cuz i had ran those dungeons a billion times over
10s feel a lot easier now than 20s did in DF
We cant be too elitist
but maybe I'm just better now
We engage in some buffoonery
little of both, the last two seasons especially have brought down difficulty
Yea buddy if you didnt tank uldir 25 man heroic when you were 6 eyears old, don't talk to me about hard ok
No one that was telling you to do 20s back then was elitist though yogi. As one of the people who was pushing you to do them, we were just trying to get you to push yourself
remember when people tried to be elitist about classic, that rules
There was no negative connotation involved
The classic player base is something else
yeah all I've seen here is people telling yogi to be less anxious and just go for it cause it's easier than he thinks
“You babies are about to learn what the game was like when it was HARD” all raids are cleared ten minutes later
that's the opposite of elitism
It's so common in games to have this stupid us vs them bullshit. It's very exhausting.
Like why can't I just like what I like, and you like what you like, and we're all just happy because we're having fun
i suck terribly at video games at horribly misuse items that arent flatly spelt out for me
example doom time, sorta cuz yogi
heretic
undead warrior knights
People generally consider high keys to be ones where your decisions on talents and routing start to actually matter for timing a key
So at what point are you thinking I need to cast revenge?
in 20s you could just get away with a random talent build and W-keying
so, this is doom with a medival skin
that doesn't mean they're "easy" since you still need to basically know your class to not fall on your ass as a tank
except its better than doom, anyways,
so I don't think it's elitist to say 20s aren't high keys either
All my cooldowns are pressed, Shield Slam and Thunder Clap are on cooldown. I don't need to press Shield Block right now. I have rage available. I don't have an Execute target. I'm going to cast Revenge.
And then you have 2-3 different sets of talents competing for the exact same key level anyways
there is an item i get and the item states something along the lines of "you become ethereal and slip out of reality" (totally butchered it)
I think I’m going back to dps next season
fixt
and the axes he throws are considered a physical attack
NGL I fucking hate tanking this season
So based on what I was reading, why not IP to burn the rage?
and that item would make the axes go right through me and deal no damage and contine traveling along its path
i was getting this effect confused believing this entire run i just did
Because you press IP when you're going to overcap rage if you don't. In that scenario, I am not at risk of overcapping because everything is on cooldown.
you want to press a button in every available gcd to try and get more shield slam resets
that it was for magical damage reduction, so i would turn the item on mainly vs the obvious wizard men in the game
If I was at like 90 rage, I could do both revenge AND IP
if you overspend on IP and can’t press anything at all, that has cascading bad effects
so that I could dump a lot
Ok that's making more sense
so like, OF FUCKING COURSE, im going to fuck up something in wow, that isnt blatantly spelt out for me
its just, theres no way its NOT going to happen
It only seems complex because it's happening really fucking fast during actual gameplay
But it's simple once you break it down
Being in the situation where 3/5th the people I play with are competent tanks has made being a DPS player too easy, I'd probably still be tanking if I was a pugger
yeah I'd say s1 10s were pretty comparable to old 20s
Now can we ask the real question here? Will they ever fix target dummies so they don't keep you in combat prison half the time
now it's prob like 12s
fwiw I think it's good like this
even 12s feel easier in some ways since there's no affixes
Yeah as a new tank it's a little overwhelming specially managing all the other stuff to but it's really fun learning
I've been sitting here for 10 mins talking to you fine folks and I'm still in combat 
that being said, i saw something about uh, i guess it's beluar, and he's talking about that spells that are more deadly will be a thicker casting bar with more little things on it
yeah I think it’s ok that the max gear rewards are in reach if you’re just generally decent at m+ and don’t have to go higher
I feel like I'm defaulting to revenge to much
so thats a nice fix
And? so what? you learn from it and go again and you're suddenly better at the game
I still do that sometimes just from colossus habits
Same
Revenge really baked itself into my brain after two seasons of colossus
Right cause I dabbled In it last tier and played all Colossus
Yeah it's a great change
will still need a WA to recolour casters/prio/etc mobs
but it's a good start
good evening ghash the mastery propagandaist how are we doing today 
the default UI is literally unusable in m+
Though tbf revenge still has its place, closer to TC than it used to be
imagine if entering combat reset your CDs and running 10 yards away reset them 
I'm doing okay for the most part. Supposed to go to a child's birthday party in like 4 1/2 hours that I really don't want to go to and realistically don't have a reason to go to but at the same time I feel social pressure to go to and social anxiety ABOUT going to. So in short, not doing super great at the moment.

just don't go 
They should just have like instanced dummies with an NPC and you can tell the NPC what kind of dummy/dummies you want, how much health they should have, and have a CD reset option
Brother I would rather do my taxes than go to another kid's birthday party
Would be sick
yeah
what i would want but wouldnt make any sense would be like, melee monsters have a sword beside them and casters have a staff, and if they attack or cast fast its 2 weapons or a wand and like maybe tank healer icon, all of them sit to left or right of name plate
like how many you want, should they attack, what k value should they have by setting difficulty
This is the likely result
still in combat btw
maybe a bow icon for very rare obviously bowmen
On the other hand, I don't think people in general want a lot of clutter on the nameplates. Generally you want only very important information to be there
so it's like, i know before i enter combat there is 2 melee and a caster mob in thiis group
also some way to indicate whether some attack is magic, reflectable, bleed, whatever
Yeah too much information makes your brain short circuit
Stop paying attention to anything because it's all white noise
I mean it would be nice to know if something's a caster vs a shooter
also fucking hell they need to STOP with these leaping mobs
Honestly I'd love a revamp on nameplates in general because my biggest frustration is trying to target the right fucking mob to kick while my nameplate I'm trying to target is bouncing around like I'm on hyper mode in a pong game
intially i was just going to simplify it as sword for phsical attack focus, staff for magic, and something healy for healer
Ping pong nameplates is too real
every dungeon with my friend is me and my friend malding because the mob we went to kick's nameplate moved and dodged it
this is part of why blizzard has been trying (and failing) to make it appealing to pull smaller in m+ lol
the forest of nameplates is v bad especially in default ui
the mode where the name plates are like shifting and moving up and down, thats the one i hate lol
It's a damned if you do and damned if you don't though, because if you use overlapping nameplates, how tf do you find it
It's just in a giant clump of nameplates
Giant clump of nameplates, can't even see the mobs in most pulls
I do as well, but sometimes the situation calls for an emergency kick not on your focus target (e.g. a pug kicked your focus target and left another mob unkicked)
I'd like nameplates that "overlap" but offset the nameplate by some multiple of however many mobs there are in combat
Hear me out though
This is true
rather than dynamically adjusting
Just attacking boxes for 30 minutes straight
Let us have nameplates (and names) fully disabled, but if you lose aggro (or gain on non-tanks), the nameplate shows up. And if a mob casts, a clickable castbar shows up
literally just give me a stacked list of mobs above the group of mobs
You want raid frames in dungeon
I think you used to be able to just have a list generate on the side of your screen of all the mobs you're in a fight with (think like boss frames)
Tbh would be sick
ffxiv has that
But they took that functionality away from addons
but ffxiv dungeon content is a joke
But it would be great if you could just have the list
no jumping, clearly see if a mob is casting
tbh I wonder if you could make a plater addon that does what I said
It would be awesome
say you pull 5 mobs
it just offsets their Y height by X * 1-5 on each mob
and then you set it to overlap
it'd functionally be stacking nameplates but they wouldn't change places
but it'd look a bit goofy on the X axis
You can set overlap offset but I do not think it's possible to change that offset based on target count
I dont' mean it's not possible in plater. I mean I don't think it's possible because you just can't do that to nameplates
should be possible, since it's possible to get engaged mob count in lua
Nameplates are one of the most restricted elements of the UI in general
but idk the restrictions on nameplates yeah
I'd imagine there's probably like you can't change offset in combat or offset can't dynamically update or something like that
I just want the fuckin things to stop jumping around man
Like you can't even check range anymore directly. You have to do it by using a spell's range
the amount of times I go to kick a mob and one of the mobs just walks around me for no reason and the nameplates all shift and I kick some random mob
and I've noticed it more this season that mobs never fucking stop moving
Right? Like you're still as a statue and they're just meandering around for no reason
like why do they just randomly decide to walk off to my sides lmao
so I backpedal
and then my friend misses his mouseover kick
And you'd think it'd be easier on a ranged dps, but on my hunter you should see me like looking up at the fucking sky trying to find a nameplate 😂
don't go... you should log on and do more priory runs i think
oh damn
i love when trinkets split damage just for fun
incredible
A whole 18k dps 😱
that change has been so bad and annoying, everything splits and at best it does a tiny bonus dmg for each target hit to offset the lower hit on the maintarget
we gamin
whoah there buddy, gotta scale down text size on deja xdd
yeah ngl I just noticed that
40% haste! watch out for the IRS they will come steal your stats!!
hmm it might be because of my general font settings actually
Yeah that's without ItF even 
"do you have any idea how fast your gcds were going?"
LOL
There's max ItF
that is very attractive
I've never felt more appealing
ahh very nice you have a 3080
What's funny is I actually do have a 3080
Is there a spreadsheet for m+ saying at what time we should be at each boss otherwise key is dead
Depends a lot on group comp, how fast you guys are, where you lost time etc
Not that I've heard of. I don't think it would make sense because it depends on route.
You get a feel for it as you do more keys
I've seen somebody wipe cinderbrew 16 4x in a row and time it, but if you're wiping even once in a pug, key is probably dead
very dependent on group skill level
ok, ty
I was just letting you do your thing lol
I was just saying this for the millionth time this season, all the mobs have fucking happy feet
It makes perfect sense that I move, mobs move. But if I'm still, there is no reason a mob should ever move
Huh, just learned something by accident
Apparently violent outburst doesn't get consumed by TC unless you actually hit something with it lol
Not relevant but interesting
you still get the extra rage ?
Hi, I'm starting to push 14s and I still have some crests left for upgrade but too many options and I'm not so sure how to do with Trinkets. I understand it's good to have a defensive trinket (brand or tome or codex) and an offensive one like pacemaker. Right now I'm using Tome and Pacemaker but I also have Soleah's technique, Ritual Mud, Codex, Signet of the priory. I feel like my stats are ok: 22k haste, 12.7k crit, 2.2k mastery and 13k versatility, are they? I have some options so I can move things around. thanks
the best is when the mobs keep moving until they eventually start hitting you in the back if you let them
are you saying this to me? I'm not asking what's the best
Yeah, though with TC that's what, like 2 or something
not you, no 🙂
And you wouldn't want to send a TB proc on nothing
The TB itself gets consumed, but not the outburst
ooohh
Tome and pacemaker are likely the best
As for stats, just sim all your gear for info but try and keep haste high
I would not define brand nor tome as a defensive trinket. Codex isn't even in the conversation as it's utter dogshit. Mud, nucleus, and embrace are the defensive trinkets of the season (at least, the only ones even worth being in the conversation of defensive trinkets). I would suggest tome+brand, and you can use mud instead of tome if you feel you need a defensive trinket.
Ok I see, thanks for the the insight, I don't have brand yet so I guess I'll keep Pacemaker and Tome for now, I'll keep simming and see from there
bot why would soleah's technique be so popular? It's pretty easy to move stats around so I'm guessing people are using it because they're missing some stats?
It's just a solid trinket, as stat sticks generally are
ok thanks I feel better now with my tome + pacemaker choice 😄 I'll probably spend my crests on trinket or set pieces just to be sure
Guess Im out of Priory jail since Tome is simming lower than the Projector trinket from Nexus King
didnt even realise that trinket was particularly good
What sim are you doing? Tome does less overall in aoe for sure but usually better prio damage
5 min 1 target
Huh neat
Interesting
I can post the log if you want
running this in M+ weeklies
I just thought Tome would clear it by a mile
these damage on use ones tend to be fairly shit
but build matters and char matters thats not how u would do the most damage in ST
because the build is different fromwhat you would sim for ST in term of talents
that can change how good pieces are
I would also say you don't really always need one defensive and one offensive trinket. I'm running brand + pacemaker in 16s and i feel fine
The defensive options this season are, frankly, fucking dogshit
mud ❤️
Fair shout, what would you change in the build? Its my first season as prot warr so I was just messing around a bit
the ones this patch really do not inspire joy
the 'def' trinket off the third boss depresses me
Like I swear even the bombsuit trinket from gally is better than the myth track version of that
its completely useless
and is almost guaranteed to show up in my vault every week while I fish for tome
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/bJpkCYy3sALr4LYWi2HMhj just for instance this is projector vs tome ST build and sim 5 mins
for my char at least
now if i was to replace brand with project it would probably show as an increase, droptimiser is great but it also doesnt show u which trinket its replacing in a sim
i mean it doesnt matter that much if u are just gunna run m+ thats trinket is probably better over all in m+ anyways
You mean tome or projector?
projector u arent gunna be running ther st build in m+ and boss fights arent 5 mins lon
Cheers ty very much ❤️
Got a question: when doing hardmode Tazavesh, the bosses drop heroic loot, what rank is it? rank 1 or ...?
@chrome falcon do you use a defensive trinket on Captain Delcry ? I’ve not always had the best luck with healers on that one if I run out of defensives. I could be just playing it wrong though.
i haven't worn a defensive trinket all patch
if i was going priory 17 i probably would wear mud or something boring
just shield wall every bleed and then if you don't have shield wall use demo shout and a bunch of IPs
run thunderlord on that boss and you have demo shout constantly because it's two targets
dailcry is significantly harder if you go left ofc
me when I dwarf the bleed
because the healer is going to be much more busy with the group
yeah i haven't gone left all patch
I go left lol.
but if you were, it'd be harder
if i was going left i would wear defensive trinket
for sure
but also i just would go melee comp + resto shaman in that dungeon then go right
tell the group you're holding for battle cry
let them figure it out themselves
👍
going right makes the boss so much easier
like taener does literally nothing
cast (kickable) and swirlies (dodgable)
compared to a tankbuster that your healer has to waste GCD dispelling
and giant group nukes that kill people
But matta the io ppl go left, so i must go left too
Some do
yikes
route made by bored healers or what
😂
Fire when the stops get missed ?
Because it technically takes longer
Because more footman
And u have to move a bit on the first boss
Thats literally it
gotcha
if your group can’t bait or kick for shit, right can go bad lol
but what if
dps learned
if your group can't do either of those thing you're cooked anyway
What if people learned. What a beautiful thing it would be.
lol
Left is healer misery
As a healer I can confirm it’s way more likely people will die left past like 14
People will usually kick some of the fireballs
99% chance if someone gets the leap during aoe they don’t defensive and die
Even if I’m doing 4-5m hps they still just….die on that overlap
@pashalik Pug DPS don't consider the kick as "nothing"
They will literally tell you that you make the fight harder
Why is left healer misery? I thought right was with people taking fireballs to the face
Because the right side miniboss when in the boss fight has a pulsing aoe and overlaps with the boss leap
You can’t avoid it and at a certain level it becomes a hard heal check
Ah right and lining it up with the earth shattering spear probably doesn’t feel too good
Is Fueled by Violence bugged?
No
not aware of any bugs
anyone got a smart way to taunt on nexus king?
is miniscule fixed? i found its simming way lowre now
Taunt any time while he's casting.. he'll still finish his ability on the other tank
oh they fixed FBV?
wait nvm was thinking of BV
Did they ever address BV not working with a good number of abilities?
Hey guys anyone got an idea why the top players are stacking vers atm? I’ve seen most just go even with the vers fiber on cloak for some reason as well as taking duskthread over dawnthread
same reason they do it every season
Its just until they get gear and then move to crit?
by top do you mean keys?
yeah so r1 players swear by it but depending on the damage intake it may be required due to infinite scaling
its not something we should follow
we're not in that level of the game
Yeah Vers is DR and with scaling will be needed for survival at high keys
Yea I agree 😂
they do it just in case
but honestly they might not even need it
its just something they do every single season
Like keep in mind that for a mere 10% DR from vers, it costs you 15,600 rating

True but then you also have double dmg % for that dr
and that's the 1st DR gate, so anything past that will cost even more
Or no, that's 20%, nvm
Yeah, sure. But you could get that same damage from crit for less rating
also remember they are pushing r1 keys while being ilvl capped like the rest of us
so they are trying to squeeze in whatever they can
capped as in
held back
not as in 6/6
idc if you pick crit or vers personally; stopped fighting that battle a long time ago. They're comparable in damage and if it gives you a feelgood for running vers, by all means
and I think that the most correct analysis
even if you don't really need to
yeah its not our first rodeo with versa dicusssions in this channel lol
antenna or pacemaker same ilevel?
sim
Remember BFA when you couldn't step into a high Underrot without versatility 
I just try to keep vers and crit semi even, cause that's what the sims say does the most damage
has sense updated his spell reflect spreadsheet for s3?
yes
yes
Nice
Is there a know way to ensure the trade game in Streets doesn't bug out ?
Yeah let me know too
I’ve bricked 3 to this
Seems to do it if you go too fast, I notice it bugs if I pick up the item and leap>run to vendor
But that may just be bias I have no data to prove that
Do y'all do the forgemaster or the priest route in Priory (12)?
i do right
Forgemaster is just pull where he is and walk backwards to avoid floor pools?
Hmm I should try it then.
I gotta re-do my whole keybinds
Which one?
I'm so tired of avatar being alt+5
mine is ctrl + r
that's trinket for me
I gotta redo the whole thing
cause sub rogue just breaks my fingers
my opener goes like 1 shift+f 2 r f 6 q 4 lmao
like typin a password
Hello fellow unstoppable walls of plate
Does anyone have any good tips for handling aggro in mega-body BL pulls in high keys?
I feel like on the big BL pulls, e.g the Arakara opening pull, i struggle with people tagging early while i'm body pulling, or bursting high when i'm building aggro, so it is EXTREMELY spicy and i often get someone killed
if people are doing that in high keys, they arent meant to be in high keys
we have more initial threat than vdh's as thane
they should be used to it
Yeah the former issue (people tagging or healing while i'm still bodying) is REALLY annoying, i guess that's a separate issue tho
But i definitely feel like i'm panicking sometimes when the pull is done and i'm fighting for aggro
they're pumping too early
I mean
I am VERY happy to blame DPS in this case then lol
I just assumed I was doin something wrong
no one should be pressing ANYTHING until you're all at the miniboss
pretty much
90% of cases of lost aggro are just people pressing shit way too soon
and then making the tank shit themselves and then it snowballs
(I usually just let them die tho)
Ok this helps a lot ty gamers
Honestly who even needs them
I do enough damage with 4set

This is my first season tanking big gamer keys so i'm very in my own head about doing a shit job lmao
what level are these big gamer keys
Well big for me, 10-14
you should press something generally if you’re going a long distance, don’t just literally body pull
that explains a lot
don’t want to lose aggro to a single auto after a kick or a tick of a hot
yeah ofc you should do your best to hit everything with something
but not really feasible in ara kara big pull
-# just don't do the AK big pull
yeah there’ll be some stragglers, just making sure he’s not just walking all the way and hoping for the best lol
This has been my adjustment yes
if it's happening in other big pulls in other dungeons you should prob reconsider how you're actually gathering the mobs
Arak is the roughest one. I think Halls trips me sometimes because of those 2 little fucks that walk up and someone always snags them first
yeah you gotta hang around for a few seconds
Yeh learned that the hard way
Anyone have sources on stat caps? I can't find when we hit DR on Haste
you wannat stop at around 27k unbuffed
Hello, are the phaseblades in Eco-dome just slapping hard or is there something wrong with them?
Its the only mobs in there i "struggle" with.
if people start hitting mobs before the first arakara mini
do you guys just let them die
🤔
same
do you have logs, cause they dont really hit hard
arcane slash from sentinels is what trucks
and the puddles from them
but other than that, no
are you getting back hit by any chance? cause thats the only thing i can think of
The phaseblades do have an attack speed buff they give themselves so if your SB falls off or you combine it with a bunch of other damage sources it can get hairy
Most prot warriors has melee from Phaseblades as the single most damage taken 🙂 So seems like they just slam a lot and much 🙂
Wym
Look at the melee dmg fro mthe phaseblade 🙂
ok that would make sense why im not seeing big damage from them
can you link a log?
cause if your SB is dropping
and youre getting back hit
you will get slammed
i dont even think about them
I dont have it logged sadly 🙂
Yeah the buff they give themselves is called Alacrity, it’s a 30% attack speed buff. Nothing super threatening but if you’re caught with your pants down it’ll be noticeable
Sentinels hits like fucking truck and im like kill the fucker already
My biggest issue with Phaseblades is when I’m trying to pull them in a pack and a ranged tags one and it shadowsteps to them first
Probably
Happened too many times
prot 101: keep SB up, as a prio over all things (and dont get backhit cause you cant block from behind)
Fucking pepegas
“Tank?? Aggro?? Tank??”
That might be it too 🙂 I was just curious 😄
I wonder how many weeks still no ire
I swear some of these pugs have that on a macro
Fml
I haven’t seen one drop on any difficulty meanwhile alt tanks in our guild are rocking heroic brands smh
Same, even have cleared hc with my tank alts
No lucl
it'll be a while till i get mine
I need to do heroic on my bear since it looks like I’m gonna be swapping to that for prog
but im not stressing over it
rather keep running floods i guess
I mean I will get antenna like in 2 months if no vault
oof
becasue blizz asked 3 dps
Probably
to click 1 barrel
and they couldn't do it
clicking 1 barrel
between 3 dps
is just too hard
so we wipe on a +16
dps are queueing for 16s when they're so bad they have to stare at their frames to play
frost dk
doesnt surprise me
and can't see if there's a barrel about to kill the whole group 5 yards away
Maybe I just blast LFR hoping for warband ire
I’m running myth tome and hero nucleus on my warr rn
if i ever equip nucleus i'm deleting my character
I havent even got tome for warr
So unlucky
Over 100 runs m+ since season started 🙂
Still haven’t procced nucleus cheat so it’s just free damage. Better than anything else i had on hand
it's not free if it costs you 7k main stat
like any dogshit trinket with main stat is better than a cheat death that isn't proccing
Nah its free damage and I like it so whatever
I don't think it can be simmed, would you guys stick w/ a pair of Champion tier Soul Hunter boots or stick w/ a higher ilvl Heroic pair?
Ilvl is better than boot effect
i would do hero tier
DH boots probably make you tankier, ilvl is more damage, just go ilvl
Warr doesnt even need cheat death
only way i would run hunter boots if it was hero track or higher
I don't think it even affects the cheat death...just the shield effect from abilities happens more frequently
if you're not pushing then wear whatever obviously but that cheat death trinket is absolutely awful
correct
yeah theyre talking about something else
if they reduced cheat death CD they'd be crazy
2 conversations happening at the same time
🙃
What's the normal uptime on SB? Had 83% for that dungeon 🙂
It’s really not “absolutely awful”. It’s middle of the road for sure but it’s not nothing. Better than a lot of trinkets, pretty solid damage proc on it. Obviously ideally you use other trinkets but I dont have a pacemaker lol
dont run ITF if youre under 20-21k unbuffed haste btw
So I will enjoy my nucleus
a cheat death trinket that you are not proccing and doesn't have main stat is absolutely awful
Whatever man I’m not gonna argue with you about it lol
Solid B-tier trinket, I like it, easy game
i agree with Matta, but we've been through this discussion a billion times in this channel
so 🤷♂️
I usually end with about 98-99%.
that's fine i'm not attacking you i'm attacking the awful trinket and blizzard's decision to put like 3 dogshit tank trinkets in the raid and also the best tank trinket of the last 3 expansions
like what is the trinket balance this patch exactly
for tanks
for anyone actually
how did we go from bombsuit to whatever that thing off soulbinder is
it's baffling
yeah idk
there's some questionable design choices
and there will be more now that Scarizard is gone
i think they could buff soulbinder trinket 300% and it would still be bad no joke
at least brand is stellar
was shocked it didn't get any tuning in the "final trinket tuning pass"
They should take Loomithars Living Silk and make it a prot warr ability ez
yeah and then brand is just busted
amen
but it could be worse, like undermine, just one trinket and its a defensive one (well we had other 2 but everyone else wanted them)
do we think that mdi is going to be 5x loomithars or something that trinket seems wild for keys or what
yeah trinket balance has been dogshit this whole expansion tee bee aitch
i hope we keep getting trinkets that yell at us to chainpull though
#fuckrogues
Hey, is critical strike prio among versatility or is it vers first ?
ideally yes
ilvl > haste > crit >= vers > mastery
all of our stats are good though
I've seen some high keys players running vers over crit so i'm wondering
start here #protection message
and this #protection message
everyone else just copies when they dont need it
Is anyone else having issues with threat? I keep getting aggro in raid after co-tank taunts. If it was just one tank, I'd get it - but 7/10 Heroic MFO pugs I've run this week I have had to hold back a lot when it's not my turn
no
Yea, i'll keep my stats at where it is for now lol
Thanks
depends who you tank with
verse is taken for stuff that you can't parry but only when you have boats of crit and are dying
i rip if i hit a bunch of tier procs in a row sometimes
Damn word filters, I ain't writing that out twice
were u being naughty William?
outside of the usual playing with tanks that dont know their class and cant play for shit
sorry i was mid key run so
happens every season
check their talents they are usually running some m+ build or some shit
and/or have shit weapons, wrong hero spec, pressing the wrong buttons
I was making a comment on how to co tank when you have big peepee damage but alas the phrase is banned
not everyone has a big peepee so it might make others sad
luckily mine makes everyone laugh
the 2 inch punisher
give the fella a chance
This is just pug life
My cotank is a VDH and it's almost always a 2-taunt swap, else I have to throttle.
tbh it happens alot imo threats wacked
nah
How much haste do we want? What's the 100% uptime amount? 22k?
vdhs are just dogshit
As a long time VDH player, i cna confirm VDH is dogshit
27k
half of the players are playing reaver
in raids
when they should be FS
Correct, I also play reaver because brain off is quite enjoyable LOL
How to get declined to any key: a guide by Mattacate
++ if you're not sending stuff on CD every time it's a DPS loss to play FS. (Which it seems like is impossible to get into the head of some players)
but your reaver burst cant compete with thane
Which dungeons is Sudden Death + Heavy Handed worth? If any.
Why do you think I'm playing a warrior now? I take INFINETLY less damage and do WAY more dps
you could be a fotm reroller, we have a lot of those on occasion
I am. 100%
I have played VDH since Legion, one tier for Nzoth I played BDK but been playing VDH otherwise. I started playing warrior cause they BLAST right now and actually have really enjoyed the playstyle of it
My squad forced me to play warrior this tier because they got tired of my bear getting out-dps'd by the healer 🙁
(I mained prot war in TBC, so it's fine)
have you tried dotc?
they said "monk" in the title so i went for the moonshot
Heresy. I've been a laser bear since Legion. (I haven't played bear this season, I hear dotc is pretty neat)
How come first boss of hoa adds sometimes die, sometimes dont?
they will always die unless you pull them
if you pull them they're real mobs that give %
but you shouldn't
you should just wait for them to die to rp
I watched Kira pull them into boss in a recent vod, but I didn't notice that they gave count.
ah no kidding, yeah I just charge in after full clearing
so you play the garbage spec
Then had one happy time where they respawned after dying doubling their count
if that happens they do not give count
on my alt
people just dont know how to play
half of those reavers dont even know order changed after glaive
Nothing better than holding your GCDs for a good 5 seconds then popping a single TB and aggroing 5 mobs mhm
this literally happens every season
gonna go try halls 17
without exception
wish me luck
best of luck matta
godspeed
hey guys , should i changed the belt for a 710 belt ? sims says higher dps but does the haste proc around 40% uptime is better for higher keys ?
obey the sim
but yeah if you have SB gaps, keep the delve belt for now
if you dont, then obey the sim
if i hit 15 floods tonight im gonna be very upset
fucking tired of trinket farming
at least sacbrood was done quick for my fury build
Ive been rocking idol+antenna since week 1
Idol is the scariest trinket Ive ever used, but damn good damage
What is a respectable percentage of shield block uptime in a raid fight?
90%+ effective on logs
best raidbots settings for simming (dungeon top dps)?
i dont know about overall aura uptime though
could vary a lot
as long as you have it while getting hit and actively tanking, you should be okay
5 target patchwerk 1.5 min or 1 min
ty
thanks
if you have logs, just go to damage taken
and put your mouse over blockable hits
if you have 90% on the little modal that pops up, you're good
how the fuck do you ninja pull
the downstairs huntmaster + gargon pack
during the right side shard pull
how????
on a 17????
logistically i don't even understand how you do that
lmao
i'll tell you if you tell me how you ninja the pack below the demolition duo 40 seconds into the fight (the one you usually do not pull)
equally good question
hoa always comes back to little fear mob shenanigans
I tanked a 12 and 13 today 
good shit ghash
why is your name scientifically wrong
its not
its scientifically right
mastery hater
wont get the chance to critically block if mobs die before they hit you
ez
It's not intended to say you should stack mastery. It's just a meme response to all the people coming in here acting like the sky is falling because they have 10k mastery
really doesnt matter unless you are actively pushing 0.1 % tbh
??
bruh this evoker was pumping???
1.13 mil dps? I didn't know healers could even do that anymore
evoker healer has most dmg
out of all i think
I think farseer sham is behind but the healing on that is balls
evokers can burst like fucking crazy
is this guy 1guying
what
I think he might be
you are a troll
Like you see one person in a comments section or a discord say something, and you embellish it to be "everyone"
oh idk then. I don't see it here. Every now and then someone will ask why we recommend it when it sims worse than x trinket in aoe
then they are fucking stupid
saying it sucks and u cant really keep the stacks on it but I got 90% on the crit side
1 sec in the middle of a floodgate
kekw
also how much haste are u guys running
as much as we can
all of it
fair enough
play stupid games win stupid prizes
atleast this discord is cool
not like the paladins one
where i said i was doing tank dmg pre retri nerf in raid and a guy told me to kms
pink warriors
More like stink warriors
nothing is wrong
Sims really like mastery after a point, more AP more big dam
yes the APL has haste numbers for perfect SB rotation at that interval
and yes you should def go more haste than what it suggests
but it aint wrong
on you should go mastery after haste
gearing fury/prot has never been easier!
also, you need to consider that keys arent perma aoe, boss fights exist
which is why tome should be used over what is suggested there
anyway 2 more before i table flip and go watch a movie or go get drunk or something
well actually the tank who has to listen to the dh whine constantly about them ripping aggro and getting 1 shot
and is literally being told "taunt" 3 seconds before every pull
well, ret pallies doing that is funnier i guess, but thats about it
is angrier
his fault for being an idiot
like
do people think that flaming their tank
for 5 minutes after their deatht
is going to win them the key
fuck man pugging halls is so hard
i must have failed on +16 20 times already
I bricked a 16 last night because the dk gripped a mob to me on second pull of flood
And I was rooted
So the other two he didn’t grip just went and clapped the healer
cause im doing run 14
I linked the route before the key, the mob he gripped wasn’t on it
what in the fuck

I asked nicely for him to not do that and homie went berserk lol
Do your route properly smh
lmaoo
Tbh worth the brick just to collect that screenshot
In the 13 eco I did, I completely forgot a pull next to 2nd boss
had to make it up on the fly at the end x_x
My favourite part about tanking honestly. It was better when there was no deserter but whatever. Don’t like my route (which is linked so you can see it) then enjoy queue simulator.
It’s Englishish
My primary issue wasn’t that he did it
It was that I wasnt expecting it and it wasn’t on the route which I linked
FINALLY MAN
finally halls 16 done
my hand hurts
like actually i think 2 straight hours of attempting halls
perma chain pulling literally just 2 hours in combat
might have hurt my hand
blasting though bruv


i started tanking in s1 since my friends needed it and one of the best perks of being a tank was just leaving whenever someone got nasty
knowing i have another group in 30 seconds
and he will sit in dornogal for the next 30 minutes
dont be an asshole
thats not a perk
people like you is why they had to put this system in
yeah if it's only one toxic dickhead
i just play better than him
and the rest of the group thinks i'm cool and he's cringe
works every time
shaman is uploading the log from that halls 16
i'm interested to see
if i'm actually washed
i think i wasted hella rage
im a very nice guy wdym 
same to this guy
100% an asshole
thank god they put it in, so people like you get screwed over
i think its more about people insta leaving key after one death
but those people can just afk at the entrance
and what are the other 4 meant to do
just do the key alone?
You can report them
now they all have to sit there for 5 mins waiting for abandon timer if wipe on first pull
you can 100% report them
during it
after that you will have to do the chat -> deranking shit
i guess we'll see if literally anyone ever gets banned for it
the answer is no
does it matter?
deranking is for reporting people inting their pvp rating no?
deranking reports have been in game since BFA
i know cause i fucking report every single one of the fuckers that leave on a timeable key
and have been
and its the reason why i have a blacklist
which i no longer have to use
There's a text box that goes with the report. You can type out what they're doing even if it isn't 100% lined up with what the report subject is
That's what I do when someone holds my key hostage
i've also been known to say some unkind things to people who grief my keys so uhhhhh
occasionally hesitant to hit a chat report
i mean like maliciously grief
just hard inting
i would never flame someone for making a mistake
yeah like inting inting actually intentionally not just missing a kick
Entitled to your opinion
Im not someone who would insta leave, and I haven’t intentionally griefed any keys this season (unintentionally by being bad I’m sure yes). But there’s a certain level of tolerance I had for dps whinging about route, pulls, etc.. if it got too much, wasn’t about to stick around and deal with abuse.
"whining"
have you tried
turning off chat
so on a whim
you just leave
see why that's wrong?
what if someone says "my favorite color is red" and you take "offense" on that
You might need to look up the definition of on a whim
and also you can call it being an asshole but im not gonna finish the key for dps player telling me to rope it after meaningless mistake
too bad
"oh let me just leave cause im a tank and fuck em"
dps are legitimately early primate level iq and healers are only slightly better, sometimes you just have to ignore everything they say and go time the key anyway
what about the other 3 players in your key
you guys are so delicate lol
who all think that dude is cringe as fuck
but they're only going to remember the tank
who actually left
theres a difference between someone fucking saying shit in chat vs what Matta is describing
If there weren't other people in the key that get screwed by you leaving I'd feel differently, but there are, and it isn't right to screw them over just because someone is hurting your feelings
words dont hurt you
they hurt your ego
which is made up by your mind
turn off chat and get over yourselves
some ratfuck dps flaming you the whole key is annoying as fuck
and makes me play worse
right click -> ignore
but you just keep playing, blast some fucking thunderclaps
time the key
call them a nerd
This is why I only group with non-English speaking server dps
i dont even ignore the fuckers, i just let them yap
and move on
I also just never look at chat, even if it’s a healer begging for mana or a rogue begging for a combat drop
unfortunate but I had tanks leave my keys after some pea brain 2k dps started going NUTS on them and I mean wishing death etc and i dont blame them one bit, thats too bad
whats procing the minimailemental trinket is it just heroic throw or
bleeds
really ;/
nah it doesnt proc on bleeds anymore
what does this mean
afaik
oh sorry
i thought
yeah ignore
i thought i was looking at melee
that's just all damage
oh
wow i only got 75% blocked hits this run
that's actually
disgusting
i am washed
no
the only thing that got your effective block down was this
why am i getting a different number to you
You were getting shot in the back
looking at the wrong thing
That's rough, man
you got a 100% on MS
and a 100% on Stone Fist
shoot is the one youre not blocking
gotta face em
same as the priory guys
yeah youll shoot up if you face em
and get that melee block up, which should be easy for you
could be back hits
i think it's the little guys in 2nd boss
when i shout them to group them up
they just tickle me in the back
i have no idea how to check that
i got griefed off 2 reflects
oh wait SR shows in logs these days
god bless
180m to third boss
i have my priorities in order
this is more revenging than i thought i was doing actually
i wonder if that's too much
wait is this log bugged
why is it saying i presed shield charge once the whole key
why is details saying the same thing
you can expand melee and check where youre down
