#

block chance isnt a consideration

#

it does nothing

acoustic hearth
#

Like how chaos bolt does bonus damage based on crit% since its 100% crit chance

lusty grotto
#

nor does it do anything for mastery which is why its the lowest prio (but still good to have)

acoustic hearth
#

makes sense

lusty grotto
#

block value is important

#

extremely

acoustic hearth
#

considering SB should be i want to say 100% uptime?

lusty grotto
#

block chance isnt

acoustic hearth
#

between 2 charges+ shield charge cd

lusty grotto
#

as close to 100% as humanly possible

#

meaning 90%+ at best

#

or 87%+ at its very very worst

acoustic hearth
#

makes sense

#

WE still get rage from being hit right?

lusty grotto
#

its heavily normalized and very minimal

#

but yes

acoustic hearth
#

I cant find a tooltip for the resourse anywhere on character page spell book or talents

lusty grotto
acoustic hearth
lusty grotto
#

its basically tied with our autos in the form of Devastator

#

shield slam and TB are your biggest contributors

#

as is whirling

#

pull by pull, obviously overall will be very different

mighty valley
#

it's like

acoustic hearth
#

gotcha and

mighty valley
#

3 rage, capped at once per second

#

or something

lusty grotto
#

yarp

acoustic hearth
#

to make sure im not trolling (dont think i am) whirlwind and slam dont need to be on my bars ya?

lusty grotto
#

correct

#

nor does rend

acoustic hearth
#

rend was a given since tclap applies it

#

i mean

lusty grotto
#

right but we tend to mention it when asked about WW and Slam

acoustic hearth
#

wait ur saying i shouldnt tab rend all the mobs in a pack? gasp

#

gotcha

lusty grotto
#

given what you just said earlier

#

im guessing thats a joke

acoustic hearth
lusty grotto
acoustic hearth
#

also assume only use T roar when mobs hjave rend and after i applied deep wouinds via revenge

lusty grotto
#

usually you dont think about it that way

#

you just use it for snap agro

acoustic hearth
#

just send on cd then?

#

ah okey

lusty grotto
#

optimally, then sure, you can do that but those bleeds will be on mobs regardless

#

and like all CDs, its dynamic

#

there's no snapshotting like ferals

#

so you can just send it

acoustic hearth
#

also is there a logs channel

#

or do i just send one here. figured id let u laugh at me a bit

mighty valley
#

there is a logs channel but you can also send here when it's quiet

acoustic hearth
shrewd grove
#

Totally valid. It's quiet tonight

acoustic hearth
#

❤️

#

also for 4 set we avoid chest ya?

shrewd grove
#

Ideally

acoustic hearth
#

Ill try to target farm hero track pants then. I have hero track gloves+ helm and champ shoulders for tier currently with 2 catalyst charges. Im thinking i just get hero track pants and convert those with hero track shoulders or holding a catalyst and using champ shoulders with hero track tier pantsfor now

shrewd grove
#

These are your casts with Violent Outburst. Ideally you are sending these procs on TB in AoE situations, or SS in ST situations. Never send this proc on TC. You did it 20 times here out of 68 procs. That's a ton of missed damage

#

Your blocked hits is incredibly low, which is because your SB uptime is incredibly low. Your haste is VERY VERY low, and you should absolutely be running Heavy Repercussions over ItF

#

Swap that choice node and your SB uptime will be much better. You can swap back to ItF when you break ~21k haste

#

You wasted about 1k rage in this run, which is 10 full bars of rage. Make sure you are slamming IP before hitting a generator if you are at 70+ rage

#

Avatar uptime is low as well. Partially this is do to wasted rage, but mostly due to just not pressing the button when it comes off CD

#

The major power of prot warrior is spending rage to cycle your CDs back sooner, so you hit them as many times as possible throughout the key

#

Wasting rage means fewer CDs

#

Fewer CDs means less damage

lusty grotto
#

remember to link effective uptime

#

thats low

#

but yeah aura uptime isnt what we look for

#

that which i posted is

#

that being said the advice is still good

shrewd grove
#

I posted the blocked hit count as well. It's two pics Nim

#

❤️

lusty grotto
#

oh true

#

i didnt click the pics

#

sorry

shrewd grove
#

Npnp

#

@acoustic hearth One last tip, Demo Shout increases your damage dealt to mobs via Booming Voice talent.

This means you want to Demo Shout before you use Roar and Shield Charge, if it's available.

Sequence should be Avatar>Demo>Roar>Shield Charge ideally. Obviously, if one of those isn't off CD you just send what you have

#

Demo Shout + Roar/Shield Charge will naturally sync/desync/sync again over the course of the key. I personally wouldn't wait more than a couple seconds to try to sync them up. If you have roar/shield charge and demo shout has like 5s left on CD it might be worth waiting for it to come up, but never hold a CD longer than that unless the pack is going to die soon

acoustic hearth
#

interesting

#

i legit was using shield charge for 0 rage cost shield block kekw

shrewd grove
#

It's important to know that it IS a 0 rage cost shield block cast as well

#

But, you want to use it to it's fullest potential

frosty wave
#

Hello everyone
Is it possible to sim brand fully stacked? Every time I SIM it gets replaced by other trinkets because it's at 0 stacks
If yes can you tell me how I didn't find in the options of raidbots

acoustic hearth
#

also ive been going into pulls with shield charge as first gcd

#

that bad or should i like

#

raw dog it with shield wall to start

frosty wave
#

Check vods from top prot usually charge into leap into charge throw + taunt
Gather with roar

tame jasper
frosty wave
#

Shield charge is usually not used from distance

frosty wave
tame jasper
#

Afaik not

frosty wave
#

Ok thanks I'll retry

lusty grotto
#

but yes you can probably add a custom APL portion to have it fully stacked

#

its unrealistic so we dont bother

frosty wave
sinful copper
#

im so used to colossus. for thane, what are our big defensives? demo shout (which gets lowered by clapping), shield wall, and ignore pain? avatar isnt a defensive anymore at all right, because it doesnt give shield wall as well?

lusty grotto
#

no it needs 4 mins to fully stack

frosty wave
lusty grotto
#

youre talking about 2 different things

#

sims vs keys

frosty wave
lusty grotto
#

of rage* but yes

frosty wave
lusty grotto
#

our APL isnt optimized for it

frosty wave
lusty grotto
#

so if you wanna sim brand for keys specifically instead of 5t patchwerk 1.5 mins sims you do 5t patchwerk 5 mins

lusty grotto
#

anyway sorbitol understands hes not new here

frosty wave
#

Yes you're right

sinful copper
#

and shield slam is highets priority still in M+ then clap probably?

lusty grotto
#

no TB is

#

except for outburst on ST

#

TB is always prio

sinful copper
#

ohhhh

#

k ty!

frosty wave
#

Colossus is still viable though
Yoda has timed several 17 with it and I did resi 14 on it
It needs a lot of condition (avatar to demolish mostly) and you don't have as much rage but I feel like defensively it is sometimes stronger sometimes does more damage than Thane but maybe just an impression

pallid quiver
#

They have different defensive profiles

#

As a whole, Thane is maybe tankier, but like

that entirely depends on what attacks are coming in and when

lusty grotto
#

yeah colossus is viable

#

its just considerable less damage

void holly
#

Question, maybe this is a scrub question but is 100% shield block attainable? I just started playing prot and will be near 3.3k this week. I am running into situations where i have nothing to press for a second or two during a pull and have 1-2 seconds of no shield block which ends up getting me trucked

lusty grotto
#

no

#

you want to get as close as possible to it

#

but 100% has never been attainable

#

ever

#

not with ITF talented

void holly
#

I easily was able to get to 16's and now it feels like a struggle sometimes

#

ITF?

lusty grotto
#

and much less so this season since we dont have SC cdr

#

Into The Fray

void holly
#

ah found it

lusty grotto
#

you can probably 100% with HR talented instead without any consideration of haste

#

at a rage intake and dps loss

#

which are pretty important, especially rage

#

also for the love of god, make sure you have shield specialization talented

void holly
#

Sry HR?

mighty valley
lusty grotto
#

did you find ITF?

void holly
#

I did

lusty grotto
#

check the talent right next to it

void holly
#

I just started using it when i got to 16's

lusty grotto
#

in the same choice node

#

you dont start using it because you get to 16s

void holly
#

oooo

lusty grotto
#

you use it at 21k rating

#

or more

#

less than that, you use HR

frosty wave
lusty grotto
#

...

#

i think you have it backwards

frosty wave
#

Ah that's what you're talking about sorry

lusty grotto
#

you talent HR if youre UNDER 21k haste

#

more haste than that you ITF

#

you need 21k haste as a bare minimum for ITF

#

21k or more

#

ITF isnt good at anything lower than 21k haste, your SB uptime will suffer GREATLY

frosty wave
#

And yet I can't get more than 93% uptime with ITF

void holly
frosty wave
#

I just have to git gud

lusty grotto
#

93% is not bad

#

as long as youre over 90%, youre fine

#

but i hope youre looking at effective block

#

and not aura uptime

#

because thats what matters

#

93% aura uptime means jack shit honestly

frosty wave
frosty wave
void holly
#

another question which might be dumb, is there any ability that reduces the CD of Shield Block and if you press it multple times does it overlap it's duration so you can just spam it? or is there a benefit to holding it until one charge is about to fall off

lusty grotto
#

because you might as well not be tracking back hits or stuff like that

mighty valley
frosty wave
void holly
frosty wave
lusty grotto
#

you dont "save" it

void holly
#

mmmm okay

#

i will review my vod's thats prob my fuck up

mighty valley
#

long term you're better off pressing buttons for a chance to refresh shield slam

frosty wave
lusty grotto
#

well thats fine

lusty grotto
#

this season is considerably easier too

frosty wave
#

Don't say that I'll feel bad sadgers

lusty grotto
#

just something to keep in mind

acoustic hearth
#

considering last season max timed key was a 23

frosty wave
#

I was one key away to be resi 15 last season (Fuck brewery)

acoustic hearth
#

and we arnt even day 3 of week 5

lusty grotto
#

yup

acoustic hearth
#

and we have people timing +20s rn

frosty wave
#

I was just happy to time HOA 15 yesterday after the nerf

lusty grotto
#

and turbo boost 2.0 isnt on

#

until... a bit at least

acoustic hearth
#

and people dont have bis mythic raid drops yet/ havnt full cleared for the goooood loot

lusty grotto
#

top keys will likely be 26-27s

frosty wave
#

There is still a huge gap between 14 and 15 imo

lusty grotto
#

yeah thats normal

acoustic hearth
#

i say great push we see a 29-30 timed

lusty grotto
#

wouldnt surprise me

acoustic hearth
#

but live servers prob max at 28

frosty wave
#

Yeah I can see that coming

lusty grotto
#

we're back at pre-DF key squish levels

frosty wave
#

But I'm happy where I am now and I feel more confident than last season about routes/cd management/damage etc... So I'm getting there this is the first time I'm tanking since keys exist

lusty grotto
#

yeah that comes with experience

frosty wave
#

Surely

lusty grotto
#

thats why its the best teacher hehe

frosty wave
#

Yeah haha.... I still didn't go into HM street

#

Too afraid to brick it

acoustic hearth
#

I just don’t have a group for it and get impatient with pugs

lusty grotto
#

i havent even bothered tbh

#

but maybe i should

acoustic hearth
#

Free myth shit

frosty wave

Every week it gets more useless to go so I don't bother

#

For the first boss in priory and any others with bleed, am i just slamming IP as much as I can to mitigate between defensives?

#

that shit hurted

nocturne spindle
#

assumg your playing your defensives right yea

#

do you go left or right

#

the only other thing is to make sure you have sprell reflect for left sides miniboss tank buster

maiden ravine
#

I just go left with pugs. I dont trust kicks.

#

Burns me every time i go right

#

I just dont think i was ready for the bleed to hurt as much as it did

#

i forgot how weak warriors were to big bleeds/dots

blazing ridge
#

The miniboss spiders in Ara that are not moveable, when I am not in meele range do they hit the Target that is place 2 un threat?

obsidian girder
#

Hey folks, it's still the thing to have shield block in dungeons above 90% uptime I guess, is there anything known how much uptime IP should have ? Guess also above 90%

lime urchin
#

Uptime on IP is not something to measure

torpid dome
# maiden ravine that shit hurted

Assuming you're doing him on defensive stance as well? If I'm battle stance, this boss kinda hits hard and I run out of defensives eventually, however with Defensive stance it feels managable

#

yesterday we finally hit AOTC 🎉 I think as a group we were stuck longer than necessary on Nexus King which delayed AOTC by 1 week or so for us

hasty flare
#

this a normal dungeon prog curve? yep

torpid dome
#

Jesus, someone likes prio lmao

jagged pier
#

Cause its ez

sinful copper
#

hows brand of ire + netherprism for M+ tanking?

#

will i do a gajillion dps?

jagged pier
#

Okay i guess

#

Dont know what prism does

sinful copper
#

rly? just ok? it's the top dps trinket for tanks tho

jagged pier
#

Brand is sure

#

But i dont know or care what prism does cause its never simmed high for me

#

So im just presuming you will loose value with that trinket

marsh elm
#

isnt prism the one that lets you pool for big pulls?

jagged pier
#

And just havjng trinkets wont make u do a gazllion damage, play is far more important

sinful copper
#

it's like 60k strength or something with max stacks

marsh elm
#

yeah i do pretty big dps as prot warr in big pulls with it, i dont play it anymore tho

#

but i peaked like 25m dps in priory

#

dunno if its good

sinful copper
#

with netherprism?

marsh elm
#

ye

#

on pull after first boss

sinful copper
#

oh the triple. damn

marsh elm
#

but i dont play it anymore, not a fan of on use trinkets even if they are good for planned pulls

#

but technically i guess it can be good if it helps you team kill hard packs faster even if it sims less overall

narrow jay
#

the crit weapon enchant tooltip shows that it gives less crit than it ssupposed to lol a visual bug i hope?

jagged pier
#

Not sure why you would be using crit enchant, but cant ever trust tooltips in wow

Champion brand better than like hero pacemaker ?

hate that region lmao

hasty flare
#

also prot question

torpid dome
#

ah knockback alr

hasty flare
#

i have a fellow prot warrior friend and out breakdowns a very diff

#

not sure if one of us is doing something wrong

torpid dome
#

still an extra aoe kick is decent no

hasty flare
#

this was my breakdown at the end of a weekly yday

#

is this how it should look? (i understand varience by dungeon)

jagged pier
#

We cant tell without logs reallt

hasty flare
#

F

#

i should probably log my m+

marsh elm
jagged pier
#

I dunno id sim, i dont see how 2k crit out sims the main stat one tho

#

Espieclaly with the amount of stats we are getting this season

marsh elm
#

i think crit was slightly ahead for me even if im already pretty crit heavy

hasty flare
ocean smelt

jagged pier
torpid dome
#

just as a comparison, this was my dmg distribution on a prio

but yeah, these dmg distributions dont tell complete stories

#

without the logs

hasty flare
#

i need one man

neon elk
#

We have 2 random breakdown screenshots and both miss execuse , smh

hasty flare
#

you pressing alot of execute in m+?

jagged pier
#

My guess is they arent the talents

torpid dome
hasty flare
#

3rd priory ive ever tanked tho so dont judge harshly

#

i also was running a talent build i didnt normally run with into the fray

#

but i dont beleive i had the req haste as i did often drop a bit of shieldblock at times and needed to adapt

jagged pier
#

BearClassic lets take 200k more dps a second because im not running shield spec

hasty flare
#

huh

marsh elm
#

tome + brand is so weird, missing out on 14k strength

hasty flare
#

i just tried coping a build from a warrior that had done the key on a higher level

#

as i hadnt done above a 13 i think so was just a yolo

jagged pier
#

We dont just copy

#

This is why everyone is not running shield spec

neon elk
#

Strenght isnt everything, tome + brand is goated

jagged pier
#

Their reasoning is, im not dying t melees so i dont need it thats it

#

With your talent build u kight as well have runt he wowjead push build

#

Its basically the same

autumn pawn
jagged pier
#

Expect like 2 talents

hasty flare
#

well iirc you needed like x amount of haste for ITF to work right?

marsh elm
jagged pier
#

Anyway your are wasting a tone of rage

hasty flare
#

this is what i would be running if i went again

jagged pier
#

U need to work on that

hasty flare
#

Any chance you could link me a log of like a better performance so i can look and compare

jagged pier
neon elk
#

U not enjoying trinket doesnt make it bad, but u do u, play antena/pace + brand then .@marsh elm

marsh elm
#

pace, dont have antenna

#

no luck

jagged pier
#

You were fine, i didnt look at when you chose to send outburst on tb or ss, but probably maybe sent it on tb too much, cant tell, doesnt really matter ither just very min maxy stuff

neon elk
#

They are averaging quite similar so not that big loss

jagged pier
#

This needs fixing

neon elk
#

There are places where pace js even better

jagged pier
marsh elm
#

i still think prism is maybe underrated if you need to nuke some stuff quicker

jagged pier
#

U arent dumping rage enough

marsh elm
#

40-60k strength on demand is yuge

hasty flare
#

So i need to spam IP more?

jagged pier
#

Pretty much

hasty flare
#

that i can do

jagged pier
#

Remeber is dones matter if it.over caps its all about rage spent

#

U just dont want to overspam

hasty flare
#

so if i was high on IP and it wasnt low enough to get like

#

the full addition when i pressed

jagged pier
#

Because u need rage for shield block and revenge when u dont have ss or tc/tb to press

hasty flare
#

i was holding

jagged pier
#

U never hold

#

Its point less look at all the rage u didnt spend

hasty flare
#

so hit the conditions of sb/ss/tc

jagged pier
#

Thats less avatars

hasty flare
#

and send tf out of ip

jagged pier
#

And less shiekd walls over the dungeon

#

U actively did less damage and took more damage

hasty flare
#

I mean i dont think over using shield wall is the worst thing if you dont die right

marsh elm
#

How impactful is SC? I've noticed on logs it's only used like 2-3 times on top logs, i thought that seemed super low, guess we dont have to press it often for SB ?

#

probably doesnt help that it can be kinda shit for pulling due to stun

jagged pier
#

I dont know why they hold it they just seem to forget it

#

U can hold a little bit for a stun if u need too

neon elk
#

Its buged

jagged pier
#

But mostly it should be used on cd otherwise its wasted

ionic fern
#

SC doesn't show on logs properly.

jagged pier
hasty flare
neon elk
marsh elm
#

i just assumed it would be a better button to press than plain SB since it generates rage

pallid quiver
jagged pier
#

It is

pallid quiver
#

It doesn't count any shield charges done in melee, but you can still kinda count my looking at damage done

hasty flare
#

@jagged pier as a rule, if you reach the correct haste for it to work is into the fray the play? or best to just run HP in general

pallid quiver
#

Since it still records the damage done by shield charge

hasty flare
#

like if not pushing r1 keys

pallid quiver
marsh elm
#

alright fair, if i know logs are bugged at least i know im not doing something seriously wrong

hasty flare
#

but im not 100% if its same rule

#

i remember in bfa but dont think ive checked since

pallid quiver
#

But yeah, as long as you're willing to think about shield block to keep uptime, there's no reason to not run ITF

hasty flare
#

in bfa it was "get x amount of haste + ITF and you have 100% shieldblock"

jagged pier
#

That doesnt happen anymore

pallid quiver
#

You can run HR if you don't want to think about it at the cost of mostly damage

jagged pier
#

U play itf

#

U will have gaps

hasty flare
#

ok then im not picking

#

idk for the loss

#

i wanna be a safe boy

jagged pier
#

Well the higher haste u go the less gaps ans size of the gaps are

pallid quiver
#

It is technically a survival loss, too, but that's real minor

#

since most survival's from play, not stats

hasty flare
#

i feel like outside of rank 1, like if you doing title level of keys and you have 3 blasters and coordination its fine, just be alive dont flop and spam those thunderblast procs

#

ill leave all my trinkets to carry my dps keksquad

split stream
#

Hey all, quick thoughts on vault, my warrior alt is tanking about 80% of his vault keys and not raiding above heroic atm... I have heroic tier legs, do I take the myth legs or the heroic brand trinket... I've already run heroic raid and didn't drop, currently running 710 pacemaker/cursed idol, this trinket seems to be like an extra 500k DPS and up to 1 billion damage throughout the course of m+ I'm looking at...

hasty flare
#

so realistically i attempted a higher key, timed luckily but due to not being completely prepped/knowledge of the build i just made it alot harder for myself for a very minimal gain

jagged pier
#

Well thats why kira, etc seem to be running the top 'simming' build which can take bsv too. But i did do some simming yesterday and the higher in target count u go the closer the buils are to each other

hasty flare
#

im always gonna take safer/better def tho

jagged pier
#

So in the end it dont really matter what talents you take i guess, just prefernce

hasty flare
#

just live

#

is tank rule if i wanna hunt title and a bit higher

#

but im not pushing r1 keys its not worth the risk

pallid quiver
hasty flare
#

i was that guy that still played the aoe heal spell for bear druid back in s2 df

jagged pier
#

Well you will get to that point, for instance i believe shield spec was swapped too at lvl 20 keys

hasty flare
#

Oh that works for me

#

i prefer shieldspec taking it off i was a bit worried

#

wasnt a fan of bloodsurge

#

felt i didnt notice any improvment with the amount of rage i had

#

dispite wasting alot i had moments of being a bit starved

jagged pier
#

I mean u would if u didnt spend it

#

If anything from your build drop bloodbounre for shield spec

#

Bloodbounre is dudu for thane

#

Espeically as you are running hr too

#

It will be like less than 1% dps loss

past laurel
#

What builds do we run for mid keys like 12-15s and high keys 15-20s? Do we have a crazy damage build for farmin 10s yet?

pastel geyser

#

I did that, didn't drop, but also feels bad taking a hero track of something vice a BiS piece

Im 711ilvl, feel really tankie, wanna push past 12s ive use to do 20s last xpack

#

Do you reckon not having myth track Brand and boots is going to make a significant difference when pushing for M+ title this season?

blazing ridge
#

Boots no

neon elk
#

U can do just fine with hero om both of them

narrow jay
#

I spent most of the season using depths but stats seem to be so much better now as the seasons have progressed.

torpid dome
neon elk
#

I mean for now even normal one is good? They are both 704, hero can go to 710 but damn i dont have enough crests for mythic items to boost not even thinking about hero ones , and those 6 ilvls wont make that huge difference

blazing ridge
#

I saw 3 dropping, 1 went to a Tank with 99 Roll, 1 went to a Healer Main (Monk), 1 to DPS (Fury) xdd

#

Wcyd

#

getting fucked every week.

#

At this point I will probably just wait for the Turboboost patch to buy them. Raiding every week on Heroic is getting boring

#

Yes the Champion Version is good enough

torpid dome
#

we'll start myth. progress from this Sunday, so who know we might even get towards soul hunters eventually

neon elk
#

Ive used veteran before hero and it did great for its ilvl, that trinket owns

blazing ridge
#

Maybe I should LFR SOul Hunters

bleak scaffold
#

At some point gear is just easying the game and getting more comfort. I don't think you need to be full or even half Myth stuffed to down Dimensius anyway

neon elk
#

The fact we have rwf proves that , always was like that, always will be

bleak scaffold
#

I mean, we are not all RWF player here haha, we all want to be nice and pretty with full Myth gear to be at our best, but from raid it's clearly difficult to get all the stuff for everyone. there is not that many loots compared to the number of players :/

Yea but my point was u dont neccesary need the gear to beat the content , it just makes it easier

not alot of pack dodging or cc coordination

Hello ppl I play warrior protection and wanna ask about trinkets I use brand trinket champion and tome of light heroic but have antenna champion what to do, keep tome heroic and use or antenna champion ? Im talking only for m+ .

strong forum
#

antenna for general use

#

tome is specific use

restive jackal
#

So u say to take out tome heroic and use antenna chmapion and brand champion in m+ push keys as 14-16s ?

strong forum
#

tome specialises on ST

#

so its turbo good on prio damage

#

but in keys it switches pages more often

#

so you get more uptime on the magic absorb

#

which is also handy but not as useful

frosty wave
#

How is signet for us ?

I keep at max crit the tome all time max 50 stacks and use it to get back crit and again and in continue

strong forum
#

restive jackal
#

Never keep it on absorb

strong forum
#

thats how you are supposed to use it yes

#

but in keys it advances pages more frequently than you can force switch it

restive jackal
#

On raidbots say tome hc is still better then antenna in aoe and st hmm

strong forum
#

ofc

#

thats on ST

restive jackal
#

So overall @strong forum u say to stop use tome and start use antenna champ with combo brand champ because still didnt have luck to get heroic version

strong forum
#

for keys antenna is just better

restive jackal
#

But I lose some ilvl but more power , crit and main stat

strong forum
#

ilvl doesnt matter much on trinkets

#

tome doesnt have mainstat

restive jackal
#

I will try it to play then with antenna champ then tome heroic, btw on bloodmallet say ST tome true and 5 targets Cursed Stone Idol 🙂

#

Im confuse of what say it on bloodmallet

strong forum
#

yeah

#

for aoe 5 targets tome is bad

#

and cursed idol is huge

restive jackal
#

I have cursed idol heroic, btw dont like that channel 1 sec...

strong forum
#

its extremely strong

#

but i understand that sentiment

restive jackal
#

Btw raidbots dont show corectly the real dmg as tank when we simt it no?

strong forum
#

?

#

whats wrong about it

restive jackal
#

I mean I hear many ppl say the raidbots is made for dps classes for tanks and healers dont show corectly

#

Dont know if is good what I say

strong forum
#

it works perfectly correct for tanks

#

for healers it doesnt do anything yes

#

but for tanks it works perfectly fine

restive jackal
#

im not expert with raidbots, so for aoe is good to set patchwerk 5 bosses 40 seconds without raid buffs yeah?

strong forum
#

simming for aoe is rather pointless

#

as it wont impact your gearing choices beyond trinkets/talents

#

theres multiple sims you CAN do for aoe

most of the time i end up rememorizing it

fathom oasis
#

It just takes a bit of experience. Some keys have so many mobs in a crowded area that it's hard to tell them appart, but after a few runs they should be clear enough

#

I had some issues with a few packs on DB because they are in different altitude altogether

#

Also in ecodome, around the second boss it was hard for me to tell which group was which

#

But you end up memorizing them and their placement

#

There used to be a weakaura that marked mobs included in an mdt route, but it stopped working some time around Shadowlands, I believe

Hey folks, quick vault question: Got 2 possible picks in the vault. Either ring with haste/mastery (which afaik mastery is our last stat) or wrist with good stats (but I have a crafted wrist already that I can potentially shift the embellishment to my shield). Or I can pick up a heroic Araz's Ritual Forge or finally, socket. Sims for both patchwerk 1/5 and dungeon slice suggests ring. Haste on the ring is really nice but I'm stuck on the mastery part of it.

AM reduces the cooldown of some abilities when using Rage. Avatar is one of those abilities which CD gets reduced. TR is not, so the cooldowns will get de-synced.

fallen marlin
#

Yea but i mean when i have 2 of them up i can use them in macro ?

Technically you can use anything in a macro. monkahmm

Taz HM gives mythic gear - anyone have a feel on the type of gear it gives you? As in would I be likely to get chest/legs or is it a myriad of capes/trinkets like delves

6% chance of getting tome assuming you have 3 chests every week
