Like I said not sold this is the best path

high latch
#

I've seen that pull in a route very early in the season and even did it once. It feels fine.

#

I think it's better to finish the run with one of the side-ways after last boss, but it was okay

frosty mango
#

I would really like to find a way to skip the pull before the second boss bc it’s completely useless

#

But I’ve yet to figure out any shenanigans

high latch
#

13? That can be skipped in a couple of different ways

vale escarp
#

just pick up a wl and use gate

frosty mango
#

I’m not nelf and I don’t trust pug demon hunters to snap lol

warm plinth
#

meld pot exists

frosty mango
#

Lock gate is a good play but we never run lock

high latch
#

Yeah, meld pot is an option

fathom oasis
#

Heroic leap

frosty mango
fathom oasis
#

From where the 2 sentries are

high latch
#

Oh yeah. Leap can probably do it too.

fathom oasis
#

And boss grips the rest

#

this is what I've been doing

#

ish

frosty mango
#

I just dislike ara as a dungeon

#

No particular reason

fathom oasis
#
frosty mango
#

I just don’t like running it lol

round pendant
#

I've only done a 12

#

yeah it's awful

high latch
#

Yeah, hope we don't see AK in a while after this season

fathom oasis
#

But pull 2 might be a bit on the big side, havent gone too high yet so I may need to change stuff around shortly

round pendant
#

and thank god for that

frosty mango
#

Give me back algethar my precious

high latch
#

Nah keep it

#

I used to love AK S1 tbh

Idk why it feels so rough this season

Alg is just goat dungeon in general

mint gorge
#

anyone got a good video guide on how to use mythic dungeon tool correctly?

frosty mango
mint gorge
#

just setting it up

frosty mango
#

You just install it

mint gorge
#

and reading route

frosty mango
#

There’s no setup required

high latch
fathom oasis
#

Just click mobs, for the first pull, then click new pull, add new mobs

#

Rinse and repeat

mint gorge
#

kk

frosty mango
round pendant
#

pull 10 in your route, do you kill the first stagshell then pull the rest?

frosty mango
#

It works exactly the same

fathom oasis
#

If you need to edit a group, clicl on it on the right and add/remove any desired mobs

round pendant
#

I don't trust my puggers

#

cause that's what I've been doing and it feels bad

frosty mango
round pendant
#

right

#

yeah so not happening in my groups xdd

#

god give me emotes here PLEASE

#

Ive seen a weak aura around that calls available aoe stops in order

frosty mango
#

Yeah you also have a Hpriest so

fathom oasis
#

As a way to pseudo coordinate in pugs

frosty mango

I would not suggest my route

#

Racials are dumb

#

And should be removed

high latch
#

Now that I can get behind.

frosty mango
#

And replaced with a background system where you can choose

#

Leave the same skills just write backstories and let folks pick

fathom oasis
#

Just have atomic recalibrator change your racials

#

Boom, solved

high latch
#

Either let you choose, or just replace them with stuff that is useless in combat.

#

Racials gone. Raid buffs gone. Addons gone. Players gone.

#

Oops, went too far there.

fathom oasis
#

I wonder how routes would change if dk gets some heavy nerfs

orchid narwhal
#

Guys, how do I check in logs what I'm spending violent outburst on? I wanna see the specific gcd

fathom oasis
#

Some pulls without grip feel so annoying

high latch
#

I mean.. They just now woke up and realized that grip needs to be stronger than it was. So I doubt they will become less valuable any time soon.

#

Or not grip specifically, but DK utility I suppose. And they did a decent job with AMZ and grip working on more stuff in the raid.

lusty grotto
lusty grotto
#

that will tell you what you casted while it was on

orchid narwhal
fathom oasis
orchid narwhal
#

the thing is the VO icon just does this, and this isn't exactly telling me the gcd

#

Yeah surei m just looking at some guys' loomithar log

lusty grotto
#

i mean

#

only 3 things benefit from it

#

and there's no TC on it, so hes doing it correctly

#

with the majority of it going to SS

orchid narwhal
#

Yea I just wanted to see if somebody has a filter

orchid narwhal
#

ty

fathom oasis
#

Filters violent outburst, SS, TB and TC

#

You kinda need to CTRL+F Violent Outburst and see the next skill

lusty grotto
#

just count the casts in what you posted

#

13 Outburst SS'es

#

8 Outburst TBs

#

thats it

#

looking at which GCD isnt gonna give you any important information

#

whats important is using it in SS on Loomi since its an ST fight

fathom oasis
lusty grotto
#

no

#

TB

fathom oasis
#

He used it twice on TC

#

Is what I'm saying

#

Small rotational mistake I assume

lusty grotto
#

yeah i didnt see that im on a key

#

i thought you meant target count

fathom oasis
#

Ah yeah, no, just making sure I was reading the log correctly

minor aurora
#

So, question.

I have 2 H pieces, and have 2-pc and 2 charges.

Just go for 4pc or wait for vault for a Myth Catalyst?

#

Im a 3.2k io pally

#

playing war now

high latch
#

Assuming you're asking about your prot warr, you probably want to catalyze and get 4pc now. It's very strong for us.

#

I would personally wait until this coming vault in case you get a myth piece you wanna catalyze, but you don't have to.

fathom oasis
#

Every key you play without 4pc while having enough cata charges is you griefing yourself, but you can bank on it now for a potential bigger increase later

#

If you are just doing weeklies feel free to greed in case you get a myth track piece

#

If you want to push at all I'd definitely get 4pc asap

minor aurora
#

I need trinkets and a few pieces first, before considering

#

Myth tier piece

#

honestly

#

i reached 14 resil and a halve on pally, rushed 2.5k on war on 690

#

felt so much easier

high latch
#

Sure.. Doing 10s as prot warr is gonna be easier than doing 15s as pala. 690 is kinda low, but nothing crazy.

fathom oasis
#

Well, if you wanna chill, sure wait, but if you wanna do actual keys get 4pc. It's so strong

minor aurora
#

I think i can push all 12s today @ 700

#

with 4-pc

#

honestly

high latch
#

Yeah, that probably won't be too hard assuming you get invited.

#

Or run your own keys.

fathom oasis
#

Then get the hc set, you'll be swimming in cata charges in a few weeks

minor aurora
#

Running my keys, 12s are resil so...

high latch
fathom oasis
#

Resil doesnt transfer from one char to another

#

Right?

minor aurora
#

Dunno, honestly

lusty grotto
#

no

fathom oasis
#

It doesn't

high latch
#

Ah, good to know

fathom oasis
#

I have a pair of LFR set pants, and 1 catalyst charge, yet I'm greeding in case I get myth track in vault this week clueless

high latch
#

Based.

fathom oasis
#

Am I griefing my groups? Kinda haha

minor aurora
#

well, did it

#

going to fill the last 4 11/12s on vault

#

and pray for H Antenna or M Pacemaker

#

craft weapon after shield?

#

already have 420 shield

lusty grotto
#

if you dont have a guaranteed way to get a myth track yea

minor aurora
#

720*

fathom oasis
vestal epoch
#

So if I complete heroic raid I have a chance for antenna?

#

And a lower level antenna is better than a high level trinket?

lusty grotto
#

in the vault? if you kill anything past and including loomitar

#

no

#

thats a sim question

high latch
#

Brand is the big outlier in terms of ilvl, but yeah, it's a sim question

vestal epoch
#

How do I sim stuff? Sorry pretty new to this

high latch
#

I could teach you another day, but I'm sure there are some easy guides out there. It's not super hard.

lusty grotto
#

@warm plinth we need the gif

for simming

mortal cypress

#

I can probably figure it out but is it an addon or website?

mortal cypress
#

Both

high latch
vestal epoch
#

lol I’ll google it

high latch
#

The addon simulationcraft makes things easier

mortal cypress
#

You take a string from the addon and enter it on a website

vestal epoch

Got it

warm plinth
#

I have a post I did for logs but I don't have one for sims

lusty grotto
#

oh true

fathom oasis
#

Does the sim lean towards a 0 mastery build? As it's our only secondary stat that (to my knowledge) doesnt give us any damage?

high latch
#

Repeat after me: Mastery is not a bad stat

#

It raises our attack power too

fathom oasis
#

Ah, it raises our AP

3 failed +10 arakaras on my rogue

these groups are fucking special, man

#

Are they doing the monkey pull in the beginning? Or is the first boss still too hard?

on robots it's 1/2 uptime

fathom oasis
#

I did an AK +10 3 days ago with a rogue that died in every single boss, sometimes more than once

minor aurora
#

you have for 1 hit, not for the second

fathom oasis
#

To obvious stuff too, like standing in the bad

high latch
fathom oasis
#

We are getting to the point where some people that are not good have finally bruteforced their way through 10s

minor aurora
#

yep, but we don't have for the second hit

#

so i use on the first, pump ignore for the second

high latch
#

That makes sense

minor aurora
#

Or i can leap away

#

the second

#

but that seems, iffy

warm plinth
#

what are you referring to

high latch
#

Ahhh, you mean the sentinels!

fathom oasis
#

Guessing he means the purple frontal

warm plinth
#

You can literally just strafe away

#

And not get hit

fathom oasis
#

From the big bois

high latch
#

Yeah, Arcane Slash can be outranged.

warm plinth
#

Don't need leap or anything; you just strafe away and keep going til the cast finishes

fathom oasis
#

I hate ED trash, it all keeps jumping away

warm plinth
#

you'll make it out of range

fathom oasis
#

If ED wasnt very easy in general I think people would be hating on it a bit

lusty grotto
#

right what ghash is saying is that you can outrun it natty

#

leap is not a hard requirement to avoid it

high latch
#

Yeah you can just run away

round pendant
#

Arcane slash?

high latch
#

Yep

lusty grotto
#

but it hits for jack shit sub 17

round pendant
#

that shit hits me on +14 and doesn't even hurt

lusty grotto
#

so i just face tank

round pendant
#

yea

warm plinth
#

Yeah

cerulean tusk
#

it is one of those "it aint a problem, before it is" abilities

lusty grotto
#

yup

minor aurora
#

but yep, on 711 must itch

cerulean tusk
#

For the sake of not being a meanie and getting a timeout

#

I wont comment

fathom oasis
#

Main issue on my keys is melees getting hit by it as they are trying to cleave the lizzards that jump away, the mobs that shadow step, and all that stuff

cerulean tusk
#

I will leave it to the rat

cerulean tusk
#

So many times

round pendant
#

I've only been automodded for saying a naughty word

lusty grotto
#

cat did you want me to say

#

"it shouldnt hurt at 690"

round pendant
#

my friend was playing prot and he was like 694 and saying he needs more gear for these 10s he was struggling in

cerulean tusk
#

That is a very nice way to formulate the message

round pendant
#

I just bit my tongue

#

sometimes it's better left unsaid

lusty grotto
#

yeah lol sorry im lacking caffeine

high latch
fathom oasis
#

Experience also varies a lot depending on the heal

minor aurora
#

hell, 684 can do it

round pendant
#

694 can easily do 14s too

cerulean tusk
#

Go lower mate

fathom oasis
#

Sometimes I feel like I'm just rotting away

round pendant
#

I reckon a 630 can do a 10

fathom oasis
#

And sometimes i feel like i dont even get scratched

high latch
#

Full 680 parties did 10s the first day or two of the season

minor aurora
high latch
#

Doing 10s as a 680 now would be much easier because the rest of your team probably is a lot higher

cerulean tusk
#

Nah, cause the players are 100x worse

fathom oasis
#

Tbh, if you are not hurting you are simply not pulling enough (except when pulling more will cause the death of your party)

minor aurora
#

basically cus ppl stuck @ 7s don't know how to do the first boss

lusty grotto
#

the only thing that starts to hurt are Jumpstarters at 14

#

thats kind of it

#

and possibly the Street trash

#

if you dont reflect

#

shockwave into reflect is so good there

#

reminds me of TJS last mobs

#

just watch meters go brrr

fathom oasis
#

Which street trash?

lusty grotto
#

"whats this? reflect damage?"

#

baton

ocean smelt
#

Would you guys use this neck (neck from 2nd raid boss) as 704 with leech or as 723 without leech?

lusty grotto
#

just about anything in streets is reflectable and does damage

#

so not just a deflect

ocean smelt
lusty grotto
#

leech is not worth ilvl

high latch
#

Yeah, 100% the 723

lusty grotto
#

no tertiary is worth ilvl

fathom oasis
#

I just press SR on CD most of the time honestly

lusty grotto
#

thats fine

fathom oasis
#

I need to improve on that

ocean smelt
#

Okay 😄 Just wanted to be sure before eventually letting someone else in my raid get it

#

thx

fathom oasis
#

Save for certain bosses like PSF 2nd boss or HoA 3rd

lusty grotto
#

but doing it on cd isnt bad

cerulean tusk
#

Better to press it on CD, than not press it at all

lusty grotto
#

yup

cerulean tusk
#

But rat said it isnt bad

#

so it is good

onyx prairie
#

please what is this weakaura that shows tank hit ... anyone can link it <3?

lusty grotto
#

no fucking clue

cerulean tusk
#

Just looks like DBM to me

lusty grotto
#

ask in whatever streamer's discord youre watching

#

or in their chat

cerulean tusk
#

ya ppl actually tracking so many things, eh

lusty grotto
#

people like to do that and then complain about cognitive overload

#

but tbf

#

hes referring to the one on top of the class WA

fathom oasis
#

Might be liquid wa pack

cerulean tusk
#

I mean, if ya dont know dstance is up at 100%, with DW and Rend at 18sec, what are you doing with yer life?

lusty grotto
#

and thats not actually too bad

fathom oasis
#

I edited my class WA pack so the IP bar turns blue when SB is up

cerulean tusk
#

you got an IP bar

lusty grotto
#

why

cerulean tusk
#

but why

fathom oasis
#

Yellow IP = someone's being a naughty tank

lusty grotto
#

??

#

why rely on an IP tracker

#

track SB independently

fathom oasis
#

I like having a visual of how far away from IP cap i am

lusty grotto
#

but why

cerulean tusk
#

why tho

fathom oasis
#

Lets me know if I'm well covered vs incoming damage

lusty grotto
#

are you playing colossus or something

cerulean tusk
#

I dislike being on the same side as the rat, so:
Dang bro, that is some crazy next level strat

lusty grotto
#

why wouldnt IP be up

#

thats just unneeded info

cerulean tusk
#

Dude, if you dont track it, how would you now if you pressed it to cower the hit?

lusty grotto
#

lmao

cerulean tusk
#

Nim, you are so out of touch

fathom oasis
#

Sometimes it's not up because damage is higher than rage regen

cerulean tusk
#

See? We prio IP over rage gains in here

flint needle
#

and dont tell me chest and boots pls

cerulean tusk
#

Sent it to me

lusty grotto
cerulean tusk
#

Nah, dont listen to rat, make Cloak

fathom oasis
#

Pls no gaslighto

lusty grotto
#

im not gaslighting

#

its useless

fathom oasis
#

Why is it bad to know that incoming damage is being reduced by 50% vs incoming damage not being reduced by 50%?

cerulean tusk
#

I mean, its more useful that the 100% dstance and timers on rend/deepwounds

lusty grotto
#

because youre thane

#

and you press IP so often

cerulean tusk
#

Because:
A) You are using it to dump rage, it doesnt matter
or
B) You are using it on purpose to take a hit, using it before the event to minmax the absorb

fathom oasis
#

Yeah, but on some bosses you dont generate as much rage yet get hit so hard your IP lags behind

cerulean tusk
#

you dont generate rage, cause you spend it on IP

woven torrent
#

is there a newer shocking disclosure pot? saw some tanks have a darker aoe effect around them

lusty grotto
fathom oasis
#

You generate a lot of rage during avatar, or when being hit a lot

#

You generate less rage outside of CDs and in ST

cerulean tusk
#

...

#

If you generate less rage, what does that make rage as a recourse?

fathom oasis
#

?

cerulean tusk
#

some would say, more valuable to spend correctly

frosty mango
cerulean tusk
#

Not saying, ya dont need to absorb that hit with IP, but if you are - maybe use IP as the hit comes, to minmax it

fathom oasis
#

You still press IP, but because you have less rage it's less IP, therefore there can be times where you have no IP

cerulean tusk
#

all you need is the ragebar

#

Being alive and being dead, ignore pain isn’t the decider

round pendant
#

How are these healers so bad at the game

#

I'm tilted

fathom oasis
#

No, but it lets you know if you are currently taking 50% damage or 100%

cerulean tusk
#

what

round pendant
#

no

cerulean tusk
#

You think IP absorbs 100% of the dam, if stacked to 100%?

#

is that is what is going on?

frosty mango
#

Because any damage that’s going to kill you is going to kill you regardless if ip, because if you’re dying then it’s because you aren’t pressing a proper defensive

fathom oasis
#

I don't know why it would be bad to know if you are ahead on your IP amount

cerulean tusk
#

Point is, it is irreleveant information and just part of the bloat

#

kinda like the 'you are in dstance at 100' part

#

or deepwounds and rend tracking on your target, on your defencives frame

fathom oasis
#

It's like saying that seeing your healer mana is bad, because it is irrelevant to your rotation

#

It's info that I can use to know if I need to be wary of my hp or not

cerulean tusk
fathom oasis
#

I have not said a single time that your rotation would change, I'm saying it's useful info

#

Say a minor tank buster is coming

cerulean tusk
#

How does it change what you do in scenario A?

azure crag
#

hmm...d'ya think there's a reason more players in games prefer dps over tanks and healers?

Is it just a matter of the amount of classes/specs/jobs available, or is it something deeper than that?

fathom oasis
#

If my IP is full i know it'll hurt 50% less (up to ip amount ofc)

#

If it's empty i can expect double damage

#

Why is knowing that bad

cerulean tusk
#

So you talking about a scenario B, right?

fathom oasis
#

No? Because I'm sending it all the same

cerulean tusk
#

So scenario A

fathom oasis
#

Half of scenario A

#

I am sending it to dump rage, but it does matter to me how "well covered" i am

cerulean tusk
#

(doot for clarity)
Either you send it to dump rage, and ya wont have it pooled for the tankbuster you got. Or there is a scenario B, and you been holding for it.

#

If you are pooling for no reason, you just halt your rage-gen machine

#

not advisable

azure crag
#

forced them to swap over to 5v5 just to remove a tank and shorten queue times

#

which had awful affects to the entire balance of the game

fathom oasis
#

It's a visual indicator

cerulean tusk
#

My point, knowing doesnt change anything choice wise

#

its just information for informations sake

round pendant
#

if the information doesn't affect your gameplay

#

don't show it

fathom oasis
#

It does though

round pendant
#

Also you'll be surprised how much just tracking your IP will make you press IP more (unnecessarily)

fathom oasis
#

It's an extra 30% hp if it's full

#

I think?

round pendant
#

and MT plays itself so you'll basically always have IP up

#

no decision ever comes down to oh I have 50% of my IP cap filled and not 100%

fathom oasis
#

I treat it like an extension to my hp bar in regards to using defensives, calling for an external, kiting, whatev

rancid sedge
#

is this route bad https://threechest.io?id=eBLlubfMUvk
for 15s

fathom oasis
#

In PSF first boss for example IP dissapears so fast because of the bleed

#

That's like, ideal

#

maximum value holy

fathom oasis
#

If I dont have any IP and I'm low on HP I know I'm in trouble

lusty grotto
#

if youre low HP and you dont have any IP, you will die regardless

frosty mango
#

I am like 99% sure you could go an entire key never pressing IP and your healer would notice exactly zero

#

You would notice your damage being booty

#

But I highly doubt it would make any functional difference in your ability to be not dead

pallid quiver
lusty grotto
#

overall sure

pallid quiver
#

But it only makes a functional difference to survival in the immediate timeframe if you have literally no defensive CDs

lusty grotto
#

but not in a specific window in time

frosty mango
pallid quiver
#

I notice a lot while healing

frosty mango
#

I sure as hell notice when they don’t press shield block

cerulean tusk
#

I love how we went from one extreme to another

fathom oasis
#

Maybe in higher keys the healer makes up a much higher portion of your healing because the amount prevented by IP doesnt really scale that hard?

frosty mango
cerulean tusk
#

fair enuff

frosty mango
#

Like sith

#

Sith is an anagram of shit

#

Conincidence?

round pendant
#

I literally can't think of a single scenario in which your IP status matters for surviving anything

pallid quiver
cerulean tusk
#

IP status? I can see it matter. You tracking it? Not at all.

round pendant
#

outside of it being a byproduct of your rotation that is

#

like obv if you're not using your IP you'll just be weaker

pallid quiver
fathom oasis
#

Why is it bad to know if you are at 40% HP or 70% HP though

pallid quiver
#

Because the boss eventually goes long enough that there's defensive gaps

cerulean tusk
#

cause it doesnt matter, Nep

#

your choice is scenario A or B

round pendant
#

but anything more than just using it as a rage dump? I can't see it being useful anywhere

pallid quiver
round pendant
#

if you're at the point where oh shit I need to pump IP you're already in a losing battle

frosty mango
#

IP is a smoothing mechanism, but for the majority of keys the healer is naturally just blasting you with incidental healing far greater than the amount you’re taking

I think it matters more this season with Rsham being meta bc rshams don’t really do much incidental healing but still, given thane rotational play you are always going to have ip up and there is almost no scenario where you need to choose to press it over something else

pallid quiver
#

On top of that, IP is a partial absorb that only takes part of the damage

frosty mango
#

So tracking it in detail is largely irrelevant

#

Dailcry execute phase maybe

fathom oasis
#

It's not in detail, its just a bar

frosty mango
#

Big momma maybe

round pendant
#

Everyone here tracked IP at the start and then realised it's useless eventually

#

I stopped tracking it, my IP usage went down, my performance went up

#

🤷‍♂️

pallid quiver
#

i never really tracked IP, thank you

#

I just see absorbs on my HP bar

fathom oasis
#

Thats kinda the same

pallid quiver
#

I don't make any real decisions around it; it's just default on elv ui

frosty mango
#

I just have an icon telling me if it’s up

pallid quiver
#

I don't even know if it's up if I'm at full HP or close to full

fathom oasis
#

You can literally think of it as an extra portion of your hp bar

pallid quiver
#

If I ever hit a point where I care about having a stocked IP

#

i just fucking press the button twice

frosty mango
#

And the icon on my ui is only bc I used it as Colo I don’t even look at it as thane lol

#

Just full send boys

round pendant

EHP = HP * DR

Sir

Actually EHP = HP * 1/DR

They multiply off one another

well no it's not the same

lusty grotto

The e in ehp stands for ehp

If you had 40% more hp but were taking unmitigated damage, the healer isn't saving you

#

vs using shield wall

#

or your own regen, for that matter

fathom oasis
#

Yeah, but if you are at 20% HP and press wall you are at 40% ehp. Same as if you use LS

round pendant
#

Except no because with LS you're not mitigating anything

lusty grotto

why are we even talking about this? its VERY OBVIOUS LS only amounts for the HP part, which again, was needed in ye olden days because the tank busters were high enough and because wall had an hour cd

you would instantly take spell block over last stand without thought yes bear

you can explain mathematically why an imaginary LS that gives 40% extra health isn't equivalent to a 40% DR

HP doesnt

you cant really explain something with some damage

none of that is realistic

And now its not realistic

lusty grotto

youre seem upset

round pendant
#

oof

lusty grotto

but the first thing is whats true

#

youre wrong mathematically

#

none of what you just explained fits math

#

re-read what you said

#

some damage

latent badger
#

Kinda like this?

Which has more value at lower health percentages. Additionally, which has more value at lower health percentages based on repeatable scenarios.

lusty grotto
#

also those two situations are entirely different

cerulean tusk
#

Maybe you should math it out, Nim. I think Neph got a really strong and real case here, for how LS can be useful in that exact scenario. As such, the rat is proven wrong

round pendant
#

LS is a dodgy example since it heals you

cerulean tusk
#

I mean, come on, in what world isnt there only 1 damage event, and the heal isnt the game changer?

round pendant
#

You're being saved by the heal, not the 30% extra health

cerulean tusk
#

You guys just dont get the raw power and value

round pendant
#

which is valuable ofc

#

and yeah just that, it only helps on single damage instances

#

shield wall for 8 seconds is infinitely more useful than having 30% more max health for 15

#

so it's not fair to say EHP is the same as DR because DR is part of the calculation

cerulean tusk
#

The duration isnt useful if you dead

#

you guys wrong, so wrong

fathom oasis
cerulean tusk
#

Oh, on that point Nim still stands strong

round pendant
#

He's just saying no one's gonna say anything that validates your point for you

#

since we all disagree

cerulean tusk
#

You just win in your 1 instance scenario in that exact situation

#

Also, Rat is wrong by default

round pendant
fathom oasis
#

He said it clearly, i have an opinion and it is wrong

#

I want to know what opinion it is

round pendant
#

if it didn't have the heal, it'd just bring you to 28% hp to just die

cerulean tusk
#

Nah nah nah, that is moveing the goalpost Yam

#

It is about the press

round pendant
#

stop baiting kitty

#

you're being feisty

cerulean tusk
#

Nah, I am just saying a solid case was made to change my mind

lusty grotto
#

10 mil health pool
2 mill hp left
LS = 3 mil
2 + 5 mil - 3 mil hit (30% of said hp?) = 2 mil

10 mil health pool
2 mil hp left
SW = 40% ( 3 mil x 0.4 is 1.2 mil so a 1.8 mil hit)
2 -1.8 mil = 0.2 mil

This is more mathematically accurate

None of these scenarios happen realistically, because youre not supposed to be using wall reactively, as per our class

now yes, LS is strong in that scenario, but the starting value of HP being higher by a secondary effect is skewing the results if you wanna discuss raw EHP vs DR

But to get back to the original point

#

Nim said DR > EHP

#

you "corrected" him by saying EHP = HP + 1/DR

cerulean tusk
#

Go on Yam hard, Neph! I support you!

round pendant
#

Yes if you scale HP you can survive any hit, but DR actually mitigates damage away (like the heal in LS is doing, almost, just retroactively)

#

but to say they're effectively one and the same, or so intrinsically tied that LS is just as valuable as shield wall

#

is just wrong

fathom oasis
#

There is a % of HP where LS helps you survive a hit better than shield wall. This does not in any shape or form imply LS is better than SW. It merely serves to point out that it can have nieche cases where it comes in clutch, albeit small they might be.

round pendant
#

especially in a live ingame scenario

lusty grotto
#

it was extremely evident i was talking about LS's place in the EHP discussions of old

cerulean tusk
#

See, in this case it is evident that LS got infinite value

lusty grotto
#

but in case that wasnt particularly clear, i did explain it after

fathom oasis
#

Optimally, SW is used to prevent damage, not in a situation where you are almost dead

cerulean tusk
#

Oh, are we going back to why IP tracking doesnt matter, cause how it works in action?

fathom oasis
#

And in an ideal world I agree you shouldnt have to press LS

round pendant
#

okay but my issue is this

cerulean tusk
#

monkahmm I do love myself a nice circle

round pendant
#

Because nim said DR > EHP you said EHP = HP + 1/DR implying that the left side of the equation is what matters the most

My whole point is that if you're not being healed, the HP portion is SIGNIFICANTLY WEAKER than the DR portion

#

You learn this in any game that has block btw

#

HP has a use, like saving you from damage that bypasses block

cerulean tusk
#

You are moving the goalpost tho

  1. Nim says DR >>> EHP
  2. You say EHP == HP + 1/DR Sir

I'm simply saying that doesn't disprove his point because DR scales with the size of the hit and LS only wins cause it heals you and something that gives you 50% more max health giving you 150% of your EHP, it's not the same as a 50% DR

#

more hp is good against a bunch of little hits

#

more dr is good against big hits

#

what nim should have said really is that DR is the far more valuable portion of EHP and it's not as simple as the raw EHP number

fathom oasis

Mathematically, EHP is literally that, no?

10m temporary EHP from blocking 40% of a bunch of 1m (after mit) hits for 8 seconds is way stronger than 10m flat hp while getting blasted with a bunch of 1.66m hits or whatever

I was referring to shield wall

round pendant
lusty grotto
#

right

sharp gale
#

Yeah basically if you want to use LS as a tankbuster def cd you have to use another one with it, because it is similar to : you just pressed SR

LS with the 30% heal means at 20% hp means you just 1.5x'd your hp

you just +150%'d your ehp

Shield wall is much better than LS in general though

I don't know if that's your point

In 99% of the situations even

#

I think it is the usual LS bashing that is annoying for him

fathom oasis
#

There are however very nieche cases where (probably as a consecuence of either you, or someone else fking up) it can save your life and shield wall wouldnt

sharp gale
#

Defend the attacked shit

round pendant
#

no all I'm saying is that DR is the strongest factor when it comes to surviving hits

#

the EHP number doesn't tell you shit

fathom oasis
#

EHP tells you how much damage would kill you without getting healed

#

DR helps increase that number

#

Getting more health helps too

sharp gale
#

Yes but the amount is really really small for a 1min 30 cd

fathom oasis
#

The thing is, in real scenarios you are getting healed

#

LS doesnt affect the incoming heals

round pendant
#

You can have a 99.999% parry chance and have an absurdly large EHP number because 1/100000 hits will be dodged

cerulean tusk
round pendant
#

but then fall over

fathom oasis
#

Whereas shield wall acts as if you were being healed by 40% extra

#

In terms of ehp

sharp gale
cerulean tusk
#

Exactly

round pendant
#

You asked what I meant, I'm just saying there's many different ways to come to the same ehp value and they won't feel the same

#

and the base comparison between LS and SW isn't even fair since LS is effectively a 150% ehp increase when used at that low hp (because of the heal)

so all in all nim isn't wrong that DR is strong

Oi, Looking for some advice. Starting to push M+ 11's. I am currently 707 with a 2600 io. I am constantly working on my gear, but I am wondering if there is a better build I could be working with. I am currently using the generic Maxroll m+ build for Mountain Thane. I find that I am spiking more than I would like wondering if there is a better build and set up for survivability.

idk I use the execute build and nothing hurts in 11s

#

sharp gale

I think having the tank schizo jank a frontal on to you hurts

#

i also think getting melee'd by 4 packs after the tank flops in one global also hurts

Luerce are you schizoposting

sharp gale
#

Yes, but thane is fun enough, I play pretty much what he linked minus bsv for instigate and the magic dr for disrupting

#

what are you referring to

And rage from your autos

#

I think the aoe kick is incredibly useful in m+

Plan your builds around never making mistakes and then simply never make mistakes xeos
