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
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
13? That can be skipped in a couple of different ways
just pick up a wl and use gate
I’m not nelf and I don’t trust pug demon hunters to snap lol
meld pot exists
Lock gate is a good play but we never run lock
Yeah, meld pot is an option
Heroic leap
Yea that’s an option
From where the 2 sentries are
Oh yeah. Leap can probably do it too.
And boss grips the rest

I just don’t like running it lol
That seems less scary
Yeah, hope we don't see AK in a while after this season
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
we'll probably never see it again
and thank god for that
Give me back algethar my precious
🤞
AA with the dialogue removed
Nah keep it
It’s awesome that they made a meld pot. Now for a stone form pot not on the 5 minute pot CD.
Alg is just goat dungeon in general
anyone got a good video guide on how to use mythic dungeon tool correctly?
Doubt there’s videos for this, what in particular are you struggling with
just setting it up
You just install it
and reading route
There’s no setup required
I dunno.. Dwarf cleanse is nice, but by no means mandatory. Meld however was straight up necessary for lots of routes.
Just click mobs, for the first pull, then click new pull, add new mobs
Rinse and repeat
kk
You can use threechest.io
pull 10 in your route, do you kill the first stagshell then pull the rest?
It works exactly the same
If you need to edit a group, clicl on it on the right and add/remove any desired mobs
In mine? Grip second to first, nuke or cc chain depending on where pat is
He replied to it here #protection message
Yeah you also have a Hpriest so
As a way to pseudo coordinate in pugs
I would not suggest my route

lol
this what i did for 16
That looks pretty good. Personally I would split the first pull into two because I don't trust my party members.
That’s why I’m saying have it act exactly like stoneform. Off the pot CD and a 2 minute CD just like the racial.
Now that I can get behind.
And replaced with a background system where you can choose
Leave the same skills just write backstories and let folks pick
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.
I wonder how routes would change if dk gets some heavy nerfs
Guys, how do I check in logs what I'm spending violent outburst on? I wanna see the specific gcd
Some pulls without grip feel so annoying
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.
go to damage done and click the VO icon
You can use a filter on events
that will tell you what you casted while it was on
Do you have a log at hand, I can send you the corresponding filter
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
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
Yea I just wanted to see if somebody has a filter
ty
Filters violent outburst, SS, TB and TC
You kinda need to CTRL+F Violent Outburst and see the next skill
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
2 TC right?
Ah yeah, no, just making sure I was reading the log correctly
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
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.
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
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
Sure.. Doing 10s as prot warr is gonna be easier than doing 15s as pala. 690 is kinda low, but nothing crazy.
Well, if you wanna chill, sure wait, but if you wanna do actual keys get 4pc. It's so strong
Yeah, that probably won't be too hard assuming you get invited.
Or run your own keys.
Then get the hc set, you'll be swimming in cata charges in a few weeks
Running my keys, 12s are resil so...
This is true.
Then I'm sure you'll be fine, and I would get 4pc asap as Neph recommended too.
Dunno, honestly
no
It doesn't
Ah, good to know
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 
Based.
Am I griefing my groups? Kinda haha
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
if you dont have a guaranteed way to get a myth track yea
720*
Yes
So if I complete heroic raid I have a chance for antenna?
And a lower level antenna is better than a high level trinket?
in the vault? if you kill anything past and including loomitar
no
thats a sim question
Brand is the big outlier in terms of ilvl, but yeah, it's a sim question
How do I sim stuff? Sorry pretty new to this
I could teach you another day, but I'm sure there are some easy guides out there. It's not super hard.
Do you think Sim ever goes "AGGggh! All these damn questions, I need a day off! "
I can probably figure it out but is it an addon or website?
Both
Primarily check out raidbots.com
lol I’ll google it
The addon simulationcraft makes things easier
You take a string from the addon and enter it on a website
Got it
gif for simming?

ty
I have a post I did for logs but I don't have one for sims
oh true
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?
no
Ah, it raises our AP
Are they doing the monkey pull in the beginning? Or is the first boss still too hard?
first boss
Haven't done AK sinecthe nerfs
it's not hard people are just awful
I'm well aware haha, I'm not an anti-mastery propagandist
Ran 11 Eco, War is inverse pally.
Hates magic, loves phys.
Pretty much. But we don't mind magic if we have Spell Reflect ready.
on robots it's 1/2 uptime
I did an AK +10 3 days ago with a rogue that died in every single boss, sometimes more than once
you have for 1 hit, not for the second
To obvious stuff too, like standing in the bad
Spell Reflect is also a 5sec -25% magic DR. That is the big part.
We are getting to the point where some people that are not good have finally bruteforced their way through 10s
yep, but we don't have for the second hit
so i use on the first, pump ignore for the second
That makes sense
what are you referring to
Ahhh, you mean the sentinels!
Guessing he means the purple frontal
From the big bois
Yeah, Arcane Slash can be outranged.
Don't need leap or anything; you just strafe away and keep going til the cast finishes
I hate ED trash, it all keeps jumping away
you'll make it out of range
If ED wasnt very easy in general I think people would be hating on it a bit
right what ghash is saying is that you can outrun it natty
leap is not a hard requirement to avoid it
Yeah you can just run away
Arcane slash?
Yep
but it hits for jack shit sub 17
that shit hits me on +14 and doesn't even hurt
so i just face tank
yea
Yeah
it is one of those "it aint a problem, before it is" abilities
yup
Very true
exactly, it does hurt on 690 doing 11s
but yep, on 711 must itch
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
I will leave it to the rat
You've been timed out?
So many times
I've only been automodded for saying a naughty word
my friend was playing prot and he was like 694 and saying he needs more gear for these 10s he was struggling in
That is a very nice way to formulate the message
yeah lol sorry im lacking caffeine
Gear can compensate for skill, and the other way around
694 can easily do 10s
Experience also varies a lot depending on the heal
hell, 684 can do it
694 can easily do 14s too
Go lower mate
Sometimes I feel like I'm just rotting away
I reckon a 630 can do a 10
And sometimes i feel like i dont even get scratched
Full 680 parties did 10s the first day or two of the season
that... i don't know.
Doing 10s as a 680 now would be much easier because the rest of your team probably is a lot higher
Nah, cause the players are 100x worse
Tbh, if you are not hurting you are simply not pulling enough (except when pulling more will cause the death of your party)
Arak 7s are harder then Arak 12s
basically cus ppl stuck @ 7s don't know how to do the first boss
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
Which street trash?
Would you guys use this neck (neck from 2nd raid boss) as 704 with leech or as 723 without leech?
just about anything in streets is reflectable and does damage
so not just a deflect
723 no question
thx
leech is not worth ilvl
Yeah, 100% the 723
no tertiary is worth ilvl
I just press SR on CD most of the time honestly
thats fine
I need to improve on that
Okay 😄 Just wanted to be sure before eventually letting someone else in my raid get it
thx
Save for certain bosses like PSF 2nd boss or HoA 3rd
Better to press it on CD, than not press it at all
yup
please what is this weakaura that shows tank hit ... anyone can link it <3?
no fucking clue
Just looks like DBM to me
ya ppl actually tracking so many things, eh
people like to do that and then complain about cognitive overload
but tbf
hes referring to the one on top of the class WA
Might be liquid wa pack
I mean, if ya dont know dstance is up at 100%, with DW and Rend at 18sec, what are you doing with yer life?
and thats not actually too bad
I edited my class WA pack so the IP bar turns blue when SB is up
you got an IP bar
why
but why
Yellow IP = someone's being a naughty tank
I like having a visual of how far away from IP cap i am
but why
why tho
Lets me know if I'm well covered vs incoming damage
are you playing colossus or something
I dislike being on the same side as the rat, so:
Dang bro, that is some crazy next level strat
Dude, if you dont track it, how would you now if you pressed it to cower the hit?
lmao
Nim, you are so out of touch
Sometimes it's not up because damage is higher than rage regen
See? We prio IP over rage gains in here
I have 3 crafts left https://i.imgur.com/kP8jB03.png what do i send :Kekw
and dont tell me chest and boots pls
Sent it to me
shield > weapon > bracers > belt > ilvl
Nah, dont listen to rat, make Cloak
Incoming damage that is
Pls no gaslighto
Why is it bad to know that incoming damage is being reduced by 50% vs incoming damage not being reduced by 50%?
I mean, its more useful that the 100% dstance and timers on rend/deepwounds
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
Yeah, but on some bosses you dont generate as much rage yet get hit so hard your IP lags behind
you dont generate rage, cause you spend it on IP
is there a newer shocking disclosure pot? saw some tanks have a darker aoe effect around them
thats a rotational problem on your part
You generate a lot of rage during avatar, or when being hit a lot
You generate less rage outside of CDs and in ST
?
some would say, more valuable to spend correctly
Because it doesn’t change the outcome
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
You still press IP, but because you have less rage it's less IP, therefore there can be times where you have no IP
all you need is the ragebar
Being alive and being dead, ignore pain isn’t the decider
another bricked 10 ara
Well, achtthahahauaaalallyhhhhfckhfyyk
lmao
it could be
No, but it lets you know if you are currently taking 50% damage or 100%
chat
what
no
You think IP absorbs 100% of the dam, if stacked to 100%?
is that is what is going on?
Yeah but my point is that it’s largely irrelevant
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
I don't know why it would be bad to know if you are ahead on your IP amount
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
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
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
How does it change what you do in scenario A?
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?
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
So you talking about a scenario B, right?
No? Because I'm sending it all the same
So scenario A
Half of scenario A
I am sending it to dump rage, but it does matter to me how "well covered" i am
Tanks and healers got more responsebility and that jazz. Same old same old, and DPS are 3 in their role and as such can more often 'fail'. It is a lot more chill.
(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
That's true, yeah.
Still, even in games like overwatch or heroes of the storm or...pokemon unite
people still mostly just pick dps over tank or healer. It got so bad in overwatch, they had to force people to pick tanks and healers, which then forced the entire community to endure queue times
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
I've stated multiple times that it is not for the purpose of pooling, just so I know if I can count on having extra HP or not
It's a visual indicator
My point, knowing doesnt change anything choice wise
its just information for informations sake
It does though
Also you'll be surprised how much just tracking your IP will make you press IP more (unnecessarily)
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%
I treat it like an extension to my hp bar in regards to using defensives, calling for an external, kiting, whatev
is this route bad https://threechest.io?id=eBLlubfMUvk

In PSF first boss for example IP dissapears so fast because of the bleed
If I dont have any IP and I'm low on HP I know I'm in trouble
if youre low HP and you dont have any IP, you will die regardless
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
no your healer would absolutely notice if you never press it; it does a lot to chip away at damage taken over time
overall sure
But it only makes a functional difference to survival in the immediate timeframe if you have literally no defensive CDs
but not in a specific window in time
I never notice when warriors don’t press ip
I notice a lot while healing
I sure as hell notice when they don’t press shield block
I love how we went from one extreme to another
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?
We only deal absolutes
fair enuff
I literally can't think of a single scenario in which your IP status matters for surviving anything
Healer attention on the tank depends on mechanics/damage profiles
IP status? I can see it matter. You tracking it? Not at all.
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
The only time I recall Sense even doing anything on a high key for similar is when literally out of defensives on first boss priory last season, when the bleed was stronger, where he opted out of normal IP usage to fluff more into IP over that time period
Why is it bad to know if you are at 40% HP or 70% HP though
Because the boss eventually goes long enough that there's defensive gaps
but anything more than just using it as a rage dump? I can't see it being useful anywhere
what are you going to do with that information
are you going to not press shield wall and just waste a defensive?
if you're at the point where oh shit I need to pump IP you're already in a losing battle
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
On top of that, IP is a partial absorb that only takes part of the damage
It's not in detail, its just a bar
Big momma maybe
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
🤷♂️
Thats kinda the same
I don't make any real decisions around it; it's just default on elv ui
I just have an icon telling me if it’s up
See, the difference is that I don't ever look there
I don't even know if it's up if I'm at full HP or close to full
You can literally think of it as an extra portion of your hp bar
If I ever hit a point where I care about having a stocked IP
i just fucking press the button twice
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
I mean if he says he's not pressing IP just to keep it juiced then it's whatever ig
Again, it doesnt change your IP pressing
I am glad that ppl seem to get it, it is an A or B scenario
Expected more trolling
Ya ppl grew up
Because that is given by the rotation
Hold on I got you
but if it doesn't change your decision making it's just UI bloat
Do we need drama? I can cook up some controversial take for us to argue over
but I highly doubt anyone who has an IP bar doesn't subconsciously press it more because of it
that was my point
its information that's misleading
We will zug him into submission
All protection warriors will be the same or they will be shamed outcast!
by all intents and purposes punish is more valuable than IP, if seen in a vaccuum, of course those work together all of the time
Sometimes I press defensives if I'm in a bad situation HP wise and/or heal is having issues
youre playing reactively
Please press defencives before that happens
and you shouldnt
I beg
I rather pre-press when the damage comes
thats the BDK muscle memory kicking in
But sometimes you are unexpectedly in a bad situation
Nothing in WoW is unexpected
Last stand helps in that moment
it really doesnt
I dunno if I am in a situation where my hp is low and I don’t have pot or victory up then we have already irrevocably fucked it up
Ok, guys, my troll radar
last stand should just get deleted
I don't think he's trolling just cause you don't agree with him
Yeah
Ya sure Yam? 
These things you kinda just figure out with experience but seems like it makes sense early on
you know what helps in those cases? BSV
nucleus
etc etc
last stand is not even on the same plane of existence as any of those
I don't even think what im saying is THAT controversial honestly
relic of the past, needs to be buried
Needs to be buffed, you mean
Last Stand should be the cheat death
and you cant change my mind
ok well yeah that would work
its called LAST STAND
last stand is best used when you're gathering imo
smooths things out a bit for the healer to get in position and set up
on scawy pulls
I need to use it more
it's off cd like 90% of the time
your oh shit button aside from BSV and nucleus is drum roll... Invigorating Healing Potion + Healthstone
and impending victory
I can't decide on if i should switch out champion reshi feet for mythic feet with mastery on it
any ideas?
honestly, thats why its dead last
yes ultra swap em
So now we have moved on to say LE is useless?
Do we have any numbers on reshi feet's impact on cloak's uptime? is it considerable at all?
The heck is LE
last epoch?
not consderable
Autocorrect's LS
Last Stand is pretty grim down irrelevant, ye
yes we've moved on to that, every warrior that has played the class long enough agrees
LS is taken cuz it’s on the path to thunderlord smh
LS place in time was when the tank busters actually hit for more than your health pool, of EHP purposes
Yeah, that I agree with
Actually EHP = HP * 1/DR
HP has infinitely less value than DR
They multiply off one another
well no it's not the same
what
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
Yeah, but if you are at 20% HP and press wall you are at 40% ehp. Same as if you use LS
Except no because with LS you're not mitigating anything
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
LS can save you in a pinch. Ideally you shouldnt be in such a situation but shit happens and it's just 1 more tool
nim's getting heated
like we're never gonna justify your opinion Nephtus
if you think its worth it, then thats fine
IDK why weve gone to complain that a tool is useless just because it's less useful than other tools
Such absolutist takes
Idk
because we see it mathematically, and its not useful
It's just A tool, also please save the ad hominems
nobody is insulting you
who used an ad hominem
so where are these ad hominems?
I am glad I came back, it actually gotten worse and started to reach into unhinged

go on
I mean
The making it about it being my opinion when we are all obviously chiming in
Would you mind stating what my wrong opinion is?
you like it
its an opinion
Guys did you know they removed spellblock
Is Warrior bad now all we have is last stand and no spell block
I mean
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
because DR scales with damage
HP doesnt
also DR is the first in line for damage checks
If you are at 20% HP and some damage is about to take 30% of said HP, LS brungs you to 40% HP, and you survive with 10% HP.
If you are at 20% HP and some damage is about to take 30% of said HP, and you press wall, you are left at 5% HP.
?
if youre gonna make a comparison, at the very least have a defined value in common
youre seem upset
oof
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
Kinda like this?
Which has more value at lower health percentages. Additionally, which has more value at lower health percentages based on repeatable scenarios.
also those two situations are entirely different
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
LS is a dodgy example since it heals you
I mean, come on, in what world isnt there only 1 damage event, and the heal isnt the game changer?
You're being saved by the heal, not the 30% extra health
You guys just dont get the raw power and value
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
I'm still waiting to hear what this supposed opinion I have that is wrong is
Oh, on that point Nim still stands strong
He's just saying no one's gonna say anything that validates your point for you
since we all disagree
You just win in your 1 instance scenario in that exact situation
Also, Rat is wrong by default
it only wins cause it's a 30% heal tho
He said it clearly, i have an opinion and it is wrong
I want to know what opinion it is
if it didn't have the heal, it'd just bring you to 28% hp to just die
Nah, I am just saying a solid case was made to change my mind
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
which goes back to
dead without the heal btw
Im still waiting
Who?
Neph
5 mil vs 6.4 mil health pot
and wrong
btw
but he isnt bannable
Why? I asked a question and you are not answering, you are going on a rant
I may as wel not be here
i think its fine if they have an opinion
Your opinion that IP is worth tracking and EHP is equivalent to DR
is what he's referring to, I assume
Also im asking nim and yam is chipping in non stop in bad faith imo
jesus
Nah, Yam, we moved away from the original point a long time ago
Yeah
i just outlined why its wrong
We on this exact scenario
And Nim is wrong in this one
so Neph wins all above by default
/abandon
Heck yeah! Debate bro strats!
Spell reflect is still a pretty sizeable magic DR + Defensive stance + 2 charges of shield wall + ignore pain works on magic dmg
what have I said that's in bad faith
This is my point btw, i dont think LS is useless i think it's just less useful
no no
See, we can make up a scenario where it got a usecase
Right here you implied LS is the same as SW
Guys, have you heard about stamina enchants and trinkies?
and then gave a specific case in which LS "wins"
I heard they really strong
Which is only by virtue of it healing you
I know that, I’m just a registered shitter
EHP = HP * 1/DR
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
You are actually kinda weird and dumb, if I must say so. Cause I talked to Nome, and he agreed with Neph
So you are outgunned
cat is having a field day
But to get back to the original point
Nim said DR > EHP
you "corrected" him by saying EHP = HP + 1/DR
Go on Yam hard, Neph! I support you!
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
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.
especially in a live ingame scenario
it was extremely evident i was talking about LS's place in the EHP discussions of old
See, in this case it is evident that LS got infinite value
but in case that wasnt particularly clear, i did explain it after
Optimally, SW is used to prevent damage, not in a situation where you are almost dead
Oh, are we going back to why IP tracking doesnt matter, cause how it works in action?
And in an ideal world I agree you shouldnt have to press LS
okay but my issue is this
I do love myself a nice circle
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
You are moving the goalpost tho
I'm not tho
you are tho, please stop being like that. It is a bad look, Neph clearly said what he said previously.
wall is 40% is almost equivalent to a double your health ehp, LS is really weak
I'm going to find you in world of warcraft and gank you
its also a very very very very niche case in a vacuum, because any hit after the fact will probably just murder you given that no other mit exists
Implying what?

Donald agrees, Yam and Nim is totally out on the wildest of moonrides
What? No. Don't force people to agree with you 'cause you're wrong lol.
You can get to X EHP by any combination of Y + 1/Z
You've been ranting against some imaginary opinion that is not even mine, which is why i asked specifically what you thought my opinion was
ok then why are we upset
Because we are going nowhere
we dont need to lol
Not upset though
I love a good discussion
I prefer 1 on 1 over x on 1 though because it's harder to convey the point when many people echo your words
Nah, we all agree that:
- LS is better than nothing
- LS can save you in very spesific scenarios
And your point stands strong
LS is trash.
Nim and Yam is just haters
Unironically
Yeah, LS is a fellow racoon. Love us some trash
Impeding victory > LS
Hard agree
Oh no, we reaching the point where it all falls apart.... cause Neph starts to come to agreement that "my point was pointless" that was Nim's point 30 min ago?

But I still press LS on gathering, just to use it
Seems like a reasonable choice
See another reinforcing point!
IV>Getting backshots>LS
Hell yeah \o/
- Nim says DR >>> EHP
- 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
Mathematically, EHP is literally that, no?
I didn’t follow all your talk tbf, I just popped now
Is there any reason to have whirlwind or smash on my bar?
Like, the other equation is wrong
All you need to know, Happy. Is Neph is on a roll vs Yam/Nim combo
Sure. but 10m EHP isn't necessarily the same as another player's 10m EHP
And one of those 10m EHPs can be significantly weaker
Well I was being snarky
it's a bad metric
And accurate, and i thought maybe a slightly bit funny, by including the "sir"?
Only if you play meme spec; like 2hand Prot.
but if you playing standard, no - not at all 
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
Nah, cause without the HP, you be dead, and the %DR after that point is irrelevant
Yam stop moving the goalpost
no, you never use that or slam, you can also unbind rend because thunderclap applies it
Thats because you are including another metric which is healing
Thanks peeps
there's no healing in what I said
Argument was surviving that single hit, ya starting to put into more elements
that is a no-go
nah fam
stop
in a single hit it works
But tbf what makes it bad for me, it’s the cd, for half a wall
because tank busters then needed the extra oomph
Why do you track LS?
Why not both though
SB should always be up
I was referring to shield wall
it doesn't tho, because it's apples to oranges
right
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
Ah sorry got confused with the word blocking
Well, we are talking kiwis, stop trying to change the topic
Wall is 70% more virtual health
I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean here
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
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
Defend the attacked shit
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
EHP tells you how much damage would kill you without getting healed
DR helps increase that number
Getting more health helps too
Yes but the amount is really really small for a 1min 30 cd
The thing is, in real scenarios you are getting healed
LS doesnt affect the incoming heals
You can have a 99.999% parry chance and have an absurdly large EHP number because 1/100000 hits will be dodged
If I told you this all started with Neph arguing tracking IP value as very informative and productive, would you believe me?
but then fall over
It is informative since it gives information technically 
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
I feel like that's a bit of an exageration, I just find it useful to know if my HP bar has big buffer or tiny buffer
But it’s more indicative he cares too much about IP / not understand we are a DR tank
ding ding ding
i feel like
Yes full circle
Kinda
there's also a weird feeling like HP somehow synergizes well with our kit
Nah, it's just that one of our jobs is not letting it hit 0 haha
but that case wont ever happen given our defensive use
That's not true, because sometimes it's out of our control
Bad healer, dps not kicking/stopping, etc
Would you say it’s helpful/important to switch from nelf to dwarf this season for higher keys?
Not at all, if you are at the level where you got to ask
o7
Shouldn't happen, sure. But not wont ever happen
For the speed gem ?
I prefer bad healers because I get better heal parses
actually no wait
it's good healers that let me do that
I know you are being disingenuous, but a stam gem is worse than a regular stat gem regardless of healer
Sarcastic*
sarcasm is disingenuous
I need to relook what disingenuous means I feel
That point is not wrong, just unrelated
insincere
See, me and Nepth equally stand in the same camp of being technically correct
Hellyeah!
big words pls small words
Best kind of correct lol
I guess I could have simply realised sooner why LS is stronger in that case
Man today was a productive day, Nim was proven wrong. Yam had to concede. Roid gave up.
instead of debating
Hell yeah
- insert Futurama gif *
I won
Yeah I rechecked, it says Fourbe in French, so it explains why I don’t see sarcasm as disingenuous
We all won and grew closer together
Yeah fourbe isn't disingenuous
Yeah fourbe is vile deceitful
Interesting, I didnt know that word
And kinda old French / not common used word
Happy is French
So we should trust him
Or maybe he’s not French. But he knows French
Which is more French than us.
Some day ill finally get to build a speed set for farming legacy raids
I looked it up once, thought "damn, that looks like a lot of work" and never went back to it
double leap legendary
okay here's a good example
One day
Prot warrs must have been a menace in that season's rated warsong gulch
from full hp (10m)
one 5m hit =
SW = 7m hp left
LS = 8m hp left
taking two 5m hits:
SW = 4m hp left
LS = 3m hp left
three:
SW = 1m hp left
LS = -2m hp left
and so on

LS wins again
also I might have got that SW backwards
You have 4 million left with shield wall after the 2 hits no ?
First one, 5*2*.6 is 4m left no?
sec boys I put the formula in wrong and didn't think
From full HP 140% EHP is better than 120% EHP
Is the HP from LS removed when it ends in retail?
I fixeded it
added singular hit too
even if SW was 30%, it'd still be stronger than raw EHP from flat health
LS might let you take 1 hit more effectively but the moment you get hit more than once it's ogre
and that's all I was tryin to say really
LS is only good if you are low HP when you use it
But a tankbuster is more like 30million
feels like we're going around in circles here
We are all mostly agreeing though I think
x)
I track IP because I installed luxthos in S1 and never deleted it
And I never updated it btw
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.
No ducking way you guys still going on about LS and IP 
Let’s real talk funky stuff, when OF on prot ?
uhm
Dont look at me
Bring logs to #1347646810457636974 or we don't know what is going on
Will do TY!
Gl mate
What are the contexts of your spikes
Wowhead guide is kinda the starting point here, idk how the maxroll guide compares
Pretty similar tbf
idk I use the execute build and nothing hurts in 11s
he's prob getting punched in the butt
Yeah I don’t go into execute talents
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
it's fun!
Luerce are you schizoposting
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
You are missing the aoe interrupt
And rage from your autos
I think the aoe kick is incredibly useful in m+
use the wowhead weekly build
and if you need BSV
swap massacre for it
thats it
Btw I did few dungeons with the nailed shield talent, it still stinks
If he wants to push:
CkEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAkBAAAgxMmZmZmZMbmZWGMGjGzyYGGLjZmhtZmxMwwAAAAAAALjBAmxGgB2glFjGzAYWCzGMzA
This has been awesome, thank you!
dont use that build
I wouldn't use the push build below 15s tbh
youre not doing push keys
use the weekly build
and swap massacre for BSV if you need it
It's great for passive threat gen while gathering, and on giga pulls it does around 5%
Pretty good for what it is 
Thank you sir!
if BSV is saving you before that point you're kinda just playing bad
it's comfy tho
The threat is indeed very good, but like you say you need gigantic amount of trashs hitting you
Plan your builds around never making mistakes and then simply never make mistakes 
Or gnolls with stacking aa speed or giga haste values 
I can't decide, watch some movie or something or go suffer on my rogue in pugs
🍿 movie 🍿
All thrice
Go watch Weapons.
is it streamable yet
rent or buy
