it's better to just slowly go and thunderclap as you go rather than go as fast as possible
I make sure to hit every mob on the way to the bridge
you lose a few seconds by being slow but you save your randoms from getting themselves killed
I just do it plitted :/ down the stairs up to the platform and trying to cath the first caster
it's fine but it desyncs lust/cds
Running 10 at the moment
since they added those poison spiders, you kinda gotta get threat since the healer will be having to heal people during the gather
So it's fine
yea 10s are chill just W key 
i guess you could also do this (chaining the caster pat as it paths close) and send BL+CDs even before miniboss
never tried it though
My brain is just like
if you're gonna do that why not just send it and take the mini too
as pwar you can just aoe kick the casters and get everything right under the mini ezpz
it's 2 less casters (1 caster + miniboss), so almost no casts. Also, pull is big enough you don't feel bad by sending BL
there is 1 caster in patrol
but yeah
I'm not the best player, doing as I can with the people I have "helping" me ^^
You get the PUGs you deserve π
and shockwave barrages
when im saving kick for shrill and i'm out of stuns but i see a spider full channeling barrage
classic
it's just a shit dungeon
if any dungeon needed caster adjustments like hoa got, it's this
the patrols on the platform after first boss are obnoxious too
i personally hate patrols
I mean, why put all of this on the tank ? there are 3 people that can manage kick ... you put all on 1 player, and then if he misses the slightest it's a shitstorm
I'm excluding healer because he has other priorities π
Yeah same, the only time I notice them is when they're in an awkward spot and it delays my route by like 5-10 seconds
The more people that have responsibility the more likely it'll be a shitshow imo
that 1 patrol in the last room in priory is so zzz
but if it's on one of the corners you need to wait
It depends for everyone I guess π
eh you just kill the solo mage pack and wait in that case
makes the double pull easier
unless you pull em with miniboss? but i think that's ilegal

most people have someone CC the far attendant
like Poly, repent, imprison whatever
so its only 1 caster and mini boss
had someone do that in my pug and I gotta say it's fuckin awful
without a dk and with clueless puggers it just leaves it there casting for an eternity when you chain into pull 2
it slowed everything down so bad
ig I'm privileged tho cause I mostly play wow with 1-2 other people so the 2-3 puggers just have to deal with the remaining mechanics
well, you dont even pull it
you just cc, leave it there
and never do it
this is just so not optimal
oh that makes sense xdd
Yeah no, that attendant is close enough that virtually every pug is going to break the cc or at the very least get in combat with it
yeah that's what happened in mine
it got broken near the end of the pull
it was such a grief
What I do in my pugs is usually DH cage it, then usually at the end of pull dh cage goes down and he patrols down and we go past him
rarely fails in my pugs idk
and, quite frankly, if we are worred about CC breaking or something... key is prob not high enough to actually need to do that pull
just split in two
or we can do all 3 casters
theres no reason to brick the key on the first pull
it's ez
I just don't do the miniboss pull at the start. Optimal or not. It's the same nonsense as the workshop first pull. It's unnecessary to time the key and has a very high failure rate.
Let the high key people worry about that kind of pull
anything 15 and lower
well mechagon had a pretty lenient timer
you really dont need to do it
I mean low keys you can just go around and pull anything that moves and still time it with time to spare
yeah and 15s and up pugs should be able to handle 3 casters
this pull is not optimal for a reason
people blast all CDs first pull on mobs that dont do anyything
of course its not optimal
then they have to do miniboss+ 2 casters
but its either that, or wipe to the big pull
without BL/CDs
weve all seen it
I'd rather wipe first pull and get it over with
If you need to do it on later keys I would just brute force it, it isnt that hard, just sap G11 and the first pull is ez
rather than lose time like that
it just depends on key level
you doing a weekly 12
split in 2
doing a 16, people should know what to do
Frankly it's not the casters that are the failure point in most pugs. It's just people wanting to start attacking shit well before they should
That's why I stop at bridge
and throw a few TB/TC
then I proceed
I just clap the mobs as I go and even throw a troar just before the bridge
to hit the fliers that for some reason don't social aggro properly
Yeah except then everyone assumes you're stopping there and there are still mobs coming in from up top, and then you end up having to stay there anyway
I dont like taking fliers
fliers are a reason people die
cus of the bleed
and we talking abt this and I get invited to arakara
smh
then as I cross the bridge I throw a rally while gathering the lil guys
then I walk up to double caster, aoe kick
then mini
worked every time so far
yeah, i've had that happen
I would love for us to have an actual not shit speed pot again
yeah that's why I make sure to not stop moving
yeah id love to have a good speed pot
i just make sure to communicate before starting
but i do more or less this: #protection message
BFA speed pot or bust
Skystep potion my beloved
man what these people
I actually think the third miniboss is the hardest
Join a group and instantly say I got a friend
and when u dont invite their friend they leave
just duo q atp wtf
shady strats to bypass rio/ilvl/whatever check
Thing is this shit dont work in higher keys
Like atp im playing with the same 50 or so players everyday
720>710
Overvaluing a defensive cantrip, couldn't be skyhold
I got the hero boots on my rogue 
as much as 720 > 710, i'd definitely prioritize replacing other low ilvl slots rather than boots, if I already had the heroic cantrip ones
Pretty low
like 4.5m to 5.5m on avg
some 6m highrolls, but no monk (8-10m) situations
this is a pretty standard Tome farm run
If you go higher keys, dps increases
tbh they need to entirely rework BDK
Luckilly DPS expontentially increases their value 
I dont see it becoming meta any time soon
BDK just need DS to not work as clunky as it does now with Vampiric Strike
Also, remove the DS nerf
BDK needs some TLC
And buff Will of the Necro to 70% to stop oneshots
it can be pretty miserable to play
at least, when I compare it to my Prot Pal and Prot War
Few thing is as misserable as BDK, as when someoen AoE stuns all, and you cant move to stagger
Death tolls for thee, Death Knight
hopfully in midnight they look at BDK
but my worry is they are just gonna target FDK and Unholy for some nerfs
At least remove the DS consumes the dam taken portion of the kit
honestly, both those specs are little indestructable
ruins the most fun part of it
Fdk is fun af
I agree
Who cares about FDK?
but both are way too tanky for DPS
Nerfs? Hell nah. Blizzard aint leaving DKs without atleast 1 meta spec
I took my pos low level fdk out to try and ended up gearing it out.
I just want QoL changes, BDK as is, is fine
stop the oneshot (will buff) and return the fun high dopamine gameplay minmax
And we guchi
Who cares about BDK?

leave my FDK homies alone
I just like how spammy it is. But im goin back into my prot war brain.
tbh it's odd that BDK isn't gaining more track this season, DS is usually busted when we reach end patch stats
Cause they ruined Death Strike
thats not how that works
Also, it's being way overshadowed by other tanks
then we get an end of the expansion DS nerf, into shit expansion start with DS nerfed
so that's another reason
Bdk needs a couple of things to be awesome. Mainly a charge ability. A shield for offhand and battle shout.
i swear it feels like i've lived through this on 3 separate occasions
prob not
the last time BDK was the meta M+ tank was because of way overtuned tier set
in S3 of SL
but theres nothing that ties Death Strike healing to gear
I have a 704 weapon and shield. Should I craft a 720 weapon or shield first? For M+
shield first
shield
Shield
Ty
but yes do both
but also, tomorrow is reset
soooo
you could wait a day
see if vault gods are good
especially if you dont get or have access to myth tracks
but
Good point
Iβll wait
im like 78% sure hes NA
Yes NA lol

you guys are on the wee hours or whatever
avoiding being productive
speak for yourself, i already finished most of my work for the day

I have to make hard phone calls
today sucks already
except the million meetings i have
hi! why do guides show mastery ring from raid is bis? didn't think we'd want any mastery
because the bis set is just that... a "set", it needs every piece in it to be considered, otherwise you sim
and mastery isnt bad
its last in prio, but still very good for us
all secondaries are
simming for tanks work fine? do we sim dungeon route?
we sim like a dps
tank simming is simming only dps
but higher dps usually = higher survivability
the only thing you dont really sim are Shields and pure defensive trinkets like Mud, for example
everything else you throw into the clanker
appreciate it, ty guys
but shields youre using ilvl > all anyway
thats the most alliance character I've ever seen
5set new meta?
Ima make him a blood elf in Midnight

we need new pantaloons
I just got the hands yesterday in a Mythic pug
Don't shit on minions !
If you had minions crocs on your paladin you'll be happy !
granted I did just sell mythic boe boots for 750k
π₯³
Mythic BoEs exist? 
fdk bis stats i think
how much does an arm and a leg cost nowadays?
They have random stats though
hope for good random stats
ah, the most expensive ones i think
probably 2 kidneys
there is distinct lack of mastery/crit rings/necks this tier
crit mastery i think? can't remember
I mean admittedly we did get one ring, like a week before you could trade them 
man i dont wanna go to silkroad to find out the price of a BOE ring π
prob 5-6 mill
100%
Absolutely
here you go: https://www.wowpay2win.com
1000%
I mean if you get a BOE Myth, it means you are running Myth raid and have more chance to get one from vault/loot sooooo
id sell it, buy it again, just to sell it a second time
but yeah i would sell, fuck it
if u keep a boe u get or buy boes u are just dumb
π€
Massive true
after this reset
would you take a myth ring or β¬250 in blizz cash
my war crafts are a little behind
since we sent on wep and shield
and replaced them
Oof
heresy
Is fury the prot retirement home
i did 2h into bracers for fury first
straight into carpal tunnel territory
so 4th spark was shield for me since ive been unlucky and cant open vaults with prot
although i guess prot has more APM currently?
nope
I can already heal up to 12s on my cool resto shaman
I tried Arms again on ?? Kyβveza and wooooooo was I rusty
like spirits for shadow count as a cast
but like, how many buttons are you actually pressing a minute
No way fury has higher APM than Prot right?
yeah 80s sounds about right
W/ all the oGCD rage dumping we have to do
its similar
they prob in the same ballpark
both are high APM classes
prot pally too
yea, Prot Paladin pressing lots of buttons
Switching my oGCD mit to mouse wheel scrolling is the best QoL thing Iβve done for myself, wish I knew to do that before my grind lol
It feels sane to play again
π€·ββοΈ
R and F work just fine for me
and like ghash mentioned
i like having camera control
Flipped for me but yeah
no
I'm curious, how are you binds ? :x I mean you move ZQSD (sorry ZASD for the US), using the keys around, first digits 1 to or 5 and then with Shift, Ctrl ?
this is seriosuly banned
there is no embracing, youre doing it wrong if you do that
ZASD? π
all you'd need to do after that is just macro Shield Wall and LS as well, for optimal uptime
from the creators of the 1 button rotation
W π my bad
Iβm calling a wellness check on you @fathom oasis
SS 1, TC/TB 2, Revenge 3, SB 4, Execute 5, taunt 6, IP E
With an mmo mouse
So cozy comfy
Iβm a weirdo I have all my base keys on letters and I use 1-4 and shift 1-4 for cooldowns
i dont use an mmo mouse
my oGCDs are on X,C and my generators are on Q,E. Send help pls
but 3-4-5-R-F are prime real estate for skills i use a lot
C is interrupt
mouse button for interrupt here
I have charge on R because itβs been there for me since 2005
3-4 and shift 3-4 is prime spots
5 is a bit out of the way, and perfect for execute
Given how much class pruning is coming in Midnight I may use leveling to re-do my binds somewhat substantially
I'm trying to! clicking too much :x
i wonder how high you could get your apm by using your mouse, exclusively
Wait you guys are clicking?
/cast Avatar
Or i need to change keyboard because I'm hitting caps lock when trying to shift ...
no i type it out
Keep pinky resting on shift?
ASDF
rebind strafe to A and D
I use a rockband drum set
I wonder how ridiculous typing out abilities would be
thats it
for my rotation
Like imagine just doing a single boss and typing out all of your casts and uses
it's not easy to fetch them from the book you know ... (that is a joke)
i need an MDI-style competition where competitors are only allowed to type out their spells
I was on my dk and my click casting wasnt working so i had to spellbook 2 bresses
I dont think they be able to complete a dungeon
one spelling mistake and you lose one of your 5 second GCDs
XD
just have your most used skill* saved to your clipboard
windows key + V is so good
interrupts would be non existent
best thing to come out of Win11
Whatβs the easiest boss in the pool this season
what, that's present on W10
For the entire group
Halkias
also the one thing i miss on my linux/mac rigs

oh yeah youre right

So do all of Halls normally with the single caveat being that you must do Halkias with all casts and uses typed out
Wait a second
Could you do it
You can disable the windows popup w/ the windows key canβt you
guy has some typing skills
I literally never thought to use that button I thought you were messing
I need to level my hunter
what
its perfectly alligns with my current skill level
Windows key + V is universal clipboard
which is fucking great
just press it
right now
yes
The hell is this???
Would it break my game because rn if I go to my appearances window my game freaks out. Universal Clipboard sounds potentially disastrous
Win+V has saved my ass plenty of times
it is so good
Literally never knew about this
type first time pass from pass manager > forget to save it > overwrite it pasting something else > panic
it does create some issues where sensitive data that goes through the clipboard stays there for longer than you might want
I use threat plates for frames, the target frames appear over the mobs. Are there any addons that will arrange the enemy plates into a grid, similar to a healer's raid frames?
What problem are you trying to solve w/ this particular solution
I donβt think an addon like that exists and if it does I donβt think Iβve ever seen anyone good use it in streams or VODs
no, ffxiv style frames were banned from the game
Yeah thatβs what came to mind for me too
if there is a solution, blizzard is actively working against it
so i advice to not look into this
My guess is you're trying to solve nameplate clutter and trying to click around to make sure you're interrupting / stunning the right targets or whatever
the best you can do is use boss frames, but not for trash
there are more effective ways to accomplish that then by trying to click through nameplate clutter
I think most of us use plater or something like that because you can have the enemy nameplates to change color based on what theyβre aggroed to. Like you or another tank or a non-tank
I just want something in a predictable place to make interrupts easier
namely knowing who your main target is and using a focus target
Yep you want to solve that through picking your main target as you pull and using focus targets
its not an issue when there are only 2 targets, but when there are many it gets difficult
weirdly enough the UI not letting you do that is actually teaching you how to approach the game better
you *generally shouldn't be pulling more than 2 targets that NEED to be kicked and if you are you should be in a coordinated group where you can communicate that stuff
in any case, if there are no addons it is a moot point
yeah but as soon as you asked I figured I knew what problem you were trying to solve and that's the bigger issue
my #1 lesson in pugging to 3k this season was that our job is much less about surviving tank damage and much more about understanding how to manipulate packs w/ casters and archers into the free melee mobs
and knowing that you really only want to pull 2 at most (at least for pugging) helped me a shitton
It helped me understand why the routes are how they are too, it's not just "mob health efficiency"
if its for this specific reason, bind focus target, and have your kick be a focus cast
you can pug well into 3k without even using focus targets but marking the second caster for your dps to interrupt
and/or use a kick macro with focus target kick as default and a mod for non-focus kick
any combination of that helps a lot
Yeah
We don't have the CDs to support bouncing around trying to interrupt 6 different guys anyway
I had the same frustration as you @past summit so I get it, and nameplate clutter still drives me crazy, but it's actually not the problem it seems like
How much more difficult is H Dimmy over the normal version
I think weβre gonna extend since we killed Saladbar on Tuesday so we can just push for aotc but Iβm wondering how likely it is we will have time after killing him for extra activities
If we donβt extend we would just do the skip. They have no desire to rekill most bosses outside of the spider
well they should
Even though they claim they enjoy wow they try to play it as little as possible
heroic dimmy is a step up in diffy
but largely the same
most notably intermission and p2 changes
P1 is the same?
that i recall yes
well
no, actually there's no poop drops in normal
so all phases have something new
Perfect
We never did missiles right on Saladbar
We killed because the bdk and I could live
So this should go swimmingly lol
poop drops and prepositioning in p1, the adds and frontals/miniboss circle in transition, and the tank pulls in p2
i think thats about it
maybe im wrong about intermission
and that was largely the same
idk
Send good vibes for my sanity tomorrow
i wish i could but it sounds like you guys are fucked
especially if not farming gear for it
Our βgroup composition ilvlβ is 710
has anyone else tried to play VDH but struggled to transpose the Prot mitigation kit onto it
Im meh on VDH this patch
what do you mean by transpose
Spike = block, and so on
just put demon spikes on your shield block bind yes
yeah like that, I get that with spikes it's the other buttons I feel less certain I'm getting right
is metamorph closer to shield wall or last stand
its stronger than LS
way stronger
so it can be a wall
but brand is a better wall
Do you not send meta almost on cd and plan around it
I would think you rarely would want to sit on it
when i say brand i mean fiery brand
also there's a lot more emphasys on stacking frailty
than punish for us
super important to do so as vdh
you ideally dont sit on it for too long
you can plan pulls around your meta timing
yup
I assumed so
the thing to get used to about VDH is that they dont really have the same number of CDs as a Prot War
its basicaly fiery brand, fel dev, meta
i mean they do
immo aura is MDR
there is slightly more reliance on having spikes + frailty up sure
but available at all times, youre right
since cdr is scarse, if it exists
I think it's frailty that my prot brain is having hte most trouble trusting
like I see the number, number look good, but because I'm not really pressing mit button per se it's spooky
shouldnt be, cause youre already stacking punish as warrior
bro code tells me I'm obligated to out myself here I have no idea what Punish is
and frailty is just something that happens from shear + SoF amongst others, just tunnel what hits you hardest
put it in your talents search
When shieldslam enemy, they go OUCHIE! They dont want that! So they flinch while trying to hit you. Effect stacks
Nop, effect stacks
okay yah taht's how I've been treating it
well, stacking is the wrong word, per se. It stacks and overlap, but dont extend
"cool it makes bosses hit me a little less hard"
I mean like if I'm in a group of melee should I be trying to spread it around, it hasn't mattered yet really
feels more like a single target mitigator
yea, as long as your pressing SS on CD
dont think about it
theres not much else to think about
it is just there
great
yeah by comparison frailty feels a lot more relevant to how to understand VDH
and why it lives in big pulls
so, with VDH the biggest thing to be concerned with is soul gen and soul abosorbtion
in AoE
and for whatever reason my brain understands "you take 20% less damage from all sources" more than "enemies deal 20% less damage to you"
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
in ST Frality is more important
π€£ see this is why I'm all jacked up
nah frailty is important in both
you have more than enough tools to spread frailty in aoe
But be mindful of prio targetting, because frailty does get more stacks on whatever you're targetting
And of course, get the funnel right as reaver
What is this stinky dh talk
Whatever you glaive should always be the prio target and should never be some little critter that's about to die, and you always go fracture into shear soul cleave after for the brrr combo
At least this season due to tier
Yep got that down, I would be willing to bet all my problems on other tanks have actually come down to not having a good understanding of how to pull and manage proper group sizes and caster quantity
prot I actually understood well enough to learn that piece so now coming in other tanks I have better context to play them with
Fracture into Soul Cleave

I miss all the haste on my main warr π actually have to think about when to smash active mit button on [redacted other toons]
oh jesus that's an old message
why does discord just not scroll to the latest
:0
I should post my keybinds
How get blizz to buff pwar even though they are fine like they did for bm hunters?
So we need to have yodar not touch pwar anymore. Idk how such things can be done
yoda touching pwar will help our case in getting buffed
Looks good, ive always played mmo mouse so i dont use that many keyboard binds
How big are your hands to be pushing shift 6
Never tried mmo mouse. I always as afraid to press 2 keys at once :x
You have like the razer naga? With 10-12 buttons in the side right?
Also alt 5 for avatar is yucky unless ur using a mmo mouse
My naga stopped working, im using corsair scimitar again rn, ive used scimitars for like 10ish years
Naga with the buttons is my favorite. I used corsair but multiple times all my settings memory got reset and it was a pain reconfiguring
The naga feels so good, but it stopped working pretty quick after buying so i didnt want to try another
Ya the software is kinda ass to work with on them
Maybe Iβll give it a try thank you guys
I use V as in aVatar
yeah that's my most regrettable bind
shift+6 is fine for me and I have womanly hands
but I don't press it, that spell isn't even talented this season
alt+6 was awful tho, so I made it alt+e instead
6 bound and alt bindings but no F? π±
I just don't need any more buttons otherwise I'd add alt+qrf in there somewhere
I play with a guy who uses the numpad for camera movement, so he's got two hands on the keyboard and maps half their abilities to 0-9...
Any time i try changing a bind to be better, i always drop back into muscle memory and need to go back. I do ignore pain on 3 and leap on r, i tried putting ignore pain on r like my other tanks but just cant
Tried moving grip from r on my dk and went a whole key wondering why my grip macro wasnt working
unironically, one of the best ways to learn new binds is make a new toon
I dont need more :0
and each time you get a new spell, put them on the new bind you like
well, you just delete after
I already have every class, and duplicates. Dreading legion remix
I think my biggest bind regrets is t for trinkets and y for pots
But i started that in legion
is pacemaker better than astral antenna?
Can sim them both
I think usually antenna is better as long as u arent missing the orbs, but def sim it
thanks
my account is full it wont let me make more toons so, checkmate
is it a tier token or crafting spark on the next reset?
Catalyst next reset
ty
You just have to stick with it
Tbh if i move my ignore pain, ill have so few buttons on my mouse, idk what id do
I did force the change on my pally last season thanks to the tier set tho
i have a 12 button mouse but i only use 6 of them, the other 6 feel super weird to get to
hey stop stealing my keybinds
them's not the same
keybinds, not the same abilities bound to the key
just unsure why you'd keep dead abilities on some
i've been doing lfr, normal, and heroic soul hunters every week and still no boots. should i just craft a pair or is that a waste? lol
no point in removing them if there's nothing else to go in there
a waste, you'll get them eventually
500% a waste
you want ilvl not vet tracks
yeah thats what i figured
wait what
Itβs not a waste to craft boots
it's a waste to spend that time not crafting boots
Itβs a waste to farm reshii boots
huh?

a waste to farm soul hunters boots
I think Nim meant itβs a waste to farm boots instead of craft, not a waste to craft
ohhhh okay, that was confusing
they are a good dps increase for dps roles, but not at anything under hero track
crafted boots > hero reshi boots
damn for real?
Yeah
any ilvl increase is better
the cantrip is a nice bonus but you dont really want to sac ilvl for it
okay cool, so ill just craft boots at reset then, in case i get some
that's the play
3 score away from 3600 sadge
I just timed arak
Blizzard should add 18 minutes to every timer cuz I said so
With 2 mins
AK timer is fine
dont fucking go right (and dont pull bloodguards that dont need to be pulled)
problem solved
we've gone over this
Having a timer is old news, they should get rid of it. And just have it infinte scale until u need bloodlust for every mob

Hard mode TV week 1 experience
@mellow yoke how many times do you press revenge in a key? do u even bother using the proc revenges?
Yk its crazy how much better good players are
On average or arakara?
I just timed 17 halls and I was like damn that felt good
Then I realized I wasted 7,000 rage
Wp noob tank
7000 holy
How do u manage that
Yea literally lmfao
that's like 30% or something
well i know what i did
i was shotcalling for the first time cuz ive started inviting people into discord for keys
and tbh that has made the 17s feel like 14s
like straight up
so i wasnt really looking too much beyond just hitting buttons at my rotation
on average
But alos I wanetd to try this talent
Depends on dungeon
And ngl i know its objectively WORSE, but it feels so much better
how much haste do you have
Im the exact opposite, i think it feels horrible to use that talent lol
ITF should feel fine π€·ββοΈ
Thats what I mean by objectively it should be okay
but its just smthn else to track, which is a bit hard when shotcalling
bleh
this way i could juts forget abt it
Still a ton of wasted rage, spam that IP for me
there's a lot of things that a protwar can do that's objectively worse but feels better, like stacking vers/mastery or taking BSV
as long as the dungeon is timed you do you, boo
But well
Wasted rage equals less shield wall
And avatar
You're a fun sidebuild
Just stuff I gotta work at improving
D'aww, Yam so wholesome lately
took me until this xpac to realize the power of the low haste build
I gotta figure out a different keybind for things, I think some more important things are too far out of my range
Ngl though its fun, going from outlaw rogue to prot war in one month
Lots to press, lots of mistakes to make, lots of fun
huh
outlaw rogue is best rogue
outlaw is way harder
you're on the right path
pwar should feel like a walk in the park
Mmmm
Idk comes easier to me
Rogue in general comes p easy to me
Its my main, Im just playing tank cuz i wanna do more M+
BDK, 100%
vdh sorta boring rotationally
Pwarrior and BDK are polar opposites, so is great for that reason alone
throw glaice fracture soul cleave ggs u mastered the offensive rotation
so much effort gearing a character from s1 tho
675 gear in like 20 min
Just go to all the renown vendors and grab weathered crests
Then craft it
Grab trinkets from siren isles
Do arathi highlands for whatever you can't fill in
nah
I'll carry your dh through a 10 before reset if you need one
Damn 
On another note, being able to call spell reflect
laughing what the fuck is that
Why choose one tank and not do all
thats what happens when you do no damage
also
its very likely priory since you can reflect 2 different bosses
Shield throw thingie and targets
2nd boss ...
imagine getting declined from a 7 when I've done it on 12
clearly
I knew it was halls!
Spell reflect blasts off into infinity on that boss itβs so sick
yup
Iβve finally got my team to just ignore kicks on that boss and I handle all of em solo
Actually crazy how much it does
I knew people were talking abouit spell reflect as this massive time save in higher keys
but ive never had comms in a key before until like an hour ago
and i am sh ocked LOL
im literally a 4th dps
And prot war dmg is already giga
My healer doesnβt want to do halls without pwar because they hate if that boss goes too long
And theyβre big happy when they see all that spell reflect damage cutting the boss kill time down
uhhh proly not til turbo boost, haven't really been playing that much, just sporadically
Did you participate in the fellowship beta? I think that was this past weekend right?
ok ok so soon!
its even more insane how that boss melts with 2 warriors in the group and taunt+reflect on the dps ones
NL last boss SR 
just last boss?
cause all of the bosses were reflectable there, except maybe for the first one
Yeeee the uhhhh channel that water boy did
lol that sounds sick
I'm retiring from healing
These clowns are just getting hit by everything imaginable
I hate low keys
Just heal harder 4head
and getting into groups on my rogue is just absolutely demoralizing
ahh the hall of infusion and nokhud yeah the fun last boss big damage reflect. We actually need this more encounter like this, so spell reflect really shine on boss fight not just for adds.
How about
Its prot warr meta
Every ssn
And other tanks are just inferior
Actually this season is nice
There is much more variation
To anything
Last season wasnt bad with tank variety, people just pay too much attention to the bleeding edge meta
If only there were some data that could tell us whether or not variety was bad
Someone should get on that
Very little
Ok maybe not variety, but viability
Physical comps last season were just so few
For a large majority of people, any tank was fine
Im talking
Big boy keys
Variety
You see some prot pals
Some brews
Hell even a few VDHs every once and then
Last season was VDH or no invite
whats your cd plan for mythic salhadaar 1st phase?
Every tank is viable every season at every level
That hasnβt changed in many years
I mean
Once a βmeta compβ is figured out and decided on, itll be the same as every season
Have you tanked psf 1st boss with PPal last season
When the was the last season a tank didnβt title
1 mistake and it was ggs
Yes
And there were in fact many paladins who did so at very high key levels which means itβs perfectly viable lol
And many of the top tanks couldve done it as pally too, its just teams rolling the absolute best
Thats how meta works
The conversation is dangerous because it just feeds into the already dumb community sentiment that the only thing thatβs viable is meta, which fuels fotm rerolls every season
nope
Itβs a fact that basically every season, every tank is viable, and no tank is necessarily βbetterβ than another in a vacuum.
Itβs the comp interaction that decides what meta is
period
tank pick isnt made because of x and y reason belonging to the tank, they are picked because they synergize
FDK meta? Battle Shout + Skyfury
Ya, and none of the top tanks will play pally if there is a better tank for the comp. Doesnt mean a pally cant do it
sure, we're not saying that at all
I was just arguing viability and he brought up the metrics at the top
It is much harder
It isnβt though
the question "whether a tank can do it or not" is not something thats relevant nowdays, not even in DF
It isnβt harder
Maybe if you got a group
But if u pug
Its borderline impossible
Meta is just the comp people decided to run, not the only viable one
Which brings me back to why those types of conversations just feed that issue
yeah its pointless
Iβm like ultra anti streamer sentiment donβt mind me lol
If you dont go meta you are kind of neglected
people will copy without thought because they think having x, y and z class makes it easier, so "apparent" lack of friction always pulls in decision making
I personally rerolled warr this season
But i went in with the mentality to chase high score
So I just play only warrior
And try to master it
what happens when meta changes?
If this season meta changes ill stick with warr
Since im alr comitted
- no time for other chars
When was bear last meta
df s2
Bear is cool tank
Has anyone had issues taunting H dim? I taunt him as Iβm getting knocked back when dbm says to taunt. Iβm pulling more than double the dps of the other tank yet Iβm not getting agro and at times itβs telling me Iβm too close to taunt which makes no sense to me
Iβm gearing an aug evoker rn, maybe if Iβm bored Iβll push io on it
Just keep all tanks geared, or at least vaulting. Play what u want to later
Logs help here. Also taunt is pointless if you arenβt hitting the boss at the same time. I wait until after I land and position properly to taunt
I cant
I did that S1 but all it did was make me burn out faster cuz alllll I did was tank on 6 chars
I keep 2-3 tanks in the wings and then dick around on Hunter or mage in my spare time
I also just donβt like playing BDK or VDH so Iβm not gonna force myself to
Not with that attitude
And pushing rio
and 4 kids and 2 wives
Multibox six different tanks at the same time easy
oi, i got some issues where i cant see when enemies is buffed by some aura or shit on platers. For instance tacticians rage buff. Any tips on how to get them? I got naows package
If you canβt play VDH and prot warr at the same time youβre bad
Pull and Elon musk and pay some guy to push ro for you
I just dont like VDH
Hm
does Intervene work on the physical portion of Vanquish (big cone frontal on Nexus king)? our comp is not amazing for externals and just wondered if it worked
oi, i got some issues where i cant see when enemies is buffed by some aura or shit on platers. For instance tacticians rage buff. Any tips on how to get them? I got naows package
yes on mythic
its not blockable so i doubt it
I think you should be fine with shield wall and SR?
I use naowhs packagae andsee it fine
Update your stuff
its not for the warrior if the warrior is intervening π
it deflects the whole thing
Jf its still not working after that, find a different plater
Whats the other tank
its a monk, none of which matters as I am sure he can tank it all no problem, was a specific question on intevene
i doubt it will do anything
as u have ot be within 10 yards which your unlikely to be
and a monk should be able to solo it right?

I'm not allowed to play dps because half the tanks in pugs are incompetent as hell
and getting into groups is miserable as always
why u think i tank. i just anggy so go back to tank
i was supposed to dps first tier
and go annoyed by boss 2

because its toxic towards ppl that use it
Thats community issue
im tell u, u are playing with ppl useing no blizzard one buttons
and u have no clue
so it really doesnt matter
Bro
U cant tell me
People at 700+ ilvl
Are doing well below tank damage
And not using OBR
its not it one button
people that do well below tank damage are prob not using OBR, it takes a special kind of not hitting buttons properly
I mean
I dont think any class performs well with it
no one button macro or thing will ever perform at the top
For some with a simpler rotation
The tettles thing isnt something good to go off of
Oh nice
its just shows u dont need to top perfom to do high keys
Take it from me
I just did a 18 halls where i wasted 4500 rage
Im setting records
An improvement from 7000 wasted
can just focus on mechanics and intuprts with one button if u loose like 10% too not wipe a key probably fine
