Should you only need that macro if youre like trying to shot call or in general pay attention to a lot more than your own play?
I think marks and BM both performed well with the one button didn’t they?
Its not like my 15 second kick is a huge thing that i need a one button macro to be able to still do
Don’t really think you should ever need that macro tbh
Thats what im saying, warrior rotation isnt very taxing
It isn’t like what we’re doing is particularly complicated
And its not like warrior has all that much in terms of utility
Hm
just wannt to say this is anyone current i know but this is in the past and literally top io in the past 
yep another awful +12 on my rogue
Just wanted to say, thank you to all masterclass warriors on this Discord. Y'all tips got me to resi 14+ today, and still new to prot.
yep another shit tank
Let’s hear it
makes no sense
i crashed out about last tiers tier set like 40 times
thank god when someone else votes to abandon tho and I get to just not feel bad about dipping
You know I asked a sub rogue if they needed to restealth and they said no
So I guess all rogues don’t need it
yeah sub doesn't care
it wasn't about the restealth
idc if I get to restealth or not
I think it's mostly Assa that loses a shitload of DPS if they don't
(And Outlaw?)
Sub rogue doesnt really get anything from stealth
Outlaw is minor
I dont think outlaw cares as mych
But assa loses a lot
Assa just sucks
he was just pulling like an idiot and chaining without any thought
I didnt do my rogue this season because its just another headache
eh
sin is pretty good
and it's not a ton of damage loss from not getting a restealth
Like the ass pinned messages is a whole novel of bugs
you just spend some time rupturing things like you would halfway through a pull anyway
(if no vanish)
I really struggle in FG somehow, is there any kind soul that can inspect my log and give input ?
I feel like dmg intake is way too high than I last ran and timed it on 16
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/RVfFvMgdjyqKTHkP?fight=last
There are honestly just a lot of classes id rather bring, and not have to worry about any stealths
it's still more dps to chain than to restealth
i mean this
Ya, but try telling that to any of the rogues ive played with
is bad
Depends
If mobs are like
Half health you chain
There's a command for it in the rogue discord.
But if they are about to die its worth letting him restealth
yea of course
but if they're about to die usually sudden demise takes care of that anyway
and "chaining" when the mobs are on like 5% is just griefing anyway
chaining is when you have some mobs at like mid health and they're inconsequential to the next pack being dangerous or not for your group
usually after you've prio'd the scary mobs down
like, if the mobs are chainable and you've waited til they're 5% you've already griefed, is my point
The guy doing that:
WHY DO I HAVE SO MANY DEAD GCDS?! Pwarrior sucks man! 😠
for M+ focused tanking what embelishments are people using?
2x dawn/duskthread
ok ty 🙂
demon
well they are playing with a macro so i doubt they noticed
Does anyone have a weakaura for gloom bite casts? 👀
Had a look on wago and couldn't find one.
The dungeon pack made by causese works
How much time needed to get all the legion weapon appearances?
also yellower
Jaundice
I’m prob gonna buy a name change cuz I thought it was funny but now all my chars have a naming scheme
And I ain’t releveling a damn evoker
But if you don't have the war ones bc you were a dh how much time to get them?
Ew was hoping 2-4 hours
LOOO
nah
for the hidden one it takes 200 world quests and 1000 honorable kills for example
and ofc to get lucky to get it to spawn in the cave
Ohh you have to do the things that used to lock them? Weren't some behind some big grinds/ myrhic raid boss?
cant get the rbg ones in remix cause they skins of mage tower ones
since itll be significantly easier

ye
i dont know if i can force myself to play it
Is the appearance account wide or class? Like I'd you completed the "do thing #1" on your war do you also get appearance for thing #1 on paladin without also doing it on ppal?
Only one I am missing is the Mage Tower one for RBG Wins. I think that was still doable if you had the appearance transmogged or the weapons in your backpack.
yuh
its still doable yes
Luckily that is account wide too.

gzzz jawor
we got 2x glaives and 2x leather boots XD
Let me guess, no Demon Hunter?
fortunately we had two 😄
happy havocs
1 havoc only
All of them are still doable, so long as you unlocked the appearance back then
oh
There is no mission table
oh shit

i just remembered the underlight angler
which probably is stuck in my bank somewhere
i did it guys
I’m just waiting to sneak into sh on my war lol
ive achieved ignore pain
i hit the button
it only took a month to hit the button
but i hit the button
yeah still not good enough
wat
its still not enough is wild
i just don't hit ignore pain enough
all the top logs have that order roughly in ignore pain casts
the top logs?
this is the first time ive had ignore pain as my highest casts by a large margin
Yea
whose top logs
people doin the key faster and better than me
How much you press IP is not as important as when you press IP
You’re still wasting a shitload of rage
I mean i wasted 3000 rage
i dont think it matters when i press it
cuz i can press it more
so like this guy?
It 100% matters when you press it
with this waste?
Because you can rage starve yourself in some scenarios or overcap yourselves in others
yeah basically what roid is saying
what dungeon is that
fk it's beautiful
priory
damn
so idk what to do then, im hitting the button a fuck ton and wasting 3000 rage at this point
do i just push more into revenge
its not about "hitting the button a fuckton"
are you mayhaps pressing it while below 70 rage?
That key in particular I was hitting it pretty much between every gcd
that's bad
Because i was capped on rage pretty much every gcd
keeps you from having revenge available to reset Shield Slam
right but
I made a weakaura
Okay wait hold on lets clarify whats happening here
Granted I did press ip way more than I should lol
is the next gcd gonna rage cap you? (COUGH IS IT SS OR OUTBURST SS COUGH), then press it in between gcd windows
When I say in between gcds, theres still like a 1 second timer between shield slam casts, im just saying its in that .5 seconds
i shall not share the amount of rage i wasted on my last 14 
You just shout the excess at the pugs at the end of the key right
Okay so I have a question, does this mean that I should be hitting revenge a bit more in the rotation
no
it means you press IP when rage >70
^
Okay so I made a weakaura that baisically just pings
so you always have rage pooled for necessary revenges
everytime im above 70 rage
Should be close to 150
In a priory you’ll def have over 100
And everytime I heard that ping (every like 1.5seconds) for like forever, I just pressed it if I had shield block
you can press IP at 60 rage if youre about to outburst an SS
Yea I just wanted to get my rage waste down, but I dont really know
So that aura is going to cause you to miss
that's a good starting point, but ideally you can kinda predict when you are generating too much rage and your SS/TB are ready to go
The higher the key I get, Ive noticed that im generating more and more rage
💯
Because my pulls are basicalyl always 5-7 mobs big
Bc your rage gain and expenditure is going to be faster than the event tick
Not gonna lie I push ip even if I'm at half bc my gives so.much rage
Are midnight Sims and tier lists available yet?
If you wanna use an aura like that I’d recommend setting it to 60
still, if you were pressing IP so much, there is no way you wasted so much rage
maybe while gathering mobs or sth, when you are paying less attention?
post that log
Well it’s easy to see
how many executes are you casting
Just send the log
why not
be kind boys
uhhh
ew
lol
😭
Why ppl skipping that talent
Hold on
I have a reason
Why am i statting into a defensive talent when im never dying
I'm barely proccing bsv
So what
The answer is that its not a rotational issue and its instead just a talent issue
?
FG and PSF will keep you awake at nights for some reason ppl cant cope from 16 to 17
FG yea is p bad
PSF isnt too bad if you have people in disc
Works out qutie well
Anyway I sitll never got an answer about this talent thing
i think most of the wasted rage is from moment like this:
i am not criticizing you or anything, merely pointing out what i see
No worries, I dont really have a soft skin for critique, I just need answers instead of "throws up hands u dimwit"
I dont understand the graph you created, this is just me not casting anything?
Look at resources > rage then look for where the graph stays at 100
Then zoom to those times and look at your casts
Those will be the windows where you are overcapping
tbh it's only ~ 3% dr
few moments like this throughout
which u shouldn't need
What are the bars showing
Sorry I'm not understanding the filter you put on this chart
top is rage, bottom is IP cast
Ahhhh
Okay, so sometimes im just not pressing IP and its leading to bad moments like that
to verify that you are not throttled by the frequency of IP required being higher than IPs own GCD
i think so, yeah
do the math again
you can use this and see specific moments:
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/XRQpfFgDYkx4rAyM?fight=last&type=casts&pins=0%24Separate%24%23244F4B%24resources%240%24201238017.0.0.Warrior%240.0.0.Any%24true%240.0.0.Any%24false%240%24101&source=1&ability=190456
its literally a whole new track worth of block
Ty
thats 3x6 ilvls
you'll have a better idea of what was going on during those times
Any number runners in here
if not playing the execute build for m+ in aoe its better to fill with revenge right?
Revenge if no thunderclap or ss
And enough rage
yeah i was meaning if like TC and SS are on CD and i already got SB up one target might be in execute range but the rest arent so i figured it would be better to revenge all instead of execute one
If you have nothing else to press and plenty of rage, plenty of ip, etc. then better than hitting nothing for sure
there's no such thing as "plenty of IP"
you only press it when needed, i.e when deep wounds is off or you need resets
that rule doesnt change whether you play execute or not
or heavy handed
assuming you are trying to fish for a refresh on SS, it would probably depend on number of targets
with enough targets i assume 1 revenge cast is more damage than 1 execute cast
so what does deepwounds and ignore pain hav eto do with each other? im just now picking up warrior again after like 14 years. i been playing DK and monk for a while
you use revenge (mostly) to fish resets for SS, all the rage that is left over goes into IP
Im just saying if u dont need any rage for anything, might as well fish for refresh
you don't stop casting SS/TB because you want to "use up" your rage, and neither should you overcap rage
youre just wording it in a way that sounds incorrect
cause youre never not needing rage for anything
ahhhh ok. so i been using it to much then cause i been spamming it alot. (yeah doing lower keys clearly) but i been keeping SB and SS and TC on CD and then i have a WA that lets me know how much IP i have and then i just dump into revenge
IP capped? doesnt matter you still press it
ah i didnt htink youd want to press it if it was capped
yeah, don't use revenge to use up rage, use it to get SS back
or 3.5%
idk forgot
either way it really doesn't matter
it's miniscule
it does matter
if you have too much rage just IP, even if you are capped
I don't see a key where it would make any difference
especially for crit blocks
if you're playing properly
you have 0 survi issues
ergo you're losing out on damage for no reason
Didn’t the people who weren’t using it start using it? And isn’t it like closer to 7%
every single time a person comes in here and complains about shadowblades im gonna just link the log i take 75 fucking stacks and my health doesnt drop
and then point out that hey
i play shield spec
myrt are you paying attention to this channel lately?
not very much
But there’s no reason not to take shield spec.
people are not taking it ON DEFENSIVE BUILDS
what are your warriors made of lol, i melt when that happens haha
Here we go with shield spec discussion again pog
The last time this topic came up it was decided you’re trading something like 7% DR for 1% or less damage
just look at the guy linking the log, he said hes not proccing BSV and yet he takes everything but damage
on defensive build sure
"i dont play execute builds"
but overall it's not the best talent point to advocate
and what exactly is giving you more damage there
lets sim
bloodborne is like ~ 2.5%-3% of my overall in keys
sure
but pressing execute can be iffy on hard pulls
so you're not using it at all
sometimes
Pressing execute is a death sentence sometimes
Fastest way to get rid of rage yea, but also the fastest way to die fast
Its fun to press though
nah i dont agree sorry
Yea its just bad management to rpess for me LOL
its like you both didnt play colossus last season
There is a zero percent chance you die
Due to execute
If you are going to die, no amount of ignore pain is going to save you
I didn't play warrior last season
outside of 10's
and in 10's i just played MT
and never even bothered to gear it fully
Honestly I’m just going to send a 16 or 17 next week and not press ignore pain at all
Just to prove my point
you can't allocate extra brain power
I mean thats just the nature of pulling 15 mobs LOL

the nature of pulling 15 mobs that all melee you?
so somehow shield spec is invalid?

I’m trying to figure out who did the math
yeah but why would you play talent point that makes you live if you don't have issues with living
seems redundant
so dont play BSV
that's not how it works
Ignore pain is a smoothing mechanism, it’s meant to smooth white damage intake because warrior has recover largely due to leech
But whether you live or die is related to your directionality and your use of mitigation tools like shield block and shield wall
tho
Damn Nim is so fast
thats a talent that lets you live, isnt it?
it's a safety net, defensive sometimes
^
you're allowed to fuck up
5% or 7% or whatever
extra dr
won't save you
75% dr will
I dunno if you are playing with a coordinated group I could see dropping shield spec bc it’s expected
this is ridiculous coping
But just doing it in rando pugs seems like it’s not worth
I don't see at all how is it coping
It’s just so much more mitigation than you otherwise gain in damage
From that talent
If you will have hard time living keys sure
but you shouldn't
you're getting something that's useless
i don't think the BSV argument is all that valid tbf
If you're playing perfectly, you never have a problem living
IF you make a mistake, you have a safety net
Idk why this is complex
It isn’t like playing pwar is hard
As soon as we go to "playing the class isn't hard" we may as well as just leave the convo, nothing is hard and nothing matters LOL
i think the biggest problem with myrt's argument is that bloodborne is somehow better than other picks, if youre gonna get more damage at least get MORE damage
Some specs are hard though. Like bdk
i don't find any talents to be that useful in the content i'm doing (never logging in)
and then 4% DR, that goes into 8% DR on crit blocks, is somehow not good.
I dont understand why we reocmmend ilvl > all on shields now
idk
i don't think you understand how bsv works
if that's how you're approaching this argument
might as well just do shit on a hero track shield, since it doesnt matter
I'm doing shit on 713 ilv char with 90 crests in bag and no mythic done this week if that helps
brb key
and then I go on my tank to do some keys for my friend's vault
and it's impossible to fail 12s
where's the me's in my pugs when I play my rogue
:(
Playing with the good dps
just wanted to drop a fresh one
Boom roasted
the problem with this is that nobody really is playing a defensive build
you would pick something like fucking hunker down + FttF for that
- BSV + Armor Spec + Shield Spec
I mean sometimes dropping to 30% isn't even that much of a mistake
I don't think BSV should be compared to a whatever %dr talent
I think the biggest thing about the shield spec conversation that truly confuses me is that usually we're told it isn't enough DR to want it but then the offensive pick up is even less extra damage than the DR that's being complained about
BSV is pretty hard to get value out of imo
BSV has probably saved many keys, while simultaneously being "useless" in others
Probably useless in the vast majority of them
It did save me in a priory last season though
but I'd say that's a dungeon where you get good value from it
since the first boss was a nightmare
oof my keyboard seems to be dying
my mouse is dying nim
i guess its time for hall effect
left click keeps randomly getting stuck down (even tho it clicks back up still)
10 y/o corsair btw
and I keep accidentally walking through mobs and getting slapped on the ass
it's also not just black and white, when you have BSV talented you can play more aggressively, and tune it down when it's on CD
I mean you can treat BSV as an extra CD sure in that regard
but that's using it to maximise value and you're gonna intentionally let it pop?
That's a lot of effort for something that isn't necessary
imo it should just be baseline and we can stop having this debate every 3 months 
i think that's the wrong way to look at it, don't think people are talenting it so they can pop it on purpose
yeah, just wanted to set BSV appart from other talents that are more straight forward
because I don't think BSV is comparable to other talents that are used for a smallish active mitigation during the whole dungeon
nah for the streets event i go rly fast cause i have bsv and dont care
I don't really consider Shield Spec a small amount of mitigation
and that im sure other tank discords also have
poor choice of words, was just generalizing
But I assume you mean whatever it maths out to vs the big percent BSV has. 75% or w/e
All these discussions are irrelevant, let’s talk about spell breaker instead
we don't take spellbreaker because we still want the game to hold some challenge
I'll talk about Spellbreaker when it becomes it's own pure RNG based tank specialization
if only it existed
Harrow why did you stop logging in
all i see is a dead node
Are you secretly Nome?
oh it's just been a busy couple weeks
i was in a friend's wedding, i saw nine inch nails
Do they still have nine inch nails?
it would've been difficult to do a key at either event
yes, but once the tariffs are in effect we'll probably lose some inches
I wanna learn bdk but I don't trust other class discords anymore
they're all so, so bad
What happened, Yam
What did you encounter out in the wilderness
(Also isn't the BDK discord pretty good? Mandl knows what he's doing, yeah?)
It's more that, consistently ever since I've been active in here
I've received better advice about non-warrior classes than I do in the actual class discords
lmao
Well we are known for our boundless intellect
some guy I forget who explained more about vdh to me here than I managed to discover in all of the dh discord
zugging daily has been shown to increase your mental prowess
yeah, i might scramble for a passable vault tonight, we'll see
i've also been playing 2xko in my limited gaming time
Is that the league of legends fighting game
Niiiiiice
I hope it's good
When it comes out I will thoroughly trounce you as a showing of great respect
Thoroughly is the only way to trounce someone
theres no talent worth giving up to take sudden death for the execute proc and cleave in M+ for it to hit the 3 targets and such?
why would you want to do that
idk i figured we have a build that takes 3 other execute talents so i didnt see why it wouldnt be a good proc to have around.
I wonder how many executes SD would get you in a key
if you ever pick SD its for prio targetting dungeons which require specifically prio targetting, but you wont have a lot gcds to take it, and at 8+ mob pulls you really execute falls behind
it could be a lot of damage tbh
i sometimes check warcraftlogs and i see the floodgate trinket as one of the bis trinkets, im gonna guess its a bis trinket cause it does a lot of dmg right
why didnt you check our guide
wowhead or icyveins
oh i check icyveins as well
does this answer your question?
it was just me being curious like i said been away from warrior for like 14 years and was thinking man theres 3 other talents buffing it so a proc would be worth having i would think but also thats just me being fresh eyes to look at it for a second
you dont need SD to press execute
at any given moment there are mobs with lower health pools you can execute
especially in less than 8 target pulls
SD is an overall dps loss
its only used in keys specifically for prio targetting, if anything
unless... if youre pulling pack by pack
oh cool added that wowhead link to fav
i believe you. just was curious. i question small things here and there like that for classes when im doing things and learning
it's specifically good in short fights
uhh
what
oh you mean pacemaker
yeah its not a short/long fight thing
brand is
pacemaker nah
but again antenna basically owns it unless the player is picking orbs consistently
if it ever deigns to drop
does frontline potion ever come in handy or not really for high keys like +13 and up i just use tempered potion for more dps but i know dawnbreaker got those mobs that put a stack on you and if the healer seems to struggle and your stuns not up to clear the stack maybe a good idea to use it there?
tempered pretty much
meld pot is useful for skips higher up, thats it
and shocking disclosure in AK starting pull
ok just making sure frontline is not a viable thing
i dont even know what frontline is
i dont think ive ever used it in the whole expansion
oh
armor
good in comparison to the other options* i guess lol
i need to carry meld pots for when a random mob is being annoying in the overworld and i just wanna go on with my life
im a bit lazy as a tank and if anybody here knows when you kill 2nd to last boss what should % be when you fly up that ship for the last boss, im sure somebody knows
in dawnbreaker
94
cool ty
unless you want to do a pack while boss flies away 
doubtful, given what they were asking
context !

Imo Frontline slaps
it's never a bad moment to teach people that cool tech anyways
nah frontline is garbage, dont listen to the stamina meme lord
tempered potions give plenty of defensive stats
yeah i timed a 12 yesterday and was like 5% short of trash and dk was typing % like 20 times on last boss lol im like just dps man i know lol....after boss died did that double pack with like 2 mins left
dawnbreaker that is
Listen to the guy with 30M max hp frfr
well, you can do the pack AS the boss flies away
Not the DPSer prentending to tank
ive been a tank longer than you ever have
Longer than you have been alive even!
indeed
Tad bit hard to do that
hard? easy? doesnt matter since i have been
I def started as dps
dam i didnt know this existed ty 🙂
elitist 😔
After getting shield and weapon crafted (Wont touch mythic raid only heroic) what is the recommended crafted? I was thinking of Belt neck or belt?
wrist with dusk/dawn
and/or belt is fine
Not a big hit losing delve belt?
a 720 ilvl belt is way better than it
I have 710 bracers with socket
Awesome thank you! I appreciate the direction 😄
Got the heroic dimensius tank trinket, is it even worth equipping ?
Seems to be nobody wearing it
I have heroic idol/pacemaker
Yea the CD seems massive
I guess for push keys ( lower for me ) it could be useful
the logic loop ring is like random stats right?
just hope for the best?
i got a heroic version out of my chest for the 4 dungeons just now and it has like 7k crit on it lol
anyone got sth like a teleprompter for tanking dimmy mythic p3?
I always forget where to go
guys is there a particular amount of haste we want?
all of it is my goal
i just lots like 10% haste but gained 14% crit cause i got that ring. i had a 681 haste master ring and now i have a 704 crit mastery ring 7300 crit on it lol
huge
ah i see i thought it was ranom stat didnt realize they are all logic gate just alpha or omega or something along those lines
yeah
well parry go up is good
21k-25k
don't go much further
we don't care about the %
the rating is where it's at
at 21k we can afford to talent Into The Fray (ITF) and maintain a proper Shield Block uptime
oo ok thank you!
I think every time you queue in pugs as tank
the game gives you 1000 gold
but only just to us
because we're special
that way it won't cause inflation
That's very little, it should siphon 1500g from every dps and 1000g again for the healer.
That was yit causes zero inflation.
do yall use battle stance or defensive stance?
I agree
in raid when im wanting to be mean i go battle fuck it keep me alive healers. in keys im playing def stance
for now
bstance gives up a shitton of damage reduction for just 3% crit, only worth using when you’re truly not in danger
I'm curious about which tank has the most carry potential in a semi-high pugging environment. I just pug but I like playing difficult content. On my VDH I am hitting a really hard wall at 15s. I'm curious to try out either prot warrior or prot paladin. Any pointers?
I just had a tank who had like no haste an all vers gems
I was like hey man, that’s not ideal you should peep skyhold we’ll hook you up, give them my special discount code ROIDBURG for fast service
And he was like nah vers is bis
22% shield block uptime
Prot pal is really hard but very good carry ptoential
Warrior very chill, bit better in coordinated environment
is warrior easier to self sustain with?
Yeah youre fairly independent
Prot pal has to get baby sar; warrior just naturally gets healed by the healer pool
Most healers dont worry abt you
I see. That's really good to know. I have a 3.1k rdruid so that does seem pretty accurate to my experience
think I'll go with prot warr, tyvm for the info. The lay on hands / save potential is nice, but I don't think I have it in me to master prot pal enough to the point of that not being offset by my subpar play.
It definitely feels like a spec that needs to be mained for a few seasons to really lock in on
the pain point with vdh's survivability is that it's exceptional on average but there are 3-5 second windows where you are liable to just straight up die to melee. The active mitigation (demon spikes) even with calcified spikes doesn't do nearly enough on its own and misrotating one of your longer cd defensives is extremely punishing.
is choice of race highly impactful for us in pve? I'd assume no but figured I'd ask anyway.
Not realy, there are niche situations where u are like "damn i wish i was that or this " but thats it, u gona look at your char your whole game session, pick what u like most, difference is abysmall and even less in non cuting edge content
ulda didnt even need dwarf tbh
just pull all the basilisks at once
and play a stop
can't half ass it gotta full ass it
all or nothing
on the very first season ulda showed up, even as a dwarf i had problems until i pulled ALL OF THEM
and then it was easy as fuck
or actually, i think i was orc still by then
This might be a dumb question but
Does cursed stone idol during the channel make it where we cannot block?
cause everytime I use it
without fail
I spike
Its actualy one of strongest trinkets it just requires bit of planing when using
Trinket seller, I require your strongest trinket.
did this pull in a 17 Eco... we somehow didnt die and timed the key
actually amazed

:0. Did the big boy patrol get pulled by the top right mob, which then chained the other 2 small bugs?
Well I usually have our mage pull the 3 creepers… but he wasn’t around so we had two dps
oh you do all 3 creepers there?
Big boi accidentally pulled
interesting
Very easy and great count
You can avoid gloom bite damage
By walking a couple yards away while they are casting it
I just kite around the center crystal thing
pretty cool. Good to know! Ty!
no every time I've pulled one it has been a wipe
that being said, I only pug so there is that
Yea, healer stepped up
And our pug mage was a chad spell stealing like a champ
Helped him time his first two 17s
Well deserved for him
oh awesome! I'll cheer you on from +15 all-pug hell
fury is top 3 damage in most dungeons
Even if we double up battle shout
or at least was at the random time I checked one time
It’s nice to have a consistent damage profile in the group
honestly I'm very curious about silly comps. 3 frost dks. 5 paladins.
3 frost dks all with atennae or the prism or whatever makes them go 80M dps randomly in a pull, one gambit dungeon
I need to see it
pre stacking 18 stacks of prism before key start
u can pre stack ire too i believe
your icon is the heroic strike icon!
an ability we no longer have 😮
Aloha guys! How are y’all checking your rage generated/spent? And is there something similar for casts that were not interrupted? I know details gives me a break down of interrupt per player.
thats the wow player from the south park episode!
It is also a pretty accurate pic of me in rl
logs
Hello, I am Ilvl 692 can I start doing +2 mythic keys? Or should I gear more
Sorry if its a stupid question i am new to the game
You're ready to go
3 creepers

Just step em ezpz
yes
oh someone already answered 3 hours ago
I just woke up ok
ofc, ppl did 10s in 685 last tier gear at start of season
How valuable are boots for us? Like if I get em on vault on Wednesday, should I prio them or a myth trink/wep?
Woke up and chose i would do some 10 a fury (played prot for 2 season), good lord i forgot the struggle 😄
i feel like cloak-enhancing boots are not that valuable unless they re myth track because of the randomness of the cloak absorb
i'll choose a myth track boots with good stats over heroic raid boots
so prio your weapon trinket etc
Here's the recipe for pugging m+:
- play a desirable role
- be overgeared/over-rio'd
- use your key
Need at least 1
712 and still not a metaslave dps 😄
guess back to tankpass 😄
when i can check all of it 😄
I can list a 10 and get a meta dps spec with 3k+ rio and 714+ ilvl lol, the competition is just too fierce
it's because 3k is too easy imo
Everyone gets there in a couple weeks and then if you have no interest in pushing for fun then you just do weekly 10s/12s
which means 10s are filled with overqualified players
so playing alts or trying to play dps for fun is just a no go after the first month unless you have a premade
Pretty much
It would happen even if 3k wasnt easy to get though
Just due to the fact that people offering a good key are a minority when compared to how many dps want to get in said key
Yeah but it'd delay the time it takes for those players to stop pushing and start doing weekly keys
I think resil keys were a very good addition, but I'm still waiting for them to come up with something that makes people more willing to offer their key
As it is, playing a non meta dps (sometimes even heal/tank) without a premade is a terrible experience
Would it really be so bad if high keys didn't deplete? Raiders can wipe on a boss without having to redo the previous boss each time
If high keys didn’t deplete no one would ever run anything but high keys and 10s
This would make 11-14/15 a dead zone
This is already a problem
That already happens with the current system, no? People with resil 13s dont do 12s
Pretty much unless its for vault
Its individual for everyone, but even with resil keys once u hit your "wall" u are depleting way more than pushing, and u soon realize u cant fill your vault with your push keys so u just go few levels bellow for that , or just straight 10s for an ease and it just scuffs that even more
You do other's 12 if you do PUG and want to fill in the vault, even 10s.
I mean, blizzard would never remove key depletion because it fills up a lot of gaming time and they need their statistics
🤑
But being forced to run a lower key every time you fail (specially when solo queueing) feels bad
Yes clearly. You already feels bad about the run itself and then you have to rerun lower level before retrying ... not counting the possible backlash from the other players.
That's my yesterday's evening :x played terrible and my mates too, just did 2 10s, it wasn't the good time to play 😄
Still, mine is a totally worthless opinion, seeing as how I never go into actual push territory
but if you never get real downside of "losing" ...
Maybe put deplete timer. If you drop the key on the way, deplete, if you finish it within +50% time you keep the same level, over 50% deplete
I'd be interested to know what's the opinion of people that are regularly pushing top keys
A midpoint that rewards doing the key partially correct doesnt sound that bad honestly
Would only apply to premades though, as people couldn't care less about your key in pugs
right ...
Rwmoving* key depletion wont solve anything , or not that much , and will create another bunch of issues
What if key only depleted if abandoned?
What if keys depleted if you didn’t finish them within the allotted time?
hey did brand got nerfed?
i feel it did more damage before... idk if im playin better now and its dmg is gettin down
You guys have any good routes for pugging floodgate 16+?
Could also be a hundred things, boss death timings, downtime moments, so on and on
Also, my BDK is built with quite a bit of vers/crit
i like to do the two bosses first and then luust the big momma
hey i recraft my belt from last season with socket and everything and i loose the socket!!! wtf
People think they want keys to be easier to time and never deplete but fail to realize all that does is muddy the waters even more for pug only players because nobody’s skill changes you just have more people queuing for key levels they are not really ready for they have just thrown them selves at the pug wall enough times to land 4 people that could carry them
Tbf people already do this throw at wall strat but it’s less common than it would be with no depletes
this is why I say completed keys > io
if you have 30 completed 15s I know you are not a carry
if you have 4 completed 15s and they're all gambit
im not inviting you
🤷
i did an dawn14 yesterday and i said i was not sure about the route, and that im learning the prot spec... the priest was very mad, commplaining about everything... at least we timed! hehe i mean, complain if we fail right?
people are gonna complain
let em
"are you learnin on a 14 ?!" but how id learn the dmg profile if the low keys has no dmg
I have a few friends that push as dps and they nostly never do keys they already have
Ina pug setting, why would you anyways, unless you are using your key
This is not a complaint though, merely food for thought
ye, ppl only play if they get io (i mean pushers)
I typically do not que into anything that doesn’t give io either unless I’m spamming vault/crests
Unless helping a friend of course
ye me too big brew
in the end (and now you have linkin park in the head, don't thank me) we should just play premade 😄
problem with only queueing for score keys is you will hit a higher io faster but not necessarily be more experienced. i've seen some dps guys with a lot of timed keys in specific brackets and ofc they are gonna mald if i show up at same io and perform subpar.
Not being able to practice the key you failed wont allow you to improve at it is what I'm thinking
In the end, people who are really competitive just practice in the tournament realm, I guess
It was always like this, did you expect to keep your Season 2 Socket on Season 3 Gear?
Would be unfair to keep the socket you got from skipping vaults when other people need to skip vaults this season for it
i didnt knew!
Experience is gained throughout the climb, knowing what is threatening and what needs to be stopped. And by the time you get to a key level where it matters you’ll likely have the “experience”
Same as defensive usage
You learn quickly what you need to defensive
I don’t believe in pushing keys. I only pull them
Especially when you have an wa pack saying “defensive” in your ears
Sure, I share the belief that doing a lower key increases your experience
In a general sense higher io with less keys timed likely means better player because success rate is higher
But it sucks that if I want to try an aggressive 1st pull in AK for example, that I'm not very experienced at, I risk it all by doing it in a key
Resils help with that thankfully
Obviously being boosted is a factor but it’s hard to rule that out it’s just a poison the system has
i mean anyone can get indirectly carried and oneshot a score key
This is literally already the case as most people don't run their own keys and effectively don't have to give a shit about depleting
Sometimes I just queue up for a 6
ye, and the exp of the gamer is not only by seasons... i have big friends gamers that have pushed before but they are not playin now... but if they start to play i know they would jump the keylevel like nothing
Can anyone play in the tournament realms? No, right? Only if you're signed for MDI or sth like that?
Not to mention the thousands of ripped keys that drop to a 9 and feel extremely fucking pointless to run and then never get ran
means there's just less groups to join
The only reason people don’t host their own keys is because the key they have isn’t one that gives io and they have limited play time so it’s more efficient time use to gamble in a pug group that has a key you need score from
i agree with you yam, coz the dif between is so little
For people running 10 at least 8 times a week for vault maybe !
I think there's plenty of bad people running keys in the 2-9 range
my 10 on my alt got bricked this week so it was literally pointless to run so I just joined 12s and my key is still a 9
But for new players we need that many levels !
Lots os space for people gearing out too
instead of depletes, if they made it so everyone's key gets upgraded to the same as the hosts on success
I'd be happy
This is actually where I would concede my debate slightly, I personally do not think keys should have a timer or be deplete able at +10 or below
Not likely but it’s my opinion on it
i'd like to see a system where keys stop scaling at some arbitrary level, but the timer becomes shorter the higher you go
That's just this season though, because they are easy
ive heard that one action button has improved the gameplay of the playerbase in general
and +11s are so awkward too
11s are the weirdest.
When starting you want to have a progress curve on difficulty
Season 1, specially before all the nerfs, 10s were tough
11 is a useless level yeah if you’re not doing a 10 you might as well do 12 and not deal with the affix
Exactly.
+4 -> 7 -> 10 should be the 3 levels before guile + infinite scaling imo
I have never really cared for any affixes, but I also am the kind of person who can do repetitive grinds
I restarted Wow with TWW, S1 was tough ... note that I stopped at Cataclysm, so there was no M+ ... brand new system and way of playing, back in the days we didn't pull trash by groups, but 1 by 1 😄
A whole different debate is whether having virtually no affixes in M+ makes thr game feel stale
remove what is functionally 11, have it start at +12 difficulty at +4 and scales forever

agree, i had more fun with seasonal afix, like prideful, awenked... was fun
I meant, one pack of trash at a time ^^
Prideful was not fun lol
90% of the people playing M+ dont ever complete a 12 I think. Having all their levels reduce to 3 to catter to the top 10% sounds odd
I prefer the old affixes to these current ones tbh
but no affixes entirely feels better still
xdddddddd
yes that i was tryin to say xD
Yeah the affixes ... depending on which affixe you must have some specifics to manage them, it's sometime a pain
Think it depends on how often you key and personal taste. I know quite a few people who miss affixes when they do high keys all week long
Why does it matter? very few people are running 3,4,5, 8 or 9
I think we are biased
no the numbers literally show like 70% of keys run are 10s
What does raiderio say?
Is there any real stats on that ? I'm curious, i feel like lots of below 10s are done
They should make more interesting seasonal affixes that are there at all levels but not bring all the old onrs back, as that created a dead and push weeks which was shit
There is more 10s done than 2-9s combined
I could get behind a single season affix that never rotates and is active for all dungeons
The thing is with them rotating dungeons now is that really needed?
i mean it kind of makes sense? people who seek out m+ as a game mode are probably more invested
idk what the stats are for random non-ranked BGs vs ranked pvp (for similar comparison)
If we had different 8 dungs each season i would say no, but since we have same dung for 2nd season now and same "affixes" also, its kinda lame
also, delve kind of fills the "need" to run 2-9 keys and is probably a better experience in every way
Well not all dungs but like half ? And changes they made to them didnt change them that much to feel different
You know how many people log into a fresh 80 and either buy +10s or get rat carried by friends and don’t even touch the levels 2-9? 😆
Sadly i do , i have such friends xd
65% of the population doesn't have all dungeons at +10
I mean that includes a lot of people who've done like 3 dungeons
i mean, ofc 10s is going to be hier, and it shall be even hier... coz of progressioon early season ppl did loow keys, but now only alts
looking at what proportion of keys are actively being run is a better metric
I literally would not play an alt if I didn’t have friends to carry my rat ass through 10s immediately
but few people are also running lots of keys
which also skews that
Yea its so much pain there..
2-9 is a complete time waste after week 1
if classic wow's taught me anything, it's that there are many people who are terrible at the game
I legit almost quit last week. I have carried so many alts kicking and screaming through 10s for my friends. Got on my mage and no one would carry.
tank life
Same here btw
me too! hehe i mean, at some point that pacing of progression is waste of time... we know how to climb and climb the most effective... so anything besides that we would feel waste of time
that are good friends ..
no one in my friends group wants to play tank
got one friend who likes healing tho so I can at least get in some groups that way
Precisely
I mean, when +3s have less participation than +16s
it's a useless level
Just remember DF when it was even worse than this lmao
It’s all about time management as an adult playing modern WoW
specially now that you can't even do normal dungeon > hc dungeon > mythic dungeon, the gaps force you to do delves and shit if you did normal progression
Yes but why remove lower level when it's still usefull for some people. for those who runs 10+ it's a very short way up there ..
It's not useful
I don’t think they should remove 2-9
Every day you should be given random key levels you’re allowed to participate in :>
sleep is useless ... :x
It’s there for the people who need it
yeah
i've played with people that depleted a +2
A large majority of the WoW population actually
I "played" a 3 with new players, it was just too hard for them !
those people need all the low levels they can get
We are very much in our own little bubble of “elitism”
They're marginally harder than a 2 that is trivial which has a 90% timed rate
We are not typical gamers
deffo
6s are 96%
swayed by the fact people go back to farm it for a hero drop or two
but still
it's trivial content for the vast majority of players who actually play it
Why do you want to remove them ? you just blast through them, you don't really care are you ?
I ain't saying remove all of them
going from m0 to m10 would be absurd
but there's no reason to have half of them
I actually played a +2 on my marginally overgeared warr with all dps talents
Moving from +7% health/dmg to like +50 is not trivial for all players
And it was just such a pain
Bro Skyrimgrandma type players log onto wow to do +2-5 and get excited about their success at the end. And this is perfectly fine and should exist in the game forever
Actually took more time than a 10
like I said, 4->7->10 would make sense and make getting my alts up there less annoying
I think they need to scale 4 as 1 and 7s as 2
And so ob
So u can get respective level gear
Because you have low IO on your alt and have difficulty to get up to 10s in pug ? if wow just showed account higher IO in it's own interface then ...
And crests
4, 7, 10 -> 1,2,3
12+ -> 4,5,6.. so on
would be perfect
for everyone
I will die on this hill
didn't they already squish keys this expansion*? 1-20 went down to 1-10
s1
and then they made m+ significantly easier in s2 so it negated most of that
and there's a bunch of dead levels
s1 actually felt pretty good imo
S1 was good yes
The lower pug key is worse than hier pug keys, i mean, the lower one tends to fail more… coz the amount of information that a gamer has to know to step on a hier is enough to cover an important task or mechanic that would wipe or make a very hard time… so on lower ppl dont know it yet so it takes more time or even depletion xD
because key terrorists brick my key and I end up with a dead key for the rest of the week
if it was the system I proposed they could just remove keys entirely for 1 2 and 3

do we have haste breakpoints?
