Because we changed from Colossus to Mountain Thane. Colo prioritizes revenge, Thane prioritizes thunder clap/blast
anyone have excel where can i see the relfectable spell on s3¿

Why did I died here please ?
I got Shield Block up and I'm front facing the mob (mini-boss before lass boss of Dawnbreaker)
I only mitigated by 25% his Melee ?? Why ?
If you are being outdpsed by another warrior 99.999999999999999% of the time it’s one of two things
They are playing better than you
They got better tier rng than you
There is virtually no scenario where secondary stats account for a large difference in dps - you could stack mastery/vers, play zero haste and run heavy repercussions and still rip orange parses
That mob's auto attacks are (for some unknown reason) not blockable.
Ah I know why !
It's mean that his melee deal Shadow Damage
But don't really explain why it's not blockable...

But probably a bug with this feature
Yeah and it's not really a reason, as we've blocked shadow melees in the past.
Yes but that was technically spell block
Nope
Mistress whats-her-face in Tomb's eels meleed for shadow damage
And we could still block them
There have been through time spells that were blockable and magic and spells that were reflectable and physical. Those are the exception, not the rule.
Well I did not blocked them and they went straight into my ass 
I'm aware of that. I was stating that them being shadow damage doesn't instantly mean that they should not be blockable, because we have had exceptions to that in the past.
I just got a fat melee from Fractillus because i had like 0.5 seconds left from the debuff after my tank got the tank hit. Is that normal? Never happened to me before
Other tank went out of melee range
Happens a lot in pugs
that mob does 100% magic dmg and is not blockable
on pull, immediately use a defensive, at the very least SR
afterwards it should be chill as she spends most of the time casting some shit
Yeah I checked a number of logs and she only melees like 6-8 times usually
over the course of the fight
do sims work for brand of ceasless ire?
its saying antenna sims a lot higher for 1 min 5 targets
Yeah, it would say that. Ire has to ramp up
Yeah it’s what I will do now thank you!
Hello guys, what type of 1h wep do we pref ? I would like to craft on my reroll prot war pls
One with a high item level that gives strength
Yh but we doesnt care about damage range ?
Damage range doesn't matter for anyone at any time
Anyone online able to recraft my sword to 227 please? Sick of spamming trade lol
Crafting is server-specific outside of guild. Try making a toon on the other faction and asking in trade there.
Slam’s getting rolled into revenge in midnight though
So revenge will finally be nice on more than just aoe
genius havoc retreats off platform on soleah and stay there unable to die for the entire fight
we had to do each star wave twice since 4 players
also on first boss the DK disconnects while holding a rune so we werent able to get past intermission until he came back which was too late so we had to die and restart fight
crazy how you find bad players even as high as 14s this late in this season
not that a disconnect makes you bad
but just the general vibe
tho its fun i enjoy the pug crazyness
i would argue that most players in 14s this late in the season will be mostly "bad"
the "good" players will be doing either top range keys for IO (16-19) or 12s for weekly crests
the only people doing 14s are the people pushing them for IO - which at this far into the season are likely at the top end of their skill range, so you are playing mostly with people are barely made it past 13 and are trying to get past 14 - but are failing for whatever reason
bad and good relative to the top end, not in general
i would agree with that assessment
i guess most do 12s for vault, i just search for 12-14 for vault and i saw gambit so i grabbed it cus its quick
usually
I love the shaman: "?"
nah
Can someone point me to optimal stats as prot war? how much haste do I need?
higher than 21k rating if you want to talent ITF otherwise you run Heavy Rep
thats it
you just use haste and sim the other stats
there are no optimal numbers
or goal posts
I played with 21k for some time while I was learning prot. but saw my shield block falling for like 4 sec during some pulls. dont I need more to keep shield block up? I mostly care about high m+ survivability. not raid dmg
m+ or raid doesnt matter
aight, so 21k should be enough?
if you have gaps with ITF at 21k, consider going heavy rep until you go higher
it is enough, as a bare minimum, but its ok to use HR if you cant deal with it
just keep getting haste and make the swap to ITF again and see how it goes
but play HR for now
aight thanks
hi all just curious what to do here i can upgrade my 710s to 717 but just had pacemaker drop and dont know if its worth keeping, i see on archon its popular with brand but is tome just better?
its worth keeping
just upgrade 2 of them and then the uppies to the 3rd will be free
whichever you want
is it worth using tho over tome? or should i just pass it on to a dps friend in my group
i could just get in on dinar i dont have much else needed from keys
ok then go ahead
ok thank you
is it better than running antenna and ire in M+?
what is
antenna replaces pace
arguably
brand is a hard slot
this all depends on tracks and ilvl
I am a big fan of Brand + Tome, mainly cause I like tome and brand showing big numbers 
antenna is a bit iffy as tank
quite annoying to play around
pacemaker is super consitent with no thought required
you use:
- Brand always (except where you cant maintian stacks- i.e. reclearing raid at sub 4min kill times, or on keys where you cant maintain stacks consistently)
- Tome - always on ST + when you dont have prio target in Keys/AOE
- Atenna on AOE
- Pacemaker on AOE if you dont wanna micromanage orbs
too bad for you, i just did 4 keys with it
🤷♂️
No, too bad for YOU
All my DPS parses are 95+ in m+ nowadays. I'm cranking those DPS numbers
parsing in keys isnt hard lol
far way too many fotm rerollers flooding the lower dps ranges
doing negative dps
Hahahah
inflates parses
Gotta keep doing 5.5-6m
Wait, 5m is good? 
It's better than most
I thought I was doing shit dam, after seeing monks do 8-9m, guess that just scuffed my reality
5m more than most dps pugs i see in the sub 13 key range
db too probably
6m in streets is like a 99 parse
U can check yourself in a log. It's lower than details cuz of out of combat stuff too
You can go into details and set overall DPS instead of active DPS

Its a lot closer
Pull everything, have funnel blast elite so boss comes out so you can funnel it. Run like a moron, pull mini with dogos, pulling into cats and to the cart. Then pull the badlands pack into menagerie. Then miniboss with friends into, if you read so far, you a lost cause. Then blast postmaster and finally snap the three packs to boss wth misdirection. All ez pz lemon squeeze
I mean I've been parsing 95-99 with Tome so
free from floodgate jail
gzzz
is that ur dog in ur pfp?
ye
tell him he is a good boy
okay will do
If you do 6m in streets you’re pulling big and you have banger dps
Only key I can’t break 6 in
And struggle to get much above 5 on most pugs lol
you can break 6 on gambit?
I have yea
But I had to do some shenanigans at the end lol
Like pulling almost all of the last area
And unstable rifts may have killed my group
By my dps was great

can you spell reflect netherblast on saladbar? its not listed on the spreadsheet
I don’t believe so
It has a cannot miss tag
Typically those can’t be reflected (because they’re fight mechanics)
The Dr may work
6m in streets is crazy work
Unless on weekly type keys
Idk how much u can do there
it was a 14 so
no shot you rip 6m in a 17+
the sizes of the pulls youd need to do
no chance lol
Ye i think i do 5, 5 something
On 20-21
And those are purple+ parses so its a good dps
Idk 6m sounds insane
I think im around 5.2-5.4 in the 17s/18s Ive failed
you have to go right
I think
which is crazy talk
Yeah aint gonna happen
Db 6m is also good
Think my max was like 6.1
Waiting for wednesday huge spike in gear
yeah but I think you can get a lot of milage in DB if you have good funnel
bosses eat your dps
im pretty cooked on this season tbh the thought of going past 18 without a group is painful
i cant believe we gotta do this till feb
Just take a Lil remix break
lol
I’m not a fan of remix game mode
I can see how a lot of people will enjoy it’s just not for me
I will just not play once dim is down
Or play alts
I already got 4 bis chars tho im kinda alted out lol
It's mostly for bad players to chill and feel like they're playing Diablo. Infinite growth and one shotting everything and doing greater rifts
I can't 
No, I taunted the boss because he did the Tank slam on my mate. But for some reason I still had the debuff for a short time and got meleed
At this point we both had the debuff at the same time so who is supposed to take the melee hit?^^
The Rio thirst is so real, the amount of “do you have flood/ak/priory on resi?”
No, I do not want to be spending hours wiping on first pull 🗿
guys im spooky io
So has anyone here experienced Anub'ikkaj double casting terrifiying slam in dawnbreaker? I just had this shit happen in a +17 lol
I never experienced this tho, like through my shield wall aswell kek
That's what I am confused by
Nah, I've done like 3x 17 dawns yesterday and this just came outta nowhere
Don't think I have logs, can check
I also experienced this behavior after getting hit by the orb
you’re a demon
I suppose the orb damage removed the IP. I also fiddled around when I had my 17 resil, and figured at around 713ilvl that I needed both shield wall and any other defensive. sometimes sw+spell reflect wasn't enough if my ip weared off
Sadly no logs from this run :/
Hm might've been that. I just got abit shocked when it happened since it's usually not a problem haha
Yeah I had the exact same reaction. If you plan on pushing and want to get better I suggest to get an auto combat logger + warcraft recorder
The exponential damage buff from keys to keys can sometimes be very surprising
Yeah got a new PC recently so gotta reinstall that it seems
Especially for moments like these :p
yea you def did not have shield wall up
totally unmitigated on a 17 the magic damage portion does 19.98M
assuming that 12m hit is the magic damage
wasnt shield wall mitigated
Wouldn't that mean that shield wall mitigated 40% if it hit for 12m?
5m IP as the screenshot shows at 86% hp
boss probably had tblast debuff
Yeah must've been a serious of unlucky events and a miss from me ig
Wish I had a log
looking at how much that phys part hurt, you might've even dropped SB ngl
nvm
im dumb

def no SW tho, on my 18 with just SW and IP the phys part does like 3 mil post absorb
Anyone who can bother to take a look at my log for a 16 Floodgate? I am new to Prot Warrior and generally only play Prot Paladin. My damage generally seems way lower than it should be.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/x94cymvZNk8MHBD6?fight=16&type=summary
Not sure if its me spending Violent Outbursts incorrectly, pressing revenge too seldom or if there is something else missing. I have tried to look at top logs, but they seem to be running execute talents. Not sure if that is needed to do good DPS also. Anyhow, I feel like I should be able to get a way better log than this if I know what I am doing wrong
Would be nice if someone could bother to take a look🙏
Or maybe this is better done in the log review channel, can move it if thats the case
U waste a tone of rage stop doing that
U should have this talent
And u should be closer to 90% blocked hits
Someone check is VB usage my phone wont let me
This talent, why is it that all the top runs opt out of it?
I was never in any danger of dying, its just that my damage was lack-luster. But I shouldnt waste rage, so thats a fair tip
I guess I just have to mash IP even harder
It's more survival, this talent gives about 5-6% of damage reduction. You may say you get more vers and take an offensive talent instead to clear packs faster. I personnally use this talent because i play in pug, but my idea is that top runs need more damage to time and having a coordinated group is better than having to spend point on more survival
The top ppl run it because literally unga bunga i dont need
When its the equiviently of playing with a 713ilvl shield when u ahve a 730 in your bag
U wouldnt do that would you?
Like u get margin ither 3% dps with BB or a bit more rage through bloodsurge
Your also, not the top and mot running in their group
I never said I didnt run it, Ive just seen that the top runs are without it 😊
But still, there must be more wrong with my log than just wasting some rage with that mediocre log no?
In regards to the dmg-profile
I cant see your voilent oitburst uasge so i dont know
And wasting that much rage isnt medicore
Its massive
Alsp ypur blocked hit being low is really bad
Also if your damage is bad and ypur not in trouble as you say why areny u just running the dps build?
If u care about damage
So I assume that you more or less cannot get good logs without running the execute build then?
Anyone able to screenshot the kind of benchmark for stat percentages? Only started prot this season (only started playing wow beginning tww) just so I can have a look. I know its Haste>crit=vers but Im not sure on percentage and soft/hard caps etc. Cheers.
Just by getting the Brand of Ceaseless Ire can give you around 10% dps more
Parsing in keys is all about your group
If your pugging u arent going to log
There will alsp definatly be ppl playing the exctue build in 16s
Theres nothing like that, just sim
Is there a way to sim for prot or is it all just simmed as dps aye?
I have great logs on my Paladin pugging, which is why I wonder. But I assume no brand and no execute build in lower keys makes it pretty hard to log well
Your suriviability comes from play not stats
Answers it pretty well, thanks. Always appreciate some tough love
Thank you
is it just me or the violent outburst talent isn't displayed on the summary ?
🤔 Cant promise that I had it, but I sure hope I did. I aint confident enough with Warrior that I know what talents to take, so I might have missed having it as well
Seems silly if so
Way too many points spent at the 1st and 2nd gate
You're losing shit ton of damage because of that
😎
Aight, but then I think I know what I did wrong lol. I'll get a better build and spam IP better
Thanks all
i recommend playing the wowhead certified talents builds #ad !
am i tripping or is there no way for nexus king to hit you in the back while youre looking at your ghost?
he casting so no
Oh interesting, the other way from what I thought you said, not much you can do there lol
when people in my keys group die except of me, could it realistically be my fault? for example during boss aoe or mobs abilities. it's not an aggro problem
Indirectly yes, like if you pull too many casters for your comp or bad overlap combos but generally no
Usually when people die it’s either missed interrupt, no defensive, stood in bad
Like for example in a high floodgate if you pull big momma, the pull ends during jumpstart and your healer has no healing cooldowns and you immediately pull the bloodwarper pack
You will probably wipe and that is ultimately your fault for not recognizing the healer has no cds
and if only momma and no extra pack? same happened with dawnbreaker second boss during aoe
I mean only channeled
What did they die to? Some mechanics are harder to deal with based on positioning. Like if you have her tanked against a wall with the lightning on the ground on the other side, it'd gonna get real sketchy trying to dodge sonic boom and the add circles
And that would be your fault because you're the one responsible for positioning the boss
If they die to the intermission aoe, there's obviously nothing you can do about that
A better question than "is it my fault?", is "is there something I can do to improve play to keep it from happening again?"
Sometimes the answer is no. Sometimes it's yes even if not "your fault"
Nothing here you can really do besides rally
If they die to that aoe they didn’t defensive or healer can’t keep up
Pretty hard to say, but how you tank a boss etc can make the encounter a lot easier or harder.
If you tank Broodmother incorrectly in AraKara for example, the fight gets a ton harder, but you cant do much about the fact that people die to Big Mommas AoE. So it all depends
There are ways you can support those bosses by pulling the dungeon in a way that helps ensure the healer has cds available
But the standard routes do that
So unless you’re running some jank ass route I doubt that is an issue
Your ability to directly influence people dying as a warrior is basically zero
Don’t point boss at people, press rally
Bout all you got
What is the chance?
its 3 ppm hastened

If i have Outburst active, do we always use on Shield Slam or is it okay to spend it on a Thunderblast ?
Thanks
And how do i play correctly to not get "SS" CD starved when Outburst is active ?
what do you mean
Im often on CD from SS when Outburst is up
is this in pure ST?
cause thats what i meant by this
if thats the case...
then you need to revenge or execute
but honestly
its not a huge loss to spend it on TB
Yea the whole goal of only sending IP when you are above 70 rage
Is to avoid that basically
If you hit that scenario you either got unlucky (which does happen regardless)
Or spammed ip
spending IP on 70+ Rage only ?
yes
Yes you don't send IP when you have low rage
the idea is to not rage starve yourself
To make sure you have rage for revenge on downtime
okay thx
at 70 rage an outburst SS will rage cap you
we dont wanna waste rage by being capped, nor we want to be rage starved
so 70 is a good point to spend an off-gcd spender like IP
thats its only job
to spend rage
regardless of if its already up
you still send it
does active damage reduction reduces the amount of damage you can reflect ?
no
I believe spell reflect mitigation is calculated after wall though yeah?
Reflect = first but the mitigation portion comes after wall?
wouldnt matter
multiplicitave reductions in the same category
same end number
a reflect removes the mitigation buff though
i thinkt he only place that matters this season is reflecting a debuff in dawnbreaker if you were using it for the miniboss tankbuster in the church
can fuck you ove
DR is first in line
but it doesnt reduce reflected damage
and yea muyuu is correct
that was patched in fucking dragonflight mein dude
youre crazy
Because it does
The reflect and the dr are two different buffs
oh
if you're only tracking the reflect buff it'll disappear when it reflects something
yea i guess i flubbed my weak aura lol
smh my damn head
sorry for asking but i need 13 new characters sooooo, what's the fastest way to farm gilded ?
i heared people do delves and exchange rune for gilded. but i dont know which level to do or is there a trick
M+12s
12s
damn
12 crest farm runs are prob down to 9-10min each
so dont worry
will be quite fast
crikey who r u running with that u are running 10 minute 12 keys
What do you need 13 new characters for
what is a job
Probably some challenge
he wants to farm gilded for THIRTEEN CHARACTERS?
its one alt and i'd rather have a stroke
💰
⬆️ 👍
For what ?
what in the fuck
boost
why do you need 15 characters to boost
i;'m changing what i do for boost. this one requires 15 characters
Unsaved runs, I guess
15x unsaved heroic + mythic
Man am I good
the fuck
good thing is i only require 710
710? Slackers
man
apparently that's enough
have you tried getting a job
until now i was doing m+, so i didnt need many characters
there are things i can not speak of, dont make me xD
so much easier than farming gilded ON FIFTEEN CHARACTERS LOL
long story short i gotta clunch my butt chicks and farm
ya be suprised how little certain counties are paid in wages
HOLEY
i'm not saying anything
its heavily implied
it is what it si
It is implied, but it is also just a stated fact that currency values are just that
i only asked for gilded guide T_T
You asked, ya got an answer
Btw, I got almight 3%, and 601 ilvl
So
Get good
Why do you need fifteen characters
So he get 15 characters, and then gets them to 710 ilvl.. then does what to get 900k gold?
topic is over, move on
your mom's account is more than enough 
Don't understand how having lots of 710 ilvls can be turned into gold unless she's doing some other tos stuff like mutliboxing and carrying to get all the boost gold but that would be hard to do as a healer, dps, and tank
I boost by multiboxxing 19 prot warriors in heroic raid and then carrying people one at a time, easy game
but i spread them out across difference races so i can do racial stress testing too
mmhm mmhm
Turns out goblin IS the best race
I thought about it but I think that's like real tough to do (multiplying different specs and roles)
Can someone look at my logs and give me like the 2 biggest issues I have why I'm parsing gray for my iLvl? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/wyrmrest-accord/ceeby
Specifically on plexus sentinel or Loomithar.
The biggest diff between you and top logs just seems to be execute damage
and bigger thunderblast avg cast which suggests not maximizing violent outburst/tier set on TB
Oh shit am I supposed to use violent outburst on TB on single target?
as i understand it, TB with the tier buff is just a higher prio than anything else
(besides CDs)
no
SS is highest outburst prio in ST
outbust
outside of outburst, yes TB, more specifically tier procs have prio
again, very strictly in ST
so for both cases this is PURE ST:
Outburst: SS > TB > TC (this one you shouldnt ever use)
Non-VO: TB > SS > TC > Execute/Revenge
is wowhead lies
right, but if you're following the priority literally, you'd hit TB even with outburst up
i understand what youre saying but no
in any case you're prob just not spending tier procs as fast as the highest parses
its just the caveat of having a single priority list for 3 different things: regular prio, outburst and rage
the difference between using VO on SS or thunder blast is so minute that if you have to think about it at all you've already lost more damage than you would potentially gain
it is not minute
but like you mentioned, you dont wanna hold an TB proc when SS is down
if you go into simcraft and change the APL so that instead of prioritizing SS it doesn't prio either SS or thunder blast you get the same result
that depeds on the length
on 3 mins or 1.5 mins sure
and again this discussion is strictly about ST
hit by hit SS will outperform TB with outburst
ya im talking about 5 min single target sim
you dont even need a sim to see it
well i did just sim it and its the same
good thing this discussion is going away in midnight
if we're optimizing, all you need is to hit an SS with Outburst and then hit a TB with outburst to see the difference
plus the rage gen diff
but in a time window... it depends on a whole lotta shit like proc rates
so the sim statement is pretty useless
it is NOT minute
but once again, you do not want to hold a TB when SS is down
I've said this a number of times its not 100%
And if you read 12 and 13 it sounds like pressing revenge is always better then execute bc you can push revenge to apply would or fish for ss resets. I think it means push revenge in aoe and if less than 3 push execute
execute also resets SS
So why is fish for resets even in there? 12 = if aoe then press revenge. Else skip this step.
13 = execute if targets ❤️
yeah i think knowing intuitively when to forsake normal priority for big fat executes is the biggest parse differentiator
and isn't captured in the literal priority list
the fuck i know pepega, i dont memorize the prio that nome put there
i just know what to hit and when
12 and 13 might as well be "visit this site so you get scammed" or some shit
Yea could be written better
Messed with me too when I was learning
but its p minor, you sorta just pick it up when u play the class anyway
Good afternoon
when i hit 720, i'll get the gilded achievement ?
correct
I was under the impression you had to have each item to that item level, not just reach 720
That's how it works for the lower achievements anyway
you get it with just 720
you just dont get discounts unless those item slots are up there
Mine procd at 720 and still have hero items
same
Honestly the whole VO priority discussion is generally done backward
The realistic answer is: Never send VO on a base tclap.
Anything else is fine, just not a natty tclap.
no its never send on TB or TC realistically
aTB buffed
sure
SS sure
anything else nah
Yeah once you reach 720 you get the account discount from 15 -> 10 gildeds on upgrades you've already done, for example if you have an 8/8 myth chest on your main, upgrades on your alt's chest are 10 gilded
Its different than the other achieves because of the scarcity of myth items I presume
Hi
greetings
yo
holy shit
new yo just dropped
It makes me irrationally pleased that I can use discord decorations without spending a dime
Copy that
For anyone who is also a tab targeter for getting to kicks
Surely this is doable in any game where this is helpful right
Because I think that might be fellowship but if it could be done in wow or if that is wow mmmmmm
I would be very pleased
If I’m not mistaken doesn’t WoW already do this passively?
That is, in fact, Fellowship
Idk mate I feel like sometimes I try to tab to a mob casting something and I gotta machinegun that thing
Fully automatic tab
Ratta tat tat on the tab key… ratta tab tab?
It is Fellowship, but this is already a thing in WoW. Prot paladins even have a macro they use for this (I assume because it probably works better if you clear your target first and then target something with tab vs just tab targeting)
tab targeting for kicks is illegal behaviour
You’re illegal behavior
youre under arrest Rhino
I tab target for kicks if it's a huge ass pull because I'm not cut out to play call of duty with nameplates
Exactly
See Ghash gets it
especially when they're hiding each other and I can't click on the damn thing even if I wanted to
But realistically idk why we can't just have a list of nameplates on the side of the screen with cast bars
similar to boss unit frames
Don’t worry guys next expansions the enemy nameplates will function perfectly and we will be able to see and click on any cast we need too
Can even mousover kick and never miss!
Amazing
Have you seen the video clip I posted in here @dusky canopy
Mayhaps
It's really bad on alpha right now, like worse than now
Nameplates literally swapping each other across the screen and shit

Maybe we can integrate Siri into wow so we can say, “Siri, kick insert mob name here”
Like that's actually possible
It’s possible?
its called apple ai
Yeah of course
and gemini, and chat gpt
I mean, if you had multiple enemies with the same name, it would just pick one of them
Yur an apple ai
But you can definitely do the functionality of that
and i wont accept cortana either, cause its copilot
Idk what my phone connects to my truck I use Siri to voice activate it
I def don’t say Apple AI
People have been doing voice commands on WoW since like...idk TBC? I used a program back in TBC to dual box after watching a video of a guy who farmed Scarlet Cathedral with his mage and voice commanded his priest
its cause apple is 10 steps behind like always
So you'd basically just have a macro for each important mob and assign a voice command to that macro. So e.g. you make a macro that's like
/target Devout Priest
/cast Pummel
and then you bind it to like / or something, and then you just set up a voice command to press / when you say kick priest or whatever command you wanted to use
But again, if it was a pull with multiple priests, it would just target the first one (however WoW determines which one is targeted first) and kick it
That’s pretty sick
I’m glad I know all you wizards
It’s like my whole landscape shifts and my horizons have grown
There’s a whole world out there unexplored
Siri isn’t ai
That’s why it sucks
It does all of the compute on your phone
As opposed to something like Gemini or even Samsungs booty offering
Though I will give Apple credit, it does work well for what it is
Idk what that means bud
I can ask Siri to map me a route to the nearest watering hole and all of a sudden I got a map in my truck computer screen like I’m in Star Trek
Maybe Siri has moved beyond AI and has become a Star Trek computer which isn’t just AI. It’s AI with style and pizzazz
its just funny we had Siri, Alexa, Cortana, Hey Google and instead of implementing AI on top of those, they just made up new names
Apple AI, Alexa + ?, Copilot, Gemini
Apple TV+ just became Apple TV last week
yeah saw that
I think he means HBO Now
remember Hulu?
Someone's gotta rename some stuff periodically to look busy
jk its Disney+ now!
Hisney+
Husney+
They're changing/have changed the name back to HBO Max
Or at least, they said they were going to as of like...2 months ago when I read the email
yes that was the joke

Timed first 18 key lol
Outside of micro errors being pounced on, there's not a huge difference between 16->18
The difference is 2
Can’t you math?
No
for remix, are people prioritizing haste or crit above all? im getting all these pieces with +25% crit, but i've got 12% haste and 12% crit pieces on atm. any thoughts?
i ask because i dont really know soft/hard caps either
im curious as to why haste though, it doesnt reduce our cdr
but then i look at my stats and they give 0 anyway, even tho i have 65% or im just reading wrong
they dont matter in remix
fair enough, but im not sure why some of my stats just say 0
Because you don't get rating on remix; you get %
That's why it says 0, then [+65%]. You're getting 0 rating, and then 65% flat increase from gear
Haste is good but if you get enough that your GCD is 0.75, there's no reason to get more really.
ah, i see. makes sense then
what kind of haste would you even need to get the gcd to .75, that seems nuts
And crit and mastery are both more valuable for damage past a certain point, though it's hard to say where that point is. I'd imagine if you have like 40% pre-ItF, you have enough haste that it shouldn't be a priority over crit or mastery
pre-ltf?
Before the talent Into the Fray
ah
40% pre-ItF would put you on the very high end of what people have on live
well, im at 100% haste, but not sure what to test the gcd on because they all have relative cd's
In the end, the vers and the traits are the large majority of your damage on remix so stats are kinda whatever
I assume you don't have like deja character stats or any other char screen type addon?
Deja shows the GCD as one of the things it displays. I don't think the default char screen does though.
100% haste would give you a 0.75 sec GCD
more than likely not, didnt even know there would be stat display addons
At a certain point, it's really hard to say what's best because the stat values are so inflated from what they are on live
does deja heavily modify the UI?
I would say you can afford to lose some haste to get more crit
No, it looks just like what you posted, except it has more sections with more shit
ghash it really doesnt matter
or do you have a recommendation for one of those types of addons
And you can enable/disable what is visible
I never said it wasn't, but he asked a question so I'm answering it as best I can
way over thinking it
i understand that, but im asking this for the addon for retail because i didnt know it existed
information is valuable
It has things like movement speed, GCD, etc.
I don't know if I'd say you need it, but I use it 🤷
I believe it also shows the item level of your gear but could be wrong on that
and that can also be disabled if you have something else doing it
the parry stat as shown is only influenced by crit right and nothing else?
obv talents too but
The parry stat on remix is not reliable afaik
As there have been people who had 100% parry and it still didn't make them parry 100% of the time (not even close)
i was just looking at the crit modifier and it says it gives % to parry, but it says 0 aswell but i have 89% parry chance, so i want to know where its coming from for retail purposes
it does suggest diminishing returns
There are diminishing returns in play that normally don't really come into play in live
Parry is from base chance to parry + parry from crit
and as a general rule of thumb, haste doesnt make your cd's refresh faster right
Not directly, no, though it does impact the cooldown of Shield Block, Shield Slam, and Thunder Clap
more shield slam = more rage = more dumping for AM
is this legal?
legal? no. the coppas on on their way to your house
If blizz goes after them they are insane
It’s free press
And to add to that fellowship actually has done a great job imo lol
why
they took blizz's patented 'servers dont work'
do you use pacemaker or antenna on prot warrior?
preference/whatever you have access to, they are both great
Boys i need some advice, The third boss in HoA with the canisters - do i need to have the party hold kicks to play the spell que'ing or reflect / kick everything to have more spawn faster? or is the timing based off when the last canister was used?
I don't think it has anything to do with spellqueueing, as the boss doesn't cast the vessel. It's just a bugged mechanic sometimes. There's supposed to be a new vessel spawn every ~20 seconds starting at approximately the 60 second mark, but sometimes it skips a spawn and you end up waiting 40-45 seconds instead. If it happens at a bad time, you end up waiting on a vessel while the add pulses.
you are better off here just having them not kick imo
for every three you can reflect, kick, eat one
the amount of damage you gain here by not losing reflects is worth eating them
imo
That's good practice in general but it doesn't have anything to do with vessel spawns
Sorry I wasn't trying to correct you; just clarifying for him
by doing that, when you get to the end of the fight you can control vessel spawns by either not kicking, or forcing kicks when you need to move her queue
its not perfect and she does skip them sometimes, but i find it much easier when we hit a place where we have no vessels to just hammer her kick to move her along
It doesn't matter if you kick every cast or not; it has no impact on the vessel spawn time
You can see that in logs
i am pretty sure if you kick her bolts immediately multiple times in a row it can cause you to miss a canister
i haven't tested that theory in a long long time though
maybe I do that tomorrow
because im only like
85% sure
much appreciated gents! Good luck out there!
on dimensius, when putting your circle near the boss, is it possible that im moving to close to his model and he somehows attacks me in the back? because i cannot explain what happened here otherwise
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/2bQjxKHtGgkNFzcr?fight=27&type=deaths&death=1
perhaps me being a tiny gnome may be relevant
u still have the debuff
oh im a fucking dumbo
we just started progressing it yesterday after killing nk, didnt read anything above surface level stuff xd
tysm
from what i know u the tank that gets the knockback needs to tank for a few seconds after the knockback which should be fine as they should have a defesnive running
nah, ive been trying to leave the second pool in the same spot as the first
literally going into the stuff
brothers, i must leave you. i have been assigned to 15 Dks. i'll be bothering DK discord from now on. i appreciate everything you did for me

what splits are needed now?
no clue
in remix, whats the opinion on speed vs avoidance vs leech?
That it doesn't matter at all
Today or tomorrow depending if US or EU
What is the wowhead site for fellowship?
Lol true
I keep getting recommendations to play fellowship, haven't touched it yet but I hear it's good
I downloaded it yesterday and played the pwar/ppal tank through a bunch of dungeons. It feels good the only obvious downside is its tab targetting doesn't always get the mob i want. Even less than in wow
I tab target, I think there's a box you can check in the options setting so you always can tab to the caster you're facing or nearest to
gasp, im famous
Guild leadership talking about skipping soul hunters prog entirely in favor of just going for salhadaar
I dont love the idea personally but people are getting burnt out already, though its not like salhadaar is an easier fight
soul hunters is a 20 pull boss probably with the turbo boost going live, the fight is not hard at all
it also drops the best item in raid that eveyrone is getting today with dinars
A 20 pull boss for better raid teams maybe
you underestimating the impact turbo boost is going to have on that fight i feel like
theres no one shot mechanics you just do the dance and hit shit
u should do oul hunters its more like 50-60 for guilds nowadays (but porobably less as a the massive jump of ilvl we area bout to get)
it will also save ppl dinars
if u kill it
It took us like 130 pulls to down Araz, these people have two left feet
Regardless, I'm on team give hunters a chance because it has some wicked strong items
IF the team bothers to go properly juice themselves (which we will see), then it shouldnt be a long fight. You just learn p1 and then... thats it really
But if we cant down hunters i dont know why we'd do any better on nexus
u wont
yeah
im almost killing nexus, should die this week, i feel like its mostly p1
p3 the boss falls in 10 tries or less
but p1 does tkae a lot lmao
theres a guild my guild checks in on time to time, they skipped hunters and went stragiht to salad, we killed hunters, and with 1 less raid day a week we have overtaken them on saladbar (we have like 200 pulls less than them)
and we reclear every week, cause boots and trinkets and vault slots

skipping hunters gunna burn your team out
i dunno anymore
cause u have guild with 300+
probably around 200 ish
i reckon
tough fight
honestly i just hate the ghosts
idk everything else im okaish with but actually seeing the ghosts spawn is hard for me
I get 2 and 3 confused so many times
i have probably died to that stupid thing 20 times during prog
My 2 cents is that’s a horrible idea considering soul hunters is easier and it also unlocks boots for everyone to dinar
Maybe they fear of not having time for CE?
if your guild is still at frac (or even araz then?), you are not gonna have a good time on nexusking
soul hunters is much easier and meanwhile another nk nerf might drop
NK is completely personal responsibility
It will highlight who isn’t very mechanically aware
This is their rationale. People are burning out and they're afraid we're gonna hit roster boss if we dont push towards dimensius
But also skipping hunters and doing 300+ pulls of nexus... isnt going to help burnout either
It took 130+ pulls to kill Araz, people in this team arent mechanically aware at all
Reality is you will hit roster boss as soon as you pull NK 40 times in one night and realize how much people struggle with those ghosts
I'm not looking forward to it in the slightest
I dont even fucking care about CE anymore I've never gotten it and never will so whatever
I'm just gonna go back to being an AotC andy that doesnt touch mythic at all I stg
You will get it you’re just at the stage of not having achieved it atleast once yet so you have to weed your way through the lower end CE guilds that kill the boss once in a tier
Keep pushing you got it
I need to resign from leadership in this guild so I can play the field next xpac lol
Its just frustrating because I love the game but having to herd cats and deal with people's BS in what should be a leisure activity is so unfun
Once you find that guild that progs at a pace you’re satisfied with and whom you also vibe with you’ll be golden
All in due time I suppose
One officer is worried it’s gonna take 150 pulls to kill soul hunters for “a probably 1% dps increase across the raid”… I’m never getting through to these people I stg
If it takes 150 pulls to kill hunters how are we ever going to kill nexus
They’re not necessarily fully wrong because dps isn’t going to kill the last two for you
But it’s more about maintaining vibe imo
People killing a boss and getting a sought after item is vibe++
Exactly, being 6/8 with the cool items is going to do more to mitigate burnout than being 5/8, leaving loot on the table, and wiping to nexus still
Also our guild leader refuses to schedule an officer meeting and by god I’m not going to do it for him
And our healing officer won’t sit down and plan out healing CDs
raaaaa
I already raid lead, direct strategy, and set up all the MRT/WA shit
I already have lmfao
I’m not also going to plan healer CDs, organize the officers, and corral the raid team
i mean its easy u just well ive set up hunters if u want to skip
set up saladbar
cause i m not
At this point I’m just gonna say we skip hunters you find a new tank
raaaa I just wanna make funny numbers go up
I’m just gonna get a myth brand in vault and then we can skip hunters EASY
The game should be fun. Don't let people force roles on you, especially if you can't make related decisions. Are these irl friends?
Nah, I joined them at the start of TWW when my old guild collapsed
I told them at the start of this season if we don’t get CE I’m going elsewhere
u must be like rank 3k WR tho right?
like thats not likely to get CE
last tier was an outlier really
my guild refuses to be average 
This does not inspire confidence in me lmao
dont bother my prog, we had few terrible days on Nexus king, literally 0 progress made on these days, but yesterday was pretty good, we started reaching P3 and proging it nicely
I bet your experience will be much different, in a positive way 
how many pull sfor araz jawor?
92, killed on Sep10

but fortunately rekills are going pretty well
way better than in previous seasons, when they werent rekills, but reprog 
yer cause all the bosses are over geared
up too the last 2
then the final phase of dimi is overpowered by gear too
this entire tier was designed to selfnerf by gear/buff power
It took 130+ pulls for us to kill Araz on a two night a week schedule
after raiding for a whole season thats the conclusion ive reached too
2 day guilds dont have enough time
3 days think they have too much time to waste
i wonder w hat happens if i swap to4 day raiding
just play in a 1 day guild np
😭
We’re at 100 pulls on nexus and I expect it to die tonight
Then we can kill dim and I can be done with this tier lol
You burn out
Most 4 day guilds are ass
IMO 2 day with 3 day prog for first 3-4 weeks is the sweet spot
You get w nice little prog boost while everyone is engaged then you coast out the rest of the tier
Bit of a random question with the tome from priory is it better to send it on CD or wait for the buff every time as it seems to take longer than the trinket CD to rotate back to shield buff
I wanna swap to 4 days
Not a single boss is hard enough because blizzard just nerfs stuff for fun
Like Im purely racing blizzard to hit the boss while its still a challenge
You only press the button when it swaps to its defense mode, that way you have full crit uptime
In m+ it wont always be possible, but you follow the same rule, just has to sit on defense mode a bit longer
Roid let me in your guild lmfao
I can survival hunter pretty good i promise
ill keep the bench SO warm
Isn’t this a relative thing tho
Well I am talking about myself
Raiding more days doesn’t make the boss harder though, makes it easier
If you want a challenge join a hof 2 day guild
someone recruit me to a good 2 day guild
Theres like 3 of those in the US
ty
Would if I could though
Better get to work then 
Yeah def don’t play mw then lol
Missed HoF this season by a week, so now I gotta do HoF next tier
I really enjoyed mw
This tier
Definitely can be frustrating but it was diff from warrior or priest
I usually did myth raid as a hunter so, tanking the last two tiers was a nice change
Prot last tier, bear this tier
tiny ass gif
thank you thats very kind
Sorry if I have asked already but ive truly forgotten if so.
If I am a m+ enjoyed do I dinar a antenna or the priory trinket?
Pacemaker
is it worth grabbing a mythic pacemaker if we already have a mythic antenna?
Depends on your antenna uptime. For me 80% uptime on it simmed the same as pacemaker.
ok i usually miss less than 20 due to the weakaura, thanks
You can also sim and see what’s the best upgrade for you.
nah log on fellowship
idk i keep seeing stuff about fellowship but havent touched it
I just need a chill background game while I work
little modded minecraft experience
Yo guys 730 belt with good stats or 727 belt with embellishment for m+?
Sim it, if you can move embellishment to another slot it might be worth it

ill make sure to ping you for every one we get
Didnt know fellowship added raids
Replacing heroic ceaseless ire using cartel chip - pacemaker or antenna. Other trinket is myth devotion. Keen to hear thoughts
F in the chat for servers

Lemix too strong
Broke wow forever
do boots from DHs available for dinars?
is Fellowship worth buying the full pack set? your review so far, please?
what the fuck is fellowship
jk i know what it is, but that aint it
and i dont know, i dont have it
I will be honest, I got tired playing 4 classes this season and I wanna take a break playing something else meanwhile.
it dont
my lemix horde on illidan can login just fine but my malganis regular warrior can’t login
odd
someone said it earlier here, hero track interloper boots are not worth dinar-ing, right?
nope
whoever that was, he was right
the only hero track item you want to dinar is brand and brand only
thats about it
okay. cool. so it'd be either antenna, tome or pacemaker for me then
Rip for logging in right now, anyone having any luck or are all server auth just shite right now?
No I dont think they are
I bought fellowships yesterday its like m+ without the bs
For $20 its work imo
