Tbf, I think Khailby was removed because some of the raiders found him annoying or something

#

Rough memory tho

proper roost
#

i-

upbeat plover
#

His skill level was mostly fine

proper roost
#

yeahy this is kind of depressing now

red ferry
#

yeah but even though my life is pretty objectively one of the rougher ones you can ever have i'm still a very happy and jovial person so

#

see how hard i work to stay that way

#

lets all just continue being nice to khailby because he is an awesome guy

jagged gust

#

Didn't stop that warlock from making inappropriate jokes

#

Lmao

red ferry
#

i dont think they were jokes leland

upbeat plover
#

Well... I won't make that call

red ferry
#

but yeah anyways i'm chilling

#

in fact ill go do a key just to prove how chilling i am

proper roost
#

all i can say is if he didn't claim to be CE or done 12s or a few other things, such accusations would not exist

upbeat plover
#

So simple solution Khailby

#

Shut up and get some 12s done

#

It ain't that hard, especially now

red ferry
#

im applying to 12s right now

jagged gust

stream

#

we need to judge

proper roost
#

you will not be accepted just use your own key

red ferry
#

my key is a 10

proper roost
#

So do a 10

coarse bay
#

Do it

proper roost
#

You need a 2nd vault slot

upbeat plover
#

So run it up

red ferry
#

ok

#

we stream it

#

i can prove im not a bad player

#

or maybe i am but you shouldnt say that because its hurtful

no one needed u to prove that

I'm on call with my woman so I'll trust William's judgement of your gameplay

upbeat plover
#

Revenge if colo

proper roost
#

idk how to explain this but he misses thunder clap

#

👍

#

i don't mean he doesn't press it i mean like he doesn't hit enemies with it

dusky canopy

Kind of a "you have to see it to believe it" sorta thing

Get hit capped, idk

He also likes to use his back to tank

undone beacon

👍

coarse bay
#

@jagged gust can you tell him to stop standing in the middle of the pack

#

Tell him to hold s

upbeat plover
#

I don't back pedal tbh. S is ignore pain

#

:)

#

I should... but... meh, strafe

proper roost
#

ignore pain on s is crazy work

upbeat plover
#

Redefining the meta

#

Gotta press it every 0.3s anyways

coarse bay
#

Note to khailby for after key, go to interface settings and enable larger nameplates

#

Boss movement wasnt the problem there until the end

#

Like william said that’s a problem with the pugs, you can always try asking people to stack before key starts in future

#

Tanking the boss next to adds is the strat, but as the tank it’s your job to make the judgement calls. You gotta see where and how theyre playing and it’s up to you to keep the boss away from spiders

proper roost
#

oh no did he get ara-kara spider boss'd again

coarse bay
#

Im not saying thats how the fight goes

proper roost
#

I'm pretty sure its a 10 because we ran the 11 back and the key bricked cuz boss was right next to all the adds and ate all of them

coarse bay
#

Im saying the tank’s job in a pug is to deal with pugs

#

It just happens sometimes and you move on

#

If the group is like that I’d consider keeping boss far and making them full swap

#

And they need to be tighter for drops

unreal yarrow
#

Pug dps in a +10 on a Monday this far into the season are on average not good. Don't let it get to you

red ferry
#

i mean i didnt want to tell you guys this

#

but i actually practiced some ara kara keys

upbeat plover
#

@red ferry that boss, keep your group between the boss and the adds, and they won't get eaten, but uptime will be high

red ferry
#

i think ivedone

#

arakara 10s 7 times

coarse bay
#

Im not saying that was your fault btw khailby

red ferry
#

each one lost at first boss

coarse bay
#

The way to make those pugs do it right is tell them what you want them to do before the key starts

#

Tell them to stack between eggs and boss

upbeat plover
#

Pugging past the first few weeks is miserable. Wouldn't want to know what it's like now

coarse bay
#

Thats all

unreal yarrow
#

Strong use of pings can help

coarse bay
#

If you can have everyone stack between adds and boss, and then ping a direction you want the group to move with web drops

#

My ping is pressing scrollwheel/middle mouse

red ferry
#

i choose who joins

#

i didnt tell them to focus void emissary

#

i didnt tell them that adds fixate

#

as tank im the raid leader for the key

#

and i didnt do my job

unreal yarrow
#

Quit the emo bs

coarse bay
#

I mean when i pug i dont say anything to people, if they dont do the dungeon right and i did what i could then it is what it is

red ferry
#

its not emo

#

if i was sad itd be emo

coarse bay
#

Most ill do is link a route in a higher key

#

And you simply wont get experienced people applying to your keys u cant help that

undone beacon
#

I mean its not your job to baby pugs

red ferry
#

if i dont baby pugs i dont clear dungeons

#

and if i dont clear dungeons i get "khailbys only done 2 +10s"

coarse bay
#

Its an end of season and expansion problem

red ferry
#

if kanga can do like 12 keys in a row no bricks im sure its a me issue

#

so we'll fix it

#

simple as

unreal yarrow
#

12 keys get better players on average

red ferry
#

sorry not +12 keys

#

12 keys

coarse bay
#

Idk why youre trying to like fall on a sword on your 2nd week in low io pugs

#

Youre not experienced enough to handle

red ferry

because i want people to stop dunking on me for being lazy

And thats fine

proper roost
#

?? I had like 4 or 5 keys failed in the last couple days without you

red ferry
#

this is how we do that

#

think of it like game prog

#

if you want more gear you do the bosses

proper roost
#

Where did I say it was 12 unbricked keys in a row

red ferry
#

if i want to not be flamed ill do more keys

unreal yarrow
#

It's you first week of tanking. Of course you are bad. Everyone here was.

proper roost

You can't really prevent some unbricked keys

uhh

nevermind

Khailby stop being sadboy be grindboy

#

keys get bricked

proper roost
#

whingy

red ferry
#

im not sad at all

#

if i was sad youd know

#

this is analytical khailby

coarse bay
#

I think we need to actually fill a group and show him what doing a dungeon without clankers is like

proper roost
#

We have but he is equally whingy

#

big mental issue imo, need to have a better attitude

jagged gust
#

we'll kumbaya and itll be okay

undone beacon
#

He was doing pretty well the other day! Other than responding to pug toxicity but he was not the only one

red ferry
#

yeah someone said a mean thing

#

and i said kindness is free

#

that was a mistake

hollow patio
#

The higher you go the more keys will be bricked. It's part of the game. You can't change that.
I remember I was doing some pull in dawnbreaker I believe.
1 DPS bodypulls the pack to the left and at the same time a different DPS bodypulls the pack to the right. We wipe and the key is over.
Just happens sometimes 🤷‍♂️

coarse bay
#

Like i said my only pug interaction is some form of hello or o7, maybe a route, and a ggs at the end

red ferry
#

i think you guys have a misunderstanding of my mental

#

i'm fine haha

upbeat plover
#

If I bothered to log this game I could probably help cari

proper roost
#

if you don't type toxic ? after every pull then u aren't doing keys correctly

coarse bay
#

Oh no trust me im toxic when it comes time

coarse bay
#

Dropping a ? Is a classic

upbeat plover
#

Khailby. You really need to throughly understand, that as the tank. You are just playing BM hunter, and the group are your pets

Lmao

undone beacon
#

"???" "..." "tank?"

coarse bay
#

Not that it’s to be used as an excuse, but warrior has some of the least control out of the tanks

#

You still rely on your team

hollow patio
#

Kinda true. BM pets also always bug out and don't do the shit they are supposed to do

undone beacon
#

When i join a pug for a key thats higher than a 12 I give a o7 and I link my route and then i dont say anything the rest of the dungeon

#

When its 12 or less i dont say shit

coarse bay
#

No way am i linking a route in a 12 lol thats full npc still

#

Group utility moment

#

or lack thereof I should say

jagged gust
coarse bay
#

In most pulls you have access to a single interrupt and other than that you watch pugs get bolted down

#

And our stuns dont do much when every stun is thrown out on pull and cause dr

hollow patio
coarse bay
#

Warrior also has limited ways to get aggro of something that gets ripped or pulled

hollow patio
#

What I am missing the most is an ability to tag multiple mobs from range. Like avengers shield for example

coarse bay
#

Idk pwar is the tank i feel the most at the mercy of my teams competence

#

Exactly if someone pulls a pat you have to charge and tc or rev

#

But if u used all that gathering

#

It feels very unforgiving when you are with a bad team

#

Significantly less of a problem with real people thoufh

#

A lot of people get lazy when the meta is ppal, or vdh last season though

proper roost

is he still yapping instead of doing another key

coarse bay

No

Oh did he have to reset

#

You have an enh and fdk, if they dont give u a couple gcds then its their fault

#

But youre playing

#

You need experience

tbh I kinda remember what it was like to be 20 and upset that i wasn't naturally good at everything

the frontal-lobe-impaired teenager cannot conceive of skills that you must practice for many years until you're good at them, even if they're fairly simple seeming skills

rsham has shear but its 30s cd

#

wowee

dense cradle
#

i do feel ppal covers people in your group being bad

#

more than the other tanks

#

I still miss when ppal would instant die if sotr fell off

coarse bay
#

Btw another tool you can choose to bring for that slow is intervene, that and leap can cover any missed cleanses

dense cradle
#

i feel like im pepega when i play ppal and theres not enough globals to press everything

coarse bay
#

This season where both are good, youll see ppl used to ppal in a pwar group and itll be noticeable

dense cradle
#

like whether to sotr into spinning hammer or spend the free wog into hammer

coarse bay
#

Never wog

#

Ez

dense cradle
#

doesnt spending the procs cdr your lightsmith weapon

coarse bay
#

It isnt worth it unless to get spellblock up or youll die

dense cradle
#

what if you arent talented into the block post wog

coarse bay
#

Youd rather spend your global on something that interacts with masterwork

#

Then you only wog if u need to save your life

#

Obviously in higher keys its more often

#

This tier is all about the tier set interactions

dense cradle
#

yeah like idk where that forge something damage comes from

#

on details

coarse bay
#

Your lesser wep overflow from masterworks

#

Which they can only proc on crits from bh, judgement, or the execute one

#

Or actually its just bh and judgement is think

dense cradle
#

Yeah but you want to bh after a spender for the talent right

coarse bay
#

Youre always spending its ogcd

dense cradle
#

wait bh is ogcd?

coarse bay
#

Sotr

dense cradle
#

I could have sworn its on global

coarse bay
#

Ppal is pretty much just keep your builders on cd while not overcapping

#

The damage comes from playing your armaments correctly

#

Wog is on global, thats why it sucks to press

dense cradle
#

i could have sworn sotr was too

coarse bay
#

Nope

#

The bloods can hit team and they hurt in higher keys, good to get aggro. And the leap tech is very good for your team, not just you. It reduces the amount of puddles the team needs

#

Leap just under 1 second left of cast

#

I do 0.8 but idk if you can see that well without addons

dense cradle
#

blood?

proper roost
#

blood mobs ont he last boss on arakara

he's still half talking to khailby in voice keks

That boss was pug killer hell in s1

dense cradle
#

i forgot those guys had an aggro table

#

arakara in general is quite easy to brick in pugs

#

imo

proper roost
#

it seems kinda like a massive heal check key but idk if that's just from groups so far being dogshit at it

coarse bay
#

I dont wanna ping him and make him look at chat, khailby when people say shit like you being the only common denominator, that isnt saying you caused a brick. It’s simply that nobody plays perfect, and the only thing you can work on is yourself

proper roost
#

i probably just dont know how to heal it well

#

but other keys dont really heal check me nearly as much, as often, i feel, outside of like dawnbreaker maybe

coarse bay
jagged gust
#

its a real rollercoaster when it comes to healing

proper roost
#

i mean rsham is allegedly op idk

jagged gust
#

the lows are low but the high can get high, especially without enough kicks

proper roost
#

and i can feel it is op (I am really bad at cloudburst and i am still doing fine)

#

but there's just a lot of dmg inc that isn't true of like floodgate or something

the poison beetle add boss has some pretty ridiculous damage

like that boss just is not cool, even compared to the rest of the dungeon

Hey guys i want to wish you all a happy Rosh Hashanah. Discord is full of copypasted thanksgiving messages, that people don't even read and just forward to other servers. I don't like that. I like to write what i deeply wish and what comes from my heart. Our friendships, from the most deep ones to the most virtual ones are very important and will never be represented by a simple message copied from elsewhere. This being said I would like to thank all of you. You are the best hockey team i've ever played with.

Mudslide is a deflect. Meaning it will do no damage to you if you use spell reflection, but also won't deal damage to the mob. Makes it pointless to use it on that mechanic especially since the established strategy would make people very confused if you didn't move for the mechanic.

You cannot direct puggers in keys below like 12, maybe even 15 at this point

Why spend the gold for a few extra ilvls when the game's dead and it's not going to make or break his keys? The game drops gear that's more than adequate for doing everything up to like +16s

it’s also like… you don’t need to fully and correctly assign blame

There's literally nothing abnormal (or special) about Khailby's journey

he done 1 day of keys and then avoided it ever since

because he's afraid of doing it wrong

many such cases

upbeat plover
#

Do you need help sometime @red ferry ?

proper roost
#

i mean i don't think that is abnormal either i think this is very normal. again. it requires mental illness to want to spam keys

#

i think the vast majority of wow players do like a few keys, not even 10s-12s, and then dip and never do them again

round pendant
#

I mean what khailby is experiencing is kinda unique to tank and healer roles tbf

#

most players are dps specifically to avoid this feeling

#

You even have people with tankxiety in fucking FFXIV of all things

proper roost
#

if you look at rating cutoff 50th percentile of m+ players is like 1900 io

he's just average

so good for him. raiding is an entirely different skillset anyway

for bdk in particular

i think bear actually scales the best in this regard, with how they designed it

nowadays, anyway (since DF ish)

BDK only need to live between DRW CDs, and that is where you got Vampiric and IB

you should play bear the spec is like BDK but if you didn't have drw but if bone shield actually worked

So ultimately highest dps tank is what wins here, and yeah i mean, I'm pretty sure bear actually wins that one because of aoe damage scaling (thrash is really good)

Character boost

Umm... I'd say just level in lemix cuz it takes no time

Doing Lemix is also a good way to get some neat transmogs
