Damn I am a nerd dragon for sure

#

Oh hey ghash

#

Do you like turn based rpgs

tribal wharf
#

alrighty lets go

warm plinth
#

Uh, like what? BG3 type shit?

solid sun
#

Like divinity or divinity 2

#

Idk if bg 3 is multiplayer

warm plinth
#

It is; I've played it once with 3 friends

#

Never played Divinity

Skyhold rpg night could be funny

Dang

#

I wanted to level my DK and Warrior tonight but looks like my power is out.

you should build a squat-powered generator

daring marlin

lmfao

#

any prots want to run a zero arms channel says prot will out dps arms we trying to test this theory ?

sharp gale
#

they talk bc they know they will be the number 1 dps warrior spec

solid sun
#

30 minutes

#

Then surely the notes drop

warm plinth
#

gottem

solid sun
#

Noted

sharp gale
#

maybe the real patch note was the friends we made along the way

tribal wharf
#

so, with pwar, i HAVE to hit, avatar i guess it is first? then demo?

#

cuz on paladin i can just mash all the cds at once and not incur a GCD

#

so i can then have full duration of buffs

#

kills my rotation on warrior when i dont activate correctly

1 more min, then we know of Rhino can be trusted or not

I trusted you, Rhino...

Only siths deals in absolutes

tribal wharf
lusty grotto
#

yes thats what happens when you dont move

#

from the checks picture 8 glacial barrages that dropped on you

small steeple
#

lmao

lusty grotto
#

and/or if you were rooted, which was most likely the case, you didnt kill the root and ate the full damage of the barrages

tribal wharf
#

knew i should have bubble regen it

lusty grotto
#

kill the root (or freedom it)

#

and move

#

and you take 0 damage

small steeple
#

hi nim

lusty grotto
#

hey

solid sun
#

I cannot believe

#

It didn’t happen

warm plinth
#

30 minutes

solid sun
#

Alright thirty minutes

cursive python
#

👬👬👬👬👬

tribal wharf
#

so

#

again

#

i have to cast avatar before demo every single time right

#

or gcd?

lusty grotto
#

demo is on the gcd

#

avatar is not

sharp gale
#

He is asking if we cast demo shout before avatar

lusty grotto
#

you didnt see what he was saying earlier

#

GCD (Avatar non gcd) Demo

#

is fine

#

avatar lasts longer than demo

#

so yes it should go before, between gcd windows

sharp gale
#

Yeah I didn’t know the answer myself and I know fury have the weird OF situation where you cast it outside of avatar

warm plinth
#

I think it might be a nappy nap situation

mighty valley
#

both have variable cooldowns so… just press them as soon as you can most of the time

warm plinth
lusty grotto
#

yeah harrow is correct

tribal wharf
#

how about SC, instant spell or sorcery?

lusty grotto
#

ideally avatar comes first if both are up, but the order doesnt matter as avatar can just be cast in the gcd window

#

either you avatar in the gcd window before, or the demo gcd window

sharp gale
tribal wharf
#

cuz, i find often i waste SC with only demo or avatar going out, but i will swear i hit the button

#

and then paladin mash f1-f3 (those are my main cd button)

#

and then it just work

lusty grotto
#

you SC with avatar + demo ideally

mighty valley
#

you’re probably mashing your demo bind while on GCD from another ability

#

so it’s not going off

lusty grotto
#

and you SC with only demo in the recharge window

#

but tl;dr

#

just send shit on cd

sharp gale
#

In practice I might still throw a first thunderclap as first gcd after avatar for aggro, maybe I’m wrong

tribal wharf
#

yeah, cuz im trying to be better on making sure those go out, maybe bear and dh and bdk is less clunky like that

#

actually, i think bdk is more clunky than pwar except pulling

keen eagle
#

Anyone have some numbers on where prot warr currently stands for tank damage in dungeons?

lusty grotto
#

DRW is on the gcd, if that's what you mean

tribal wharf
#

same issue i have with monk, long cd for not much DR, not used to this as warrior

sharp gale
#

Do you have runes issue on bdk ?

mighty valley
#

i’m starting to cool on auto proc ravager from all the times it triggers in the middle of nowhere while gathering

tribal wharf
#

the problem i have on bdk is i boiling blood everything

#

even gpt said i do it

lusty grotto
#

happy...

sharp gale
#

It is snap aggro tool

mighty valley
#

asking chatgpt for wow advice is like asking reddit for wow advice

#

since I’m sure that’s where half the training comes from

tribal wharf
#

i think this was earlier version ofgpt

lusty grotto
#

he doesnt trust advice from here, remember

coarse bay
lusty grotto
#

i have to remind myself every time i try to give him some

sharp gale
#

Are you willing to stop giving them

coarse bay
#

But fwiw, pwar sits somewhere between like 3-5th place probably 🙂

lusty grotto
#

no

#

cause theres lurkers

#

and if they read what is being said, they might learn

tribal wharf
#

BOILING BLOOD EVERYTHING

lusty grotto
#

or unlearn

coarse bay
#

Ive never really understood the people that say once you play bdk, you love it more than anything

sharp gale
#

I won’t either + you can be easily gcd lock currently on bdk if you are learning

tribal wharf
#

uh is i am vastly too stupid to play it properly

sharp gale
#

you die very very fast from gcd lock on bdk

lusty grotto
#

i havent been gcd locked and my DK is this close to 90

tribal wharf
#

melee + hunter pet is confused ungabunga . jpg

#

nim has it

sharp gale
lusty grotto
#

no

#

m+ build or w/e was in wowhead

sharp gale
#

Kinda weird I had some gcd lock in the last levels

lusty grotto
#

probs haste related

sharp gale
#

You had manaforge gear ?

lusty grotto
#

no

sharp gale
#

Bc I was undermine gear mostly

lusty grotto
coarse bay
#

That is some low ilvl

#

Is that s1

sharp gale
#

Maybe I’m doing something wrong, I didn’t check the midnight rotation tbf

#

Undermine is 110-120 gear

coarse bay
#

Ya my rogue was like 122-123 when i leveled it

lusty grotto
#

my toons are my crafters, i just level them and sometimes i just dont play em

coarse bay

Toon slop

lusty grotto

well i mean in actual content i guess

because at the very least i craft on them

Here we go!!!

#

@cerulean tusk

lusty grotto
#

ok lets see here

#

aura buffs

tribal wharf
lusty grotto
#

ill get the numbers in a sec

tribal wharf
#

10% aura buff is fine with me

lusty grotto
#

bear nerf

#

slight monk buff

tribal wharf
#

brew slight nerf

lusty grotto
#

vdh buff

#

DB bdk buff

hardy snow
#

arms still under bear I guess

tribal wharf
#

huge paladin buffs looks like

solid sun
#

No way arms is cranking now @dusky canopy

lusty grotto
#

0 prot paladin changes

tribal wharf
#

they buffed the hell out of ret

warm plinth
unreal yarrow
#

The monkey paw did in fact curl for the apex talent

#

Guess we take all 4

lusty grotto
#

execute remains bad

glad magnet
daring marlin
#

Arms and Prot big winners

#

ret too

lusty grotto
#

ehh i woudnt say that

unreal yarrow
#

Fury got almost as big a buff as arms

lusty grotto
#

its not that massive

#

reap being nerfed sucks for fury

sharp gale
tropic star
#

doesnt this loss of crit kinda hurt colussus even more

lusty grotto
#

ill do a sim in afew and get actual numbers

#

but i estimate around 3% increase overall

unreal yarrow
#

Really, that little?

undone beacon
lusty grotto
#

if its an aura buff

undone beacon
lusty grotto
#

then yes

#

the wording is never clear

#

it'll never be a 10% increase to sim numbers

#

or rather

tribal wharf
#

does not change we have to have shield block to trigger it right

dusky canopy
lusty grotto
#

its highly unlikely

azure valley
#

boys

#

how are the buffs

#

for prot war?

tropic star
sharp gale
tropic star
#

pretty hard hit to SS damage it feels like

undone beacon
#

Reading the notes explains the notes

tropic star
#

thank you

undone beacon
tribal wharf
#

trying to understand what they are changing, they are removing the 5% dr on first node and moving it to last?

lusty grotto
#

its one of the two buffs we predicted

tribal wharf
#

is that what im seeing here

lusty grotto
#

yes yogi

#

and buffing the first point

#

thats about it

lofty warren
#

Horry shit

lusty grotto
#

unfortunately no execute buffs but it is what it is

tropic star
#

i do in fact not read good

tribal wharf
#

10% more shield slam

#

well, say no more, am i right?

lofty warren
#

Where does this put pwar at now?

sharp gale
azure valley
#

boys

#

i just wanna know xd

lusty grotto
#

ill have numbers in a few

azure valley
#

are these good buff

lusty grotto
#

im busy

azure valley
#

okok

tribal wharf
#

same as always i figure :S

lusty grotto
#

unless mwahi is around and shares em

tribal wharf
#

clunky low dmg utility tank that takes no dmg

glad magnet
lofty warren
#

10% more damage and the apex talent dr is just moved from point 1 to point 4??

toxic pewter
#

LOL

daring marlin
#

arms in full revolt

#

hahahahahahaha

toxic pewter
#

never thought they would make our apex worse LOL

#

wat in the world

glad magnet

#

im gunna go lurk in arms

aight ill try to have numbers in 20ish

#

i gotta get food

sharp gale
#

200% legendary tomrus comment

azure valley
#

boyus

#

idk

#

they moved apex rank 1 to rank 4

#

this is bad bad

lofty warren
#

I dont understand. We only got a 10% damage dealt so just take the current number and multiply it by 1.1?

tribal wharf
#

yes

#

unless there is other magic at work i dont know of

undone beacon
#

It’s not like there was anything worth taking instead of the fourth point of apex

azure valley
#

not in m+

tribal wharf
#

rank 1 is now having 10% more shield slam damage

azure valley
#

idk

#

maybe i am wrong

tribal wharf
#

to compensate for making 5% dr r4

chrome cipher
#

What does this mean? I'm not seeing a difference unless they mean its gonna be 10%?

#

ah i see my bad

tribal wharf
#

i used to play magic the gathering and yugioh

#

so reading the card explains the card

daring marlin
#

My favorite is them being mad at Ret getting buffs.

sharp gale
#

Aging.

tribal wharf
#

meltdown is happening

sharp gale
#

Still funny you have fucking pepega in the mix

daring marlin
chrome cipher
shell crescent
#

They swapped them because people were only taking the first apex talent.

chrome cipher
#

pfft

azure valley
#

idk boys

#

if this is good or not

chrome cipher
#

"You have the choice" No take it all

azure valley
#

for m+

sharp gale
gleaming spoke
#

don't understand the range decrease for piercing howl but 10% is actually massive

lofty warren
#

Updated M + tier list just leaked:
S: Bear
A: Brew, Pwar, VDH
B: Ppal
D: DK

azure valley
#

bear s ????????

lofty warren
#

Yes it's nucking futs

gleaming spoke
# lofty warren Horry shit

doesn't this just swap the buffs of rank 1 and rank 4? or are they adding another 10% to shield slam through rank 1? wonder if the crit chance on rank 4 is staying

lofty warren
#

Yes all it did was move where apex talent thing is. Only real change is 10% dps buff

toxic pewter
#

theyre making it harder to get the 5% dr

#

so people dont just put in 1 point

gleaming spoke
cerulean tusk
#

Are they trying to sell us to throw in 3 more points into the apex, for 5% DR?

raw parcel
#

10% buff. We eatin' good, boys?

toxic pewter
#

yes

raw parcel
#

Is it the hour of the warrior?

toxic pewter
#

lol

azure valley
lofty warren
azure valley
#

to het the real talent on rank 4

cerulean tusk
#

I am confused, didnt they want us to take the 4th?

raw parcel
tulip bridge
daring marlin
#

LMFAO

tulip bridge
#

Good amount of dots in the raid also

lofty warren
#

Pwar gonna be not the best but also not the worst

sharp gale
#

Wisdom has spoken

cerulean tusk
#

I am just reading these notes and I wonder if the devs even play the game weird

I gotta have missed out on something

sharp gale
#

Idk seems ok for raid tuning

cerulean tusk
#

Maybe we always wanted that DR all along or something. Maybe BDK is fine. Maybe arms didnt really need buffs

daring marlin
#

I was told prot pally sucks but no buffs

#

🤔

cerulean tusk
#

Prot pally does more DPS than my Fury on St in m0 gladge they prob fine

mighty valley
#

oh they did actually nerf our apex talents overall

#

oh well, 10% is a lot

sweet egret
#

10% of nothing is still nothing

cerulean tusk
#

Guess they dont want us to grab the apex talents, if they didnt chance the phy dam bonus behind the scenes, to make 2/3 worth

lusty grotto
#

10% additional damage

#

its a buff

#

on top of a buff

cerulean tusk
#

That is just the flat spec buff tho, not linked to the apex, no?

mighty valley
#

the 10% shield slam damage used to be while sb was up (ie always)

lusty grotto
#

there's 2

sharp gale
#

They buffed the apex and aura buff

mighty valley
#

now it’s after each tc

lusty grotto
#

harrow youre misreading it

sharp gale
#

They added the dmg reduction to apex 4

lusty grotto
#

theyre just shuffling shit around

#

phalanx 1 had way too many effects

cerulean tusk
daring narwhal
lusty grotto
#

yes

mighty valley
#

I guess the wording is ambiguous, I can’t tell if it’s saying they’re just adding that effect to current r4 OR if it’s saying that’s the only effect of r4 now

lusty grotto
#

but hey shit has happened, so im not gonna dismiss it outright

#

blizzard wording in a nutshell

daring narwhal
#

I think it's just rework 1/4 completely and 4/4 is everything currently + something new

knotty mantle
#

what in tarnation is that piercing howl change

#

for what reason

daring narwhal
#

So SS should be good damage with 4/4

gleaming spoke
lusty grotto
gleaming spoke
knotty mantle
#

Just seems like an overshoot if you compare it to stampeding roar which has like double the ms and can be talented to 1 minute

cerulean tusk
#

I fail to see how they did something to fix the problem of us not going 4/4

lusty grotto
#

its not supposed to be used like stampeding roar

#

roar is a lot more move speed anyway

#

its not a big deal

cerulean tusk
#

I am too tired i will go sleep, things will make sense tomorrow

#

Surely they fixed something

sweet egret
#

isnt 12 yards already tiny

lusty grotto
#

why is this a problem

sharp gale
#

The yard change is the weird part for me tbf

knotty mantle
#

right but clearly the addition of the mspeed was to give it some type of roar-like value

lusty grotto
#

this doesnt make or break the class

mighty valley
sweet egret
#

less movespeed, less aoe and less cd surely is ok for howl vs roar

#

instead of less movespeed, much less aoe and more cd?

lusty grotto
#

Going from absolutely no utility before midnight to having 4 utility buttons - reworking the weakest one is not a huge deal

#

if anything its a free talent point

solid sun
#

There’s a secondary post with class bug fixes

#

If anyone didn’t catch that

sweet egret
#

did they fix nerfs to howl?

toxic pewter
#

the nerf to howl actually my least fav change

#

feelsbadman

#

all around unhappy with this tuning pass

knotty mantle
lusty grotto
#

kinda feels like the dps channels are bleeding in

#

just bitching to bitch

#

OH NO NOT PIERCING HOWL

unreal yarrow
#

I wasn't really using howl more than once a pull anyway

ivory barn
#

do I need to be concerned with these bear/brew nerfs

unreal yarrow
#

It won't change its functionality for me

glad magnet
knotty mantle
#

I think non-throughput changes will probably get you more emotional responses since you can feel the difference in moment to moment gameplay through utility spells

knotty mantle
#

it feels good to dispel, speed someone up, break a root, etc... much harder to tell if 5% more or less damage made a difference

lusty grotto
#

lets go pink and close the channel, shit is fucked

mighty valley
#

i can honestly see a 30s ms group buff being stronger than you’d expect in real content

lofty warren
#

10% damage buff is still not enough. Bear is going to be doing way more damage and its not fair

solid sun
#

I’m never gonna use piercing fucking howl. Mama didn’t raise no bitch I don’t howl

unreal yarrow
#

Bear got nerfed hard didn't they?

mighty valley
#

the bear nerfs looked meaningful but idk

glad magnet
lusty grotto
#

pepega didnt read the bear nerfs apparently

#

not surprising

solid sun
#

Let’s start our own discord decoupled from dps specs

toxic pewter
#

yah bear got giga nerfed

lofty warren
#

I complained today that Pierce howl was too weak and they made it worse! Im just going to untalent it

toxic pewter
#

yeah itll prob be an untalent

mighty valley
#

pepega own up to not reading the bear nerfs

unreal yarrow
#

I still like it for gathering

mighty valley
#

take accountability

solid sun
#

Listen I’m gonna be so for real

unreal yarrow
#

And to move to new packs in places like windrunner spire

solid sun
#

I read the warrior changes and then exited the page

azure valley
#

XD

#

IDK boysss

#

not looking

sweet egret
#

but what about the second page of bug fixes?

azure valley
#

good

solid sun
#

I just saw that there were bug fixes

#

Not reading that shit

sweet egret
#

which bugs do we have?

lusty grotto
#

none

lofty warren
#

Bear with a little baby 15% nerf. Meanwhile they are doing 200% of our dps

unreal yarrow
#

Bug fixes were further nerfs to Bear if I understand them

mighty valley
#

we’re fine now, we’re getting a damage buff so we’ll be more fine

mighty valley
solid sun
#

Idk I got rolly pollies in the backyard

unreal yarrow
#

Yeah, I think we might be in a good spot

#

Not beating brew for meta, but solid

solid sun
#

Good

lofty warren
#

And this was before bear got 15% buffs through bug fixes

sweet egret
#

yesss, 0 dps +10% best day ever

lusty grotto
#

that number is pre nerf and there will be a push from mwahi to optimize the apl further

mighty valley
#

I’m gonna provide some unsourced numbers too

#

361846727262

lusty grotto
#

so those numbers are not final

mighty valley
#

36252

solid sun
#

Don’t wanna be the top tank spec. All those beginning of the expansion fotm rerollers flooding our peaceful island sounds like poop

gleaming spoke
sweet egret
#

ye better be bad all expansion long and have empty discord

#

My friends will still be here

lusty grotto
lofty warren
#

For a 30% movement increase and it uses up a gcd. Would rather 60 second and give me 100% speed increase

mighty valley
#

yeah pepega. I’d also like a million dollars

sweet egret
#

luckily running doesn't take gcds

unreal yarrow
#

exactly

sweet egret
#

so you weren't really using them anyway

unreal yarrow
#

The range change will make it miss ranged

sweet egret
lofty warren
#

Are you telling me that bear is not going to be top dps tank after these? I feel like it is.. it just won't mega mega gap other.. other regular mega gap

unreal yarrow
#

Maybe, minor either way

gleaming spoke
#

imo it's just another raidwide speed increase added to the game, increasing overall uptime of movespeed increases in the raid

vocal vessel
sweet egret
#

ye raidwide 6 yard buff

lofty warren
#

Ret paladin sims arent done

sweet egret
#

on another note, why is the campaign 17 chapters and 17 hours long?

toxic pewter
#

?

#

why not

#

campaign was great

sweet egret
#

I don't play wow to have solo rp time, don't like being forced to do so much if I want to play m+

toxic pewter
#

lol

sweet egret
#

I'm reacting to your laugh with a crying emoji

unreal yarrow
#

Didn't you do it while leveling?

sweet egret
#

I am level 86

daring marlin
toxic pewter
#

you can just queue random dungeons to level if u want

daring marlin
#

UNTIL YOU CAN DO M+!!!

mighty valley
#

the campaign is not very long

sweet egret
#

ye I can level how I want, but not play endgame content

#

it's gated

#

like a prison

toxic pewter
#

maybe that other game i forget the name is more right for you

solid sun
#

Cat didn’t do any of the campaign, hit 90, and he’s gonna do endgame content

So idk

toxic pewter
#

yeah im not entirely sure u need to do campaign i may be wrong tho

daring marlin
sharp gale
#

Fellowship is the game

toxic pewter
#

yeah maybe u want fellowship

#

tbh

#

not even joking

cuz im out there in the world personally

I am at work for hours each day

toxic pewter

right...

#

fellowship

daring marlin
sweet egret
#

this guy apb just said he is in zones

#

so I guess not him

toxic pewter
unreal yarrow
#

I think he draws a salary as official feelycrafter

ionic rock
#

They just swapped the location of the apex ? Or am i missing sum ?

ionic rock
#

Crazy changes

sweet egret
#

I canceled every single cinematic this expansion, even the start one on opening the game at launch

#

Xd

lusty grotto
#

this is gonna take me a while lol

solid dove
sweet egret
#

yes, that

lusty grotto
#

what do you want? a prize?

sweet egret

haha

lusty grotto

do keep filling us in on how you play the game, we certainly do care a lot

sweet egret
#

sorry bro

sharp gale
#

If you can ofc

lusty grotto
#

ill just link the sim

#

in a bit

deft swan
#

removing the damage reduction from rank 1

lofty warren
#

what is there to math out? isn't it just current dps * 1.1?

lusty grotto
#

no

lofty warren
#

What else is there? APL optimizations?

lusty grotto
#

no

#

im not gonna explain it to you

toxic pewter
#

lol

lusty grotto
#

i dont want a million questions

lofty warren
#

the patch notes literally just say 10% damage increase I dont understand

lusty grotto
#

of course you dont

spiral jetty
#

watching pepega terrorize multiple tank channels like an absolute pro

lusty grotto
#

hes been here for years

#

did he just join peak or something

lofty warren
#

dont call it a comeback. ive been here for years

spiral jetty
#

S tier personality

#

he's everywhere

lusty grotto
#

i was wondering how you guys were dealing with him lmao

vocal vessel
sharp gale
#

Some discords has just muted him

lusty grotto
#

lol ive heard about fel hammer

lusty grotto
#

i think directly from him tbh

urban bane
#

Wait did they just flip the first and last apex talent for us to "make it more appealing" to spec into it?

azure valley
#

yes it is badd

#

but

#

10% dmg buf

lusty grotto
#

it was overloaded wiith stuff

azure valley
#

so idk

toxic pewter
#

They want people to be using the new apex talents.. they said that before in the past

lofty warren
#

yes i think ppl were trying to not spend points on using all the apex

lusty grotto
#

so they just shifted stuff to the end to not have so many effects on the first node

#

thats kind of it

urban bane
#

yucky

sharp gale
azure valley
#

dorki

#

is talking now

#

about prot war

do you have a point with it?

not looking good? did you not read the notes?

azure valley

do i have to am i not allowed to give opinion?

#

i did

toxic pewter
#

brewmater dodged any and all nerfs basically

azure valley

if you dont agree on it

lusty grotto
#

was the piercing howl nerf way too much or something??

azure valley

that is your problem

It sounds like you dont have an opinion if you're just parroting dorki bro

Literally the only negative change to prot warrior is piercing howl cd getting tripled (oh nooooo)

sweet egret
#

also range halved

undone beacon
#

oh that too i guess

lost grotto
#

does prot stay in defensive stance or only when taking heavy dmg?

sweet egret
#

it's too much to bear

undone beacon
#

piercing howl got shot (oh noooooo)

how does it compare to the other movement speed increasing abilities

undone beacon
toxic pewter
#

whats the deal with wind rush totem

undone beacon
toxic pewter
#

hmmm

pallid quiver
#

the range is the bigger issue; 12 yards at max feels like ass

toxic pewter
#

and stampeding roar these days?

#

roar seems strongest to me

#

cant it be like 60% at 1.5 min cd

sweet egret
#

ass feels good tho?

sharp gale
toxic pewter
#

yeah 12 yards is pretty bad

pallid quiver
#

I liked it being a small movement increase on a short cd because it let you rotate melee clumps in a feel good way without being majorly enabling in terms of speed

ivory barn
#

both my fury weapons are 240 so this is fine >.<

undone beacon
pallid quiver
#

this change just makes it feel more like almost a hybrid mutant mix of a personal speed buff/kite tool and a shitty roar

toxic pewter
undone beacon
#

Guess they decided they gave warrior too many cool new toys and had to put one back in the bin

pallid quiver
#

god forbid you don't take up shout buffs with it being 6 yards

toxic pewter
#

yah

ivory barn
toxic pewter
#

gotta spend 2 points on that roar tho so that is much more expensive

sweet egret

which cool new toys exactly?

yeah i will admit this nerf to howl does seem justifed if im being honest if u compare it all

so was bear doing more dam than brew or wat

bear got nuked and brew got zero nerfs

cant even recraft it while wearing it, cap

toxic pewter

interesting lol

lusty grotto

not interesting

thats been the case since crafting 2.0

bear discord on fire rn

lusty grotto

and simplified

its not any different for us

but we cant really suggest one class over the other

mighty valley

we’re (mostly) here because we like prot warrior lol

lusty grotto
#

since we're 100% biased, at least the one-tricks in here

undone beacon
#

If you played pwarr in TWW it feels more or less the same. Our advice is always play what you enjoy, because you're probably not raiding in Limit or something

#

If you're a bleeding edge title key HOF gremlin, you dont need us to advise you peepo

lusty grotto

but then again if you are, you wouldnt be asking here

You would know in your heart

lusty grotto

anyway im working on it

#

but im ADHD so hard in here

undone beacon
#

chop chop rat

white stag
#

I don’t have as much time investment due to my career so I usually stick to delves to not be a burden on others in case RL pulls me away from a mythic+. The big factor about blood for me is that I can use my weapon for both dps and tanking, while for warrior I need different weapons.

mighty valley
#

I just do all delves in prot regardless lol

ivory barn
#

i got my missions accomplished, 240 in prot and fury

undone beacon
#

Tank delves are bis, pull the whole thing and mow em down

Prot is def good at that

stray kernel

some may prefer different stats I guess tho

If you gear as devourer DH you may not get glaives so its like kinda a thing

all warglaives have int, but int weapons dont have agi

it is obvious blizz is propping up brew to be meta tho

they saw its been too long since it was meta

Why is s red and d green? Green means go and red means stop. Shouldn’t the colors be reversed

good point

I remember when apb said prot paladin would be meta FOR SURE

i met a streamer in slayers rise

chatted with him for a while

they need a world pvper streamer

Yeah? Are you giving streamers content in slayers rise?

undone beacon
toxic pewter

like when you break it down

down to the most base level

#

why wouldnt prot pala be meta

#

think about it

solid sun

Tonight APB you should write up your feelycraft sim on how you see the tank meta now that we have tuning in

toxic pewter

prot pala is being sandbagged by the streamers

soon enough al lwill see

Write about it

We can pin it

toxic pewter

unfortuantely i cant write well

Well Harrow is a professional writer

Maybe Harrow can assist

For the good of Skyhold

toxic pewter

so youre saying I dictate

#

andd someone or somethin will put it to words on the screen

not bad idea..

so prot paladin can't be meta

why are the streamers hiding this information...?

Technically the light ||seems to be determined by whoever is wielding it|| so if APB is pure of mind, body, and soul (he’s saving himself for marriage by the laws of the goth chicks so this is real), he could still be thematically correct, Harrow

could actually see vdh make resurgence though, boomkin just got the 20% buff brings motw giga caster comp incoming

that is my most up to date prediction

too bad they murdered spriest

yeahh I saw when u typed that that is a wild nerf

So ST buff, massive AoE nerf

They’ll fix it. Every patch notes includes psychic link changes

At this point just fucking remove psychic link man

the only time it's been lower than 20% was 10.1.7, but that was with a pretty different kit

And then we just fill the land with shadow tentacles like Zerg creep

uwu?

Does shadow crash still exist

nah it was basically replaced with tentacle slam

Yeah they swapped it for tendies

How do you spread dots now

Tentacles

solid sun

Without crash

Apparently there used to be a talent where sometimes your shadowy apparitions would explode and that’s cool I want that

If they removed psychic link and went all in on ghosts being the main aoe again I wouldn’t mind

How much rage do you think Bloodsurge could possibly generate?

Tossing up removing Bloodsurge to have these 6 active at once

lusty grotto

i personally dont play bloodsurge

but

indomitable is kinda meh

ok

so

it depends on the implementation but

and i could be doing something very very wrong

27% nerf?

Damn

lusty grotto

but its looking like 10% buff

undone beacon
lusty grotto
#

old and new (this is with current gear and my own character NOT a template, most docs are using full tier sets, do not take these numbers as what they will be)

frozen cypress
lusty grotto
#

its not helping you in the way you think

#

you also chose to not include overhealing

#

there are better talents than indomitable

frozen cypress
lusty grotto
#

again

#

we're not a self sustain tank

#

what you want to look at is how you're mitigating

#

any HPS you gain is just a "nice to have"

#

its not nearly as impactful for us than other tanks

#

it will not save you otherwise

#

link the log

lusty grotto
frozen cypress
#

Which number is that one?

lusty grotto
#

anyway

#

im not gonna discuss HPS here

#

thats not our thing

frozen cypress
lusty grotto
#

feel free to grab it, but the recommendation is that its not that important

frozen cypress
#

And with overheal

#

That 56% doesn't change

lusty grotto
#

fine

#

that goes to show how much we care about HPS

frozen cypress
#

You should care, any self healing will help the healer, and that helps the DPS, and when you are running that much self healing on a single passive, one that also boosts your health, it all helps

solid sun
#

No we shouldn’t

#

We are a mitigation tank

lusty grotto
#

you help your healer more by mitigating

solid sun
#

We don’t save ourselves with healing

and it was put just at the halfway mark now in midnight

I remember, then in TWW the day of sorrows came and turbo fucked every tank.

Didn't they recently re-buff it though?

no

At any rate, Indom is a fine talent to grab, but like

it's not doing much

indom isn't terrible, there are just a lot of good talents down there

lusty grotto

its not DF good

gotta give up something to get it and it's just rarely necessary to live

lusty grotto
#

but its not TWW bad

#

right

warm plinth
lusty grotto
#

we certainly didnt talent it in TWW

warm plinth
#

It was 10% hp and 10 rage per 1% then got nerfed to 6% and 20 per 1 iirc, and now it's 10% and 15 per 1

lusty grotto
#

it was absolutely not worth

#

now it could be

#

and again it was a very static talent, we never talented out in DF

mighty valley

i think you can definitely give up 2% haste to get it lol

#

but most prot warriors would rather die

Yeah, I dropped it in TWW as the guides suggested. I just... miss it, and if it's at least playable now I want my indom safety blanket back. okayge

Having more self sustain feels nice, and 10% more hp gives dopamine, too. Some of my best memories as a warrior (or a tank more generally) are being able to take on the last boss of a key solo (after the rest of the group derps and dies when the boss is at 30%) because I'm an invincible big chungus.

As for what to drop? I dunno. sadge

you can do that

cause we're invincible WITHOUT it

good change

vivid orchid

its a buff

undone beacon
lusty grotto

at least if we interpreted it correctly

vivid orchid
#

worst case scenario is its total dogshit and confusing but thats unlikely

lusty grotto
#

yeah i dont think i would bet on the worst case scenario at this point, the buff was needed there

#

and is needed on execute, but it kinda seems they dont wanna go that route

mighty valley
#

it was just weird that the last point was barely anything, rearranging makes sense

lofty warren
#

I wish they kept the dr on point 1 so then some smarty pants could optimize and not spend all 4 points on apex

lusty grotto
#

we did optimize, all the non 4/4 were a dps loss

#

all the non 4/4 options

mighty valley
#

"i wish our talents were bad so we could take other bad talents"

lusty grotto
#

even if phalanx was not that strong to begin with

#

and needed this buff

edgy patrol
#

what do we think of the changes? will it be noticeable or insignificant?

mighty valley
#

i feel around 10% better about them

edgy patrol
#

this guy..

lusty grotto
#

they are a good bump

#

if its straight up 10% to every damage dealing ability it is in fact a 10% increase

#

if its an aura buff, its less than

#

but still a buff

mighty valley
#

it's not gonna make us the consensus best tank but it closes the gap

#

we'll be aight

edgy patrol
#

They just rearranged phalanx? I just copy the builds online I dont read the talents..

lusty grotto
#

yes

mighty valley
#

yeah basically

vivid orchid
#

yeah seems just a rearrangement

lusty grotto
#

but it doesnt matter, you were going 4/4 anyway

solid sun
#

no we are actually the best tank

#

because everyone here plays pwar and we are the best players

edgy patrol
#

Ok so we don't need to change any talents then

solid sun
#

therefore best tank

lusty grotto
#

no

#

no changing talents

edgy patrol
#

The pump continues then. Pwar feels good. It's mainly just the mob types that can shoot thru walls and can't be interrupted that are annoying for grouping

We can't all be wheelchair classes like DK/DH
