Is the mythic crafting still bugged?

toxic pewter
#

wat u mean

#

damn maghar orc actually lookin sick

#

well did a dungeon and no one died. or got close to.

#

but normal means diddly squat in the scheme of things.

I had 285 ilvl item crafted for me today and it worked fine

#

any 2900 tanks na (est) want to join mythic team? (2965 resto druid here)

#

it'll make the difference psychologically

#

i hope yam is asleep

#

Why would you hope that

undone beacon
#

because sleep is important peepo

#

but most of parsing is abusing the mechanics of an encounter anyhow, so

opal ledge
#

what do you guys think about void elf teleport for making pulls?

sacred urchin
opal ledge
#

the teleport got buffed?

sacred urchin
#

Yeah

#

Void rift moves a fuck ton faster

#

It happened in...11.2.7 I wonna say?

opal ledge
#

i'm just not sure how to use it as a prot

sacred urchin
#

Point it at the next pack as the one ur finishing is dying, pop it and pull it

gentle violet
#

What are yalls take on the 4th apex talent for prot? There is quite a few good talents on the spec side that I always thought it felt bad having to stick 4 into apex. Have been playing 3 so far.

solid sun
#

I just follow the IV guide

#

has worked great

#

it takes 4/4

opal ledge
#

i like the 4th point

#

i like big hits on shield slam

#

150k on shield slam? its fun

undone beacon
#

There isnt a single point worth more you can move it into

gentle violet
#

That 5% extra DR will go hard in high keys I’m sure. Makes sense.

#

Figured.

undone beacon
#

Before when the DR was tied to the 1st point, there were theoretically builds that could give up pieces of the apex but even then it was losing a lot of damage for some marginal defensive gains elsewhere

#

If execute was good it may be a different story but

proud marlin
#

For mythics plus should i focus stats Haste > Critical Strike = Versatility > Mastery

#

anyone using knight commanders palisade crafted shield have any comments regarding the effect? ive found it quite underwhelming but then its better than a 285 shield with no effect right

rotund parcel

#

You’re almost always better just going with the generic embellishments rather than the baked-in ones

slender bison
#

Man, this season BSV is mandatory even in 10s if you wanna pull bigger

Was hoping to have both TaN and Shield block value but guess not

yeah shield default is underwhelming :(

#

will recraft

#

Are people going haste/vers or crit?

#

omg i just ruined a heroic run. feels bad

#

ffs i hit my challenging shout skill on accident while trying to grab aggro in voidspire 1st boss

#

grabbed the boss and the adds

#

-_-

#

had to leave after that everyone wasn't too happy with me since i messed up just before.

#

wanted to vent. thanks for listening

#

Things like that are what is wrong with most of gaming. There's no tolerance for mistakes, retrying, learning and getting better. What the hell man. Be lucky you didn't continue with them, because sure as hell it wouldn't have been a fun time running a damn game with them, even if it's about progression. Rant over

#

So do not worry on trying to grab aggro

#

They will get to ya

gray pecan
#

Ok so no need to taunt at all. Makes sense

narrow prawn
#

After the third add gets free, it will cast a debuff on you

#

So just use your thunderclap to deal some damage and keep the aggro after the debuff goes off

#

And use your defensives

#

Cause if you don't have a high ilvl, their hits will hurt a lot

#

Demoralizing Shout and Shield Wall combo

gray pecan
#

Right on. Thank you piccolo

narrow prawn
#

you're welcome

wicked pollen
#

what should i drop to get crackling thunder?

ruby berry
#

Bounding stride, max rage, Shockwave cd redux, 10% more healing. Whatever you'd like.

bronze wraith
#

I finally beat the nemesis ??. All it took was 10 more item level and 2 piece bonus

lament osprey
#

This combo i like holy

shy python
#

Academy, the trash between Vexamus and the main plaza: all casts are being interrupted, all defensivess are up (Shield Block, Ignore Pain), the fight is on (mobs are at 40-60% HP), and I’m sitting comfortably at 80-100% HP. No big dmg Spikes. Suddenly, out of nowhere, I take a massive hit and drop to 20-30% HP.
​Unfortunately, I haven't been able to check the logs yet.

I heard of another tank making similar experience. Can you guys say anything about this?

lament osprey
#

gotta stun the corrupted manafiends

#

I know the battleaxes used to apply bleed but now its just straight arcane damage per hit

#

You can go in the MDT and right click the mob and see their abilities to check and confirm with warcraft logs if this is true

shy python
#

Yeah I have to study Logs etc next time. I'm here just to see if this happend to anyone else

hello !
Icyveins says this is the initial rotation for AoE, does anyone know why revenge and not shield slam ?

wicked pollen
#

revenge is aoe

#

shield slam without your apex is not

silent shard
#

And as @wicked pollen said, Shield Slam without your apex talent is just a ST ability, so you didn't get too much aggro for AoE

shy python
wicked pollen
#

sir im going to be honest

#

i have never looked at the robot for prot

shy python
#

Even of we sit on multiple charges

wicked pollen
#

i have 0 clue

slate void
#

but using Thunder blast gives you the apex talent for the next shield slam, so wouldn't it be better to shield slam and then use revenge ?

wicked pollen
#

i mash my keybaoard

silent shard
#

You cast Revenge, because Shield Charge gives you a free revenge

#

It's more wide than the apex

#

So better for getting aggro

#

Ofc dmg wise better to do TB and Shield Slam

wicked pollen
#

but aggro > damage

silent shard
#

But when you pulling more groups together

#

Better to do that revenge

silent shard
#

Keeping aggro is above everything

wicked pollen
#

your damage as tank is irrelevant compared to your dps living

slate void
#

that's right, i didn't know the range was wider on revenge

silent shard
#

And the article is just for starters, after time you get your own style

silent shard

#

hi everyone, i jsut checked wowhead and archon.gg to see rotation. they dont use shield block at all? just spam ignore pain as much as possible

ruby berry
#

I'm sure both of those imply as close to 100% uptime on shield block as possible while actively tanking.

coarse bay
#

ya im not sure if they consider it rotational

#

it'll be highest priority when getting hit, and still high when not

lime reef
#

i see alright thanks!

#

have a good night

charred shard
#

Im hesitant between the 285 craft of shield or weapon. I'm tented to go weapon because wprot is already tanky enough and want to max to 288 with weekly vault the shield, but at the same time there is not a single shield with Haste+Crit in the entire lootpool, while the hast+crit 1h is fairly accessible in M+ seat (i'm doing mostly m+). Any reco ?

The self heal booster

#

I dont even know if it is fixed yet

wym

cerulean tusk
#

It used to be bugged, giving only value on VR

#

Maybe it still is. It is quite pointless

wicked pollen
#

in theory leech and self heal multiply off wach other

#

no?

Didnt even work on 2nd wind last time things was checked

Just skip it, dont worry

does nightmare prey itself give heroic gear or does it give the item that lets you get a map in delve that is heroic itself

#

Is there a minimum haste cap to have 100% block shield uptime?

#

So do the bosses need weakauras

#

I haven’t watched any of the mythic bosses, but I’m wondering if Blizzard successfully designed their bosses with the addon purge in mind

cold pilot
#

If I'm in full hero gear, whats the point of holding crests?

drowsy comet
#

love doing keys with pugs and DPS standing in every puddle and killing the whole party smh

coarse bay
#

but we dont have the last 2 bosses yet

#

most bosses so far have been 10 pull bosses for the guilds doing them

solid sun
# coarse bay so far it seems like an easy raid

One of the things I remember was the higher end raiding community praising the loss of weakauras because they said they didn’t really wanna use those things anyway and only did because they needed to

#

But it kinda looks like all three of the RWF guilds are still using them

coarse bay
#

there arent weakauras telling you what to do or assigning roles

#

so u need to actually pay attention to if u get something and make a decision

#

but reminders and timers are all still there

solid sun
#

Gotcha

coarse bay
#

they havent had many mechanics that stand out for that

solid sun
#

Isn’t that what max is there to do. Be the timeline and reminderer

coarse bay
#

itd be something like paladins soaks, something assigning where to go and splitting groups accordingly or something

#

ya RL is the dbm

solid sun
#

It seems like they made an easy raid and made all these addon changes just for the big three guilds to still end up using all the same stuff

sharp gale
#

But Blizz will nerf the raid before it matter

solid sun
#

So there are mechanics that require weakauras

sharp gale
#

The paladins dispels

solid sun
#

That’s unfortunate

sharp gale
#

they will likely nerf that

#

They have kick WA for saladbar kicks but not required at all

deft fulcrum
#

I might be late to the party but I've been doing a little tanking to make keys fast. And personally I feel like the 4set absolutely sucks. Am I alone in this ?

rough nest
#

Got it yesterday, haven"t tanked any key since. Is it just a free revenge proc ?

coarse bay
#

it's just some free damage

#

first season of expansion tier sets are usually underwhelming.

deft fulcrum
#

Yeah agree. But I think most of the dps ones are actually decent well I like the fury one anyway. A similar effect on reducing the cooldown on shield charge would be very nice imo.

tribal wharf
#

from a noob perspective it is seen as big boost that your major dmg CD is increased by 100%

#

just the way its worded

#

save 50%

#

everyones excited

#

its like how in nexus you get 300% dps

#

for more than 2 seconds

#

who the hell doesnt want that

solid sun
#

Me

#

No crutches

tribal wharf
#

nope

solid sun
#

I want to see what I can do on my own merit

tribal wharf
#

whatever do biggest dmg output from me and my team

solid sun
#

Not after getting boosted by some light show

tribal wharf
#

i will ALWAYS take that option and go the nuclear route

#

that, and first boss of nexus

#

ppl randomly die, mostly to the orb crash it seems

#

and i wonder how much of that is me placing boss right, and marked doing its job

tribal wharf
#

seems like it has big potential to be insta wipe on tyranical 10-15s lol

vast epoch
#

So close to the good one fml xd

#

Imagine getting march one and its this instead plume

fallen fern
#

Talking about trinkets, how good are the Darkmoon trinkets if crafted at 285?

#

Looking at Bloodmallet they seem to be pretty good

tribal wharf
#

doesnt seem like a horribly bad trinket

#

but i wouldnt really be excited to equip

vast epoch
#

No way that shield won't break

#

Nah i am not using this dw

tribal wharf
#

or, i would put that on, if you want to be slightly more live more

#

old me would want it for "311 haste" disregarding proc and 12 seconds

vast epoch
#

If the haste would always procc would be fun

tribal wharf
#

once every 30 seconds ish

#

so, you will have the buff 40% of the time at random

vast epoch
#

I will never have it

#

Cause i will take 41 k dmg

tribal wharf
#

so, you could probably have 311 haste, at random mind you, 30% ish of the time

vast epoch
#

Staying with 250 heart and the main stat on use pvp trinket with 1 min cd and crit as constant stat

tribal wharf
#

come on more patron orders

#

hang on i got some similiar trinkets, 1 sec

#

i have this on warrior

vast epoch
#

That globule definettly looks much more fun than the egg

tribal wharf
#

and then i have this on brew

chrome falcon
#

Is it literally just gear? I don't want to just blame gear but i'm actually getting fucking owned and i think i'm pretty good at this game

tribal wharf
#

which i desperately want for warrior

#

for "defensive"

#

read , versa , set

chrome falcon
#

oh i was running HR the whole night

#

on a boss that melee swings 10 times in the entire encounter

#

ok honestly ignore me my talent setup is griefing hard

tribal wharf
#

no worries

#

just be sure to add "raid" and "keys" to your build name

#

or HR ITF or some shit some abbreviation of abilities u took

chrome falcon
#

I still don't get why the gap is that big off like two different talent choices and 8 ilvls

solid sun
#

He slammed more

#

You clapped more

#

But not by a ton

chrome falcon
#

yeah i guess he got 12 more slams in 1 minute shorter encounter

#

well his fight is 1 min shorter lol

jagged pier
#

Casts

#

Talents

pale sequoia
#

yo! how terrible is though as nails? i dont see anyone using it

chrome falcon
#

tough as nails is way overtuned

jagged pier
#

Crit luck a bit maybe

chrome falcon
#

every build should have that talent i think

jagged pier
#

Hard to tell on phone

#

But they have 4 more ss cast per mintue than h and 1 more cpm of tc at least

#

Over a fight thats a bit

pale sequoia
#

idk how you tested it, was on 12/13 and it bassicaly does nothing

chrome falcon
#

it should be doing like 5% of your damage

#

that's pretty good for a passive halfway up the tree

sharp gale
chrome falcon
#

like wtf else are you gonna pick, deep wounds? sudden death?

pale sequoia
#

ah i guess we have a different perspective on overtuned 😄

jagged pier
#

Every prot i know is running it

#

Its broken

chrome falcon
#

mmm in the sense that mine is right and yours is wrong yeah

#

sorry that was rude

#

but yeah

jagged pier
#

To much damage for 1 point

chrome falcon
#

tough as nails is one of the best talents on the whole tree

#

unfortunately

jagged pier
#

And is more damage than execute + execute talent even on st

chrome falcon
#

thank you blizzard i love our talent tree 🙂

tribal wharf
#

call it what it really is

#

d2 pala thorns

chrome falcon
#

idk i do suck though alas

pale sequoia
#

what content are you playing exactly? mythic prog or m+?

jagged pier
#

I mean hes running masscre and hardly presses execute

#

So he could change talents and do more damage

sharp gale
#

Likely better prot too, just lazy to check on phone tho sorry

#

Timeline / replay is cursed on little screen

chrome falcon
#

yeah nah if i could go back in time 10 minutes and actually look at my talents before babyraging i would do

#

very obvious where my mistakes are (the talent tree lol)

#

as long as im pressing buttons basically correctly idc

jagged pier
#

Well as i said its not just talents

#

Your cpm is down bad

chrome falcon
#

how so

#

too many TCs or just low numbers in general

jagged pier
#

Both

#

More tc than SSs

#

1 less tc a min than that guy

#

And 4 less SSs a min than that guy

#

U dont play apex

chrome falcon
jagged pier
#

U literally just send ss

chrome falcon
#

ah ok

#

that makes more sense

jagged pier
#

But hes also running hr

chrome falcon
#

oh

#

what

#

why is he doing that lol is he also stupid?

jagged pier
#

As i said

#

He can have better talents

#

And do more

#

Masscre is also dead

#

He had that

chrome falcon
#

i picked massacre he didn't

jagged pier
chrome falcon
#

does phalanx damage just not show up in logs?

#

or is it baked into SS

jagged pier
#

Its under sheid slam

chrome falcon
#

ah ok dropdown i see

#

this guy seems to be playing around phalanx as well though

#

it was a higher % of his damage

jagged pier
#

He doesnt

chrome falcon
#

so how is phalanx a higher % of his damage that's confusing

jagged pier
cedar kite
#

maybe its the ilvl difference

chrome falcon
#

nah

sharp gale
#

Yeah he is 270

chrome falcon
#

i mean yes to some extent but

#

i can't analyse and improve that so why worry about it

#

it actually looks like i have more haste too so idk

sharp gale
#

He does 8% more dps than you just by ilvl

jagged pier
#

I mean relatively he has more casts per mintue of both

#

So he will relativley have more phalanx

#

So it will be higher

chrome falcon
cedar kite
#

so hes just always using abilities

sharp gale
cedar kite
#

vs you not using abilities

jagged pier
#

I mean he also had 20 vo procs versus your 22 in a mintue longer fight

chrome falcon
#

ok well how does that happen

#

because i wasted 2 rage and he was like 140

#

i guess just the cpm thing again

jagged pier
#

Well when u generate 85 more rage a mintue it adds up

chrome falcon
#

hmm

#

is there a skill element to getting burst of power procs

#

this dude got 19 and i got 10

#

and my fight was a minute longer

toxic pewter
#

is he using

chrome falcon
#

no

toxic pewter
#

almost double the amount does seem kinda high.. hmm

#

like if it was 2 or 3 thats prob rng

tribal wharf
#

no

#

we use the other one cuz 3 rage per lightning strike

toxic pewter
#

yah 3 rage one much better

chrome falcon
#

yeah idk if this dude got 27 more free shield slam procs

#

that makes a bit of difference

jagged pier
#

It can

#

Even last tier we were and rng spec

#

And the ome before that

toxic pewter
#

didnt realize the swings were upwards of 100% tho ddamn

#

that wild

chrome falcon
#

yeah i haven't really stressed too much about my parses since dragonflight

jagged pier
#

But still haveing more tc casts than ss casts is wrong

chrome falcon
#

burst of power is too stupid

chrome falcon
toxic pewter
#

thee other guy had more clap casts I take it?

#

cuz the def will proc lightning strikes more right

jagged pier
#

All skill gone

chrome falcon
#

no SS procs lightning strikes not tc

#

right?

toxic pewter
#

na revenge tc and exe

jagged pier
#

ss doesnt

toxic pewter
chrome falcon
#

oh idk i should read our talents at some point

#

this class is so fucking boring

That maxroll guide needs to be updated

#

I went to it to answer the question and saw so many question marks lol

not updated 2 weeks

coarse bay

Ya i just remembered it being talked about and i told my guild’s warrior

solid sun
#

How’s he doing

#

Has he started killing it

coarse bay
#

U mean tank? He’s doing good

#

Big brew energy though

tribal wharf
#

someone in my group ask me why i leaping for charge

#

then i realized i was doing it

#

and give him explanation i was being messy with it

#

funny how being called out breaks behavoirs

Someone called me out and called me bad

Then i became good

# jagged pier Y?

In AA are you doing the full plant room, full book room at the arcane boss, and a giga pull at the end?

#

Or are these twerps griefing

coarse bay
#

Scary

solid sun
#

Because these pulls do not seem to be working

jagged pier
#

I dont do the pull at rhe end

#

But the other 2 yes

coarse bay
#

I just copied yoda’s route wicked

#

No big pull at end either

solid sun
#

My bear friend is ready to quit

#

He died three times in a row to plants

toxic pewter
#

what is the best way to pull the end in aa

#

like those knights do giga dam

#

how many should i have at one time max

coarse bay
#

I did the 3 at stairs alone, then 2 at door into boss

toxic pewter
#

ok

solid sun
#

Idk stealth pot it and pull other stuff. The spinny idiots can kick rocks

toxic pewter
#

that is kinda what i do

solid sun
#

You pulled the spinny idiots into the boss

coarse bay
#

Ya

toxic pewter
#

i do a skip of the 2 snake guys after bird boss

solid sun
#

My entire friends list would evict me

toxic pewter
#

so i sort of have to pull at end

coarse bay
#

I skipped one snake dude

#

Pull everything else

toxic pewter
#

ya doin just 1 is actually prob better

solid sun
#

I feel like every AA change made it worse

#

Bleed added to plant room, can’t Los snakes, spinny idiots

#

My friends quitting

coarse bay
solid sun
#

Yeh

#

We finished an AA with 30 seconds left

#

Pulling all the plants is good I promise

toxic pewter
#

did they change aa final boss

#

cuz i swear it is shooting little ball orbs more than it used to or something

#

whole room is flooded with them

coarse bay
#

That boss can suck my booty

#

Kindly

solid sun
#

Does that mean your group is getting more stacks

#

And dropping more pools

toxic pewter
#

I think so

solid sun
#

Maybe it’s the group doing oopsies

coarse bay
#

I fought boss on wall and moved it around room

toxic pewter
#

yeah i move her around a lot

plush tendon
#

last boss AA I just bring her to a corner

solid sun
#

And leave her there forever

plush tendon
#

team drops pools in that corner and then we shift to next corner

solid sun
#

Oh

plush tendon
#

but that trash before last boss in AA is aids now

coarse bay
#

Ya it helps to be stacked wherever u do it

plush tendon
#

that used to be the EZ count

solid sun
#

It’s all bad dude

#

Some of it kinda just my squad being new

plush tendon
#

well, in a 10 yesterday I did just end up pulling all of it

#

from the stairs to the door at once

#

XD

solid sun
#

But the snakes are lame now, apparently the birds hurt, the book arena seems worse

plush tendon
#

was totally fine

solid sun
#

You pressed a lot of death strike

#

And out healed everyone forever

plush tendon
#

my DK feels tankier

#

still rocking 237 pantaloons

but its fine

Augusto standing in spinny idiot to get more death strike value

#

if purg dont pop, I dont move

#

Are you doing vampire tree or cold tree

plush tendon
#

DB

#

San is really restrictive

solid sun
#

I don’t like cold much

#

Shame

#

Guess I won’t level dk

plush tendon
#

I think it has higher damage potential

#

but ease of use is important to me

coarse bay
#

I like layn too

solid sun
#

You get an extra button as the cold one

#

Way too hard

#

Wait do you

#

I forget

coarse bay
#

Yes

#

But optimal/correct vampire gameplay is cursed

solid sun
#

No more tombstone though

#

Maybe I should level bdk

Hey guys. Was wondering if you could help me with something. I'm one of those people who SUCKS at making macros lol. What would the macro be for a button to swap between Defensive Stance and Battle Stance? Like can I put it on Control + Mouse Button 5 for example, and it'll switch between each both stances on the same button? Like from one stance to another and back?

solid sun
#

It was my favorite in DF

coarse bay
#

I wish i could help but i havent left defensive stance in years

solid sun
#

Macros under faq

#

The first one has the stance one

hoary sluice
solid sun
#

No

coarse bay
solid sun
hoary sluice
#

good looking guys. much appreciated!

solid sun
#

Cam is right though

#

I’m a firm d stance supporter

hoary sluice
#

it's just a small improvement i'm going to work on. would like to eek out as much damage as possible, so finding moments to swap between would be good. and it's helpful if it's on one button so i can do it quickly to make it easier.

#

i'm pretty solid at cat weaving still, so comparatively it's not too much extra mental stack

#

and just know, even though it doesn't let me, i'm thumb upping your posts in my heart. 😂

#

Feel like lot of tank swaps keep the OT with a hefty debuff or dot. Not sure leaving defensive stance is the right call in most fights this tier

#

Good for questing tho

hoary sluice
#

not in most of them. but definitely some spots when i take almost no damage. i take very little damage it seems to begin with on most fights. think i rarely drop below 75% hp.

#

and when i dont' have aggro or debuffs, would be good to get a bit more damage in

hidden sinew
#

Idk in voidspire, bosses 1, 2, 3 all have debuffs with dots or + damage taken. Bosses 4 and 5 you’re never off tanking. Haven’t tried 6 yet

#

I’m with you in concept tho. Parses are parses 🫡

Yeah it’s a brutal pull. You can survive it for a bit but it’s kind of a dps check

#

What key level are you in

timid wigeon
#

12

How close is your timer on an 11

#

Because if you can spare extra time it may be worth it to just not do the whole pull

Yeah, i dont know why they add Turbo in 4 weeks if everybody is so over M+ by then

undone beacon

I mean, they're not doing a turbo boost in the same way as before so its not a big deal but still

slender bison
#

Yeah, its more like turbo min-max for BiS hunt. But BiS for what? Your main will be over-saturated by then due to current content difficulty being so low

#

You can use voidforge on alts I guess

So they dont need to nerf mechanis to much

stats wise, is there a soft/hard haste cap? like 25%? 30%? or just as much as humanly possible? lol

There is not. We reccomend simming your character

There are meaningful diminishing returns thresholds but we ain't reaching them this patch

I wonder how puggable M is this time

Since people are saying it’s so easy

Is it like easy for the crazy good guilds

First 3 probs

Maybe dreamrift

Or is it easy generally too

jagged pier

Its easy for the top guilds

But thats always the case for like the first 6-7 anyway

#

And easy, but can stack 4 hunters and 3 warlocks

there are still mechanics that will destroy pugs, the inc damage just seems way too low for rwf healers

ok good to know! thanks

OKAY, garfrost is a bit tricky

we wiped to him on 6 some how (EOD hero track gear, dodges fort)

Which video guide would y'all recommend for someone that has never played warrior, I'm not familiar with content creators besides dorki when it comes to tanks and he doesn't have one for warrior yet

i like his content

he has indom in one of his builds tho, generaly we dont take that

mighty valley

his description of the rotation is pretty bad

slow pilot
#

I filled tank on heroic for saladbar, ended up solo tanking him from 20-30 million HP

and once for a half phase at like half hp, had to brez the other tank

Compared to last season

I did my pantaloons

i am team send all crests

I was also asked to main swap from Pal to DK

so I didnt get the benefit of our splits

For raid tank?

tribal wharf

i dont care at this point personally

i just send em

plush tendon
#

potentially may be asked to go Prot War

#

at some point

coarse bay
#

Im keeping up my warrior and i might have to do my dk

#

But i havent even leveled it

plush tendon

all depends on tuning right now though

we did Mythic Voracious last night

and shit was trucking me on DK

granted I was like I level 260

but still

Tbf when our tanks were asked to prep and upkeep bdks, there wasnt supposed to be a chance of me tanking

doesnt help me that thane fury has rend and not clap in 1button rotation

not that i use that thing

plush tendon
#

we will kill Chim first thing on Monday

and prob Saladhar

tribal wharf
#

i use it to try to get idea of what to cast next for dps

plush tendon
#

but the first four mythic fights we are doing will be free by next reset

#

and thats a promise

tribal wharf
#

not for tank

#

i will add

plush tendon
#

you dont need one button

tribal wharf
#

i dont i promise

plush tendon
#

if you playing fury, just slam button

#

zug zug

#

no think

tribal wharf
#

it would go on mouse wheel button if it were

coarse bay
#

Ya we dont have our raid night till monday and we’ll be heading to mythic

tribal wharf
#

i do more dps as a ww

#

than fury

coarse bay
#

We’ll be pretty boosted by m+ all week

plush tendon
#

theres a healer dispell

#

and dps have to full focus the add

#

second boss just be ethical and do call outs for the add drops to break walls

#

and chim, if you get there, be super diligent about fear casts

#

and, as a war, spec into your fear remove thing

tribal wharf
#

he means that

#

different from default

#

rage is you

#

shout is ally

plush tendon

yea, the one for the squad

there are two fear adds in the intermission

I think our roster for myth will he pushed tonight

solid sun
#

I really worked hard on my war paint design

#

Think it looks legit

coarse bay
solid sun
#

Mandl doesn’t seem very excited about bdk

#

But Augusto acts like bdk is strong

#

I wonder if Mandl is being too critical

plush tendon
#

BDK isn’t great, but it’s perfectly viable

coarse bay
#

I think it’s more the feel

#

It feels kinda clunky

#

But it’d need like a full rework

plush tendon
#

Blood is a spec that I think blizzard is still trying to work out how they want it to play

#

At least for raid, my biggest gripe is ST damage and just general tankiness

#

For keys… well I could probably write a 100 page dissertation on that

#

Still totally fine doing weekly 12s

solid sun
#

The playstyle doesn’t translate to infinitely scaling content

#

Because eventually you just go splat

#

Generally faster than mitigation tanks

#

But that isn’t necessarily a bad thing

#

Just depends if you need every tank to be able to do the highest possible key or not

plush tendon
#

Mit tanks have a much more predictable damages intake profile

#

It’s why you hear healers be super happy they have a war or brew

#

But with BDK you gotta let Jesus take the wheel

solid sun
#

Well

#

If a healer is used to healing a bdk I think that vibe kinda lessens right

plush tendon
#

They learn they have no power

#

Throw hots on, and wait for a external call

solid sun
#

I do think sometimes there are tanks that don’t care at all about like pushing the limit of what they can do and are completely content to just do weekly 12s for the most part

#

BDK can really shine in that category of tank player

#

Just optimizing those routes and gameplay in that level of key.

plush tendon
#

all specs are capable of doing 12s

#

but balance really only comes into question when pushing limits

#

for the vast majority of players, you can play whatever you want with whatever you want

#

as long as you understand the general idea of your class and spec and have a vauge idea of the content youll be good

solid sun
#

Yeh I think everyone knows everything can do 12s

plush tendon
#

like I aint gonna throw a fit that a brewmaster can tank a 12 better then me

#

like, whoop di doo

#

we both can do it

solid sun
#

I think most people can say the same thing about world first keys too though

peak iron
#

is shield specialization not worth it despite the block value increase?

plush tendon
#

naw, those world first keys are insane

#

thats where balance and comp start mattering

solid sun
#

Idc that x class can do world first keys. Whoop di doo. I don’t even wanna do ‘em

plush tendon
#

true

#

balance, for the vast majority of the playerbase, is pretty damn good

opal ledge

i'm so tempted to change race to earthen to get 3.5% physycal damage reduction x.x

I might get yelled at

#

but I run BSV over shield spec

peak iron
#

i was just looking at one of the top prot m+ runs and it looked like he sac'd shield spec to put a point in TaN so i wasnt sure if that was standard

solid sun
#

That’s crazy

peak iron
#

granted it looks like china realm and they do crazy stuff over there

plush tendon
#

thats prob fine tbh

#

its a prio on damage over tankiness

tribal wharf
#

why not tremor totem it or did that get removed

#

this fear thing

plush tendon
#

I did the same thing last season

#

dropped shield spec for increased bleed damage XD

solid sun
#

Yeah don’t listen to August

#

Does not represent everyone else that is smart

peak iron
#

i figured it was a pretty substanital tradeoff

plush tendon
#

you can see the trade off on your character sheet

#

its like 4% phys dam mitigation

#

if memory serves me right

whats the average gain from TaN in a key?

the flex point for BSV is bloodsurge, BB or Tan depending what u have

That's why they should put the sweat ppl whose job it is to do wow into tournament realm, crank the difficulty up to 1000, and for everyone else give easy/semi soft bosses.

you can either doom or cope those are the two options here

or just making assumptions about things you dont know

totally wasnt i zoome out my camera

that cant have been it right

if you make any claim about QD you are by definition making an assumption thats what we are all doing

#

some are assuming it will be a lot harder some are assuming it will be more of the same with only a marginal increase in difficulty

coarse bay
#

We know nothing about the part of the raid that actually matters

#

When has the race been decided

#

By middle bosses

#

All guilds will be on equal ground by the time the race starts

lofty warren
#

Racers should be put into tournament realm, blizz crank the difficulty up to 1000 or add a whole bunch of unfair mechanics as they please, and for everyone else give easy/semi soft bosses.

The racer ppl would actually probably like that too bc then they wouldnt have to spend all their time selling carries so they can buy all the boes at the start.

Blizz wouldnt be forced to make raids unfair to satisfy the race ppl at the expense of e eryone else

coarse bay

Theyll all run splits and gear

when have the first 7 bosses all been taken down in like 100 combined pulls lol

not even a mid-raid wall or prog boss
