Quick question: How do you utilize Intervene (with Storm Shield Mountainthan talent)? What am I missing? I think it sucks

solid sun
#

Use multihammers instead

digital galleon
#

I do

#

ever since

lusty grotto
#

you just use storm shield if you need to intervene people for movement or whatever reason

waxen frigate
#

That’s fixed now, at least it was at home

#

They did an emergency funding bill

lusty grotto
#

yeah but it depends on the airport atm

waxen frigate
#

I literally walked straight through security in San Antonio, no waiting

lusty grotto
#

ok good shit

digital galleon
#

okay so intervene is just movement

jagged pier
#

dont even run it

#

its a waste of a talent

lusty grotto
#

it could have utility but it depends on the encounter, its very minimal and probably not worth grabbing

lusty grotto
#

ive heard it went down for sure in a lot of places, but not all of em

#

Damn why they love to nerf thane again?

they shouldn't notice a difference between thane and colossus

oh cool

but yeah im just putting that there for the guy that said their tank didnt know

toxic pewter
#

oh wow didnt know about that

#

Yeah I was pretty excited for it. I liked the addon it’s great but kind of a pain to configure lol. I still use it tho bc I hate being in wrong stance.

lusty grotto
#

the missing class buff addon also does it

#

or did

#

thats just what i get

vocal wagon
#

Sim is telling me Acuity (+STR) is about 30% more than Berserkers (+haste) for main weapon enchant, should I ignore this and follow the guide or what?

New to tanking

Anyone know of some Heroic Leap Bugs? Guildie is having consistent problems with not being able to cast it. They do use a macro but as you can see if the VOD, it comes off CD right about the time they land. They rocket jump and the Macro button and the spell on their CDM goes dark.

kk will change it thx

glacial skiff
#

Question for those of you doing higher keys, I’ve noticed some dropping talents into phalanx (like the 4th, and 2/3rd points) are they really worth dropping for survivability from stuff like indom etc?

#

And I recently noticed tough as nails is suggested (thought it wasn’t a great talent before) but did they buff it for midnight or something? Is it really good damage, threat, or both?

lusty grotto
#

mathwise it shoulnd't be the case

#

but i just got back from vacation so i cant confirm gameplaywise

#

in my experience on situations like this, the gain is very minimal and only needed if youre pushing past the current ilvl cap threshold

toxic pewter
glacial skiff
#

Oh and noticed people also using heavy repercussions. I’m guessing we’re not reaching 100% block uptime with joining the fray at these haste levels? Idk what the breakpoint is but i’m barely at like 900 unbuffed I believe.

lusty grotto
#

its 1188

glacial skiff
#

Oh yeah I’ve been fucking my healers whoops

lusty grotto
#

yeah play HR before you reach it

lusty grotto
fading dirge
lusty grotto
#

its 0.6%

#

go with haste

glacial skiff
#

No wonder I’ve occasionally just procced battle scarred when I seemed fine lol

lusty grotto
#

is my recommendation

vocal wagon
#

30% more dmg yes 999 vs 1600

toxic pewter
lusty grotto
waxen frigate
#

@lusty grotto come pick me up it’s a 2 hr metro ride deadge

lusty grotto
#

you do 0.6% more dps in the sim than berserker rage

#

with acuity

#

its right there

vocal wagon
#

i'm comapring the enchants only, a vs b

glacial skiff
#

So if I wanted to grab indom for keys would the best choice to drop be enduring alcarity or blood surge/whirling blade?

waxen frigate
#

Surely this is at least like cheap right

lusty grotto
glacial skiff
#

I’ve seen others drop punish and best served cold for points elsewhere but I feel like losing punish really guts your boss damage

waxen frigate
vocal wagon
#

like this one is +1461 vs +2357

lusty grotto
#

click the base one

#

click berserker

#

you gain 0.6% dps using acuity over berserker, thats the point

vocal wagon
#

ok thx

lusty grotto
#

either way go berserker rage

#

the difference is very minimal

#

and haste is good

#

maybe next season when we have more haste, we can swap it up (or when you get more haste this season)

Hopefully soon so we can go back to being autistic obscure one tricks

Hold up aren’t we the warriors getting nerfed?

toxic pewter
#

no..warrior is weak.. yes... def not tankier than brewmasters...

lusty grotto
#

depends, if the change goes through without protection getting removed from it

lament osprey
#

For the record, brewmaster taking 21 stacking bleeds come the adept of the dawn in Skyreach is fucking stupid.

#

Where as prot warrior 8 stacks and crying

waxen frigate

You say that like brew isn’t also notoriously fucked on by bleeds

isn't that the dot where you need to step back for like a second to drop stacks

the chud brewmaster first timer has no effect on my day

Prot warrior gotta walk it back or stun.

they will sweep or rop tho

#

like taking 21 is not optimal

#

shit hurts

#

I don’t want brew to get nerfed. I want other tanks to get buffed.

#

Why hate on them when we can join our tank brethren

tribal wharf
#

my theory is correct

#

col = healer mad

#

thane = not

outer willow

#

well the heler didnt rage out on me

lusty grotto
#

my theory is correct

#

not a colossus issue

it's easier to play colossus bad

i guess

but the solution is to not do that

Pikaboo has come online

Everyone should just play bdk

Who was it that went to nome’s guide and ripped the talent build and started doing big keys on stream

And it was just to see what would happen to aggregate sites

I’m just perusing

#

Lots of complaints about Ppal guides?

tribal wharf
#

hes mad about dh

lusty grotto
#

there's a guy that explained why they suggest the builds, and he got an upvote

#

the argument of this dumbass is

You can keep 100% uptime, but even looking at the top 10 DH only 2 or 3 didn't take this talent.

I read that post yesterday too

People acting like authorities based on assumptions

it aint anything different than what we get around here

Yup

except sadly it got upvoted because people are stupid

“I remember Max talking about this on stream, basically every class discord tank channel is terrible because they only advocate for doing more damage. Then thousands of tank players hit a wall cause they don't care about survivability cause they were told damage is king.”

Pretty much people complaining about ppal and talking about kyrasis or whoever the dk guy is

#

im going to test my personal theory again

#

that applies to me

#

and see if col makes more healers angry

lusty grotto
#

but that guy didnt even care to explain the why

ornate palm
#

Exactly.

lusty grotto
#

his "investigation" was way too shallow

solid sun
#

I’m surprised max was accused of saying this

lusty grotto
#

max does mention it

#

its not accusation

solid sun
#

I became significantly better once I started reading here and asking questions here

lusty grotto
#

it happened

ornate palm
lusty grotto
#

hell, i did it here

coarse bay
#

Ya he explained his experience 10+ years ago

#

But its an old experience and he says as much

solid sun
#

You did what here

lusty grotto
#

i said running a cheat was fucking stupid

solid sun
#

Oh

lusty grotto
#

because the context where they were running it, they were dying because of other reasons, and it was a crutch, its better for those players to identify what they died to and fix it (and more often than not these players were certainly NOT gonna check logs to see where it proc'd to fix their mistakes)

#

the problem with Max and the PoddyC on that topic is first of all what Cam said

#

it was ages ago

#

second, we're not recommending those players (dorky, dratnos, or max, or any high level player or streamer) to not do it, but also dont know if they come in with other names

#

or we weren't

yeah youre right

you just get more stuff back which is great

lusty grotto

thats exactly what i was figuring out right now, so ill just craft the blue tools andgo from there

fringe mural
#

but blue tools/accessories are enough to max craft

#

i made purple tools to get more back from crafting

#

If i craft a weapon for someone idc about the tip

#

Because i regularly get rank 2 sterling bars back from it

#

purple tool gives you about 4% more resourcefulness compared to blue

#

you also get materials back from the patron orders

SS to do the things, then press TC and Revenge go reset SS

Any excess rage is thrown into IP (rule of thumb, if over 70 rage, press IP)

Ima be honest. I was looking at logs from this weeks hc dreamrift. I hit almost all my SS, shield blocks, and avatar casts. I had zero execute casts. How bad is that?

It would make sense to be a translation thing especially since “sardine” in English is actually a word applied to something like 2 dozen species of fish

Generally for actual “sardines” it’s either brislings or pilchards

What other specs have hard silence besides us when throw+ jav(passive) and priest (they had it some point maybe it's shaow only)

solid sun
#

DH can silence

tribal wharf
#

Not, stop a spell and they are locked out of ice spell but he's ice AND earth monster so just casts earth bolt

#

The reason is loosely speaking doom

#

In doom, if it can't draw a line to fire on you monster will walk as close as it can to you

#

I'm hoping some dps have it

Everything comes to giant kill pile we can are them down fast together

i wouldnt say that here, youre gonna make us very sad and angry to losing spell block

I just wish there was, at least like a note or something in the journal that said "spell reflect" or something

rather than having to trial and error every ability 400 times to make sure there's no false positives or negatives

i mean you really dont lose anything by just pressing it

is it magic? is it on you? press it

you still get MDR

even if not reflected or deflected

if you want damage its pretty simple to understand which deals damage and which does not

Shield Charge is not optional for any talent. If you want Indomitable, you drop Tough as Nails, but it's not needed. We're not a self-sustain tank. We're a mitigating tank.

#

Hey guys! Learning prot for m+ to get my alt into more guild keys. Any tips for a first timer? I've played 2 keys and it feels like the complete opposite of blood dk

lusty grotto
#

thats because it is

#

BDK is a reaction-based tank

#

we're a preventative-based tank

#

keep Shield Block up at all times, make sure youre always facing mobs, thats the first rule

#

play Heavy Repercussions instead of Into The Fray if you do not have 1188 haste rating

#

to make sure you do not have SB gaps

lean slate
#

Do I Shield wall > Shield charge > Shield wall?

lusty grotto
#

no

lean slate
#

oh block

#

not wall

#

My b

lusty grotto
#

wall is your wall hehe

lean slate
#

SB > SC > SB?

#

To manage stacks?

lusty grotto
#

SB

#

you do not need to manage stacks

#

just keep it up, its a maintenance buff

lean slate
#

I did it again

#

gotcha

lean slate
#

Do I ever press rend with TC applying it?

lusty grotto
#

no

#

you can remove rend from your bars

lean slate
#

oh okay I got only 730 haste

lusty grotto
#

then swap that talent to Heavy Repercussions, it'll help with SB uptime

lean slate
#

oooooo

#

Okay

lusty grotto
#

the 2nd rule of prot

#

is rage management

lean slate
#

Im not rage dumping into revenge

lusty grotto
#

very important cause it'll provide cooldown reduction on your Wall and Avatar

#

you keep your rage between 30 and 70

lean slate
#

Yeah

lusty grotto
#

if you hit 70+ you press Ignore Pain

#

ok you got that part

lean slate
#

Yeah that part feels blood dk ish

#

Never be at 0

#

Always have like 50+

lusty grotto
#

never cap, never starve yeah

#

should be pretty standard resource management tbh

lean slate
#

So this is the build atm, Just came out of a seat so I took the magic DR instead of armor

#

and then I had into the fray but I swapped it for the other talent cause my haste is low

lusty grotto
#

ehhh

#

you should be playing 4/4 apex

lean slate
#

No indom?

lusty grotto
#

what key levels are you doing

lean slate
#

10-12 ish atm just to get use to it

lusty grotto
#

no indom

lean slate
#

indom is for higher keys to not get one shot by tank hits?

lusty grotto
#

no

lean slate
#

o

lusty grotto
#

its just for people that want to have some additional self-sustain, in the bleeding edge it might have an effect... but thats' extremenly debateable

#

straight up DR is much better

lean slate
#

Fair

#

How often do I press IV? is it an oh shit button or should I press it before something dies

lusty grotto
#

its an oh-shit button

lean slate
#

kk

lusty grotto
#

usually pressed if pot is on cd

lean slate
#

So what's the opener for a pack? Shield charge > Avatar > clap > Demoralizing shout ?

lean slate
#

👍

#

Does SB "pandemic"?

lusty grotto
#

no

lean slate
#

is that the right word for a buff

lusty grotto
#

you can stack its duration up to 3x times

lean slate
#

Oh wtf

#

Okay

#

I was letting it get to like .5 left before doing it again

lusty grotto
#

just be careful of pressing it too much that you lose a charge for the next pull by using it when mobs are about dead

#

and remember SC grants it also

lean slate
#

Awesome, ty for the help

lusty grotto
#

anytime HyperRatJam

lets not witchhunt the guy

you know you´re right

hes a fucking idiot and I should move on

#

he can tattoo my name on his ass or something

lusty grotto
#

yea it is what it is

#

what did he die to anyway, out of curiosity

drowsy comet
#

it was at the crawth fight, the second boss. During the Deafening Screech phase we all kept getting a big dot, I searched why and found out that casters shouldnt cast during this to avoid this dot. Our Mage ignored it and we died to this twice

lusty grotto
#

the dot does not silence

#

it does if you cast when it goes off though

drowsy comet
#

yea i just searched it, now i know how to avoid, was not fun to heal against it as the dot was hitting hard

lusty grotto
#

how was he even low in that fight on a 9 to begin with

#

lol

drowsy comet
#

this idiot didnt pop CDs

#

he was our tank, pwarr

lusty grotto
#

no need though

#

was he severely undergeared or somehting

drowsy comet
#

didnt pop CDs and kept taking huge amount of damage

lusty grotto
#

he does not need cds on a 9

#

he was doing something severely worse

drowsy comet
#

he wasnt even 250 ilvl

#

wait no

#

he was abit above 250, but yea he definetly did something wrong

#

idk why tanks feel so squishy

lusty grotto
#

its cause he was playing like an idiot

drowsy comet
#

"I will safe your name"

lusty grotto
#

savage peck deals less damage than the boss' melees in this iteration of AA

#

the only thing i can think of is that that hes one of those dudes that cant figure out SB

#

and/or he was definitely eating avoidable shit

cerulean tusk
#

You aint, but there is a lot of knowledge of what is dangerous and have a plan to handle it

Might be the #1 reason this season ppl tank once or twice, then quit

Game doesnt tell you "this is dangerous", you just die and fast suddenly.

Not exactly fun for the casual

lusty grotto

every time ppl eat avoidable damage

cerulean tusk

Logs are the only way, other than a clean VOD, to really go back and see what/why/how

Its quite useful

lusty grotto

just to be clear its not to assign blame, but to understand what things went wrong and improve upon

compact silo
#

How do you kite the bleeding mobs in Skyreach on high keys? aside from maintaining tc slow and occasional shockwave/piercing howl

lusty grotto
#

but also... sometimes you just gotta chuckle at jerks keks

cerulean tusk
lusty grotto
#

you face tank until a good number of stacks, you shockwave and you stutter step back into the boss' platform

#

dont kite all the time, you wont generate rage and that will kill you

#

just watch stacks

compact silo
#

there's a ton of those mobs in the dungeon and the bleed gets scary fast

lusty grotto
#

its not a bleed, its a fire dot

cerulean tusk

Backpeddaling aint knitring tho, it just gives a 0.5 sec extra of time frame after the CC ends

lusty grotto

yeah

thats what i meant by stutter stepping

also its back pedal

damn it cat

the only ones you gotta worry about are the ones after 1st boss really

drowsy comet
compact silo
lusty grotto
#

yeah but in that area you have a bunch more space

compact silo
#

i mean

#

yesterday i pulled the mobs before the boss platform back to the end of winds platform lol. granted, dps wasnt that good but still

lusty grotto
#

what i mean is you can just leap out -> reset -> charge in

compact silo
#

yeah i leap, howl, swave

lusty grotto
#

instead of backpedalling in a tight space etc

#

either way what cat said should still work there

#

just gotta watch stacks

cerulean tusk
#

Prob should just take inti shout and have another AoE stop

compact silo
#

howl works good too

cerulean tusk
#

Sure, but AoE slows are almost always there either way

#

A stop is just valuable and limited

compact silo

ig i'll try it next time

Good Morning guys!

I played a AA+10 last night with Prot (GS 263 atm) and was literally deleted on the first big pull. I was cycling Shield Walls with Last Stand + Demoshout, always filling with Demoshout and Shield Block on 100%. Ignore Pain feels like an absolute disaster right now cause it pops up and literally gets deleted instantly. I see other Prots doing this big pull at ease in 14/15 keys. Is there any secret i don't know yet?

The big flower mobs, throw a bleed on you. If you pull them in at basically the same time, they will cast it at the same time. So you want to do that

Once you taken a set of bleeds, and you cant have it removed by any source.

You can leap away and let it fall off, then go back in. For the set after again, intervene away.

Continue like this till they are all dead. Do remember to pop dCDs as you go back in, as the mobs are likely enraged
