Oh over capping. Got it. Thanks man

warm plinth
#

And our entire gameplay loop requires us to spend rage, so any rage we waste by overcapping can't be fed into the loop.

#

No problemo

timber ledge
#

are u doing myth raid? nimchip. If u are, could u dm or tell me ur character name so i can check some good logs

#

seems u know a lot of the class

lusty grotto
#

im not atm

timber ledge
#

ou

lusty grotto
#

my guild is currently reforming so we're behind a little bit

sharp rover
lusty grotto
#

just search Sense Tichondrius

timber ledge
#

im raiding with brew but i wanted to give prot a try

warm plinth
#

Yeah, Sense always has logs you can look at and he's very good

timber ledge
#

and i did today hc raid even smoother than i usually do w monk

#

to gear it

lusty grotto
#

Master Sense is a top tier one-trick and youll never get some cheesing out of him

#

just proper play

timber ledge
#

Sense Tichondrius on youtube?

warm plinth
#

On WCL

lusty grotto
#

if you search WCL leaderboards youre gonna have cheese monkeys

timber ledge
#

ye ik

#

thats why i asked here

lusty grotto
#

so def dont follow that other's person's advice

warm plinth
#

On youtube he's SenseNurfed

timber ledge
#

ik people hard pad to be top 100

lusty grotto
timber ledge
#

as brew it feels the same

#

i mean i can get 60k on averzian myth

#

and its still a 57 xD

#

i go check top1 log

#

full dmg small adds

stoic hound
lusty grotto
#

just to be clear im not 100% sure plka is playing warrior, but when he is, he is also good

timber ledge
#

okey so

#

i thought before IP was the most important part aside shield block

#

i should focus my defensives on

lusty grotto
#

its secondary to SB

timber ledge
#

big uptime on shield block, using good shield slam and shield wall?

lusty grotto
#

high APM on SS

timber ledge
#

oke

#

always prio SS over thunder slam procs?

#

or whatever its called

#

idk exact names of the spelss sorry

warm plinth
lusty grotto
#

TB prio, but it can go either way really

timber ledge
#

so for example

#

if i get both procs same time

#

doesn't matter right?

lusty grotto
#

TB first

timber ledge
#

oka

#

and outside procs

#

always ss?

#

to make it go cd

lusty grotto
#

TB > SS > TC > Rev/Exe (for SS resets only, execute only as Thane and in pure ST)

timber ledge
#

also I'm using avatar at cd

#

idk if thats good or not

lusty grotto
#

yes thats fine

timber ledge
#

will read the wowhead guide if its good so i refresh my mind

lusty grotto
#

its not good

timber ledge
#

seems very safe for raid right?

lusty grotto
#

use the icy veins guide

timber ledge
#

the spec

timber ledge
stoic hound
timber ledge
#

alright*

#

yup yup appreciate it

#

i think i will progress better with war than brew

#

in raid

#

Oh yeah and a last question

#

Guides recommend first 2 crafts wep shield

#

should i follow that or adapt to my gear?

#

as i geared it this week, no myth vault from the week before yet and didnt craft anything

lusty grotto
#

but should be consistent with the icy veins guide

timber ledge
#

ye i mean

#

i know its advised the wepp shield

#

jsut asking personal opinion

#

as im some weeks late into the character

lusty grotto
#

it doesnt matter

timber ledge
#

and i already got hc one hand

#

maxed out

lusty grotto
#

it doesnt matter

timber ledge
#

blindly

#

oke

lusty grotto
#

we always go ilvl > all on shields and weapons

timber ledge
#

ye

lusty grotto
#

so does virtually every class

timber ledge
#

i wss thinking on crafting belt as it was champ and my weapon was maxed out hc so i didnt lose the hc crest i blindly wasted

#

but yeah if wep better i do wep shield

#

could even do the 3 i think

lusty grotto
#

yeah you'd be down 240 myth crests but sure

timber ledge
#

i didnt waste 1 yet

lusty grotto
#

do read the fine print on the shield craft, especially if you have 1st boss on farm

#

myth shield > crafted shield

#

myth weapon > crafted weapon

#

but myth weapon comes from saladbar

timber ledge
#

maybe should i just give a try to pugging first one just in case i get it before i craft? 🤔

#

will do tomorrow

lusty grotto
#

oh i thought you were doing myth with your guild

timber ledge
#

ye

#

but w main

lusty grotto
#

i see

timber ledge
#

until i swap im raiding with monk

#

we going Tuesday chima and saladbar

#

as war was 260 today

#

and monk is 274

severe star
lusty grotto
#

best weapon is the highest ilvl you can get

severe star
#

yeah true sorry

#

for bosses how do you split ignore pain/revenge all my boss parces suck

lusty grotto
severe star
#

I hit ignore pain too much it seems

grim zinc
#

Yeah I'm already learning a ton from the discord channel.

severe star
#

Im very sure hitting ignore pain 13 times per minute is not ideal based off this metric

loud rune
severe star
#

I think im doing it because I wasnt confident in either myself or in my healers but I dont do it in m+ which is weird

uneven snow
#

since WA isnt a thing anymore is there a customizable resourcebar? i want it to change color if rage >= 70

severe star
#

If I can maybe ill change the rage colour after 70

lusty grotto
#

rage consumption is faster if you use IP

lusty grotto
coarse bay
#

There are addons that can change color of your resource bars at certain levels, but 70 isnt a hard number, just dont cap

subtle whale
#

had the same thing in raid! i couldnt be healed all night (although not warior, but dk. im scouring everything for more instances of it happening and information)

severe star
lusty grotto
#

7% more what

coarse bay
lusty grotto
#

cam you wanna key?

severe star
#

that doesnt answer the question but damage

coarse bay
lusty grotto
coarse bay
#

In 1-2 days

#

Yes

lusty grotto
coarse bay
#

The other day when u were back and i asked if u were keying

#

I was waiting in lfg looking to snipe you

#

But i think u were with guild

timber ledge
#

one more question nimchip

coarse bay
timber ledge
#

for example if im off tanking in raid

#

shall i just swap stance?

#

when not actively tanking

lusty grotto
#

you can

#

its good to do so in raid, but just remember to swap to dstance when you taunt

#

or just before it

timber ledge
#

ye ye

#

thx

#

ending the icy guide

#

helps a lot tho

#

seems i was missplaying a lot

severe star
#

I know tank parces arent the most on boss fights but Im glad that I acutally do some decent damage now

lusty grotto
#

parsing is always good

severe star
#

makes me feel a little dumb that im 8/9 on hero already

coarse bay
#

Parsing is one of the most fun things to do in raid when its just reclears

#

Just dont make it your personality

#

Sometimes if i know my parse is cooked i contemplate jumping off the platform

#

And praying for a wipe

lusty grotto
#

calm down Growl

severe star
#

Just seeing alot of green made me feel a bit bad if I ever get mad over my parses ill drop the game

coarse bay
#

Wait does growl do that

#

What a chad

lusty grotto
#

he doesnt but he prays for it

#

there was a clip of him praying in styx

coarse bay
#

Lmao

#

Our priest was like 5 globals late for mass dispel on paladins this week

#

And it absolutely ruined me

#

And i almost jumped off

coarse bay
#

A lot of raid tanks get complacent, but at least for dps players they live and breath parses so there’s more pressure to improve

#

By a lot of raid tanks i mean ive heard of a few and making a broad general statement that has no facts behind it sadgers

severe star
#

I really like how you worded that thanks for the words of wisdom also thanks again nimchip

lusty grotto
coarse bay
#

Im just bored and yapping random things, but if u like my ted talk then we balling

severe star
coarse bay
#

Nope

severe star
#

just ooga booga

coarse bay
#

Just bash with shield

#

And charge

daring marlin
#

got bodied first pull in MC16 lol

#

made a new group and clapped the 15

#

idk what happened but people weren't raging about it so that was cool

next pasture
#

is there a way to make execute only glow when like.. you know, the target is in exe range?

lusty grotto
#

no

next pasture
#

brilliant, thanks

#

someone said i could only do 8 abundances

#

but

#

im doing a 9th

coarse bay
#

Literally cant be stopped

lusty grotto
#

ok well

#

it only gave me 600 unalloyed but i was just afking

mystic cave
#

hypothetically, im out of SW, avatar on cd, and im bought to take a big hit. Its just spam IP and pray right

lusty grotto
#

nvm i got 900

coarse bay
#

If its a buster or something i guess u call for external or pray you live it

#

If its trash just leap away/cc

mystic cave
#

i just feel very tied to SW to do risky m+ pulls/big hits, and without it i panic IP and hope it keep sme alive

#

im not super used to kiting, but i think i should be doign that more based on high keys ive seen (second season tanking)

lusty grotto
#

it wont

coarse bay
#

Overspending on ip is a way to deepen the hole

#

Not dig yourself out

mystic cave
#

So when you are in that hole, impending victory, keep up the active mit, and then its external or ktie?

#

with the movement speed slow (i forgot the name)

lusty grotto
#

you not only have walls

#

you have SR

#

and demo shout

#

all of them are DR (or MDR in SR's case)

mystic cave
#

maybe im to in the flow of using demo for DPS, and in harder content i should consider the DR portion more

lusty grotto
#

not only that but SS does Punish which is more DR, TB does Keep your feet on the ground which is 8% dr, Phalanx does 5% DR

coarse bay
#

Its hard to just make a hypothetical situation because i feel like your reaction varies by the situation

lusty grotto
#

but yes, if you think youre gonna need it you can certainly hold it

mystic cave
#

I feel like I have the damage portion down pretty good, nice heroic parses and good key dps. But when i run out of SW, i feel much more lost in "stay alive buttons" than i did on brew last tier. I coudl post raid logs if it helps but not sure

coarse bay
#

Maybe youre using sw when u dont need to

mystic cave
#

Maybe, but like you said its pretty subjective. some bosses/keys i never press it

#

some I feel like I need 4 charges

sick shell
#

Does everyone drop last stand on shield wall in higher keys? It feels pretty important in the 9-10 pug range

coarse bay
#

I dont take it at all

mystic cave
#

I just thought it read bad, the times where you are pressing SW that low seems bad fundamentally

#

but im new here 🤷

lusty grotto
#

probably dont plan to use it until... way later if at all

sick shell
#

I guess it comes down to trusting your healer

lusty grotto
#

nah

coarse bay
#

We arent a self heal tank

lusty grotto
#

and i exclusively run with pug healers

#

if shit hits the fan

#

r1s even lmao

sick shell
#

Ok I'll drop it and go back to devastate

coarse bay
#

I dont think ill be doing keys big enough to warrant it, im not sure how high of keys you expect to push

lusty grotto
#

wait

#

did you drop devastator for it???

mystic cave
#

I thought it was illegal to do tank keys over a 10 unless you were Brew

lusty grotto
#

thats super illegal

#

dropping devastator i mean

coarse bay
sick shell
#

What else is there to drop? The rend rage talent?

lusty grotto
#

what build are you running

#

hopefully the icy veins one

sick shell
#

Ya I just swapped one point out

lusty grotto
#

LS isnt swap worthy honestly but if you had to swap Enduring Alacrity is a good pick

#

or

#

yeah bloodborne

sick shell
#

There really aren't a lot of options, the tree branches in a way that everything is mandatory

#

It does feel like it's in a good place though, I'm enjoying it

coarse bay
#

Ya warrior is in a good spot rn

sick shell
#

Hopefully the avatar nerf they have coming won't ruin it

#

I kinda like alternating clap every gcd

lusty grotto
#

you dont have to

#

adn shouldnt

sick shell
#

Why, what's prio over fishing for shield slam procs

lusty grotto
#

wait what avatar nerf

#

i thought you were talking about the apex

sick shell
#

No, they got an avatar nerf in the pipe for .5

lusty grotto
#

are you sure about that?

#

do you mean thane

sick shell
#

Ya for thane

lusty grotto
#

so its not an avatar nerf

mighty valley
#

it’s a thane nerf to avatar’s effects on clap

#

I guess

lusty grotto
#

what no

#

oh right yea

#

its whatever, since practiced strikes is getting buffed

#

it shuold just put thane more evenly with colossus

#

so 🤷‍♂️

#

we still count it as an unintended nerf

#

it was aimed at fury

#

we're just catching a stray

sick shell
#

I don't think the people making these changes actually play warrior

sharp gale
#

I mean, the talent/gameplay linked is getting old tbf

lusty grotto
#

its not a big deal since SS was getting buffed too

#

i totally understand the idea behind the nerf, they just want it to be less bursty and to have less importance in extending avatar

#

still feels like a stray from fury nerfs

#

but it is what it is

#

i kind of agree with archi though, the damage nerf is what feels strange

#

the cdr is fine

#

either way SS still trucks so thats okay

sick shell
#

Isn't not like warrior dps is pumping right now, like how they kept hitting arms with nerfs till it was borderline

lusty grotto
#

its not a huge loss in overall dps from the sims

#

unless they havent updated mimiron

#

Gotta be a world first, someone prove me wrong

I'll duel them for the title.

#

It's less than that if Google AI is correct. Says they track 2.5 million accounts

err more than that

Strenght still gives bonus to armor and vice-versa?

<@&257983573498265600>

vital vale
#

I dont see many evokers this season. does their bleed removal work on the myriad of stacking tank busting bleeds this season?

#

Id definitly go out of my way to invite one in higher keys if i can if they can remove those bleeds

lusty grotto
#

it works on whatever you can dwarf sure

#

it does not work on skyreach

#

🙂

vital vale
#

damn

lusty grotto
#

AA bleeds, sure

vital vale
#

i dont play dwarf tho so idk which it will work on. works on the lashers in AA and the champions in seat i assume?

lusty grotto
#

see above

vital vale
#

how far above

lusty grotto
#

a line above

vital vale
#

AA okay

lusty grotto
#

idk what you mean about champions in seat

vital vale
#

and champions too i guess

#

theres bleeds in MGT right? the enforcers? i dont remember

vital vale
lusty grotto
#

there's no bleeds there

vital vale
#

this is definitly a good season to be a dwarf but im not gonna reroll for that

#

oh its a shadow dmg dot

#

those champions are just destroying me

lusty grotto
#

those arent dispellable so no

sharp gale
#

The ones that does a shield slam ?

#

Before the second boss

vital vale
#

no

lusty grotto
#

nah

vital vale
#

the first pulls in Seat

lusty grotto
#

he means first room

vital vale
#

the knockback ones you can just spell reflect

sharp gale
#

Oh okok

lusty grotto
#

but the bash is goodge reflect dmg

vital vale
#

i also have to tell my group not to kick 3rd boss

#

topping meters with spell reflect there

#

well not topping

#

but close

sharp gale
#

I should start to try intervene reflects to see if some works

lusty grotto
#

WRS has some stuff that is dwarfable

sharp gale
#

Bc a shit ton of stuff is deflectable

lusty grotto
#

and also the one debuff in Pit

vital vale
lusty grotto
#

ehh

vital vale
#

thats the only place in WS that i ever feel like im killable

lusty grotto
#

maybe? idk

#

its my 3rd day back from vacation so the new stuff is kinda fuzzy

vital vale
#

welcome back

sharp gale
#

Im dps this season in m+ and yeah tanks usually dies in the plants area

lusty grotto
#

weird

vital vale
#

its kitable tho

#

so its no big deal

lusty grotto
#

i did like two WRS today and i didnt feel like it was dangerous

sharp gale
#

But idk if it’s bc they roll into the next pack or bc actual mechanics

lusty grotto
#

i just literally pull that whole thing

vital vale
#

WRS is not dangerous for the tank at all, only that one pull with the plant mushroom thing can hurt you

#

when he spawns a lot of adds

#

but you can kite them

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

i dont kite

#

fuck that

#

that shit didnt hurt

#

and I HAVE A CHAMPION SHIELD

sharp gale
# lusty grotto weird

I can’t really dissociate what is happening to the tank with just they fucking rolled in the middle of the pack sometime

lusty grotto
#

because a hero one refuses to fucking drop

vital vale
#

not crafting one?

lusty grotto
#

why though

vital vale
#

you get 50 myth crests for free

#

outside of seasonal cap

lusty grotto
#

myth raid my dude

sharp gale
#

1/2 shield bearers in my guild got it, soon it will be mine

lusty grotto
#

youll probably get it before me

#

knowing my stupid luck

#

didnt this happen like 3 seasons in a row?

sharp gale
#

Im most likely third, just needs to drop

sharp gale
#

I think I got one randomly in a manaforge reclear, omega saladbar got a shield no ?

lusty grotto
#

i wish i had your luck sometimes

How are we dealing with Null Sunders in Nexus? How are these cleared?

I never was so geared without getting raid loot

dont even know what your talking about never noticed anything in nexus thats an issue

timid nacelle
#

https://www.wowhead.com/spell=1249645/null-sunder stacking armour debuff from defenders on the left side, sometimes stacks get real high and I am getting clapped, timer is long and mobs immune to cc so can't stun and kite like other debuffs. Other times they are just are just dropping off before timer is up and not getting too high. Was wondering if it's something that just needs to be healed through

lusty grotto
#

yeah of course

#

its a heal absorb

#

it fades when it gets healed

#

you can also reflect it to reset it

#

but just treat it like any other stack and play it like that

#

stun when the timer is about to fade etc

#

treat it just like fiery talon (which cannot be reflected), first AA pull bleeds, or even Nullaeus add debuffs etc

drowsy comet
#

What stats do you want to have on your 1h and shield? Is it crit haste or something different?

vital vale
#

or just go haste + something else to be safe

#

but it just depends on overall stat distribution, but it really just doesnt matter esp on a weapon which doesnt have much stats to begin with

#

haste is never wrong

#

1h and shield are important because they provide attack power, armor, and block. their secondary stats dont leave a big footprint

drowsy comet
#

i just checked, on 1h its crit haste, shield is vers mastery something like that

lusty grotto
#

wrong

drowsy comet
#

why

lusty grotto
#

its crit haste for both

drowsy comet
#

hm if you say so

#

oh yea wowhead has the stat prio

vital vale
#

but like i said, those slots dont have much stats so its not a big loss if you just want to save some gold and random stat it

lusty grotto
#

disagree

#

if they are gonna craft something and not mythic raid, they might as well be the best stats

drowsy comet
#

yea mythic raid is not planned anytime soon

lusty grotto
#

then you go the best stats and play the vault waiting game for myth tracks

drowsy comet
#

taking my time, my pwarr is still gearing for basics and doesnt have any set piece yet

#

Yea

untold tangle
vital vale
# lusty grotto disagree

those stats just dont mean that much until you hit higher tier content, and this fellow asking about stats with the WoWNoob tag likely isnt planning on progging lura anytime soon, so im giving the advice i believe is most relevant to the person asking

lusty grotto
#

i know who the fellow is

#

hes been around

vital vale
#

ait

drowsy comet
#

this fellow is known... sadge

vital vale
#

i still think that if you dont mythic raid and dont have much gold you can definitely just send your wep crafts without a missive :P highly likely you will get haste anyway, plus if you dont its not gonna make or break your season in the more medium core gameplay

lusty grotto
#

a missive is like 500g

#

at most

vital vale
#

is it

#

cheap over there in NA

#

think its like 3k here the haste ones

#

not much but some people are broke

lusty grotto
#

i think its reasonable to think that if he asks "which stats", he wants the stats for a reason

vital vale
#

fair enough i concede

drowsy comet
#

so both crit haste right?

#

okay

#

time to upgrade my shit

bleak breach
#

What are you guys doing for taunt swaps on mythic imperator?

#

Or whatever its name is lol

#

First boss

#

I treated it like normal/heroic but other tank struggled a bit with the hp drop, so assuming we need to taunt more regularly

drowsy comet
#

you swap after the other tank taunted, then you taunt and play tic tac toe with the boss

bleak breach
#

Yeah, like same as heroic?

#

Other tank was just worried about getting high stacks

hollow hawk
#

You guys speccing into just 1 point for apex talents?

rocky fossil
#

what's this noise about mountain thane getting nerfed? will it effect prot too?

fringe mural
#

the cooldownreduction of tc during avatar is less and the dmg of tc in general afaik

fringe mural

#

Was just watching topicx video saying thats the play for higher keys

#

News to me

drowsy comet
jagged pier
#

So if your want to go tanky just take bsv

#

And still play 4apex

rocky fossil
#

alrigth, so not in yet, potentially got to change with .5 patch?

jagged pier
#

Also i dont know if its in his build but alot of these builds are taking bb, which as we do not hat much bleed damage isnt really worth taking anymore even for fbv heaking its not gunna make or break it so can swap that for something more defensive too

#

Also look if hes running hr

#

Because if hes nit he inting if he dont have the correct haste for it

sharp gale
#

Build in question

fathom meteor
#

do i bother switching to dwarf, cant clear this stupid AA on a 15 -_-

jagged pier
#

Ill allow it

sharp gale
#

Im more doubtful on his class tree, and I didn’t have a thought about gathering cloud either

jagged pier
#

Oh didnt notice that

#

Not have forthing berserker is dumb

sharp gale
#

But the video, he is not very confident, likely still learning/ climbing

jagged pier
#

I would have forthing beserker thats a lock

#

The bandage is not that great

sharp gale
#

Piercing howl neither

#

He talks about berserk rage dispel / dungeon specific

#

I play with a red talent thane build clueless

#

No stormbolt no intervene

drowsy comet
sharp gale
#

You need to set it right and kite it to reset your stacks

fathom meteor
#

idk if its a pack living thing, ill keep trying before i swipe but aye if dwarf makes it easier lmao

sharp gale
#

It does make it easier + if you can have a pocket evoker

spiral mountain
#

Why don't people take apex talents lately?

sharp gale
#

Idk who does that except the guy we talked about earlier

#

Rank 1 prot war plays 4 apex

fringe mural
sharp gale
fringe mural
#

ah it's just hp

#

nvm

#

only nice for solo play

sharp gale
#

You take dmg in solo play

fringe mural
#

yes

#

but you dont have a healer

sharp gale
#

And you proc bsv at 30%

fringe mural
#

and when you play against stuff that wittles you away it's useful like elites or elite packs

#

or raids that are just about soloable

#

legacy ones

#

so not a great talent for m+ unless your dmg intake is very steady and your healer cant keep up

fathom meteor
sharp gale
#

No

#

sharp gale
#

Acefloorpov

fringe mural
#

you give up dps going down to 1/4

Can you run heavy rep. And not go haste? Or is it just dogshit?

coarse bay

@dusty terrace

dusty terrace
#

@coarse bay thanks. It just feeling so one sided that HR is just a talent node to use «on your way too 1188 haste» and then you swap to ITF.
Was just wondring if staking vers crit or even mastery and keep running HR could be good too in some situations. Don’t know hoping for a diverse gameplay but I guess its just dumb overthinking

coarse bay
#

Answer is yes, heavy repercussions is still recommended, but haste is always really good to get

#

I think it’s a big gain when u can move to itf

#

But you dont want to switch until you can be sure of your shield block uptime

#

Hence the number 1188 haste

dusty terrace
#

Mhm

coarse bay
#

Im sure you could choose to take other stats until then

#

Thatd be a sim or feelcraft angle

dusty terrace
#

Thanks for help @coarse bay

coarse bay
#

But haste is generally still very good for us regardless

#

is it factoring in shield charge?

#

the 1188

or is that extra uptime depending on situation and a part of 'managing your shield block uptime'

My DK is completely bugged. I first noticed it running a lower key with my guild. The healer was complaining about not being able to cast a heal on me. Then I ran another key +9 with another guild group. Different healer. she said my party frame was untargetable. the key ended up being a wipe at the first boss. I am blood DK and 269 ilvl so up...

Yer its a char thing not a spec thing

dies to not having a healer

but again i will say it, blizzard fix your game

grim zinc
#

Is it completely normal for my shield slams to be critting for 150k+? I was a bit shocked. Is it a proc I'm generating or something?

tribal wharf
#

this is like 7/10 on the clown scale allowing your game to be in a state that you cant target the tank in a key to heal them

#

its not totally rediculous but its tedering on it

grim zinc
#

Are there situations where we are taking Hunker down in m+ keys?

#

I feel like there are so many good talents in this protection tree...

tribal wharf
#

the issue with what you are saying

#

is the keys are on timers

#

so that by default makes us take offensive talents

grim zinc
#

That makes sense.

tribal wharf

up until your doing like 18s 20s

We need 35% haste baseline to keep 100% uptime of SB with ItF?

no, never heard 35% haste (regarding this season)

which is ~30%

jagged pier

u need ither HR or like 66% haste (from rating alone) to do that

its 100% effective uptime with management or close to

solid sun
#

Hey @jagged pier

#

When you’re looking at a dungeon log

#

Does uptime only count during combat

#

Or while the dungeon timer is running

#

Like I know we don’t necessarily care about SB uptime in general over effective uptime and percentage of blocked hits, but if someone’s log shows 73% uptime does that indicate that much of the dungeon regardless of being in combat or not

#

Or that percentage of actual combat time

jagged pier
#

in logs it takes into account movement time between packs etc

#

thats why we look at blocked hits instead

solid sun
#

I figured

tribal wharf
#

hey rhino, still working on keys, caverns is a turd

#

First one I just don’t think we played very well

#

Second one we had a healer priest that was struggling and my prot pal friend had a couple times where he seemed to just fall over, unsure why

tribal wharf
#

at first it was we would wipe to first boss, then we got to final boss on 8 and tried it like 5 times

#

and they cou ldnt seem to manage it

I’ve noticed a number of people are still unsure how the traps work on the first boss

Nobody knows how the last boss works

and my priest was total panicing during the leap

and just running around scared

cuz, once again, with all adds more than 1, its about getting them all lumped up so the dps can attack them with same aoe attack and kill them fast

sharp gale
#

Gnome racial very powerful when you don’t care about charging into the civilian ghosts

tribal wharf
#

its just only the totem that spawns in and not something else right

cuz every time those totems spawn in they get aggro on something, that i think they have to kick

#

but i cant be there when hes going to drop the crap

#

cuz they die immediately after too

sharp gale
#

tbf the last boss mech where he jumps on 3 ppl and pop gripping adds is not that easy to do properly

it would be pretty hard to change the fight now

sharp gale
#

Not everyone can remain calm to dodge the circle / while staying close to the previous

solid sun

I don’t think the fight needs to be changed

I think people just need to learn to group up the totems and kick all the ghost boys

what ghost boys

#

all i see is some totems

The fight is fair yep, the minmax is not required to do a 10

now, my personal feeling about this, is there should be some blizzard AI system

that if you have spent 27 minutes

and you are fighting the second boss and wipe aga in

especially if the game detects alot of like fighting and swearing in the party chat

Hi, wondered if anyone could help - am considering tanking in Midnight, never tanked before in my life but since I've played Fury Warrior since forever, I considered playing Prot. What would be the best way to start learning, so you don't go in and seem like a complete div in a dungeon who gets flamed by the group, guessing best to start running follower dungeons to get t he general idea down?

I understand all of the mechs now fundamentally on a DPS level but I also know there are certain tank mechanics you need to know

languid elk
#

@jagged pier any sujection on what addon causes the issues?

solid sun
#

Game probably doesn’t want you to be healed and have buffs because you aren’t taking all the apex talents

jagged pier
#

i have no idea i have some of them and not seen the issue myself, we need more data from ppl that do have the issue to see if u all run the same one

solid sun
#

Jakey takes all the apex talents

#

So far my theory is looking impeccable

jagged pier
toxic pewter
#

Can you calculate how much 4/4 5% dr is worth in a key, or sort of any encounter?

Run content without 4/4 just look at total damage taken and multiply by .05 to get an idea of apex defensive value weigh this amount against last stand / indom heal value and can gauge 4/4 apex value

What’s wrong with this/ what am I missing

solid sun
#

Well basically

#

APB

#

There are two primary issues

#

First of them is as follows:

#

You’re the hecking feelycrafter so why are you tryna do math

#

Secondly: all our smart folks already told us 4/4 is better than that other build so we don’t have to

#

Blind faith buddy

#

Blind faith

toxic pewter
solid sun
#

If anything you should do the same key twice and tell us which one feels better

#

Since you are the feelycrafter

#

Compare the 4/4 with BSV build to the 1/4 with BSV, indom, last stand build

toxic pewter
#

Yah everything I said is sort of feely cuz can’t really get exact determinations when it comes to defensive stuff

#

Ok I will report back when I get home

# toxic pewter Can you calculate how much 4/4 5% dr is worth in a key, or sort of any encounte...

its persoanly preferences/ beta coming to hit us in the ass, because the 5% dr was on the 1st apex talent in beta ppl got used to running 1/4, now its moved to 4/4 with no other changes to apex then the question is, is it still worth to take the other things, that i cant say ofr high keys, im pretty certain me sense and mwahi see no reason not to take 4/4 and i think as of yesterday the op io person was 4/4. but LS does have niches in very high keys (but u need to know what it is and when to use it), indom sure passive healing but its still not great but its not nothing, and BSV is BSV (which can be run with 4/4) but eh all those 3 will make damage feel smoother to intake i guess, even tho not really in math terms. up to the individual

#

as ive said the past few days i think for 99.9% of players that have made the switch / that make the switch they should just swap to BSV because that will do the lifting in keeping u alive

#

and ppl that have made the switch i cant confirm but im certain its BSV thats making them no die

#

/ not feel squishy anymore

harsh trellis
#

I do like BSV

jagged pier
#

because if u arent playing the class correctly u arent getting the full use out of indom as u need to be generating and spending rage to get the full amount out of it, which alot of ppl dont do

#

so for top ppl yes it will do somthing but for a majoity it will be doing less and not really added value

#

and LS is just causing ppl to use SW incorrectly

#

when ppl under use it already

#

its encouraging ppl to use it as an oh shit button instead of a preventative button

#

BSV will actually help its another cd that will stop ppl dying i used it myself in AA to make the pulls a joke

harsh trellis
#

Explain to me why I see some of these higher key builds dropping shield spec

jagged pier
#

i dont know

harsh trellis
#

I personally wont

jagged pier
#

and i dont understand it at all

harsh trellis
#

I like it

#

Im just curious like why

jagged pier
#

its literally like the strongest defensive talent in the game

#

ive seen builds where they have like BB but not shield spec

#

and if the aim is to be tanky

#

why are we taking BB

#

cause the fbv healing it will add, is nothing compared to the dr from shield spec

#

u can argue because the tuning of this season is so bad u dont need to run it like last season last tier

#

but blockable damage is still the most amount of damage u take in a key

#

but like a massive margin so y freely allow yourself to take 16% more of it

#

makes 0 sense

toxic pewter
#

Yes I def feel like many people literally don’t even realize they moved the dr to 4/4 lol literally cursed by beta like you said

jagged pier
#

i mean u also seee top builds with ITF instead of HR which i fight every s1 cause if the goal is to be tanky

#

u should just be running HR

jagged pier
#

but for us 5% DR flat is just big

toxic pewter
#

In my head 5% is sizable
