fringe mural
#

touristy places usually dont have the good food 😄

lusty grotto
#

yeah i know

oblique garnet
#

but im sure the airports/airlines have shit planned out

oblique garnet
#

Eh its fine

Surely

Has to be

lusty grotto
#

i do have to ask though

fringe mural
#

we should just remove all the wannabe lords from power so people can go back and care about their daily business again

lusty grotto

i'm so done

a colleague from my wife went to thailand to retire

This is why I turn my bnet to offline smh

i dont think ive ever done a 2 month thing, most time ive done is like two weeks at best

#

in germany he couldnt even afford a flat

#

the exchange rate is crazy

oblique garnet
#

I was thinking of renting a villa on an island for 350€/45 days

lusty grotto
#

what the fuck

fringe mural
#

dafuq

lusty grotto
#

thats so cheap

fringe mural
#

yeah

#

told you

oblique garnet
#

But we will see it seems the island might be getting a bit too crowded so i need to ask around the locals bit more

fringe mural
#

we have fish and cats so we cant go away for a long time

lusty grotto

lol

fringe mural

unless we have someone living here for that time

it's salt water

They do when they are hungry

fringe mural

there's a lid on top and they're dumb

#

so

lusty grotto
#

well usually you find someone to cat sit, or a pet sitter service, at least in NA

fringe mural
#

yeah you do

#

they tend to get pretty expensive

lusty grotto
#

yeah its best to have a friend or neighbor that can do it

fringe mural
#

especially if they have to take care of a reef tank too

lusty grotto
#

or family even

fringe mural
#

most cat sitters wont do that

lusty grotto
#

i used to have a reef tank, etc so i understand

fringe mural
#

there's all kinds of plumbing below the tank

#

ah

trust me i would say something about the cheetoh but i dont wanna go full political in here

#

What's the common opinion on using tanking trinkets in m+?

lusty grotto
#

use them when you need it

#

otherwise dont

#

solarcore is the strongest one, very good partial shield

#

the others are decent, jelly is meh

unreal sequoia
#

I got a mid 272 Ampoule of Pure Void since it was my only option today. It sims -700 to my 259 trinkets. So I didn't know if I should bother using it

lusty grotto
#

that trinket can be situationally good

#

for example for NPX's first pull

#

or any case where heal absorbs are a problem, but most notably left side NPX

#

so you can opt to use it there, at least when pushing

fringe mural
#

ty

lusty grotto
#

could be okay for MT's 2nd part but... there's more dangerous mobs than the fat void's heal absorbs

#

so at best i would use it in NPX, and thats it

tribal wharf
#

the most dangerous part of MT for me at least is the damned maze

#

i ran that place like 4 times today

unreal sequoia
#

Got it thank you

tribal wharf
#

every single time i screwed up the maze

fringe mural
#

a lot of snails

#

some sea urchins

tribal wharf
#

i need to study the pattern the mobs travel

#

so i can never get caught again

fringe mural
#

and not as much coral as i'd like to have

lusty grotto
#

yeah coral is kinda rough to find right now

#

and probably for the foreseeable future

fringe mural
#

it has been a rough road, i started the tank in 2024

#

but it's getting healthier

#

and stuff starts growing

lusty grotto
fringe mural
#

it's really cool to see corals overgrowing stone and spreading, even though it's slow

tribal wharf
#

how about nexus trinket or contract (seat)

#

do youi like those?

#

i have never goten either

lusty grotto
#

no

#

contract is dps only anyway, and its meh

#

and NPX trinket is meh as well

#

mid at best

tribal wharf
#

i have i feeling i would like the nexus one because its just a simple random bolt

#

lame it gets split among targets

gray pecan
#

is it too late to pull the log for this?

i got WCL but this is what the ingame DPS meter captured

lusty grotto
#

if you were logging just upload it

daring marlin
#

frost mages continue to be hit or miss

#

ele shams too

#

guarantee these bozos were holding cds too long

lusty grotto
daring marlin
lusty grotto
#

its very rare to find a good one

daring marlin
#

disc can either be godlike and nobody loses hp or they suck

lusty grotto
#

most of them just suck

daring marlin
#

like HARD

lusty grotto
#

yup

undone beacon
#

do we need a blood dk for mythic dragons

#

im being told we need two bdks

#

yeah looking at these logs its rough

#

fuck bdk man

distant dove
#

Does anyone have any tips for prot dps? I feel like im missing something cause my numbers are pretty garbo

lusty grotto
#

do you have logs?

distant dove
#

vanguard was just me trying not to fuck up taunts so that's probably irrelevant

#

But others an attempt at dpsing was made

lusty grotto
#

your CPMs look okay

#

youre not potting

#

your trinkets are pretty ass

distant dove
#

Yeah potting im aware, working on it

#

You think trinkets could be a good chunk of the problem?

lusty grotto
#

i wouldnt stress too much right now, we're fresh out of two weeks of RWF where the top logs are people split-geared

#

your gameplay is not bad at all

#

that being said youre capping rage way too much

#

consume

#

use IP

#

that shouldn't happen

#

use IP

#

make AM work for you

#

for Avatar resets

distant dove
#

what's IP?

lusty grotto
#

Ignore Pain

distant dove
#

Ah right

lusty grotto
#

rage dump at 70+ rage

#

thats probably your biggest mistake

#

everything else looks good

#

fix that, youll get more Avatar resets (and walls), and Outbursts and your dps will increase

distant dove
#

Will give it a read. Thanks!

lusty grotto
#

never rage starve

#

never rage cap

#

keep your rage always moving

distant dove
#

Noted! Appreciate the help^^

opal ledge
#

any estimate on how much bloodsurge and instigate impact on rage generation?

lusty grotto
#

instigate is higher rage gen

#

bloodsurge is normalized

#

i cant recall the calculations that were done back when they first showed up (or were nerfed) but that's about the gist of it

solid sun
#

@fringe mural can you answer this

#

Just making sure your issue was resolved. I was cooking when you DM’d me

tribal wharf
#

im srurprsed how effective spell reflect lura beams works

#

you'll have it ready for each cast

#

and you use it and then you take no dmg from it at all

#

does multiple beams

#

that or keystone level too low to hurt me

#

its like match made in heaven

spark mortar
#

Yet another "Mark of Light" post. It's either that or the ridiculous stacked Haste ring.

lusty grotto
#

unfortunate

spark mortar
#

I mean Nim here's the entire picture.

#

I have a better shield, I have the shoulders and legs already. The CHEST is the thing I need to upgrade and it's the same ilvl. 🪦

lusty grotto
#

sounds like a socket, unless if you dont have a myth trinket

lofty warren
#

is this trink bad

lusty grotto
#

you can just send crests on it, and thats one myth trinket done

tribal wharf
#

fre trinket upgrades in future ya lol

lusty grotto
#

instigate is 10% chance (since we're using Devastator) per auto attack to generate 2 rage, this is increased by haste and skyfury (windfury) attacks

mighty valley

lusty grotto
#

instigate averages around 2k rage in 30mins

bloodsurge averages around 1.8k rage in 30 mins

#

@opal ledge

opal ledge
#

nice, thanks

#

how much we generate in average without those talents in 30 min? i've no idea

lusty grotto
#

technically, bloodsurge is also increased by haste since rend ticks are hastened

#

without any of them?

#

hmm...

opal ledge
#

yes

lusty grotto
#

hard to say

#

theres a lot of stuff that generates rage

#

obviously #1 is SS

#

by a massive amount

opal ledge
#

i'm playing without both, idk
whirling blade seems to generate a lot

lusty grotto
#

i wouldnt play without instigate

#

rage is important

mighty valley
#

generating rage generates more rage

lusty grotto
#

bloodsurge you can do without, i play without it

opal ledge
#

with both i kinda feel... it's too much rage? i'm spamming IP like a lot

mighty valley
#

spending rage is great though

lusty grotto
#

thats why bloodsurge isnt really recommended

#

but instigate is

#

its good for r1 keys though

#

i suppose

opal ledge
#

i dropped it for last stand, i really like last stand

lusty grotto
#

well you do you, but again that's not our recommendation

#

more rage = more rage consumption = more avatars, walls, outbursts

mighty valley
#

you’ll want last stand less and less as you can anticipate damage better

lusty grotto
#

last stand is easily talented by swapping a different talent

#

than instigate specifically

opal ledge
#

are u guys playing the one that reduces cd?

lusty grotto
#

no we play DA

#

IW used to be good in DF and the first half of TWW, but it got super nerfed in mid TWW so we have not talented it

opal ledge
#

i will be testing no apex now

lusty grotto
#

why

#

arent you doing 12s?

opal ledge
#

13's 14 maybe

lusty grotto
#

point still stands

opal ledge
#

right now im doing 6 to help some returnign friends xD

lusty grotto
#

even beyond that 1/4 is scuffed

#

why would you nerf yourself

#

theres 0 reason

opal ledge
#

it's just testing, idk

lusty grotto
#

testing what, we've already tested it

opal ledge
#

how it feels the gameplay

lusty grotto
#

didnt you see this?

#

it feels the same dude

#

you just do far less dps

opal ledge
#

for me is feeling different, as i said a lot of rage

lusty grotto
#

and have -5% DR

#

but you have instigate

#

we never recommended both

#

im not talking about rage

#

im talking about 1/4

#

why would you do that?

#

you have nothing to gain but everything to lose

opal ledge
#

to get both the rage talents

#

maybe its nice in first pull of AA idk

lusty grotto
#

its not

#

i do it fine with 4/4 and instigate only

undone beacon
#

nim i think the phrase is you have nothing to lose but your chains

lusty grotto
#

oh well, your loss

#

just please dont recommend those setups here

#

thats your thing

#

and your thing alone

opal ledge
#

i'm not reccomending anything

lusty grotto
#

but youre posting pictures of scuffed talents that lurkers can think are correct

#

either way, ty

gray pecan
#

so my log didnt generate...using dbm it should be automatic yeah?

#

or is there a command i need to use everytime

lusty grotto
#

i gotta be honest i havent had DBM in over 3 expansions

#

im a bigwigs guy

#

but

opal ledge
#

testing this too, the healing feels nice in big packs

lusty grotto
#

if its turned on, it should automatically enable itself when you start the key

#

make sure you have advanced combat logging on

lusty grotto
opal ledge
#

bro i'm just chatting

lusty grotto
#

the only use for it is NPX left side

#

thats it

#

better trinkets for the rest of the dungeons

#

if youre going defensive you dont want heals, you want solar core

#

for ampoule talk

Kind of a crappy vault.. Do I take the gloves? or cloak?

i have hero of both

lusty grotto

hmm

#

myth gloves are better than anything else

#

bigger stat pool

#

but cloak is a runner up

fallow fern
#

yea.. would you cata them?

lusty grotto
#

depends on stats

#

if they have haste, dont

#

you already have 4pc right?

fallow fern
#

they are crit mast

#

yea glove is one of the pieces

lusty grotto
#

ok then cata them

fallow fern
#

so id have to cata something

and i was gonna craft a cloak..

so prob gloves

yeah thats fine

I got a bullshit helmet out of my cache

solid sun
#

That doesn't even look like a helmet

#

It looks like spikes

opal ledge
#

checking some logs...
bloodsurge is like 8% of the rage generation, it translates in like 50 extra IP... or 2 IP per minutes. (some extra healing, procs too)
instigate is like a similar gain... but will be more valuable in boss fights.

lusty grotto
#

i dont know why i even bother

daring marlin
lusty grotto
#

pretty much

solid sun
#

I think Jakey takes instigate and bs

#

But I'm pretty sure I only take instigate

#

Jakey better than me so he probably uses the extra rage way better than I would

opal ledge
#

you guys don't like knowing the numbers on ur class?

lusty grotto
#

i already told you the numbers

#

do you think im just making them up or something

lofty warren
#

been enjoying these talents

opal ledge
#

no, you just told me different numbers

lofty warren
#

with bsv I can even more aggro with pulls

lusty grotto
#

i very distinctly said on average

#

milage will vary

#

🤷‍♂️

solid sun
#

tbh idc about the numbers

#

I let the TC's tell me what's good

#

What am I gonna do with numbers

lusty grotto
#

dear Rhino,
instigate is better rage gen than bloodsurge, bloodsurge does not benefit from added rended mob count

#

solid sun
#

See

#

Good enough for me

opal ledge
#

i will try playing with instigate for a while, i just feel really bad by dropping last stand

i want a heart of wind, that trinket never drops for me
i also want a solar core

#

Just very selectively

coarse bay

true very selectively

lusty grotto

except when general chat tells him something

coarse bay

im gonna start learning apl stuff

that he listens to with full attention

solid sun
#

Have y'all seen this sound game where you try to recreate tones?

#

Interested to see how tone deaf you are?

undone beacon
#

i was talking about looking at apl stuff when you were gone nim

but idk where to even start

lusty grotto
#

github

undone beacon
#

slick

lusty grotto
coarse bay
#

question rq, im sure i can find it by looking through a guide but

#

what would line_cd=9999 be for

#

setting a condition based on talent selection

lusty grotto
#

uhh

#

i havent seen that one

coarse bay
#

im just reading through my own sim and see a whole section with it

#

under actions cds, maybe mages do something a little diff

tight mural
#

does anyone feel like dungeons are weird today

#

like doing more damage or mechanics going off faster than usual

coarse bay
#

a few as example

lusty grotto
#

let me check

solid sun
#

Is 9999 just like a max limit

lusty grotto
#

seems like it but line_cd is the important part

coarse bay
#

ya its only used in this section, i was thinking maybe it referenced a cd priority of some sort labeled 9999 but nope

solid sun
#

line_cd can be used to force a length of time, in seconds, to pass after executing an action before it can be executed again. In the example below, the second line can execute even while the first line is being delayed because of line_cd.

coarse bay
#

so probably wants to use it as an opener and then act differently after

#

maybe

#

idk it probably doesnt matter lmao i was just curious

lusty grotto
#

wingsco is the one that added that update a month ago btw

#

ive no idea who it is but maybe you do

coarse bay
#

ik the guy working on this apl maybe he goes by that on github

lusty grotto
#

likely

solid sun
#

I realize now that what I copied references an example, so here it is:

Cast soulburn exactly once during dark soul (which has a 20s duration)

actions+=/soulburn,line_cd=20,if=buff.dark_soul.up

Cast soulburn during the execute phase when UA is on its last tick

actions+=/soulburn,if=target.health.pct<=20&dot.unstable_affliction.ticks_remain<=1

coarse bay
#

or one of them

solid sun
#

I didn't intend for some of it to be super huge but oh well

#

soulburn is very important

lusty grotto
#

either way its commented by being an opener

#

so what Rhinogpt said

coarse bay
#

oh cool so if i go to the githubs of apls some people put notes etc

lusty grotto
solid sun
#

I'll have you know I went straight to the simc wiki on github

lusty grotto
#

good shit

coarse bay
#

ty u two ❤️ was kinda random thing

#

about to build an apl for prot that uses whirlwind

solid sun
#

This section actually has 3 different things under "Time-based usages"

lusty grotto
#

lmao

solid sun
#

time, time_to_Xpct, and line_cd

coarse bay
#

idk i feel like most apls are super fleshed out idek where you'd start when looking for improvements

lusty grotto
#

mage seems like one of the more complicated one

#

however

#

you should take a look at DH's

#

it is... intense

solid sun
#

havoc specifically or all of them

coarse bay
#

is it just trying small changes and running iterations looking for any gain for reasonable actions i guess

lusty grotto
#

vengeance too

coarse bay
#

wow dh is long

solid sun
#

Meyra said the new spec is like 3.5 buttons, so I'd imagine it's relatively tame

coarse bay
#

mages are pretty simple in midnight i wouldnt expect them to be the most complicated

lusty grotto
#

yeah dev is pretty short in comparison

solid sun
#

Well mages are wizards

#

And wizrds love words

most of arcane apl looks like its for the hero talent we dont play

#

oh nvm its just segmented in a way i read wrong

solid sun
#

Cam you aren't starting off very well

coarse bay
#

well i think most specs are done differently

#

or at least have little things

solid sun
#

Is the fury apl just a bunch of recipes for turkey legs and brisket

lusty grotto
#

its long but not too complicated

#

i copied Archi's executable variable keks

solid sun
#

Nice

lusty grotto
#

but told him about it of course

coarse bay
#

btw i have raidbots premium or whatever but i can get like a simc app right

#

for running stuff?

lusty grotto
#

thats not supported anymore

#

just go through raidbots

coarse bay
#

ah k

solid sun
#

You can try the simc fitbit

#

For when you're on the go

coarse bay
#

lmao

lusty grotto
#

the UI is just there, but the simc devs will just tell you to send on raidbots

#

its kind of in a deprecated state

#

plus it really does need some horsepower sometimes

coarse bay
#

so obviously anything done would be work with an existing default profile

#

but how do they assign actions like actions.thane_st

lusty grotto
#

do you mean in raidbots?

coarse bay
#

ya

lusty grotto
#

advanced sim

#

copy your profile and then add the APL below it

#

the modified one

coarse bay
#

no like we have the actions separated by like actions.thane_st and actions.aoe etc

lusty grotto
#

and send

#

oh

coarse bay
#

but how does it differentiate

#

is that their end

#

and just have set action parameters to use

lusty grotto
coarse bay
#

oooh

lusty grotto
#

that determines which action list gets ran

solid sun
#

Based on the parameters of the sim right

#

Like number of bosses, etc

#

Talents selected

lusty grotto
#

you can make a lot of conditions there

coarse bay
#

ok cool, i expected to see something like that at the top and overlooked

lusty grotto
#

thats how you adapt the APL to things like hectic cleave, executable ranges, etc

#

its just an assload of work

coarse bay
#

ya makes sense i wasnt sure if i was able to create action lists myself

solid sun
#

Cam none of this learning is going to make you better than me.

coarse bay
#

lmfao

solid sun
#

you already are

coarse bay
#

ik

#

no way

lofty warren
#

why cant you just script every possible combination and run sim on everything. no thinking involved

lusty grotto
#

because people dont get paid for it

coarse bay
#

theres also like an infinite amount of things u can do

lusty grotto
#

pay me a salary and ill do it for sure

#

but i aint cheap

#

when the apl satisfies most needs as it is, its just unneeded

#

at some point you're just nit-picking

#

squeezing the very last drop of optimizations

coarse bay
#

ya i think some things in apls are there just for the bot anyways and not humanly possible

lofty warren
#

i mean. do you have all possible combinations in a db or some text file? heck even I can make a script that spits out all possible combinations

lusty grotto
#

yeah we do excel files

#

well sheets

opal ledge
lofty warren
#

all talent combinations? i think you can def make a list of all of them. how many that will result in * time to do sim for each = total compute time. What is more difficult is quantifying the quasi-qualitative value like cheat death

coarse bay
#

and i see this line high prio is where it reads what action list to run?
actions+=/call_action_list,name=variables

coarse bay
#

or tells it to read it

lusty grotto
#

yeah thats just loading any variables

#

before everything else,

#

variables are action.variables

#

i put them at the bottom because thats what i saw Archi did, but im sure other APLs have it elsewhere

coarse bay
#

oh ok i see that

#

and something like execute is the most common form im guessing

lofty warren
#

How do you keep track of thw quantitative value given to qualitative attributes such as cheat d

lusty grotto
#

we dont

#

cheats arent within scope

#

unless if they provide some sort of dps gain

coarse bay
#

so do i make a github and make a copy of the first link u sent me?

#

and then just make my own copies to mess with from there

#

im not familiar with how github works

lofty warren
#

Link file with talent set in a format that'll be used in future and I can make script to spit out combinations

#

Get pull commit push

lusty grotto
#

but the gist is

#

create a github account then click this

#

then you gotta git init on your pc

lofty warren
#

Make a local branch and pull from master into it. Make changes and then commit. Make peer review to merge ur stuff to master

lusty grotto
#

but there's buttons in github that'll make it easier

#

keep in mind you cannot commit stuff directly

solid sun
#

Does pepega use github

coarse bay
#

what do u mean commit stuff directly

lusty grotto
#

they do PRs, and in our case Arma is the one that revises it

#

to approve changes

coarse bay
#

oh you mean to push to like front lines

#

ya i figured

#

itd be a wild world lmao

lofty warren
#

You cant just merge stuff to master without anyone looking at it or youre going to end up with garbage

lusty grotto
#

yeah the front lines is called the nightly branches, and later into master

coarse bay
#

not that id be anywhere near the point of it

#

but u just like pm the person?

lusty grotto
#

you dont need a github for it though

lofty warren
#

Link file with talent set in a format that'll be used in future and I can make script to spit out combinations free of charge.

lusty grotto
#

just send a revised APL to whoever is doing the approvals for mage

#

they'll convert it to C++

#

and push a change in

solid sun
#

pepega is actually archi's burner account

#

messing with us this whole time

coarse bay
#

I knew there was a lot to the background but its more structured than i expected

#

like more steps to it

lusty grotto
#

i pushed a PR in for the cpp file because im very familiar with the whole process

#

of git, i mean (and python)

lofty warren
#

Im pumps account. Never gonna update wowhead so ppl hrt the wrong info and think pwar bad okayge

lusty grotto
#

but if youre interested cam, git is pretty super standard in software dev, but might be overwhelming for what you want to do

frosty mango
#

@solid sun I was at girlscouts and sadly did not see your message because I was busy hocking cookies to hungry boomers

lusty grotto
#

so i recommend just sticking with the simc file and doing your fixes, and then later on you can take on git, its not too complicated to learn, but it does take some time if you dont have background on it

frosty mango
#

For what it’s worth - if you don’t know git well you can use antigravity and have it make the git calls for you and have it explain it as it goes

#

#skynet

coarse bay
#

honestly i dont even know what these things mean lmao

solid sun
#

No worries roid, glad you were having some good dad fun

coarse bay
#

as in i wouldnt know what else to gitting there is past the default apl files or whatever

lofty warren
#

Merge master to your local or ur gonna get merge conflicts and ur gonna get sad

coarse bay
#

there's further steps past that i assume

lusty grotto
#

thats why you squash

frosty mango
#

Best way to learn git

lusty grotto
#

stupid mergers

frosty mango
#

I use git stash all the time and people think I’m a wizard

#

Second only to Linus himself

lusty grotto
#

i love stashes too

solid sun
#

pepega seems like he's saying real stuff rn

#

that's helpful

#

and idk how to feel about it

lusty grotto
#

but i will never accept merge andies

#

squash only okayh

#

well rebase, to be precise

lofty warren
#

Also name your commit comments actually reflect the changes instead changing a,b,x with comment/pr only stating a was changed

lusty grotto
frosty mango
#

My teams love to not merge at the end of the day to integration so I set up an auto-merge script that runs on their machines

#

At 5pm

lusty grotto
#

roid

frosty mango
#

I got tired of dealing with conflicts

frosty mango
#

And if I did, I didn’t mean it

lusty grotto
#

hows antigravity compared to whatever IDE with claude?

frosty mango
#

Unless it was good, in which case I did

lusty grotto
#

i havent actually used antigravity as of yet

lofty warren
#

Vs code s tier

frosty mango
#

It’s a vs code fork

lusty grotto
#

just like everything

frosty mango
#

I personally prefer Claude code terminal setup but I know most people don’t

lusty grotto
#

cursor, windsurf, etc

frosty mango
#

I don’t like windsurf

#

Cursor was good

violet violet
#

is the eternal egg trinket from beloren any good?

lusty grotto
#

we stick to vscode as per our company

frosty mango
#

I’m using bedrock Claude opus 4.6 as the backend for my model so I never run out of tokens

#

Paid for by job

lusty grotto
#

yeah we use opus as well

lofty warren
#

I use IIS express for local unit testing my crappy .net stuff and use regular old visual studio for that

lusty grotto
frosty mango
#

If I didn’t have that I would probably just use vs code with like glm. I have a local set up on my server rack running some models locally that I interact with via llama.cpp

lusty grotto
#

i see

#

i guess ill just try antigravity on personal shit and see how it feels

frosty mango
#

Been doing a lot of ai integration in secure clouds lately, I think SaaS based AI is going to hit a wall soon

lofty warren
#

Why you put models locally instead of just letting the Ai companies eat the storage and compute cost

frosty mango
lusty grotto
#

my company is in too deep with anthropic to take suggestions so 🤷‍♂️

frosty mango
#

Only send to cloud if you need more compute

lofty warren
#

Ohh if ur getting charged per token and for cloud compute then yea it'll cost.

#

Storage size to setup a full model locally?

thats the only way to play

you send them

unless a damage amp is coming up

you just send

split narwhal
lusty grotto
#

you dont reflect judgment

#

you reflect sotr

split narwhal
#

I mean that's just wrong.

#

I do it repeatedly later in the fight and the enrage.

lusty grotto
#

you reflect sotr

split narwhal
#

That's the ret paladin judgement that is bugged.

#

Bellamy Judgement is reflectable.

lusty grotto
#

is it in the log?

split narwhal
#

Yes.

#

Top damage log on this fight is reflecting Judgement from Bellamy.

opal ledge
#

judgment is the one bugged probably

lusty grotto
opal ledge
#

yeah i can't see the reflect too

split narwhal
#

Ye, no apparently it is Sotr wtf was I looking at last week then

lusty grotto
#

im definitely seeing it in a heroic kill

#

ah

#

well

#

it happens i guess

opal ledge
#

yeah i'm checking the logs and it's sotr

lusty grotto
#

yeah the list is accurate

#

but still gotta check

#

blizzard can sneak in stuff

split narwhal

Ye, I'm just dumb, glad I posted tho ty. I looked at an early public log that was also timing reflect wrong

opal perch
#

Yo, is it normal practice for healers to not cast much when I’m tanking and gathering mobs in m+ ?

lusty grotto
#

uhh

#

what do you mean

opal ledge
lusty grotto
#

i mean they cast if they have to

#

whats the specific question here

sharp gale
#

they should be aware of risk of aggro and... follow you

opal perch
#

Context I’m new to tanning, Like before I have full agro on a pack and I’m collecting them to a certain spot. Kind of like how dps wait few seconds before blasting

#

Tanking *

lusty grotto
#

then no

#

if you need heals, you need heals

#

they shouldnt pull agro from a clapped mob

#

just make sure you hit everything

opal perch
#

What if I don’t and they’re pre casting heals to be “safe”

sharp gale
#

if he gets aggro he should move so you are between him and the mobs

opal perch
lusty grotto
#

pre casting heals is totally fine

lusty grotto
#

they only get agro if we havent actually hit the mobs

#

easily fixed

sharp gale
#

if you are mount pulling

#

or stuff like that

opal ledge
#

avoid mount pulling xD

lusty grotto
#

which you shouldnt be because that's considered you as sitting

#

and you cannot block

sharp gale
#

in low keys it's fine

lusty grotto
#

if youre mount pulling, the healer has to be mounting as well

sharp gale
#

or arakara start

lusty grotto
#

and at the very least, a shocking disclosure on you

sharp gale
#

idk i've healed some keys usually tanks mount pull academy first pull for few packs

lusty grotto
#

i never do the 1 pull mounted

#

no reason to

sharp gale
#

yes it is bad to do, but it happens, quite common i would say

coarse bay
#

I have never considered mount pulling that

#

I woke from sleep for this

lusty grotto
#

if its something they are doing, they should comunicate it beforehand

sharp gale
coarse bay
#

Interesting

lusty grotto
#

feels super unnecessary as warrior

sharp gale
#

in my push keys on my war, they NEVER mount pull, and they always wait the patrol

lusty grotto
#

leap charge charge

#

yeah thats wild

sharp gale
#

so if the tank waits the patrol or not, i know if it's gonna be a wild one or not keks

@lusty grotto is it worth dropping apex talents for battle scarred veteran if I’m running 10-12 keys?

not even for higher keys

Icy veins build does not use battle scarred veteran is it not worth it?

do we follow the icyveins builds or wowhead?
