lust on first add spawn, so it lasts into the damage amp

daring marlin
#

no kick is a guaranteed wipe

#

assuming they don't die

trim condor
#

I used wall and still get blasted into oblivion, because that mofo cleaver had that cleave shadow dmg ready together with boss doing tank buster

lusty grotto

lusty grotto

#

but if you dont

#

then yes you wanna wall on the add spawn buster

My likely bonus roll dungeon is pit

lusty grotto

#

hammer?

coarse bay
#

If u mean the bonus roll loot pool

#

Then it only removes from pool when you roll for it afaik

#

Not if you have one

sharp gale
daring marlin
#

neck and hammer are def big value

#

seat could be a good one to roll for but it has WAY too many items in there

#

would only lead to sadness

sharp gale
#

So im gonna roll in the dungeon I have the most items I need

coarse bay
#

Oh thats what u meant

daring marlin
#

a bunch of people will prolly do nexus

#

fore the rings

#

guaranteed eventually ya know

sharp gale
#

Yeah I hesitate with nexus

coarse bay

I agree with whatever offers the most upgrades, i thought u were talking about how it does the loot pool as u roll items

ST rage gen shouldnt be an issue if youre running at least instigate

trim condor
#

pain and gain and field dressing is useless, right? better to use max rage and revenge refund there

daring marlin
#

oh

#

I did that without 4pc

#

I'm an idiot

#

haha!

undone beacon
#

NOOBER ALERT

#

i dont like this gif

lusty grotto
#

i personally run revenge refund, but field dressing can be optional

trim condor
#

not sure where I imported these talents, but now when I am checking it, it seems like its just padding from pain and gain

undone beacon
#

it was just the first thing that came up when i typed noober into gif search

lusty grotto
#

i mean thats the icyveins build

#

should be fine

undone beacon
#

Pain and Gain also branches to Spell Reflect, which is essential

#

So you need either P&G or Intervene

trim condor
#

oh wait true

lusty grotto
#

yeah pain and gain is fine

trim condor
#

I was testing dummy rage manage and I cant get under 1 minute shield wall cd

lusty grotto
#

thats accurate

#

should be around 50s

#

more or less

trim condor
#

and isnt that xenas boss buster like every 30 sec?

#

maybe I am wrong and it was longer

lusty grotto
#

you have 2 walls

#

so yes it adds up

trim condor
#

yeah and in pugs, that boss sometimes takes even 4 minutes 😄

but will try next time, ty for info

Good luck my friend

Insert wise phrase here

I am just trying whats warrior about because last my maisara caverns run, I had protection warrior with 120k dmg taken overall, was insanely hard to heal him and wanted to check if mobs there slaps warrior or he wasnt pressing buttons

Until they change how the class works, those are Prot's main weaknesses

#

Bursts of magic damage can be handled decently well with access to SR's DR portion/Shield Wall and the like, hence why I specificed sustained magic damage

#

@daring marlin hmu if you wanna do more imma go back to playing berry bury berry and pestering people on teams til then

pallid quiver
#

There's random other niche cases (enemies that reduce your block chance like the minibosses in uhhhhhhh ToP, that's the dungo)

jagged pier
trim condor
#

it seemed like shield block uptime problem I think, he had most of the dmg white hits

sharp gale
#

Are we scared of armor reductions ? Like nexus point left side

#

I don’t feel I am

coarse bay
lusty grotto
#

hmm

#

armor reductions arent huge but you should def reset if given the chance

pallid quiver
sharp gale
#

At one point I had 99% armor reductions in a random 10 or 12 I didn’t instantly die

trim condor
#

but I didnt log, so who knows

lusty grotto
#

yeah happy, the problem with it is armored to the teeth

pallid quiver
sharp gale
#

Is it nexus point or masara carvern tho ? Sorry I don’t remember where shitters put the armor reduction

pallid quiver
#

So it's never something to be scared of, but it's nice to not have

pallid quiver
#

fuck if i know i ain't even level cap yet

Was going to think about working on that now that I'm back from fight game land

trim condor
tribal wharf
#

tldr for the first (pink) boss of nexus is just "clear when it starts to get foggy" right

lusty grotto
#

actually not sure if WS is armor reduction or damage taken

trim condor
tribal wharf
#

hunter didnt know, and thats how i explained it as a tldr

lusty grotto
#

then i was right the first time

#

anyway its easy to reset

trim condor
#

yeah reset is easy, but I was feeling it tbh, when I hit 50 stacks, my health moved faster

sharp gale
# lusty grotto WS

Maybe it is, I just remember hovering the 30stacks of debuff and being ???? at 99% less armor

trim condor
#

not big like bleeds tho

#

mm, ws is 1% per stack, so maybe it wasnt WS

sharp gale
#

I don’t tank a lot, and I do lot of keys sorry

#

Vague memory of one of my 150 keys keks

lusty grotto
trim condor
#

propably WS then, its 1% per stack and go up quickly on first pull there 😄

ive taken 120 stacks before

For pwar are the only good trinkets from raid? All the s and a tier i am seeing are raid drops (keep in mind that in this tier all trinkets should be put into heroic tier since i sont have patients for myrh raidanymkre)

I got to do paladins so im happy

oh shit I think I hold crests incase weapon drops on paladins

I could win that

yeah im less happy, middle-end of the fight i kinda struggle the arms gaming

with tanks still learning

arms suffers drastically whenever tank movement is bad on a pull

it happens

just go next hope that isnt the kill pull xD

sharp gale

i hope i do blue or purple parse so i have free ticket for any next guild apply

#

might reclear as arms tomorrow

This raid tier lists says fury is the go to.. but for paladins arms goes up to b

I'm full arms gaming always now

I will not be speccing fury again

another hof guild tried to recruit me in manaforge prog but i don't leave during prog, they found a warrior in the meantime

Why would a hof be a trap? 40 hour raid times?

dusky canopy

becuase they advertise 3 or 4 days but really do 6 days

6 raid per week to do same wr as 3 days hof guilds

big splits, gear their prefered core

dusky canopy

yeah thats ass

i like it

the brain drug of killing it

lusty grotto

can optimize optimize optimize

#

it only stops being fun when you can no longer optimize

uncut burrow
#

Nothing wrong with the progging and the raiding (and still enjoy to this day) but there’s a point where the enjoyment kind of peters off, especially if stuck on a particular boss for a lengthy period of time. Just a matter of finding that perfect balance.

Should I change the loot to Arms to get better trinkets? I already have mythic shield and 1h

lusty grotto

you dont get "better trinkets" as dps loot spec

#

there's no dps exclusive trinket that's good

#

not this season

#

but yes you can

pastel summit
#

Are there bad trinkets you'd exclude by not being prot

lusty grotto
#

a lot of mid defensive options i guess

#

including jelly

pastel summit

I imagine that's what they're asking

#

as opposed to, like, am I missing good dps trinkets by being prot

undone beacon
onyx hearth
#

Yea, just asking which option give me more chances to get better trinkets

lusty grotto
#

yeah but there's a lot of bad dps trinkets too

undone beacon
#

Wonder what the 1% cutoff is gonna look like

lusty grotto
#

you'd have to count and calculate the odds

#

see whats exclusive count that into a pool

#

personally im not gonna bother

#

im just staying prot

#

probably use a bonus roll to get a myth 2h next week and that's it

north pecan
#

btw we opening vault in prot spec if we already have 285 weapon/shield?

onyx hearth
#

My thinking is that going dps loot, you exclude all tanks trinkets, so it give more chance to drop Puzzel box and heart of wind, right?

lusty grotto
lusty grotto
onyx hearth
#

Isn't bad dps trinkets already drop in prot spec?

lusty grotto
#

for raid, it makes sense

#

for keys it does not

north pecan
#

Well with weapon and shield getting item lvl upgrade next week

north pecan
#

I guess getting the max item lvl for em is ideal

tribal wharf
#

this sucked

#

we still made it within the timer

#

but i figured 3 packs with no blood lust

#

why not 2

lusty grotto
#

myth weapon and myth shield are better than crafted

#

period

#

doesnt matter if the ilvl increases or not

#

and furthermore, its very likely crafted items will increase in ilvl as well (but they will still be 1 upgrade behind myth tracks)

harsh trellis
#

I just pad the chains with other shit around the area

onyx hearth
#

Is this worth it or just garbage? My other option is a myth legs

lusty grotto
#

giga bis gloves

onyx hearth
#

lol, I almost went for the legs

harsh trellis
#

yeah youd of got legs came here to post

#

and then unsubscribed

#

seriously won the lotto

lusty grotto
#

i mean tbf, if you got legs you just use a bonus roll next week on seat

onyx hearth
#

Usually these type of itens has less stats

lusty grotto
#

not usually

#

we've had a lot of cantrips without reduced stats

#

since DF at least

onyx hearth
#

Wait, if I transfor it to tier set, it loses it bonuses?

lusty grotto
#

bro

#

you dont turn it into tier

#

thats your offpiece

#

at stated in the icy-veins guide

#

specifically due to them, but also because tier gloves have no haste

onyx hearth
#

good to know

quaint vessel
#

gave it another try and smashed thunderclap and shield slam like a bot

lusty grotto
#

yeah those look good

#

and your effective blocking is at 90%

#

could use improvement but youre at acceptable levels now

quaint vessel
#

xD

#

ouch but ty!

late trellis
#

is craft -> myth shield upgrade always the go to in vault? I'm a little hesitant because boots sims higher and would give me the haste I'm missing on the slot, and I'd be going crit/vers shield and losing the haste on the shield

lusty grotto
#

depends if you raid myth or not

#

and if you're not pushing keys

late trellis
#

I do raid myth on the war

quaint vessel
#

feels like playing fury but as a tank version

late trellis
#

no key pushing on it

lusty grotto
#

then dont pick myth tracks since you can get it in raid

#

1st boss drops myth track shield

#

saladbar drops myth track weapon

late trellis
#

Ah I see what you mean

lusty grotto
#

alleria drops a better myth track weapon

late trellis
#

I kinda made the mistake of picking sword because my warr was something I had to get up quickly for raid

#

like from a previous vault

lusty grotto
#

and belo'ren also drops a shield

late trellis
#

but that makes sense, so I can just pick boots and just farm shield in raid

lusty grotto
#

yup

fallow fern
#

Do we know how these bonus rolls are going to work? Is there a post somewhere?

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

its a once a week thing

#

so lets say you want gloves

#

you send it on a seat

#

or if you want a raid item, you send it in raid

#

back when it was initially dicussed you needed 2 weeks per raid item

fallow fern
#

Does it guarantee gloves.. or just an item from seat?

lusty grotto
#

but not sure

#

no

#

its not guaranteed

#

but if you get an item, it's removed from the bonus loot pool forever

fallow fern
#

Hmm

lusty grotto
#

and from what i remember reading, they are myth tracks

#

im not sure if a specific key level was needed though (probably does)

Damn, I just took mythic gloves last week cause i thought no way I'll ever get voidclaw.. but now there's a chance!

#

So it works with the vault? Or it's separate from the vault?

lusty grotto
#

separate

fallow fern
#

So in theory (outside of raid) could get 2 myth items per week

vital stirrup
lusty grotto
#

correct

fallow fern
#

Interesting. Should have taken the damn myth cloak lol, oh well

#

Any speculation on when crest cap would be removed?

outer willow
lusty grotto
#

its always much later in the season

#

turbo boost is just happening sooner

fallow fern
#

You took cloak?

lusty grotto
#

but the crest cap remains as is

#

bleh, myth boots in my vault but it's trash stats.

lusty grotto
fallow fern
#

Yea mine was mythic gloves or cloak.. couldn't decide but took gloves in a rash decision before raid lol

maiden ravine
#

are the cata boots good?

outer willow
#

Yes

lusty grotto
#

go check

#

just put some hero boots in

#

or whatever track

fallow fern
#

They are crit haste i think

lusty grotto
#

REGARDLESS

outer willow
#

That sounds delicious

lusty grotto
#

its an ilvl upgrade

#

"but its trash stats" is not a good argument for not picking them

#

ilvl > all

outer willow
#

You haven’t lived till you’ve crit block

lusty grotto
#

and there arent any "trash stats"

outer willow
#

Intellect

maiden ravine
#

boots are just a feel bad slot for a first myth vault on a character.

Nope it’s real

#

I can't wait for all the monk rerollers chasing the 1% mount

lusty grotto
outer willow
#

Oh my god

#

But… my season ends at KSL. Don’t do this to me

lament osprey
#

Now if they switch it 1% toward the class

maiden ravine
#

I mean 3400 is probably as hard as 3k was in TWW s2.

lusty grotto
#

TWW s2 wasnt hard

#

try TWW S1

#

or any DF season

maiden ravine
#

there wasn't a 3k mount in those seasons

lusty grotto
#

still

#

it wasnt hard

maiden ravine
#

and I'm saying 3400 this season isn't that much harder.

lusty grotto
#

3400 = 3400 of TWW s2

#

not 3k

#

similar diffy

#

or if anything

#

3600 tww s2 = 3400 midnight s1

#

to say tww s2 was easier

outer willow
#

Man idk how you guys are so tanky. 3400 is scary as hell

#

But I’m not mythic geared at all

#

We’ll see

lusty grotto
#

its not about being tanky

#

its about knowing the dungeon

glacial stratus
#

hello, new player tank here. im curious does anyone know do DoTs in this game update dynamically in relation to your defences? So e.g. i have a fire debuff on me that does 5k dmg per second and i then pop my spell reflect to reduce the magic dmg will it be reduced, or do i have to pop it before the application

outer willow
#

Man I feel like I know seat pretty well. Can I push it to 3400? Unsure.

lusty grotto
#

DR and dps buffs are dynamic in most cases

outer willow
#

If I had badass DPS, sure

lusty grotto
#

there's still some snapshotting but...

#

it doesnt apply to us

glacial stratus
lusty grotto
#

or any tank tbh, maybe dotc druids do with their dps

lusty grotto
#

absolutely 0

glacial stratus
#

okay, ty very much

lusty grotto
#

what you cant beat now, you will overgear later

fallow fern
#

Damn, just was reading about bonus rolls.. Definitely wish I hadn't taken the myth gloves this week since the will just be replaced.. kinda seems like a waste 😕

steady pond
#

Hey mate appreciate your time looking at my logs, could you elaborate more on SB management please

lusty grotto
#

can you link the log again

lusty grotto
#

hover over hits

#

in damage taken

#

76% is very low

#

you should be 90%+

#

youre playing ITF

woven perch
#

shield block having downtime = getting trained, cant run ITF if yo dont have the haste for it

lusty grotto
#

which is why i told you to read the pinned message

#

that addresses WHEN to talent ITF

outer willow
lusty grotto
#

and when not to

#

your talent pick is hurting your SB uptime

woven perch
#

i can prob go ITF now, but indom lets me brainless up to +14's

lusty grotto
#

and/or your abiility to keep track of it

steady pond
lusty grotto
#

or at 15s

#

or at 16s

#

i dont play it

#

and we dont need it

steady pond
#

can i just slam sb on cd? or i should think when press it?

lusty grotto
#

do not press on cd

woven perch
lusty grotto
#

its not doing much for you

#

youre overestimating how much it actually helps

steady pond
#

ok but if im tracking it how do i know when i press and when i dont

#

if it is on the pinned msg im sorry

lusty grotto
steady pond
#

ill ready it

lusty grotto
#

and when mobs arent about to die

steady pond
#

read

woven perch
#

well i was getting trucked in 10's first week until i switched to it because I wasn't able to keep SB up, now the only thing that trucks me are bleeds and those stupid enchanted weapons in algethar

lusty grotto
#

and i can guarantee you that its false

woven perch
#

🤷‍♂️ was taking more damage before, now less, like i said i could prob go ITF now, but meh

#

im not pushing keys any higher than 14's

lusty grotto
#

youre taking less damage because of gear, not because of indom

steady pond
#

thank you so much mate

#

appreciate your time

lusty grotto
#

if youre not pushing farther than 14s, all the more reason not to play it

woven perch
lusty grotto
#

link me 2 logs

#

one with and one without

#

and ill show you how youre taking less damage

#

and i can guarantee, willing to bet a million bucks on it, that its not due to indom

#

indom does not make you "tankier"

fringe mural
#

wow can save logs on its own right? with a command

#

i want to log my next 10+ key to check how my sb uptime looks

lusty grotto
#

make sure you have advanced combat logging on and then type /combatlog

fringe mural
#

is it normal that revenge deals tons of dmg in keys?

lusty grotto
#

it should be 3rd or 4th on the breakdown sure

fringe mural
#

i might not be pressing tc often enough because it's higher

#

it's sharing the top with tc

lusty grotto
#

are you mentioning details breakdown or logs?

fringe mural
#

i didn't log yet

outer willow
lusty grotto
#

this is a correct play breakdown

#

TC is under revenge, because the damage meter splits it

woven perch
daring marlin
#

rip spellblock

#

goated talent

fringe mural
lusty grotto
#

yes

quaint vessel
fringe mural
#

because i just tested at the group of mobs in silvermoon for like 3 minutes and had this

#

if i add them together it doesn't look too bad

lusty grotto
#

thats why we dont really look at details (or blizzard damage meter) breakdowns

lime spruce
#

Well well well 👀

fringe mural
#

yeah it's confusing

lusty grotto
#

its also way more accurate than damage meters

#

which is the important part about logs

#

not that damage meters are confusing

fringe mural
#

yeah i just wanted to see a rough overview

#

which i got

lusty grotto
#

let me just say that youre extremely low on SS

#

that's vanilla SS

#

not including phalanx

#

breakdown should be TB and then SS

#

then TC and Revenge tied

#

if anything TC being ahead for a little

#

and phalanx right under those

fringe mural
#

against 5 mobs?

lusty grotto
#

with TaN under that

#

target count does not matter

fringe mural
lusty grotto
#

is TC always up?

#

why are you prio'ing something that has a cd

#

over your biggest rage-generator

#

that also cleaves with apex

woven perch
lusty grotto
#

not only that but SS procs TB

#

Re: the Umbral Champion achievement, has it always been the top 1%, I thought it was the top .1% before, or is that cutoff still there and just something different

fringe mural
lusty grotto
#

sure

fringe mural
#

okay i have adv logging on, and i type /combatlog and start smashing right?

lusty grotto
#

yup

fringe mural
#

what makes the most sense, the raider training dummy or the 5 guys?

#

something that fights back probably to see TaN

lusty grotto
#

i feel thats pretty straightforward

fringe mural
#

i probably didn't catch you

#

what is straightforward

lusty grotto
#

you answered yourself

fringe mural
#

so the last option

#

raider tanking dummy

lusty grotto
#

what are you looking for

#

fyi we dont really analyze dummy logs

fringe mural
#

if i press the buttons at the right time

lusty grotto
#

you can do it

#

but im not gonna go over it

#

real scenarios are better

steady pond
#

bro that talent change made all the diference, i love u man @lusty grotto

fringe mural
#

no i will do it myself

#

np

fringe mural
#

ah screw it it's late already i'll log a key tomorrow

lusty grotto
#

let me just confirm something before you go to sleep

fringe mural
#

?

lusty grotto
#

at 5+ targets

#

you do TC > SS

#

but again

#

your SS is still low

lusty grotto
#

and obviously TC wont be up as much as SS

lusty grotto
#

does that make sense @fringe mural ?

uncut wren
#

hi all! quick question. im learning prot and im a little confused on whether or not i should always be shield slamming with phalanx or whether i should just spam slams on cd in group content

lusty grotto
#

less than 5 targets SS takes prio (after TB)

fringe mural
#

at 5 targets i have this now

#

i focused more on ss this time

fringe mural
#

3 minutes breakdown

lusty grotto
#

i trust thats at the 5 dummies

fringe mural
#

yeah

#

it is

uncut wren
lusty grotto
#

ok yeah thats totally fine

uncut wren
#

thanks a lot!!

lusty grotto
#

if youre just starting out do so

#

like we we're talking above, at 5+ targets just slam TC

#

otherwise SS

mighty valley
#

you just naturally proc phalanx a ton without thinking about it

uncut wren
#

awesome, thanks guys

daring marlin
#

this game man

#

cecire got the other ring the prior run

fringe mural
#

this was against the single raider dummy

#

the one that doesnt attack

#

so i don't hit other stuff by accident

#

so yeah st ss is waaaaay up

#

of course this doesn't tell much about the play in a real combat scenario, but it helps the muscle memory

lusty grotto
#

but again its not substitute for logs

fringe mural
#

yeah i know

lusty grotto
#

since we cannot see CPMs or APM in general

solid sun
#

Log your training dummy

lusty grotto
#

he was gonna do that but its late for him

#

and honestly it should be better to just log a key or a raid

fringe mural

yeah

what's the tech on a bunch of people crafting loa band? can't make a sim that shows it as a dps increase but maybe i'm doing something wrong

theres no tech

it just sims higher for them

#

if by a "bunch of people" you mean an aggregate site

daring marlin
lusty grotto

youre mostly looking at people that are myth geared to the teeth

no i'm opening like 50 wcl pages at a time

dang @lusty grotto even my favorite degenerate prot warrior Boost is rolling 4/4 Apex

#

waow

lusty grotto
#

lmao

#

i mean he has been for a while

daring marlin
#

POINT BEING NOT RUNNING IT IS TROLL

#

anyway

lusty grotto
#

he did try 1/4, but went back to 4/4

daring marlin
#

prolly thought "wow this is bad and stupid!"

heavy sparrow
opal ledge
#

i think if i play 4/4 i would drop instigate

fallow fern
#

Is there any limit to bonus rolls or the ilvl upgrade things(like dinars had) or is it just 1 per week?

lusty grotto
#

1 per week

fallow fern
#

Ok

lusty grotto
#

its stuck in time

#

compared to that time window snapshot

lofty warren
#

but is that per ilvl

lusty grotto
#

and not with today's parses

daring marlin
#

6 runs of M+ today and I got a single trinket

#

lmao

lusty grotto
#

as gear progresses damage goes higher, so it would be unfair to compare you with newer parses

#

thats basically it

lofty warren
#

to newer parses but hist % doesn't retain what it was relative to your ilvl at that point in time i believe

lusty grotto
#

when enough time passes, and patches hit, they are usually split into different tabs if they are big big patches

opal ledge
#

i'm still trying to decide x.x
the gloves are not that bad and seems a safer pick

lofty warren
#

only myth gear in vault is from M+ and here is my guy. what look spec to open vault with?

lusty grotto
#

you only consider other options if you have myth weapon and myth shield

#

on your specific case

lofty warren
#

myth shield is only like a 4 ilvl upgrade? that is bigger than upgrading chest from hero to myth?

lusty grotto
#

that is if you get one

#

youre not guaranteed any of them

hardy snow
#

you can still get chest as prot lootspec 🤷‍♂️

lusty grotto
#

and trinkets

vivid orchid
#

Tww S3 never got either

lusty grotto
#

including the good trinkets

vivid orchid
#

So that can happen

lofty warren
#

just not sure about trinkets.. whats the best m+ trinket? heart of wind?

lusty grotto
#

theres a couple

#

solar core is the best defensive trinket

opal ledge
opal ledge
lofty warren
#

🙁 still need to do raid to try to get the gays from chimireon

lusty grotto
#

solar flare prism does well in ST

#

contract does well in aoe

#

if you dont like the all mighty puzzle box

#

which completely stomps them

#

and i know you dont like it so

#

just mentioning it

sharp gale
#

Fuck puzzlebox

lusty grotto
#

prism also does well in aoe

opal ledge
lusty grotto
#

you go solar core

#

cause you just giga defensive everything

#

so no reason to half ass your defensive crusade

sharp gale
opal ledge
#

you got a point

lusty grotto
#

again its the best defensive trinket this season

lusty grotto
#

its a treemouth without the drawbacks

sharp gale
#

I want to see the amount at 272 just by curiosity

lusty grotto
#

and with a vers boost

opal ledge
#

versa only boots if the shield dont break

lusty grotto
#

which it wont

#

cause partial absorbs usually last the entire time

#

if youre playing correctly

sharp gale
#

That seems a decent one yep, I would take it

lusty grotto
#

and using cds

sharp gale
#

What would you use as only m+ trinkets ? Core and heart ?

lusty grotto
#

me?

#

heart and box

sharp gale
lusty grotto
#

but the alternative is heart and core for defensiveness

#

and/or heart and flare

#

as an alternative to heart + box

undone beacon
#

I’m a big solarflare prism boy now

the alternative is puzzlebox

ST sim is usually the standard at 3 mins or 5 mins

Do any specs even support/recommend anything besides patchwerk these days (or the few that do dungeon slice)?

lusty grotto

yes

#

but their APL is fucking insanely complicated

#

DH for example

warm plinth
#

Interesting. What do they sim with?

lusty grotto
#

it works with dungeon slice and MDT iirc

#

could have changed

Oh I was thinking more like hectic add cleave or the beast something one

lusty grotto
#

could be, i can check in a bit

chilly brook
#

I'm clearly a serious individual

daring marlin

This seems to specify weapons and trinkets.

undone beacon

Old turbo boost added a few extra levels to all items on hero and myth track

This new one is just weapons and trinkets
