Oh well before they nerfed her as tank
i pull everything together and she shreds
Was fun me and gf playing 2 healers and just making tank valeera do the delve
lol
btw i instantly noticed that i have an indestructible shield now
gonna be rich soon yo
Like i just think the content can be better, because i only want to play games with friends and it feels a little punishing sometimes
Hell ya
Big stonks
if you don't turn it off you have a huge ass bag on your back when mining
Id lose to you
all playing healer with val as dps
see who is faster
training for healer off dps championship
PIing yourself next time yo
so i cleared a M10 yesterday before reset even in my warlogs its written i already cleared 2. but in r.io there it says i only did one and also in my GV i didnt get a myth item. thats cringe....
Im pretty sure it was on time. but maybe not. anyway it doesnt matter for gv or does it?
Itd still be there
What are the odds its a week old vault?
Try opening it again
I'm 271 with a blue shield and Vet sword (making switch from fury)
Am I good to tank 10s with that low of a shield and main hand?
Should be
Those are incredibly important slots, but you have strong gear and a lot of people tanked 10s week 1 with similar shield. It mostly comes down to your play
keep at it eventually it will give you purple shield
What if I want to be touched

Nope
damn
the weapon is a pretty unimportant piece is it not?
it has very little str on it and the high dps skills don't scale with your weapon dps don't they?
Weapon is the most important for damage
There’s a reason crafted wep was recommended as first craft
let em know
From the classic MS-DOS Warcraft.
#warcraft #msdos #warcraftmemes
me not that kind of orc
okay ss scales with weapon dps
then it makes sense
it physically makes no sense that it does, but it does
maybe the weapon behind the shield makes the slam more menacing
lol
I shoulda 
one of these days
im going to do a phone vault picture
i havent really posted any of my vaults
they all suck
As a question, with the new bonus rolls coming, whuch dungeons would be best to use them on in order to get the highest volume of useful mythic track pieces? Bonus if there is also good arms loot to be had in there
Run a droptimizer sim
On like raidbots?
details
Yes
Nice
its funny cause i think he called it
I DID
but from vault not the dungeon
very nice dude
he did die to stuff twice
shred and entropy
indestructible hero chest out of it anyways
so now i will super never need to repair chest and can do it for free even if with smith hammer
I just want blizz to fix how fast our shield breaks lol ill do a dungeon not die and its half broken by the end 😂
Repair costs hurt
progging m Dragons. we are 3 tanking with a blood. weve heard rumor that there is like a double soak on the null beam. can someone tell me more about it or is it just rumor?
cuz like, i dont think an embellishment would remove it
but it deals like, 10 dmg
and you cant put another type of shield spike there?
which i think whould be great
this is one i meant to show
when thats filled out in a month or 2, along with weapon, i'll have zero repair cost
barring that i accidently use vendor and hit repair out of habit
I see lots of different talent builds on what's best for M+
Does anyone know the current meta one for prot warriors?
We suggest icyveins
There isnt really a meta build really, the icyveins one is a really good general build, and there are some choices you can make for yourself
And for 16+ keys what should I be trying to do?
if you have questions why we do or do not take a talent just ask and someone will explain why
does each dungeon require different talents>
You’d be able to do 16+ without changing anything from the icyveins build
For all dungeons
kk ty
1 more question
Heavy Repercussions (HR) to Into The Fray that's noted
I should swap if i have that haste req
assuming the talent will help me do more damage
You run HR until at least 1188 haste rating
That post explains it well
Or else you will run into SB downtime
kk i thought so, more damage the better!
i had such a noob moment... i tought health potion shared cd with pre pot and was not using them
Like… flasks?
guess I still need 102 more haste to run itf
Hi, should i cata that?
actually 1071 haste // 578 crit // 106 vers // 412 mastery
As i understood we want haste right?
yeah go ahead and cata it
thanks
do we pref crit over vers? i checked some top guys and they are all doing diff things
Almost like nobody is in bis gear yet
2500 soon probably
Womp womp. Yeah they don't even have to be used preemptively anymore. They have a fixed 5 min cd regardless of combat
we do, but it comes down to simming
the basic concept last i knew is haste >> crit = mastery= versa
the top guys basically equip myth gear regardless of stats
they might be swapping shit this week
im atm 3k4 and was just copy pasting everytalents, just found your pin about the ITF and i was running it since the beginning ahah
shouldn't copy paste talents
1/4 builds are no bueno
4/4 apex builds are good though
He means not copying builds from like raider io or aggregate sites
Using the icy veins build is a great start and if you wanted to know about flex points or recommendations for variations and why we do or don’t do certain things asking here is a solid play
how u guys dealing with the fire debuff in skyreach?
like around how many stacks do you want to def drop them?
@lusty grotto got trolled
i just got a gaze
but i passed to the guild
Where you guys getting 18 routes?
10 is though
Need kite
Skyreach most hurt devuff is armor reduction
Im having issue getting range on single target, espc if boss isnt attacking alot
rage*
nice
boss isn't attacking a lot? nah that aint it
youre just not using SS enough
and probably spamming the shit out of IP when you should not
a log might help
remember to read this #protection message
Very little of our total rage comes from being hit. The largest chunk comes from shield slam by a wide margin.
M+ push group has formed within the guild and I’m the odd one out in terms of class smh
Sucks to suck I suppose
i just got my last piece of gear and im 1 haste above the number for ITF 😂
u should tell them that you help me and that really means something
You'll always be in my push group

Whenever you want me to furiously rampage your 15's and 16's and 17's
Just let me know
And when I suck you can let me down gently
they fucking ruined belo'ren
this heroic swap is too easy now
it was easy before but at least it was fun
now its just afk time
you gotta think about the Pugs trying to clear HC Marsh too, not only you and guildies yk
they had to nerf things for the majority of the playerbase, just look at the clear rate
yeah i know
im overreacting
cause i really did have fun with the first iteration of the swap
but its nbd can just wait for mythic

Is there any addon that can help me track certain debuffs? Take the bleed in skyreach for example, I can see it on my party frames but Ideally I want to have any current debuff in its own square, somewhere way bigger is that still possible?
Exactly, they never added a new and harder difficulty, they just changed the names and added on the bottom, you know normal was always easy if you knew what you were doing
do u guys watch plkatv? the prot rank 1?
any info on arcanoweave's embelishment uptime for dual-crafted items?
No.
Yes,pick any log that has it and check.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/6qfmk9HxNwKBy2QJ?fight=19&type=auras&source=4 first one I clicked.
that guy is running colossus with 2 active defensive trinkets
what sorcery is this
(windrunner +17)
well it's not usual for certain
it's the only one playing double defensive, and the only one playing colossus
(baed on top 100 runs of windrunners spire)
i can't decide what to pick from vault

if you feel like you can use box optimally, grab it
otherwise myth gloves
algethar is very powerful, it's just a hassle to use it
i'm more thinking about the solar core to be honest
but idk, i like running hear of wind and heart of hunger
it's the best defensive trinket for sure
200k shield in 1:30 cd don't feel like a game changer... a few guys are running it on really high keys tho
maybe it will be useful in 15's? idk
maybe a hero grade of this trinket is enough tho
idk i've been doing some 14-15s using gaze and feather/heart quite well
where did this propaganda start that macroing shield block into shield slam was a good idea?
I have to cables people up every now and then it's about the same cast-time
tbh honest is not as bad as IP + Shield Slam
Keeps coming up in my yt feeds as suggested 😂
Strimmers
Not us
Or miss intuprting the macro, that is to snipe ss resets its not used as a ss bind but as an ip bind
U still have ss bound on a different key
U can macro SS into any gcd button if u want sb avatar etc cause all it will do is snipe resets if they happen. But if u are macroing it to an gcd that doesnt spend rage u nees to be careful not to overcap hence why it works for ip and sb cause they spend the rage before ss give u it
What ?
k, so I tried tanking m0, as 199 prot war, it's been a pain in the ass. Sustain on packs was fine, but the failed mechanics on boss (on dps side) put me into holy flames. Got a follow-up question, as prot war seems to be a shit loads of different buttons, which r limited for me cause I play on this thing + got 5 buttons on my mouse.
What macroses do u use? If u don't mind sharing'em here/in personals - would be awesome.
What offensives do u use? Cause there is a plenty, but I would love to limit the usage to 5-10 max.
My layout on the keypad is similar for every char. 1-5 - offensives.
6-10 - offensives (major)/forms (e.x.-avatar for prot war)/proc cooldowns.
11-15 - defensives.
16-19 - major defensives.
20 is jump, circular is raid save (shout as per prot war).
I've got ignore pain, tab, CC and taunt binded to mouse buttons.
ik 199 is low af for m0, it was a test run and everyone knew it. Just looking forward to optimizing the usage of buttons by combining those who are meant to be combined.
The only buttons we dont press are whirlwind and slam
like at all? Cause these r main buttons I use as per offensive.. or was it sarcams?
whirlwind and slam are literally useless
We literally dont press them
Your main offensive buttons are SS and TC
The revenge
Your main defensive is Shield Block
imma be real with you, you can't play pwar with a max of 10 keybinds even if you use macros. you technically can just throw out the window a few buttons and talent into some passive but I wouldn't take it into high end content
Follows by IP when u need to spend rage
Well it's not 10, it's 25, I'm just looking forward to optimizing what can be optimized
But then u need avatar demo, inturpt, shield wall, wrecking throw, aoe taunt, fear/slow shout, zerker rage, storm bolt, charge, leap
Execute kinda i guess
I'm saving ur msg's for review once I'm home.
ok well as great way to optimize is using a modifier such as ctrl
I suggest reading the icu veins guide our prio/rotstion is in there
then you can essentially use evey keybind for 2-3 different things
ICU veins
I've checked it, and watched several videos, I'll work on rotation and button usage
I really wouodnt watch videos
How and why? Who even came up with it.
A lot of these only guides etc have the wrong information

I dont know but it was a thing last expansion, i dunno its seems to have gotten worse this expansion tho
I am interested.... go on
I've got no ctrl, I posted a pic of what I play from. It's all already binded to 1-0, ctrl 1-0, alt 1-0. Point is to combine whatever buttons can be combined, to pull the button usage to same layout as I use on my other chars.
I've got no interest in chatting in game, thus I simply keep keyboard god knows where, just to open like LFG menu etc.
Haste itf hr explanation
Was it validated for proper values?
I mean u wanna change it feel free
Yeah, every video seems to explain somewhat differently and it's making no sense, if u combine all the info 😄
Jakey needs to make a prot video guide.
All specs have issues with guides because ppl just make them for money, majority of them are just flat out wrong, like alot of times they dont even soend rage
Memeber when i did do that and a video on how to read logs so i didnt have to anymore 
oh, got a q about ignore pain. U said main defensive is shield block, rather then IP. Do I always prioritize SB, or do I need to keep up several stacks of IP, as an ironfur on guardian druid?

No u prio shield block
Ip is literally there to dump rage, which u have a lot of once u are over 70 rage u just send ip
Its that simple
understood, tnx!
me pressing revenge
Me pressing demolish next reset
Ya,make a guide now.
In office cant do that
20 second cd 
I just took the first prot warrior guide I found on yt and it said Indom is big heals and you should take execute talents for dam while TaN is "just withering down enemies so not taken" - talking about m+.


U can move inbetween that

Yah,I'm gonna advise Col in ST and MT for m+ (spoilers).
And then secretly play Col in m+ myself cause spamming Demolish is fun.
Holy o.o
his eyes are up there
I mean yer i cant advise most ppl to play col in m+ cause its much harder, maybe for low stuff i suppose
tried out demolish right when 2nd boss in voidspire does his smack, can confirm it still interupts your demo
Guilty 

I have a champion gaze, champion guidon, and just got a myth heart of wind, which combo should i use? different for damage vs survival?
Heart of wind + gaze would be my go-to.
Have to flex a lil, badass santa
is the crucible worth it for some dungeons/secnarios
with gaze and mythic heart I doubt
do we know if blizzard plan on adding dinars again with the turbo boost ?
i haven't seen anything about that yet, but given the fact that dinars were there for the other turbo boosts i wonder
To target specific loot?
yeah
got hero shoulders now, my 4pc hero set is complete 🙏🏻
Yay
big
I will need to get hero shoulders from delve to swap them, i already have the manaflux for it
my holy pal got a myth chest 3 vaults in a row
or i'll just go pit again and again and again

i'm 60 haste away from the breakpoint
if i get seat gloves or a ring with swapped stats i can swap to itf
Second Manaflux achiev 
yeah, i have it for warr and druid now
same xD
got it for monk pala and warr
pit has really nice warrior drops
🗣️
I did feel a lil bad dragging my champ/hero ass into lfr to steal vet set piece
just a bit
and i need to get the waist from windrunner for the massive haste
i need the rings from NPX 
i have the firelands ring which is really strong
on heroic
widow's band
175 haste 100 mastery i think
Got this shit almost done too, I like the red set alot ngl, teh shoulders somehow remind me of the Mannoroth Shoulders
my only non hero pieces are both damn trinkets 
I still got my champ trinket and bracers from week 1
lucky they're s tier, unlucky I wont replace them any time soon
i have champ alnseer and hero delve trinket
I always forget the name of that helm
Str with strongest secondary proc
aye, also champ gaze and ranger captains (is pretty good for brew)
i was quite lucky to get all hero pieces and catalyze these for set pieces
tho I still dont understand what this one achievement is to unlock a special "effect" for your set? no idea what that is
gives like
yeah i will just run bountiful delves until i either get or can buy a hero shoulder to make into tier
smoke effect
Ill show you
your shoulders and helm get a bit more glowy

i gotta do myth chim again
blizzard I require you to give me myth gaze
just... gimme
buy a boost
idk how much they are for myth chim, but yea
or be in pug hell and pug it

I did pug it last week
little more glowy
just casual 5 hours idk wdym
and forgot to click the feet mb
I hate how lfr gotta be the best version
Whats the achievement called?
light of the party or something
?
ya
i mean i would've probably done it when i was 20 but now? No way
oh wait, they are character bound right? then it makes sense why I havent unlocked that yet as my rio on my pwarr is just 1.8k or something 
Don't have the patience for 5 hours of randoms
funny enough
thats just with me
apparently they were at it much longer
Is this Gloaming Sunmote then a one time use item or like a toy?
b4 I joined 
omg
one time
1 time use and I think it gives it for all classes
for 2500 rating apparently, I see
ah k
thats like all 10s or something
or 9s yea
which honestly this season is really easy
Is this 7 hours i'm looking at?
apparently lmao
Yeah i think i went in +10 skyreach first try
Where do you guys get routes from for higher keys like 15+?
Ones I ran until now are kind of not cutting it anymore
it was alright
Are col prot the play after 12.0.5?
Col and MT are both playable in 12.0.5
What does most damage and what is the easy one?
Nothing being 'meta'
I'd prolly youtube some bs like "+16 x dungeon pug"

Colossus will deal slightly more damage. MT will be easier.
Thanks, and for tankines?
Both are "tanky" enough.
Tyty
2/4
Do they? :o
it's more random
lol
like you're not fully commited to dropping the important dmg buff
but still far enough away from the dr
but tanks dont need to do damage they just need to live
If you kill the mobs faster, they wont kill you though 
the more rage you have the less dmg you take
why i thought we spammed ip?
yet I take a lot of dmg
like i charge and spam ip asap
arpg mindset, I love it 
a shaman told me that tanks should not do damage just live after a +10 because I did 10k more dps overall than him
wait whas wrong
But regarding whats most tanky it will still be MT thanks to the higher Rage regen, right?
oh wait 275
bro just wants his ass to get carried, like how insecure you gotta be to list a heroic dragons, and mention only 275+ ilvl lol
They probs around the same
More demo shouts and more sw does not matter?
he will only invite these players with said ilvl tho
Wish there was a breakdown on total rage and what has generated it. I want to see how useful Bloodsurge is
Well u run tls with colssus anyway
so it will be about the same, and technically the rage should be same ish it will be less as colossus for sure but that should effect things to much
Yeaa same for keys LMAO
or the dungeon one with "have 3k on main" like if ur the kind of person to care, u'd set up rio properly
I mean more demo shouts cuz of the cdr on TC
like no excuse
Roughly the same I would say. Col has bigger IPs + default +5% DR built into the hero tree.
Well the prio doesnt really change and as stuff doesnt reset the cd of tb, its pretty much the same
But MT has lightning effects 
U can glypth that to tc anyway
yknow what i miss
the old tc effect
it was poor quality sure but it had that oomph in it
that big ass wave
also I think it had a more thunderous sound effect
Agreed. We like mini-shamans.
Doesnt MT have a build in dr aswell after TC?
It has 2% and only TB affects more.
Oh I see
this needs the Sonne from Rammstein song in the background
or this russian emo trap mix
also already a thing

Cologne. The right name of that town
the cape is myth tracked, should I craft belt with arcanoweave? Does slot matter or is ilvl king in this case?
The tank balance currently in Mythic+ is so bad
Monk > Everything else? 
true, I played my warrior and its not s tier so I folded in my lfr run
you should craft some mf pants

yeah there's no shield big enough to cover those thick thighs

While some players enjoy World of Warcraft's competitive raiding scene, there are those who take it a little too far.
The raid leader completely crashes out on his team after missing ou...
bro no way classic players are like that bruh
i always knew they are "special" but holy 
This dude is like 38 years old and has 2 kids probably that’s the scary part
I honestly doubt he has kids
bro doesnt get p*ssy, theres no way on earth
You’d be surprised
You have to remember
Imagine the stupidest person you know
And then realize a significant amount of the population is even worse
no thank you i dont wanna imagine that
shame no captions
all I see from his crashout is an obese guy, with a neckbeard and glasses and unemployed.. oh wait the South Park guy
I silenced this channel once again 
thats how every mod looks like wether on Discord, Reddit, Twitch, or any other platform. Didnt you know?
except Jakey and Mwahi, they definetly look better (to not get banned here)

Nice save.
why the guys before 1st boss in seat hit harder than boss can barely pull more than 1 pack without bl
in +16
champions charging ya prolly
u mean subjucators chains or u getting charges
If you move more than 10 yards from them, they kill you
If you are not expecting the dmg and like you chain 2nd pull and 3rd and those champions are still alive, you charge 3rd pack-> they charge you -> you die
100% Tomrus is a beast irl
How does this talent work?
Do I just get more hp and when it runs out a second heal from IV?
If you fully use this one, it is better than the DR but it’s so small diff
yes its right after I pull more with guys at low hp that i get massive HP go down
On mdt right click on one of those and you will see the charge spell
I exclude the possibility of you are just charging the dude in the back of the pack, you play for too long pepega
trying to get the haste rating to switch talenst i just hit 1200
1188
It would have been a good mechanic if it targeted dps/healers so you would have to play between spread the chains and not getting too far
i thought he was having a stroke
With cons?
Hell no. That'd be cancer.
Im a dps, I like to be involved 🤷♂️
It’s better than kill tank bc he is pulling next pack
Anti-kite mechanics are good.
Like mobs that grab the tank if he goes to far? You like that ?
That’s an unusual take I’m kinda surprised
And… the charge being on dps/healer would be anti kite anyway
I don’t mind the charge preventing kiting, but I don’t think it should prevent ranged pulling
I’ve seen more tanks die bc pulling than bc kiting on those mobs
i swear this talent has such weird wording on it
So between Heart of Wind, Ancient Hunger and Plume what do I go with in m+?
could just be summed up to increase max hp by 10% then heal for how much overhealing impending victory did when the max hp expires
i would go plume and acient hunger myself
hm no heart of wind?
I was thinking the same, I am sitting on 1081 haste no buffa
i dont like that trinket personally i prefer my haste to be static as much as i can have it so i can be sure i am good for shiel block
that just me tho
honestly nowthat i have 1.2k haste unbuffed it feels quite nice to play itf, the gcd feels noticeably lower
With flask i go to 1200
btw how much prio is the Revenge! proc from 4set shield charge compared to ss and tblast? i assume lower then both
basically about the same as a regular revenge tbh
doesnt really get treated that much differently
Yeah, you press it only if ss and tc are on cd essentially
all it is is a free revenge that does like 15% more damage
The only real benefit of the free revenge is it lets you pump more rage into ignore pain
What u mean by ranged pulling? I heroic throw those 2x3packs to first pack and they dont charge
Seems like they charge only if you/someone else been in melee range or after stun, if u just taunt/ht them from 30yard, they just run to u
Typical death : they pull the second pack and then range pull the champions in outside circle left, and die
Yuh
heres the problem with that pull
this together is spell combo of doom for your team
mostly if you have, 3 warriors, and a paladin, and a rogue, and nobody has taken or knows what a ranged kick is
somebody moves 8 yards, they get charged, for that group i just made up in my mind, someones going to have to move to kick it
now at least 1 of the charge monsters comes in and does tons of dmg to the guy going for kick
now we miss the kicks
see the problem?
Morning fellow prots - quick question, as a newbie tank / player, is there a add-on that highlights the preferreed route to run in M+. Also, is there a way to macro shield slam and shield wall together? Was watching a Vlad video and he mentioned that and wasn't sure how to do it
What on earth
Stop watching whoever Vlad is.
That's some BS advise
He means shield block, not shield wall, and this came up yesterday as well
Not sure on the first, but yes you can macro them but its not necessarily advised due to wasting rage if at max uptime
Doesn't matter.
And as Mwahi said, it’s no good
Still crap advise.
Content creators and bad prot warrior advice, name a more iconic duo
Anyways nice to see you again mwahi. Hope you’re well
Tanking is a true test of your mental health ngl. This DK begged for big pulls, I told him in the first room would require some sort of Bloodlust so its much easier to pull the whole thing. We didnt have Bloodlust so I had to do 2 seperate pulls.
Some people also didnt quite understand how the Fatty and Witch fight works, so we wiped once. I only got killed once because you simply cant live when the Witch does her nukes. I also did more DPS than the DH and DK in a couple of pulls. This is just redicilous man 
Definitely not well. Reading so much crap in this channel that it's starting to feel like we're a meta tank.
i mean im not the best tank so I definetly dont have the right to say anything-
Just don’t invite udk
And if it isn’t your key and one joins just back out
They are all mongs.
i wasnt party leader
I didnt have a chance, Im a slave of the system
ur a tank
does the addon help with routes?
after I did this one +10 skyreach where nobody in the group didnt JUST not know any of the mechanics on anything, but even when they get hit by the damn glaive on 1st boss they just keep standing letting it hit em again, and repeat that for the rest of the fight
I realized maybe going back to 10's is not a good idea
A.) bring drums
B.) UDKs are windowlickers
based, true
i cant member last time i saw fdk
I already said no to the Arcane Mage, little did I know UDKs are the same kind of special people...
invite demo locks
shield wall is something you want to put it on CD often so it recharges, but you want to save it for when its really needed
stacks, start of pull, some BS mechanic you know you are about to fail
Yea I still dream about the Hotdog Retri ngl
bro was rocking on these Wieners
a true retri paladin
bro is good with sausages
again, he could have done that on any class
Are there any content creators you would recommend?
He had the OBA hidden
wats oba
one button assist
oh lol
Only for Pwarr or all tanks?
Pwar mostly
Topicx I can recommend
does daily POVs and guides as Pwarr
pushing the highest keys possible for him
Hey there, quick question regarding Seat's L'ura : according to the sheet, we can spell reflect the tank buster, but it seems to me I don't always press it at the right time. Does anyone have any advice as to when to press it ? Sorry if it's been asked, I did do a quick search and found nothing (reposting from Fury, did not intend to ask there !)
i disagree with the routes he uses a bit, but i like the methods he uses for fighting things
my routes are sometimes a total disaster too and we still timed it
he can explain things well
and then other youtubers are like hur dur its really easy
you got some caster boys here
and a melee bro and you pull it, and they do nothin and you just nuke em! ez!
@lusty grotto Idk if you´re sleeping but theres an important question to answer
Heh just saw this guy has a spell reflect video, probably answers my question as well 😄
oh true, I saw something too now that u mention it
i didnt watch it fully cuz it dont have CC (closed caption, not crowd control)
ever since i've been fairly young have liked to play games with cutscene voice text on the screen and CC for like movies and such
cuz then i can just read what they said instead of listen to it and pick u p totally different msg
I do the same thing
I always have subtitles on
To people who (almost) exclusively PuG mid/high keys…. How painful is it to get invited to groups this season? With the new announcement i wanna push 3400 so rerolling from non-meta DPS cause queues are a nightmare and thought about dusting off my warrior to push but worried its either go brew or go home in PuGs in 12-13+ like it is for meta dps
In those keys you should be fine
3400 will be alright to reach this season in pugs that's the equivalent to resilient 16's
the boss has a stacking buff, when it reaches 3 stacks it shoots a beam you can reflect, typically just before the beams start rotating
with keys going probably to 23-24 this season 16's will be pugable
now the top 1% one might be fore difficult
You will get invites as prot warrior
im getting more invites more consistently / faster than in TWW, esp at 12-13 you should be fine. prolly because there's a lot of bad brew meta chasers and people are a bit sus
I'm still mostly going with "this is jsut random personal experience" 😛
could be per region, per time of day, per ilvl.
fair point
but this also means: people need to try. even if it should work, you can't promise it will 🙁
honestly not trying to be antagonistic, but ask 5 people what a medium or a low key is and you will get 7 answers
(and so then they will claim "up to x is fine, and from y meta is helpful") 🤷♂️
yeah idk like the other guy said 3400 is gonna be easy to achieve this season if you put in a teeny amount if effort as anything.
Resilient keystones are goated.
Any tank will have an easier time than DPS too, imo.
3400 will be ~~easy ~~achievable
saying easy might be too suggestive since everything is relative
the 1% achievement might be a bit more
and I dont know if we can use last season as a example since there were no rewards and therefore people didnt push for it
but, for context, last season title was 3912, but 1% would have been 3515
its hard to tell where the 1% achieve will end up being
Oh there's a mount for 1% now?
theres a mount and a title
so its worthwhile to pursue
it may be heavily abused though
the key range for 1% might be something title level players can boost super easy
Sounds gross
eh, also means theres a lot of money to be made
and, I wont lie, I will probably end up using a friends resil to jump start my IO
like im not even 3k XD
I really don't like resil. :(
I got to like 3500~ or so last season pre turbo boost, but really didn't enjoy the meta of people progging resil priory 8hrs a day. Tough to keep up with like... work 😅
Kind of feel like it moved the needle of being able to play one key well to being able to one key a lot.
I feel you
same thing happened over here, but we were doing 20 Priory (which is a dumb key)... and it just became a "how the heck do we time this without resi?'
Does shieldblock duration stack?
like the optimal strat was for one guy on your team to get resil (prob from a guy who had resil) and then spread the wealth
yes
Yeah I guess I just need to find a group :o
my guild is mostly raidloggers unfortunately, and critcake
22 seconds
now, with HR you can keep it up for longer
but I will say I think Runescape came out with a new thing
so lots of people in my guild are playing that for the next week or so
so you could get i guess about another 5 or so seconds on it working with 15 ss cast per minute
so thats like, maybe 4 or 5 ss
between 4 and 7 is what i would assume in a 27 second time frame,
maybe more with 2 free SS proc thingy
my HP was jumping is that cuz of gear or lack of defensives?
alright
Got a question,Berserker shout is party based dispell or raid wide dispell fear?
raid I believe
It says group members,it’s kinda confusing.
no idea ive never used it
i think it woul say party
its prob only party tbh
i may be wrong, obviously anyone correct me if i am wrong
Ok thx
the tooltip says group
Ye,we are on myth chim
are you guys also at the point where immediatly after the first intermission... you just full send on boss and sac the first tank

yah def gotta sac the 2nd soak tank
after intermission
brez him if one still available
I think we can do it on the first soak now
it might be a little tight, but we got the boss down to less then 10%
before the consume
and I was like 'why did we even kill adds?'
That’s fast.
anyways, for Hawk here. If yall progging Chim
the number 1 priority is KICK THE ADD
Yep
Just we have 3 wars,I want to put them in different groups to save the raid in case someone missed a interrupt
We are struggling at the flight phase currently.
Yeah put one in each group, might save one fear cast going off
Just hit SR as soon as Lance hits 3 stacks and you'll always hit it.... only word spot is right into the dmg amp phase sometimes it can insta shoot at 3 bc there are no mechanics overlaps that make it wait. But that's just something you'll see as you do it now knowing when that timing is
Egg and bacon in a sandwich
This is de wae
smart; shaman can aslo fear totem
remember to not waste interrupts on the bolts
just interrupt fear
bacon, egg, and cheese on a bagel
And assign rdps to left/right or close/far adds
salt and pepper
Good morning little chuddies
Good morning pash
or hot sauce
I was at my parents house because there was an emergency and I had to dogsit so, it worked out but not because of Verizon
morning
anyone of u know a good addon to show Friendlys Offense and Defensice CD? I tried MiniCC and what i dont like is that there are so many Major DMG CD missing. Any alternatives?
Cant do that anymore
The problems with minicc are what u get if you try
Im thinking of doing some PC upgrades; yall think I can pair a 3060TI with this
Microcenter has a sale

Microcenter my beloved
fake ai ram
Slop ram

you are fake ram haver, i am real ram haver
Right next to a great ramen place too
Huh
No I live in Northern VA
so is there any alternativvce for MiniCC?
I think this is the farthest south microcenter left, but i may be wrong
I think kira or yoda are using smth called PetesDefensiveHistory
fuck you buddy lol
i heared about it.
Closest Microcenter is 70 mins from me
arent they bricking those addons come Tuesday?
Not really, group CD trackers are something they wanted to remove, especially for tracking damage CDs. Anything that exists is super jank and basically just guessing what people have
Is Cthulhu the supreme egg hot sauce? (Cholula)
But that's better than when I lived in Wisconsin at least
And is also likely to be shot by blizzard as they keep changing addon parameters
Idk, those addons are jank and inconsistent
yea, I try to use as few add ons as possible now
I deleted my whole ui suite last night
game also runs much faster with less add ons
Is there any place I can see route for high keys (18+)?
chipotle tabasco goated
Is it Smokey
Honestly, having less addons and using the blizz UI stuff was great for a situation last night. Even on my mother's computer I still had most of my UI, was just missing shit like actionbarsenhanced which, really is extraneous
I did have to panic install rclootcouncil
Right now I’m using blizzard for party and raid frames
But most of the UI was intact between computers
the major addons I use now are Better CDM, CDM centered, baganator, and plater
still havnt been able to get used to any other nameplates but plater.... so it stays for now
I use better cdm but tbh I have no fucking clue why
I use it for the bars
they give a good rage bar
i really do have ram lol
and, for DK, rage and rune bar
these RAM must be fake
I don’t need a rage bar. I’m just always the most pissed
centered I obviously use to center it and make it look nice
I use rclootcouncil, chattynator, platynator, and sensei's resource bar (for survival mostly)
96gb ddr5, 16 gb ddr5, 8gb ddr4 and some shit tier ddr3 ram but a 4 pack
I got this addon that changes the color of people on my friends list
PetesDefensiveHistory works by looking what buffs your group has, the only real problem is when ppl dont have LibSpec (?)
Based on what class they’re playing
That way I can see someone is playing DK and not invite their asses
and then take into consideration, thats whats NOT inside my computer
Sell them, big profit
Oh nvm
Yogi opening up his own AI datacenter
but yeh, i got too much ram i think probably
real reason is want to make 3 or 4 pcs
Chattynator, baganator, bartender, better cdm
gaming pc, work pc (new), server pc, "retro gaming pc" with ddr3
I might try cdm centered
ive been debating just doing a fresh new build and spending like $2k+ on parts
Moving the cdm was pissing me off
i need 1 or 2 more good gpu
then some hard drives, maytbe a couple external capture cards
and i would never ever for trillion years need more pc after that
ssd and ram market still upside down in canada
its like with that i have never gotten 3k before right
or 2500 for thta matter
8gb vram is boring in 2026 🙁
it really is
and sort of, so is 10/11/12 gb vram cards too
they cant REALLY do rtx
The sound alerts are kinda nice
i was hoping we would see the 5090 come with 32gb vram or like 48 or 64, or that can be 60 / 70 series for nvidia
Like a little cash register sound when sudden death procs
Bam suddenly I’m executing someone
Cha Ching get got idiot
I believe it
Sometimes my headset picks it up
And before I did the cash register I did text to speech
And my friend was exasperated that the game was “telling you your rotation???”
“I would be good if I could cheat like that too”

Thats what I call an Prot Warrior 
Am I missing smth or why is the top rated prot warrior running ITF with 800 haste?
Yeah you are missing something
There’s literally zero reason to snoop on what that person is doing
Alleria P2 : does she and the simulacrum share HP ?
The silver arrow, does it always shoot from Alleria or also from the simulacrum ?
this is wat a peak prot warr in their prime looks like in 2026
armor pango prot warr giga alpha
Wdym?
Whatever the top prot warrior is doing is irrelevant
They aren’t a guide, and we have no idea why they choose to do what they do
You’d have to ask them
Just like why Kira or Yoda or whoever is doing whatever they might be doing
Yeah thats what im asking, if anybody know why he is doing that
I dont expect an awnser but asking doesnt hurt
Okay and I will ignore your advice and will keep looking
Because high key players make mistakes too.
They probably figured out that they are able to keep block up with the amount of haste they have, and if you’re seeing 800 on the website odds are they are running haste flask but that’s just a guess
I’m really struggling with the first pull of nexus any tips? I’m 272 ilvl and die a lot on 13s but only this dungeon. I keep getting a heal absorb that’s 5-10x my health
Same reason some of them play 1/4 phalanx (though that was also inflated by raider.io being fucky with talent display)
That does make sense
Also, rhino is correct telling you not to blindly copy what the top rated io player is doing
He didnt tell me to not blindly copy smth the top player does, he just told me to stop looking what he does
I never stated I will copy him
And they are better players* so they will manage more efficiently so they can start at lower haste
You do not have the same comp, communication, route, gear, skill, etc etc
The min amount can vary per dungeon etc
What’s recommended on iceyveins is what will bring success to the majority of players
It’s just wasted energy
Its my energy im wasting, why would you care
No harm in asking why someone is doing something though
People are just jaded here because a lot of people like to argue about it Seep, thats all
Its kind of you to try and look out for me
I don’t. You asked a question in a public forum and I gave an opinion. Why are you so pressed by my answer
Yes… you are talking here
Guys come on, it's not serious. And this isn't constructive.
I think they way u said it is rly disrespectfull
Rhino are you good brother, this is unusually aggro for you
Guil can we form an off meta push team to beat up the mostly meta push team thats formed in my guild
Pwarr, spreist, ret, and some other nerds
Anything we say for why those folks do what they do is speculation. But really, they make mistakes like anyone else, whether it's talent choices or even gameplay. When you're surrounded by good players, you can get away with a lot.
We've seen people playing pwar in the highest keys who actually suck ass at the spec
I'd say rhino on devo but thats too close to meta 
Gotta get that surv hunter up and break the meta
The best thing was he was ilvl246 in a +10 Windrunners lol, he knew what he was doing, so its most likely an alt or something
I’d play surv but I don’t wanna take your sparkle
Nah the more people that play surv the better
We need more shotguns
That sounds fun
Get @lusty grotto or @toxic pewter to tank and we'll dumpster those nerds
A cranker rogue for big shroud skips
Is ret not meta
Is outlaw cranking
Outlaw owns
I like outlaw
It feels like ret is meta
Phew
Meta rn is Brew/Rdruid/Aug + UDK/Devo/Demolock
I thought you were going to say boomie for a second
Ret is pretty strong, whether or not it can compete or be sidegrade to meta is questionable
LOL
Oh are we restricting meta to a specific five spec comp
