Wym the 2 lightforged dudes and the two packs either side

#

Whole first area.

#

If you were to lust left side it'd be two seers

coarse bay
#

into left side?

harsh trellis
brisk juniper
harsh trellis
#

hes talkin about that standard

tribal wharf
coarse bay
#

u can still lust that

#

later in dungeon

tribal wharf
#

this is what i do for the dungeon more or less

coarse bay
#

or not lust it

#

it isnt crazy

harsh trellis
#

BTW dont share a threechest link

tribal wharf
#

the final 1 guy pull was just if we missed a % somehow

harsh trellis
#

people will mess it up

#

I didnt know you could edit someones pull and mess it up

daring marlin
#

lusting any pack in that dungeon would be higher value than the damage amp boss

coarse bay
#

ya no matter what u lust first

harsh trellis
#

Yeah I agree

#

Im gonna try that next run

brisk juniper
#

The only way I could see lusting left side be viable is doing something insane like this

#

And lusting pull 9

toxic pewter
#

omg

#

2 seers

brisk juniper
#

Pop all raid defensives and hunker the fuck down

toxic pewter
#

that looks awful

#

lol

#

even with lust

#

i dont want 2 seer in 1 pull imo

brisk juniper
#

What else are you lusting left side if not 2 seers

daring marlin
#

How is pulling all of 8 and lusting not more value than the damage amp boss? The damage amp is only 18s anyway

coarse bay
#

these cooks should stay in the kitchen

daring marlin
#

You'll have more lust time anyway

brisk juniper
#

You're limited by seers there.

daring marlin
#

this is goofy

brisk juniper
#

The rest is kicks and stuns

brisk juniper
#

You aren't pulling anything extra into the pulls on the left side with lust

daring marlin
#

you can't read

brisk juniper
#

It's just a time save

daring marlin
#

It's not skipping phases by lusting a damage amp phase

#

You're more than likely getting two anyway and the boss dies

#

but keep yappin dawg

which addon are people using to track party CDs (specifically defensives)? i heard one of the addons not tracking things accurately but not sure which addon is good.

I think everyone that works gets killed right

They will always try to hit those addons

#

it was a very specific thing they said they didnt want

drowsy comet
#

u have more control on who kicks when tbh if u can track it

coarse bay
#

u dont have any control

#

if youre in a team that can control it, then you can comm

drowsy comet
#

u do, you can manage on who kicks first, next etc. So kicks dont overlap

coarse bay
#

that doesnt need a tracking addon

It def seems like the best way to handle that situation is group with cam and listen to what cam says

Magister's Terrace : the big void elementals that do AoE shadow damage and heal themselves, is it worth trying to play them near a corner to LOS the spell ?

thats the whole run I did last night on a 15

(need a lock for that route though)

My question is « do you bother finding a corner to LOS their cast, or cba ? »

The AoE hits hard at those levels

i find nexus point rly hard to tank. any tips?

#

yo, on HC voidspire at crown p2, i saw on logs of a friend that their tank kept alleria inside the entire time without taunt swapping the bosses once, why and how could they do that?

autumn topaz
toxic pewter
#

yeah the defenders on the left side.. you have to be careful regarding them they put stacking heal absorb, that also lowers armor, and also does magic damage per hit

#

so have to be judicious with how you pull the left hallway

charred ivy
#

how many can i go? cause it wipes me hard

toxic pewter
#

also want to pull like max 2 seers for the entire run, 1 at a time of course

#

yeah honestly for me personally i just pull like max 3-4

charred ivy
#

any other 14 feels like take no dmg this dungeon is crazy

toxic pewter
#

like pulling 2 defenders is also OK

#

like taking a little longer

#

and not dying is OK

#

like the group will be blah blah or whatever but just assuring the stacks dont pile up on u is better than bricking the key

#

the healer also can remove stacks by healing through the absorb so they should be aware and on top of pumping heals into u especiallyt if u got 4 on u

#

but the stacks can grow quickly and no shame in kiting too

#

literally leaping away to drop the stacks

At least hang out till one of the dps wife has an affair with one of the officers for some major drama

Issue im having is we have killed impertor 3 times now raiding 6 hours a week but we still havent gotten another one

coarse bay
severe star
#

which believe it or not, not a tanking issue

harsh trellis
#

That boss was also easy

coarse bay
#

It doesnt sound like they arent trying

#

If you guys want to actually get further into mythic and youre still clearing heroic, you should suggest dropping heroic clears

#

I cant imagine you still get any value from it at this point

harsh trellis
#

Or at least use the skip

#

If you're farming necks

drowsy comet

#

we dont run hero we just say get it yourself whenever you can if you need it

Wait so the 6 hours are on vorasius?

@umbral aurora

Why split when you havent killed either

harsh trellis
drowsy comet

That's the issue

You guys should hard focus vorasis and kill that

#

Then go to chimeras

severe star
#

We usually do 3 hours 1 day vora 3 hours next day on chim and its been like that for 3 weeks

coarse bay
#

It sounds like youre in an aotc guild trying to take a whack at mythic. If you feel like you want to progress further and faster then let the officers know and put your feelers out for a new guild

harsh trellis

Because saladbar is worse than both of those

oh I wish I was in my guild runs im just in a mythic community

I love pugs trying to coordinate some random bullshit funnel in POS involving a ret pally and the undead pull before the first boss. Wasting more time explaining it rather than just blasting it.

charred ivy
#

actually went a 14 with other healer and didnt feel as ridiculously hard.

harsh trellis
#

That's the guild community I was telling you about

#

They are the sister guild of death jesters

#

Same community

#

Death jesters is the guild that towliee and Spencer from the starting zone are in. Sparty runs both and he's super nice.

I just heroic leap each one

can you also drac thyr jump?

or is it too far

idk we are warriors so dracthyr is not that big diff

I would still leap> dracthyr jump

Give warriors a lust shout

we could have a spec similar to augmentation, kinda inspired by gladiator stance, but buffs the team with shouts

That’s a big beautiful vault

#

No. The other adds hurt more. It's a big lust pull with a seer at the end when it patrols around. Saves heaps more time then lusting the adds in the middle.

#

I'll link my MDT

vapid anvil
#

I have a dumb question as a non-warrior player interested in learning the spec. I see that its listed as the highest APM spec in the game. Is that accurate, or is it just because Ignore Pain and Shield block are off gcd? I had chronic wrist pain when I was playing guardian in the thorns era

harsh trellis
#

Do you play with a 12 button mouse?

vapid anvil
#

i do not. just a 5 button. i use the side buttons for modifiers though so I dont have to use shift/control. that helped my wrist pain considerably

harsh trellis
#

ok so here you go

#

check that out

vapid anvil
#

appreciate it. Thanks

lusty grotto
#

its still high apm

#

if played correctly

#

but if its up to your health, you can opt to have some compromise, it won't really make much of a difference in vault keys, heroic raids, or lower difficulty content

lusty grotto
#

health (and comfort related to it) is far more important

harsh trellis
#

I can only use the razer naga , the corsair 12 button cramps my hand

I use the tartarus and Naga and its avery comfortable setup

Do you guys use route in Maisara to clear the whole Rokh'zal and get the buff npc summoned 🤔

sharp narwhal
lusty grotto
#

sure, the same way any tank taunts

#

just have the tank taunt immediately after sotr/fv goes off

#

they do not melee while casting

#

and they cast back to back

mystic cave
#

Ive got a holy paladin buddy who is my backup taunt because my cotank brew cant live more than 2 tank mechanics

#

Bubble taunts on a dime if I call for it, saved multiple pulls

sharp narwhal
#

So you taunt during judge or the other spell?

mystic cave
#

during judge

sharp narwhal
#

As the warr

#

Kk

lusty grotto
#

im

#

um

#

are you the dps warrior?

#

we taunt as soon as the judgment cast starts

#

not late taunt

sharp narwhal
#

The person who I’m asking for is

lusty grotto
#

early taunt

#

couldn't they have asked your tanks?

sharp narwhal
#

He doesn’t even know it’s a thing you can do yet, we’re a pretty casual guild but as the RL I just like knowing what options we have available

lusty grotto
#

if its a casual guild i wouldn't risk SR parse cheesing on a dps warrior

#

he can do Senn reflects instead

tribal wharf
#

if there is some dumb ass tank trinket in vault

i think im gunna go for that

Why are you struggling

Because I said the left side is the only hard part of the dungeon? Are you deficient? @trim bay

lusty grotto

what are we talking about

#

oh NPX

coarse bay
#

Ya somebody was saying the damage amp on the boss was the biggest value lust

lusty grotto
#

i mean sure

#

thats why you go left first

#

but you lust first pull regardless

daring marlin
#

Don't care for it cuz 9/10 don't get a third lust

lusty grotto
#

it can be the middle area or the left side standard

#

well

#

its possible to just do left side lust and run back

#

and then you can optimize lusts

coarse bay

Ya

lusty grotto

the more defenders and shit you kill, the better

honestly i dont even get going 1/4 lol

like the damage from just the little phalanx shockwave isnt even that good

might as well go 0/4

how hard is it supposed to be to run +12 keys as 250 ilvl prot warrior

i feel like wet concrete

lusty grotto

i did them at 230

just gearing to 250ish

yes, just be careful to play properly at low ilvl

put your self at alot of risk low ilvl with poor play

toxic pewter

Is the first pull in AA doable as prot warrior? I feel like pulling everything hurts alot

toxic pewter
#

most definitely doable

umbral aurora
toxic pewter
#

but there is no shame in pulling 2 groups and then chaining the third

umbral aurora
#

If I'm not mistaken

toxic pewter
#

I know some people even in here would even say not to do thatbut you dont lose that much time and its safer

balmy narwhal
#

and do you pull one group of bugs?

#

if you split

toxic pewter
#

can even pull 2 groups of bugs tbh

#

with the first pull

#

its just that 3rd lasher pack that adds a whol new level of damage

#

but if you are intent on learning to do the big pull all in 1

#

gotta plan your defensive cd's

#

and kite

#

and pray

#

lmao

#

if u r a dwarf it helps a lot too

pastel geyser
#

Dwarf + evoker makes it pretty easy

#

But the biggest thing that makes it easy is having rly good dps

The longer it goes the higher chance you just die

Once we hit the haste threshold to swap over to Into The Fray do we still use haste flasks and the haste buff in Algethar?

you dont stop going for haste

not for gearing nor for AA buff

just equip anything with haste

Im 25% crit / 27% haste / 20% mastery / 3%vers idk if i need more % on any of those

#

What you guys think is best plan to use bonus rolls and vault situation

#

Like apparently can get a third nebulous core item from vault or something

mystic cave
#

Keys feel like the infinitely better choice to me, twice the rolls to guarantee pieces. 2 charges for one raid item seems such bad value

mystic cave
lusty grotto
#

im personally going for a 2h

#

so dropping on keys

toxic pewter
mystic cave
#

thats my understanding of it at least

#

me personally, im hunting for the MT shield

toxic pewter
#

Keys cost three raid cost two

mystic cave
#

keys cost one

#

raid costs two

toxic pewter
#

Hmm

undone beacon
#

That is correct

#

One token to roll from M+

#

Two for a raid boss

toxic pewter
#

Wow thought it was three for some reason

mystic cave
#

so unless you are specifically hunting a umbral plume/gaze and need nothing from m+

#

raid seems like a giga waste to me

undone beacon
#

You get two cores a week, and can get a bonus third from vault tokens instead of a socket

toxic pewter
#

So may be worth it to take one roll for m+ from vault and use two on mythic chim is that an appropriate way to go about this

undone beacon
#

If you have nothing else in the vault you need

#

It would be silly to give up a vault item for a single M+ reroll

toxic pewter
#

Yah

#

If vault bad then what I said seems ok right

undone beacon
#

Potentially yeah

#

It’s gonna depend a ton on what you have and need

toxic pewter
#

Yes

undone beacon
#

A socket is still a socket which is a guaranteed upgrade

#

But if you are targeting something from M+, or don’t need a socket, the roll is a good pick

toxic pewter
#

Yeah damn rolling randomly in an m+ is decent size loot table

undone beacon
#

I’m sure a lot of people will throw tokens at Xenas for the rings

#

Mmhm, that’s why it’s cheaper

mystic cave
#

twice the loot (ish) in m+ total

#

for half the cost seems fair to me

toxic pewter
#

Hmmm interesting choices ahead that’s for sure

#

Yeah seems interesting could get three myth items from m+

undone beacon
#

Essentially will come down to figuring out what bosses have chase pieces you still need, and what dungeons have the highest ratios of hits to misses on upgrades

lusty grotto
#

its two

undone beacon
#

You could get three

#

If you take the vault token

mystic cave
#

only three with vault ya

lusty grotto
#

you get three by dismissing the vault

undone beacon
#

Is what he’s saying

lusty grotto
#

i know what hes saying but he keeps repeating it

#

nobody in their right mind will dismiss a vault

toxic pewter
#

lol

#

It’s possible

undone beacon
#

I mean we’re getting to a point where you totally could

toxic pewter
#

Cloaks and garbage shit

undone beacon
#

I have myth/crafted in half my slots now

lusty grotto

if you dont

#

i have 2 myth slots

toxic pewter
#

I mean it’s possible vault filled with cloaks I’ve literally seen it

lusty grotto
#

out of all my gear

undone beacon
#

Yeah but we’re talking specifically about APB rn, he could get three myth items from M+ with the system if he takes tokens from vault

#

idk weird thing to jump on lol

mystic cave
#

until you are full min/maxed outside of mythic trinkets, m+ seems like WAY more value, even at 2 charges a week

toxic pewter
#

I don’t want to not take something from the vault to be fair

undone beacon
#

If there’s an upgrade in vault ofc you’re going to take that

lusty grotto
#

we got enough critters here that are insta going for the token

#

you know who im talking about

toxic pewter
#

lol I’m just happy to learn it’s just one core in m+ literally thought it was three for some reason

undone beacon
#

To be fair those people don’t listen to anything we have to say anyways

#

Wonder if the big P ever took that solar core igniter

lusty grotto
#

yes but the problem is if they keep repeating it, lurkers might get the wrong idea

undone beacon
#

Sure, but apb was asking a genuine question because he didn’t understand the system

toxic pewter
#

That’s fair I don’t condone taking that third core for no reason for the record

undone beacon
#

That’s all

lusty grotto
#

youre good apb, dw

#

My plan on warr is to just throw them at nexus for the rings since I don’t raid regardless

Priest will be Chim til I have gaze, then nexus as well

toxic pewter
#

Yah rings seem like good pickups

lusty grotto
#

kinda wish fury still got 1h

but it is what it is

mystic cave
#

the shield in MT is worth it i think too no?

lusty grotto
#

why MT

#

NPX shield is better

#

crit vers

mystic cave
#

oh maybe i have the wrong shield in my memory bank

#

then NPX is giga bis always

lusty grotto
#

ye

#

but i got that last vault

#

probably the only good vault im getting the entire season lmao

mystic cave
#

my last vault was 6/8 trinkets

#

🙂

toxic pewter
#

Yeah nexus seeming like a sweet dungeon to perhaps target

undone beacon
#

Smaller loot pool cuz only three bosses, good pieces, yeah

#

Skyreach is another good one as there’s a shield, weapon, and two strong trinkets

#

As well as tier slots

toxic pewter
#

Yeah dang skyreach true

lusty grotto
#

seat, NPX, skyreach are probably the best bonus roll options tbh

#

gloves, trinkets, ring combo, shield

undone beacon
#

Seat just has such a large item pool I swear

lusty grotto
#

WS is good too if you wanna fish for a myth heart

toxic pewter
#

I do need a trinket bad I guess I’m putting my hopes in chimaerus

mystic cave
#

man i still dont have the gloves from seat, im tempted to send them there

undone beacon
#

I took myth prism over myth heart this week

lusty grotto

for arms, pit is probably the best for 2h

surely i get a mythic weapon offerd for the first time all tier this week in vault

so i can move my embelishment

ill probably only send it in pit

since arms is just ahead

#

I got a myth bis staff on my priest this vault and was hype
Took that over tier hands because big Final Grade

#

Though with this new system, I could’ve gambled on tokens in NPX for that staff which is the same but, that’s gambling vs a guaranteed big upgrade asap

#

Like I get the argument that Petri had because it’s gonna feel bad to eventually roll a weapon with the weekly limited currency but at the same time, I think people are gonna gimp themselves getting caught up on the gambling

lusty grotto
#

its gambler's fallacy

#

That it is

basically the whole umbrella of it

Semi related but I was gonna farm the NPX ring I’m missing in 10s until I ran some sims and it’s a downgrade to wear the set unless I get myth ring keks

What do the two nexus rings do anyway

#

They give more dam?

lusty grotto

just a lil bit

but not enough to hard focus them asap

toxic pewter

I see

winged zenith
#

We all go colossus now?

lament zealot
#

Thane still better

undone beacon
#

In terms of damage and survivability, they’re basically on even keel. iirc Col is better ST and Thane is better AoE, but they are neck and neck. Thane is also just going to be easier for most people

#

would a ring craft be a bad craft? i crafted weapon/shield with sigil:hunt and arcanoweave lining

#

trying to see what to craft for 3rd

#

lowest ilvl is ring right now

winged zenith
#

Ring craft is good free upgrade in worst case

coarse bay
#

Honestly with how many high haste rings are available i would put it low prio

winged zenith
#

You wont be getting 2 myth rings this early

coarse bay
#

I’d just do bracer/cloak so that you can transition your embellishments there once you get a wep/shield personally

winged zenith
#

Cloak craft is bad

#

Need catalyst that one

stray sonnet
winged zenith
#

Same for wrist

coarse bay
#

Why is cloak and wrist bad?

winged zenith
#

You want catalyst that one

coarse bay
#

Says who

winged zenith
#

Early myth boss drops them

coarse bay
winged zenith
#

Bis stats from catalyst

#

You wont be lucky with ring

coarse bay
#

Those are lowest budget slots, we use them for embellishments

winged zenith
#

He said 2 embeloshment on weapon and shiels

coarse bay
#

Yes, which the goal will be to replace them with myth

#

Starting next week that will be more achievable as well

#

Bracer and cloak are not bad crafts

#

Just because of “bis stats”

winged zenith
#

Not true this early

coarse bay
#

What do you mean

#

What isnt true

severe star
#

Isnt crafted cloak one of the best crafts we have

lusty grotto
#

the best craft you have is what the sims tell you

severe star
#

fair enough

lusty grotto
#

the slots that are in the guides and recommendations assume that you have myth everything

#

which is nobody

#

i crafted belt last reset simply because my belt was champ

#

whereas my cloak and wrists are hero track, so thats one example

coarse bay
#

Ya only things id fully avoid is tier slots until you have 4 myth ones PERSONALLY

#

Calling wrist and cloak bad because of cata is just wrong though

simple moat
#

is mastery needed for higher keys?

ionic fern
#

No - but it's not a bad stat.

proud dock
#

got a dumb question (debate i was having with another player): if you had to pick only 1, would you prio gear enchants or using combat pots? in the case of trying to "save" gold. this person was saying chest enchants was not worth it.

wooden lily
ionic fern
#

Enchant is static...pots you need to keep on buying.

#

I'd also go enchants.

Hello fellow Warrior tanks, could you advise me on a defensively‑oriented build? Most builds seem focused on damage, but this one is mainly intended for Mythic Raiding.

pallid quiver
# vale vapor Hello fellow Warrior tanks, could you advise me on a defensively‑oriented build?...

Especially for raiding, the main reason for this is that damage on tanks is pretty much always telegraphed and at specific timings. This is especially so in raid. Basically, the defensive things that are useful are your major defensive CDs (which you'd have to work really hard to not grab) and encounter specific utilities (think things like negating a mechanic with divine shield on a Paladin, spell reflecting roots on Ansurek last expac, or grabbing extra interrupts/CC for adds like in Raz two expacs ago). There's sometimes bosses that have their main notable gimmick being that the tanks get hurt a little hard, but there's not much for it than making sure you keep playing well and to rotate defensives smart. There's not many swaps you can make that would make a notable difference due to the nature of things. BSV might help if you're not picking it, but it might even help if there's underlying issues

oak ivy
#

bsv is a good "oops fuck missed paladin taunt" safety net 👍

dusty orchid
#

^

oak ivy
#

hello friend :D

dusty orchid
#

fancy seeing you here

fringe mural
#

Bsv will help you not die if you made a mistake, which is a good thing for the group but a bad thing for your own progress

#

Unless you will actively use it on purpose to circumvent a certain mechanic or help your healer/s focus on the group in a moment

#

or you will suddenly drop after it wears off because the healer thought you're fine with the pull when you actually aren't fine

jagged pier
elfin elk
#

What's the play for paladins then, do you taunt off the other boss and then eat every combo yourself?

jagged pier
#

i think u can only eat teh combo of one and u swap on the other

#

which makes missing a taunt very silly cause u track 1 boss

elfin elk
#

I need to have a closer look at that boss we're heading there next week

#

Guess it means we can just have Bellamy sit on us the entire fight then

jagged pier
#

i mean im not raiding this tier but thats what i would expect that tactic to be when u can negate the tank mechanic

#

just taunt swap 1 boss, dont miss SR on the other

oak ivy
#

(i have a tendency to panic challenge shout if i lose track of things)

oak ivy
jagged pier
#

dont u just SW that one tho

#

from what ive seen ppl saying

oak ivy
#

i dont think you live even with wall/demo on myth

#

i wanna say its like 4m magic damage premit

#

and there's the thing where if you ever press SR like a global too early, senn can exorcism into it and leave you unprotected from sotr

jagged pier
#

so the other tank keeps aggro of senn

#

so that doesnt happen

oak ivy
#

other tank is brewmaster running auras out

#

only time he has aggro is during swaps and when someone's about to consecrate

jagged pier
#

but u have leap

oak ivy
#

but he has speed taunt

jagged pier
#

why does speed taunt matter

#

im literally looking at a log of a warrior doing it no problem

#

and thers also no cross over of sotr

#

no tank takes damage from it

#

so theres isnt an over lap

oak ivy
#

pls dont make me get out of bed for this

#

like 3min into the fight they taunt swap, then again like 10sec later

#

it could very well be done with me leap out and do it that way, im not saying it couldnt

jagged pier
oak ivy
#

that is how we opted to do it to save some dps uptime as the boss doesnt have to leave as soon thanks to speed taunt

#

ok

jagged pier
#

it lasts 6 seconds

#

do able

#

thats SR casts

#

covers it

#

presume u need this for it

#

easy enough to get as u dont need stops etc for the fight

oak ivy
#

monkahmm valid

#

I would like to try this but we live in a world (guild) where I'd fuck it up once and insta get banned from attempting

jagged pier
#

i mean it seems pretty simple happens at the same time u just press it 5-6 seconds before the first 1 and then again on the second

#

but u need to be conc tank to properly do it tho i suppose so Exorcism doesnt eat it

#

but still that even that swap should make prog easier

oak ivy
#

so uh im gonna be 100% with you jakey

oak ivy
#

she's not casting it during that time in the fight

#

senn is fucked off doing holy paladin things

jagged pier
#

well then it should be doable i suppose, but up to you if u do it or not shruge, i wouldnt change now your progging but if u were about to or like just started i would have recommended the change

naive ravine
#

I mean its just a change between tanks so its not that much reorganizing

oak ivy
#

i mentioned the sotr reflect, we did a singular "can he dk it?" pull and i did not know i had to send it early at 2:30, died, raid leader upsetti and vetoed the idea

#

will try my luck again next week

jagged pier
naive ravine
#

If it wasnt a tank only change sure, but "everyone" would not apply in this case

oak ivy
#

i have profound brain damage and will likely find a way to cause a wipe to this

pastel geyser
#

do u even need to tank swap on holy council in voidspire if u have 2 warrior tanks, i know one buster is reflectable and the other is a deflect

jagged pier
#

Nope

pastel geyser
#

i love spell reflect

drowsy comet
#

u only tank swap if nessecary, on dragons

#

the rest should be normal

pastel geyser
#

well i wasnt talking about dragons

#

was curious about council if on mythic you'd need to swap

#

cuz warrior just ignores buster :D

drowsy comet
#

i heard tank swap and immidiately think of dragons, every single time with pugs O.o

bleak breach
#

Hi guys,

On mythic Vaelgor and Ezzrak the taunt swap is after Gloom yeah?

drowsy comet
#

why did I even join this stupid key with THIS guy..mage said "we gonna carry him hihi", fuck all jfc

#

fucking hell

sharp gale

I didn’t answer you

drowsy comet

#

You can hit either dragon at every time

bleak breach
#

That’s a really polite way to speak to someone

sharp gale
#

I would need to check logs to know when they swap, but on gloom seems good

drowsy comet
#

valid crashout?

sharp gale
#

No + I would have reported that war

naive ravine
#

Dont leave the group and get a penalty

sharp gale
drowsy comet
#

we abandoned

naive ravine
#

And it depends on the other factors, if the druid was like bottom dps not using kick etc

drowsy comet
#

nobody kicked shit in seat, no CCs, no kicks, nothing

naive ravine
#

It would be a valid crashout

drowsy comet
#

and yes i was the warrior im pissed

vital stirrup
bleak breach
#

What level key?

sharp gale

Thanks to the new sytsem you can basically force abandon as tank

I always think if I were the one that gets a boost I would be happy to get a tank that accepts the boost

Have fun reporting them, you wont get your key back so w/e

drowsy comet

"Shut the fuck up" making you someone report them is crazy

sharp gale
#

More like the racism

naive ravine
#

Yeah man rly racist to say russian to the guy that seems to be speaking russian

drowsy comet
#

its just fucking hard to do the first 2-3 packs, pull them together, get your IP / Shieldblock up etc, and nobody kicking or uses CCs. Ofc we wipe, literally 20 deaths in the first room bruh

naive ravine
#

There is a clear diffrence between "shut up CUZ u are russian" and "shut up russian guy"

sharp gale
naive ravine
#

Lol nice try im german

#

Loser

sharp gale
#

Yes I tried to explain how it is rude

winged zenith
#

Wait what spell reflect works on judgemet cast on council????

naive ravine
sharp gale
#

???

drowsy comet
#

whats the racism? He calles me tard, which literally means hmhm tard, what do you expect me to do? Acting like im the problem and its obviously my fault for THEM not kicking?´???

winged zenith
#

Hello, judgement is reflectable?

sharp gale
#

No it’s the tankbuster after judgement

#

From senn if I remember

winged zenith
#

Never felt that buster

#

Maybe because defensive running on jusgemet

vital stirrup
#

Both can be reflected but only one of them will deal damage back iirc

drowsy comet
sharp gale
#

Damn so that gives you 1 coupon to insult him

#

no it doesn’t

sharp gale
# winged zenith Never felt that buster

It’s a two step tankbuster, one of them cast their judgement and then do the tankbuster specific to them, it’s the specific you can reflect from 2 of the 3

winged zenith
#

So judgement isnt tank buster main damage come from 2nd cast?

sharp gale
#

Both are, it’s the swap, judgement increase dmg taken by the followed up tankbuster

winged zenith
#

For example commander cast judgement and he does 2nd cast after? Same for general

sharp gale
#

All 3 does it

vital stirrup
#

The 3rd just spams exorcism iirc

sharp gale
#

yeah mb senn just spam cast

bleak breach
#

Those are the reflectable abilities

winged zenith
#

So we never need to swap judgement if 2 wars

#

Just spell reflect after jusgemet cast

jagged pier
#

no u just press SR

#

during judgement before judgement

#

its not reflectable so it dont matter

winged zenith
#

Not after but before judgement?

vital stirrup
#

Could you get an unlucky exorcism mid buster or will she not cast during it?

jagged pier
#

from what the guy said earlier she doesnt

#

so it shouldnt matter

#

as long as SR is cast within 6 seconds before the mechanic hits u, its fine

bleak breach
#

Interesting

fringe mural
#

It's funny how the people that know paladins from back then have no issue figuring out how that encounter works

#

that's how judgement always worked

#

You cast it, and then you cast another thing that deals increased dmg given the judgement is active

#

pala style

winged zenith
#

Final verdict is insta cast right after judgement finish?

#

So that is why we need activate SR during judhement cast?

drowsy comet
#

i really got a report and a message in the main menu, wow man

fringe mural
#

but he might also be a mad polish guy or ukranian dude

drowsy comet
#

"oh no why is there a tank shortage.."

fringe mural
#

I had a dude asking in /2 for a craft in russian

#

On a german realmpool

#

very gud

#

you know a russian colleague of mine in university was really amused by the term 'puke language' because for him it sounds like you try to talk while vomiting, just as german sounds really aggressive to non-natives or arabic like they want to gut you when in fact they talk about flowers in their garden

winged zenith
#

1 more question if other tank isnt war I must swap?

jagged pier
#

yes

#

u swap on 1 boss

winged zenith
#

But can I reflect for damage 1st then swap?

jagged pier
#

they do the mechanic at like the same time

#

it has no impact on the SR u press it and taunt the other one

#

u ither SR or deflect i suppose depending on which hits first

#

or because u hav both to start ith u just take the judgement and SR

#

and the other buster goes to the other tank because he taunts after judgement

winged zenith
#

So I must beg other tank to not taunt during judgement

#

So I can reflect damage

naive ravine
pastel geyser
#

or ask him if he can handle solo xD

crisp ocean
#

for magisters terrace when I get marked with rune do both players go into the bubble at the same time?

I grabbed the talent from this faq will go through and look today and try them

tribal wharf
#

somebody dunno who said "overwhelming rage is bad i all content" dunno if that was jakey or mwahi and im curious who said it and a bit of a longer answer, at least in terms of keystones.

#

no, like every single expansion, i am not doing pyscho keys +18s where if i dont have 3 defensives up and ip i get 1 shot by all tank buster attacks

#

because im pretty sure IV PWAR guide shows the build i have

#

so use the iv build, is like total redundant answer

#

i asked before too

#

so if it truly is bad, i would like to consider changing it

#

similiar to how i though i use intervene 40 times a key, nope, like, 6/7

so now im considering dropping that.

Cuz the cast takes 3 seconds

You wont refresh if u start going in with 3 seconds left

its a 20 second buff which is nice, not as nice as the queen aszhara trinket last 30 seconds, meaning you can get 10 seconds of another trinket with its buff up

So when you're pulling all of the plants, how many stacks of the debuff do you start kiting?

naive ravine
#

Ive only done 12s so far and most of the time i face tank them till the end cuz my healer otherwise is bored

vital stirrup
#

At 3 stacks 6 sec left you can leap out then go back in at 3 sec

naive ravine
#

But I would probably tank them till I used half of my cds and then start kiting

vital stirrup
#

At least thats how brew does it

#

With only 1 leap going to 6 stacks might be better

harsh trellis
#

I have 2 really awesome healers but most the time I pug so thats good info to have

naive ravine
#

Can only go to 5 stacks in AA

vital stirrup
#

Can you drop on 5? Thought the last one would be casting

naive ravine
#

Im also dwarf/Dark iron dwarf so that also helps

vital stirrup
#

Yea dwarf would be much easier

naive ravine
#

Cuz the lashers have basically infinte range once they start the cast

#

So wait till 1 refresh and then kite

vital stirrup
#

Just wasnt sure when exactly their casts starts

#

Always done on 3

harsh trellis
naive ravine
#

I mean its defenetly not a must have, it just makes things easy

harsh trellis
#

I timed the fifteen a but I did a double pull so I need to lock in 1 pull tactics

naive ravine
#

AA has a tight timer

#

Most important thing next to first pull is knowing what battleaxes do

harsh trellis
#

I mean, it's the same pull every single time also

daring marlin
#

why do you keep saying this?

harsh trellis
#

Yeah, I know.You can double pull the left and the right ads before vexamus

naive ravine
#

Cuz battleaxes do a big magic dmg hit, so make sure to send SR for the dr

#

With no cast time

Battleaxes hurt lol

Thats what they do
