Remember when they told us this wasn’t possible so they just removed spellblock instead
I remember
guys holy shit decor duels tomorrow
I’m ready to use a bonus roll on Averzian and get my guidon 
Teach me how to arms in raid
im gonna use mine in prop hunt
Chim, when we kill it (again not killed yesterday -_-)
F
Bro I got you the spec owns
and 3rd kill of Averzian, 3rd kill without shield drop
The change to rend really fucked me
We can fix this
I forget to maintain rend and also I think i am prio'ing overpower over MS too much
Gotta slam MS harder
I press it now bc of muscle memory when I should prob slam instead and that kills my rage
I suck and am washed physically but I can explain how to play and you can be better than me 😁
I need to go get some half decent raid logs so you can point things out to me
Also in dungeons i feel like hot ass on bosses
Like in packs I can crank but on bosses im like tank damage 
Not at all you just need funnel
When you have funnel you are turbo nuking whatever target you have selected
Keep that in mind during packs
Delete the hard target
Yeah its the same thing usually on shadow so im used to that
Stupid question: Knowing that all three talent specialisations are viable for lvl'ing, what is your guy's opinion of Protection leveling?
i love colo arms warrs in keys they always make them doing 30k single target or dying to the bosses 1 mechanic somehow my fault
Leveling is irrelevant, play whatever you vibe with
prot levelin owns
we've leveled as prot since Legion
Basic slam, and rend are filler so while technically it is a dps loss if you don’t need to refresh rend, it isn’t the end of the world..
true
thats just not gonna happen
if its a magic cast on you just send SR
its an 18s cd...
no reason to hold it
plus you have MDR even if you do not reflect
How does prop hunt work is it a queued activity
yee
So true. Pull as much as you can with heroic throw and add reset range and mow everything down
I just used a level 70 boost I had from buying TWW to boost my sonic themed haranir for the achievement
Gamer
NPX tech for the last boss. You throw a snowball at the boss right as he splits, and the snowball will change direction and hit the correct target to kick.
when using eyes is hard
Anything changing with recommended talent builds tomorrow as far as mountain thane vs colossus, or is thane still superior?
no changes
the icy veins builds got you covered
Sick, thanks homie
Imma be bonking, whose joining me?
Was kinda hoping Colossus might be better for a while, it's fun hitting those big numbers lol
U can run ither they are the same
anyone got some 15ish logs i can look at so i can look at someone ik is doing it somewhat correctly lol
I might try running colossus for a few fights in raid just to see how it feels this season. I like the bonk
Ran in keys on the weekend and its only gunna get better on reset
I ran a bunch of 14-15 this week
It cranks now we’re gonna be ripping
I havent messed with col this week but i might tonight for the lulz in preparation of bonkmaxxing
Pulled 110k overall in pit, feels so good getting big bonks
BONK
ooph
Gather is still cheeks though
yeah my main problem with colossus is like sometimes waiting for thunder clap to come off cd lmao
like shit man i need this clap here
I just use revenge to gather, takes more planning though
yes
Just tell dps to hold for a few seconds
Once your up and running its fine
Still think thane is the play for seat tho, just because of the first pull
Hurty a lotty and u need to gather fast
yes
I thought Mountain Thane produce bigger bonks than Colossus, especially in M+. Bigger dmg buff to revenge, lightning bolt, thunder blast.
Col getting buffed tomorrow, bigger bonks
Still think the bonk shouldn't be canceled on feign death
They should let us bonk regardless
I dont care of something is dead that im hitting with my colossus smash if anything it should do x2 dmg
pretty sure it keeps channeling if a mob dies
i think so too
Cause you're pretending to sit there dead when a heavy object is coming at you
but i cant confirm
oh thats pvp but in pve if a mob dies it will still finish casting iirc
You cast smash. Hunter fd it. It canceled the cast and you lose it
Which is just shit
It does they changed this in s1 df
How wide is the frontal arc that an attack can be blocked or parried in?
They explicitly changed it
180 degrees
excellent ty
Dunno bout in PvP but in pve if someone dies it does continue
I believe it also continues if your target is moved out of range
im fairly sure u can actually heroic leap while channeling also
so like you can get the final hit as u leap and land
Leap during demolish? Yes
With the 800% bonus on challenging now I just rip that on the first two with a clap and it seems to be enough even in Colo until I gather the back two
Though I don’t really see many real dps heavies in 14-15
when does that upgrade weapon thing go live
like i remember reading can upgrade max crafted weapon or something
Potentially tomorrow after you unlock rerolls, but no specified time or date has been given
ok thank you
soon
"hey guys you need to fill out these goals, which you copy paste from your manager, which they copy paste from their general manager, which they copy paste from their subdivision director, which they copy paste from the division director, which they copy paste from the CEO"
why does management do this
illusion of company unity
my manager def used chatgpt to generate my performance review but it boiled down to "you're doing good keep it up" so whatever 
will using the bonus roll on a mythic plus dungeon upgrade it to mythic or will it stay heroic
My old company everything went to the CEO directly and that was a nightmare
My goal is to own the company and make a morbillion dollars along the way
What more can a person want
M+ 10 rerolls will give you a myth item
alright thank you
Bonus roll will give you the same ilvl/track you would get from vault for m+
How do you get 2x bonus rolls next week
If you completed the 5/5 thing in voidstorm
Once you finish the quest chain to unlock the forge you can buy them for various resources
How is everyone’s NPX runs? That left wing just drills me it seems
healers need to know to heal the tank, you can help reset heal absorbs with stuns and SR
thats about it
use IV liberally to help out as well
That be how npx is
and health pots, of course
Dare i say the 4apex + indom LS build for npx 

million things can go wrong in that hallway
no way
oh wait u mean in MT?
ah nvm
presumably left side in nexus
yea Nexus is ass
challengers or w/e ramp up a necrotic on you
giga poopoo
group got nuked by the pink laser dude in nexus lol
Tbf thats where LS has its niche
we didnt have lust though which didnt help anything
Like literally there big tank damage and heal absorb
in nexus ive been taking the least amount of mobs on left side and doing all of right mobs.
At the same time
i see more and more tanks going right side first and then left side, simply cuz left side is a fuckery on its own lol
sucks im wasting all those buffs now
I play with a hpal usually. We lust our first pull going left which usually goes pretty good. But other than that not sure if stuff isn’t dying fast enough or what but I run out of everything quickly. Maybe just need to pull less for now. Cant get this 16 to save my life
if you do left pull fine with lust, whats killing you is not the heal absorbs, do you have a log and/or are you eating ground aoes? are you pulling circuit seers for no reason?
again to reiterate, link us the log
we cant work with scenarios without data
Sure, I’ll have to grab one of my recents. The list pull goes down quickly I think is why it’s fine, just after that it gets weird. I’m gonna have to check my recents

me i ping u
We lust this instead of first pull, I’ve found it’s maybe slightly less time efficient but also much less risk of death lusting there
And it’s still up for right side boss

The first left side pull is a bunch of heal absorb guys and the channeled guy, can burn down the channeled guy before he casts and then the heal absorb is generally a nonissue with lust and stops
Just don’t charge into the stun line. Not that I’ve done that but if I did, I’m just saying it would be bad
crazy how many paladins are around... im getting palaphobia ong bruh
What talent would one drop for BSV? Ravager?
what do we upgrade with void next week?
Wait... why doesn't my build have bloodsurge already...
sorry bloodborne

a whole 49g
defensive trinkets this season are ultra ass
except solar core which is actually good
maybe except one or 2
but yeah youre right
i still wanted it anyways lol
the one with vers on shield break?
yes
now i dont have to get it on hero
do you even see that vers?
but, part of reason i want is i dont have to think about trying to activate it
the fact that I have to go to chimaerus to try to get gaze
meh
i'm debating raiding for the first time in a while
im going for that one too
Just make sure to budget a few hours for it
i would just like to clarify all of this
I don't mind doing some progress as long as I get the kill and then get better groups with it
Gaze is just too strong
any trinket that i can get, i will potentially use it
There will probably be a lot of shitters in M Chim pugs going for the gaze but
Hello, here to settle a debate. on Lightguard Vanguard can a prot warrior spell reflect the judgment
Puzzle box
heart of wind and solar flare
ultrapuke
or heart of wind and puzzlebox yes
no
no but you can reflect the busters after
only SotR/FV
or reflect one and deflect the other
I'll ahve to do some sims with bis trinkets vs heart of wind and solarflare
to see how much i lose
You can sim H gaze too
heart of wind +
- puzzlebox
- solar flare
- solar core (if a defensive option is needed)
H gaze p good
those are our M+ choices
that works
i'll continue debating with myself if i go to chimaerus this season
I killed H Chim in one shot
contract also performs well even with tank tax
but thats about it
i wouldn't go out of my way to get it however
Are you leaving out H Gaze because it doesn’t actually compete with M trinkets or because he said he doesn’t raid
Does recrafting items require sparks 🤔
no
Because I would argue H Chim is more like a world boss than raiding
because i don't raid
I haven't raided since amirdrassil
You can join with some of us who have aotc and kill it super fast if you’d like
If it’s a time issue
why does that matter if he wont get the trinket
nah it's fine
I mean I did
i'll see what i get season is long
You never know
i have time until august
did they say what week they gonna be done with crest caps?
they have not
ty
I suspect crest will not be uncapped for a while with this new system
because it's not really needed
my guess is .7
well, if it does we're still too early into the season
are we still thane or any colossus swappers with changes
you get full gear upgraded in about 12-13 weeks if we were careful with crests
in a 24-25 weeks season that is reasonable
It sounds a little bit antiplayer but if I was Blizzard I wouldn't uncap crests until x.x.7 now
Personal preference really. They are close enough for it not to matter.
solid thanks
Big, you got this
Freakin gaming
Thane Prot will be fine tomorrow right? I got promoted to raid tank for a day
colossus is slightly more dps in raid
thane is slightly more dps in keys
thats it
play either one you like
Thane is somehow more braindead than nubrew. So col all the way
Guys, i'm getting desperate, this shit is actually making me feel like quitting, I'm getting destroyed in m+ with 273 ilvl, 12 is my absolute max and one out of 2 keys end in a ff on the first pulls, especially xenas and skyreach, i don't know what to do, i'm panicking as soon as things are starting to go south, I press everything, it's humiliating, I feel like i'm so squishy it's pathetic, i'm seeing similar ilvl roll 14's almost no problem and i'm over here fighting for my life every second, it cannot be normal. I can't handle it, every time I get picked for in PU I feel like this was a mistake god help me

Have you tried blaming the healer?
I mustn't lie, tho
do you have bigwigs or DBM with littlewigs and dbm dungeons?
Jut believe it then lol
make sure you dont have private auras disabled
and make sure you move them to a visible place
you need to track dots
and the heal absorbs
and you need to know how to reset them
stunning and SR works on NPX heal absorbs
stunning and stepping away for a second resets Skyreach stacks
same goes for AA first pull, except you cant reset it as easily since its a 25 yard range cast, you need to leap at 5s or less for it
tracking dots this season is required
I'm so focused on my pack, I see something pulling aggro I try to charge it but ZAP ⚡ forgot there was a laser beam in NPX
make sure you have DBM or Bigwigs with their dungeon companion addons
You need to track dn
no u
what's dn ?

Damnit the age is showing again
I am reading
Is adding even more addon to the game really going to help ? Like don't I already have debuffs showing by default ?
wdym
I'm not trying to argue, i'm genuinely asking
you dont have DBM or Bigwigs?
Well you said bigwigs or something was a debuff tracking addon right ?
I have dmb yeah
Not bw
Dbm can do it too
Is there background info
Just preference
but yes you need DBM dungeons for dungeons alerts
and in the case of bigwigs, littlewigs manages dungeons alerts
this is not a "more addons" thing, it has been pretty standard in M+ since expansions ago
well it's my first time tanking in m+ ever
thank you, I got it through curse
even if you didnt tank, you should have had it on
Actually talking abt this is there a way to check sb uptime specifically when ur in combat?
in logs sure
Ye in logs
No I mean my first time doing m+ whatsoever actually, sorry
go to damage taken and hover your mouse over Melee hits
no worries, youre good
Ahh, a new new player! Welcome!
Have you gone to icy veins and looked over the prot warrior guide yet?
Everybody starts somewhere, welcome to Warcraft!
I have, I got some bis, some crafts i'm using flasks and platter for aggro, I got the right talents
Look at all this wholesome energy
i guess you guys were right
Do you have the right talents though 
I like new people it means my game isnt dying yet
Can you show talents?
i did alot more damage that 14 and didnt feel more dying
dead game everyone is playing Lucid Blocks now
I've been playing wow since cata, i've just been a casual for the longest time and only tanked through hero aberrus back in DF, and that's literally all my actual experience
ok dont get overwhelmed here, now that you have DBM dungeons make sure you track the dots correctly, they are likely what is killing you in those two examples
Other than that I just did delves
BIS is not really BIS
the dps ripped too, we +2'd WR with a minute to spare lol
we sim for whatever we need to equip
If you’re just now getting dbm, I’m guessing you haven’t started logging yet.
Well, it is the technical best combination of all available gear but you are very unlikely to aquire all the pieces on myth track
hes not asking for general advice
See, easy money. We know whats up 
dont overwhelm the guy
All in due time
That's a good song tho
the dps didnt play tho
Key parses are also kinda jank af
whats the best shield block/ignore pain trackers you guys have found?
Blizz's CDM
Cdm
i miss my WA so bad
In game default bars
for sure, but when i was pulling 8's a 40 feels alot better
Fair enough, fair enough
The built in default cooldown is awesome
eh its a big ugly bar
And it works
i was hoping for an icon that shows cd and buff duration for sb
BetterCDM and AyijeCDM are two popular options, ArcUI as well
I want a bookmark option in discord
I got used to default bar for sb and IP I don’t even track anymore.
Fiddle around with arcui and msuf
Same for brew
I use the cdm bar for SB and it works well enough
Arc was nice but i also end up between computers sometime so leaving things as base as possible makes that super easy
I play on my smartfridge
And I don't track IP at all but I track absorbs on my own plate
Had to dogsit for my parents and raid on my moms PC, most of my shit was intact so i was able to still parse
honestly was kinda nice
I wish the default nameplates were better
u can make it an icon
literally in the default settings
Almost 90% im getting better, daddy
Big daddy shit right there
Arcui, seems slightly heavier cpu
where do you see that
I'm not entirely sure what I'd be getting wrong but I thought it the past not sure words but a 100k bubble 40% absorb is better than a 150k no Dr or whatever it is trinket examples in think of is neltharians lair trinket was good and now jellyisbad
@stiff inlet
in logs
Would a bar for SB like this for enrage be better than an icon?
i just noticed you can show an icon when a buff fades in standard ui
that needs a lot of work
Maybe it's case by case thing
does that mean im taking hits to the back?
what would a good amount of blocked hits look like? just looked at my own and its 89
90%+ at a bare min
95+
i'm not even dropping sb anymore even between pulls
95%+ ideally
got work to do then
You want it as close to 100% as possible, but realistically 95% is the number to aim for
hr and haste are extreme
when combined you will usually have 20+ seconds left when a pack dies
You will not hit 100% but should shoot for it
Unless you are really unlucky with procs
I am HR
then you need to keep SB up
Who wants to run a 2 with me where i aim for as low blocked hit % as possible 
can you link the log? we can check for back hits
qweqa is a very common report name i feel
0 % blocked key as part when
lol the left hand random letters
my dude? where are you getting the 75% from?
No parry neither I'd say but that's rmg
not sure how to check
read what i said again
right here
i specifically put italics on the word
hits
let me just make it bold
i did
well im slow
just wasnt sure what part meant back hits
lol my bad
im not addressing you atm
i didnt realize it broke both down like that
87 alot better then 75 then so thats good
well 60
backshots
lol

you mastery blocked 23 of them
talk to the hand nimchip style
which means you did not have SB up
My new daily post
Thank nim
Yes sorry
i am 100% sure that a few are when i charge in i need to be better on getting SB up instantly if im pulling multiple packs
you were at 95%, this is good
i will work on making sure uptime is better ty
just felt like i was getting fucked at times
guess i need to get better at dropping the bleed
You did take a lot from fiery talon yeah, which is the dot
yea i was trying to drop it at times but didnt always go super well
sorry let me reiterate
to check for back hits
make sure SB is green
anything not blocked there (while SB is active) is a back hit
so in @stiff inlet 's case 88 back hits
in @vital stirrup 's case they took 59 back hits
no
gonna keep an eye on that
we're only checking for back hits here
SB could be up, you got clipped in the back
Green = who knows
Red = who knows
i just check for back hits differently, but this way is quicker
trying ghash's method
Green box is quickest I would agree
disregard SB being red, that just means hits while SB was not up - this is not what we're looking for (and any blocking there is done via block chance/mastery)
can i turn on auto logging in keys with dbm dungeons?
pretty sure thats how i do it
Can raider io upload logs?
Ah, ok I was gonna start logging my keys
warcraftlogs or WCL uploader for uploading logs
loggerhead for auto segment and log keys
works like a charm once set up
and then on top of that i have outplayed app which records footage to 8tb HDD
It's through archon app now?
i use curseforge for that
as curseforge runs from the same exe that outplayed does
overwolf
no
you can install the barebones WCL Uploader
WCLU is a standalone
thats what i use
I need to go refind that
archon does it too, but i can't be bothered, WCL Uploader works just fine
On wowhead it says bis crafts are weapon + shield. But isnt a mythic weapon/shield better?
That doen't work anymore
we dont support wowhead anymore, use icy-veins and check our pins - but yes myth tracks are better, you skip those crafts if you have myth tracks
no
and if you are a smith yourself, and you put points into relevant peices will be repair all slots for free
disregard everything above this message
after some amount of weeks
ok so bis gear is just cloak + bracers, if i hasve myth wpn/shield
Use the raider io addon
if thats what you were trying to say
recommended crafts are often written with the start of the season in mind, and getting crafted weap/shield are big early boosts
but yeah, replaced later
i just wanna do 2 bis crafts, dont care for a weapon, its just a alt
then yeah just do two embellishes
okay, if i have bracers already, i assume i can go feet ?
1 day to be 5% larger
Sounds like the ads I get on my computer
8hr maintenance starting at 7a PDT... LOL
I highly doubt it will be back before dinner
why worry about it
because i need vault content to survive
Raid starts right after LOL
Tuesday raiding 
and thats why you dont join tuesday raiding guilds
We are Tues/Wed
patch fucking you over? check
ddos fucking you over? check
While you're waiting for servers to come back up for your tuesday raid, I will be doing whatever this is

What the!?
Lucid Blocks is a trip but its fun to stumble blind through the world trying to figure shit out
I don’t have a guild or friends who play, can I get a Gratz for Let Me Solo Him. I’ve been trying for two weeks.
hell yeah gamer
gz
Ggz!
what game is that
looks vaguely doom
Nice!
That delve is a fun boss tbh
Finally tried it as fury and 
Yeah it was good. I liked progressing via talent changes and elixirs
Like I had mechanics down but I just need to figure out the balance of talents and finally pulled it off
colossus owns
should be np now with gear
Now that the dust is settled, it looks like i was rank 178 for the ?? Nullaeus kill
Pretty neat
I was ~1900
Noiceeee
Everyone complaining it was a jobless achievement lol
With the colossus changes… we feel like it’s still gonna be Mountain thane?
Will it be close?
it was
went online at 2pm
already closed
smile
Both will be viable. Thane has a slight edge in M+, Col in Raid, but they are about the same
Play what you prefer
Big time colossus fan boy here. So I’ll be rolling that !
With EU yeah, feel bad for y'all
I think moreso because EU opened and closed within like 4 hours
Oh /slaps self
That shit was snapped up asap
mfs prolly saw how easy it was for NA and thought I GOTTA GO DO IT
meanwhile I was wiping in heroic raid
Easy? It took me 8 1/2 minutes to kill with 240 gear
Yeah the fight wasnt hard it was just a damage sponge in low gear
you got a loicense for that meme, mate?
LMFAO
Part of me wants to get the new Tomadachi Life for the switch
My brother got it and ive been messing around on his island and its very amusing
I still have so much shit on steam to 100% tho
Is there any guidance on what we should target first with the void cores starting tomorrow
Is it just trinkets first and whatever low pieces are?
there's no guidance because it depends on what you have
droptimizer is usually best unless you want defensive (there's only 1) options
solar core
what affects vaelgor circle after beam that Im tanking so it's smaller or bigger?
taking stacks
of the beam
why its different despite me and other tank have 8 stacks but sometimes its small, sometimes big
No raidbots premium so i gotta sim each dungeon individually sadgers
keep in mind the size is different from the beam tank to the rest of the raid
i think stacks are just pull strength
so on size, thats the only thing i can think of
Yeah the size of the circle you run out of is based on your personal position
So you always have to run the same distance
yeah I know, but im getting different sizes on very first beam that Im tanking
Tank beam reduces strength of the pull
Different sizes or different pull strength?
sizes
sometimes i must leap out of vaelgor's red circle (target marker), sometimes its just smol leap enough
despite staying and having center in same place
The "size" of the circle you escape from doesnt matter
All that matters is the pull strength, which is what you lessen when you soak
You also dont want to leap out right away since you want to be the once to trigger the Nullzone Implosion
Does Spell Reflect work on Mythic Paladins tankbusters the same as Heroic?
yes
Excellent, I thought so. Figured this was faster than checking logs
Combine with a Blood DK and I think we only need to swap 3 times all fight
Looks like Xenas is going to be the dungeon to reroll with on my priest, 4 upgrades to 3 DEs
Exciting
even faster is checking the pins and going straight to the maxroll sheet
Prayge for gaze in vault
Channeling my inner Guil and manifesting a vault Gaze
I'm already burned out of this season
Did everything +15 and I already wanna quit lol
It is a game at the end of the day, take a break for a bit 
Content aint going anywhere for a while
Yeah, and 12.0.5 doesn't really bring anything interesting for me
This guy HATES prop hunt
I just want spellblock back with the amount of aids mobs that do magic dmg with their melee 💀
So take a break

thank christ
well, sometimes it does, cause I had circles big enough that I had to move boss to exit it :v
is it possible to to such pull?
and I assume Im doing something wrong
You aggro the mobs, and then bring them into the boss room and fight them with the boss
i think he means
Is it viable? Dunno
they will go down through g25
But it is possible
just jump down and snap probs
Think they would snap? I feel like they'd try and path through the stair pack still
oh trueeeee
or yeah heroic ig
thank you, will try follower
Manifesting it FOR YOU
i spent a lot of time in heroic motherlode in S2 TWW crafting some truly godly routes with horrendous lust timings

maybe not follower cause those stupid bots will agro everything
Yeah i can imagine the bots will fuck things up
especially the one worgen hunter that just jumps around like an idiot
Its player accurate
i swear hes even stupider than most players
sure
its easy
i did m0 skyreach the other day and i didnt have issues soloing it to check routing shit
until the 2nd boss
which just perma heals cause i dont have beam soaks
Or jump into a solo heroic or even a solo normal
If the goal is just checking route and mob behavior, it doesn’t matter much
also do you prefer skip the miniboss on the last pull on the way to last boss or take it?
I think I figured it out. I like prot paladin cause wings+divine toll gives me shivers. I dont have anything on prot warrior that quite gives me the same feeling on command, but the general feel of prot warrior is way more steady. I wish warrior could give me that same dopamine hit or something.
what key level is this for?
15
you dont need such a weird route for a 15
just do the 12 route
optimize routes at 17 or higher
Avatar + Demolish go brrrrr
anyone thinking colosus will be better on reset?
I do like demolish, but when I was playing with it I wasnt sure of the rotation. i kept wanting to hit tclap like it owed me money.
and tbh warrior has enough keybinds. I ws trying to figure out when to use demolish properly.
They will be about the same in all content. Thane has a slight edge in M+ and Col in raid. You can play either
You send demolish essentially on CD, preferably with 10 stacks of Colossal Might
Esp after tomorrow, it’ll be up a lot
I forget what that change does.
CDR from getting a might stack while at 10 is now 5 seconds, up from 2 seconds
And you get a might stack anytime you hit SS, or Revenge 3+ targets
Yeah we’re gonna have it up so much
That channeled ability can bite my ass
Arms is gonna go crazy too with it
You still hit tclap essentially on cooldown as colossus for the rage. It's not competing with anything except SS since revenge is a spender vs a generator
You'll still press it less anyway since you don't have storm surge
Think consensus was arms changes are a slight nerf?
No they nerfed damage I believe
Didn’t see anything in the notes about that but, alas
thats not what archi is saying in #updates-midnight
For once shadow didn’t get psychic link tuning with a patch
well i guess its small nerfs yea
Didn’t practiced strikes go from 20 > 15 and you lose a free cleave?
I think the cdr change could end up being higher m+ overall if you pull around it
But yea I think it was like 5-8%? They were talking about it in the channel the other day
more fun until less rage and splat cuz didnt manage rage and hit sb ip
so, bc thane dont change much i doubt i will change off thane unless col is like 30% better, which it cant be
Not YET.
ok, cause it was my most accessible keybind for me. I use a nostromo, so it was my "8" key, which is right under my middle finger. thats why it was so easy for me to hit it often. I can keep it there if we still hit tclap as often as possible.
Meta is always what’s more dps
If colossus was 5% more dps and 50% less health, if it was enough for you to stay alive everyone would play colossus
when you've got a ton of rage coming in, you can skip some claps since revenge slaps on colossus. but yeah, especially early expansion, you mostly just follow ss > tc > rev
we play frothing as colossus
with is 20% to refund half of the rage spent
plus you get a shitload of free revenges due to parries
and because of BSC
you were right, just timed it
gz
better saul call
as a rule of thumb never do weird routes until you see that you're not timing due to known dps (or are too close to not time)
It’s difficult to gauge overall in game bc it doesn’t account for downtime in the way a log does
You could take a 10 minute break between each pack while waiting for cds and do 200k overall on the in game meter
my laptop is not that good, I do not additional fps loss if I turn on logs and start to log every run to check 🙁
For that key personally I’d say 93k is prob on the low side of good with those dps
I would aim for 100-110
But like I said it’s hard to really know from the in game meter
thank you, got it
for 15s? 100 is probably way too low
110+
oh wait
what are we talking about
is it dps dps or tank dps?
because 100 is fine as tank, but it depends on the dungeon
youre not gonna consistently do 100k
tank dps and ratio to 3 other dps
no idea
logs are better like Roid said
people usually log, just look yourself up and see if someone uploaded it
yep I will log every run once i get my pc
80k+ is more than fine for 15s
is 12.0.5 making colossal valid for m+=
Not with that attitude 🥇
It’s already valid for m+
Does it burst like it did in tww?
Tomorrow it will be more valid!
Define “like it did in tww”
hmm, i remember using demolish in keys in tww and dealing highest damage on that specific pull.
That’s more a statement on your dps than the capability of colossus but it’s overall dps capability is solid and will get better tomorrow
demolish was s2 tww
is it still like that?
no
demolish does big damage but it was nerfed
its not bursty
revenge is your highest damage
it's usually the biggest damage source when you use it on a short pull but that doesn't mean much, it's less of a portion of overall than it was in tww
although the cd will be lower tomorrow
demolish is still higher on priority then revenge
midnight colossus is way more sustained aoe compared to tww colossus
bc thane is better
It’s not bursty like it was in early tww but the overall dps capability is great because it’s very sustained
thane is more dps
demolish is higher priority than every other on-gcd button
colossus even with the changes is still short a little bit in aoe
aoe stomp aoe stomp aoe stomp
but honestly it doesnt really matter
its kinda sad that its like that
i feel like colossus is all about big damage
most people would be better served playing thane even if colossus was slightly higher dps
colossus is also just such a headache to gather mobs compared to pressing tclap every other gcd
Yes but if it did 10% more damage, you’d play it wouldn’t you
terrible aoe threat no thanks id rather aoe stomp
colossus is (right now) at -9.3% under thane in aoe, while on the patch it'll be at -3.5%
of course, wouldn't change my opinion that it's a headache for the gather
I think we can comfortably call that a fact at this point 
live colossus is -1.7% under thane in ST and patch colossus is ahead 1.2% after the patch
so its super close
play what you want
Blizz has been pretty solid on tank balance for some time now
What about for aoe?
scroll up
wow how did i miss that
Very solid indeed that's why brew is in another galaxy
once you've planted and pressed demolish once, threat is no longer an issue... but some dps ain't waiting that long
Brew isn’t vastly better than other tanks
Playing brew is such a breeze compared to prot warrior
let brew have their time to shine, they deserve a meta season
More people playing a spec =\= spec is grossly imbalanced
I tried pugging keys as guardian druid and i quit it for the season after 3 keys
Actually insane
druid was looking so good, until it wasnt

I have no problem with current iteration of guardian but I can't even gather effectively in pugs
What am I supposed to do
swipe moonfire? its not really hard
Is moonfire not a thing anymore
dont play red moon
Not enough
Bc guardian is dumb easy to gather on, it’s like the easiest tank to gather on
I had dps just destroy my aggro instantly every key because they were attacking before I did my first raze
And moonfire+thrash is not enough
theres a lot more problems in what youre describing than just class problems
if at all class problems
In pugs dps don't wait what am I supposed to do
The problem is you
You’re starting at failure instead of asking yourself what within your control can support the solution - when you come at a problem that way you’re gonna end up in the same place no matter what class you play
Then why I don't have this problem on prot warrior and I have it on guardian druid
Couldn’t tell you
But what I can tell you is lots of people play Druid and don’t have that problem
For lots of people that play druid and don't have that problem there are multiple full threads on wow forums of people that have that problem
And it's guardian only
Usually with bear I don’t see an aggro problem unless dying immediately and then the group wiping counts 
Dreamgrove could probably help you out
So while the specific cause may not be in your control, you can find a solution but not if you just reduce the situation to “well what can I do”
But if we want to get to the real issue it’s probably because @undone beacon decided Druids weren’t the play
while working on time trials for mdi yesterday squish was saying he hastimes where he cant gen the aggro needed for bigger/more complicated pulls too so
seems like a more common problem with bear rn than others
sure but thats a whole different level than the rest of us will see
it's ok i am just imagining things
there is literally ample evidence that only guardian has this problem this patch after the multiple targeted nerfs
Im not saying that it doesn’t need help
it needed either a damage redistribution or a threat multiplier modification on thrash
I’m saying your attitude towards it is reductive and isn’t going to help you solve the issue - and that there are a billion people playing guardian at what is probably your level that don’t have this issue or have found ways to combat it
oh i solved the issue imediately
by shelving it until next patch
Hey, that’s a solution 
Am I reductive
I am debating playing brew as an alt to my prot warrior
somehow my heroic leap was binded to my mouse5 randomly
oh
but how much rage overcap xdd
i dumped it on revenge wondering why i got so much rage
I don’t know that I’ve ever met a reductive rhinoceros
alright see you in 30
yah yah, lmk how that goes lol
what is the most chill healer
my mistweaver friend just spinning crane kicks in keys and blasts
is there a list of items i should be trying to mythic roll for first as prot in keys?
run droptimizer and check
if youre looking for defensive options (non-simmable), any myth shield will do and solar core from Skyreach
everything else you sim
I suppose it's time to start pushing
wait is solar core good? it doesnt read good to me
im a warrior what do you expect
thanks for the help i will have to try out my myth core then i guess
Are you running like sub 14s?
Mistweaver is omega braindead if so
gah, im drawing a blank. there's keystoneguru for routes, ... but there's another one. can't remember! anyone? (not a fan of that guru site)
Gets a lot more tricky though around 15-17 when bosses start hurting
the other site doesnt have routes
its just an MDT on browser
you need your own routes for the most part
otherwise its keystone and raider.io
threechest! that's the one. thx nim.
APB are you ready
it has routes if you do like this. but it's a fair bit of browsing to find something that is compatible with your skil level.
Maisara caverns has lots of options
yoo dudes , do you know how can I recreate this WA to new expand now - https://wago.io/Y1PUe9h95
its just shield block tracker
turn on the in-game CDM
happy with that after we bricked the 16 lol
and then just tweak the settings of it
2500
grats!
What did we land on last night about where to use the bonus rolls, I said I was gonna make a note and then drank and went to bed instead
just run droptimizer and go from there
unless its defensive options, and then you target shields/solar core
Its all the same upgrade amounts across the dungeons, but i think i remember something about the NPX shield being better than MT and I had it wrong
for sure, ty ty
