Remember when they told us this wasn’t possible so they just removed spellblock instead

#

I remember

undone beacon
#

guys holy shit decor duels tomorrow

lofty warren
#

Spell block takes too much niche knowledge but spell reflect doesnt dug

#

Duh

#

I’m ready to use a bonus roll on Averzian and get my guidon bedge

undone beacon
#

im gonna use mine in prop hunt

What confuses you

#

What is challenging

frosty mango
#

The change to rend really fucked me

dusky canopy
#

We can fix this

undone beacon
#

I forget to maintain rend and also I think i am prio'ing overpower over MS too much

#

Gotta slam MS harder

frosty mango
#

I press it now bc of muscle memory when I should prob slam instead and that kills my rage

dusky canopy
#

I suck and am washed physically but I can explain how to play and you can be better than me 😁

undone beacon
#

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 sadgers

dusky canopy
#

Well yeah Colo does 50k dps without 2 funnel adds

#

This is normal

undone beacon
#

oh okay

#

I thought i was doing something wrong

dusky canopy
#

Not at all you just need funnel

undone beacon
#

Because I was like damn im dragging ass rn

#

Hmmm

dusky canopy
#

When you have funnel you are turbo nuking whatever target you have selected

#

Keep that in mind during packs

#

Delete the hard target

undone beacon
#

Yeah its the same thing usually on shadow so im used to that

wintry bear
#

Stupid question: Knowing that all three talent specialisations are viable for lvl'ing, what is your guy's opinion of Protection leveling?

pastel summit
#

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

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.

Anything changing with recommended talent builds tomorrow as far as mountain thane vs colossus, or is thane still superior?

lusty grotto
#

the icy veins builds got you covered

hollow hill
#

Sick, thanks homie

jagged pier
#

Imma be bonking, whose joining me?

hollow hill
#

Was kinda hoping Colossus might be better for a while, it's fun hitting those big numbers lol

jagged pier
#

U can run ither they are the same

stiff inlet
#

anyone got some 15ish logs i can look at so i can look at someone ik is doing it somewhat correctly lol

hollow hill
#

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

BONK

#

ooph

frosty mango
#

Gather is still cheeks though

toxic pewter
#

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

frosty mango
#

I just use revenge to gather, takes more planning though

toxic pewter
#

yes

jagged pier
#

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

toxic pewter
#

yes

hoary dawn
#

I thought Mountain Thane produce bigger bonks than Colossus, especially in M+. Bigger dmg buff to revenge, lightning bolt, thunder blast.

undone beacon
#

Col getting buffed tomorrow, bigger bonks

jagged pier
#

20 second cd on bonk on 3+ more targets

#

Im in

harsh trellis
#

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

toxic pewter
#

pretty sure it keeps channeling if a mob dies

tribal wharf
#

i think so too

harsh trellis
#

Cause you're pretending to sit there dead when a heavy object is coming at you

tribal wharf
#

but i cant confirm

harsh trellis
#

It doesnt

#

Hunters can fd it

#

And you lose it

toxic pewter
#

oh thats pvp but in pve if a mob dies it will still finish casting iirc

harsh trellis
#

You cast smash. Hunter fd it. It canceled the cast and you lose it

#

Which is just shit

tribal wharf
#

looks to me like it continues casting?

frosty mango
lusty spear
#

How wide is the frontal arc that an attack can be blocked or parried in?

frosty mango
#

They explicitly changed it

lusty grotto
#

180 degrees

lusty spear
frosty mango
#

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

toxic pewter
#

im fairly sure u can actually heroic leap while channeling also

#

so like you can get the final hit as u leap and land

dusky canopy
#

Leap during demolish? Yes

toxic pewter
#

just have to aim it good

#

cuz of that 180 degree arc

#

wish it was 360 tbh

#

lmao

frosty mango
#

Though I don’t really see many real dps heavies in 14-15

undone beacon

Just do a 14 with me peepo

I'll rip off ya

Then hit fade

"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

my manager def used chatgpt to generate my performance review but it boiled down to "you're doing good keep it up" so whatever keks

will using the bonus roll on a mythic plus dungeon upgrade it to mythic or will it stay heroic

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

lusty grotto
#

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

we didnt have lust though which didnt help anything

Like literally there big tank damage and heal absorb

lofty warren
#

in nexus ive been taking the least amount of mobs on left side and doing all of right mobs.

jagged pier
#

At the same time

drowsy comet
#

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

tribal wharf
#

sucks im wasting all those buffs now

jagged pier
#

Better lust timing

#

Dont need it for dps increase boss really

desert brook
#

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

lusty grotto
#

again to reiterate, link us the log

#

we cant work with scenarios without data

desert brook
#

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

lusty grotto
drowsy comet
#

who tf pinged me

toxic pewter
#

me i ping u

frosty mango
#

And it’s still up for right side boss

drowsy comet
frosty mango
#

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

lusty grotto
#

not just the stun line

#

the ground aoes also stun

crazy how many paladins are around... im getting palaphobia ong bruh

What talent would one drop for BSV? Ravager?

defensive trinkets this season are ultra ass

lusty grotto
#

except solar core which is actually good

torn gulch
#

maybe except one or 2

lusty grotto
#

but yeah youre right

tribal wharf
#

i still wanted it anyways lol

torn gulch
#

the one with vers on shield break?

lusty grotto
#

yes

tribal wharf
#

now i dont have to get it on hero

torn gulch
#

do you even see that vers?

lusty grotto
#

its not good because of the vers

#

its good because its a partial shield

torn gulch
#

it's 1.5 min

#

and partial

lusty grotto
#

and the cd yes

tribal wharf
#

but, part of reason i want is i dont have to think about trying to activate it

torn gulch
#

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

tribal wharf
#

this is the garbage one

#

on use, and healing

#

based on dmg

torn gulch
#

Can I enter a M Chimaerus group if I do it on heroic I wonder

#

Might raid that then

undone beacon
#

Yeah

#

Its very hit or miss to pug M Chim but its doable

tribal wharf
#

im going for that one too

undone beacon
#

Just make sure to budget a few hours for it

tribal wharf
#

i would just like to clarify all of this

torn gulch
#

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

tribal wharf
#

any trinket that i can get, i will potentially use it

undone beacon
#

There will probably be a lot of shitters in M Chim pugs going for the gaze but

torn gulch
#

If I don't raid what trinkets do I even play with

#

Solarflare

#

and something else

#

Hello, here to settle a debate. on Lightguard Vanguard can a prot warrior spell reflect the judgment

Puzzle box

or heart of wind and puzzlebox yes

vital stirrup
lusty grotto

only SotR/FV

#

or reflect one and deflect the other

lusty grotto
#

and Senn's casts

#

the sheet is pinned, you can look it up there

torn gulch
#

I'll ahve to do some sims with bis trinkets vs heart of wind and solarflare

#

to see how much i lose

solid sun
#

You can sim H gaze too

lusty grotto
#

heart of wind +

  1. puzzlebox
  2. solar flare
  3. solar core (if a defensive option is needed)
solid sun
#

H gaze p good

lusty grotto
#

those are our M+ choices

torn gulch
solid sun
#

I killed H Chim in one shot

lusty grotto
#

contract also performs well even with tank tax

#

but thats about it

#

i wouldn't go out of my way to get it however

solid sun
#

Are you leaving out H Gaze because it doesn’t actually compete with M trinkets or because he said he doesn’t raid

quiet matrix
#

Does recrafting items require sparks 🤔

vital stirrup
#

no

solid sun
#

Because I would argue H Chim is more like a world boss than raiding

torn gulch
#

I haven't raided since amirdrassil

solid sun
#

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

lusty grotto
#

why does that matter if he wont get the trinket

torn gulch
#

nah it's fine

solid sun
#

I mean I did

torn gulch
#

i'll see what i get season is long

solid sun
#

You never know

torn gulch
#

i have time until august

stiff inlet
#

did they say what week they gonna be done with crest caps?

lusty grotto
#

they have not

stiff inlet

torn gulch
#

I suspect crest will not be uncapped for a while with this new system

#

because it's not really needed

vital stirrup
#

my guess is .7

lusty grotto
#

well, if it does we're still too early into the season

narrow yew
#

are we still thane or any colossus swappers with changes

torn gulch
#

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

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

abstract arch
#

Have you tried blaming the healer?

cobalt jewel
#

I mustn't lie, tho

lusty grotto
abstract arch
#

Jut believe it then lol

lusty grotto
#

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

abstract arch
#

Same with AA lashers

#

Well not reset, but you stop taking them

lusty grotto
#

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

cobalt jewel
#

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

Is adding even more addon to the game really going to help ? Like don't I already have debuffs showing by default ?

I'm not trying to argue, i'm genuinely asking

lusty grotto
#

you dont have DBM or Bigwigs?

Well you said bigwigs or something was a debuff tracking addon right ?

#

I have dmb yeah

#

Not bw

lusty grotto

i said "or"

not both

#

they serve the same purpose

ivory barn

Dbm can do it too

solid sun
#

Is there background info

ivory barn
#

Just preference

lusty grotto
#

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

You want it as close to 100% as possible, but realistically 95% is the number to aim for

when combined you will usually have 20+ seconds left when a pack dies

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

stiff inlet
#

and the 80 were the amount of hits i took without SB UP

#

got it

vital stirrup
#

gonna keep an eye on that

lusty grotto
#

we're only checking for back hits here

ivory barn
#

SB could be up, you got clipped in the back

lusty grotto
#

^

#

SB IS up

#

thats why we clicked it to be green

stiff inlet
#

i ment when SB has the red outline in the log

#

that we just checked

lusty grotto
#

disregard that

dusky canopy
#

Green = who knows
Red = who knows

lusty grotto
#

i just check for back hits differently, but this way is quicker

#

trying ghash's method

dusky canopy
#

Green box is quickest I would agree

lusty grotto
#

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?

#

Can raider io upload logs?

lusty grotto
#

upload no

#

but it can record logs

#

uploading is only done with the WCL Uploader

ivory barn
#

Ah, ok I was gonna start logging my keys

tribal wharf
#

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

ivory barn
#

It's through archon app now?

tribal wharf
#

i use curseforge for that

#

as curseforge runs from the same exe that outplayed does

#

overwolf

lusty grotto
#

you can install the barebones WCL Uploader

tribal wharf
#

WCLU is a standalone

lusty grotto
#

thats what i use

ivory barn
#

I need to go refind that

lusty grotto
#

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

you cant easily get a haste shield on mythic

#

thats part of it

lusty grotto
#

no

and if you are a smith yourself, and you put points into relevant peices will be repair all slots for free

lusty grotto
#

disregard everything above this message

tribal wharf
#

after some amount of weeks

coarse stump
#

ok so bis gear is just cloak + bracers, if i hasve myth wpn/shield

lusty grotto
#

bis depends on sims

#

but

#

those are good embelish slots

harsh trellis
lusty grotto
#

if thats what you were trying to say

mighty valley
#

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

coarse stump
#

i just wanna do 2 bis crafts, dont care for a weapon, its just a alt

mighty valley
#

then yeah just do two embellishes

lusty grotto

if you dont care too much then yeah go for bracers and cloak

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?

lusty grotto

there's no guidance because it depends on what you have

prime plover
#

Yea thats what I though

#

Just checking if there was a catch all

lusty grotto

droptimizer is usually best unless you want defensive (there's only 1) options

hardy snow
#

what affects vaelgor circle after beam that Im tanking so it's smaller or bigger?

hardy snow
#

why its different despite me and other tank have 8 stacks but sometimes its small, sometimes big

lusty grotto
#

small stacks bigger strong pull, more stacks smaller weaker pull

#

no idea

undone beacon
#

No raidbots premium so i gotta sim each dungeon individually sadgers

lusty grotto
#

i think stacks are just pull strength

#

so on size, thats the only thing i can think of

undone beacon
#

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

hardy snow
undone beacon
#

Tank beam reduces strength of the pull

#

Different sizes or different pull strength?

hardy snow
#

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

undone beacon
#

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

trail forge
#

Does Spell Reflect work on Mythic Paladins tankbusters the same as Heroic?

lusty grotto

especially the one worgen hunter that just jumps around like an idiot

Its player accurate

lusty grotto

i swear hes even stupider than most players

stoic hound

but without followers I

#

am I forced to run it normal and kill mobs on my own?

lusty grotto
#

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

undone beacon
#

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

stoic hound
#

also do you prefer skip the miniboss on the last pull on the way to last boss or take it?

paper coral
#

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.

You send demolish essentially on CD, preferably with 10 stacks of Colossal Might

Esp after tomorrow, it’ll be up a lot

paper coral

I forget what that change does.

CDR from getting a might stack while at 10 is now 5 seconds, up from 2 seconds

well i guess its small nerfs yea

frosty mango
#

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

lusty grotto
#

its in the latest archi post

#

in there

frosty mango
#

All I know

#

Is more demolish = more fun

tribal wharf
#

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

paper coral
frosty mango
#

If colossus was 5% more dps and 50% less health, if it was enough for you to stay alive everyone would play colossus

mighty valley
lusty grotto
#

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

stoic hound
lusty grotto
#

gz

stoic hound
#

with standard

#

is that good ratio for us?

mighty valley
lusty grotto
#

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)

frosty mango
#

You could take a 10 minute break between each pack while waiting for cds and do 200k overall on the in game meter

stoic hound
#

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 🙁

frosty mango
#

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

stoic hound
#

thank you, got it

lusty grotto
#

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

stoic hound
#

tank dps and ratio to 3 other dps

lusty grotto
#

no idea

#

logs are better like Roid said

#

people usually log, just look yourself up and see if someone uploaded it

stoic hound
#

yep I will log every run once i get my pc

lusty grotto
#

80k+ is more than fine for 15s

sweet summit

frosty mango

Does it burst like it did in tww?

frosty mango
#

Tomorrow it will be more valid!

frosty mango
sweet summit
#

hmm, i remember using demolish in keys in tww and dealing highest damage on that specific pull.

frosty mango
#

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

lofty warren
#

demolish was s2 tww

sweet summit
#

is it still like that?

lusty grotto
#

no

#

demolish does big damage but it was nerfed

#

its not bursty

#

revenge is your highest damage

mighty valley
#

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

lofty warren
#

demolish is still higher on priority then revenge

lusty grotto
#

midnight colossus is way more sustained aoe compared to tww colossus

sweet summit
#

So why are all the top players running thane instead of colossus?

#

is it more tanky

lofty warren
#

bc thane is better

frosty mango
lusty grotto
#

thane is more dps

mighty valley
#

demolish is higher priority than every other on-gcd button

lusty grotto
#

colossus even with the changes is still short a little bit in aoe

lofty warren
#

aoe stomp aoe stomp aoe stomp

lusty grotto
#

but honestly it doesnt really matter

sweet summit
#

its kinda sad that its like that

lusty grotto
#

not really

#

its close in dps

#

you can play whatever you want

sweet summit
#

i feel like colossus is all about big damage

mighty valley
#

most people would be better served playing thane even if colossus was slightly higher dps

shut summit
#

colossus is also just such a headache to gather mobs compared to pressing tclap every other gcd

frosty mango
lofty warren
#

terrible aoe threat no thanks id rather aoe stomp

lusty grotto
#

colossus is (right now) at -9.3% under thane in aoe, while on the patch it'll be at -3.5%

shut summit
#

of course, wouldn't change my opinion that it's a headache for the gather

frosty mango
lusty grotto
#

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

frosty mango
#

And moonfire+thrash is not enough

lusty grotto
#

theres a lot more problems in what youre describing than just class problems

#

if at all class problems

torn gulch
#

In pugs dps don't wait what am I supposed to do

frosty mango
#

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

torn gulch
#

Then why I don't have this problem on prot warrior and I have it on guardian druid

frosty mango
#

Couldn’t tell you

#

But what I can tell you is lots of people play Druid and don’t have that problem

torn gulch
#

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

solid sun
#

Usually with bear I don’t see an aggro problem unless dying immediately and then the group wiping counts keks

harsh trellis
#

Dreamgrove could probably help you out

frosty mango
#

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

solid sun
#

Pash isn’t a goblin either

#

It’s crazy how different they are now

urban bane
#

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

lusty grotto
#

sure but thats a whole different level than the rest of us will see

torn gulch
#

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

frosty mango
#

Im not saying that it doesn’t need help

torn gulch
#

it needed either a damage redistribution or a threat multiplier modification on thrash

frosty mango
#

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

torn gulch
#

oh i solved the issue imediately
by shelving it until next patch
