npx shield just has slightly better stats, same stats as imperator's and belo'ren's

mystic cave

Maybe itll just drop in raid this week

#

mmm but has someone calculated the odds that which bonus roll gives the best chance of giving you a shield?

mystic cave
#

its just 1/however many items are in the key/boss

#

and get better every time you dont get it right

undone beacon
#

Run Droptimizer for the dungeons, figure out ratio of hits to duds, party hard

#

MT/NPX prob give best odds but I’m not at pc to verify

Don’t… do that

how often do healers encounter dps that try and grief and kill the healer in a dungeon... just encountered an aug evoker in leveling dungeon who kept trying to kill me rescuing me into bad things.. is this common? I never even knew this was going on O_O

mystic cave
#

its common amongst my friends

toxic pewter
#

i see

#

very strange

lusty grotto
#

an evoker?

#

you do know

#

that rescue puts a DR on you, right?

toxic pewter
#

at first i gave him benefit of the doubt

toxic pewter
#

but he literally was rescuing me into tornados

#

and at final boss

#

into the ring

#

and stunned me

#

(windrunner sanctum)

lusty grotto
#

maybe he was just trying to give you the DR

toxic pewter
#

hmm

#

yeah fair enough I suppose

undone beacon
#

A lot of newvokers don’t have a good handle on the rescue movement

lusty grotto
#

tank it

toxic pewter
#

yeah I guess maybe he was just learning the ability

#

maybe i just interpreted the situation poorly...

might be better he is learning it in leveling dungeons than in keys tbf

your expectations are too high

"Dear Yogi; I just want to let you know that you got to be the stupidest idiot I've ever seen, trying to play as a protection warrior, you are the epitome of scum inside of a pond filled with goldfish with no fins so the fish all sink to the bottom, so I hope you uninstall the game and never tank again and get the fate you deserve, you are the worst thing to happen to World of Warcraft ever. I seriously hope you really do go all in so that the rest of us can watch a live failure of a human being. Good Luck."

what are the main defensives as prot? i literally just made the toon trying to figure things out

lusty grotto
#

shield wall

#

on a short cd and for magic only: spell reflection

#

and demoralizing shout, but we often use this one for dps as we perma-talent Booming Voice

stray vault
#

ok are there any other defensives i need?

lusty grotto
#

those are the ones you can press, the rest are passive: Punish, Keep your Feet on the Ground (if thane) or Mountain of Muscles and Scars (if colossus), Phalanx 4 (last apex point) - anything that says damage reduction

#

and of course defensive stance, which you should be on always as a new player

you know the real reason i dont want to get 3400?

toxic pewter

grats on keystone hero tho yogi!

tribal wharf
#

i dont want to put 3400 hours into learning how to do it

i just want to play the game at a level that challenges me, and thats it

and maybe 3k, i dont know

never did 3000

You can unbind shield block and get 3k you’ll be alright

warm plinth
#

We all start somewhere right

daring marlin
#

BUT YOU'RE IN THERE

glacial stratus
warm plinth
#

No, the 0 was intended to embellish the point that it doesn't matter how much vers you have.

daring marlin
#

preferaly haste x crit tbh

warm plinth
#

You want haste to at least 1188 but that's more to enable a talent option than a requirement to play the spec. You can definitely do high keys with less than that; you just have to play Heavy Repercussions instead of Into the Fray.

#

Anyone who says you have to stack any stat is just flat out wrong

shadow sequoia
#

do u get 1188 haste with or without flask ?

warm plinth
#

Considering the 1188 is a bare minimum, I would recommend getting it without the flask

#

Most people would prefer more than that for comfort

glacial stratus
#

these are my current stats

warm plinth
#

If you're really comfortable managing Shield Block at 1188 with Into the Fray, then you can consider the flask in the calculation. But you need to manage SB very well in that case.

#

Those stats are perfectly fine (spoiler alert though: I would've said that no matter what they were)

#

You do want to play Heavy Repercussions with that much haste though

shadow sequoia
#

how is colossus next patch looking ?

warm plinth
#

Pretty much even with Thane

#

You can play either

glacial stratus
#

only been playing this for a week or 2

glacial stratus
#

or is it fine

warm plinth
#

It's fine

#

Any amount would be fine. If you actually did have 0 vers, I would say you probably want some, but that's only because having literally 0 of any stat is suboptimal.

shadow sequoia
#

if u are playing a tank always ilvl > everything else

#

whatever tank spec u play

warm plinth
#

Yeppers

glacial stratus
#

what is the value of mastery btw? i see a lot of people going different stuff for it, i see wowhead going what i feel like quite a bit of mastery even tho they say its low prio, then i see other people paly very little so im confused

daring marlin
#

pugging as dps is cancer

warm plinth
#

Your success is literally like 90% stats, 9.5% playing the correct talents, and maybe 0.5% stats

droptimizer

daring marlin
lusty grotto
#

yes

daring marlin
#

thought you said IT WAS NO GOOD NOW

#

you a big fat liar bro?

#

rat?

warm plinth
#

(again, besides haste up to at least 1188; we do recommend that)

daring marlin
#

imma stack mastery with puzzlebox

#

Do it bitch you won't

daring marlin
#

I always use droptimizer and not take three years like pash

Sadgers

glacial stratus
undone beacon
#

You need to reach 1188 to use ITF

warm plinth
#

Well, your goal should be to get enough haste to play Into the Fray because it's just stupidly better than Heavy Repercussions.

undone beacon
#

You can use HR afterwards but, ITF is better numbers with high haste

warm plinth
#

8% haste by itself is just insane value for a single talent point, but it's also a multiplicative increase, so it ends up being more than 8%.

#

The reason you need 1188 haste to use it is because if you don't have at least that amount, you will end up with gaps in SB uptime.

glacial stratus
warm plinth
#

It stacks via both friendlies and enemies

glacial stratus
#

oh shit

#

wait

undone beacon
#

yeah its enemies and friends

glacial stratus
#

oh damn

reading is actually op xD

undone beacon
#

reading the tooltip explains the tooltip peepo

#

sometimes at least

glacial stratus
#

xD

warm plinth
#

Other times it's like lolblizzardtooltip

glacial stratus
#

so i have 962 haste base but i play heart of the wind currently so im getting + 264 haste from that which puts me above the threshhold

#

so i can play it?

warm plinth
#

No

glacial stratus
#

or only when my base is above 1188

lusty grotto
#

no

lusty grotto
warm plinth
#

Procs should never be considered, as they are temporary and unpredictable

shadow sequoia
#

if I got myth track ring that is ver/crit do u recommend crafting a ring that is haste/crit to reach 1188 ?

lusty grotto
#

stop focusing on stats @glacial stratus

#

and gear ilvl

#

youre stepping way over what you need to do

#

cross that bridge when you get there

#

and play HR

#

i still am

warm plinth
#

No, I'd use the myth track ring and get the haste elsewhere, even if I have to wait for it.

lusty grotto
#

☝️

shadow sequoia
#

most of my gear is haste heavy so crafting a piece in those slot only give between 7-13haste

lusty grotto
#

you dont equip haste shit over ilvl

#

ilvl >>>>> all

#

Why do folks target stats

#

I don’t get it

lusty grotto
#

because theyre stuck on vanilla or other mmos

fluid widget

Like it isn’t a target

lusty grotto
#

or classic idk

glacial stratus
# lusty grotto ilvl >>>>> all

i mean i am doing this, im not taking lower lvl ilvl ever, but i still have champ gear that i wanna get rid of thats why im asking these questions

shadow sequoia
#

I know, just don't have an upgrade until weekly so just throwing what's on my mind

warm plinth
#

Well, to be fair, on some specs there actually are really important breakpoints you want to reach or avoid going over (or at least, there have been historically; I don't know if that's the case right now)

#

So it's natural for people to assume that other specs might have those

lusty grotto
glacial stratus
lusty grotto
#

it can't be any more simple than that

#

even if it does not have haste

shadow sequoia
lusty grotto
#

ilvl is ilvl

warm plinth
#

Right, that's a good example

glacial stratus
#

yes, but i needa drop smt for that in the first place xD

lusty grotto
#

yes but where in all of skyhold does it say that you need to get x amount of stats?

#

or the guides

lusty grotto
#

what does that mean

warm plinth
#

It doesn't; I'm just saying it's logical for people to approach a new spec at least temporarily from the perspective of a spec they've already played.

oak ivy
#

for the life of me i cannot remember what is the addon that shows boss ability timers for heroic/mythic and lets you drop in reminders for your own abilities

#

looks similar to liquid timeline

lusty grotto
#

MRT does it, and northern sky

glacial stratus
warm plinth
#

And we do actually tell people to get 1188 haste, so there's that.

lusty grotto
#

...

#

do i need to edit the pin with a big header that says "YOU DO NOT STOP HERE"

warm plinth
#

That isn't the point

lusty grotto
warm plinth
#

It's an amount of stat that is relevant

frosty mango
lusty grotto
#

i think we're doing some mental gymnastics on a very specific question

#

which was "why do folks target stats"

#

as sort of a rant

#

which i can certainly subscribe to

warm plinth
#

I'm not doing any gymnastics so I'm not sure who you're talking about

shadow sequoia
#

I think most beginners just want solid goal to target and for experienced players that are just trying to get a tiny bit better by throwing their ideas and see what other people who are in the same place see from their point of view

lusty grotto
#

well the goal is ilvl

#

thats it

warm plinth
#

He asked why folks target stats; I responded with a reason why they might. And we do encourage people to target haste in this discord regularly, regardless of whether the amount is a specific amount you go to and then stop, it's still something you target.

#

Anyway, I'm not really interested in arguing about it. I was just responding to a question. I'm happy to drop it here.

lusty grotto
#

youre looking at this on a completely wrong angle

#

youre not new here

#

you know what they meant

#

do i need more crit? do i need more vers? do i need more mastery?

sullen gust
#

I have a quick question. Do you guys doing higher keys take the apex talent? I've only been taking 1 point atm because the other option just feel better. Curious if theres more power or survivability in the apex im overlooking

warm plinth
#

I literally was not remotely responding to that question anymore.

#

The conversation had moved way beyond that. I wasn't even talking to that person.

But why

daring marlin

being suboptimal is fun

#

today I learned

toxic pewter
#

The amount of dps u lose alone ends up making you take more damage cuz stuff die slow

#

Like why even take the 1 point apex you clearly don’t care about damage lol phalanx doesn’t even do much damage itself

#

Might as well go 0/4 apex

i just ran 2 keys with indom to see what the fuzz is about and here are my takes:

  • Midnight slowed down rage gen
  • Indom was buffed halfway between TWW and DF indom as a result
  • zero sum, to be as good as TWW indom (which was bad)

its dogshit, and the only dungeon i would ever remotely consider picking it on is NPX

how'd you even do that???

toxic pewter

I’m not parroting shit it’s simple fact when you reduce your dps by 15-20k shit dies slower and take perhaps an incalculable amount of more damage

and less threat

Colossus gameplay is actually that slower compared to thane?

lusty grotto
#

you dont have to post the question twice

#

we saw it the first time

its only slower because youre weaving less IP ogcds (but this can zero sum with colossus haste buff)

but gcd to gcd, colossus can be faster after a demolish due to haste buff

oh jk that was in Nexus, he did 4/4 in magisters 17

so he thought HEY MAYBE EVEN IN NEXUS 1/4 COULD BE

not even in nexus

we dont support wowhead anymore, Nome retired

if you are having issues on the first pull you can split it up

#

if you are having trouble with the bleed, you can try to reset it with leap but before the stacks fo too high, like 3 stacks.
i usually try to leap out with 6 stacks and it's a pain, because now you are not leeching that much, not generating rage, and the bleed kills even with you very far from the mobs.
if you leap out with like 3 stacks it's way easier to live. then just kite a lot.

you can also macro a skull marker and put it on lasher, if the group focus it and kill it, the bleed will not stack to max stacks.

#

playing bloodborne helps a lot with healing on this pull

My progression character is a shadow priest this season, so I've been pushing harder on that than the warrior

harsh trellis

My friend swapped to shadow for raid this season

he likes it

#

is shadow strong for multi target?

undone beacon

Its a ton of fun, and this raid has a lot of great fights for shadow. Its just harder getting into higher keys

harsh trellis
#

I never play casters so I dont know

single mindset. I just level up warriors and tanks

Shadow excels in 6-12 target pulls, and fights with consistent spread cleave

harsh trellis
#

ohhhhhh

#

maybe I will start dragging him into keys then

undone beacon
#

Anything with regular intervals of more than 12 mobs, like first boss of AA, is a bit harder because your AoE is limited to how much shit you can dot, and Tentacle Slam dots up to 6 targets at a time

#

But thats not super common, so shadow is very slick

Plus it brings Fort and PI to keys

What to play in 12.0.5?

Single-Target: Colossus = Mountain Thane.
Mythic+: Mountain Thane.

We are in a great spot where both our Hero Talents are competitive in all scenarios.
Colossus can theoretically deal slightly more damage in ST if you go for an all out offensive build. If you play regular raid builds, Mountain Thane and Colossus are pretty much equal.
Mountain Thane on the other hand has a slight advantage in Mythic+. This advantage is mostly due to the ease of grouping packs.

Enjoy this scenario and play what you want, you will not be hindering your group by playing one or the other.

Ohh

Once you get the Alnsight buff from Gaze, is there a hard limit on how many stacks you can generate or is it just based on how many buttons you press?

Colossus is pretty fun in AoE right now tho.
You can get 20-25 second Demolishes if you constantly hit 3 targets and dump rage into Revenge.

So if you don't mind the grouping part, i would 100% advise you to try it.

PSA - the colossal strikes from the collosal horror can be spell reflected. At least on mythic raid difficulty.

Im assuming its a bug.. but spell reflect CD is short enough you can reflect every collosal strike cast.

Hello all, I come to you guys to swear for some kind of tip or advice since im starting to get burned of this to the point that im starting to think abour going dps spec or just go on with an alt.
Im having serious troubles ranking +13-14 MT and AA, specially on the robot Boss of MT. I use to tank It on walls and keep moving It around for soaks, but I keep diying on balls phase, also must say Im having bad luck on pugs groups but still I know im doing smth wrong, always balls get to the Boss and kill all of us. Didnt have such problem on lower Keys btw. I like to tank, but this IS starting to piss me off and always ppl blame at me even when i see IS their fault on soaking, but still I know im doing some mistake. Thx a lot in avance, regards

naive ravine
#

Could you share your Talent build and some logs (logs include talents)

fringe venture
#

Sadly I havent recorded any log. I havent played since wotlk and came back on midnight launch. I am 279 ilvl, almost bis stats and using standard talent tree, including 4/4 on Hero talenta. I know im not giving all info you would need.

harsh trellis
fringe venture
#

I see, krisinger IS the name, from sanguino realm. Thx a lot.
I really like the warrior class and its class fantasy, but IS frustrating that I cant go more far for now, as said, didnt have any problema pushing to +12, but +13 is being a wall🥲

harsh trellis
#

so if your group is missing some and its getting to the boss

#

thats on the group

fringe venture
# harsh trellis so you cant be the only person doing all of the balls on the boss in MT

I know we must share, ppl keep forgetting few of them and i run like unhead chicken to dont wipe. But I also want to know if pulli g Boss to the walls IS correct, i've got groups saying to me to tank on mid, also others to tank on walls, and im confussed, because untill +12 tanking It on walls was ok, but now I only get groups that die and blame at me

harsh trellis
#

if you put the boss on a wall during refuiling protocol the orbs will come towards him on the left and right

#

so depending on where you are dropping puddles it will make gathering the orbs a little more difficult from those angles.

fringe venture
harsh trellis
#

ok so if you get to one of the rooms the orbs will still come to the boss from all angles

fringe venture
#

Ok so thats one of my mistakes

harsh trellis
#

no

#

the group just needs to be better at getting orbs

#

I still like to put the boss on the wall for refuling protocol

#

then the orbs come out from the left and right and behind the group because he will spawn the orbs on the outside of the room and they wont get to him.

fringe venture
#

I see, so Will try as you do. Thx you very much for help

naive ravine

otherwise its all big pulls

I found some logs fron you @fringe venture im on phone rn so writing all the stuff would be tough for me, you could try and open a thread under #1347646810457636974 and link the log there

actually I just finished MT on 13, on a very clean run, doing slow pulls not big, and still we had almost 9 mins left, only 1 death on the team. I asked the guys about my tanking job and they said all was ok, only that I could have done biggest pulls, I explained them why I did not since I was having serious troubles on this dg and they understood, run was really clean and smooth, all did correct soaks on robot, I tanked it on walls and they congrated me for a good job tanking there. So I guess deffinetly it was getting bad groups + me getting nervious because of many wipes. Big thx to you all for helping this noob and old aged tank xD

harsh trellis
#

youll get more comfortable with the routes

fringe venture
#

I think im doing proper routes, maybe not optimized but yes ok and fasts, when I see the group is ok, I pull harder and when I see we are having troubles I think I know where to go lower for confort, this time we had very good dps and a really good heal, I could have done crazy pulls but didnt want. Finally a push on my tanking mood with this run, I am happy ^^

harsh trellis
#

That is the pug life way

naive ravine
#

The best way to pug, is not to pug

harsh trellis
#

if dps is cranking and the healer is cool, you can pull more

fringe venture
#

Yep I see xD but my guild is stuck on 10s, not because they cant, just because they dont want, I might have to look for another guild maybe, they dont do raids either and im a bit stuck aswel because going pugs

naive ravine
#

Tell your guild to do atleast 12s

#

They get more crests

harsh trellis
#

Maybe you dont need to look for another guild

#

maybe you can still be with your guild and encorage them to go into 12s

#

it gets way easier in 12s

#

no affix to worry about

fringe venture
#

They dont want, I have brought them for some 12s and they get mad on them, they enjoy more the confort of doing only 10s in chill way, they dont want to have brain mess going higher

harsh trellis
#

this season is basically the intro drug for M+ for everyone

#

this has been a very easy season so far

naive ravine

If they rly think 12 is difficult then its prob better to not do keys with them

If u want to improve and go higher

harsh trellis
#

cant wait for murder row to be on the menu at some point lol

fringe venture
#

Yea, many ppl told me, I guess thats they reason for me, being a return player after 15 years not playing, to be ok pushing 12s-13s and being able to tank, I guess in TWW i couldnt have done like this

harsh trellis
#

Sure you could

#

in tww it didnt really get crazy till 16s

naive ravine
#

Its just about reps, so you might take a while but then it becomes like second nature

harsh trellis
#

then it just gets silly towards the end

#

I liked the end of the season runs

fringe venture
#

Well then Im getting to the conclussion that maybe its time for me to switch guild to another one where ppl wants to go more ahead. BTW im @ home not working rn because of some back health problems and I have a lot of time to be on wow because of that, so its a good moment for me to look for a more competitive guild, not pretending to be top player, but yes to go ahead for higher keys and getting some kind of dificult, spamming 9s-10s gets boring as they are very easy

#

A big thx to you guys for your help and your attention, you are so glad 🙂

Do you know what my favorite thing to do in warcraft? I love bricking keys with brown dot. Bricking keys is the best thing and the most amount of fun you can have while playing a tank! I understand why all the kids like to play this game, it's because they like to brick keys with brown dot. I also like to brick keys with brown dot. Its the most fun you can possibly have.

solid sun

It’s fine

#

There’s no reason to talent 1/4

tardy prawn
solid sun
#

The 1/4 talent build loses like 15k dps and 5% dr and the defensive talents they pick up by going 1/4 you can talent while keeping 4/4 so there’s no point

tardy prawn

elaborate

solid sun
#

What else is there to say

tardy prawn

which ones I can drop to be more defensive

#

I mean they deal huge damage

#

the mobs

solid sun
#

We don’t recommend copying raider io talent builds or aggregate sites

#

What key level are you doing

tardy prawn
#

+6

solid sun

So if you’re dying in a +6 that speaks to a gameplay issue as opposed to a talent issue, no offense intended

tardy prawn

no I'm not dying

I take huge damage

In skyreach there’s a mob that stacks a dot on you
