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?
its just 1/however many items are in the key/boss
and get better every time you dont get it right
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
oh boy im not looking forward to tomorrow
Okay cool AA it is 😂
i was just curious lol
probably close skyhold until late wednesday
I hear the AA shield has multistrike and armor pen

lol
"should i pick something here or go for bonus roll!? guys! GUYS!"
Dont worry if you close skyhold ill just dm you my sims
fuck, its gonna suck
at least you'll be simming
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
its common amongst my friends
at first i gave him benefit of the doubt
my first week tanking i had an aug rescue me into the next pack cuz i was pulling the heroic to slow... so i just stood there and he died
but he literally was rescuing me into tornados
and at final boss
into the ring
and stunned me
(windrunner sanctum)
maybe he was just trying to give you the DR
dont do that
A lot of newvokers don’t have a good handle on the rescue movement
tank it
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
You’ve triggered Nim’s tank ego trap card
it was 3 weeks ago and i didnt know my buttons (i still dont) but there was no reason to not just say something first
💯
Now he’s going to beat you up irl
So my "you pull it you tank it" philosophy isnt correct
youre expecting someone to type something than hitting one button?
your expectations are too high
i mean im expecting someone to chill for 30 seconds lol
why
it was a heroic lol
I mean it’s annoying when people pull shit but also you’re now wasting everyone’s time for someone being a dick so, ./shrug
People are the least chill in heroics
i was memeing i only do that to my friend key groups
you couldnt figure out your buttons in a dummy or a follower dungeon?
its not timed content, sure
but people arent there to look at each other either
i was mostly being sarcastic
I pull for my newbie tank friends when they go “idk a route just ping shit and chain for me” so I hit misdirect and throw bombs
it wasnt like we wernt pulling 2 or 3 groups at a time and i didnt know the dung as it was the first week of midnight
like i wont ever be cool with that behavior
Heart of the wind is the best mythic + trink right?
idk your personal feelings
tank ego
and thats fine do you lol
we can be
but also its the first week, is this your first time tanking?
it is
ok then now you know all we do first week is press W
shit doesnt matter
what do the mobs do? doesnt matter
what do my skills do? doesnt matter
lol
if youre gonna stand there as a tank for 30s looking at random shit, you bet your ass i will put you in
as a dps
or pull for you
im in the game to play not to afk
lol
Karmic Executioner is my band name
"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
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
ok are there any other defensives i need?
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
i was getting to that
Ah sorry
you need to maintain Shield Block all the time, always face your mobs because you cannot block from behind, taking a back hit can be lethal as a warrior
for ignore pain use read this: #protection message
did you read the icy veins guide?
start there
ive read some of it
these are very very basic questions that are probably gonna be answered there
and going over your skills, often reveals what you're asking
i'll read over it more
Bro that’s to personal gotta chill with that
its just a meme from a video i saw once long ago
and its words were harsh and it stuck with me
LOL
you know the real reason i dont want to get 3400?
grats on keystone hero tho yogi!
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
i very highly doubt it
never did 2500 till today
never did 3000
You can unbind shield block and get 3k you’ll be alright
yuh-huhu
okay, i'll await your video on that
i was considering to go for nexus and SR 10 tonight
but i can feel im nearing burn out
that damn buff from the balls is over powered
easily my favorite of the affixes
next week it comes around might be anothe good push week
You gotta get past the 10s and 11s my G
get to 12s its more relaxing
ooooh i can craft again
and yea, it isnt personal like the guy said
thats why there is no names in it besides my own fictional name
for 12s
im going to really have to make sure people arent dying
to things i can control
He said it's too personal, not that it isn't personal
might feel that way, but there was no personal information displayed
how much vers should i be aiming for if i wanna try and run higher keys as a new player?
0
Stats mean very very little to your success.
yeah it does not matter
all day?
like when does the server come up?
10-6 pm eastern downtime
lol
doing a breakfast with buddies at 7am beforehand
guess my lock gets a single 10 this week
just did my one 10 on the hunter for the week
bear tank was pulling single pulls and a dude straight up left
if I dont get a good myth item in my one slot, i will just take the reroll
I’m watching pikaboo do some 10s and it’s funny seeing all the situations that arise
Like right now a demon hunter in the group just disappeared no one knows where he is
Dh just left the group LOL
wanted a quick easy 10, grabbed a tank/healer that were 270 and their 245 dh friend 
was a lowkey slog but whatever
I need to do bullshit world events
or delves
so I can have three slots if my vault is bad and get rerolls
"no one gives a fuck about IO in this easy ass season" the leaver said
cuz he's sub 3k and leaves keys lmao
devourer dh btw
Friendly reminder to go to the gym!
kek
went this morning
Good man
its almost 10:30 i cant gym
Any time is gym time
come with me pash I'll spot you
my little twink arms
I mean, I about died doing 12.5 lb lat raises today; that's how weak I am
We all start somewhere right
BUT YOU'RE IN THERE
i understand i dont NEED stats, but im wondering what is recommende. is it actually the right thing to go 0 or is that a exaggeration? i was told that im suppoed to stack haste hard then vers
No, the 0 was intended to embellish the point that it doesn't matter how much vers you have.
stack ilvl and assuming equal ilvl stuff haste x whatever is your best bet
preferaly haste x crit tbh
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
do u get 1188 haste with or without flask ?
Considering the 1188 is a bare minimum, I would recommend getting it without the flask
Most people would prefer more than that for comfort
these are my current stats
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
how is colossus next patch looking ?
ye na ill definetly stick with heavy repercussions for now, not comfortable enough
only been playing this for a week or 2
so am i over statted into vers?
or is it fine
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.
Yeppers
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
pugging as dps is cancer
Your success is literally like 90% stats, 9.5% playing the correct talents, and maybe 0.5% stats
i mean ye ofc, im just trying to find out what dungeons i need to run for my gear
droptimizer
you like droptimizer now?
yes
It gives attack power and an increased chance to critically block via our mastery (which blocks twice as much damage). Just like any stat, you want some, but there's no reason to stack it.
(again, besides haste up to at least 1188; we do recommend that)
they were spreading misinformation
Do it bitch you won't
I always use droptimizer and not take three years like pash
if i dont go into the fray, is that number still important? obv still stack haste but do i need to reach that?
You need to reach 1188 to use ITF
Well, your goal should be to get enough haste to play Into the Fray because it's just stupidly better than Heavy Repercussions.
You can use HR afterwards but, ITF is better numbers with high haste
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.
is that rly gonna proc 8% tho when u got monkey dds in uganda?
It stacks via both friendlies and enemies
yeah its enemies and friends
xD
Other times it's like lolblizzardtooltip
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?
No
or only when my base is above 1188
no
no
Procs should never be considered, as they are temporary and unpredictable
if I got myth track ring that is ver/crit do u recommend crafting a ring that is haste/crit to reach 1188 ?
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
No, I'd use the myth track ring and get the haste elsewhere, even if I have to wait for it.
☝️
most of my gear is haste heavy so crafting a piece in those slot only give between 7-13haste
because theyre stuck on vanilla or other mmos
Like it isn’t a target
or classic idk
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
I know, just don't have an upgrade until weekly so just throwing what's on my mind
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
if you have champ gear, just get hero tracks with haste
im trying😭
ele shaman is recommended heavily to not get more than 1200mastery
ilvl is ilvl
Right, that's a good example
yes, but i needa drop smt for that in the first place xD
yes but where in all of skyhold does it say that you need to get x amount of stats?
or the guides
what
what does that mean
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.
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
MRT does it, and northern sky
to equip heroic gear i needa drop it first😆
And we do actually tell people to get 1188 haste, so there's that.
That isn't the point
It's an amount of stat that is relevant
Even if you did, would it matter?
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
I'm not doing any gymnastics so I'm not sure who you're talking about
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
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.
youre looking at this on a completely wrong angle
#protection message this question was not about haste
youre not new here
you know what they meant
do i need more crit? do i need more vers? do i need more mastery?
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
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.
I already responded to that question, which you can see right below that
read this #protection message
you weren't but Mandragoran was when he said this #protection message
or am i wrong here @fluid widget ?
Thanks for the link! I'll give it a go and see how it goes
Only in some of the keys
some higher keys like npx Ill take 4/4
but yeah I am with you on the 1/4 thing
i keep seeing videos about stance dancing in keys.... should i really be doing that over staying in defensive?
stay defensive
no need to stance dance anymore
never
cool thanks i just saw a few videos and i was thinking to myself no way
how old are these videos
do you have a link to the videos
stick to these content creators
everyone else probably does not know what the shit they are talking about

Nope I was ranting about hyper fixation on specific stats

and critcake usually just repeats ad-nauseum "i just go what the sim tells me to go"
which is what we do as well
except for haste
Also switching to dwarf just to do this pull

lmao this dude runs 2/4 apex
the jokes write themselves
But why
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
not prot related but do yall know why I dont have the all dark skybox? I still have the beam in the sky. i completed LFR. do I have to finish campaign too?
there is a quest afterwards
favorite part about that vid nav linked is how the dude was getting hit in the back a bunch
doesn't even know how to properly do the pull
Naw I like the 1.4 buidls.. Im only making my way through 15s atm when I get higher I may go into the 4/4
I'm dying
I mean hes legit though
you can laugh and make fun all you want
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
hrm. i dont see it. maybe I need to have completed the campaign first
failed the iq test
1/4 apex is big damage loss though
LMFAO
but the rage gen is better
no its not
nav you gotta let plka know that you know better than he does man
Wat in the world
He can push higher with 1/4!!!!!!!!!!
the higher you go the more you see the 4/4 or the 2/4 builds
its weird that you feel you need to go through such lengths at 15s when i was doing those with a hero shield and a EA into BSV swap
hell i did a 17 with a EA into BSV swap
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
its giga placebo
the very definition of feelcraft
crazy
how'd you even do that???
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
There is no disagreeing though
no issues what so ever with threat
that apb guy is pretty legit, he's higher io that this "topicx" goof and he's all 4/4.
-15k dps isnt less threat?
HRM
It’s just a fact
idk man, cause i pulled like an idiot too
how is Colossus defensively compared to thane ?
its about the same
shoulda went 1/4 man
would've never died or something
would have never died even if i didnt die 
oh right I don't think you did
probably cuz you took 5% less damage from everything

All I know is when I tried 1/4 my damage was giga ass and I don’t say that lightly
Like I actually felt sloggier
Colossus gameplay is actually that slower compared to thane?
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
🤣

I've taken a chance on two different warrior tanks in 17s this past week
both had 1/4
they ate shit
link the logs
I ain't linking you shit
lol
Just watched a dude do a circus dumbbell press with a 273 lb dumbbell. I should be able to do that in like idk, 6 months you think?
Just one question? Never tried 1/4, why does people use it?
top people were doing it before they moved the 5% DR from 1/4 to 4/4
and these people haven't caught on yet
and like last week
But isnt it just worse?
copy pasting without context
same old tale
as any ridiculous builds in previous seasons
is anything in here grief or this fine overall?
April 10th is when plka made the switch
yes indom
use the icy veins builds
thats it
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
and realized that nope
not even in nexus
discord Prot FAQ build is the build from icy veins? Havent checked icy veins
we dont support wowhead anymore, Nome retired
and someone else is filling in
so there can be some things in it that we cant really recommend, and/or hes not available to answer
so for now we stick with Icy Veins, Fury and Arms are fine with wowhead as Archi does both that and IV
i just had the coolest run on this season, timed the key with 2 sec left xD
choose your fighter
so if im copying icy veins but i wanna keep BSV and im taking out my point from indom do i put it in bloodborne or into enduring alacrity
up to you, i personally swap EA with BSV
but bloodborne into BSV is also fine
correct me if im wrong: bloodborne is just more dmg/threat right?
4/4 dropping punish is my new favorite, plays like 1/4 but got a close dps to regular 4/4
dropping punish is
ridiculous
to not be as toxic as I would like to be
and my anger
its better than 1/4
free DR on prio targets... and youre dropping it
anything is better than 1/4
fuck it im not gonna take the bait, im going to sleep
i don't feel like the dr on prio targets means much to prot wars right now
Is there any Dungeon we prefer to use the new Bonus Roll?
finally fixed my crown 
seat, maybe
lots of good stuff in therer
u trade the punish dr for the phalanx dr
WHY NOT BOTH
For example If I havent got shild+weapon from vault
cuz playing with indom, tan, and last stand is smooth
what keys are you doing?
why do you think you need last stand?
you're a brick wall
Why do you need last stand oO
I honestly hate that Blizzard did that to Last Stand. Like it was a fairly mediocre button, but at least it didn't encourage poor Shield Wall usage.
only appropriate last stand is base with bolster as a talent
GOATED
Before I
, an apparently little known fact: DR becomes multiplicatively more powerful as key levels increase, healing and leech stay the same

do u guys pug kjeys]?
#puglife
i value the defensive part a lot cuz with pugs it's always uncertain whats going to happen
Same
Any tips on AA first pull on +14
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
You will usually die if you wait for 6 stacks
a +10
gotta have bl, not negoitable
i left
least they gave you the reason
Twice ive been invited to 16s and insta booted for not being lust

what do you normally play?
My progression character is a shadow priest this season, so I've been pushing harder on that than the warrior
My friend swapped to shadow for raid this season
he likes it
is shadow strong for multi target?
Its a ton of fun, and this raid has a lot of great fights for shadow. Its just harder getting into higher keys
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
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 kind of servers though
Mixed windows linux environment
Gross
yeah
I work in medical so a lot of our shit is like that. Its a pain in the ass
Most of the windows things I have are auto auto short of some dcs I dont want to automatically install patches on but iiwii
Luckily it isnt my job to patch/update the servers, just to make sure they have security tools installed
We've got such an ecclectic mix lol
SentinelOne is alright, i worked for a company that resold them
ok @dusky canopy am I arms approved
not top dam, declined from the next 10 keys sorry bud
but you will have great prosperity applying to key 11
We get into a group with an aug, an rhsam, a brewmaster, and ill come on spriest so we can PI you
Parse key
Anyone wanna look at my log for a 17 i did earlier in the week, run was smooth but i'm currently bored and frustrated at the attempts for other 17's being bricked due to last boss shenanigans https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/3hvPctq6B9xAnHFk?fight=4&type=summary
#1347646810457636974 - post it there
smh playing brewmaster
bruh
what was that Mwahi
LF IP and SB Treckers that dont look like poopoo, preferably with Arcui. Pls ?
cooldown manager, ingame
Did i mention the no poopoo looking stuff
Maybe its just me, but having to squint to see the %y IP is at ain't fun
i dunno who it was
some kind group who invited me
as arms
then let me press dps buttons
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.
@drowsy comet it was this.
Ohh
I can, however, hinder my group by existing
cant wait for the wave of people asking "what hero talent we playing" 
I have a nasty joke, but im too lazy to say it

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?
Whats the differnts between mt and Colossus in m+? Is it only damage or also defensives? Would like to pick colossus for the knowup
It's mostly the ease of picking up packs as MT compared to Colossus.
yeah, Colosus sucks at pulling without thunderous roar
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.
I'll definitely try colossus. I'm bored with thane rn.
one more fun part of colossus is you can't move when you cast demolish, and sometimes that can lead to your death
Lol
It's the price you pay for clicking Demolish.
1st pull of academy with all the shit on ground
Only running like+16 and always got a BM Hunter with me who could use missdirect most like every pull. Sounds good to me to go Colossus again
Time to try coll on our first mythic paladin pulls and grief my raid
Do crits of SS give double the cdr? (They give 2 stacks of collossus might)
They do
Oh my gawd, 10 sec off demolish for a SS crit
I have about 40% crit chance with SS

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.
Wowhead says cannot be reflected, but it definetly can.
Not a bug, just how it functions
Never trust wowhead
Their talentcalc for exampel still shows midnight beta talents
(Ye I meant his wowhead reffrence)
ye I misunderstood^
👍
Thorem where is that from ? Does that mean spell reflect blocks the physical ?
yes first checkmark is for SR, second is for SB
Got me thinking.. I knew about vanguards spell reflect, is it possible to do a double Prot Warrior no taunt spell reflect run on the vanguards ?
yes
You just made my day
The Colossus Up looks good
Practiced Strikes now increases Shield Slam damage by 15% and Revenge and Thunder Clap damage by 15%.
dayum
Jep.
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
Could you share your Talent build and some logs (logs include talents)
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.
if you can share your toon name someone else may have this logged
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🥲
so you cant be the only person doing all of the balls on the boss in MT
so if your group is missing some and its getting to the boss
thats on the group
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
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.
I start on mid wall, and for refuiling I get to one of the rooms usually, dropping both soaks on the way, close to the wall
ok so if you get to one of the rooms the orbs will still come to the boss from all angles
Ok so thats one of my mistakes
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.
I see, so Will try as you do. Thx you very much for help
@harsh trellis did u try the AA thing?
I didnt get a chance to last night, had to run guildies through to get their 10s
I did try the skyreach thing
Yikes 
For the dot?
the only small pull I do in skyreach is the 3 at the top after the first boss
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
I dont get why the dot in skyreach has to be magic aswell
How do i learn routes best?
look at keystone guru also can look at raider io for some
press w
Sure was
Anyone know how the route assist Will work in 12.0.5?
thx
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
Awesome
youll get more comfortable with the routes
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 ^^
That is the pug life way
The best way to pug, is not to pug
if dps is cranking and the healer is cool, you can pull more
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
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
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
this season is basically the intro drug for M+ for everyone
this has been a very easy season so far
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
cant wait for murder row to be on the menu at some point lol
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
Its just about reps, so you might take a while but then it becomes like second nature
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 🙂
Was doing so, untill 12s-13s, but Im having really bad luck on groups, its a pain and a bit frustrating. I rather having a team where we know each other how we play so we can go ahead togheter, Im sentimental xD
thats so cursed
wut?
coffee disgusting
Yeah, Still not making any sense.
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.
No
FUCK

make sure to go 1/4 apex as col for maximum results
do I believe that hunter... 
nope
bro still waiting for anyone to show up xd
am i doing something wrong or are there many gaps in rotation when SS and TC are on cd and you have nothing to press outside of spenders?
never
Usually you'll get some revenge procs which fills in the time. And as long as you hit ip at 70% it should not feel like you have that much downtime
Toss in some executes sub 20
I have a question, why do I get too much damage in skyreach? mobs deal huge damage there in +6
Bleeds
oh
i see more and more 3400 io prot warriors rolling 1/4 apex
how can I stop them
Stun the group and step back a yard.
aha ty ty
so stun and stun
rinse and repeat
The bleed falls off pretty quickly
mmm I see ty
Im on my phone let me try to get the logs on my pc
if burst of power proccs, should my 3 next globals be SS?
is our apex not that good?
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
elaborate
What else is there to say
We don’t recommend copying raider io talent builds or aggregate sites
What key level are you doing
So if you’re dying in a +6 that speaks to a gameplay issue as opposed to a talent issue, no offense intended
In skyreach there’s a mob that stacks a dot on you
That is pretty rough
Are you keeping tabs on that and resetting them?
how long do their bleed last
Youre also wasting rage mashing ip
Use ip as a rage dump when your bar reaches 70
hit shield block
ok Its my skill issue
You’re running ITF. Are you at 1188 haste?
my stats are this
Oh yeah your haste is way too low
no no I'm not running itf
Are you not running that talent build you posted?
You probably can't even keep 100% uptime with HR with that low Haste
noo my talents are from icyveins
Good
my talents are this
probably..
yeah its hard to keep it
am I cooked
ITF is a must for you dude
he's at 13% haste
ITF is worse the lower your haste is
What
Anything under 1188 haste Heavy Repercussions is better for Block uptime
my rings were mastery crit etc.
you use ITF at high haste, not low
Why are you buying rings my dude... Just run keys get crit haste rings
I will ofc, but need to fix that problem
Thst should be your biggest focus right now is SBlock uptime and Ipain at 70 rage
You can run dungeons with your stats. Be conscientious of your effective sb uptime
okok ty
its hard to keep SB up
literally wears off at the moment I press once more
I see
Hut once and use shield charge to assist uptime when needed is what I do
aight I will try thank you guys
Put the in game bars on
It will track that stuff for you
Game enhancements and I forget where the rest is
Yea i put it right next to my character lol can't miss it

lmao, imagine using verbal warnings. My warning when I dont have SB up and I take a auto is that a latina mom comes and slaps me across the head with a slipper
I prob have brain damage now, but at least SB uptime is insanely high
I use it for a bunch of CDs 🤷♂️, on all my characters it helps me, not for everyone
verbal warnings are insanely strong
but i mostly use them for boss mechs
like a 'run away little girl' or 'Rally'
Everytime sudden death procs I get a verbal warning
I use those also lol, dbm jist yelling feet at me is my personal favorite
During archers in WR
especially in a game like wow where there are so many visual inputs; the more stuff you can make verbal helps eleviate that load
I’ll eleviate your load
😳 😅

Brother
But an in combat audio warning when sb is off is really helpful
i do have an sb buff icon that is pretty big but if it drops in the heat of the moment you might not notice
especially once you get to the point where you switch to itf
and it's not that forgiving anymore
can the CDM manager show you when a buff is not up?
very cool
Did one dung as itf yesterday and realized my rotation/skill is not quite there yet😅
Ill check it out
doing my best to use as few add-ons as possible
there are quite some audio files to choose from
The advanced cooldown manager is pretty thorough
you don't need much more imo
well yeah but that's cosmetic
the fact that you cant center it without a add-on annoys me
you can center it

or do you mean center on any number of buffs
I wanted the icons centered
when I first used the CDM, the icons would go from left to right
so the bottom row would always have like 3 buttons on the left and none on the right
and it would look terrible
Well move the bottom row to the right then

or use less columns
nevertheless... huge day for the bois
first reroll
and Mythic Chim is huge value for me
100% guaranteed a upgade
I need chest+trink+boots
i need tomorrow
Im really hoping to pull a vault gaze and then I can start putting rolls into Xenas
our reset is in 15 hours
why Xenas?
the neck?
probably rings
ooooo
Rings
Plus on my priest there’s also pants and gloves out of there they are good
I did zero dungeons my vault is empty
Oh pffft nah Salhadaar ain’t got shit
And I didn’t do the last weekly quest in the void zone
Too much plumbing this week?
Too much pirating
dude what?
Chim on priest is 50/50 on hits to duds. Getting gaze or boots would be great, getting chest or offhand would be sadge
Windrose looks fun
I’ve been on the tomadachi life hype train tho, that game is so amusing
well i need to get a myth group for chim first
I bought a new computer on Friday and they gave me a free copy of Crimson Desert
so I gotta try that
I heard its a decent game
Plus I lost most of my motivation when pash started asking other people to push for 1%
I thought I was Pash’s main squeeze. Their bottom bitch. Their numero uno
I dont even know if there is a place for ITF in higher keys atm
Its only a 4,5% dmg loss for me not running it and dropping SB sometimes can litterally kill you
hm i see
Shhhh if I get my 16 resil it’s easy ups to get your 16 resil, we gotta leapfrog it to stay on the curve
I ran HR the entire last season of TWW and don’t miss ITF, but I’m not a template for others
For playing colossus the dmg loss seems to be even smaller
I’m not aligned with some of my mates on the colossus hype train
I actually love the hero tree
But I don’t love gathering as colossus
Although sometimes when someone can’t help themselves and pops off and dies it’s a little funny
That's the response to colossus boiz
But people be yapping
just make it clap
Okay you secure 16s and I’ll secure 17s
Literally
Charge > Clap > Revenge is how i started pulling as colossus
So I hit the other packs with revenge
getting 3k will be easier with more gear right?
Worked fine so far
Yes but it’s beans. Especially larger pulls
the rating is not dependant on overall people's progress
Very annoying
just the x% feats
3k is relatively tame so if you’re struggling now more gear isn’t gonna help, unless you’re like 220 or something
Tbh the only thing i'm struggling with is time to run them
I ran like 2 sub 10s this season
and the rest was 11 or 10
but i only filled one vault yet, so i think 10-12 10-11 keys in total
I did about 105 keys on my pwar
And then maybe another 40 on my bdk and another 40 on my gdruid
How are we feeling about execute? Is it a button worth hitting at all or should I just be pooling rage for revenges and IPs
jesus
You hit in in ST as Thane when SS and TC are on CD and thats about it
Thats because the 10-12 range right now especially is full of vault key shitters, and at that range ilvl really doesnt matter. I've taken 275 people in vault key pugs that do less than my 260 hunter
Yeah
Esp with delves, when you get to level 9 delves tank gearing is turbo free
