protection

[stiff inlet]

or something else?

[sharp gale]

I will do a season with full mastery prot

[jagged pier]

nah

with rerolls

im opening as arms

cause ill get myth shield and wep with rerolls

[stiff inlet]

i got mine last week on rerolls so thats a good point

[jagged pier]

yer but u would at least have more haste

[lusty grotto]

I'm opening as prot

[stiff inlet]

but i dont need a 2h

[lusty grotto]

Cause I have myth 2h already

[sharp gale]

Yeah not this season tho bc my fury gear is too similar to my prot gear it’s not even mastery maxing

bc special jewelry

[fringe mural]

This is more like an exploit not a cool trick tbh

[tribal wharf]

well

i guess i get chest

[jagged pier]

oh god vault

time to go to the gym

[outer willow]

Either way I’m not dropping pools tho!

I like vault screenshots

[fringe mural]

should i roll as prot for the chance to get solar core igniter if i already have shield and 1h?

[tribal wharf]

im not super excited about the ring, or shield options

[severe star]

I just need a trinket

[outer willow]

You came to the right place

[sharp gale]

Im on multiple casual guild discords only to spy on their vaults

[fringe mural]

Today's the day i am envious of the us folks

because i need to wait until tomorrow for my vault

[daring urchin]

hey all, new to prot war, do we open on a different spec?

[fringe mural]

...again

[toxic pewter]

worst vault i think i ever got

[severe star]

I got an indestruible shield

[fringe mural]

only if you don't need defensive trinket, weapon or shield

[outer willow]

Nice

[sharp gale]

You already have the neck apb ?

[daring urchin]

tyty

[fringe mural]

Welcome to the club

[severe star]

but I already have a maxxed myth sheild

[toxic pewter]

no thats what i am gonna take not awful

do u think i take the extra bonus rolls over neck?

[sharp gale]

And no vault is awful since you can pick the gamble token

[fringe mural]

Well are you rich?

[toxic pewter]

would u take gamble token or that neck

[fringe mural]

because an indestructible shield is nice af

[sharp gale]

On what would use that token, if it’s to roll in pit… for the neck…

[fringe mural]

and upgrading it won't cost you anything anymore

[toxic pewter]

lol yah I will jsut take this neck

[sharp gale]

Or if you roll in pit for the ring, you might take the token

[toxic pewter]

I want a 1h weapon

[sharp gale]

Bc you will get the neck anyway

[stiff inlet]

So question, i keep seeing people talk about solarcore, it obv is a tank trinket but doesnt sim "as high" as others, is it just the best defensive alternative?

[fringe mural]

yeah

It's the best defensive trinket

And you can't sim for it

[stiff inlet]

which i get, ty i just wanted to verify the thought process

[sharp gale]

Dragons trinket is the only one better right? I’m using solar core when I tank bc I will never get the raid one

[severe star]

I trust the opinions

[sharp gale]

You can remove the belt from the table

It’s a hero item

[undone beacon]

if its a myth shield then its a no brainer regardless

[fringe mural]

in des tructible

Take it

[severe star]

sorry worded poorly

[undone beacon]

lmao huge poll gaming

[stiff inlet]

id drop to a hero shield for indestructible idc

[severe star]

I have my BIS sheild equiped

and I have a hero belt equiped

[fringe venture]

Then go for myth belt

[sharp gale]

What are the choices

[severe star]

myth belt or indestructible shield

[undone beacon]

For once I ask, post the vault

[sharp gale]

Myth belt or the token

[fringe venture]

Does the indestructible shield protect us from backshots? ENHANCE 🤣🤣
@lusty grotto

[heavy yoke]

hmm

heroic alnseer or myth heart

[undone beacon]

But honestly I’d say indestructible shield is much rarer than a belt

[undone beacon]

[ornate palm]

Mythic shield or mythic solar core igniter?

[solid sun]

Guys I’m going through an identity crisis

[sharp gale]

Do chimaerus before deciding

[undone beacon]

You are a rhino

[fringe venture]

Declare urself as therian

[solid sun]

This is my second week in a row without a vault

Idk who I am anymore

[drowsy comet]

Do you guys craft belt or go for a dungeon belt?

[undone beacon]

I’m gonna be the odd one out probably but an indestructible shield will save you so much gold, versus a myth belt you can roll in M+

[drowsy comet]

before nIm shows up pls gimme an answer hes gonna bully me again

[undone beacon]

[sharp gale]

Last week I did a bad move on my vault+ crests

[drowsy comet]

No u

[frosty mango]

We don’t need vaults now we got voidcores

[unreal hornet]

not too shabby all myth slots are upgrades
neck versa could be nice OR myth one hander (currently have 285 crafted weapon)
wonder what my sims are gonna say 🤔

[drowsy comet]

We do need Vaults, how else am I gonna get my Gaze

[outer willow]

So we get 2 more charges for rolls today right?

5k gold?

[fringe mural]

By going chimaerus

[sharp gale]

I bonus rolled in nexus point -> picked the boots over ring with avoidance, and I did the mistake to craft before reclear

[frosty mango]

The same way everyone else does.

Join a mythic pug, die 10 seconds in and parse a 0, then roll 100 on it when it drops

[drowsy comet]

tho on my warrior I got champ gaze last week

[fringe mural]

why not spend the useless veteran crests

[outer willow]

https://tenor.com/view/money-chapelle-gif-1290151835265735817

[drowsy comet]

im so trash i know, i need to grind more lmao

both champ

[opal ledge]

oh no that stupid box again

[drowsy comet]

[outer willow]

Please don’t do this

[ornate palm]

Why you gonna make me choose between shield and solar core?

[unreal hornet]

i ended up taking it and i hate it but its getting better with time LOL

[sharp gale]

My monk has better trinkets

[fringe mural]

I don't know where you guys pug chim mythic

My guild didn't even kill him yet

[drowsy comet]

monk stinks

[unreal hornet]

but im also swapping from either hero gaze or hero heart haha

[sharp gale]

And I will get gaze in my vault tomorrow

[drowsy comet]

hero gaze hero heart is all I want then Im happy lmao

[sharp gale]

I have hero heart and myth puzzle box

[drowsy comet]

if you get gaze in your vault imma stop bullying you for being french, I stand with my word

[sharp gale]

On the W monk

[unreal hornet]

LOL then the sims of myth box will eat away at your head hahahaha

[sharp gale]

1/12 chance it’s in my raid slot

[drowsy comet]

well, myth heart I can see myself getting. But idk about myth gaze, maybe maybe idk

[sharp gale]

I believe

[drowsy comet]

i did nothing on my pwarr this week cuz I was busy healing smh, will blow a couple of keys before EU reset then yea..going for HC raids tomorrow

[sharp gale]

I will do hc chima now just to have it in heroic

[solid sun]

You can get any m trinket you want if you set your mind to it

[fringe mural]

Will people take you myth chim if you have aotc achievement?

[drowsy comet]

does myth chim get any new moves btw?

[sharp gale]

You have raid separated in two bc touch = death

[cold pilot]

sheeeeeeesh

[sharp gale]

2 ppl job is to go on 2 marker when 2 ppl gets a circle

[cold pilot]

do i take hero neck or myth gloves

[sharp gale]

And intermission is where wipes happen

[fringe mural]

You take alleria neck

[undone beacon]

Touching people in the other phase kills both of you, rift madness needs people in the other realm to soak and save, half the raid is phased during intermission and has their own adds to kill, fears cast much faster

Awwwww yiss

[drowsy comet]

gz!

[undone beacon]

i am disgusted

[sharp gale]

It’s the same fight for the tank, you just stay on your side

[toxic pewter]

oh no lmao

[undone beacon]

i mean its huge for arms/fury so

[fringe mural]

i'm so happy for you pash

[young wasp]

Hey gang, does the reroll loot system work like --

If you have myth chest from vault, and you reroll on Chim, can you get the myth chest token?

I'm under the impression the reroll system doesn't give a shit what you have and will reward you whatever you get and each item is slashed off the loot table afterwards

[sharp gale]

And 4th add phase one of the tank sacrifices himself

[opal ledge]

we are in the same boat, i'm taking coins i guess

[undone beacon]

Vault doesnt count for rerolls, so yes

When you roll, that item is taken off the table. Thats the only way

[young wasp]

Gotcha. ty

[fringe mural]

rolling for chimaerus is not a huge deal though

3 weeks max

[young wasp]

yarp

[drowsy comet]

just more HP and damage ig, then maybe myth gaze is possible 🤔 4 myth bosses per week would be dope

[fringe mural]

It's just three items right?

[young wasp]

yeah

[sharp gale]

If you could do only 2, chima and imperator, you have more chance to have gaze in your vault

[unreal hornet]

https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/g5SdjT9FvLr4euXVARLLSu
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/dA7VuasNgnp476thLGccYg

damn not the hero neck simming better than all my myth items...

[undone beacon]

Why does this game keep giving me fucking cloaks bro

[sharp gale]

Saladbar is more gamble with pugs but it’s still simple

[fringe mural]

The problem is the loot will then be taken off the entire voidspire loot table

Plus chim

[sharp gale]

No it’s only bosses you already killed once

[fringe mural]

chim is basically the boss after alleria in that system

[fringe mural]

No it's not

[drowsy comet]

hows that?

[opal ledge]

i need a weapon, and there is a weapon in my vault...
but since i'm using rolls in terrace might be better to just get an extra roll

[unreal hornet]

Do i just take myth neck anyway

[sharp gale]

Im on alleria, its been 6 weeks i have raid myth vaults

[opal ledge]

this new roll thing makes thing so confusing

[drowsy comet]

do you only get loot in vault of the raid bosses you killed?

[young wasp]

your raid vault only offers loot from bosses you;ve killed once

[undone beacon]

At the beginning of the season killing Chim was unlocking all of voidspire for loot, they might have fixed that though

[sharp gale]

Only 2 bosses you unlocked the lootable on your vault

[young wasp]

once you kill it, it's always in the pool though

[drowsy comet]

per week?

[young wasp]

perma

[drowsy comet]

hm i see

[sharp gale]

Yes it’s permanent if you kill it once

[fringe mural]

erm

[drowsy comet]

hm I never did marsh on my pwarr, so that gives me better chances

[sharp gale]

You already killed myth bosses ?

[drowsy comet]

no

or wait, is it per difficulty or overall killed bosses?

[fringe mural]

well i got told this is how it works for all difficulty levels and tested it for lower difficulty

also blizzard states this is how it works

[sharp gale]

So you whatever 2 myth bosses you kill, they are the only ones that can drop in your first raid vault slot

[frosty mango]

big arms choice, help me brewjj

[pastel summit]

That boss and prior bosses iirc

so you could get like soulhunter boots if you only killed fract

[sharp gale]

Yeah prior but Chima is separated raid

[fringe mural]

Chima counts as voidcore tier but boss after alleria

[sharp gale]

And imperator is the first

[fringe mural]

I killed chima and imperator, nothing else ever

And got loot from dragons in vault

[sharp gale]

You got myth dragon gear ?

MYTH

[fringe mural]

is it different for myth?

[drowsy comet]

Ohh thats big then

[fringe mural]

where does it state that it's different for myth

[drowsy comet]

and I still got 2 rolls lol

[sharp gale]

You don’t get vault loot from bosses you didn’t kill

[velvet knot]

I GOT ANOTHER PUZZLEBOX

GIVE IT UP FOR 4TH MYTHIC PUZZLEBOXX

[dusky canopy]

[velvet knot]

@lusty grotto

[sharp gale]

If you got dragon heroic loot, it’s just bc you killed dragons in heroic and filled your second slot

[drowsy comet]

screw puzzle box

[velvet knot]

okay yso

do i take cloak

Or

Do i take tokens

and gamble for mainhand

pretty shit cloak too

[fringe mural]

you do

source is wowhead

[outer willow]

What’s that pretty purple gem.

[sharp gale]

Yes did you kill dragons in myth or bosses after ?

Which are : paladins and alleria myth

[fringe mural]

no, i killed imperator and chimaerus on a lower difficulty, and got loot in the vault from dragons

in my vault slot

i never killed dragons

ever

[sharp gale]

Bc you killed dragons heroic before

[fringe mural]

never

[pastel summit]

[fringe mural]

on any difficulty

[sharp gale]

Is it the same waste of time as last time where you got a raid item from a random box

[outer willow]

Love it

[dawn lintel]

ummmm, what should i use

[fringe mural]

careful now, i sent @solid sun the screens, he can confirm

[dawn lintel]

puzzle box and...?

[undone beacon]

[sharp gale]

You can send the screen

[fringe mural]

i was just mixing up quests

[dawn lintel]

heart of wind?

[frosty mango]

Did raidbots get upgraded? Or am I missing something with my sim? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/xyVhu1eL6EKMACvBRXw7VY

[fringe mural]

the assumption was still right, you could acquire heroic loot from a quest

[frosty mango]

I know its an arms sim, but the time it took to run the sim was 10 seconds, and there was no queue

[fringe mural]

from alleria

and it was not a tw quest

[sharp gale]

The assumption was you got the alleria from your vault without killing her

So your assumption was false

[outer willow]

Not even mad

[fringe mural]

no i never said it was from the vault, i thought it was from a delve, because i opened the chest in a delve

[glacial ridge]

Bonus Rolls fo all

[fringe mural]

i just forgot to open it after turning the quest in

[outer willow]

https://tenor.com/view/you-damn-right-gif-3600596184865745262

[fringe mural]

and opened it with all the other stuff at the end of the delve

the main assumption was you can get loot from any boss without killing it through another means

and this is true up to heroic

just not for myth

because you don't get a weekly quest that rewards a myth chest

during the dungeon event the weekly rewarded heroic gear, even from l'ura

for people who haven't seen her at all

the cache of quel'thalas treasures

[ivory barn]

Time to waste 2 more rolls in Nexus

[sharp gale]

i got one of the two rings

[dusky canopy]

I got ring and legs last week

Odds looking great today

Do I have to do 3 bosses again for the rolls?

[ivory barn]

I have void, need light

[sharp gale]

still waiting that screen of myth dragon loot in your vault

[dusky canopy]

Same same

[drowsy comet]

Muleyo UI?

[dusky canopy]

I don’t think I even want a raid item

Unless it’s a helm or something for crest saver

[ivory barn]

Nope, I made my own

[drowsy comet]

ur own UI? what is it called

[sharp gale]

it doesn't look like it but void is myth

and heart of hunger

[drowsy comet]

smh a fury warrior, not even arms

smh

[ivory barn]

Well made my own is a little much maybe, but it's a couple addons and a few hours of tweaks

[drowsy comet]

ahh okay

[sharp gale]

massive difference

[drowsy comet]

much better

[ivory barn]

I know it's fury, but same areas for prot

I used to use streamer UI's till things broke

[dusky canopy]

@lusty grotto what are the odds that I get seat gloves in vault and bonus roll a ring

[ivory barn]

If I bonus roll the other ring or have it in vault this week I can farm Pit neck

[drowsy comet]

Oh god thats alot going on in your screen

[ivory barn]

Kinda, yeah

It's always still being tweaked lol

[sharp gale]

100% mine

[crisp ocean]

is there an easy way in skyreach to time the golems beam thing in the room with the second boss

[ivory barn]

[drowsy comet]

KiraUI a lil bit modified

[daring marlin]

anyone else just getting tier upgrades in their vault?

pretty pog tbh

[ivory barn]

See I got yelled at for having action bars and the CDM spells showing twice

[daring marlin]

from who lol

[fringe mural]

i never killed any myth boss as i told you, i tried to test what wowhead said in lfr on alts

[drowsy comet]

i still have it shown but basically dont look at them at all, feels right seeingthem lmao

[opal ledge]

what happens when u bonus roll with the bag full?

[ivory barn]

My gm/RL

[fringe mural]

pash saw an lbv ring drop in a vault of a guy who downed the first two myth bosses of voidspire and chimaerus iirc

[stone tundra]

I would assume postmaster

[daring marlin]

bro's missing the forest for the trees

Does he tell you to turn off meters too?

[stone tundra]

Having it twice is fine, as long as it is out of the way

[daring marlin]

too much screen clutter

[undone beacon]

Man I made a nice pic to ask for vault advice in spirest land and nobody has helped me, why are people so mean to me smh

[ivory barn]

See this, this is fine to me too

[daring marlin]

oh damage numbers too

[drowsy comet]

mailed ig

[opal ledge]

not bad... it was nice rolling before vault, i would have gotten 2 weapons

[solid sun]

Did you happen to send a picture and your raid leader saw it

[stone tundra]

I want my nameplate battletext back

[ivory barn]

No, but there was a talk about it at one point

[solid sun]

Or is he micromanaging everyone’s ui

[stone tundra]

What the hell is wrong with him xd

[ivory barn]

We used to raid mythic and they want an aotc week 2 minimum. I think that's what wrong LOL

[drowsy comet]

think imma craft a belt, only thing i think worth, cloak already crafted

too bad i dont have crests ;/

[stone tundra]

How does micromanaging someones ui help tho

As long as it is not actively bad

[ivory barn]

Less for brain to stare at the better I 🤔

When weakauras existed I had an aura that covered meters in combat

[tribal wharf]

wow is easy game

i dont understand all the confusi on

its better for pvp isnt it

Cant see shit

Ye hodir, stormcloud

[undone beacon]

Comes down to simming youself

[tribal wharf]

i think blizzard with the current customizable ui

[undone beacon]

you would need clown scenarios to get some max healing scenario out of it

We're running a skyhold marathon now

[daring marlin]

[undone beacon]

Ghash is gonna run a marathon and we're all gonna join him ofc

[daring marlin]

very cool

[unreal sequoia]

Is a 289 weapon better then the crafted one with hunt?

[undone beacon]

Yes

[unreal sequoia]

Any reason it sims lower in damage?

[undone beacon]

Did you add an embel to another piece

[unreal sequoia]

not yet

[undone beacon]

Thats why

You're simming losing an embel for the weapon when in reality you'll be crafting an embel onto another slot and gaining the weapon

[unreal sequoia]

Is it worth spending the crests on another embelished piece then?

[undone beacon]

Yes

Cloak/Wrists tend to be where we want to slap an embel as they are low-impact stat slots

Throw an arcanoweave on wrists/cloak and you're gaming

[ivory barn]

My prot set is wrists/shield, cause fury was weapon/wrist

[velvet knot]

damn

[fringe mural]

Next week is craft week right?

or this week for you NA dudes

[jagged pier]

This week

[fringe mural]

ok, i have 1 spark now and should get another tomorrow then

[stone tundra]

You get spark every week, so yeah

[runic bolt]

Send help, what do we even bonus roll on if we have gaze

Wep?

[undone beacon]

Weapons or Shield if they arent myth, otherwise whatever sims best

[opal ledge]

so is monk that tankier than us?

[lofty warren]

Both my pwar and brew are 3.2k and I've just been doing 8 dung per toon. In my exp pwar is more tanks but brew does like 20k more dps

But it also varies how useful dodge is like on the skyreach birds that bleed you as a brew you dont really care bc ur gonna dodge and reset but as pwar you better watch it or die fast

[jagged pier]

Yer is played correctly

[daring marlin]

brew mit and self healing are pretty huge

goofy class

[jagged pier]

Always has been

[daring marlin]

true, silly drunkards

[lofty warren]

Self healing is fine but there are times as brew (especially on big pulls openers) where you go from half hp to 0 and ur stagger isnt even that high

Usually when lots of mobs hit you all at once

[plush tendon]

at least in a M+ setting this season, Brew is tankier then Prot War

but in raid Prot War is the tankiest tank

just going off % of deaths in Mythic

[daring marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/michaelscott-jpj-theoffice-the-office-gif-27685513

[lofty warren]

Ok well I must be using either the wrong talents or wrong play bc as brew I feel way squishier.. for talents im juat using the icyveins sp recommended

[daring marlin]

hmmmm, are they using 1/4 for all those deaths?

[lofty warren]

As pwar using bsv talents i have the confidence to do bigger pulls and even did lots of 15 Mc today with dps stance on

[plush tendon]

XD I hope not

[jagged pier]

Probably majority based of the stats

[daring marlin]

Be a funny correlation....!!!!

[plush tendon]

but thats where the tank balance conversation gets weird; cause to me Brew is completely useless in raid except for mystic touch but great in M+

whereas tanks like War, DK, Bear, heck even Pal to a extent have a real place in a raid comp

[lofty warren]

Brew is there due to high damage and good self healjng. If pwar did the same damage as brew it would be a pwar season 100%

[drowsy comet]

once again, some people really dont know shit in this game...

joined a +10 WS, ppl didnt know the Duo boss, failed the hook 2 times, wiped.
Tried again, with lust, all DPS and healer ded again, this Shaman legit trolled and acted like a child, well insta deplete lmao

lmao

[lofty warren]

See here in archon brew doing ~88k dps and pwar 78k. Put as a percent that means brew has 13% more dps than pwar.

[naive ravine]

I mean how many of those runs are with 1/4 apex

and full mastery TaN build

[drowsy comet]

fuck meta specs

[naive ravine]

Cant rly compared that

And also all the good players

(most of them)

Play brew

[drowsy comet]

because these players push the really high keys

99% of all the players dont

so metas are nonsense bait

[naive ravine]

Metas do exist

But monk is not the preffered tank cuz he is dealing tons of dmg

he just survives stuff

[solid sun]

Why do you think meta is nonsense bait

[jagged pier]

• 20 so no mastery build

But a fiar few 1/4 s

[daring marlin]

ask @undone beacon 10s are the trenches now

[jagged pier]

Majority most likely

[daring marlin]

after 17s I think

[drowsy comet]

its absolute cancer sometimes

[naive ravine]

There is atleast one log in that statistic that runs it

[stone tundra]

+10 "relaxed"

[drowsy comet]

every time

and when the team wipes once

??????

[dusty ruin]

Yall be playing with some wild characters

[trim bay]

i have crafted shield max. i got bulwark of noble resolve mythic in vault. is that prio due to 4 ilvl increase?

[stone tundra]

I am very glad that i dont need to pug keys

[drowsy comet]

thats the issue with "easy" season, all the casuals get to 10s and above and thats also why the depletion ratio is like 1:3 or so, saw something like that in a graph a week ago

[stone tundra]

12s should be fine?

[jagged pier]

Yes

[trim bay]

cheers dude.

i wasnt sure i thought so.

phat ass ring but as well

[jagged pier]

But u can always reroll a shield

[trim bay]

but block is block

[drowsy comet]

I wish

[jagged pier]

Vault now gets messy cause of rerolls

[crisp ocean]

12s are fine yeah

[jagged pier]

Like i have no reason to open as port as ill get 1hander and shield from rerolls can also ignore chest and legs

[stone tundra]

[jagged pier]

On reset day

[daring marlin]

DUDE IT DOES OH MY GOD

[drowsy comet]

i wonder if I can even get the 3rd bonus roll while not having done anything in the week...

[crisp ocean]

i did one today

[daring marlin]

I SORTA HATE IT

[undone beacon]

agreed

[daring marlin]

I'd like rerolling more if I raided actually

[dusty ruin]

I think you need 3 slots to get enough for w bonus roll

[drowsy comet]

time to do one MoP TW dungeon to stay on the safe side xd

[solid sun]

Maybe y’all are just using too much brain juice

[crisp ocean]

i mean compared to before you only get one myth piece if you stick to m+

[daring marlin]

hell no I just fuckin' full send

[solid sun]

Send the vault on the best item available and reroll as you do dungos

Heck yeah Guil just full send

We ain’t wizards here

[undone beacon]

[solid sun]

You’re not a wizard either

You’re a cult leader

[warm plinth]

Shhh stop yelling

[solid sun]

Who yelling

[undone beacon]

Guil is pumped he gotta yell

[solid sun]

Guil still feeling the effects of the preworkout energy spike

[lofty warren]

What is the correct decision if your vault sucks? Take bonus rolls or socket?

[plush tendon]

rerolls are awesome

super easy way to gear alts now

stack up a bunch of rerolls and get lots of myth I level

[tall lance]

Hello guys, at high keys 18-20, the stats prio continue to be crit>haste>mast>vers ?

I have 30% haste and 27% crit

[daring marlin]

correct

[crisp ocean]

vers is the worst ?

[daring marlin]

though this set of hyperextensions had me on the floor after

[plush tendon]

haste is always first

and then its sim

[tall lance]

Ok

[crisp ocean]

on wowhead it said haste>vers

[tall lance]

But the goal is the survivability not the dps

That’s why l’m asking

[undone beacon]

Haste is your best stat for survivability

[plush tendon]

we dont recommend the wowhead guide

as we dont know the guidewriter

[solid sun]

All stats have defensive value

[plush tendon]

but Mwahi does the Icy Veins one

[crisp ocean]

i’ll check it out then

[lofty warren]

Haste > vers = crit is all you need to know

[spiral jetty]

haste is default bis because it's cool also

[daring marlin]

WOWHEAD

https://tenor.com/view/anime-spit-aho-girl-angry-gif-11974959

[plush tendon]

haste is good cause it means more globals, better SB uptime, more rage, more cds, more fun

crit gives us damage and parry, which is awesome for mitagating melee damage and for the chance of negating dot/bleed applications

vers is just flat damage and DR that works on everything, but it scales slowly (every 1% of vers is only .5% dr... you really cant get that much to make it meaningful, but it shouldnt be avoided)

and mastery is attack power and increased crit block chance; generally the least useful, but could be good if its super low

[solid sun]

And we sim because we value doing more damage because things die faster and all stats have defensive value so whatever you get in addition to haste is going to help you live

[plush tendon]

^ exactly

[solid sun]

While preaching that gameplay is where the vast majority of your survivability rests

[ivory barn]

ahh yes shit vault, grabbing gloves

[plush tendon]

idk, seems like a decent vault

two pieces of myth tier

and a wep

[dusty ruin]

Yall getting me all fired up

[plush tendon]

I'd categorize a shit vault as being a vault the same item slot multiple times

[ivory barn]

made me 280 fury tho

[solid sun]

Well GGs is weird

Because they let their raid leader determine what they play and it changes like every hour it seems

So who knows what they need in their vault

[ivory barn]

I immediately took gloves, sim is better 🙂

[harsh trellis]

Stupid question time

[dusky canopy]

Send it

[harsh trellis]

this portion

does that still apply to whirling blade

[solid sun]

Yuh

[harsh trellis]

technically a ravager is active

[undone beacon]

Yes

[harsh trellis]

ok cool

[undone beacon]

Whirling Blade just procs Ravagers, it’s the same ability just random proc instead of on cast

[harsh trellis]

right, its what ive been using I was just browsin around and was curious

[undone beacon]

Yessir

[ivory barn]

time to go be sad after work with 2 more cores into Nexus

[solid sun]

Why are you sad

[ivory barn]

is this that 298 quest I'm guessing?

[undone beacon]

Yes

[daring marlin]

yes

[undone beacon]

Hah beat you to it

[daring marlin]

it's ok

Why do you hate me tho

[undone beacon]

I could never

[ivory barn]

trying to get teh light ring on mythic

[undone beacon]

That’s what I took from my vault

[ivory barn]

going to go see if my new rogue got it lol

[undone beacon]

My rolls are tied up for the next 1-3 weeks anyways with dragons reclears so

[charred ivy]

What is reccomended drop for bsv?

[drowsy comet]

u gotta smoke something to call this shit

[undone beacon]

Bloodsurge or EA

[charred ivy]

Ea?

[drowsy comet]

kinda interesting that Colossus is dealing this much more damage than MT

[undone beacon]

Enduring Alacrity

[charred ivy]

Ok ty 🙂

[ivory barn]

it was more due to the fact that light ring wasn't in there but either myth track slot was better 🙂

[drowsy comet]

i see

[daring marlin]

tbh every week my lock gets tier from vault

with single slots lol

[ivory barn]

my fucking rogue the first 10 I do week 1 is a myth dagger LOL

[daring marlin]

game wants me to roll demo

[undone beacon]

My shitass one dungeon slot a week hunter has rolled bis items every week

Pulled a bis weapon today

I’m sitting on like 5 myth 1/6 pieces from vault cuz I haven’t farmed crests on him

[daring marlin]

Should get double crests

farming crests on alts is actually the worst shit ever

[stiff inlet]

got both skyreach trinkets today win for rolls

[undone beacon]

I’m just waiting to hit 285 on priest so I can get crest discount on alts before I spend myth on them

[daring marlin]

smart, per usual

[plush tendon]

same

why we so smart

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-field-guide-smart-reading-browsing-gif-18268959348469286731

[daring marlin]

couple more weeks for me

I'm garbage and 281

[plush tendon]

I think ill be able to hit 285 this reset

[stiff inlet]

^

[daring marlin]

but I keep pulling mythic tier from vault at least

[plush tendon]

im 280 but im rocking a 263 neck and trinket

[undone beacon]

I reeeeeally hope i can rip a Vaelgors off of dragons this week

[plush tendon]

or itll be close; just gotta hope for a good reclear and vault

[undone beacon]

then i can free up future bonus rolls for NPX

[daring marlin]

I hope you do too cutiepie

[undone beacon]

[lofty warren]

Idk dont trust very small amount of col parses and the key level is lower

[drowsy comet]

Hallo

[undone beacon]

Sup

[loud rune]

pash did you get your mc chicken yday

[undone beacon]

I skipped dinner

[loud rune]

🙁

protein!

[undone beacon]

I didnt realize how late it was and then i just went to bed

[loud rune]

is the wow movie worth to watch

[daring marlin]

bro said protein in regards to a mcchicken

[loud rune]

36g protein at least

better 36 than nun

[daring marlin]

try 14 lol

smh

[loud rune]

maybe in the US

[rocky crest]

anyone blasting colossus in 17/18's ? how does it feel

[waxen frigate]

More like an amateur portion if you ask me

[daring marlin]

Brother that looks more like a grilled chicken sandwich

[loud rune]

our menu is a lil different here

we also dont have the quarterpounder etc

[daring marlin]

Also that sandwich is like 700+ calories

A mcchicken is 350ish

[daring marlin]

ok we have mccrispy too

[loud rune]

mcchicken looks sad compared to the crisp

[daring marlin]

It is lolp

[stoic hound]

do you mean like this?

[lusty grotto]

make sure youre also playing frothing on the class tree if youre dropping bloodsurge or your rage intake will suffer

also that build is kinda meh for anything under 18+

[loud rune]

the only valid proteincalorie thing to get at mcd imo is 20 piece nuggets and then only with ketchup as dip, 1000kcal at 54g protein, but then again no one goes to mcdonalds to eat clean

[charred ivy]

How come meh under 18?

[daring marlin]

I go to mcd's when I wanna eat like an asshole

[lusty grotto]

because your threat will suffer due to lower dps

and nothing there will make a difference

except for BSV

and ive ran BSV only swaps without the build he posted up to 17s without issues

if you want a crutch, BSV is more than enough

last stand and indom are unnecessary

[loud rune]

oh fuck that explains when i tested some high key build why i sometimes started to lose threat

[charred ivy]

Just wondering cause i wanna swap build cause i seen my parse was low. But also im scared of die xD going into 16s atm

[lusty grotto]

just do EA into BSV

that's more than enough

indom wont save you

LS is just 🤷‍♂️ and will reinforce bad habits such as using wall as a reaction instead of how it should be used

[nova gorge]

Anyone else notice a bug where you don't get the option for using voidcores after reset on anything?

[lusty grotto]

pop a health pot instead, its free and not worth any talent points

[nova gorge]

I didn't get the pop-up to spend my voidcores (I have 3) after mythic Chimmy kill. I used 2 last week on same boss.

[lusty grotto]

free as in completely off-gcd

[stoic hound]

so for 16+: icy veins build with bsv over enduring alacrity?

[lusty grotto]

for anything under 18

that number will be higher this week

because our ilvl goes up

[sharp gale]

open your currency window

[nova gorge]

I have 3

[toxic pewter]

well that sucks

[sharp gale]

weird

[toxic pewter]

maybe its an addon display issue occurring or something

sucks tho cant kill again this week

[lusty grotto]

make sure its not an addon and pop a CS request, if you get an "unfortunately we can't help you", keep making them

[lofty warren]

Taking bsv only has you give up a relatively small % of ur dps

Imo i have bsv and when I am not taking lots of damage I turn on dpa stance. Dunno how correct that is

[lusty grotto]

thats fine, as long as you remember to swap back

but its a minor optimization that people shouldn't really do

[charred ivy]

👍 ill try and hope my dps ups abit

[flat delta]

❤️ :3 UwU

[lusty grotto]

@daring marlin

for nimchipadin:
heart of ancient hunger hero track
or myth helm

sims say heart

but not by a lot

[undone beacon]

go into a heroic pug and kill vor

[lusty grotto]

ehh

im helping my brother's guild so i cant lock myself

[undone beacon]

If you dont wanna raid, you can always bonus roll a hat

Also im manning the fuck up and deciding to stop being a lazy bitch and making a real UI for my priest

[lusty grotto]

but pally might as well get myth helm out of a bonus roll while going for box

[undone beacon]

And getting twintops bar

[undone beacon]

yeee thats what im sayin, you can roll a helm and if you arent likely to get heart from raid then heart seems solid to pick up

[lusty grotto]

yeah

ill just sit on it for now

[lofty warren]

If you dont want to waist time pugging myth chim or myth vorax is it better to bonus roll heroic raid boss or get myth solar prism

[daring marlin]

prolly myth helm I think that trinket sucks

can farm better

you ain't replacing myth helm til next tier

[undone beacon]

Guil has spoken

[lusty grotto]

nimchip vault

[ivory barn]

A gaze

[daring marlin]

damn ok mythic gamer

[lusty grotto]

chipadin vault

[daring marlin]

oh wait nvm

[lusty grotto]

ah fuck i lost the screenie

[undone beacon]

hero gaze time

[daring marlin]

[lusty grotto]

nah i mean the screenie for chipadin vault

[ivory barn]

Hit Windows V

[ivory barn]

Unless you disabled that

[undone beacon]

okay so now that im actually being not a noober and making a ui, is there a lightweight addon to let me have more than just "Essential CDs" and "Utility CDs" in an ugly ass line in cdm

[lusty grotto]

nah i know about the paste history thing

[undone beacon]

im resistant to change grrrr

[lusty grotto]

it wasnt that i lost it, its that i never did it

[daring marlin]

lmfao

[lusty grotto]

gaze it is

or hodl

[pastel summit]

is its ilev bugged thats not hero is it

[lusty grotto]

its hero

only the paladin did myth raid this week

[fringe mural]

@sharp gale so what would be your advice to get myth alnseer if i haven't killed any myth boss, just pug chim and imperator?

[sharp gale]

pug chim and bonus roll the boss

[daring marlin]

pugging chim is aids

[ivory barn]

I contemplated pugging Chim

[daring marlin]

I hate wasting time

[sharp gale]

i killed it on my monk it was fine

[tight tusk]

Its not too bad

[undone beacon]

yeah pugging chim is a gamble. It either goes down in like 5 pulls or it goes down in 25+

[daring marlin]

[undone beacon]

see, 5 pulls like i said

[lofty warren]

Looked at a Brew and pwar +20 wcl and seems like the Brew does more dps and also requires more healing. If that is true how is Brew "tankier"?

Pwar dps = 78k
Brew dps = 88k

Pwar ehrps = 23k
Brew ehrps = 34k

[daring marlin]

Re-read what Pash said

[sharp gale]

saladbar was not free tho

[remote tusk]

Now check how much stagger they cleared.

[lofty warren]

Ehrps factors in what they removed with stagger

[daring marlin]

Happy's right I should have piloted the people in my group last week that wiped 20+ times

[lofty warren]

Doesn't it?

[daring marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/dumb-stupid-brainlet-wojak-meme-gif-17170021

[lofty warren]

Ehrps is the healing required AFTER mitigation and stuff

[sharp gale]

i was the raid leader yes

for chimaerus

[lofty warren]

Ehrps = EXTERNAL healing required per SECOND

[daring marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/liam-mc-ewan-what-over-my-head-over-your-head-funny-gif-13114017

[lofty warren]

External means not from the monk

[lofty warren]

#protection message

See here looked at these logs, ehrps is higher for brew

[frosty mango]

I pugged it Sunday and it took 5 pulls lul

[fringe mural]

so no

monk needs more healing

[frosty mango]

Hp is finite and that is not an accurate metric

[lofty warren]

How is ehrps not an accurate metric? Wcl is bugged?

[frosty mango]

The brew is likely doing larger pulls (bc stagger) which would mean more inbound healing. Also the class of healer will make a big difference in that number - a brew being healed by a Druid will have a much higher ehrps than a brew being healed by a paladin because of the race condition created by hots vs direct heals

And further more comparing them to warriors in this way has no control or normalization

If you wanted to run that comparison you would need to do it in two keys with the same players, same classes, same route.

[charred ivy]

whirling blade is totally passive right?

[fringe mural]

ya

[frosty mango]

You can’t just run blind comparisons and come to conclusions, that’s not how data works

Also - “tankiness” isn’t just inbound healing, it’s also the damage curve

[fringe mural]

i mean it's kinda obvious that stagger is better to heal

because of how smooth the dmg intake is

[frosty mango]

Taking 500k damage over 10 seconds evenly is much tankier than tanking 500k damage in 1 second and 0 for 9

[lofty warren]

If ur doing 1 pack at a time or 10 packs at a time, I both cases youre taking damage ==> mitigating some ==> rest is ehrps.

I can see ehrps being lower is healed by a paladin due to their spec dr passive but in this case its a sham healer and druid healer.

Why would you need to normalize for warriors. Ehrps already gives you the external healing that player required in the key?

[frosty mango]

You would need to normalize for any comparison. And the pack size is important because of the race condition I noted

[lofty warren]

What race condition?

[fringe mural]

you will have more time to use your own self healing if you pull 1 pack at a time

[frosty mango]

More mobs = more damage incidence in a smaller window = less external overheal

[fringe mural]

and need less healing

from external sources

even if the mobs hit you the same number of times in total

for example

[frosty mango]

Correct, because your personal heals only tick so fast, and your hp drops faster with more mobs so pulling 10 packs at once means the healer has less overheal on you. Vs pulling 1 pack 10 times means the healer likely has 100% overheal on you

This is precisely why I always say healing logs are useless for external comparison because there are so many factors that influence them

[lofty warren]

Well if both are timing 20s I suppose there is an assumption that both are doing big/similar size pulls

[frosty mango]

That’s a bad assumption to make when you’re drawing conclusions based on the data you’re making those assumptions about

[calm tulip]

I don't think that is a particularly bad assumption for a 20, but looking at more logs of 20s will lead to more accurate conclusions

[lofty warren]

Well i dont have wcl db access where the heck would I find the source to do comparison up to the accuracy standards

[lofty warren]

Brew has always had high ehrps due to design

[drowsy comet]

Monks are cringe

what u need a stick for if u can have a sword and a big ass shield

[fringe mural]

that is the only correct answer

although

they were even more cringe in d3

[drowsy comet]

i said it idk how many times but brew is such a boring spec. Keg Smash, Firebreath couple of Brews spinning like a idiot

While as warrioe u got big ass stomp, spread out Thunders. Charge and Smash ur enemies, be tanky af and have probably the most HP out of all tanks

[plush tendon]

people like different things

personally, brew looks cool and its unique but its just not for me

northern sky raid tools

[fringe mural]

monk ist just an acceptable dps for me

[plush tendon]

i totally disagree

its a cool DPS (honestly, wind walker to me is the most boring of the monk specs)

the way MW heals is really cool

and I think Brew, especially when it was first introduced in MoP, was a exciting and new way to tank

[waxen cradle]

Yeah just had a rogue dps tell me in a Skyreach 14, why are you kiting bro, had 9 stacks of the fire debuff on me and the shear debuff so 20% less armor and taking 130k damage a second from the fire

And he is like bro wtf why you kiting

[sharp gale]

You can do 2 delves lvl 1 if you want 1 more slot

[plush tendon]

dont have to tell him anything

[cerulean tusk]

That is the moment I press shadowmeld

"WHY ARE YOU RUNNING, WHY, ARE, YOU, RUNNING?"

I should have done that I should have hit shadowmeld

well shadowmeld pot anyway

[lusty grotto]

ive used that sound on my soundboard so much, that it just sounds like white noise at this point

The funny thing is after the key the rogue was like tank was trolling

I was like lmao

Is it dumb to macro /cancelaura bop to your regular abilities so when you get bop'd there's less of a chance for time delay?

no

ive had those macroed since tbc

We are considered a large guild now

[lusty grotto]

unfortunate wording, i think they meant community servers

[lofty warren]

They are all over the leaderboards but when I look at ehrps on wcl it shows them with a higher number. Even if you factor for fortune passive letting them chance for 70% bonus healing its still higher

[undone beacon]

We are a large guild indeed

[frosty mango]

not to the guy who is living in 2005 and just flamed me for dpsing on mistweaver

[stoic hound]

phew I though I was banned in mage's discord despite messaging there two years ago

That's ok, one of the healers in my guild is mist and they don't even play the correct builds because "is a noob trap"

like as a threat to the group

[ivory barn]

Tank tuning needs to happen to all but brew

[tribal wharf]

oh, so its kill it with fire immediately

[undone beacon]

I mean it typically gets cleaved down but if it isnt killed mobs get dr+bonus damage so

Also killing it gives 20% vers(?) iirc

[lofty warren]

Found it, I usually ignore tally-essin since he does casual content. Imo I hope they hit brew with a 5% dps nerf and 10% tankiness nerf and give 10% dps to pwar. Also let bears get aggro in aoe pls

[lusty grotto]

how about... tank tuning does not need to happen and yall need to stop being little bitches

thats my toxic take today, you're welcome everybody

[undone beacon]

I'll forever play my pwarr cuz i love my pwarr, it is what it is

[frosty mango]

War is legitimately a meta contender rn lol

[undone beacon]

But I don't think its out of line to say it would be nice if the other tanks were a little more beefy

[lofty warren]

Since "tankiness" is super hard for us small Brian's to calculate, we can look at dps and see that brew is doing a lot of dps. Buff pwar dps to match of nerf brew down to be with everyone else

seriously though, it actually feels better keeping up with friends outside of knowing everything through social media

everytime i reconnect with someone im filled with massive amounts of news

[frosty mango]

My family and friends all think im some sort of spy because i work in IT and have zero social media presense

[undone beacon]

I'm really shit at keeping up with people, i gotta reach out to people again but then i fall asleep and forget

My only social media is discord

[frosty mango]

Social media is a plague on society and it should be erased from existence

Discord is a communication medium not really social media

[undone beacon]

I guess I lurk on reddit shitposting subs that counts

[lofty warren]

Upcoming tank tuning note just dropped!

• Mt: aoe stomp damage buffed by 20%

  Warrior: shield slam damage buffed by 5% and added affect "each shield slam reduced avatar cd by 1 second"

Brew:

• purifying brew removes half the stagger it previously did
• keg smash dps reduced by 50%

[lusty grotto]

yeah pretty much disc is my only one as well, sometimes i do watch some instagram reels just to burn time but thats about it, no friends or family tied to it

[undone beacon]

I reinstall insta for every other partner because they want to do stuff on it but then we break up and i delete it again

[lusty grotto]

lol

[plush tendon]

I have instagram, but I carfully monitor who Im friends with on there

I have... 4 right now

[undone beacon]

The exalted 4

[plush tendon]

they send the best memes

[frosty mango]

I miss aim

We need to bring back aim and Winamp

Am I dating myself?

[lusty grotto]

ehh

i dont miss winamp tbh

[undone beacon]

I avoid tiktok like the plague, but people keep sending them to me and i have to watch them on cellular data because i have it blocked on my home network

[plush tendon]

heck, I dont even have my GF on my instagram

[undone beacon]

Tell her to get better memes

[frosty mango]

Winamp was my jam

[lusty grotto]

im fine with spotify, probably the only service i dont really mind paying for

[frosty mango]

I had so many mp3s

[lusty grotto]

same

i still do

[plush tendon]

yea, her meme game is weak af

[frosty mango]

I use tidal, it’s the only service with actual hifi streams

Tho their library isn’t as good as Amazon or Spotify

[undone beacon]

When i was a wee lad I'd use youtube -> mp3 converters to download music, then upload it into itunes, then manually import them into my shitty iphone

[plush tendon]

Spotify Premium is worth it.... I spend so much time driving and listening to music

that it more then compensates for the cost

[lusty grotto]

yeah thats my problem with it

[undone beacon]

Then i was a Pandora kid for a while

[autumn heron]

Spotify Premium more important than netflix

[plush tendon]

Netflix was dropped long ago

[undone beacon]

Then switched to spotify because Pandora didnt have the vocaloid artist i wanted to listen to

[frosty mango]

I have thousands of dollars of audio gear I can’t bring myself to use Spotify low res

[plush tendon]

I only get it when something good comes out

Amazon Prime is honestly goated

[frosty mango]

Amazon Music honestly has the best catalog, they have literally everything

[undone beacon]

https://tenor.com/view/pirate-sabastian-legacies-gif-21836937

netflix be damned

[lusty grotto]

understandable roid, but i have some very obscure music taste and if tidal does not carry certain genres then its a deal breaker

spotify seems to have most of it, and if i cant find it, i have the mp3s

[autumn heron]

....what does that even mean 👀

[undone beacon]

nim is listening to vocaloids all day

[frosty mango]

Yeah I’m with you, I’m a big bluegrass guy and their selection of southern rock, bluegrass and folk rock blows

[lusty grotto]

im just too lazy to load up the NAS etc

[plush tendon]

Nim listens to South East African Viking Rap

[lofty warren]

Yt premium for music app + no adds in yt

[frosty mango]

I have a pretty wide range of taste Nim might have me beat though

[frosty mango]

No ads in anything if you got your own dns server

[undone beacon]

I just listen to folk punk and lesbian pop

[autumn heron]

Idk what to say to that. GL mixing african rap with nordic sounds ?

[frosty mango]

Some of the shit my daughter listens to is genuinely decent, some of it is terrible

[plush tendon]

its actually more viking rap with a tinge of that South East African Country beat

you just dont get it

[lusty grotto]

lmao

[frosty mango]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hu

I f with the hu

[undone beacon]

i love these guys

[plush tendon]

is that the Asian version of The Who?

[lofty warren]

Route traffic through your dns and you have a whitelist to only allow non-adds?

[lusty grotto]

i mean mongolian war cries go hard

[autumn heron]

Yeaaah i... need an example

[lusty grotto]

i havent actually listened to those guys though

[frosty mango]

I trap all traffic from my internal network as well as our phones to my own dns server and blacklist literally anything that isn’t expected traffic

[lusty grotto]

but off the top of my head, the 3rd dune's trailer had a good mongolian throat singing and it sounded really good

[frosty mango]

Oisd.nl has very robust ad lists

[autumn heron]

I think my music Taste is just too simple

[frosty mango]

Lately smart devices have been getting smarter and breaking if you black hole ads so I’ve been redirecting to a local and returning a 200 so they think it succeeded

Samsung is sheisty as shit when it comes to on device ads

My Samsung fridge has a screen and it actually has Samsung ads loaded to the local storage it will play if it can’t get out to the net which is insane when you think about it

[lofty warren]

What if you take you phone far away from your house? Even inside the network i would yt specific app on tv/streamer stick would have a precondition for add to have initialized and completed before serving content

[frosty mango]

My dns server is accessible to me anywhere

[lofty warren]

What about 2nd q

[frosty mango]

Usually that is just looking that the ad was resolved and if you redirect the traffic and return the expected http codes it will go along on its merry way

Most people can’t set things like this up, it’s my job so I know how to do these things but I think the bigger take away is you shouldn’t need to be what is essentially a network engineer to stop getting blasted with ads in your home

[autumn heron]

How far behind is col to thane?
Thane is boring to play

[lusty grotto]

in ST it beats thane by 1%

in AOE its under by 4%

so play what you want

[opal lodge]

question does heroic Gaze of alnseer beat myythic track heart of the wind ?

[frosty mango]

You have to sim this

[lusty grotto]

thats a question easily answered by simming

[opal lodge]

i never sim ahha 😛

[lusty grotto]

well today is a good day to start

[opal lodge]

haha

[frosty mango]

Conversely we will never answer that question

We seem to be at an impasse

[opal lodge]

thats alright ill sim it but to manyy choices in vault this week

[frosty mango]

We could give you an answer, but it would be a complete guess

[autumn heron]

Thank you for the actual numbers

Since i just use my arms gear and play offtank i have way more crit than Haste. Probably better to go col then due to statweights

[lusty grotto]

stat weights dont matter

[autumn heron]

Dunno about that. Thane usually loves haste. Ill never have enough haste to even specc into fray, sooo..
Guess ill just sim and find out

[lusty grotto]

wrong

[frosty mango]

It doesn’t matter
