I keep tryna time a 15 nexus
sometimes you luck and get that legendary pug group that mops the floor with the mobs but disbands right after the key
i dont think I had a run where we didnt get at least 2 deaths from crossing the lines

toddlers that “???” you when the axes smoke your ass in AA 
that didn’t happen to me, promise
lol. eh axes arent that bad if you keep half a dozen defensives just for that pull and they die fast enough 
spellbound axe
at veximus?
yes
what they do
Smack you with arcane damage
okay I did it, I got myself thr new D4 expansion 
that dung is sleeper nightmare to tank imo
1st pull is hardest probably. after that it's fine
Wicked sick
My favorite wtf moment has been getting DELETED by the little sporelashers in Windrunner. Didn’t realize the big lasher gives them a nature damage buff, learned the hard way.
i am resisting the temptation for now, not enough time to play d4 and wow
cuz you cant stun lashers on first pull but you can stun pretty much all mobs you need later
and work and kids
wait what.
today i learned
wait is there a new expansion or what
yeah
managed to get through that one on a 14 without knowing gg
like new new after the paladin
but lashlings die fast. i think birds and not interrupting the bolt is more important
I honestly need a small break from WoW felt exhausted. And D4 I havent touched since last expansion lol
The paladin was just a taste
now is the full expansion
says I have it
Yea Pala was a lil treat
warlock
then u have preordered it
new endgame, new campaign, 2 new classes, a level cap increase, and the typical D4 grind
guess i have to reinstall shaking smh my head
Paragon to idk what level lol
I did like paladin tho ngl
but its a crime they didnt give it that armor guards have
i loved Rogue
a CRIME
legit fav class
before I was barbarin' it
barb is also sick ye
2 days ago
think imma play warlock, loved it in Diablo 2 Resurrected and its a pretty sick class
in d2 I was necromancer andy
there's just smth about having a skeleton army
prolly my favor thing in poe too
just an army of zombies and skeletons
Hammerdin most iconic D2 build
I just smiled
next to Sorc
mf is the joker
there is
people come up with the most random builds

When am I pressing Shield Wall in M+? On heavy hitting abilities like Searing Beak on first boss in Spire?
But then again I can't shield wall every Searing Beak.
Shield Block is already reducing the initial hit damage by 40%+
this shit takes so long to download man...
2nd day trying myth chima, this shit gonna melt my brain but I want to extra rolls for gaze so bad
Just dont bother
Jajajajaja
but only with pepega stats
It sims better when u get backshots tho, right?
apparently saying some nono words gets you punished, gup was a bad boy
who needs to get punished
naughty boi
i feel like every time I press any button
its just AHHHHHHHHH
try it with the something recalibrator
or the enchanting thing

in general, are you guys using your bonus reroll to try and get Gaze trinket?
Yes i did and got it last week.
If i do it on Heroic, will i get a mythic track version then? or is that only on mythic +
You get the vault lvl of whatever you are doing iirc
So for hc raid thats hc items
is it ever worth flasking vers
they know how to get people to buy skins in Diablo 4 lmao
I get what they are trying to do, but it looks kinda meh
free the boobies!
Is there a best dungeon to use your rolls on for prot?
Guys I’m currently just running the wow m+ build on wowhead generally set and forget probably ignorant of me. But is there any dungeons where you’d swap anything over just as I’m trying to improve, cheers.
Only running 14/15’s atm
Yeah
CkEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA0yAAAjZYmZmZGziZmlZMGjGzYYxMzMjZYmBAAAALjBYGDwAbwyiRjZAMLYmNwMzMYWGAMzAAwMgB
Highly recommend icy veins and not wow head guide talents for this season since those talents made sense to the guy who wrote it
Start with those talents first and your healers won't be breaking their backs
Right that makes sense I have actually used icy veins as a guide in general as I heard that at the start it wasn’t right but weirdly I took the talents from wowhead
Thanks for the advice mate, appreciate it.
Anytime, play with what you like, but 1/4 is like the Olympic swimmer Mark Spitz, who joked at the 1972 Olympics that his mustache deflected water, aiding his 7-gold-medal performance so everyone grew mustaches to aid their performances in swimming
Helps to look at all key levels too
What key were you guys spending your bonus rolls on?
Yeah fair, I’ll be honest had a bit of a setback recently and it’s knocked me confidence tanking so wanting to motivate myself again
Mythic vanguard question, stepping in to replace brew tonight after a couple of 3-5% wipes last week. Can I just say I'll keep General at all times with spell reflect and we'll swap Commander as needed, and BDK keeps Senn? Minus any run out with ult points. Just trying to simplify rules as much as possible so we don't spend all night wiping to me learning it.
Ye pretty much
o wow that looks cool
glad i got into gold making on wow cuz i bought digital deluxe for tokens xd
for that sick pala armor
We don’t actually recommend archon
It isn’t a guide and aggregate sites can’t reveal why people take certain talents. Sometimes it’s simply because they copied some streamer so looking at archon or aggregate sites has to be viewed from a proper lens
except that won't make people wanna tank lol
Make tanks do more damage maybe
people get dopamine hits from big DAMAGE
I think the only way to get more people to tank is to remove the higher sense of responsibility placed on tanks in dungeons (and maybe sometimes raid)
But idk how you do that
add tank shaman and u get me maining tank forever
making every tank as tanky as brew monk is a start
I games where you have the holy trinity tanks will always be the fewest because it requires homework and happy brain chemical is rewarded much more via being a DPS
This
Well
They can't balance current tanks. Adding another one will make things worse
I think cluster just revealed why it’s hard
its more like they dont want to
cuz im sure its not hard
they balance for raid anway
they give 0 shtis about m+
They just casually said tanking requires homework and it absolutely does not require more homework than any other role
thats why bm isnt getting nerfed
well addin lidormi's guidance to any key lvl is a start
or making it so you can make your own
and mobs u want to pull are highlighted
You can literally just press W in keys and get a higher score than most people achieve
Jakey is one of the best tanks here and champions press w every season
Which honestly speaks to a community problem
tank role is too mentally taxing for 80% of dps players
And idk how blizzard solves that
u can't really
Even when they gave us the lindormi thing
Immediately people in the community gave tanks shit for using it lol
tanks are just expected to be knowledgeable in wow
just like u need 5 y of experience for entry lvl job
ofc they did its the wow community
and im sure the blizz routes arent the best
they need to introduce it into the game as a customisable thing
Sure they can build on it, but you can at least hit 3k just pulling the glowy dudes
And 3k is higher than most people get
Just ignore it
Press w and vibe
I looked up no route and got to 3k
I did laat night for MC 13 but thats because i have run the key like once the whole season but that was also basically the w rpute i had done before
W route in week1 is different than W route in week 4 when everybody's 280 and DPS cover tank mistakes
(or inefficient/illegal pulls)
If you want 3K in week1-2 on a non-meta tank, you need homework
This season, agreed. Since it's undertuned. Past expacs, didnt really worked well
How good is gloom-spattered dreadscale trinket for us in m+?
Bad
Adding more tanks makes it harder...how? lol
They could easily just add more tanks. Who cares
There will always be a gigafuck top tank anyway
Blizz greatest issue atm is that if they buff tanks, healers start to feel unimportant and stress of the bigger pulls will move unto them.
Now, I will agree that tank, especially BDK, feels like shit atm due to this new design philosophy. Yet, for their intended purpose, it is a solid one to follow.
true, real
bring on shaman and warlock tanks blizz
@jagged pier I could balance it
Then apply for the job at blozzard

do logs not show how much rage was generated by instigate? is that note droppable?
It totally depends what you need
the more useful upgrades there are in a key the better
i spent mine on dn
Deeznuts?
the big cheese gets a whole different meaning
I am looking for a tank to play as an alt is prot viable compared to other tanks (ignoring brew though)
gg 🙃
okay now read that again
Also read cheese statements from before
and decide if you want to take that clown seriously
It shows up as devastator
😄
You, you clown
Well tbh my question was ignoring brew :p
unless ur going for top 1 spot
How prot compares to bear, pali, dk and dh
clown
every tank is viable
Very fine
Calma ty
oh shit, so it gives a crazy amount of rage, ty
bear seems to be above the other by a bit tho
so good choice
then brew is just in another tier entirely
Yeah but bear was boring pre prune so yeee
Brew needs it's shins kicked
frost mage
Is frost mage easy xd?
I don't know what i expected
very
currently brew is pretty much bear simplicity
brew is by far the easiest tank to play rn
I main frost so was curious haha
maybe bear is a bit easier but its harder to survive there xD
Frost mage has procs though
And needs to keep tabs on fingers debuff
i thought brew is just spin and belch
dont try to make frost sound complicated
Brew does as well now
With apex
Or 1 proc
I mean the fact that aoe and st rotation is 1:1 the same makes it pretty easy too
u aint spinnin as brew smh my head
useless monks, not even spinning
Is pugging dreamrift mythic already doable for farming Gaze trinket with bonus roll?
or still a nightmare?
depending on the group you get
and the time you have
healer fight
been pugging it for 4 weeks
and if you get invited or not
absolutely puggable
You have been invited without achievement?
hmm oke
well the first one yeah
and that one took how long?
just wondering if i should use my bonus roll on heroic version or try and pug mythic
only 5 hours
Create a group if you wanna be sneaky

dont bonus hc lol
What a chad you are
tbf by now it should be even easier
not worth it?
and as tank u dont even need to learn nothing
because you're a tank or because you have the kill acm?
true
mythc dream has like 0 new things
for tanks
can prolly add that to note
might get invited to ce only runs
Just curious how do you select your gear? Since simming only does dmg?
quite often whatever sims best for dmg will do well defensively too
the only exception is the pure damage trinkets
there u kinda decide for yourself if u want the damage increase with no defensive benefits
I mean specifically trinks like void reapers contract n such
Hmm yeah fair would be cool to be able to sim survivability and compare it with dmg
but our bis ones are all with stats so u get both anyway
warrior is always first and fore most for me, post panda
has NOTHING at all to do with has the most armor of any class, and can collect every weapon appearance except wands
totally not why i made him
Where did yall spend your bonus rolls? Got double trinkets and dungeons seem fairly sparse for upgrade options
hey y'all, I'm using Defensive Stance nearly 100% of the time in m+ except for damage amp phases where I know for a fact I'm safe to blast damage.
Is there any guidance for when to use DS vs BS in m+? I'm a total noob (been playing for like 3 months) and I'm doing 14s and 15s right now with 280 ilvl
for me with bonus rolls literally none of them
cuz i log into warrior and try to do keys and collect vault and thats about it
been lazy about quests
Just stay in dstance 24/7. The damage bonus in battle is a big who cares.
Especially since it’s so minor
Shoot. I'm doing terrible DPS and was hoping that was the issue.
definitely not
Dstance is like your car has automatic crash breaking protection
looks like i gotta dig deeper into my logs and find out why my damage sucks
if you have balls of steel, by all means play no BSV+ITF+bstance
my balls are flesh, unfortunately
just, if you do, expect the results, lol
Or just send them
Compared to other prot warriors or in general
other prot warriors
When going into dstance was a flat 10% reduction in damage done there was the last time we went into battle
Should I send here or in log channel?
What are the conditions you’re doing for sending IP?
so, they wont bring back condemn, because clearly its too much overpowered right
60+ rage, but I'm probably not consistent with it
Here
how about, son of condemn
you can do it once on pull
but wait, then execute dmg sucks anyways
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/9vCbGDfF8hWBNjYL?fight=last
^ here's a maisara caverns run i did. m14
Actually this m14 NPX is probably better. I'm 9th percentile lol
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/yxYnZA1jadgLr26P?fight=4&type=damage-done
Hey folks, I wanted to ask since I'm tryna practice my pulls on M+. Are there any go-to content creators or folks who post vods of their pulls for reference?
Wasted ragae in the second which wont help, but generally all pretty good, exepct casts are low like pretty low your kissing gcds
I like Topicx
May also be pull size as well 
His vod for NPX was really helpful so I knew how to do first pull.
Ohhh, I'll check it out! Thanks
thank you! I feel like I'm typically mashing buttons to get GCDs, but I'm sure I'm hitting things that are still on CD and therefore not casting when i should
Pull size is tough. I feel like I don't know the dungeons well enough / have enough game knowledge to know what to do
Record yourself u probably will be doing thag
duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude
I've been trying recently to be more methodical
and only press what i know i need
but shits hard
Yes but get mixed gcds for us at least really hurts us
U miss a ss cast
That adds up
And send your rage, u were fine in one. Off in the other
I've been prioritizing Revenge recently and forgetting to dump into IP
still dumping, but less of a prio
and that is a mistake
Just because your prioing revenge doesnt drop the casting of ip one is off the gcd and one isnt
Casting more revenges also wont net u more damage as thane at least
As both tc and ss are more worthwhile
i'm saying that i've been focusing revenge and just forgetting to hit IP as much
on the first one i sent (most recent) i corrected for that i think
hence less rage waste (at least i think you said that)
got it!
I'm trying to follow this prio list. my focus on revenge is because i never fucking used it previously lol
Thats fair, takes time to get the balance right
Where do you cast Ravager? Use the proc one it's much nicer
That's what I'm thinking, but I'm concerned I'm also just missing stuff
It there jist incase ppl use rav gg
I'm not using ravager- i have the proc one
wait TC over SS?
Makes sense 
TB
this feels wrong
Before ss
TB > SS > TC right?
blasting slamming clapping 
But thats minmaxy
me
I still do that, but it really doesnt matter anymore
The global between blasts is prolly SS for apex
I mean u dont play around apex really
That just happens naturally
U dont hold ss to tc/tb for instance
U just send ss
True, I catch myself sometimes trying to hold it

same, i'll be trying to press the shiny button more often
Need to blow it immediately 
can someone give me some light as to why we gem slots with haste/verst and not haste/crit (being our two best stats) - iv currently gemmed all +32 primary then haste/crit should i change over to haste/verst? im at 265 ilvl

first off, this looks like a Paladin so you should go to the Paladin Disc
Ask the ppl that do that
second; only haste is our best stat and we sim to decide which gem to slot
Who gems vers?
I do
Lmao
LOL
real
also, for me at least, Ill throw in what haste+stat gem looks good at the time
its +7 of a stat
7 vers or 7 crit aint gonna change anything
if thats from Wowhead, we currently dont reco wowhead
Go IV guides 
i recall hearing that all stats are equally important (after haste), but i'm shit at the game, so
^
If I mislead everyone I look better
I have 37 vers from 1 piece of gear if that helps
all stats are good; how good they are is based on each characters current loadout and sim
so its a ever changing and unique to you number
Strength/Item Level > Haste > Versatility = Crit > Mastery 
same
🤣
i'll fix it soon 
so its hard to give you a hard rule to follow
i love haste
I got the bick Crown neck with like 200+ haste
mad pally tier owns???
so im really comfy now
won't ever play a low haste spec
Haste is better than no Haste
no haste is great

HDR was turned on so it looks like he bathed too much in the Light as well
apm is the main reason I can't play worrior no more
these wrists aint built for it man
Kinda funny, stat sim (pointless I know) is saying to get a mastery piece
nice
somebody was ragging on alex about transmog, basic human, sure
i like this
but like, this is all 3 plate classes rolled up into 1
warrior, paladin (gold) and dk (horns)
that tiers tmog was wierd
they all had the same color pallet
and this weird rock vibe to em
i think it looks so good
i just run a full maldraxxus set + banner
my favorite aesthetic
compared to many other transmogs
I'd show you the mog I got, but the gear on the SS is wrong
thats the tomb remake
aye
I have this one on currently but replaced a ring last night 
Why does that look like a dk and a pally hit a warrior
I love tier 6.... its why I have a hard time swapping off human for warrior
but I really like ICC and Ulduar armor on Dwarves
can u still get that
That place gives me nightmare
I think you can just go and do it
wicked
dont quote me on that
Man struck gold on trinkets
monk is super cool
Is the spell book still obtainable?
I think so?
its for doing all the challanges I think
but that sounds like a pain
so you have to do the healer challange
its a fun thing to work on
i'll never do the mage tower because of 1 event
Tomb of Sargeras set model is one of my favorite
every time i go to mage tower, its all i can hear and see
Yer its good
One of my tmogs is that set
I do need to go finish argus set at some point
what lvl do u need tho
I can’t really use it on gnome bc the helmet is weird
none
it scales you down
theres a guide on wowhead
so ur telling me i can do it on 10
to cheese the gear a bit
you use stuff like old legos or MoP crafted gear
AKA: a timewalking set
I mean, you should be able to walk in there and just slap it dead
wicked
its fairly cheep to get a good timewalking set
altho ill prolly just do those 2 and call it anyway

I don't play mages imagine riding a book
makes no sense smh my head
(maybe eventually)
Didn't they kill that?
back then it was quite the feat
i think today the scaling kinda sucks and you need to cheese a little
I member doing it on druid for the forms
also it was tuned for legion legendaries
I was doing the asmongold impression
i wasn't good enough to do the tank challenge back then
(hitting my head against the desk)
did they?
but i haven't really tried hard
i tried fury a lot and eventually managed to kill the big fat lady
for my artifact weapon appearance
login server seems to be down
i'm eu
sad, i don't want to do chores
ah now it works
thank god
I got prot before fury, but prot was so much trust the defensive on the end boi
just tried a key there does it do less damage then wowhead build feels like it might slightly
IDK xD
IV guide is much better. I'm no longer a squish
Whats the go to guide for prot? Is there any doc written?
Icy veins
pretty sure it all scales to you now
Unless mage tower is different from timewalking
Yeah the content scales up instead of you scaling down
Most of the fun timewalking sets dont work anymore

Might just full send prot need patch and say fuck fury
Bruh, watching that parse on Alleria kinda cemented the want to do that
Did you see it?
Nah
the lion
the witch
and the audacity of this brother
just let it sink in a little
i'm close to crafting it in 3/5 quality to mess up his sparks
some people might just want the skill points
he forgot to set max quality
Providing crap mats and 100 gold is silly because you'd have to use concentration lol
oh, he didnt give max quality mat
yeah
yea, he made it literally impossible
not even possible with gold star
you can also do it and send a message to him saying 'need max rank mats for rank 5 craft'
I have the ability to make so much at R5, but how do you get people that need it
At 3280 io I'm apply and not getting invites for 16s on my pwar. I get invites to 15s pretty quick and easy.. but I've been sending 16 applications for 15 min now without an invite wtf is this
Is it illegal for pwar to do 16 or higher
Do your own key or finish off all 15s
Hi there you should try being a non purple or green dps. 🙂
Being tank doesnt mean that you deserve to get in people’s keys and skip levels
It means you get to make those choices yourself
Frankie Tank, the team lead behind tanks at blizzard.com, actually put out a post on Google+ about how prot warriors are being soft-banned in lfg andf wont show up when you apply to keys unless you put the secret Certified Tank Password in your note
To be fair, note tech been around for ages
Its our obligation Cam because we are the music makers, we are the dreamers of dreams
Some say you can only get the password by giving Frankie Tank a kiss on the lips
true; in fact, I would say in the higher level keys, there isnt a tank shortage
people are MUCH more picky about what tanks they bring
When people take the time to push their own key up, they're gonna take what they feel is most likely to bring them success
I can stand behind that tho, currently tanks die like flies
and they can be; the rules that apply to lower key levels no longer apply the higher you go
One of the biggest things is that people dont want to do a key that isnt io
I remember doing like 19s/20s last season with no tank
Like 16s cap out around 3400 for resi, people closer to 3400 are competing with your 3280
and with the ease of gearing a new toon (especially now) so many M+ tank mains have already swapped to Brew cause they know the deal. If you want to pug IO, play meta
I'm considering leveling my demo lock because apparently demo is piss easy
Whether they need to or not is a entirely different argument, but this has been the way for years now
I timed like all 15s I should be qualified for the 16 invite
Demo is really cool!
I leveled a lock and mage, but I prefered playing frost mage
Last time I played warlock was in SL and I didnt particularly enjoy it but its been a while so maybe I'd mesh better with it now, esp after playing a lot of spriest
Yeah but mage isnt io meta 
Demo is a contender

Frost mage does seem like fun rn tho
Though I did just nab a myth stare out of raid so my shadow is gonna be blastin
I thought meta was UHK, Aug, and Dev
No u havent timed a 16
Tried putting certified tank password in note, 1 guy wisp me and told me the is the wrong password. Correct pw is "BrewMaSTeR" (case sensitive)
regardless, I aint about that meta life
Some people swap UDK for Demo lock
rather play some cool stuff
How can you be qualified for a 16 only by having timed a 16?
Still brings a rez, plus gate skips for dungeons like MT and healthstone
And giga dam
there is no 'qualified' in LFG
Thats how pugging works
they don't want to be the group you time it with
the only thing that matters is 'you are the most desirable'
They want to know the tank knows knwo what they are doing so should have a 16 timed
Just because you did everything on a 15 doesn't mean someone should be like 'oh, this tank is qualified to tank a 16'
Sounds like a circular requirement
Pepega did you spend time in the pug trenches in previous seasons or is this your first time cuz you want the 3400 saddle?
You can only get a job if you 3 yrs of xp. You can only get xp by having a job
this has always been the way in pug world
just send them a dpic and an iq test certificate
This is first time going up without being the "correct m+ tank" for the season
IDK what to tell you; its toxic and time consuming which is why people stop pushing M+
When people talk about 1% inflation because of the 3400 saddle, I just figure most people will end up in this kind of situation
or they just have friends with resil
your mom has friends with resil

1% for na is like 3600 now isnt it (like 2 full key levels above 3.4k)?
Ppl who does not understand statistics
yeah, the 1% do matter jack shit for the saddle
1% rio goes up bc of ppl at 1%, gaining rio
3523
but it won't stay that way
itll keep going up
It is going up 70 rio per week rn
but theres 0 relevent historical data for a 1% bracket
so you have to chase the carrot
In EU
If i make 1 million alts and they all do a single +2 then will that make the top 1% threshold go down?
idk bro my only requirement for inviting people to a key is if they did that key one level lower
so no one has any idea how high itll go
I'm not inviting you for a two key level skip sry
yes
if +2 guys are in the pool
then yes
but it's not so much because of the +2, it's more because 1% is more then
Is more ppl*
Agree with this. Either guy should have timed some other dung at the key level or have done one below.. or other cases like they are alt or have a really good comp fit.. or its a low key and you dont care
you have to be really really bored and maso to push 1%
why would they care
they can just decline you and pick someone who has done it
as long as there is one
don't take that personally
look for another group and go on
He is talking about his own key requirement
Well sure. If worlds best tank is applying to my key and some guy who did like 1 level below then yes it doesnt matter, pick the world's best tank.
But in the real world the world's best tank isnt applying to the 16s
I won’t invite him yes
Overqualified ppl tag, I take overqualified ppl
exactly
in the real world a brew who only misses that dungeon for 16 resil will join
and they will leave you to rot in the queue
But tank privilege negates that a lot
Ok im sick of watching these 5 pending invites spin I'll try later. Its weird that 15s were super easy to get inv but starting at 16 ppl demand brew or mdi tanks
Cause prot can not self heal
clean your home, rub one out, do something useful
paint a picture of nim how you imagine him
Yea by useful, apply to the same group on my brew and then completely throw the key for revenge 
tenderly caressing your bald head
When you guys list keys you're getting people that have done that key level applying?
I can honestly say I haven't seen that.
It's always someone one or two key levels below it.
no but probably have done another dungeon at a higher level
then maybe it's the 7 brews also applying
I don't care if somebody timed an 18 POS I'm not inviting them to my 17 MC if they haven't done a 16 MC.
Actually I havent listed a single dungeon this season since getting invites has been (up to now) pretty easy
I just haven't seen people that have done that key level on that dungeon queue up is all
lmao tank privilege
Well ur doing +18s? Only 1% of population doing those
tried to help a friend with a 13 skyreach and we get to 2nd boss room, im pulling and a rogue just leaps into another construct and chain wipes us 
Usually people dont because theres no reason unless they cant get into the next level up and want to gamble for a 2chest or smthn
S'what I figure
I'll prolly do keys on pally tonight
I blast on ret
When is "non disruptive tuning" happening?
hey folks been wondering, is the gearing simular to last expansion where we prefere the extra ilvl from actualy drops over crafted with emballishment ?
Yes that is mostly true but imo it’s negligible
the .7 probably
Blizz hates rocking the boat on tuning this late into a patch
they usually also a do a rework or two during a .7 patch
Hunter got reworked again in .5
Ive not had an issue with invites but my highest key is with friends. 17 but then have a bunch my best is 12. Just havent cared to play higher, just hasnt been that fun this season.
It’s the way, I just try higher keys to vault fill then
until next week
On my warlock i never get invites
The key system and grouping system needs revamped.
I don’t think it NEEDS one but I accept little changes
im not sure it does
im against a M+ solo que
If you want solo play, Delves are your content
oh sweet summer child
I think the resil system is a bit too potent
To push ? I do not believe solo queue will be used no
resil owns
its great at low levels
once it gets higher, Its a absolute pain
to the point where to time a higher key, you want someone with that key, at the right level on resil
so you can prog it
and everyone is doing it pushing the score needed for .1 higher then it honestly should be
at least thats my experience with it
I preferred when ppl wanted to leech off my key over my resil key now
I like resil because it's like a checklist almost
K I need this key and this key and this
I'll get resil 18s eventually
If I care enough
So a 289 bracer vs a 285 crafted with arcanoweave would be preferred or the difference is so minor it doesn't really matter?
I think its nice in theory, but for pushing for score it becomes a trickle down affect. Top team gets resil, they give resil keys to friends (or sell), who give it to their friends and so on and so forth
it punishes players pushing together
Can someone addopt me for a Chimaerus? 🤣🤣 Still didnt get to kill It yet!!!!😭
when the obvious strat is for everyone to go into LFG on there own and look for posted resil keys. When someone hits the new resil target, share wealth
rinse and repeat
You can sim it to get a real numerical difference, but ultimately imo no, the difference is going to be so small it’s essentially nonexistent in the context of gameplay
You’d gain/lose more dps by missing a few gcds than you would by changing the piece of gear
That’s how my guild is pushing 
But if it’s technically better, why not?
Someone gets resil, everyone gets it the next few days with his
Or, they could just get rid of depletes and cut rewards for failed keys
You get loot but no crests
if they want to rehash the key system and make it more 'group oriented' I think they should just do it like delves
where you go to the dungeon and can choose the level
unlocking new levels as you complete the harder difficulty
granted, it would remove the need to even hold a key as people can now just do whatever dungeon they want
but IDC if thats the case and I think most players would agree; would also make farming for a certain item easier
as you wouldnt need to go into LFG and search the key you want to do
Not timed, no loot. No key bricks ever. People can actually try new routes, builds and tech if they’re not worried about bricking keys.
Keys are terrible design. I should be able to practice X dungeon with my friends over and over until it’s perfect. As it is, the only way I can do that is by pugging which doesn’t help me tune my group’s comp, pulls and cds
IMO a key should be good for any dungeon and either be charged or uncharged.
If your key is charged you can use it start any key. Clearing one key level would allow your key to be used on the next step. If you brick the key, it loses charge it doesn’t lose level, you just need to complete a key to recharge it
I’d be fine with this compromise tbh
The concept of random keys is meant to drive community engagement but all it does is make getting the key you want a pain in the ass
so much of the community would end up just doing the same 10-12 eight times a week
then be like "why am I bored"
Ya but they already do that
If they want people to play all the dungeons have a weekly with clearing 6 as the goal. Crests reward or void core. Idc
Rotate the 6 required even. Or do clusters of 3 rotating (weekly) dungeons per quest
I thought of that... but yea, people already do that
find key in LFG thats quick and easy
^
reroll their own key away from a icky key
if no luck, back to LFG
quite frankly, the thing that has made M+ boring overtime has been removing affixes
which I think was the correct play all things considered
but dealing with a different nonsense each week did add some variance to gameplay
Not being able to reset and go again after a bad first or fourth pull is wild imo
If you are bored in m+ then you are doing key levels that are too low
even higher keys can be boring
The entire point of the system is that it’s ever scaling so you can get to a level that’s challenging you
granted, people get HOURS of gameplay from M+
Maybe. Or maybe they’re tired of progging with penalties
Now don’t get me wrong there are some real barriers to entry for some folks but that’s more of a community problem
Ultradon build?
Absorb trinket, there was an outlast build using it to solo 2v2. I don’t PvP anymore though so idk if it’s just a meme now
oh the Rextroy thing
naw, Im just playing arms
one of those
Transformers version please
^ Dracthyr fury war?
Hmmmmmm
oh yea, next tier is 100% a troll tier
i have no context at all what that means lol
¯_(ツ)_/¯
hammerdin time baby 🔨
This is the only thing i care about
yeah that's a great mount
So it looks like .7 is:
Two reused Legion invasion points
Borrowed Power Runes
Single boss raid with flex mythic
Troll themed lorewalker cho quest
hatch dragonhawk eggs
Troll/Haranir chain to set up 11.2
Turbulent Timeways w/ DF TW
"Once unlocked, you’ll be entrusted with the Omnium Folio, a runic ledger containing powerful runes of power you can use in battle."
oh shit, the runic ledger contains runes
not only that... powerful runes of power
gotta make people feel like they got no choice to come back
An uggo mount
+1 mount baybee
i gotta do like 15 more of the eversong void invasion point things so i can buy that mount
and then get the two from the ritual site this week
Thats an easy +3
I’m excited for the borrowed power
Hope it’s engaging and makes my spec more better
would be crazy if it made it worse
I don’t see on the .7 list the line about how many expected bugs there will be
5
that's generous
5 bugs my toon has to navigate due to their vibe coded slop is manageable
I’m so giddy about Harrow reading that sentence
AI wrote the post, it's ok
I keep falling over on 17 skyreach in the double stair room before the last boss(adepts, armor debuff dudes). I’m kiting (though maybe not effectively since space can be tight). Any tips y’all have?
i'm sorry but your toon has to suffer this slop to keep up the patch throughput
So much throughput rn
The debuff drops pretty quickly so you shouldn’t need a ton of space to drop it
Are you moving after a certain amount of stacks or are you always moving? For the armor piercing dude are you just kiting that too?
I believe the primary kiting debuff is the fire dot the adepts put on you. That isn’t to say you can’t kite the armor debuff either but I haven’t heard as much talk about that tbh.
Colossus shockwave talents. (Or just make your group use cc for once)
And the fire dot isn’t a constant kiting situation. It’s like stun and backpedal type deal
Or strafe away because the whole debuff only lasts like 3 seconds
For us strugglers, the platform is small and they still walk fast even with move speed reduc as you backpedal. It’s tricky for some of us 😬
The main point I wanted to convey is that it isn’t a constant kiting situation
Yeah that’s fully true
Same but different, I want to know strats for the Nexus Point heal absorbs
Thanks boys
To better answer your question, Strafe kite like Rhino said to stay fast. Backpedaling (probably) won’t work. And clear often. How many you can sit on is up to your healers gear/skill.
Here’s a visual. 6m17s
APOLOGIES for no idea, didn't realize the technical difficulty until after the key. Hopefully you can still get some valuable information from the VOD.

Been trying colossus in m+, damage feels solid. Is thane still much better though?
its 4% better, yes
Thank you!
thats not massive, so play what you feel is more fun
I love colossus and really want any of the top 500(thousand?) wars in m+ to run it so I don’t look dumb using it over thane
look dumb how?
blaze your own trail
its a game, dont worry about people judging you, we aint
100%
do you look dumb if you listen to songs that aren't in the current top 10
literally only takes 1 person to run it in a top key
I miss when coll had that giga dam. I did try it and it felt solid and tanky but missing that big hit fun.
“We wiped its definitely because you’re not Thane” type discussions
thats not a thing
yeah everyone points and laughs at me 
I won't 
furthermore colossus is 1% ahead in ST so 🤷♂️
Fair. I’ll try not to then. I really like the playstyle so I’ll keep at it
is 6 defenders livable with bloodlust
skill issue, look cooler
i look sexy as hell but they just cant comprehend it 
alright fine. time to listen to some meta songs
Hey guys it's me, sorry if my question is dumb or i didn't search far enough but is there any particular reasons why bloodmallet is simming only 1 trinket and there are no options to find the best combination of trinkets ?
On archon mt is the more popular one that means all the other ones bad
also all other issues or problems and bc of tank. Bad tank. 
the best thing to do would be to use raidbots and sim all trinket combos based on what you have available
Yeah i wanted to get the data without actually doing it 😄 Lazy thinking 🙂
otherwise, trinkets are pretty easy; if you have access to raid loot, any combo of Gaze, Heart of Mountain, Plume is bis
if not, Heart of Wind, Solerflare, Puzzlebox from M+ are decent
bloodmallet has never simmed combinations
its always been single trinkets with a template profile
im about to slam some LFR to see if i managed to fix my fps issues
How raidbots does sims is a black mystery box to me. For me a 263 ilvl crit trinket sims better than 6/6 mythic plum but for others its different. Literally no idea why im following the stat priority as it is written and at 277 so not like im stacking mastery or some bs
As Thane or Col ?
dont pay attention to him
Why ?
hard to put into words, but be my guest if you want to do so
Pepega is a known rage baiter
and he gets Nim's knickers in a twist
been like that for years XD
he still does not get sims are a character specific thing
and that means result A for character A vs result B for character B can be different and neither of those has a general answer for all characters
so he will keep looking for explanations outside of whats presented to him
I mean if it weren't a character specific thing no one would need to sim
Just one guy once
right
Make a bis list for everyone and no one needs to sim again until next season
yeah one guy did sim for me and they made the bis list and now i dont need to sim 
(this is bait)
does versa has a dependancy on other stats btw?
or does it just get stronger because the others get weaker because of dr
it's just flat x% dmg so it shoudn't have any dependancy apart from that
it works as any other secondary
I used to doubt raidbot A LOT and couldn't get why we should trust simulations data from outside the game. It was before i get my hands full of fingers on the github and play around APL and stuff. So that's why i don't throw him under the bus !
But this should be like the norm to know so i understand your perspective
im currently helping with the APL, so if you have any questions let me know
but no reason to tweak it otherwise
I think i already brought some issue i have with the talent Overwhelming rage which raise virtually the dps done with just adding rage pool
as far as i know thats just working as intended
bigger rage pool means more opportunity for spenders
iirc were you the guy that asked about it months ago?
because i brought it up with Mwahi and it really wasn't an issue
Yes unless someone else talked about it
My thinking behind it was since we're supposed to spend anyway before hitting cap, i thought it would be around the same, but that makes sense
In the sim?
or where does it increase the dps
