No way you still don’t have myth weapon

Feelsomegabad

jagged pier
#

i still have a hc one

#

for a shitty 10 man alt run without buff and ahc wep

#

ill take these

#

and these kekW

#

ignore the nexus one

maiden ravine
#

I'm using a heroic shield and weapon til I chain run skyreach enough but I have to imagine 22 ilvls on a shield is a decent bit of tankiness.

jagged pier
#

this bug in logs annoys me no end tho

#

have this on leaderboard

#

open log get an extra 6k dps

#

asked ppl from warcraft logs about it cause i noticed like 2 seasons ago, they had no answers for me

compact silo
#

why does it feel like shields broke slower last exp? by the time i finish a dungeon my shield could be sub 50% without even dying

crisp ocean
#

in a key just now, the other players kept getting aggro from the boss/mobs are they taunting or is it my problem

jagged pier
#

same pace as always

warm plinth
#

Without a log, we have no way of knowing that. But it would be weird for an accidental taunt to happen multiple times.

opal ledge
#

man they just buffed the no apex drud build by 45% dmg lol
thats insane

crisp ocean
jagged pier
#

it changes nothing

crisp ocean
#

so idk why

jagged pier
#

its still dumb to run no apex

opal ledge
#

why we only got like 5% buff?

compact silo
opal ledge
#

for druid it have a good chance it becames the meta, the no apex build...
200% buff on thrash is too much

jagged pier
#

no it doesnt

analog lily
#

Whats the % dmg buff for us?

jagged pier
#

because y not

analog lily
#

6%?

opal ledge
#

something like 5% i think

analog lily
#

Not bad

compact silo
#

thunderblast 30% feels massive

crisp ocean
analog lily
#

if you have a lot of leech

compact silo
#

pretty sure it was in protection patch, not fury

#

if you're asking about the spec

opal ledge
#

we could use a small defensive buff... we don't really need it but it would be nice

analog lily
#

I hope bliz buffs us more damage

#

So I can leech more lmao

#

The healing absorbtion is so annoying.

crisp ocean
#

why do I lose aggro, I was losing aggro in 2nd boss in nexus

compact silo
compact silo
crisp ocean
compact silo
#

that's the main part. idk either you have giga dps in your team or you're missing casts or something. ever have downtime where you're not pressing anything?

#

shouldnt be losing aggro 🤔

crisp ocean
compact silo
#

do they attack before you pull the boss?

crisp ocean
#

seems like he was pressing taunt or smth

warm plinth
#

Do you have a log?

crisp ocean
crisp ocean
#

nexus 2nd boss

analog lily
compact silo
#

that still doesnt give us much information about why you get aggro taken off you 🤔

compact silo
compact silo
#

battle scarred should save you for a brief time and ig you could somehow take second wind but idk how much that would help lol

calm plaza
#

anybody have a good prot warrior youtuber/content creator like Sha is for Brewmasters?

#

need some more resources for dungeon tips

compact silo
#

though if you use a defensive when they put the heal absorb you shouldnt take too much dmg until it gets healed up. i was doing a 17 and the healer had me topped off in about 3-5 seconds

analog lily
jagged pier
#

almost like indom dont do that much

compact silo
#

idk why ppl hate on it so much

#

saw the number 1 tank use it

warm plinth
#

They're human. They make suboptimal choices too.

compact silo
#

lmao

warm plinth
#

In fact, they're why I have this nickname.

compact silo
#

it seems it's not that suboptimal if they're in first place despite taking it 😛

warm plinth
#

That statement is made under the assumption that taking a suboptimal talent will somehow make you fail a key, which is a false assumption.

compact silo
#

idk that's how it feels when everyone spits on it so much

analog lily
#

Next week,leech more lmao

warm plinth
#

We shit on it because it's a mediocre talent; why would we encourage or not discourage you from taking it just because some random warrior timed a high key while using it?

jagged pier
#

i dont know where ppl are getting this from, from a quick look at actual logged 20 keys more ppl are runnign 4 apex than not

warm plinth
#

...huh?

compact silo
#

not talking abt apex

warm plinth
#

Just because you can still time a high key with the talent doesn't mean I'm gonna tell you to use the talent...that would be fucking stupid.

#

If it's a bad talent, it's a bad talent

#

Will you fail a key because you took it? No. But it's still bad, and I'm still going to tell you it's bad. That does not conflict with the point I made.

jagged pier
#

no one running indom in seat kekW

compact silo
#

it's not the worst by a long shot

warm plinth
#

When did I say it was the worst talent?

#

Show me

jagged pier
#

it is the worst cause it used to heal for 2% so was worth taking

#

now i have to have an endless conversation about it be a toss up at best

#

in genuinely think that LS is our worst talent tho

warm plinth
#

I would agree with that. Spellbreaker is also really bad but at least it doesn't reward shitty gameplay

raw perch

ty!

fringe mural
#

i was looking for cues around the boss

rotund lily
#

quick question , why do i see some people playing only one point in apex while others do full?

lusty grotto
#

see pins

#

but

#

its because it was abeta cook

#

and they just copied into live

#

and then everyone else copy pasted

#

but its no bueno

rotund lily
#

didn't see pins lol but ty

#

i saw that apex got changed a while back

lusty grotto
#

that didnt have an impact on it

#

it was no bueno to go 1/4 before those changes

#

you just didnt lose 5% dr, now you do

#

i recommend the standard Icy-Veins builds up to 18+

#

dont bother with even the pins

#

you can just swap to BSV easily

rotund lily
#

ok ty

#

btw do you think that execute up i gonna make the talents for it viable?

lusty grotto
#

thats what im working on figuring out

rotund lily
#

or there aren't enough flex points

lusty grotto
#

so stay tuned

rotund lily
#

i loved execute dmg in S2 and S3

hollow patio
frosty mango
#

hopefully we dont go back to execute

shrewd moss
frosty mango
#

bc that playstyle is ass

frosty mango
#

the mobs will continue to cast it if they start the cast while youre in range, if youre in range when the cast starts you cannot out range it no matter how far you go

#

so you have to wait until no mobs are casting, then leap out, let it drop, charge back

lusty grotto
frosty mango
#

your healer just failed you

hollow patio
frosty mango
#

if you look at the 10 second window before you die, your healer cast 3 regrowths while you have stacks

#

I guess technically speaking you did waste a lot of rage in that window (23% of it) but i dont think it would have kept you alive

#

ignore pain really doesn't do anything in that respect. the evoker should have dispelled you and the druid should have been pumping regrowths into you

#

playing the kite well may help but I doubt it saves you here, the dot is what killed you and you only had 3 stacks so imo this is not your fault

hollow patio
#

The Evoker did dispell him. On 3 stacks though

frosty mango
#

The first time around though, he sent it too early

#

Still not sure it would have mattered here, really just misplay by the healer

Hello, I've joined here to learn about Protection for Raids 🗞️ 🐛

How is execute a bad playstyle

#

Sexecute was fantastic

frosty mango
#

i hate it and ill die on that hill lol

shrewd moss
#

thanks for the feedback, y'all!

frosty mango
#

any playstyle that causes your dps to go down as the groups dps goes up because it stuffs your damage into a window that gets smaller and smaller as people gear feels bad and im dyin on muh hill

solid sun
#

So do higher keys so the enemy health goes back up

frosty mango
#

yes my stance is counterintuitive to the entire point of execute as a skill, don't judge me

warm plinth

I'd never judge you

how do you guys pull skyreach first pull, at or above +18? do you split first pull or go for whole platform ?

MDI does the two platforms, not the full platform, either way you cant expect an 18 to do the entire thing without coordination

i think you missunderstood me, whole platform like... to the stairs so
like this

Oh

I did 1-3 in one pull

But it was bloody

Again, fun but not smart

im looking at 18 routes

and split pulling is the go-to

fallow depot

wanted to ask, where do you actualy look for routes?

I usually pull the wind dudes and last pack with the guys at the top of the stairs

Or just the last two by themselves and take the whole next platform as one

22s yes

#

18s no

If you're looking for real high end routes, you talk with the rest of your premade group you play with and discuss what you want to see the least of and what you can stick together as much as possible without too much risk

It’s just hard because other DPS bring a lot more utility than they do

is there any use in using rally cry reactively? or should it only b eused proactively before dmg goes out? m+ btw (use as in effectivness)

More health means hp % based healing is more effective, but if you can rally proactively that tends to be better

You can learn to use it effectively to get big damage, just send it before you pull packs or when you’re not being swung on

you kite, your dps will hate you with lust

how much mastery we need for 100% crit block?

damn.. i first pull the middle room, 2 balanar packs and 2 little guy on the left ramp, burn lust

warm plinth
# opal ledge how much mastery we need for 100% crit block?

Not sure, but it's impossible to get there due to DR. We start at I believe 17.6% and each mastery point gives us 1.5% chance to crit block. Each mastery point is 46 rating, but you have DR on that at 30, 39, 47, 54, 66, and 126%. If DR didn't exist, you'd need 3791 rating, which is already impossible. But with DR it's a lot more.

just a quick mdt lol

if you go right... you kinda mess up the lust no?

It’s just I prefer to lust that thing than the left pull, imo

#

Yeah. Early pulls went right first to lust on the left boss

opal ledge
#

idk, losing lust during the golden bean thing, seems like a major dps loss for the run

#

Don’t you lose 1 lust if you lust on the first boss you pull ?

abstract arch
#

Yeah which is why you lust 1st pull and nysarra

#

But thats going left first

tropic pond
opal ledge
#

i usually dont pull see at fisrt i just grab it later and when he is the only one alive i chain to the next pull

tropic pond

if thats the case than the bloodlust value is really decreasing, if chainpuling then the dps, and healer already blow cd for most value i think it have to be group up together first time

but thats the second pull

but the timer is no so tight to it doent matter tho

Is mitigated a key category I should be looking at in logs for a warcraft logs for survivability? If so what is a good percentage range?

warm plinth
#

You want to look at Damage Taken > Melee > Hits; if you hover over that number, you'll see the % of blocked hits. You can check the Hits column for other blockable mechanics too (e.g. any tankbusters or hard hits that are blockable), but Melees are what you take the most so it's generally what you'd look at first.

wanton void
#

Thanks!

warm plinth
#

You want to be at least over 90% in that number, as close to 95% as you can get (it's technically possible but highly unlikely you will get 100%; I've literally never seen a 100% blocked hits log)

My fellow Spell Reflecters.

I have been trying to reflect the "tri-beam" on L'ura in Seat of the Triumvirate.
However, it feels a bit random as when it connects or not.

Does anyone have an idea about the timing? I feel like I have to "take" the first tick? I'm not sure.

Good Morning everyone (morning iaccording to Italy), I have a quick question on shields and the Pyrium Shield Spikes: I've seen a handful of tanks with the spikes applied to ilevel 289 shields for example, how did they do it when the item states an 80 ilevel for application?

Yeah that's perfectly fine

i think 5% were backshots and 1% was non-active sb

more or less

U itf or hr?

fringe mural
#

hr

jagged pier
#

Yer about standard

fringe mural
#

I pressed sb too late at one pack

jagged pier
fringe mural
#

Yeah shame on me

fringe mural
#

but i will probably wait until next id to try

#

hardest part would probably be to keep sb up in a boss fight with ranged dps and no adds

#

when itf is at 2% all the time

jagged pier
#

Yer so u use eyes

#

Dont send when boss cast etc

fringe mural
#

but yeah ty

jagged pier
#

Yer ppl dont u would be surpised

#

I just press sb with not hought

#

Of the boss is casting for 6 seconds

#

So now u wasted a charge

#

Or u got to move away

fringe mural
#

given that, it's probably better to use itf to learn your class in the first place

#

so you have to have unagi

#

to not die

#

because hr saves your ass when you use sb in a stupid way

#

what is our cpm for thunderblast roughly?

#

blast not clap

jagged pier
#

It sits under tc on logs

#

So couldbt tell yah

fringe mural
#

because the 8% dr only last 5 seconds

#

from tb

#

so if you have less than 12 cpm there's definitely downtime

#

and 8% dr is a lot

#

and tc doesn't apply the dr debuff on enemies does it?

jagged pier
#

Your over thinking its fine, its not somthing we think about its a nice to have when its up

fringe mural
#

i mean yeah of course you can't really do much

#

besides maybe prioritizing tb over ss even with 1 stack if the debuff is about to fall off

#

but that is really hard to decide in the heat of the moment

If I only kill the first two bosses in the Voidspire on Mythic, will my weekly chest only contain loot from those two bosses?

As soon as you have killed a raid boss its loot is in the pool you can get from vault. If you only kill a „later“ boss you also have the items from bosses before in your vaut pool (but dont ask me if saladar will be included if you killed vorasis or the other way round)

I'm searching everywhere what is the BIS gear to have for PVP and what is priority of stat we need to have
I used to see : MAIN / VERSATILITY / HASTE / MASTERY / CRIT but I saw and murlok that more and more people switch MAIN / VERSATILITY / MASTERY / HASTE / CRIT and i would like to have your advice cause gear is so long to farm, i don't wanna make a mistake , does MASTERY can be better than HASTE ?

this is not even 2% overcap

oh yer now i understand

feel free to help me do more damage if you can

jagged pier
#

well get that under control

#

then come back

sweet egret
#

where did you find it? I did two MC 16 since then and also changed my rage bar to change color at 70

jagged pier
#

resource tab and chagne it to rage instead of health points

sweet egret
#

so it could be better

#

hm nope, still looks high

#

idk what to do then like, I am pressing ip at 70+ rage and I am really not noticing reaching 100

fringe mural
#

try to check what happens when ravager procs

#

or you pull big groups

#

that's when there'll be lots of rage spikes

sweet egret
#

I wonder if I can add a sound cue at like 90 rage somehow

fringe mural
#

once above 70

sweet egret
#

me too

#

I did that change yesterday

fringe mural
#

i only use sound cues for my dmg cds which helped a lot in keeping them on cd

#

and shield charge

#

i forgot it too often before

#

now i don't

sweet egret
#

I think it is just like you said that during big pulls when I am focusing on the mobs instead of my rage I let the rage cap sometimes

#

so in those situations I think I could use a sound cue to help with that while my visual focus is otherwise engaged 😛

fringe mural
#

while ravager is up you get so much rage you can usually just spam ip

sweet egret
#

I cant see an option for a sound cue in arcui..

fringe mural
#

i don't think that's allowed anymore

#

but not sure

wanton void
fringe mural
#

and then rage

warm plinth
fringe mural
#

but is 0 waste really something people achieve?

#

like 100% sb

#

where we strive for 95%+

warm plinth
#

I mean, I had a floodgate last season where I generated like 24k and change rage and wasted less than 100

#

And I'm very mid at the game

jagged pier
fringe mural
#

okay cool i didn't know that

#

probably just a matter of practice

jagged pier
warm plinth
#

Yeah and it's just to reinforce the observation of your rage bar. He's not bad for having that amount of waste; just has room for improvement

fringe mural
#

so he wasted 5 more, which is not even one proc of Violent Outburst is it?

#

i was just wondering because you mentioned this as a reason for his low dps

#

ah no that was another dude

#

he had more rage waste

jagged pier
#

thats the first one of my keys i looked at for wasted rage

#

just u can have very low wasted rage

#

the lower the better u can get to 0 tbh

fringe mural
#

yeah i get that, i was just wondering if that really makes that much of a difference for your dps

#

unless you have 1000s of wasted rage

jagged pier
#

think of a ball of snow rolling down a hill

#

thats how this class works

fringe mural
#

because every 250 is like two shield slams missed

jagged pier
#

with rage and dps and rage gen

#

the more u spend the more u gain

#

the more damage u do

#

more VOs

#

more avatars

#

more TBs because more avatars

wanton void
#

Is there a guide I could read for the best way to analyze my logs and how to improve using that data?

fringe mural
#

i get the causality

#

i just didn't see how big the effect was

#

at those numbers

jagged pier
#

more rage from more TBs and VOs more its and endless cycle

fringe mural
#

so is interest but with 2% interest you're still not getting rich

#

even when you get interest on your interest

#

it's obviously something you work on, but maybe another source is responsible for the discrepancy in dps

#

like wrong priority or low cpm idk

#

or you guys pull more mobs because you feel more confident

#

which is the main source of dps afaik, big pulls

#

and thunderblasts in those pulls

#

well, they are apparently buffing it on wednesday

cerulean tusk
#

I dont even remember the math we did on it anymore, wasnt it like a 30-40% buff needed to make it rage efficent for Col?

For Thane tho, maybe it will be worthwhile to care?

#

It already is a DPS increase, so in theory it will be worth. Worthwhile the effort to keep it in mind while tanking keys? Probably not

drowsy comet
#

Whoopp whoop

lusty grotto
#

well

#

i have good news for some and bad news for others

#

when it comes to execute

#

specifically in AOE

#

the good news is:

  • i dont have to make prio changes
  • if you dont like executing in AOE youre gonna be fine @frosty mango and whoever else

the bad news is:

  • heavy handed or any combination of execute talents with it in AOE is a dps loss over the current build
#

the only thing i need to check are target counts

#

so if youre an execute/hh enjoyer in aoe, you might still have a chance

frosty mango
#

With the change to ground current I was curious if the 30% proc rate from gathering would outpace thorims might in non execute builds

#

I was going to futz with my profile tonight but maybe you already did it monkahmm

lusty grotto
#

there's a lot of combinations

#

i will say this though

#

deep wounds might shift the prio

frosty mango
#

done the sim change yet but napkin math to me looks like gathering + ground current is a pretty good bump

#

all things being equal

lusty grotto
#

i havent checked colossus either cause just in case there's a small bump in execute usage due to DW + Arterial

frosty mango
#

it is a pretty large rage drop though, 900-1100 rage over the course of a key for dropping it

frosty mango
lusty grotto
#

agreed, but i still gotta check it out and confirm

frosty mango
#

heavy is the head

lusty grotto
#

the more i do APL shit, the more im convinced about the claim that talents affecting ability power should just get baked in

#

or at the very least heavily condensed

#

idea, not claim

frosty mango
#

FFXIV has a much more straightforward system, though it does cause other issues in it's simplicity

cerulean tusk
#

wadner Nim did all that math, just to get to the conclusion I had with a napkin and a crayon

lusty grotto
#

yes, ty cat

frosty mango
#

wow could benefit from changing the way they handle scaling though by assigning base damage and scaling from there instead of using overlapping coefficients

lusty grotto
#

i dont think AP scaling is bad, its just spirals out of control when you add in different talents and effects such as making deep wounds into what it is now in Midnight or even ground currents/lightning strikes

#

but yeah i do agree potency is very straightforward

Hello, any guide on how to handle the first room of Algethar when you are not a dwarf ?

frosty mango
#

Sha has a pretty decent runthrough here for different classes

#

for warrior specifically, the TLDR is

  • Don't get hit in the back
  • Leap away when you're at about 3 stacks to let it drop and charge back
  • You are somewhat dependent on your healer if dps takes too long to kill

thats what i've learned

I regularly have sub 80% block rate in weekly 10 keys because I know my hp is not going below 90 regardless

Just communicate with your healer. Pop shieldwall after gather, reset with leap/Kite on 5 Stacks, use second shieldwall for second phase of 5 Stacks. If all Lashers still live at this point you lack dps

lusty grotto
#

its not that you lack dps

#

its that dps isn't prio targetting the big lashers as they should be doing

autumn heron
#

Not YOU

lusty grotto
#

i understood what you meant

#

read what i wrote

autumn heron
#

If you dont have atleast 1 singletarget burn/funnel class the group is build wrong from the getgo. First lasher should be dead by the time you dropped the first set of stacks

#

10m hp isnt that much to burn thru with bl

lusty grotto
#

while funneling helps, its will be rougher if your dps isnt prio targetting from the get go, that's the catch all

#

if they are yolo padding, that shit aint going anywhere

autumn heron
#

100%

wicked lantern
lusty grotto
#

im not exactly new to pugging

#

if they fail to do so, it is what it is, go next

#

you aint doing high keys without people having their brain switched on

#

and prio targetting is fundamental to it

autumn heron
#

My point is, you CAN and WILL live the whole first room if played correctly. Waiting for the first lasher to die before pulling the third is quite a big timeloss and can cause a deplete, among other things

lusty grotto
#

any dps that does not prio target has no business being in a key after 17+

autumn heron
#

Now. Realtalk. How do you do first pull in skyreach

lusty grotto
#

anything up to 19 can be done with a split pull

after 19, you need to do the entire platform
