#

we can do it by talenting fearless and pressing berserker rage

naive ravine
#

Or use avatar

#

Avatar should also work

sweet egret
#

avatar doesn't work

fringe mural
#

avatar won't work anymore

#

it has no snare removal

#

it's the berserker rage talent this season

true idol
#

you really cant afford to do 4 individual pulls on the subjugators, and with lust that first pull should die relatively fast. with your comp you have tigers lust, vanish/cloak, aug can have a breath available, etc

sweet egret
#

the team just needs to do their job and it's all blasting down fast with no deaths ezclap

#

the pull is fine

#

it's not AA

blazing shuttle
#

4 deaths on the first pull at the FIRST chains.

#

I wish I was joking.

#

Also, is it really worth to talent Zerker rage for the chains removal?

#

If so, what talent would you remove?

naive ravine
#

Depends on if u can live it

blazing shuttle
#

I can

true idol
#

i dont but if your party is light on removals you might do it to help your healer

blazing shuttle
#

And I can also make the healer''s job easier

fringe mural
#

for example

blazing shuttle
#

Fair yeah might do that

#

thanks

fringe mural
#

but since it's the only situation where you can't move

#

and you don't have to move

#

you can just use wall

#

or sr

blazing shuttle
#

Or save a wall and use zerker

fringe mural
#

i mean the wall against the mobs in the first place

#

not the chains in particular

naive ravine
#

XD

blazing shuttle
#

Hmm

#

True.

fringe mural
#

you don't need wall for group 2 or 3

#

or the boss

#

so why not

blazing shuttle
#

The only thing on the boss you need is SR

#

lmao

fringe mural
#

exactly

naive ravine
#

Can reflect every tank buster

blazing shuttle
#

(God please Blizzard don't take SR from us)

stoic hound
#

I saw a couple of videos where this seat fp is not ranked as the hardest fp this season, but for me it is the hardest one, these chain pulls packs with champions might easely go out of control

blazing shuttle
#

FP?

#

Flashpoint?

#

You from Swtor too?

naive ravine
#

first pull

blazing shuttle
#

The only dangers on seat is the first pull, and uh

#

The balls on the final room

#

Because you know how DPS love 'em balls

-# I like field dressing. It's nice.

naive ravine
#

it is in fact not standard

sweet egret
#

what do you take instead?

#

intervene? leeching strikes? frothing berskerer?

fringe mural
naive ravine
#

that is the normal tree

fringe mural
sweet egret
naive ravine
#

Sadly field dressing does rly nothing

blazing shuttle
#

No +3% leech?

naive ravine
#

It does less then pain and gain

naive ravine
blazing shuttle
#

Tbf I'm not overcapping THAT much.

naive ravine
#

You shouldnt overcap at all

blazing shuttle
#

I know.

#

That's why I'm not talenting it.

sweet egret
#

the problem with overwhelming rage is that it's behind frothing berserker which we dont want as thane afaik

#

I'd love to take overwhelming rage but not for 2 talent points

fringe mural
#

the one i posted is the "guide" talent tree, of course you can adjust what you like, but if we call something standard, that is

naive ravine
sweet egret
#

yes

#

I am well aware

sweet egret
# fringe mural

in this tree I would just move intimidating shout to fearless for snare breaking

fringe mural
#

intim shout is not really necessary in seat

#

frothing would gain me let's see

#

i have about 15 cpm revenge

#

15 x 0.5 x 0.2 = 1.5

#

so 1.5 revenges per minute

#

that's 45 rage?

naive ravine
#

So you want to say that 0 rage gain is better for prot warrior then a minor amount?

fringe mural
#

or 60, idk

#

oh not even

#

30 rage per minute for frothing

#

that's not really a lot

#

easy to find a better talent tbh

naive ravine
#

Any amount of rage is better then 0

fringe mural
#

of course

sweet egret
#

I didn't do any math on it but since we skip frothing and take field dressing as a general rule I just vibe with it and don't worry about it (from the icy veins dungeon thane talent build)

#

these are from a 17 and a 16 I did

#

you said 30 rage per minute for 15 cpm of revenge? and I have half of that

fringe mural
#

and i am bad

#

so i use more revenge

#

😄

#

for you it would be 15 rage per minute correct

#

idk if it even refunds rage for revenge! procs

#

but it probably does

#

field medic increases ip absorb by 10% so you have 16 ip cpm

#

or 13

#

but at least 10

naive ravine
#

WHat

#

it does not

fringe mural
#

it does

naive ravine
#

Who said that

fringe mural
#

i saw someone post it here

#

counts as self healing

naive ravine
#

Yeah someone post it here doesnt rly cut it

fringe mural
#

okay well

#

we can ask the experts or test it

#

idk

#

we had the discussion for those talents a while ago here

fringe mural
#

i think petri had 10% more absorb but didn't test thoroughly, and the spell page doesn't include ip

#

so it's probably the latter, but doesnt have to be

naive ravine
#

Yeah petri is playing last stand indom and says he is more tanky

fringe mural
#

i just tested myself

#

and ip values don't change

#

depending on talent

naive ravine
#

I would love that healing increase with old indom

fringe mural
#

idk if tooltips are to be trusted but well

naive ravine
#

Its blizzard

#

Dont trust anything KEKW

fringe mural
#

best was in dota when it was a wc3 map still

#

there was this really strange bug where the game would crash when abaddon did his absorb shield

#

abaddon being the model of death knight arthas on his horse, idk if you played it

#

but the best thing is

#

the bug would only occur in the mac version of wc3

#

no one fucking believed me until we were enough mac users with the issue

#

and icefrog tested with me and fixed it afterwards

#

it was crazy :-D, but blizzard

fringe venture
#

I'm not expert at all, but on logs, IP appears as self healing, so wouldnt It get benefit from self healing increasing talents?
BC as Petri does, I also go on self healing talents and I find them kinda usefull, but ofc I might be absolutely wrong

naive ravine
#

Absorb and healing is not the same

serene wave
#

Thank you mate

Hey guys just starting as tank never tried tanking before, can anyone tell me if there’s a macro like a mouse over for healers where I can press taunt on a player’s frame and taunt whatever is attacking them?

#

And if you have any tips for reaggroing mobs very quick I’d appreciate

sweet egret
#

thunder clap go boom

true idol
#

targeting doesnt work like that. you can taunt someones target or the target of their target but not just magically taunt whatevers hitting someone

#

yeah just hit thunderclap

true idol
#

or if a pull really goes haywire chall shout

maiden quiver
#

Alright, so Im at around 3k and got there just doing my own routes never looking at guides. Now im starting to hit a point where I feel like my routes arent the best, and want to learn, but im finding it difficult to actually learn the routes, I can put it into MDT but its hard trying to constantly consult the addon to see what to pull next. Any advice on the best way to learn the meta routes?

marsh tiger
#

Repetition mostly. If you have two monitors, take a snippet of the route and throw it on the other monitor. Know where you are in the dungeon based on your mdt map. Learn the names of the mobs. See if you can recreate the route in mdt on your own

#

And give yourself mental shortcuts like "im going left out of the hallway and need everything along the wall"

naive ravine
fringe mural
#

does mdt mark the mobs like lindormi does?

That list is so out of bounds, you need 280 ilvl on a fresh char to do 10s?

i have a hot but simple take

Double down on 1/4, get another set of buffs

tribal wharf
#

shouldnt it be DUNGEON IO

cerulean tusk
#

do it for the spec

tribal wharf
#

instead of RAIDER io?

#

if the score you get is from running dungeon

#

unless, thats how mythic raid leaders gauge how to invite ppl with no raid xp, is thier io score?

At which key level is it recommended to switch to the more defensive build? The icy veins guide just say "higher keys".

ionic fern
#

Some people don't feel comfortable on a +5 already,so in that case they can swap to a defensive build. Other people smash 19s going full offensive.

So,swap whenever you feel like you need more defensive value.

#

can someone paste me kick focus with alt macro

warm plinth
#

Like where it kicks focus with the mod or kicks target with the mod and focus by default

pastel summit
#

I forgot how to incorporate modifier into the exists function so it'd cast on target if you didn't have a focus but

pastel summit
warm plinth
#

It's unnecessary to have the no mod part

pastel summit
#

If focus kick doesn't work you have the bind elsewhere so just keybind it then wipe the slot

pastel summit
#

I just workshopped an old macro I used for everything

warm plinth
#
/cast [mod:alt,@focus,exists][]Pummel```
pastel summit
#

#showtooltip storm bolt
/cqs
/startattack
/cancelaura bladestorm
/cast [nomod] storm bolt
/cast [mod:alt, @focus] storm bolt

#

Dusty old things

pastel summit
warm plinth
#

Yeah you can either do the second empty set of square brackets, or just put a semicolon after the Pummel and put Pummel again

#

like

#

/cast [mod:alt,@focus,exists]Pummel;Pummel

#

Both will cause the macro to perform the default action for the spell if the conditions of the first part aren't met

ivory barn
#
/use [@mouseover,harm,nodead][@target]Kick```
#

thats what I do

warm plinth
#

Yeah but you don't need the @ target because that's the default behavior of the spell

#

Empty brackets would do the same thing

pastel summit
#

oh yeah and /use is functionally the same just shorter

#

dont think i changed my storm bolt macro since like bfa although needed a new one for slayer eventually

every single item is an upgrade right now

i think i'll use all on seat, aside from rings every item on myth track is gonna be an upgrade

hexed moth
#

yes put in your mind most of items catalyst are bis, such as waist feet tier sets except hand

flint oriole
#

have someone a build for tank up to +16 keys

i'll run dungeons tomorrow with my guildies, got declined 20 mins straight haha

#

and right now they are traveling to my city for a bbq so noones online xD

also if you run on dung and it have multi bis, stick with it

#

until u get it all this will give u better chances

i know, its not my first toon, dk and pally already 3.4k

but i was asking about warr because murlok io/icyveins/wowhead differ on bis and where to spend rolls

pallid quiver
ivory barn
#

its a rogue lmao

pallid quiver
#

Loosely, raid trinkies will likely be the hardest thing across all xpacs as a tank to get (unless they're specifically tank trinkets ofc) due to highest competition and rarest source

#

Other items can have very high immediate value impact, like a Myth track shield or wep

#

And then ofc there's filling jewelry slots to enable you to hit stat breakpoints if there's any you want to reach as well as just targetting low ilvl slots

A lot of this rolls back into the crafting system we have now, too

#

It's pretty easy to get a shield that's almost max ilvl by just crafting it

ivory barn
#

crafting shields are great

pastel summit
#

They're the best way to guarantee you get a myth one.

hexed moth
#

shaild from raid first boss mythic is free can replace craft one

with squishy dps toons you set her as tank

#

Hey guys, going to level up a prot war as an alt. I assume with the amount of sparks available at this point in the season the best crafts would be weapon (no embellishment) and then back and bracers w arcanoweave?

undone beacon
#

Shield > Weapon > Embel Pieces

#

Unless you're going into mythic raid, then its Weapon > Shield if no drop > Embel pieces

next knoll
#

Ah okay cool. Should have enough for all at this point right? 10 sparks now I believe?

undone beacon
#

Theres 10 available sparks, so 5 crafts total

#

Correct

next knoll
#

Sweet

undone beacon
#

Your bottleneck will be crests if you want them all at max crafted, as each myth craft is 80 crests

next knoll
#

Yeah I should be able to get those pretty quickly but I’ll just craft w sparks and no crests and recraft later

undone beacon
#

A valid plan

#

You can also send your 6 bonus rolls and see what you pull from those before commiting crests to craft

next knoll
#

Yeah I was just about to ask…what’s generally the recommended use for the rerolls? Keys or raid?

#

I guess it largely depends on what you can accomplish?

undone beacon
#

For alts, keys. Rolling on a 10+ gives you myth pieces for one roll, versus needing to kill a myth boss and spend two rolls

next knoll
#

Yup makes sense

undone beacon
#

If you want to spend in raid, trying to pug myth chim and roll a gaze is your best bet

#

Otherwise, especially for alts, just blasting through 10s and clearing a dungeons loot table is a good call

#

I'm taking my lock through WRS 6 times and cleaning that loot table haha

next knoll
#

Yeah I’ll probably do keys first to gear up to be able to get into myth chims

undone beacon
#

You can also only roll a specific boss once a week so if you only want to roll chim, you're safe to spend the other 4 in keys

#

unless you really want to pug imperator/vorasius as well and send them there but

#

You're getting half the loot you could be otherwise

next knoll
#

Yeah makes sense

#

For the last two sparks, probably ring or neck?

#

So shield, weap, wrist, cloak and then see what drops in those slots and craft the other?

undone beacon
#

I'd say depends on what you roll out of dungeons. Honestly the two biggest pieces that matter are shield and weapon, you could hold off on wrist/cloak and not notice a real impact

next knoll
#

Gotcha, makes sense. Thank you

I mean, that’s not accurate though

lusty grotto

whats not accurate

chrome hull
#

Pull Skyreach top 100 for example. Col is absolutely competitive on dps

lusty grotto
#

since when are we judging a spec based on a timeframe of exactly 3 mins?

#

colossus was already down 4% on aoe

#

BEFORE thane got buffed

chrome hull
#

Who’s looking at 3 minutes. This is full key

lusty grotto
#

now its down 8%

#

youre basing your claim off what?

#

which logs

#

because thats the only thing you have

#

meanwhile thane sims just flatten colossus

chrome hull

Sims. My man. Who cares about sims. Sims aren’t real

lusty grotto
#

we fucking do

chrome hull

Ok

because if the players youre looking at logs from played thane, their overall would be much higher

Maybe we all should find a different discord if we’re not going to evaluate real world results and players

lusty grotto

ah yes, one of those

we do evaluate real players, when they ask for help

whether X player is running X build is of no relevance

they are not asking for help

# opal ledge is boosting still a thing? is it legal?

Selling boosts for ingame currency isnt just allowed, it is supported.

What isnt: is boosting through a out of game community or doing boosting advertisements in the wrong places.

You are allowed to gather some friends (the ones who fill the party), or as a guild advertise selling boosts in /services. You are allowed to boost for gold or barter, as long it is done within the confined of ingame. So you can sell a boost for gold or trade example a Raid boost 1 boss, for 8 weekly keys. You are not allowed to trade 8 weekly keys, for a boost in a classic raid or a match in League. It must remain within WoW and the version of WoW.

You cant use 'carry offered' LFG to advertise, nor use it to set up for gold boosts. That channel is only for people who wants to boost others for simple fun. No gold sales, no barter.

You are allowed to boost through deals made in whispers initiated by the buyer engaging with interest. You are not allowed to whisper others first to advertise, nor steer the conversation into the question being made.

Tldr: Yes, and, yes if within the rules set.

It it works the same as TWW you don't get the discount on say legs if none of your character have maxed legs even with the achievement tho

The achievement is active once unlocked for all characters and encompasses all gear. It's not slot specific.

I'm really not sure about that

I'm gonna be 285 soon with an heroic belt and I dont think my alt will have the discount active on it's myth belt

Yep that's what I meant

And it should also work both ways, if I do upgrade my alt's belt for full price then when I do get a myth belt on the main it will have the discount

the discount at least up to heroic is bound to the of the dawn achievement

so once one of your characters is hero of dawn i.e. has 276 in every! slot

you can upgrade heroic items at half price on every toon

#

i know for sure it is not bound to slot

It's important to pump your ilvl as high as possible

crisp ocean
#

yea but if I use a toon for different specs or smth

fringe mural
#

and will be good as tank and offense

#

master/crit and versa are very close and depend on your gear while haste is the best stat for prot

#

for fury haste is also the best stat and mastery comes next

#

so you should be fine with prioritizing haste in general and then leaning towards mastery

#

the first diminishing return point only starts after 1300 for most stats, which is not really achieved in s1

#

so haste + good distribution among the others is generally a good approach
