Crit doesn't effect block because it's our mastery.

ember arrow
#

crit is displayed as chance to deal double dmg and/or healing

#

critblock isnt in there

weary notch
#

right, but I could see how that could be confusing to someone brand new

lapis gazelle
#

Yeah

#

It's still crit so someone could think it would work

#

Should've called it MEGABLOCK

ember arrow
#

someone's lack of knowledge justm eans they have to do research

kind urchin
#

It does effect parry though. At a less diminshed rate now than in Legion.

#

Does anyone know if the token roll at the end of a mythic + dungeon will be able to give an azerite piece of gear

chilly brook
#

But why would you want to parry?

final mist
#

Parrying is quite good, in terms of damage reduction (since, y'know, you take no damage at all).

#

It's just unreliable.

chilly brook
#

And yields no rage

final mist
#

Except we don't generate RFDT anymore in BfA.

shut summit
#

@stuck oxide azerite armor doesnt drop from m+

chilly brook
#

I’m being lied to by wowhead then

final mist
#

Rage isn't gained as a percentage of damage taken - you lost out on 3 Rage from a parried or missed attack.

#

In return for not taking damage at all.

#

There's a difference between bad and unreliable.

amber siren
#

I can't believe blizzard is stealing my 3 rage

#

When will this bad company shut down

chilly brook
#

I mean that’s still rage from damage taken

final mist
#

No, because it's only melee attacks. Anything else doesn't give us Rage anymore, hence RFDT has been removed.

#

You could argue that it still "exists", but it's quite different from it's Legion incarnation where Rage was gained as a percentage / proportion of each attack, and in BfA, the Rage lost as a result of a parry isn't actually all that much since we get 100% DR (effectively), as well as a free Revenge / Shield Slam reset chance.

chilly brook
#

It does

#

An auto attack is still damage

#

Saying that it’s changed is an accurate statement

#

Saying it doesn’t exist isn’t

final mist
#

But it's not RFDT, it's RFMT. It's completely different in how it works.

#

Regardless, I'm not arguing semantics. Parry is perfectly good and fine, it's just unreliable.

amber siren
#

Acronyms skyhold

kind urchin
#

It does end up giving you more free revenges which increases your damage output and save rage for more defensive abilities.

#

I think I saw someone say a coupke days ago that parry haste is no longer in the game. It would have a lot more value especially with devastator if parry haste was still in the game.

#

Couple*

amber siren
#

I don't get it

#

I mean I think I do

#

But I don't really

torn ice
#

i don't get why we are talking about parry we cant really control how much we get for the most part. I comes from str so unless you are wearing int gear your gonna have it. With trinkets we are gonna go with what ever has the best survivability on it wither it has str or stam or what ever.

kind urchin
#

Crit gives parry too.

amber siren
#

Yeah the conversation on parry was more of a segway from the crit block question, no one was really advocating to stat crit to parry more

astral crystal
#

confirmed for really good by blue names

#

@kind urchin parry haste isn't in the game anymore?

#

Where did you hear that?

#

@kind urchin free revenges does not save you rage, unless you are using Vengeance which you ordinarily won't be

#

Because you can just cast Devastate instead

tiny sphinx
#

last i heard it was removed from pve encounters, so bosses couldn't parryhaste mollywhop you like fuggin brutallus or magtheridon used to

stray wedge
#

Free revenge just means extra damage, not saved rage, if you don't have devastator and you don't have vengeance - and you shouldn't have either

#

Ah. Enemies had parry haste removed ages ago. But as far as I know it is still in the game for players. It certainly was in Legion

tiny sphinx
#

but the DR to parry and dodge made it far less valuable as a mechanic

#

does it even apply during die by the sword?

#

because if not, i want retaliation back instead

stray wedge
#

Yes it did apply during die by the sword. It is/was a DPS increase to taunt the boss with 100% parry to get a few extra melee swings in

tiny sphinx
#

crazy min-maxers, you're all nuts!

stray wedge
#

@flat oracle's favourite

crimson quarry
#

the whole str raising IP being dumb thing, i think preach said it best- this is paraphrasing but blizz is so wrapped on babying the casual player because of the DERP DEE DUHR to secondary stats, they just eliminated secondary stats (so not to confuse them) and made str a stat that will be given exponential more on gear in bfa and hence they shouldnt be confused on which is the upgrade

#

which i think is dumb by the way, because some casuals were gearing wrong- lets just take secondary stats away

amber siren
#

Classes having to use 880 arcano crystals instead of 970 trinkets is not good game design in any shape or form

#

Fury having to use a trinket from nighthold with a busted proc that was nerfed and changed and yet still remained BiS is not good game design

#

Prot was fortunate that ilvl was for the most part was best simply because it was that str was just too important

#

And won't change in BFA

sick sentinel
#

@undone sun haha didnt you use to have like 6 action bars

undone sun
#

haha

sick sentinel
#

haha

undone sun
#

still technically do, just out of combat

chilly brook
#

I mean let’s be honest

#

That’s a problem with titanforging not with secondary stats

crimson quarry
#

i agree its dumb, more options always better but ive seen it with all the classes, bliz is going to center everything around your primary stat

#

why bdks are so mad, no haste no rune regen- bad times

#

i hope blizz has an ace up its sleeve in azerite armor 😛

broken kite
#

i dont understand the hate towards tf/wf

#

i would do much much less content without it

#

something goes from "well there's no point me doing this beyond some weekly reward i might get" to "might get a tf/wf that makes doing this worth it"

#

but thats just me 😄

amber siren
#

I like it, only reason why I still run Antorus 🤷 Getting good gear is fun, idc if some LFR guy gets a 980

broken kite
#

i think increasing the potential cap to tf in mythic content could solve a lot of peoples issues with it

merry cave
#

Because some people tie there self worth to there ilvl and can't handle others being as high

#

Because God forbid there precious internet ego can't be stroked

gentle raft
#

if you do mythic you do have much better gear than people who don't. it makes no sense to envy people because of random tf procs. Anyway, I have thought about leveling and good legendaries for it and due to stats depeciating during it aggramar's stride should lose value and give less and less speed boost as you do - contrary to rethu's. Does any of you happen to know how the stats lose value up to 116?

eternal roost
#

id imagine that its disabled at 116

broken kite
#

he knows that

#

hes asking how useful the boots will be up until then due to secondary stats decreasing in value

gentle raft
#

Exactly. I am trying to assess what will be better for my plate wearers. All the crafted ones are surprisingly good for leveling. Healing which reduces downtime & gives speed -- optimal.

strong forum
#

im not running with boots, i really dont see the point to it

#

heroic leap and mounting will be enough

#

ima use sephuz and prob KJ

merry cave
#

I found the apposite I could take down any mob or group as arms with almost 0 effort the move speed was way more valuable

#

And kjbw got nerfed by 50% last tested on betw

strong forum
#

i really dont see the point to boots

#

its hardly 30% movespeed

merry cave
#

I just plan on wearing my speed set from m+ which is 152% it feels great lol

tender berry
#

my speed set

chilly brook
#

@broken kite I wasn’t complaining about wf/tf. All I was saying is it is the main reason why we saw things like arcanocrystal being so prevalent even into Antorus. Now it brings its own balancing issues clearly but on the other hand it also brings in a whole lot more options for the player and the BiS list is no longer so set in stone because anything might be an upgrade. Everyone at some point has benefitted from wf/tf and while I hate that it’s so random I also wouldn’t want blizz to take it away either.

#

Anyways RIP secondary stats

ummm what haste values are we talking here about ? more than 35% ?

The bigger reasons why devastator isnt really picked is the loss of rage per auto attack and the reduces SS reset chance

Is that the replacement for ignore pain in the next expansion?

#

Hey guys, sure this question comes up all the time but I've literally just resubbed after dropping out at the start of Antorus, how's prot warrior looking for bfa?

dusty warren
#

according to Sco, inot good for plus and raid.

old sail
#

Aww, I just want a proper prot warrior expansion. Cheers dude

dusty warren
#

but it seems that the people here are enjoying it with some exceptions.

vocal nimbus
#

dmg and surv are decent

silk mortar
#

Well people dont wanna play what is decent for some recent

#

they want the top 0.1%

vocal nimbus
#

the same answer as always, if you are asking how is X class you wont need to play the top 0.1% class

silk mortar
#

Yeah but people dont know that

#

and dont believe how that is

ember arrow
#

idk why bring sco up at all if someone asks that

junior ivy
#

i dont understand those questions anyway. every spec is viable

#

even if warrior tanks arent good, you can still get 4k+ .io score

#

you can still get cutting edge

#

you might not be top 10 in the world

#

or world first

#

but you can still do the content..

south yarrow
#

Personally I think the whole "if you're not top 200 it doesn't matter" response is way too elitist

#

People aren't asking what spec they need to play to be able to get cutting edge

#

They just want to know which tank is best suitable for the content to get a little edge

#

Which is understandable

ember arrow
#

what is elitist about telling people what they like instead of playing what the top players say for the top end?

south yarrow
#

Sure some "edges" that tanks have may not exist if you're not a very good player, but still

ember arrow
#

if you dont do content difficult enough, then it doesnt matter

south yarrow
#

Because it's very often the knee-jerk response

ember arrow
#

its true though

#

u can do arcway +5 without any cc

#

u cant do arcway 25

south yarrow
#

Like what if someone asks stat weights and you just go "doesn't matter, just get the stat you enjoy"

ember arrow
#

if the content is easy, then it doesnt matter

south yarrow
#

"You can clear the content with ehatever stats"

And enjoy playing what is "best"

nneither of those were good for argus

#

why not play brew then

south yarrow

That's not the point lol

ember arrow
#

it is, u said ppl wanna know what is the best

#

then u come with an example of u playing a tank thats not the best for that situation

south yarrow
#

Yes, I didn't say I was one of those

ember arrow
#

same way people play prot warr

south yarrow
#

I just said there was a difference between tank classes and how good they were, and it mattered even at this level

ember arrow
#

it doesnt

#

how will tank class matter ona +5

south yarrow
#

So when people ask what is best, and you tell them it doesn't matter cause they have to ask

ember arrow

or normal

south yarrow

That's just denying them information for no reason

cosmic cargo
#

lemme give you an example

#

the dk external healing required wasn't much lower than the monk

ember arrow
#

dk metigated slightly more

#

but stagger makes monks ez to heal

#

so its even

cosmic cargo
#

(tbh the dk here is a good player and the monk is some random pug)

ember arrow
#

stagger takes care of it

#

xd

south yarrow
#

DK took a lot more unmitigated damage though there

#

As in raw damage, before mitigation

ember arrow
#

because dk has no metigation

#

proactive

south yarrow
#

Meaning he probably was tanking more than monk, and still required less heals

#

No

#

Raw damage

cosmic cargo
#

yeah checking the log better the monk was indeed bad, ironskin brew wasn't 100% while alive

#

anyway

#

the point still stands

#

a dk needs external healing in bfa

#

unless it's trivial content

#

and it's not a lot less than others

ember arrow
#

in legion u needed no healing until like 22

#

23?

cosmic cargo
#

it's maybe a little less

ember arrow
#

or mythic

#

now hell no

south yarrow
#

A lot more damage was thrown at the DK over the course of the fight than at the monk

#

And still required less heals

cosmic cargo
#

even on mythic you didn't on some bosses tbh

south yarrow
#

You'd have to normalize that

#

To get any meaningful results

junior ivy
#

is sindragosa bugged

frank mantle
#

figured id pop in and ask... is ignore pain still shit in BFA?

ember arrow
#

the shield is as tiny as my hopes and dreams

#

but it gets miles better with gear

frank mantle
#

oh nice so its dogshit until you outgear the content anyway

ember arrow
#

no

#

if u get gear

#

the shield gets much more useful

#

but it has not same function as in legion regardless

#

so it wont be a 70% of ur hp shield at any point

#

i didnt say it gets better if u outgear it

frank mantle
#

i wish they had found a replacement for it before bfa launch, blizz definately hates it and i dont mind it, but tuning wise its either broken op or fairly shit it seems

ember arrow
#

it was neither after NH

frank mantle
#

i imagine in 8.1 they will have a solution

ember arrow
#

it was shit at all times, 1.9 mil be4 squish

#

but u could spam it

frank mantle
#

that first week or 2 on EN tho 😛 we were virtually unkillable

ember arrow
#

THAT was the problem

#

i had 9.5mil hp, IP was 1.9 mil, so thats around 20% now i got 46k hp, IP is 9.6k, thats also around 20%

#

it just cant be spammed anymore, and it is on gcd, that is why it feels bad

#

i dont think its actually weaker relatively

frank mantle
#

the gcd is why it is now garbage effectively

ember arrow
#

if u need it for defensive purposes, u use it for that

#

SW,LS,and SBare off gcd

frank mantle
#

they just need to power it up to compensate

ember arrow
#

now u must make a choice between IP and doing dmg

#

im not a fan od it, but its in line with their design choices for bfa

frank mantle
#

not to a crazy level, but if they leave IP the way it is they need to make it a bit stronger for it to feel more worth spending

#

imo

ember arrow
#

i think it would be better to let it cost more

#

but be off gcd

#

that way u cant spam it, but it wont be stacked million times like legion

#

that way it would serve similar purpose to dk's death strike, but instead of healing for % dmg taken, you would get a 25% hp shield

#

so it would metigate some dmg, but oyu would stil require a healer

frank mantle
#

yeah that'd be fine, my point is mainly if its gonna now be on the gcd, it damn well better be powerful enough to make it worthwhile. if your saying % wise its about the same power level as it was for most of legion, going from not on the gcd to be being on the gcd makes it feel shit

sick sentinel
#

IP feels fine in ST situations to me but it’s really difficult to use it in trash AoE because I need the rage for DPS to keep threat

astral crystal
#

how? revenge is fast nasty garbage

ember arrow
#

u revenge for aggro, then IP if needed

astral crystal
#

all you need is UF/avatar/tclap

#

i just revenged when it was free on beta

#

didnt have issues

ember arrow
#

ye same

#

aggro si last of warr problems

#

i had never ever aggro loss

lime elk
#

Does prot really feel like garbage, or does it just feel different?

vocal nimbus
#

different

ember arrow
#

IP on gcd feels not so good, but otherwise different

#

but IP isnt spammed like be4

lime elk
#

yeah, the one dungeon i ran it was weird having IP on the GCD, but it was just a regular dungeon so I didn't even need to press it

#

is it more like a in the moment priority system that you follow vs just mashing IP when you have the excess rage?

sick sentinel
#

I wonder if my gear is a problem. I’m 225, which I assumed would be fine in most key situations. But if I don’t have Avatar up for a trash pull, DPS usually rip as I tab target through the pack

#

I’m also in the process of swapping to warrior as my tank main, so I will freely admit some user error is involved

ember arrow
#

excess rage i dump into revenge

#

IP if im taking spike dmg or when ill need it basically

prob just gotta get used to it Tobit

@strong forum I just ran two 15’s and didn’t press revenge like a mongo.

Zero issues.

Sigh. I’m a bad. 😂

ember arrow
#

if u dont press the damage button, you dont gain threat

#

thats solved then

sick sentinel
#

The discussion was also involving my though that IP was hard to use in trash pulls

#

So, I mainly just need to keep practicing and get a feel for when I can rage dump. I’m having a blast, just gotta perfect it

ember arrow
#

use IP when u need to, otherise revenge to dump rage

#

unless in avatar u can alternate TC>anything else> TC

primal crypt

why are all the logs showing Devastate over BV??

#

I hate pressing deva

#

lol

#

I've been trying so hard to live with it, can't find a good keybind for it

ember arrow
#

its not really pressed often

#

i use revenge as filler in aoe

#

in ST once in a blue moon its used

primal crypt
#

yeah

buoyant inlet
#

i thought BV had the edge over devastator. I'm surviving fine right now , and would LOVE to get devastate off my rotation as i learn the changes to the spec. is devastator a DPS +?

amber siren
#

It's a single target dps increase with no survivability attached to it. I don't know the math about how much the gloves and haste levels affect it so that might not be true at 120.

north dove
#

Legendaries lose effect at 116 i think

lofty acorn
#

so thats the reason why ppl suggest to do the "hard" zones first ?

amber siren
#

Yep

wanton sentinel
#

The Ally zones all felt pretty much the same to me.

signal plover
#

I'm the biggest downside to devastator is that there's no rage gain associated with it. It still does great dps with gloves but that's about it.

torn rover

Yea idk

fossil spindle

The playtyle seems.. bad. Cant really enjoy it at this point. In DPS section prot is amazing but in defensive I feel like tanking a +20 is a death sentance now.

Rage gain is slow as a snail.

Yea not really enjoying it

Try arms if you want something fun

Its really fun now

ember arrow
fossil spindle
#

@ember arrow because I feel its super slow and I need to relay on my healer alot which in a pug group is pretty shit if we're honest about it.

ember arrow
#

all tanks need to rely on healers now

fossil spindle
#

not as much as warriors, i did multiple 18s as rshaman and dks and dhs still dont need that much compared to a warrior

ember arrow
#

ye but at 18s u dont take dmg

#

as a tank

#

neither my warrior, pala, or dk does

#

warrior requires planning of cds vs abilities, if the ones u healed didnt od that

#

then its rip

sweet kettle
#

well warriors dont have any healing so if you dont have ignore pain up you will take alot of dmg

ember arrow
#

not necessarily

#

again this obsession over self healing

sweet kettle
#

well its good

#

to have some form of healing

#

prot is more like blocking then absorbing

ember arrow
#

healing back 25% of dmg = metigating 25% of dmg

sweet kettle
#

having a tank that can hold his own is good

ember arrow
#

no tank can full self sustain

sweet kettle
#

dk can

ember arrow
#

no

#

u still live in legion mate

sweet kettle
#

so dk doesnt have healing now?

ember arrow
#

not enough to self sustain fully

#

they need a healer

#

or they jsut die

sweet kettle

dont know about that

i did every dungeon 21-23 on dk

u really need healer

or u just assuming

my friends play dk

#

and it is still stronger than other tanks

hot locust

< have played DK, still need healing.

if u doa +5 u dont sure 😛

Legendaries are a big reason why DK is strong right now comparatively.

hot locust
#

ember arrow

is super rip for dk

also boneshield not being absorb anymore

#

alot of YIKES

#

also comparing tanks tuned for level 120 bfa in legion dungeons is kinda futile anyway

hot locust
#

Yup, they feel really similar at 120.

ember arrow
#

i didnt play beta, but i read the dungeon journals, and info, seems alot of bosses have some form of "i will now do moire dmg with autos" or "u take more dmg from autos"

#

which seems good on warrior

sweet kettle
#

yes but that isnt the point of bringing a warrior in a m+

#

prot warrior doesnt have that insane group management as dk or dh has (massgrip)

ember arrow
#

GG has smaller range now

#

ST grip is on gcd

sweet kettle
#

its still good

ember arrow
#

idk what to tell you man, if u dont wanna play warr then dont

#

prot in bfa has significantly more utility aswell as one of the few remaining aoe stuns, metigates alot of dmg

cinder bridge
#

also cds all day

#

besides I could never play a 0 mobility tank

#

but that's personal preference

sweet kettle
#

never said that all i said is that warrior has no self healing and even if that is not as strong as it used to be its still a nice thing to have

ember arrow

saying everything else is better in every way implies strongly that you do

well they are better

doesnt matter if they are 10% better or 1%

I don't know where people get this idea that prot has no self healing. I get VR procs all the time. Even if I don't get procs I don't require much attention from the healer because I barely take any damage. Maybe you just need to learn how to play it instead of saying it's bad.

cinder pasture
#

I would rather mitigate the damage in the first place than to take damage -> use an ability to heal myself back up.

ember arrow
#

that depends on the tank

You can't reliabily get VR procs in raids. I don't think it's a problem that prot has low self healing, though.

strong forum
#

prob mostly talking bout m+

kind urchin
#

Yeah. Thats for M+. It doesn't really matter for raids because you should have healers on you anyways.

forest fern
#

in raids and even in m+ its all based now for bfa, not for legion thats key to remember. The whole concept of tank and healing partnership is being rewrote to work on that idea. Tanks lower damage but are meant to be healed with more decent intensity

strong forum
#

nobody was talking about legion though skyhold

forest fern
#

its why selfhealing, absorbs, all that stuff across the board was changed, its also why the tanks now are way more about increasing their armor and more steady damage intake, cause they want to up the standard mob melee against tanks, and even out a bit the monster uber magic destroyers that bosses were throwin out

#

right but self healing and lack of it was and i'm trying to just restate its by design so considering it as big a deal as it has been in the past needs to go also

kind urchin
#

I like the move they've done. Tanks actually require external healing on a more regular basis. Instead of being able to do a M+ invitational without a healer. That was absurd.

forest fern
#

no i agree, it is a good thing is just something people need to get used to

thats the entirety of it

its actually going to make our jobs less boring

followed by healer followed by dps

main vault
#

In BFA of general?

strong forum

in general

forest fern
#

let me rephrase that, it will make it more "engaging per second"

main vault

Because until now tank has easily been the least engaging and easiest role

forest fern
#

more consistency of engagement

kind urchin
#

Depending on the encounter of course.

strong forum
#

i think dps is far easier

forest fern
#

well at least in raiding the big problem is offtank, making that engaging

strong forum
#

and least engaging unless you play shadow or affli

main vault
#

Not if you wanna do well

strong forum
#

well thats a given

forest fern
#

the problem with dps is not enough stuff is happening to them to interrupt the "press 1 press 2 press 3" pattern they get into

strong forum
#

im defo not going back to warri dps

#

its so boring compared to tanking

forest fern
#

the problem is to fix that you have to make more stuff "happen" to them and you have to have casuals be able to live through that

main vault
#

It's much much harder to be an above average dps than above average tank

#

But their viewpoint on tanking does help that

#

Actually have to pay attention again

strong forum
#

well thats just because not a lot of people play tank

main vault
#

It's not though

forest fern
#

well yeah cause the difference between their brains is less when their is a more constant rotation of things happening

strong forum
#

and bad ones at that

#

bad tanks made me play tank

#

cuz i can do what they do better 🤷

main vault
#

It's because the mechanics in the game don't require above average skill

#

They have spent years gutting the tank role

kind urchin
#

True story.

forest fern
#

basically you need to have each roles have sort of a base "rotation" of things they do but only do that 60ish percent of the time and do something else in the other time

#

for dps it has been becoming more and more 90% dps 10% other shit going on

main vault
#

Trying to make it so a below average player can be passable and not hold his group back

strong forum
#

well in that the dps are the same

main vault
#

They have pruned them sure

strong forum
#

you can tank stuff in legion with 200k dps

#

or be a good tank and deal 800k+ dps with same gear

kind urchin
#

Argus was actually a pretty good fight to separate good tanks from bad tanks. Having to cycle mitigation at the right time and the right ability to not screw yourself.

main vault
#

But if you wanted to be a 75% do or a 75% tank, the tank has it much easier because there's less to do

#

Maiden had that too

#

That doesn't raise a skill cap

forest fern
#

true but i still think we should mitigate first dps second with a much larger ratio, meaning making the survivability aspect more constant with less downtime so you can't go nuts with that

main vault
#

I don't mean parses

forest fern
#

it was becoming not dangerous enough tanking per 5second periods of game time with how it was going imo

main vault
#

And having CD checks like Maiden and Argus don't really judge tank skill

forest fern
#

the danger needs to be resonable but more constant, then insane but infrequent

kind urchin
#

Make it dangerous again and I'm happy.

you have to once keep in mind, im talking about m+

main vault
#

Tanking in m+ is easier though

forest fern
#

well also it makes dbm basically tell you what to do, not enough suprise across the board

strong forum
#

since raiding in general is ResidentSleeper

main vault
#

Tanks get to a point they just kits the whole dungeon

#

While dps and healer still deal with mechanics

strong forum
#

only at +23 and higher

main vault
#

Well you can't judge the toughness of roles at low levels

kind urchin
#

Hopefully the threat change makes us actually have to tank instead of kite all the time.

main vault
#

Prepare to be disappointed

forest fern
#

i'd just rather it be 50% dangerous to a tank 50% of the time, rather than 90% dangerous 10% of the time

main vault
#

Kiting is still very much a real thing

strong forum
#

thing is though, at 23 or higher everybody is expected to know what they're doing

main vault
#

Right, but that doesn't change how hard it is

forest fern
#

honestly the problem with the threat design change is its blizzard, if it becomes something you'r supposed to deal with the forums will get it changed very quickly even though it shouldn't be

main vault
#

Everyone can know 💯 what they are doing and things still be easier or harder for an individual

forest fern
#

mob rule is the killer of design changes

#

fuck the mob

strong forum
#

yea

kind urchin
#

I second that.

main vault
#

I mean im ok with tanks being the easiest role since we are also meant to have more raid awareness

strong forum
#

Awareness

#

thats the keyword

forest fern
#

but honestly to get these things to stick we need about another 3million people to stop playing the game lol

main vault
#

I do expect them to walk back the threat a little

#

People will definitely QQ

strong forum
#

as dps you can just spray in and do moderatly something, as tank if you blindly do shit you just get fucked

#

thats the point im getting at, not top level play

forest fern
#

its also ALWAYS your fault 😃

#

always

main vault
#

You mean it's always the healers

#

Not the tanks

strong forum
#

always the ninja pull

forest fern
#

no thats what we say in response 😃

kind urchin
#

Always blame the dps

forest fern
#

no that's just the unwritten true record 😃

main vault
#

The rule has always been blame healers

forest fern
#

honestly 90% of my group killers are always ranged dps, sorry to them but its the truth

kind urchin
#

Unless the dumb warlock bodypulls everything in CoS. Stupid warlock.

forest fern
#

that always seem to unleash some borderline insane stupidity

#

at least if melee do it i can slap their hand and fix it cause they are standing right beside me

How does the Deafening Crash azerite trait stack?

#

does it increase the extended duration of stuff? or just the damage on Tclap?

fossil spindle
#

Someone said Argus seperated bad tanks from good tanks 😄 😄 😄

#

If you got that far, you probably have an idea how to tank. And warriors had it extra easy there, lets be real.

undone sun
#

only the damage stacks afaik @crystal night

main vault
#

Idk at this point even casual guilds with average tanks have killed him

crystal night
#

@undone sun aww damn 😦

#

ty sir

#

is that still going to be one of our best traits for fortified weeks?

undone sun
#

likely

strong forum
#

1x deafening is mandatory imo

crystal night
#

is 3/3 deafening a good idea for fort weeks?

strong forum
#

na, rather take 2x iron fortress rather

#

the damage alone i dont think is worth saccing the block value of fortress

crystal night
#

Oh I havent looked up that one ty for sharing that info Nomeratur im gonna look that trait up and where I can get it from in dungeons

#

so your thinking 1 deafening and 2 iron fortress?

strong forum
#

ye for general purpose

#

2 weeks boys, literally cant wait

#

so fucking pumped

crystal night
#

Yes dude me too!

kind urchin
#

I've got the itch too Nomeratur.

strong forum
#

have had the itch since beta D: its so stressful

crystal night
#

So I saw on the iron fortress triat that is " Increased our block by 250" when i hoover over the stat on my character pannel it says "reduced damage of an attack" so dopes that mean block is a flat damage reduction from physical attacks?

kind urchin
#

I've been ready since the cluster that was the opening of the presales.

strong forum
#

yes, when blocking

crystal night
#

Where do I see my likleyhood to actually block at attack?

strong forum
#

mastery

#

or rather

#

mastery increases your blockchance

#

but you should see a block stat in your character panel

crystal night
#

Yeah I see that

strong forum
#

the % oft that displays your block chance

#

without hovering over it

crystal night
#

OH

#

26% block chance

strong forum
#

and Shield Block and Bolster give you 100% block chance

crystal night
#

is that just a manifestation of my mastery then

#

Yeah

#

whatever % is showing there is just how much my mastery is giving me?

strong forum
#

no thats your overall

#

50% of mastery is increasing your block chance

#

ish

ember arrow
#

20% mastery is 20% chance to critblock a melee/blockable spell

#

it also gives blockchance outside of SB

#

but when u need AM for something, its ofc more reliable to sue SB

crystal night
#

Yeah SB does 100% from what i see

#

so does that mean that we can combine our critical block chance and our regular block chance to figure out how much we will be blocking without AM up?

#

maybe thats incorrect

#

im bad at statistics 😛 haha

somber dragon
#

i think it's a separate roll

#

crit block roll happens after the block roll

strong forum
#

i have 37% mastery, and 29% block chance, 37% of the 29% is a crit block

kind urchin
#

No. The chance to critically block gets calculated after the chance to block gets rolled.

strong forum
#

outside of SB

#

so within of SB i have a 37% chance to crit block

#

outside of SB its like 7% overall to critblock

ember arrow
#

critblock is same chance as mastery %

#

regardless if SB is up

#

u must roll block first
