crit is displayed as chance to deal double dmg and/or healing
critblock isnt in there
right, but I could see how that could be confusing to someone brand new
Yeah
It's still crit so someone could think it would work
Should've called it MEGABLOCK
someone's lack of knowledge justm eans they have to do research
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
But why would you want to parry?
Parrying is quite good, in terms of damage reduction (since, y'know, you take no damage at all).
It's just unreliable.
And yields no rage
Except we don't generate RFDT anymore in BfA.
@stuck oxide azerite armor doesnt drop from m+
I’m being lied to by wowhead then
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.
I mean that’s still rage from damage taken
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.
It does
An auto attack is still damage
Saying that it’s changed is an accurate statement
Saying it doesn’t exist isn’t
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.
Acronyms 
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*
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.
Crit gives parry too.
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
\[99]
@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
last i heard it was removed from pve encounters, so bosses couldn't parryhaste mollywhop you like fuggin brutallus or magtheridon used to
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
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
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
crazy min-maxers, you're all nuts!
@flat oracle's favourite
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
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
@undone sun haha didnt you use to have like 6 action bars
haha
haha
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 😛
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 😄
I like it, only reason why I still run Antorus 🤷 Getting good gear is fun, idc if some LFR guy gets a 980
i think increasing the potential cap to tf in mythic content could solve a lot of peoples issues with it
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
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?
id imagine that its disabled at 116
he knows that
hes asking how useful the boots will be up until then due to secondary stats decreasing in value
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.
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
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
I just plan on wearing my speed set from m+ which is 152% it feels great lol
@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
GCD change is scary
Ftfy
More than scary
@alf that's impressive
it took some time to pice together but it speeds transmorg runs op a lot
@tender berry you should also get the rivendare sword for 10% move speed.
two xD
That's pretty nuts
you can spam log out and relog
check the guide on wowhead
took me 30 mins of spamming relog and the macro
@vague abyss yer i solde it last time it drop >< but i still need the mound so i might get it 😃
think is fixs the log in and out thing
but im not a 💯 %
@strong forum recently?
keys are so boring to me now that bfa is comin out soon 😦
yea 20min ago
@undone sun
OT was retarded and fell off at the pull
so i just winged it
sorry, i was referring to the hidden skin.
oh
xD
no i did the hidden skin on release day ( as in when it was made available )
ah okay, 99% sure that method was fixed within the week or so
is there anything fun to do while waiting for bfa
ty @strong forum
omg wait is the tmog loot situation for old raids fixed
so i can farm dragon soul raid finder?
how does the spine work in dragon soul raid finder?
LUL
true
fairly ez if you do it like asmon
just kill 1 tentacle
and sit in the pit until you have like 10 blobs around you
i need hellfire citadel raid finder
okay okjay okay they changed something on the appearances set page
they changed somethijnhg and made it terrible
and now i need an addon to fix it and make it normal again
i dont like this
it terlls me i completed battle gear if iron wrath right?
but really ive only completed mythic
i still need to finish heroic and normal
but it doesnt tell me that anymore unless i click it and selec t the dtop down
depends of the difficulty you chose
yeh but it used to display that info on the set itself in the list
it counts as completed as soon as you have 1 set of all of em
change is scary
yes
it is
bad change 😦
how do i queue for raid finder hellfire citadel?
anyone know?
Talk to your blind orc buddy in your garrison
you guys are my google when it comes to wow questions.
We're all enablers 😢
I dont see those 8/8 numbers anymore @broken kite harg that's my big complaint
Whydo you see them and not me
ohh sorry 😛 yeah that's an addon
i think it's can I mog it
🤦
it's a good addon, can impact performance a bit tho
well cat is the addon guru
Yup I used to have that addon and didnt realize it had that feature
Thought that feature was default ui
should be a default feature anyway
k so back to 84 addons 😦
👀
no its shit, the whole game is shit and every spec in the game is bad
well yea
the combat global thing they did is pretty shit
honestly it's made me want to quit the game for something else
cya
isn't what it used to b e
change is scary
it never was good lol
hasn't prot pala been one of the worst tanks every expansion
tldr no
wat
❓
I remember prot paladins being called the kings of trash
its THE lazel Pog
I don't play prot paladin
lazel wouldnt know its not like he is one of the best tanks in the world or anything
youre right everything is trash
tried it in legion and it was a pretty nooby clas
go play roblox
there wasn't much to do
well if u dont PLAY it then why do you argue if its bad or not?

prot warr in EN btw
this lazel guy is pretty edgy and hostile
He was in arms channrl aswell said the same things for arms now its just prot. In a new account.
when I was saying it was simple I didn't mean it was a good thing
@blazing dune
if you dont enjoy the game dont play, idk what to tell you man. every spec in the game is viable right now
maybe it's the world of warcraft and anime pics lol
if you dont enjoy it then maybe its not for you
^
@sick sentinel u actually have a negativ iq
Ye alright, you go do that
👌🏻
That's what I get for giving a second chance :(
FeelsBadMan
:(
saying paladin is trash will probably actually go over even worse in paladin discord, just to save you the time
i think hes gone
I already told an admin in pala.
can i get focused rage back
o_o
tldr everything is bad why bother even playing
wow is dead
+1
tldr people with anime pictures are bad edgy players
< playing world of warraft
its not an issue saying smt is bad, but just saying "its bad lol" and not giving reason
is just ehhh
wow = weeb trash confirmed
how about saying something is the worst in the game and admitting you dont even play it 🤔
👌
i would know guys, i leveled one to 20 in MoP
i heard about someone reading a guide of noxxicthat warr is bad
well thats just what we warris are getting
so it must be true
xd
Prot paladin was only unviable in Vanilla. Since then its been able to tank just fine.
at least since i've been here
idk whats wrong wit pala
the heal on gcd isnt that bad
u only press it once every 12-15 sec at most
its not like IP
the gcd argument is just lazy at this point
its just people refusing to accept change
yes it feels bad, but ffs no reason to flame about it
Oh right. Preach got globaled trying to cast LotP one time so now Paladin is trash... Got it.
if every tank spec got sweeping GCD changes, a stat squish, and a self-sustain prune, that means A) all tanks are in a similar spot or B) every tank is unviable and all content will be impossible? hmmmmm
early prot 😢
IP shield is smaller than my hopes and dreams
its a little different but its not like its gamebreakingly awful
how it feels is subjective
so i dont worry about that that much
you get used to it Demo and IP is both on GCD
but, arguably it's not in a great spot
im saying about how it feels
it's on real gcd
It is on the gcd
IP feels like u get 500ping for 1 gcd
Lol
lucky you
U should lazel
ppl pretend like its their job
🤔
No no no... WoW is life. Not work.
if your friends cant understand that you dont wanna play a certain role, then theyre not good friends
focused rage plus IP just makes me think of 7.0 devastate
now its TC
seems broken atm eh
Knees is nerfed now tho feelsgood
hi macro
it is?
ye
last night i think
Crippled it, I assume - see hotfix notes
I had a guild try to snipe me and recruit me as dps. I told them there wasn't a chance in hell of that happening.
soo, the #1 prot log with it is now unbeatable
would you say it's been kneecapped?
on agg
🤦
It's prepatch
xd
i dont care, just asking
/shrug
ez 100 logs xd
Gold baby
my point
well agg 100 is ez af
If you're not first you're last.
if you're not last, you're first
whatgives me into the fray stacks? isnt it supposed to be # of enemies around?
enemies and friendlies
They changed it to enemies and allies.
is 15% the max stacks?
ye
yes
so basicallyh
i ALWAYS will have 15% extra haste?
cause there are always friendlies around
most of the time
i wouldn't say always, but probably majority
like in m+ or raid
Mythic plus is pretty easy to keep 5 stacks most of the time.
who is king
are there even invasion happening anymore?
feels like i havent seen em since reset
nvm google
yo guys, wasn't catching up what's going on for the last 5 days, but i see now in logs, that lots of ppl take devastator again did blizz change smth ? gotta check all the hotfixes from the past week
i thought devestator was still a definite no but maybe im wrong ive been busy all week
devastator only works out because of gloves and giga high haste levels
thats the reason why
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
so we still use BV right?
yup
kk just makin sure
im sitting at 50% haste with itf
but even with 50% haste its not worth alone to take devastator, its only working out because of the gloves
k just checked my ST dps setup (which is the only 1 i see in logs ppl take devastator for) and i have 51% of haste there with itf at max stacks, guess i wont be taking it for any cleave or aoe/m+ runs
meh, how much i hate to click devastate again....
well in aoe you wont
random question, all the ppl in group finder who are like "4x maw of souls weekly", they expect you to have a maw key right? regular mythic dungeon is once a week?
You can only get loot from a mythic dungeon without a key once a week, but you can run them repeatedly for quest completion
Yw
What gems should I be using?
Wowhead is saying quick lightsphene but I though mastery was better than haste?
yea
who told you mastery is betteR?
it wasn't all of legion and im pretty sure haste is still ahead of it, even with the reduced importance of those
in bfa
I just thought mastery would be better for tanking
more haste>more rage gen>more cds with AM>more defensive/offensive abilities>
yeah
while mastery is only vs blockable dmg
Thanks
np

why 
Ikari mentioned it the other day and I 🤦
i mean all leggos does is reduce CD of demo and give some stats here and there
ye i dont see the problem
no real need to "train without legion gear"
the dungeons feel massively different tbh
hey guys
i just logged in for the first time into the new wow
is the new prot warrior weaker than before ?
all tanks are weaker than before. Prot war is not really weaker than the other tanks at the moment
😢
i just built my weak auras about 3 weeks ago
took me a day and half
D:
i need help catching up
i want my warrior to be awesome 😐
no artifact traits
no rage generation
talents changed
the put booming voice and devastator in the same row D:
they nerfed ignore pain so badly
god damnit
makes me want to switch off prot warrior this is BS
OKAY
what honor talents are ppl running for prot wpvp?
i dont feel like prot is in a particularly bad place?
Sword and board, shield bash, and the demo shout one
@rocky gust well yea,
for in depth information
ignore warrior
Is that the replacement for ignore pain in the next expansion?
does anyone know if tidyplates work already?
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?
according to Sco, inot good for plus and raid.
Aww, I just want a proper prot warrior expansion. Cheers dude
but it seems that the people here are enjoying it with some exceptions.
dmg and surv are decent
the same answer as always, if you are asking how is X class you wont need to play the top 0.1% class
idk why bring sco up at all if someone asks that
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..
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
what is elitist about telling people what they like instead of playing what the top players say for the top end?
Sure some "edges" that tanks have may not exist if you're not a very good player, but still
if you dont do content difficult enough, then it doesnt matter
Because it's very often the knee-jerk response
Like what if someone asks stat weights and you just go "doesn't matter, just get the stat you enjoy"
if the content is easy, then it doesnt matter
"You can clear the content with ehatever stats"

playing the class you like is better than playing the "best" class UNLESS youre looking to be top 200 though
"What legendaries are best for Argus?" "Just play whatever you enjoy it's still possible"
cause even the "not best" classes are still viable

Like I very much preferred tanking Argus on my druid than on my dk. And we killed it top 400
Sure, could have done it on DK
One message removed from a suspended account.
But it made a huge difference
That's not the point lol
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
Yes, I didn't say I was one of those
same way people play prot warr
I just said there was a difference between tank classes and how good they were, and it mattered even at this level
So when people ask what is best, and you tell them it doesn't matter cause they have to ask
or normal
That's just denying them information for no reason
Kinda hard today what's best this expac without knowing full I'm packing if azerite
people also still dont seem to understand that taking 100 dmg> reducing 60% is not worse than taking 100>healing back 40

lemme give you an example
the dk external healing required wasn't much lower than the monk
(tbh the dk here is a good player and the monk is some random pug)
DK took a lot more unmitigated damage though there
As in raw damage, before mitigation
Meaning he probably was tanking more than monk, and still required less heals
No
Raw damage
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
it's maybe a little less
A lot more damage was thrown at the DK over the course of the fight than at the monk
And still required less heals
even on mythic you didn't on some bosses tbh
is sindragosa bugged
figured id pop in and ask... is ignore pain still shit in BFA?
oh nice so its dogshit until you outgear the content anyway
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
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
it was neither after NH
i imagine in 8.1 they will have a solution
that first week or 2 on EN tho 😛 we were virtually unkillable
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
the gcd is why it is now garbage effectively
they just need to power it up to compensate
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
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
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
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
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
how? revenge is fast nasty garbage
u revenge for aggro, then IP if needed
all you need is UF/avatar/tclap
i just revenged when it was free on beta
didnt have issues
Does prot really feel like garbage, or does it just feel different?
different
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?
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
excess rage i dump into revenge
IP if im taking spike dmg or when ill need it basically
hey guys i got a question about the hidden artifact is it possible to still get it now?
for a fresh account
toon*
@strong forum I just ran two 15’s and didn’t press revenge like a mongo.
Zero issues.
Sigh. I’m a bad. 😂
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
use IP when u need to, otherise revenge to dump rage
unless in avatar u can alternate TC>anything else> TC
ugh
I hate pressing deva
lol
I've been trying so hard to live with it, can't find a good keybind for it
its not really pressed often
i use revenge as filler in aoe
in ST once in a blue moon its used
yeah
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 +?
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.
Legendaries lose effect at 116 i think
so thats the reason why ppl suggest to do the "hard" zones first ?
Yep
The Ally zones all felt pretty much the same to me.
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.
Just getting back from small vacation anything major i need to know about prot played some after the 8.0 patched dropped
One message removed from a suspended account.
I would say dont break you 4pc but im not the best judge on that one
Devastator does have survivability attached, can still proc shield slam which is techically a gain

Hey dudes. Is it me or prot is a clsuterfuck? Even as 249 it feels clunky, slow
Yea idk
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.
I have tanked 20+ the only problem is the Gcd that makes the spec not fun
Most of the time I precast avatar and start a pack
Rage gain isnt slow in dungeons tbh, got plenty of it. Also been able to tank +25s no problemo
why would tanking a +20 be a death sentence 🤔

@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.
all tanks need to rely on healers now
not as much as warriors, i did multiple 18s as rshaman and dks and dhs still dont need that much compared to a warrior
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
well warriors dont have any healing so if you dont have ignore pain up you will take alot of dmg
well its good
to have some form of healing
prot is more like blocking then absorbing
healing back 25% of dmg = metigating 25% of dmg
having a tank that can hold his own is good
no tank can full self sustain
dk can
so dk doesnt have healing now?
dont know about that
As a warrior, I selfsustained my way through molten core the other day! o/
< 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.
artifact
Shoulders are kinda crazy.
losing traits
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
Yup, they feel really similar at 120.
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
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)
its still good
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
also cds all day
besides I could never play a 0 mobility tank
but that's personal preference
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
saying everything else is better in every way implies strongly that you do
probably
dh got gutted in soem ways
now brm turn
unless one of bliz designer's gfs is playing brm ofcourse 
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.
I would rather mitigate the damage in the first place than to take damage -> use an ability to heal myself back up.
that depends on the tank
I like a smooth damage intake, getting too old for this spiky shit giving me a heartattack at times
smooth is op in legion tho
^^
all hail monks
You can't reliabily get VR procs in raids. I don't think it's a problem that prot has low self healing, though.
prob mostly talking bout m+
Yeah. Thats for M+. It doesn't really matter for raids because you should have healers on you anyways.
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
nobody was talking about legion though 
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
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.
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
people refusing to accept change
well i think tank is literally the most engaging
followed by healer followed by dps
In BFA of general?
in general
let me rephrase that, it will make it more "engaging per second"
Because until now tank has easily been the least engaging and easiest role
more consistency of engagement
Depending on the encounter of course.
i think dps is far easier
well at least in raiding the big problem is offtank, making that engaging
and least engaging unless you play shadow or affli
Not if you wanna do well
well thats a given
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
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
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
well thats just because not a lot of people play tank
It's not though
well yeah cause the difference between their brains is less when their is a more constant rotation of things happening
and bad ones at that
bad tanks made me play tank
cuz i can do what they do better 🤷
It's because the mechanics in the game don't require above average skill
They have spent years gutting the tank role
True story.
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
Trying to make it so a below average player can be passable and not hold his group back
well in that the dps are the same
They have pruned them sure
you can tank stuff in legion with 200k dps
or be a good tank and deal 800k+ dps with same gear
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.
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
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
I don't mean parses
it was becoming not dangerous enough tanking per 5second periods of game time with how it was going imo
And having CD checks like Maiden and Argus don't really judge tank skill
the danger needs to be resonable but more constant, then insane but infrequent
Make it dangerous again and I'm happy.
well nexii
Every discord and website has lists of what to use when
you have to once keep in mind, im talking about m+
Tanking in m+ is easier though
well also it makes dbm basically tell you what to do, not enough suprise across the board
since raiding in general is ResidentSleeper
Tanks get to a point they just kits the whole dungeon
While dps and healer still deal with mechanics
only at +23 and higher
Well you can't judge the toughness of roles at low levels
Hopefully the threat change makes us actually have to tank instead of kite all the time.
Prepare to be disappointed
i'd just rather it be 50% dangerous to a tank 50% of the time, rather than 90% dangerous 10% of the time
Kiting is still very much a real thing
thing is though, at 23 or higher everybody is expected to know what they're doing
Right, but that doesn't change how hard it is
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
Everyone can know 💯 what they are doing and things still be easier or harder for an individual
yea
I second that.
I mean im ok with tanks being the easiest role since we are also meant to have more raid awareness
but honestly to get these things to stick we need about another 3million people to stop playing the game lol
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
always the ninja pull
no thats what we say in response 😃
Always blame the dps
no that's just the unwritten true record 😃
The rule has always been blame healers
honestly 90% of my group killers are always ranged dps, sorry to them but its the truth
Unless the dumb warlock bodypulls everything in CoS. Stupid warlock.
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?
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.
only the damage stacks afaik @crystal night
Idk at this point even casual guilds with average tanks have killed him
@undone sun aww damn 😦
ty sir
is that still going to be one of our best traits for fortified weeks?
likely
1x deafening is mandatory imo
is 3/3 deafening a good idea for fort weeks?
na, rather take 2x iron fortress rather
the damage alone i dont think is worth saccing the block value of fortress
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?
Yes dude me too!
I've got the itch too Nomeratur.
have had the itch since beta D: its so stressful
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?
I've been ready since the cluster that was the opening of the presales.
yes, when blocking
Where do I see my likleyhood to actually block at attack?
mastery
or rather
mastery increases your blockchance
but you should see a block stat in your character panel
Yeah I see that
and Shield Block and Bolster give you 100% block chance
is that just a manifestation of my mastery then
Yeah
whatever % is showing there is just how much my mastery is giving me?
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
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
i have 37% mastery, and 29% block chance, 37% of the 29% is a crit block
No. The chance to critically block gets calculated after the chance to block gets rolled.
