hey man i did a 10 with my hpal last week, shes only 350 π
once I Had 500, I rolled into 7s easy NP
yeah I do that with my guild group
but if I'm pugging
i only make timers with guild groups
I don't come up with like "HAAAY BOYS U LIKE MY 650 RESTO DRUID, WANNA DO A +12"
so basically the increase in io is miniscule with pugs
yikes
It is
it's about finding people that are good
so that you can invite for keys later
If ur a coward
oof
I'd rather not waste my time when I put up my +9 and want to get a 10
IntenseNerdRage uses Focused Rage
by taking someone who has a lower IO than me
I'll never ask someone to have HIGHER score than me
but if I'm doing a 9 and want to timer, I'ma be eyeballing you to have at least 700
how low or high are you willing to go on IO scores while pugging?
and have completed a at least a 7 on that dungeon
over and under your own score?
Remember I am the person who mainly pugs and hates using comms for m+ and I've gotten to 1.3k because of it
if its a 10 I do it with a guild group
i'm literally just doing a +10 because i ened something
Because I'm not weak
are you LARPing right now tho
I've tried it, nothing has changed with it or wthout
I don't have patience for people
he cept cleaving his own CCs
To explain what to do
LOL
then asked how much my guild charged for AoTC carries
i like the people that you call out and then they go "why don't you play your own class"
solid invites
If u don't know what to do in +13 and higher we have a problem
instant bnet adds
I was like...you, you'll get our special rate, 2.5million
i honestly like the people that admit to their own mistakes
shows they are willing to improve
and usually do
yeah he doesn't sound like it lol
My guild has a policy of not being mean to people
but
I really wanted ot just start mocking him
because I was fairly conivinced that if he left, the run would be faster
yell "HEY FUCKER STOP BREAKING CCs" > they weren't hitting cc > globules broke it
for the deeps
Fuck glob go thunderclap jr
Point still stands
which means...
actually i haven't confirmed it
but laser matrix sounds like it breaks cc too
Laser Matrix is the sidewinders of BFA
but why would dps use LM outside of Uldir is beyond me
I want to kill ppl using lm in m+
it's almost like they think there is RA in M+
so it was shooting shit in the basement in waycrest
I'm using Archive
outside of Uldir
i reforge
meh
I also don't reforge when I have ot go arms
2x BFI master race
"hey look a critter is attacking"
too bad they don't survive the first TC
farts at critter good bye archive
looks around for other critters NOO THE CLEAVE IS TOO STRONG
I have one of my DPS CC a mob while I pull the next
don't sleep on critters
especially when you have a DH playing Eye Beam helicopter
ask @oblique garnet bout that shit
I want a dungeon that is nothing but critters
Say that to the FH bridge squirrel
its all fun and games until a critter gets infested and wipes your key
Oh man
what
LOL what
so ya'll talk shit but i respect critters
holy shit haha
The infamous FH squirrel
Yeah Infested critters are no joke
Can get infested so u have to waste time pulling it to the bridge
FH Squirrel
next expac, we're fighting the descendants of all the critters we've just killed unknowingly
ya'll wanted void lords
guess what
THEY BEEN HERE THE WHOLE TIME
i'll reroll pepe for that expansion, gotta be honest
You mean that army parked above Mulgore?
ya'll joke
but bladesong is woke
500% woke
All i'm saying is I kill every critter. Ain't gon' take chances
"rage pods"
is what i Used to call them
I'd even yell at folks who'd kill them on me in heroic dungeons back in TBC
cause I was always rage starved
storm bolt actually decent on fetid? just read that
I'd taunt them as I ran by to stay in combat and then pop a few as I got up to a pack
we just started him last night
wat
lol i remember getting rage off critters too
Professional warriors never left combat
because i can't fucking find critters in any other room for some reason
What would stormbolt do on Fetid?
no idea
are the poo piles stunnable?
thats why I'm asking lol
I'd think it wouldn't have any effect
it does a drop of damage
hmm
well uh
I woldn't consider any of that row
important
like for threat, ou can spam heroic throw
if he moves
which he shouldn't
cause generally if he's moving your DPS is too low
and you need to start yelling at your DPS
Or we talking normal/hc
we only move him for cleave on wounds otherwise he stays still
or whatever those big sacks are called. forgot
mythic
If blizzard doesn't have the new 10 affix also happen for critters I'm gonna ragequit
taking up space around melee target..
I want lil' ghosty bois
well I suppose if casters are assigned to that one
but all in all
you're going to do more DPS with nearly any other button
its not like the old stormbolt
which did 400% damage to unstunnable targets
F
yeah, figured id ask anyone else in here whose cleared mythic fetid
fight is easy to tank for the most part. Just seeing if im missing something so I can up my dps and help burn shit down quicker
my blood dk takes the thrash
and I sit on his autos
how it should be
that's most of it, you can move it to the big blob for cleave
at this point in the xpac tho dps prolly shouldn't be an issue
I was genuinely surprised how easy it was. I was expecting us to get trucked and both of us almost fell asleep
it's a dps check fight right?
ya
at this point your raid ilvl is probably well high enough
it's also a sorta-gear-check for tanks, but ilvls are p high now
So uh, all in all, I guess stormbolt. does only a miniscule bit more damage than intercept
guys, Overhelmig Power vs Lifespeed any advice?
Lifespeed
Back when people were doing this ~370 and below thrash was p dangerous
Yup
once you're 375 geared Fetid melee isn't that scary
if you can tank him with 30 people in HC
his mythic damage is only a miniscule bt higher
the few pulls I did on him I was really shocked, like taking a unmitigated Thrash to the face
and living
(just to see if i Could)
So, all in all, Devastator will give you the most impact on Fetid I'd think
for damage
@sand egret Theres another infested critter in freehold again but it glitches and sometimes it spawns the ghuunies and sometimes it doesnt
this is very important! Does anyone have a weak aura that yells IN THE DOOKER whenever a party or raid member dies?
you could make one
haha I just ran FH, palms sweaty
just eyes darting around for that lil bugger
giver critters who get infested the island AI π
I spent 2 hours in a TD 10 yesterday
calm down satan
Azerite Globules
yes
My freehold 9 and ATal 10 got fucked yesterday
cause we'd cc shit
and 20 seconds later its just fucking us with explosives across the map
our raid group uses double prot. should we have the better player main mythic fetid or OT?
turn around the corner to canada
OT imo
MT takes more damage, OT is more likely to get gibbed
ok ty
cheers for double prot group though
if one of them can't do it, time for them to play an easier tank π
listen
make them reroll monk
each are leveling an off
we will point and laugh accordingly
one monk one dk
thanks sadbox
one day when everyone has a BDK alt, blizzard will nerf the shit outta them
and then people will feel bad for all the time wasted
That's the dream
all is according to plan
I guess I mean, if you're 4/8M and can't play your class well, idk if showing up here is gonna fix you
hey man, people do make mistakes and sometimes need a fresh pair of eyes
how do you get 4/8M as prot war without at least being somewhat decent?
i mean
@ember crest tbh first 4 bosses don't hit super hard
at this point is Mythic even that hard?
@lusty grotto I just checked no one had either of those azerite traits
do you have logs?
Idts
remember there are other traits that might break cc
i just mentioned globules because i found out last week that it does break cc
so if it does, and LM does as well, then it's fair to say that other traits do too
thats fair
I'm also going by Raider IO which isnt updating the fact that I was using my prot, not my arms gear
so it might not be accurate
hm
probably wasnt high enough key to actually update on io
^^
Obvs too late to check
but I think atal was +6 to beat on thrall yesterday
so should've
i mean last week didn't need to be super high
anything past 5 made the leaderboard
ROFL
not really
tich was still all 10's
Draenor Eu is still 10+ on anything but shrine kr and temple
i didn't check yesterday but on sunday it was up to 7ish
Tich is a good server tho sad
Next week is gonna be good week to push tho
next week might be good to push for EU
Tyrannical + Grievous is hell for healers on US
It is Tyrannical Grievious And Bolstering for EU
really?
what in the fuck is wrong with mythicpl.us
yup
i see
fort sanguine necrotic next week hmm
hmmm...
yeah it might be good to push
just not in certain dungeons lol
WM monk time π
they nerfed Grievous a bit
sorta
it's slower to stack up now, but does a bit more per stack
sanguine is always an un-fun week on my warrior tho
grevious is a joke
i thought it ticks slower
until your healer forgets about you
sad day
i'm sorry
In Mythic Keystone dungeons, the Grievous affix now stacks every other tick (was every tick), and now deals 2% of the playerβs total HP per stack (was 1.5%).
yeah doubling of ramp up time is huge
allows the healers way more gcds to top people above 90%
They just reverted it back to 2%
And changed the stack
that's a lot more time if you factor in the time between ticks
@lusty grotto I think it ticks the same amount, and each tick hits harder, but it stacks more slowly?
ok that's enough 12 y/o for me today
it upgrades every other tick
What lvl and dungeon @primal crypt
hmm that actually sounds good
Siege 12
so its tick > tick > tick (2x) >tick (2x) > tick (3x) etc
hardly felt it
What healer u had?
good lord π±
with a disc priest too
i was chain pulling
yeah I did it with a MW and it was cake (until he gets bored and forgets about you apparently)
the giant ?
Water McStatueface
Yeah
time to react is the reason BrM are strong so it's no surprise this is a great boon for healers
LoS the wave dude
Cpt Tiderwater Butthead to you
Grievous didn't make it feel any worse
all room pull, for the charge luls
I mean at the end everyone had to eat mana buns
hey guys, horses are charging... just about everywhere
that poison stack is rough
But it wasn't anything crazy like before
Grievous plus poison would have been a no thanks
But it was meh
necrotic is np in that pull too
plenty of space
unless if you did boss + trash at the same time which i doubt
hmm
maybe it's possible
should be
i would have to try that
Siege is one of those places where it can be the easiest run of the week, or the hardest run of the week
based on the avg IQ of your DPS
I had one really bad experience with te last boss on tyranical once
Refuse to pug seige now
Siege on tyrn is always a pain due to the last
The 2nd boss is annoying because I have to waste a CD because I want to troll my dps
Of course they get mad but it's always too funny to not do
right now is the best time to pug holy shit
its everyone getting in their +10 before they go away for break (in the US)
HLeap saves your booty on the last boss of Siege haha.
that rando ret pally decides to bubble his shit off next to you....
If I don't see 1 +14 key when I get home
Blade, I swear to the booty clap
Mothefuckers were broke as shit last week, looking for +13/14 keys was horrible
haha
yeah it's pretty soft now
this week just really rewards proper play super well esp with greivous being more forgiving
Greivous nerfed or something? @sand egret
If disc are actually viable this week then I can believe that
just ran a +10 AD with a disc and +2 chested it
twas a breeze
he was 373 I think
some pugger
Because God knows there's nothing worse than waiting every fuking pull no matter how small for the disc to drink
haha yeah if they're on top of it it should be way more manageable
but it still will suck regardless if they can't reset stacks during those times anywho
just makes responding to/catching up easier
Will prot be viable in 8.1 ??????
oof
In m+ tht is
yes.
π‘
next.
Not paper tank = viable
If you mean, are we going to replace BDK as the MDI meta, on
They will be much more stronger come 8.1 than currently
we're no where close to a paper tank
sniffs smells like troll
thats VDH
In regards to m+
Ok then. Iβll try out prot war in 8.1 !
chances are if you're getting rekt now you'll probably end up getting rekt in 8.1
but the chance will go down
they're not like overhauling us
Nah i play fury and every war tank that i did m+ with was a meeega paper tank
I like tanking but i have paladin for that, wished for warrior but meh
Ic
if we're talking utility in the highest end stuff, yeah.
if we're talking living in M+
yeah, that's a bad warrior
or a bad healer or both
so jealous
all I get are pants
Its like Christmas every week
all I get are pants
i got a 385 big red button last week
i feel you
or maybe it was the week before
That was my first chest
this is what i upgraded from https://i.imgur.com/pbiNN1u.png
not the biggest upgrade but its an upgrade nonetheless
TFW 40 str gem
if i get those shoulders again for a 4th week in row im gonna jump off a bridge
I carry a stack of haste gems on me
i got BIS shoulders with DC
also, does anyone have any cursor trail addons that work?
The mechanic of ip is bullshit right now, 1sec gcd... the chance that there was no gcd but a cd is not better... The utility is only on tanks like BDK and DH, Monks also. Viable means
??/
i can't even
i think they accidentally hit enter too quickly
what happened
Viable means that we are even with all other tanks.
i had a stroke
i had a stroke reading that
literally what
we are even with other tanks though, we just have a much higher skill floor compared to other tanks
not with blood dks though of course
BDKS are broken AF in m+
i dont think anyone can disagree there
can't beat a battle res
With skill they are immortal
lmao
battle rez is amazing utility admittedly
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
i haven't felt my class limitation
I've felt my player limitation at points
Thats not even with other tanks that have selfheal, br or bubble
we dont need a selfheal because we dont take nearly as much damage as other tanks
warrior's strengths lie on strong physical mitigation + strong aoe dps
prot warriors actually on average require less external healing than other tanks if played properly
oops you have to be Engi https://ptr.wowhead.com/item=158379/unstable-temporal-time-shifter
π€·
we have great utility on like one fight in this expansion that i've really felt; Tyrannical freehold, specifically the pirate council fight
i was hoping blizzard would make other professions appealing besides fucking Alchemy but i guess not
any week that eudora is up against you, she has high potential to destroy your healer if your healer gets unlucky
tell your healer
to git gud
and even on a 14/15 key as long as you specifically
only take one grapeshot
by running through it
Right physical mitigation.... tons of magic dmg in dungeons and raids... see Vectis, zek'voz an all other
you'll be okay
eudora is ez, she goes clockwise every time
???
its not the grapeshot
she will literally target a random person and shoot them, doing about 110k damage
hmm
tell him to be a NE
you might be right
and yolo shadowmeld
there is a counter play to it: Intercept will actually take that attack for once in its existence
i just bubble/bop as hpal, because nimchipadin is super good
and then complain at the dps for not dpsing fast enough
makes the encounter super easy, just intercept hte healer when the healer is going to get owned
dont even need safeguard
i need to make my intercept a mouseover tbh
i got the macro for it if you need it
nah
/cast [@mouseover] intercept
i just copypasta cause im lazy
how does paladin healing feel atm?
i love it
but then again i play yolo avenging crusader
because whacking shit with my weapon heals the entire group
lmao
burst healing is so good
i also like sanctified wrath, because i can be a true shockadin and outdps bads
whenever i start leveling
I think of the struggle of gearing them up
my mage does have a lot of monkey forging
i'm gearing my mage now
383 bag prot, 379 bag mage
i dont think ill level any other alts
only have 3
warrior pala mage
lol
tbf
i did get frustrated at 1k io
but i found it was because i was using a guild healer
and that guy uhh
is uhh
spicy
lets go with
*spicy
very spicy drunken noodle spicy?
I don't fuck arouind with thai food anymore
LMAO
normally I order the spiciest thing
not with hole in the wall thai places
that shit came out of my ass for 3 days straight
lol yeah
rofl
you ever order a thai dish
goddamn i miss thai
lol
you just look at the sheer redness and smell the sour pepper notes
and just think
I'm about to get completely fucked
Did the dish have Tofu in it?
me neither
Dats cuz tofu sucks yo
Tofu is for texture + soaking up sauce
doesnt tofu taste like shit?
nah
i'm pretty sure i've never had it
if you fry tofu properly
it's nice and fluffy
with a nice crisp
and you just dip in some sauce of your choice
It tastes like nothing and has no texture
bruh, you're cooking tofu wrong
so you're basically eating sauce
Tofu is the guardian druid of the fus
or have people that are shit
at making tofu
LMAO
well, there is a taste
it's a slight swetness
similar to eating a starch
^
por que no los dos
Chicken is cheap
gotta save my moneys
Yo literally buy spam
i do
TFW Tofu is more expensive than meat
Are u shopping at whole foods lol
white supermarket
i sometimes get 2lbs of tofu for 99 cents
as a fresh prot war, those timewalking dungeon really are a pain in the ass
^hella
Try doing it as another tank Inocybe
you know exactly what i meant
when I said white supermarket
ya ain't seeing any fobs in whole foods
Ya duh
LMAO
U can't just SAY it tho
You'll appreciate block
Sal gonna come in here like damn stop talking shit about my supermarket
when you're getting trained with 0 armor and zero self healing as a BDK in most of the TBC TWing dungeons
bruh
You're safe, none of the mods play Prot
YOU CAN'T JUST SAY THAT
Awww shit I've been had lads
it's worse
are we so dead that we talk about supermarkets in here ?
you know we get off topic af
Nah we're so organic we talk about whole foods
LMAO
something something shieldblock something something DKS are broken something something, not guardian druids omegaLUL
generic comment asking if our mastery is removed in 8.1
But yeah, Tofu
bullfango yes :(
is more expensive

2 lbs for 99 cents
is anyone else pissed that IP is on the gcd now?
where you getting more expensive
because it carries a massive opportunity cost of not eating real food
am i late on that one?
1 second cooldown, reee
one of my favorite ways is just to fry them so they're crisp and fluffy
and douse them in scallion oil
mmmm
now i have to try tofu
do you fry them in scalion oil
was about to say
and that shit is nasty
you make the scallion oil seperate
hella easy if you're inept
some olive oil, chop up some scallions
little bit of salt and sugar
bit of fish sauce if you roll like that
and microwave for 30-60 seconds
ok now I'm hungry
and you'll have a servicable scallion oil
I dont own a microwave
aite
I'd stop eating food and replace everything with pizza rolls :/
you can do it the normal way too
instructions unclear, my penis is now stuck on an exhaust pipe
LMAO
deadass
low-key
want a hot pocket
but i can't justify the cost of a hot pocket
3-5 pounds of pulled meat
and have like 12 different meals out of that
i braise some pork
with some coconout soda + fish sauce
with a little bit of spice
put some pickled carrots + daikon
Spice TM
bit of cilantro on some corn tortillas
little bit of sirichia mayo
and we golden for the week
lmao
mayo yuck
thats some white guy shit
sriracha yes
LMAO
putting siracha mayo ona burrito
bruh
spicy mayo
that shit ain't even
traditional taco
LOL
that's just me doing vietnamese cooking
and being a lazy fuck
and eating it as a taco
Daikon on a burrito feels like cheating too
sriracha + spiciest shit you can find + swiss cheese + beef
that's my burrito
some avocado
yeah respect
obv beans
I recently started making my own hummus
because I learned chickpeas are amazing as long as they're not in their natural state
(on the topic of beans)
(chickpeas are not beans i know
I just buy cans
Bcuz they stay
nothing wrong with cans
dry stays good for a long time
only pain is rehydrating
gotta prep them like 2 hours before
i cant afford water
deadass
π¦
i aint got time for that
Not a shrimp man
that shit is hard to find a place that does that well
shell fish skeev me
lol
Tofu u got a family pho recipe i can steal?
Not tofu
I've just been boiling the shit out of an ox knuckle and then making white guy beef stew cause i forgot the rest of the recipe π¦
the thing about pho is it's a decent amount of prep + time
prot warrior is dead... just rename this channel
LMAO
spicy food channel would be good :D
@shadow sequoia make regular food then put FRANKS RED HOT
because knuckle is nice and all
but if you leave it in too long it just gets too mush
and loses all it's flavor
and plz, fml
when I was still living in so-cal
my fucking commute
every like 5-10 minutes
FRANKS RED HOT, I PUT THAT SHIT ON EVERYTHING
I've been doing ~8 hours
way too long dawg
generally a work day
you want texture if you wanna do something like that
for example ox-tail i'll do hour tops
and fish it out to eat later
Are you boiling or simmering?
simmering
I dated a Thai cutie for a few months and i stole the recipe from her grandma
but she spoke REALLY shitty english so i got like
0 of it down
do you also parboil?
I'll generally just brown them in the oven during a shower, throw them in a bath and go to work
parboil is the difference between a nice looking broth
vs sketchy broth
that works too
but I think traditionally everyone paroboils
what spices you using for the pho?
amd you using 2-3 large onions, garlic + ginger right?
Historically just some scallions, thai basil, ginger and garlic
tf
and some chile sauce to taste
so
hit me with that knowledge
the thai basil + scallions is fine
but you put that in, after everything is done cooking and when you're ready to eat in the bowl
scallions + thai basil are best when they're fresh
370 Rezans / 370Lions / 355 blockades, any advice ?
rezan + blockades
rezans/lion for m+
if you're dying take blockades over lions, otherwize go for rezan + lion imo
blockades if you hit a progression wall in raid where you're dying
its tough to beat blockades with decent haste
but if you want dps then sure go lions
Yeah if you're looking for a survivability boost 100% agree nim
blockades is nice, but for m+ i don't see the value in it with some pulls
im at 38% haste with 5 stacks
I think we've hit a gear point where its not necessary for a lot of content though.
i guess
That's how I felt until we had a Zul kill at 2% health haha
So my family does soupapolooza for christmas
so I'm trying to get a beef-centered pho down for it
i love pho
cause veryone does Chicken noodle
well
pho with sriracha mmmmm
chicken pho is different
because you need a fish sauce vinagrette to dip
and you'll use wide rice noodles
but beef huh
like knife noodles?
what is this chicken nonsense
thinner + thicker
lolll
this would be the kind of noodles
you would use for chicken pho
thanks tammy :^)
mfw i say fah correctly and my friends still say FOH
I get chicken pho at school but I donβt think itβs that great tbh
:|
But thatβs a hardly a good gauge
but that's because I grew up eating vietnamese food
you know what's good though
I grew up in an italian house hold
so when my friends are like lets go for italian food
indian chicken pizza
I'm like lol why
it's fucking delicious
i only went to the same viet place in virginia
i had 2 thai spots though
butter chicken pizza though
ayy
fuck i'm hungry
I grew up eating a lot of different foods, probably more Italian than anything though
Butter chicken pizza doesnt sound like a dish
I t sounds like someone was asked to list 3 things that are objectively good
it's amazing bullfango
side note
i felt the same way, until i had it
chef nimchip is talking sir
yeah bladesong
hang on let me put the picture that never gets posted here
take it to #off-topic
Real talk I need to learn how to make fried rice
???
dude
bruh
you're kidding
rice
LOL
dude the recipe is in the name
oh
.....
Clearly you add more to it than just fry the rice
yeah
you have to do it in a seperate pan and add it on
add eggs
its not making it that's the issue
so you want a recipe?
its what ya put in it=)
anything specific?
