whats up with that
Don’t ip spam
when do i wanna use SB vs ip?
bro i havent read anything
you don't use one or the other
i just respecced
ok so go read them
yikes
What talents are you using
Shieldblock to keep it active, spend excess rage on IP
i mean they both cost rage
funny how you have the time to type here but not read lol
ROFL
Devestator yikes
Thats why youre rage starved
no wonder you're rage starved
should i not play it?
I miss when it was good
Nope
Dead talent
Booming voice
They bad
Is better
those people are retards
ay
I mean booming will only give you like 1 extra IP per 25 sec (ish) so not a huge difference but it helps at the start of pulls
link me some sick wa's so i dont deplete this shit
the fuck?
xd
BV gives you a shitload more dmg
15% extra damage
Agreed - but as for being 'rage-starved' the only diff is the 40/cast, no?
devestate doesnt give rage?
Nope
it is
Yep -resets Shield slam and does 1dmg is about jt
and that
It**
yeah a filler
applies deep wounds as well
Gonna tank on my prot for the first time in uldir tonight. Any last minute tips I should know?
when you're tanking hit last stand and when it's back up hit it again
no
Lol
you hit last stand when you want to refresh Shield Block charges
i.e. to cover shield block charge gaps
don't use it on cd if you don't need it
Spam last stand got it
If your shield blocks are exhausted so they can recharge since bolster does the same thing
not for any tanking
please don't give out incorrect advice
stop please
Last stand is used to fill in gaps in your mitigation while providing a small heal to boot. Using it reactively is OK but generally not considered a good thing
<@&257983573498265600> troll in the chat
Lova that isn't how you use LS, and don't be insulting for no reason.
it allows for more healing throughout the encounter and the same amount of block uptime when raid tanking
you use it like I say and it's more optimal as a raid tank
If you can have SB up 100% of tanking time AND do that, maybe fine
It's not the same amount of block uptime if you overlap SB and LS.
the first parts are true, but when you spam last stand, you'll end up with a gap in your mitigation and end up taking more damage in the end
With the SB CS reduction (and lots of haste) it might work
depending on how long you tank the boss yes this is true
CD**
if you use LS while not taking blockable damage yikes
depending on the boss encounter it is up to your own digression on when you use last stand
10 stacks of RA is enough for you to not have to use it on CD anyway
But using LS purely on cooldown is never the right way to use it. The "healing throughput" from LS doens't really matter. You use LS for Shield Block gaps or for periods of high damage intake.
although using it immediately rather then late is far more optimal
I'm sure waiting 15 seconds after SB charges has expired works for most
No because if SB is exhausted and you use LS, SBcan recharge while LS is up giving more block coverage.
but getting it on cd early with all the rage you spend in your opener opens up for more uptime later on
ealier in the encounter
jesus christ lol
no
Oh maybe the very first time or something- I think Lova means to maximize AM
that's correct
so if you have the boss later on with no last stand and die because of it
Opener with avatar, DS, charge gives you stacks of rage, if you use LS before spending that rage then it's up faster sorta thing.. dont think it applies after that though
using it earlier on will save you in that circumstance
you won't die due to having no last stand lol its up every 50 seconds on average
you have shield block
and if you don't use shield block you don't activate AM
which makes the 50 second cd possible
is bastion of might shit?
I think I understand your point of view. Use it faster, get it off cd faster
@last loom its actually a damage talent believe it or not
No - BoM is op in M+ for damage
its funny how it works out
I’m more of a exhaust SB, then use LS while SB recharges.
https://gyazo.com/614de8c9408d00488db35d13492ba736 how do i spec this
Lova -main issue I see is if you use it on CD (or virtually on CD) then it's not up for more of the fight, and you're more likely to not have it when you need it
I think his point was to use it earlier so it comes off cd faster
If you use last stand first then youll have a gap pretty early on on AM
Check the icy veins guide
@last loom READ THE GUIDES
In the pins
Where as you have less gaps expending 3 sb charves
i cant read
Charges*
Then you can't read our reploes
You usually use LS within the first ~20 seconds of the fight anyway, so his point of "using it early" doesn't even make sense.
18 seconds of shield block then a last stand
if you want to use your mitigation early you may as well be dumping all your mitigation on the start to get it on CD
(dont do that)
it makes clear sense it's just use it on cd fill gaps with SB and then recharge for next time you taunt
Otherwise youll just have gaps after the first last stand is on cd, albeit less so now that the cd is reduced but they are still there
It's the other way around Lova - you fill gaps in SB with LS.
Not gaps in LS with SB.
What about mother where you dont taunt and cant allow that time to recharge
uhhh
Mother, Fetid, Taloc, etc.
Taloc i tank 75% of the fight, mother 100%
atleast I don't with how my team reclears mythic
Fetid 100%
This might be news, but not everyone tanks every boss the same way.
yeah you don't have to hate me just because I use last stand on cd or call me stupid
I am a cutting edge prot warrior from pre 8.1
you're free to use it however you want
Same.
But Lova the way you use it works only because of how your group tanks the pulls
ah! falling back to the e-peen thing
no im sure I could manage with any team
Probably, but not with using LS/SB in the way you do
and this works effectively in both m+ and raiding
as it allows for more usage of IP
Fight**
having no block up doesn't necessarily scare me personally
I do have over 2k mastery which helps in dealing with any downtime
ROFL
Whether or not it scares you, its inefficient
though you should guarantee block where possible
Which is the discussion
Yeah if you have that much mastery you can probably get away with it
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Agreed - maximize block uptime! And in long tanking sections, use SB first
i've had moments
To maximize block uptime
@lusty grotto Tone down the toxicity, you can have a conversation and not be so passive aggressive.
@crude ether The point is maximizing block uptime, which is why we're telling you it's incorrect to do things as you do.
what works for me might not work for you, also you can have 100% uptime with what i said
I was following mrrobot for a couple weeks earlier on in 8.0 (full on
never surrender)
lol i mean, i got called out so
you can also burn SW if you're that scared
just trying to get LS off cd faster guys
don't be so sad it works for me
Do tell me how do you have 100% uptime with the way youre using the rotation
Lets say youre maintanking fetid
mitigated uptime yes
You can get 100% uptime for short tanking spurts of 30sec or less, but not for longer
Yeah effective uptime
You can have it with either way with how most fights are
I get 18 seconds of pure SB uptime before i run out of charges and have to use ls and then after that i get another 18 second
¯_(ツ)_/¯
people got different ways of tanking a boss
i SB->Last Stand for first active tanking on Mythrax
so i can get LS + SR to overlap for sheer
the problem is that he was telling people to do it his way
ohh spicy discussion
but I tell people to do my way if they're asking for advice
because that's how i know how to tank it that way
¯_(ツ)_/¯
and then goes off to mention his mythic experience shrug
He can get away with it because he has so much mastery
Do you not say 'If you do this, do this, otherwise do that'?
just for giving advice on how to tank 😏
@crude ether you have what 50% or so mastery in uldir right?
on how to tank and then you say "what works for me, won't work for you"?
mastery isn't the point @oblique garnet
do you see where i'm going with this?
to clarify, what exactly did he say?
Are the 8.1 prot warriors easier to heal in m+ than bears? I'm hearing mixed things from both tanks
it's getting LS off cd quicker so you can use it more in the fight
I'm fine with that thought process
8.1 warrs are OpOp in M+
for some bosses it syncs well with LS
What difference does it make as long as you make sure to have guaranteed blocks up?
if you dump rage properly in some bosses, you'll be able to get LS for some bosses
lul
like Zek/Mythrax
it doesnt guil
if you're using LS on cd you're not using SB and dumping rage, thus not activating AM, thus not affecting your OTHER cds
but if you're not using LS on CD, you're also not abusing your AM too
forgot the "not" part hehe
it's not terrible to dump rage into IP or push more damage into revenge
sure
i guess it makes no difference truly then
except for the parts where you aren't blocking
The time you reduce LS with anger management doesn't outweigh the recharging you get of SB while LS is active if you cast LS while you have SBs.
agreed
there's not that many bosses where we don't have any relief for recharges
and it's not like we already have SB rolling at some parts
If that makes sense.
i mean you also have to take RA into consideration
that's a great point tofu
guys how do you tank shadow of zul on KR ?
not a bad idea to abuse AM once you start up tanking
we're wiping, it seems impossible
lmao yeah
Bloodlust it and spam ip and sr
and demo
on high keys just aggro and speedpot the hell outta that bish
And sw
and externals
you are not face tanking that bitch
u dont tank shadow of zul
u grab aggro and run away
@lusty grotto You know what I hate?
You can tank it

You need to delete that, its tracking shit tier all over the discord
why its the best talents
ah youre right
i know what i did wrong
Its so much, we cant clean it all up
there we go :)
@sick sentinel werent you using those on 2nd world ghuun kill on mythic?
indeed
that was definitely 100% a boss kill and ranking that I definitely was at and contributed to :)
lol

its my first time playing prot
You gotta pump up those numbers

is this normal dmg breakdown?
Pretty much yeah
is the new alchemist stone anygood for tanking? compared to blockades.
It's pretty good
as you can see by my very real warcraftlogs profile @wet hornet i am indeed a mythic raider https://i.imgur.com/Wh8KvfJ.png

on illidaddy (US)
See. His talent choices are valid
Brb, gotta wash this fromunda
it just means I know more about prot than everyone
340 shield is that a big problem?
Yup


You take alot more damage
my healing was really awful in the duengon

i was spoiled though
mistweaver healer
do more ignoring of pain
i should probably have alot more
have you tried ignoring more pain
have you tried installing two weakauras that tell you when you don't have battle shout in your group?
it might increase your hps
@outer dew theres no real benefit in using last stand before shield block charges btw the math just doesnt add up and youre essentially losing 18s of sb uptime initially🤔
This is ofc if its solo tanked boss
It doesnt matter in a scenario with tank swaps
Late what’s your twitch
You should be able to see it on my discord profile
Kk
how's briny barnacle as a DPS trinket? other options are a butcher's block and a fathoms. first 2 are both 370
second trinket is a syringe
going for purely DPS here for farm content/low keys
yeah yamo is right
poggers
eat them
mmmhmmm
but it is funny that a frost mage was only doing 6.5k overall dps
that’s not funny
is there any prot warrior resources on dungeons? like more viable routes for example
yea idk i do like 15-16k as fury if the tank pulls quick
yea
raider.io has a route for all dungeons
two routes per
one for everyone and one for specific group comps
(the "expert" routes)
with method dungeon tools import codes
specifically tuned for this week's affixes
I LOVE cshb for m+

kinda
sorry quick question does anyone know of Servant Splitter proc on 1 target or more than that?
doesn't sy anything on the guide
it's pretty bad
just 1 target iirc
but if its your highest dps weapon use it
i had a log where we tested it
@oblique garnet si, you're not wrong
but i cant 100% remember if it was single target only so i could be wrong
but very rarely do you have a scenario
where you should be solo tanking a boss
for raid anyway
¯_(ツ)_/¯
btw i might stream some m+ tonight but there will be spanish yelling so :X
yeah just waiting on my team to log on
😄

@crude ether, your arguement is that using LS on pull is better because you get more Last Stands and the block uptime is the same. That's not true. You lose uptime by doing that.
Let's say a fight is 2 minutes and 45 seconds long. With 15% Haste SB has a 14 second recharge time buit to make this simple say SB has a 15 sec CD. And let's say LS is a 1 minute CD.
If you use LS on pull you don't have SBlock recharging while it's up.
LS on pull - 15 seconds of LS, followed by 12 seconds of SB, 3 second gap, then 6 more seconds of SB, 9 second gap, etc...
SB on pull - 12 seconds of SB, followed by 15 seconds of LS, 6 more seconds of SB (next charge comes 3 seconds into this SB), 6 more seconds of SB, 6 second gap, etc...
Those are both 45 second sequences.
LS on pull gets you 33 seconds of Block uptime.
SB on pull gets you 39 seconds of Block uptime, aka another Sblock charge. And actually, as you'll see, using SB on pull always grants an extra 2 charges worth of SBlock over using LS on pull.
Sequences extending for the full 2:45 duration:
LS on pull - 15 LS, 12 SB, 3 G, 6 SB, 9 G, 6 SB, 9 G, 15 LS, 12 SB, 3 G, 6 SB, 9 G, 6 SB, 9 G, 15 LS, 12 SB, 3 G, 6 SB, 9 G
111 seconds of Block uptime.
SB on pull - 12 SB, 15 LS, 12 SB, 6 G, 6 SB, 9 G, 6 SB, 9 G, 15 LS, 12 SB, 3 G, 6 SB, 9 G, 6 SB, 9G, 6 SB, 15 LS, 6 SB, 3 G, 6 SB
123 seconds of Block uptime, or an extra 2 Shield Block charges.
LS on pull is a Block uptime loss, plain and simple.
AM roughtly cuts cooldowns in half, which equates to gaining/spending 10 rage per second. LS is generally used within ~20 seconds of a given fight. Or rather after 2/3 Sblock uses depending on haste. With a 15 second SB CD you can use LS after the first two SBs without losing SB recharge time. So in this case that would be at 12 seconds into the fight. So say you use LS on pull to "have LS up more".
By using LS on pull, you get 20 extra seconds of AM working on LS, or, in other words 200 rage is spent towards AM.
But, that doesn't really matter, because when using SB on pull that LS is not on cooldown, so you're not "losing" anything. LS is used essentially on cooldown in both cases, and in both cases have the same cooldown.
The only thing you're doing is making LS available 12-21 seconds earlier than if you use SBlock on pull. So no, you don't get to use LS more. You'll get an extra LS use if the fight happens to end 12-21 seconds you would be able to use LS if using SBlock on pull. That's it.
Not only is that more than likely NOT going to happen in most situations, even if it does, having an extra LS right at the end of a fight is more often than not not going to help you in any significant way.
srry kinda late but i had to afk for a bit :^)
worth it
oh yes
welp
tl;dr if you use LS/Bolster on pull instead of SBlock you're a big dummy
lol
can we pin this
I mean I understand what he meant, but the proofs in the numbers.
And you can't deny those.
Hi @fierce juniper
hello
Have you seen my new doggos?
marok is cute. CUTE!
good job
my stream is live
link idiot
@fierce juniper First off, you're right with what you said and I appreciate what you do here and I'm only here to theory craft and am not trying to make enemies, friends at that. Though I stated earlier this was for raid tanking and not mythic plus or sustained tanking over a period of time which is what you showed here,
This is for when you tank in bursts of windows 25-27 seconds which is usually what is needed for fights such as mythrax, g'huun and others where the melees do not continue to 30 seconds due to faster swaps or the magic buster
the purpose of this strategy is to open up more windows to tank prolonged earlier in the fight and being able to use last stand within 2 instances of pulling threat from the boss. also increasing HPS considerably
through the healing of LS. Although I would only recommend this strategy with high haste as it allows more abuse of Vanguard, Anger Management and the healing throughput
LS 15 SB 12 SR [For the Buster] Swap
This opener would allow more frequent abuse of Vanguard and the healing throughput of LS although YES a hindrance to extended tanking although no hindrance to raid tanking something many are misunderstanding
This is theory crafting people and yes sometimes it won't make sense at first but if you think about it long enough yes their is more then one way to play prot warrior in a situation and people should be open to that
Guys sorry for the (maybe) newb question but Im gearing up my prot warrior (375 atm) and I dont know which trinkets to try and target through M+. I know the raid ones from Mythrax and G'huun are pretty decent but what about the others? Im assuming the Rezan one that procs haste is pretty good aswell..anything else?
It's pretty good for phat IPs too
right now im using 370 animated vial and I have the 355 version of mythrax/g'huun trinkets, also I got a 370 "Ancient Tuskarr Sea Charm" from the Tortollans emissary (STR stat and versa random proc)
I feel like damage is already really good so maybe it's better to focus on something defensive like the trinket from mythrax?
how do you focus on something that drops once per week?
sorry by "focus on" I meant "give priority to that if I have it"
once you are ok with how defensive you are you should focus on dmg to get bosses dead quicker
Well Im used to Blood DK so the M+ runs sometimes still feel really weird, in m+10 I sometimes feel like a piece of paper compared to my DK, but that might also be due to the Dk being like 387 with optimised gear
You should probably use Mythrax if you're a DK main
i mean technically optimized gear for prot warrior is highest ilvl
Lova, what do you mean it would allow more frequent "abuse of Vanguard" and more LS healing. You do not get extra uses of LS by using it on pull unless the fights ends in a very specific time window where had you not used it on pull it wouldn't be up. In which case you get 1 extra LS at the very end of the fight.
You don't get anything extra out of AM either as I showed above.
If you're on a fight where swaps somewhat easily allow for 100% effective block uptime, then it doesn't really matter if you use LS or SB on pull, because you'll have 100% effective uptime either way.
However, going by your example where a tank buster happens at 17 seconds into the fight or whatever, you'd be much better off NOT using LS on the pull. 12 SB 15 LS is the same thing except you have LS up for the tank buster, which is strictly better. There might be some timings where using LS on pull is better if it lines up in a way where you get to have LS up for an additonal mechanic hit, and that's only if you're already at 100% effective Block uptime.
Anyway, to say that using LS on pull instead of Shield Block is better for raiding is objectively false in 99% of situations.
Ok guys thanks, it's 3 am here so time for bed 😄 catch you around
Was there raid testing on the PTR yet ?
yes multiple times
Was hesitating between going prot or vdh but my guess was tending more on protw
Basically all I'm saying @fierce juniper in this theory is with the extra use of LS you get more survivability and an extra 80k heal which could make or break a fight.
Although yes in most situations this strategy is flawed for sustained tanking and physical busters, for fights specific such as mythrax it's viable where HP is a large factor it is very viable as well as phase 3 ghuun where landing a final last stand could keep you up through the final damage of the encounter through the max hp 30% buff and 30% healing throughput of all the used LS, it's very similar to how IP heals
It isn't dramatically superior, although their are moments at 1-2 SB charges where LS is the better option. That's what I mean here and that these 1% situations can be calculated
nice hydrocore @lusty grotto
lol
Man you gotta love that feeling of being 361 ilvl and still rocking 320 pants...damn loot pinata for belts though.
i know it's only 355 but has anyone tried the sanguinated alchemists stone?
is KhaniKhan's WA worth using? or does anyone have a dece recommendation for a beginner prot war?
WA suites are mostly preferential anyways, khakhan's has been pretty credible
real pros use Alt +Z
that's all?
you are a prot warrior, unless it was a raid..why were you with a blood dk?
did a run as dps never seen the quacking affix before
this is my first season of m+
I haven't seen quacking either, that's ducking scary
and what is the point of posting a dks hps in here?
oh i was just wondering what approach i would use if i was tanking instead of him
We'll have much less HPS but our DTPS will be significantly lower too.
also, if you were dps then you should be recounting this tale of Deathknight heroism in one of the channels where the filthy dps hang out, the pilavs and Bahjeera's of the world... this is a place for divine beings of light; prot warriors.
so that's like saying "I saw a Fire mage pull 20k dps, so i"m going to post in Fury to ask how I can do that"
all aside, you can't really look at a DKs hps and try and emulate it as a Prot warrior. Dk's are literally designed around healing. We are not
Now..if you said "I went to do bareback brawl..(still the best worldquest ever invented) and saw a prot warrior shield slam a DK so hard, his character was deleted and he had a heart attack IRL.." then I want to know how to do that shield slam~.
I just don't know how you have bareback brawl in game. Then have a new xpac supposedly designed around alliance/horde fighting...and then DON'T have a new bareback brawl??
😆
well why would it be the bareback brawl, when it clearly should be nautically themed with us on Sharks
because you can't goat ram someone off a cliff?
what if you could ram someone into a roving Kraken
naw..if you could shoot them into the sky, and they explode like a firework. I'll take it.
🤔
hello
dragon charge should be baseline and the collision should be improved to more consistently allow me to blast people off of lumbermill in arathi basin
Holla at ya boi
lol
That looks dumb, I want it
So what’s the deal with the mount
Does it fly
Can it swat multiple people
Seat
Looks like a boss from half-life 1
island expeditions still the best way to level?
@astral crystal it flies
When using the mount, you transform into the mount directly. You can then carry up to 4 more people.
Ok but does it have eyes in the inside, and if so can it tell us why the sugary cinnamon swirls in the cereal are to be feared?
how many people actually get the bloodborne reference here?
Prot is so fun now
BfI is a great tanking trait though archive is more popular in m+ for pure dps purposes.
so what are 3 must-have azerite traits for m+ ?
DC is the only must have
Beyond that many people seem to enjoy stacking 2 archive for the DPS
hmm ok
Some of the new traits like Intimidating Presence and Bastion of Might could be strong for pulling very big packs or in high keys generally
How do you decide on when to change to a higher ilvl azerite piece that has worst stats, when neither of them has DC or uldir archive
is it a bit of a judge case by case scenario
How does a higher ilvl azerite piece of have worst stats?
i meant traits
Regardless Brace for Impact and Iron Fortress are still fine defensive traits, especially if you're getting a decent ilvl upgrade
The only trait that's hard to ditch for a decent ilvl jump is deafening crash
Callous Reprisal is a pretty strong DPS trait that scales well with more targets
If you feel like you don't need the tankiness from BoI then that's a pretty straightforward upgrade
ok tnx
@mild maple u seem to have good knowlage, would u go 1x DC 1x bastion 1x rchive or 1x dc 2x archive?
for m+
I would play DC 2x Archive, but I don't really push keys. The strength of Bastion is in knowing that it'll let you pull and burn a bigger pull than you otherwise would have. So I guess if you're trying a big pull and dying then maybe Bastion could help.
Realistically archive wont matter in a month and some change anyways because all the higher ilvl pieces wont have it.
If you're only doing 10s then double archive is fine.
well 10+ 12 13 14 15
I'd probably use double archive until the 14/15 and beyond that it's going to depend on the instance and what kind of pulls you want to do
In that case I'd run Bastion for everything
Well, maybe not everything but for all the above M+

1 archive 1 dc 1 bom if those are your highest ilvl pieces
reprisal instead archive would be my highest
For uldir drop ilvl for archive but for m+ its your call
Hi guys, what azerite trait i should stack? Or for prot warrior that's a bad idea to do ?
Guys, what's a good M+ to focus on for a 1h weapon?
I almost always try to run 1 DC, 1 BFI, and 1 IF
however I change to 2 BFI for M+ depending on the situation
like what situation ?
Also, isn't BoM a must trait?
It isnt but its the best for m+ damage wise
@marble cipher Atal has the only haste 1 hander of the dungeons I think
Sethralis has one too
btw and for SB i should spam it when i can or i need to time it in m+ ?
K, will focus a bit on those, thanks
Where I want to get the on demand extra block for teeming, and or where I want to have just overall higher on demand block for raiding mainly for me
On most trash pulls, just spam it. On bosses there are some mechanics you want to time your SB
plus slightly harder hitting shield slams is always nice even if its not huge
pins will lead you to where to find your stat itemization but yeah you can pretty much never have too much haste
there is no real cap to haste
so i gues it's like haste vers, haste mastery items mainly best to eq
right
yeah with relevance to item level with the exception of 1 DC trait
DC is still worth a literal ton of item levels so that being the one exception
otherwise if its 45 item levels or more then yes it would be ok to replace DC but otherwise no and you should still try to have at least one of your azerite pieces with DC if its your highest ilvl or not
As I said the 45 ilvl rule
either way get 1 DC and then go off of item level as it will not be huge game changing beyond that
If you can get pieces with BFI, and IF then yes definitely go for those but if you cannot do not pass up a item level upgrade to use anything besides DC
As the pins will lead you to discover any increase to stats, and by that meaning secondary stats is better then not gaining them in favor of keeping the ones you want unless its like ~5 item levels and then I let it slide sometimes
Given that we have no sim profile to generate stat weights to begin with
I would think so
There is no pawn string so ywah
Itemisation is very simple, if it's higher ilvl you should equip it. Maybe keep a haste ring over a non-haste ring if the upgrade is only 5 ilvls or so.
Just remember on shield ilvl>sockets etc
Ppl can u share ur dtps per one ~12key
Havent logged one key since 8.1
Vile of Animated Blood or Darkmoon Deck Blockades?
depends on if you need the extra stam
@pale vigil vial for extra damage blockades for extra survIvability
I was thinking vial now with the recent changes
@ashen flower as long as you have dc in the highest ilvl piece possible, you just go with ilvl
@sick sentinel rly?
Even if you take out bom or archive for CR is still better
There are no bad prot warr traits
Same, and it's good
Do I want to replace it? Yes, but not because its bad, but because it has UF for fury
If those 2 are your highest ilvl, sure
Oh, don't ask me about that, me and azerite veins are not in good terms
So I will not answer objectively
😄
AV probably still best out of those
I would personally go with OP, because azerite veins is really unreliable, but wait for an answer from a yellow or a better player than me, like late
Oh late is here
:D
^^ k
I would agree that it is a lot better in m+ than raids
And basically if your healer is a disc or resto druid, it is really really good
Because you rarely get topped
But I run with a holy pala a lot, so I get topped all the time
I run with resto druid ^
That's why you like it :p
it heals less than my impassive visage tho
About what?
Azerite pieces
Seems good if those are his highest pieces + 1 DC
Ok, perfect :D
Im only dropping ilvl for 2xBoM just for the memes and i dont feel the need for additional survivability
Dont recommend it for everyone tho XD
Also, impressive visage is really good because its reliable and has basically 100% "uptime"
Pretty much yeah
Like, it procs on cd
Not sure how I feel about gemhide btw
Because things that Chuck me are aoe sometimes so avoidance should be helpful (like the shadow damage cleave in manor) but I don't know what damage is affected by avoidance and what isn't
Ofc the armor is always helpful
I might be bad but things week I found the right wing of manor substantially easier than the left
On the left I was pulling 2 packs at a time and on the right I was popping engineering belt/skysteps to pull as big as infested allowed me to
+15 btw
Well yeah right wing doesnt have those guards
Its probably easier since you can block the ranged attacks now
but its a slower route overall
Since it takes a while for you to reach first boss
But easier completion
this engeneering belt can still fail, right?
No
I have never had it fail
no? .. n1
In m+ and raids you always get 70% speed
ah, thx for info
Whereas in outworld content you either get 150%, a dot or flown up in the air
With varying durations on the speed
They made it consistent for "competitive" content
The engy belt shield needs a buff imo
I used it in the start and I was quite good, now though that I pull bigger and bigger I want the speed
Yeah the kite is real at higher keys
You can use the speed to kite, you can use it for the back hand in KR
I use it to pull big mainly :P
you can just deal with the backhand on kr with taunts
Requires coordination with pugs tho
When I have people in comms, yeah that's how I deal with it
also what engineering belt speed? o.O you mean nitro boots
hmm
done 12 +2 quite easy, casters still doing huge dmg tho
easyer to tank 3 melee grpups then 1 group with 2 casters
"working as intended"
Well yeah its fortified week and if casters are free casting it gets rough
y

Big damage
And yeah, that's what I was taking about in manor
Right wing has no casters
Well, worms but who cares
You can spell reflect the infest cast and the worm dies
oh, dident know that
the worms are w/e
we basically pulled the entire right wing and just exploded them all
cant wait to get rid of infested tho
Yeah exactly
Skystep to pull and hc leap back
100 k dps easy
I wanna get my second BoM but it is on the same slot my DC is
I will buy a 385 helm and just hope it has either DC (best scenario) or it has bom (second best)
If it has dc then I will have 1 dc 2 bom, all 390
I wouldnt recommend buying since they dont even have the extra tier
