protection

[outer dew]

Did they really nerf keys that much ?

[sick sentinel]

I'm trying to maximize 10 speed

[hot locust]

Did the packs before first boss just fine in mid-high keys.

[oblique garnet]

The platform packs?

[hot locust]

yeah

[outer dew]

No wonder people pushed me out so fast when I took a break

Zzzzz

[oblique garnet]

They are okayish as long as you keep interrupts

[sick sentinel]

it's more that ip came off gcd

[oblique garnet]

If you miss its painful

[hot locust]

Once you get to like 17 and 18 it can start getting sweaty though

[sick sentinel]

and more people started playing prot

what do you prio int on that platform

blood bolts?

[outer dew]

Dark Reconstructions

[oblique garnet]

The mask

[hot locust]

Gift/reconstruction

[sick sentinel]

ah

nobody was even inting dark omen

[outer dew]

And harrowing gift

[sick sentinel]

it doesn't do a lot of damage on its own

[hot locust]

and nuke the mask

[oblique garnet]

You can stun the dark omen

[sick sentinel]

oh sweet

[oblique garnet]

Not interrupt

[outer dew]

And scream at your DH/Shaman to get rid 9f the cheat death

[sick sentinel]

I use my stun to gen threat

on pull

[lavish oracle]

Had to do the plat in a 14 earlier, still hurt a lot

Didn't wipe us but wasn't fun

[sick sentinel]

tc -> avatar -> shockwave -> revenge / tc

[oblique garnet]

Its the one cast that goes off on the mask and everyone dies

[outer dew]

Yea, but dark Reconstructions extends how long you're on the plat

[warm plinth]

If you're super worried about threat, you can just precast Avatar as you run in. Saves you a global.

Or mid-charge

[lavish oracle]

You can cc the priest

[sick sentinel]

ppl tend to take threat off of me very often

if I don't control it at start

[oblique garnet]

Clap harder

[sick sentinel]

like saurids in atal?

[outer dew]

Doing something very wrong

[oblique garnet]

Also its skittish

[warm plinth]

Do intercept>Avatar>TC>etc.

[sick sentinel]

i have given up taking threat on saurids

I'm like 60% sure threat on them actually doesn't matter

[lavish oracle]

If you have a lock you can straight up cc the mask

[oblique garnet]

I love it when rogues forget to tricks on skittish week and they get smacked around

[sick sentinel]

aberration?

[oblique garnet]

Yup

Banish

[sick sentinel]

thought so

brings back aggramar memories

[oblique garnet]

Same with thornguards in wm

[sick sentinel]

gotcha

[oblique garnet]

And the black souls

[jade socket]

@sick sentinel you wanna do keys with talic xeos and I?

need tank

[sick sentinel]

@jade socket srue

[oblique garnet]

Oh weep getting carried good for you

[warm plinth]

That moment when the Val'kyr choose you.

[oblique garnet]

Oh nice talic is streaming it @sick sentinel no pressure

[sick sentinel]

hmm

I was just going to ask weep for terraria but nvm

[oblique garnet]

You should move the boss

[sick sentinel]

🤔

[oblique garnet]

So the adds dont go into it xD

[sick sentinel]

nah

too lazy

[oblique garnet]

Yeah it was only 11

On higher key 2 adds going to the boss thats a wipe

[sick sentinel]

tru

pog 14 kr

@oblique garnet gimme thos kr tips and tricks

we have zero cc

[hot locust]

tfw you wanna run keys with the skyhold crew but you are stuck at work watching Talic stream it instead

[warm plinth]

Is this still you tanking @sick sentinel ?

[sick sentinel]

yea

[oblique garnet]

Kr tips and tricks @sick sentinel try to stay alive

[sick sentinel]

too late

[oblique garnet]

It makes the run much easier if someone is interrupting the spectral bolt spam

[sick sentinel]

YEAH.

stopped watching when they killed second boss

it was going too well for me to watch... 20 mins later, still on the bridge monkaS

[warm plinth]

This druid is weep's druid counterpart

"I'm a raider, not an mplus junkie" 😂

[oblique garnet]

I feel bad for weep having to constantly take those bolts

[warm plinth]

It's not their fault; they only have 4 15 second interrupts

sarcasm

[oblique garnet]

What happens when skyhold raiders go to m+ lul

[warm plinth]

It was fun to watch at least. I'd never seen KR before.

I couldn't believe those 3 mobs that took forever (after 1st boss sometime) weren't a boss.

[sick sentinel]

on fortified, after the first boss the room is just 4 more bosses

i suck @ tanking

[warm plinth]

Idk it seemed like you were doing fine to me.

Everyone makes mistakes sometimes.

[sick sentinel]

spectral bolt spectral bolt spectral bolt spectral bolt spectral bolt spectral bolt spectral bolt spectral bolt spectral bolt spectral bolt spectral bolt spectral bolt spectral bolt spectral bolt spectral bolt spectral bolt spectral bolt spectral bolt spectral bolt spectral bolt

[warm plinth]

Those weren't your fault though right? Can't that be interrupted?

[sick sentinel]

Ya

I'm memeing about it anyway though

[warm plinth]

lol

[wide girder]

I heard the next week will be a cake in m+?

[warm plinth]

Yeah, probably the easiest week tbh

Teem/volc/tyr

[dire wyvern]

raging/volc/tyr probably easier

but teeming is no issue on tyr

except for random patterns in atal

[warm plinth]

Depends on dungeon somewhat too I would say

[dire wyvern]

for sure

[sick sentinel]

Raging on Kings Rest is hell

Literally only because of Zul

[oblique garnet]

Raging is for sure worse than teeming

One raging water blast or salt blast 200k

[remote spire]

Whats the best way to keep rage up ? ( Just in case new to the game )

[modest wedge]

shield slam and thunder clap and occasional demo shout

[remote spire]

I see thx

[warm plinth]

You also get range from hitting stuff and being melee'd.

rage*

[dire wyvern]

getting a juicy raging reflect tho

😄

[remote spire]

The thing is i rlly wanna like keep rage for activiting this buff which reduces the smg by 50% and hold it all time on cooldown but then my brain tells me to aint forget revenge so there r 4 buttons i need to spamm every second xD HOW?!

[modest wedge]

just get revenge out of your ability bar

useless except free cost

[dire wyvern]

raging might be harder within itself but teeming as an affix sometimes makes needing an extra interrupt in a pack, different paths and generally longer time to do trash so timers will be harder with teeming than raging

but both weeks are ofc the best available

[remote spire]

Free costs on Revenge ?

Cast  Shield Slam on cooldown. Watch out for resets from Devastate, Thunder Clap, and Revenge.

Cast  Thunder Clap on cooldown.

Cast  Revenge only if it is free.

Cast  Devastate.

This is from icyveins i do exactly this all the time

[modest wedge]

when its flashing its a rage free to use

[dire wyvern]

dodge/parry = free revenge

[remote spire]

ahhhhhhh i see ok

Oh its written there .m

[sick sentinel]

time to quit prot

[remote spire]

"only if its free"

Why weep?

[sick sentinel]

because talic sux

[remote spire]

Talic?

[remote spire]

I see

Demoralizing Shout should also be cast on cooldown (when using  Booming Voice) and is technically first in the ability priority. Out of all your Rage generating abilities, it generates the most Rage.

I have no spell called booming voice

[modest wedge]

talent

[remote spire]

Rip me

I need this man 40 rage 4 free

Supp dawg

[oblique garnet]

@sick sentinel ??? What why

[sick sentinel]

what

[oblique garnet]

Why are you quitting prot

[sick sentinel]

im not

its meme

[oblique garnet]

Did you deplete another one?

[warm plinth]

Talic traumatized her

[sick sentinel]

spectral bolt spectral bolt spectral bolt spectral bolt spectral bolt

[warm plinth]

😂

[sick sentinel]

its more like kr sucks with an inexperienced tank and full melee dps

and a druid who's never done it

[oblique garnet]

Lala you need to go help these bois with the interrupts

And girls

[hot locust]

Faun is not so great at M+ :^)

[sick sentinel]

i noticed

good healer though

[hot locust]

Dude I fuckin' kick on CD to my own detriment most of the time.

Yeah, and he's hella good in raid

[warm plinth]

I consider myself having failed if I'm not #1 on the interrupt chart in a dungeon.

[hot locust]

Pretty sure he has done even less M+ than you though Weep.

Was surprised I saw him running with you guys.

[sick sentinel]

i wonder

if i didnt have an anxiety disorder

and i had more than 6 fps in uldir

would someone say I'm hella good in raid

[warm plinth]

You need to get a new PC lol

[sick sentinel]

help pay for one for me

or else i cant titty stream

[warm plinth]

I just paid $1100 for one for my girlfriend. I'm tapped out atm lol.

[hot locust]

yikes

[warm plinth]

That escalated quickly.

[oblique garnet]

Damn

[sick sentinel]

I'm running the equivalent of a gtx 750 ti in a laptop with integrated graphics

it's bad

[warm plinth]

I'm about to titty stream for Whisperwind so I can have gold for my horde toons. Think there's any market for horde toons in Goldshire?

[sick sentinel]

idk

i was memeing

but yeah

i have a rly bad pc

[warm plinth]

I know lol.

That's pretty terrible.

[sick sentinel]

but hey

i got cutting edge

[warm plinth]

That's like the folks back in the day raiding Gruul's and SSC on dial-up.

[sick sentinel]

basically

[oblique garnet]

I still dont have CE smh

[warm plinth]

I have AotC

For Xavius

[warm plinth]

Oh lord a single core CPU 😂

[sick sentinel]

that's not what that says

[warm plinth]

Oh, single core score. I was like wait, how old is this thing

[sick sentinel]

1-2 years 😦

[warm plinth]

Are you running two displays? Laptop screen and a monitor?

[sick sentinel]

ya

i just want fps

😦

[oblique garnet]

@sick sentinel win10?

[sick sentinel]

ya

does not support win7

no drivers for mouse

just doesnt work

ive tried

[sick sentinel]

failing a 14 KR

almsot as much score as timing a 13

hmmm

+13 timed is 133 not 130

how am i suppsoed to know that

wcm +1 11 is 110

10 +1 is 100

how am i supposed to know that it suddenly jumps up 3

I was not saying you were supposed to know it

I am just letting you know

and +14 is 146 score

[last cloud]

f

wc

[sick sentinel]

??????

@sick sentinel im sorry

i got too ahead of myself

im very tired

dw it's fine

[drowsy relic]

Are there any solid tanking elvui profiles?

or addons we should use

[oblique garnet]

Wdym by that?

What are you looking for?

[drowsy relic]

oops I meant is there any weakauras tanks should be using in M+ **

sorry kinda new to addons

[oblique garnet]

Hmm interrupt tracker , m+ mechanics wa and some sort of external/affix tracker etc

You dont necessarily need them

But it makes it easier

[sick sentinel]

Get a interput announcer and I strongly suggest Method Dungeon Tools for personal use

[remote spire]

Can some guys post their ability bar for prot ?

[molten wedge]

@remote spire https://gyazo.com/842a15ca3d202ba08a8319e10f06a694

[astral crystal]

Yoooo

Thunderclap bound to 3 master fucking race

My DUDE

[sick sentinel]

dragon roar LUL

[weary socket]

Hey guys about the azerit traits one Deafening Crash and ond Brace for Impact but as 3.? a 2. Brace for impact or maybe a bloodsport?

[ebon hound]

Hey I like Dragon Roar :'(

[cosmic cargo]

the value of brace for impact number 2 is the same as the first

[weary socket]

yea i know that why i ask

[cosmic cargo]

i think a lot of people are running BoM for dungeons though

[sick sentinel]

They are but only for damage

Not for survivability

[cosmic cargo]

compared to bloodsport for example i'd say it's a no brainer, trait that gives a bunch of dps and some survivability vs some survibaility and 0 dps

[oblique garnet]

BoM is overall really good

[cosmic cargo]

yeh

[sick sentinel]

But can it replace the hole in my heart that is t21 2piece bonus

[nova gale]

#yikers

[marble cipher]

butthole clenching intensifies

[urban walrus]

In a pure DPS perspective is it a dps gain to use shield block when you are not going to rage cap at all ( eg no free revenges)

For the extra damage on SS

[oblique garnet]

@nova gale good luck be prepared

[nova gale]

Like I am outta here bro

[oblique garnet]

I did 20 yesterday

With right setup it doable

[nova gale]

In time?

😮

[oblique garnet]

Hell no

[nova gale]

that what I mean lol

[oblique garnet]

We didnt have right setup

If you have monk and a boomkin its doable

[nova gale]

Our setup owns btw. double warrior rogue monk boomie

I dunno. KR should be fine next week

I have a couple of really shit keys dragging me down

I just wanna get a decent TOS done this week

[sick sentinel]

Even with the buff to the first boss in ToS u can smoke it very easily now even on tyran weeks

The hardest boss is no longer the 3rd, now it's the first but at least then u will know if u can continue if u don't wipe twice

if you are melee , just walk though the boss

if you are ranged, pray

for the tornado things

if your dps don't hit the lightning shields. you should be fine

[lavish oracle]

The bug where adderis keeps turning with the cyclone strike target is annoying af, though

Especially when you have fidgety dps

[zinc creek]

I thought I so a prot warrior completed a +20 kr on time

[cosmic cargo]

top KR run is by a prot warr

[civic aspen]

What stats should i prioritize for maximizing DPS?

[sick sentinel]

All of them, none with a minor exception to haste are better than the other

Since haste affects both the gcd and our SB recharge time, none are worse or better than the other

[signal plover]

Just hit up dat ilvl

[sick sentinel]

Pretty much

We have the most straightforward outlook when it comes to stats, which some people can dislike

[cosmic cargo]

i highly doubt that mastery is close to crit in terms of dps

it's the last (or one of the last) dps stats for the other tanks

and crit is top or second also for pretty much all

[sick sentinel]

Contrary to crit though mastery gives more ignore pain as well

[cosmic cargo]

speaking purely dps wise

[sick sentinel]

Dps,yeah crit should do more

[dapper copper]

Can a dps taunt m ghuun to reset stacks?

[marble cipher]

Yes

[dapper copper]

kk ty

[cosmic cargo]

no they can't

it has to hit a tank

@dapper copper

[undone raft]

apothecary's concoctions have any use in m+? like proccing from aoe dmg and the heal from azerite veins or something? Or just garbo

[marble cipher]

@cosmic cargo @dapper copper I stand corrected, apparently it has to indeed be a tank role. Could've sworn our arms taunted at one point with dbts, must have missed it being the other tank. Just checked logs.

@undone raft I tried it on my brewmaster, it was complete garbo

And that was with double AV and IV traits, so more than enough healing coming in.

[lavish oracle]

@cosmic cargo our mastery directly boosts our attack power

[cosmic cargo]

every single tank mastery does that

doesn't make it less mediocre for dps

[lavish oracle]

I mean, during avatar, thunderclap scales like 1:1 with attack power

50% base, 100% damage increase from UF, I think that math checks out

[upbeat beacon]

Hey guys, been gone for about three weeks, is prot viable since last patch yet or still shit?

for mythic raiding and pushing M+ up to 15

[lavish oracle]

Was never shit. Very viable now

[upbeat beacon]

i saw ignore pain is off the GCD which is nice

did it get buffed too or nah

[lavish oracle]

Arguably the 2nd best tank for keys now

[crystal creek]

we can block ranged, IP & intercept off GCD

We smoooth.

[lavish oracle]

2 seconds off SB recharge, able to block ranged, some other spells off GCD

[drowsy relic]

Any prot warriors streaming atm?

[sick sentinel]

No

They died

[lavish oracle]

Darkee streams prot sometimes

Switches between DK and prot

[sick sentinel]

Blizzard dmca any prot streamers because they aren't playing bdk

Well it's new years

Not in America, the center of the world

Kek

[silk mortar]

It's a globe

Center could be pretty much anywhere

Also new year hasnt struck here yet >;3

[lavish oracle]

I don't think its struck anywhere west of berlin yet

I stand corrected, just turned midnight in moscow, Berlin still has a couple hours

[sick sentinel]

11:04 pm in Greece rn

Yeah well, shut up

[zinc mauve]

@upbeat beacon some dungeons are cancer and prot warrior blows without a good group, then again, same could be said about practically any tank

[sick sentinel]

something really enjoyable about playing prot warrior

i dunno if my new pc would be powerful enough to stream wow but i may give it a shot one day. no promises

[rapid drift]

thoughts on shadow of elune trait?

[sick sentinel]

Use a prot trait instead

[tender phoenix]

For Azerite gear is it better to have Bis or ilvl? bis with Brace for Impact 345 or Iron Fortress at 375

[sick sentinel]

ilvl

[open bluff]

^

[sick sentinel]

You should drop 15 ilvls for your first deafening crash trait if you're doing m+

[open bluff]

You only sacrifice ilvl for your first DC

[tender phoenix]

ah ok thanks for the info

[daring marlin]

viable?

[sick sentinel]

V I A B L E

[lavish oracle]

[Viable intensifies]

[old zephyr]

There is a bunch of dungeons Where prot is amazing though

[sick sentinel]

Like manor

[old zephyr]

Manor, free hold UR

[sick sentinel]

And Free-hold

[lavish oracle]

Manor, FH, and UR are all great

[old zephyr]

Dem free hold Bigpulls

[lavish oracle]

We kinda get shit on in KR, Shrine, and ML

[old zephyr]

Avatar intensify

Shrine is no that bad

I'd say pretty good actually

[sick sentinel]

1 cast goes off

dies

[lavish oracle]

Is it? I've always had issues with it.

[old zephyr]

But It's kinda the dame for other tanks

[lavish oracle]

Yeah, the casters fuck my shit up

[old zephyr]

On fortified it can be though on tyranical, AKA push week It's OK

[lavish oracle]

Being able to reflect the 3rd boss is definitely nice, though

[sick sentinel]

I like the third boss

[old zephyr]

Reflect 3rd, facetank 2nd

[sick sentinel]

You can pummel- spell reflect- pummel

[old zephyr]

1st and 4th bot so much the6tabk can do anyway

[sick sentinel]

Handle 3 casts on your own

[lavish oracle]

You can reflect choking brine on the first boss but I'm not sure it does much

[sick sentinel]

You don't get the debuff

[old zephyr]

My favorite boss is manor 3re though

Press buttons ignore mechanics

[lavish oracle]

Pig or witches?

[old zephyr]

Of 2n then

Not 3rd

The soul golem

[lavish oracle]

Pig is fun when you can pull the room into it and lust

End up with almost 40k average DPS for the fight :smile:

[sick sentinel]

Golem is nice

As prot

[lavish oracle]

Whole dungeon is great as prot, really

[old zephyr]

Everything is joke

Sisters you spell reflect the for luls.
Golem is luls
Pig is luls
Lord and Lady get some nive reflect as well.
An Last boss you6have so many stuns you can ignore mechanics as well

[lavish oracle]

2 bosses with great reflectables, 1 boss to showcase shield block, 1 to showcase our Aoe

[warm plinth]

You have great reflectables. Good morning Skyhold.

[old zephyr]

But free hold is still the best free upgrade to your key.
It's even written on it

[lavish oracle]

Hm, my emotes are broken

[stark sage]

global emotes are only enabled in #off-topic

[lavish oracle]

Ah, damn

It was a butt

[old zephyr]

[warm plinth]

The golden boys know we're not to be trusted with global emojis.

We'll use them for evil.

[sick sentinel]

I do not thing golden boys have that much of a say in it

It's more on the blue boys

[warm plinth]

Yeah I know. But golden boys is more fun to say than blue boys.

Unless I start calling them the blue man group.

That would work

[sick sentinel]

More like, green lad and purple girl

[warm plinth]

I have problems with blue and purple. Who is purple?

[sick sentinel]

Vel

[warm plinth]

Ah okay.

[broken moon]

Hey guys

New to Prot. I’m a brewmaster main. I’ve really enjoyed Prot due to how active it is and it’s damage

And pointers/quality of life tips? That aren’t in the pins

[hot locust]

Uh thats a pretty broad thing, and the pins do a good job of covering that. If you have any particular questions though I'm sure we'd be more than capable of helping.

[sick sentinel]

is there a more efficient way of dealing with infested than simply CC'ing the relevant mob and pulling the rest away to kill first?

[old zephyr]

How to play prot : meme edition

1. Bigpull
2. Bolster
3. Avatar
4. 
5. Go back to 1.

[sick sentinel]

i don't have alot of experience dealing with infested yet

[hot locust]

Depends on the pack, but nah not really. Either that or nuke it first.

[old zephyr]

Most of the pack I just charge in and nuke it.
Then shockwave The ghhuunies. They die with in the 2 secs of cc usually

[sick sentinel]

i feel safe doing 7-9's now but that infested stuff...

[hot locust]

It's not so bad really, just a bit tedious.

[sick sentinel]

only done 3 dungeons with it so far, which hasn't helped

[hot locust]

Not difficult just a chore.

[old zephyr]

Either you do them with the pack and focus or you cc a bunch of them and do 2 or 3 at once

[sick sentinel]

well, it's WM 10, and i've ran WM like a brazillion times

[old zephyr]

Just make7sure you6keep shockwave for the6spawns

Manor most of them you just nuke them in the middle of the pack this week

Well see you next year

WM is one of the best for us

[sick sentinel]

timed 11 ur

\o/

Pog

[warm plinth]

Nice

[sick sentinel]

motherlode scares me the most

to be honest

With bolstering yeah

[hot locust]

Nah shrine is worst there

[astral crystal]

ML is easy cruising

[astral crystal]

just take a brez

[sick sentinel]

monkerS

[old zephyr]

Alright Happy New year from France

[sick sentinel]

I only depleted motherlodes this week

i havent timed a single kings rest

ever

[astral crystal]

happy new year europeon

[old zephyr]

Them bolstered mastermind

Amazing

[sick sentinel]

either I'm doing it wrong

or everyone else is doing it wrong

and judging by my 2.3mil dmg taken from spectral bolt

I feel like I'm doing it less wrong

[warm plinth]

It's just a rough dungeon from what I've heard, even after the nerfs it's mechanically challenging.

[sick sentinel]

i could probably do a 14 atal

[astral crystal]

you can probably do an 18 atal

[old zephyr]

Kr is not that hard

[astral crystal]

atal is cakewalk

[sick sentinel]

doubt it

I suck

dunno the skips for an 18

and some1 would have to invite me

[outer dew]

Atal is free

[old zephyr]

You have to Bigpull the room before 2nd boss to6gaib time

[outer dew]

You have a boss that kills itself

Lmai

[old zephyr]

Atal my DDs always fuck the pack befir volkal up

[warm plinth]

Something wrong with your keyboard 4XTCH? You keep putting numbers in the middle of words lol.

[old zephyr]

Yes, Phone keyboard and fat finger

[warm plinth]

Oh gotcha lol

[stone cloud]

Wm boss kills it self against woyer lul

[sick sentinel]

Can't sleep, need to grind .io before going to party

30 more points at least

then i can work to 1.7k tommorow

[stone cloud]

Lord waycrests dot haha! Too bad it doesn’t show in your dmg on the boss

[sick sentinel]

which boss kills itself

vol'kaal?

can you SR that?

Lord waycrest

not talking about wcm

sry

His viruelnt claw is SR

[old zephyr]

Priest

[stone cloud]

And the priestess

[sick sentinel]

infusion sr-able?

[stone cloud]

The blood stoof

[sick sentinel]

No, priestess

priestess is the one that does infusion

When she goes for a sip

what do you mean kage

[stone cloud]

If you all get the rebuff it does dmg to her :/

[sick sentinel]

the blood debuff

o

Sorry chat was not scrolled

i thought you meant like

a warrior specific thing

Nah

like we could spell reflect something

Just gotta make sure she drink the flavor aid

every1 does

[stone cloud]

About 50% of the time lul

[sick sentinel]

Everyone not retarded, whih is usually 3/5 or 4/5 if not with PU

[sick sentinel]

i can only pug

😦

my only friend wont do an 18 atal with me

Shot them in the mouth

im good

[old zephyr]

I can PUG or play with guildies, but usually pugs are the better choice for me

[sick sentinel]

Nah, shot them

im good

yeah, we tested out some guildies the other night, it was a nightmare

druid couldn't heal for crap, and pally was a kid

Like an actual kid, or acting a fool?

like you trialed ppl for ur guild?

kid, young girl

yeah, switched to horde

what rank is ur guild

Ok but were they good(not the druid)

and what realm

no rank, we are trying to get into raiding

ah

yeah

you're gonna get mostly bad ppl then

if you get really good players that are willing to stay

dont let em go

To make sure they dont leave, put a gun to their mouth

you're very violent today

It's in the name

Its also a living

Young girl monkaS

[civic aspen]

Anyone know if a free revenge proc counts as spending 30 rage for anger management?

[sick sentinel]

nope

I'm a young girl 😃

[spice crescent]

dont mess with me man, i love prot to death ❤

hell yeah

[sick sentinel]

kage

[astral crystal]

If you got pooped on that’s player error

Come to eu

Then we can run though as many m+s as you want

fuCK

[hollow thorn]

Just make sure u shroud the bridge

[sick sentinel]

this pack seems oof

but necessary if shrouding

[hollow thorn]

this is a decent route for pugs

Shroud bridge and kill all eel packs and double worms b4 3rd boss

[astral crystal]

you do not need to pull the triple healer before the first boss

[sick sentinel]

forgot there was trash

[hollow thorn]

https://pastebin.com/abaYt6zt

[sick sentinel]

b4 last

[hollow thorn]

heres the export

[sick sentinel]

knowing that

there's tons i can skip

[hollow thorn]

You defo wanna skip G 14

[outer dew]

I dont mind doing the blue or red pulls

Usually isn't too bad if you're attentive 9n waterbolt

[hollow thorn]

We did like 8 of those in my group, but i wouldnt trust a pug with that pull

[sick sentinel]

how do u skip sorn

[silk moat]

Why is that pull tough

I’m new to tanking and affixes in general

[outer dew]

That's also fine

[hollow thorn]

we did that, but it was another week

[sick sentinel]

ok

[hollow thorn]

so different infested

[sick sentinel]

but how do u skip sorn

[outer dew]

What is the sorn again?

On mobile

[hollow thorn]

You dont

[outer dew]

You dont skip

[astral crystal]

ye i dont think you do

[hollow thorn]

The tank taunt Sorn

[sick sentinel]

so

the thing you circles

you pull that all at once?>?

[hollow thorn]

While a tnaky dps tanks the Initiates

[sick sentinel]

?????????

[hollow thorn]

and kill them

away from sorn

to stop bolster

[sick sentinel]

idk if i trust pugs on a 10 with that

[astral crystal]

just tell them youre pulling sorn and have them kill the adds by themselves

by slowing or whatever

[hollow thorn]

Another, but harder option is to position all the initiates in the dmg reduction so they dont die as fast

[sick sentinel]

Get a dudu and mass rutu the initiates

this is freaking me out

i have no idea what any of u are saying

[outer dew]

If you have a druid

Have them mass entangle and have your dps kill adds seperstroy

Separately

[sick sentinel]

Root the non elites and kill the lad first

[outer dew]

If you sont have a druid

Have a dps taunt big fuck off you

And kill the smalls one by yourself

[sick sentinel]

its ok

im just never going into shrine

and also never pushing high key sB)

[sick sentinel]

@sick sentinel just watch a YouTube video of m+ tanking

Not just one

oh

yeah

ur right

You weren't gonna understand any of the strats if you don't have a image in ur mind

[sick sentinel]

Freehold

[hot locust]

no no, what time in vid

[sick sentinel]

Guy throws you

[hot locust]

or yeah the toss

[sick sentinel]

And then he leaped back

o

Enforcer

i thought he was leaping out

No

what will ilvl cap be next tier

425?

Yes

Mythic raid (415) +10

kage

Wouldnt it be 430?

buy me eu wow

so we can play

because its 15 not 10?

or someshit

385 + 10 = 395

Oh yeah, forgot things dont go to 400

loool

did you just think you were really shittily unlucky this whole time

Honestly kinda

i mean

you still might be

I got a 320 to TF to 390

what the fuck

what 320

My pants

from where

WQ

jesus christ

When I was farming gear from WQ for explosim at the time, that TF from 320 to 390

i hate that this is an upgrade for fury

i rly do

More haste/mastery

fuck sockets

Id love sockets if they were common in on gear all the time

like they were before

fffffffuck sockets

https://i.imgur.com/5JhzrCx.png

can the invasions drop DC shoulders

cus I want DC shoulders

I'm wearing 360 rn

The horde/alli invasions?

mhm

Nope, that has Bloodsport on it

[hollow thorn]

I think the Voldun shoulders has DC on them

[sick sentinel]

Voldun shoulders and Zandalar chest

fuck me

tired of wearing 355s

Get used to it

I had to wait 2 weeks before the emissary would A) be a azerite chest and B) be the piece I needed

340 shoulders with 370 gear on every piece

i have 2x385 archive

so im gud there

helm/chest?

just need a better dc

ye

Die

y

Give me chest

i got it on my first kill

[main vault]

I got a WQ cloak to 380 a few weeks back

[hollow thorn]

That neck YIKES

[sick sentinel]

ill be 32 next week

My guild is taking me to their mythic prog(hopefully) this thrusday, they are trying to get 5/8

32 is good enough lul

[hollow thorn]

Capped my druid a week ago and its 33 smh

[sick sentinel]

ye idc

i got my priest to 30 in like 4 days

32 is min for 2 traits so

38 would be dope because defensives are super useful on mythic

but idk

depending on how hard mechs are we might not even get aotc first week

5 more levels away from being 40

[hollow thorn]

You need 38-40 traits to get defensive ring on HC gear

[sick sentinel]

yes

first week AK will be helpful

if ion can get CE without farming

so can I

[tawdry moth]

have u seen his logs lul

[sick sentinel]

full grey

parses are meaningless for prog

hell i have a 10 on ghuun

Wait whos logs?

Ion

https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/malganis/gurgthock

[astral crystal]

I OMEGALUL N

[sick sentinel]

Of course one of the first things I see on the activity list is Mythic Islands

[hollow thorn]

Not even 33 neck

Casual

[sick sentinel]

He stopped grinding because he knew

he stopped grinding because that's the point

to be able to do content without grinding

in terms of quantifiable in-game achievements, cutting edge is pretty much #2 prestige on a raid tier

Nah, he got mad that his guild made him grind so he had to put the AK temp cap

he doesn't control that stuff

Let me imagine

i want to reroll ranged dps

The cap was put there at the start of the expac they said

It just happened to line up with 8.1

I said let me imagine damnit

No 😡

im gonna be a mage

Fire mage, awesome

ya

maybe frost for m+

Yeah

Ok

Frost

Good luck

?

Mages now go fire for m+

If you gonna play mage you are too be expected to play the most popular spec at the current time, people change specs literally based on like a single patch note

[hollow thorn]

No point in frost when u always bring Rogue slow

[sick sentinel]

Frost biggest thing for m+ is slows now, otherwise in most situations people want fire because of more damage

[jade socket]

frost is mostly better now in mplus

regardless of slow

[sick sentinel]

Tell that to the pugs

[supple path]

Saw a Sense video and decided I need to steal his UI. Anyone know if he posted info about it anywhere?

[sick sentinel]

I don't care myself, if u have the gear and the .io whatever

[jade socket]

frost has been buffed 3 different times with the patch and fire got a hefty nerf

[primal crypt]

dylemma says fire is dead now

he only plays frost

[sick sentinel]

fire is dead

pepehands

We are talking about the same community that said "You don't need frost mages anymore for KR, they suck" and also "Prot is bad" because sco said so

[primal crypt]

weep is pepehands

[sick sentinel]

why am i pepehands

i did a 14 !!

and i am ce

[hollow thorn]

Drjay is the mage overlord

His word is truth

[sick sentinel]

there is no pepehands for weep

[primal crypt]

weep is pepe

[sick sentinel]

im already pepe

oh epic

its mage time

i might level fire

[robust bronze]

Lingering sporepods any good for us?

[sick sentinel]

It's like azerite veins

It's good when it procs when u need it but bad otherwise

Azerite veins can be useful occasionally

Sporepods is just bad

ok

it seems leveling fire is the best until at least level 28

48 actually maybe

[vocal nimbus]

@hollow thorn

[hollow thorn]

Nani?

[nocturne sand]

can warriors block necrotic stacks?

[astral crystal]

no

dont think anyone can now that it's physical

[sick sentinel]

Correct, it was made physical so dks/palys couldn't cheese it

[oblique garnet]

Except paladins can now cheese it

[sick sentinel]

Lose all aggro if they try

The talent that made it magic didn't drop aggro like it's base

So you could "cheese" it, at a very high cost of wiping ur group

Which also means ud have to spec into the talent that has the super bubble aoe taunt to not lose aggro

[astral crystal]

just run last stand 4Head

or w/e it's caled

called

wtf is that pally talent called

final stand?

[sick sentinel]

Either way, fuck palys, they can block spells with a talent

I want that

I deserve that

@fierce jackal im sad you dont save vods

[fierce jackal]

lol

[sick sentinel]

https://i.imgur.com/t9ILv0o.png

Where did most of the deaths come from? The start or the mini boss room?

[astral crystal]

lmao

fucking kangz rest

[sick sentinel]

I won't lie even tho it's fort this week, zul hasn't been bad

I did not have to run away the last two runs, but that's also because I let a person take a single sip before aggroing

@sick sentinel i took 2.3mil dmg from spectral bolt btw

3 warriors 1 dh

couldnt even interrupt botls

Lord have fucking mercy

blame @fierce jackal

and @potent zephyr

[potent zephyr]

[sick sentinel]

interrupt bolts you sod

[potent zephyr]

i was

😡

[sick sentinel]

u interrupted 3

[potent zephyr]

yeah cuz i DIED TO AGGRO

[sick sentinel]

maybe if u didnt

CHARGE

AND ROOT THE MOBS

i could have gained aggro when pulling them back :))))

And people wonder why I bitch during skittish weeks

[potent zephyr]

wrong

[sick sentinel]

skittish is the worst affi x

of all time

and you have people saying "it should be like this all the time!"

like jesus

go play a vanilla private server so half of your frost mages can afk while you smack ragnaros and wait 3s for your main melee attack to get off cd

Those people are not only wrong, don't play m+ past 10 once a week for the chest

skittish is the worsT

of all time.

there is no affix worse than skittish

not a single one

Grievous

nope

can reset stacks pretty easily most dungeons

siege u can fence

otherwise pretty much almost always have a slow

Oh u don't understand

It isn't for me that I hate

It's that my healer who can't heal my windowlicker dps because they keep taking damage from eating glue

How the fuck does a BM Hunter require more fucking healing then me in a god damn dungeon

monkaS

Skittish is fuck awful but for me the worst traits aren't the ones that affect me, but the ones that affect my group

skittish affects the group

Nah that's sanguine

dps who refuse to wait 4 seconds

Sang can burn in hell, from BRH to ToS fuck that affix

i hate most affixes

I actually like quaking because it fucks with rogue skips

thats what someone salty about not having a rogue in their group says

Surprisingly, majority of my times runs have a rogue

[sick sentinel]

Happy New Years🎉

[drowsy relic]

Don’t forget to do the weekly warfront****

[daring marlin]

yeah dude

so this can happen

0/2

after 0/3 earlier where I couldn't attack the boss

this is a PSA to anyone that didn't do it but don't try to complete darkshore warfront quest if you have the stormgarde one too

guess that'll bug it out and not give credit like my screenshot right there

[stone imp]

Abandon the other one

and it'll be fine

Unless you really did them back to back without a turnin

[gilded arch]

Yooo update. I love Prot Warrior so far

Being surrounded by enemies makes you faster. That's neat

I'm still just dippin' my toes in though and my level isn't too high; level 30

[zinc mauve]

FINALLY

https://i.imgur.com/mMGshtI.png

TOOK SO LONG TO GET IT

[main vault]

Guys

Just a PSA

Prot War is fucking amazing

K

Happy New Years

Drink more and gl on loot

[silk moat]

Is that trinket good?

[sick sentinel]

very

[silk moat]

I have barnacle, Rezans gleaming eye and xalzaix veiled eye all 370 as well as dark moon fathoms

I’ve been running xalzaix and barnacle ?

[lavish oracle]

Both the eyes are solid

Don't run barnacle

[silk moat]

Ok. Both eyes?

[lavish oracle]

That's what I would go with

[silk moat]

👀 both eyes u say

[lavish oracle]

lol

[silk moat]

👁👁

[lavish oracle]

Fathoms if you just want as much damage as possible

[silk moat]

Sounds like a good combo

[lavish oracle]

Fathoms and eye*

[silk moat]

Gleaming eye for more claps?

[lavish oracle]

Ye

All about them claps

[silk moat]

True that

[sick sentinel]

@lavish oracle do u do FAT keys

or @astral crystal

either one

[lavish oracle]

Nah, not the fattest, I cap out around 14s

[sick sentinel]

well

doing a 12 atal

i wanna death skip this pack

not sure what mobs I can supplement though

[lavish oracle]

Oh, sure, lemme show you my route

[sick sentinel]

these guys will put me at 101%

[analog swift]

Gotta do double pull to the left after T. rex

[sick sentinel]

94.95%

[analog swift]

^^

[lavish oracle]

101 is about as clean as you can get it

[analog swift]

No

The smelliest

Skellies that do fire bullshit

[lavish oracle]

Is my normal route

[sick sentinel]

ok cool

so i literally just made the same route as you

nice

except

minus two mobs

[lavish oracle]

You can also pull the cloaked stalkers on the right if you really want instead of the pack by Priestess

but you need a ranged AoE spell to pull them

Or like a flare or DH, I guess

[sick sentinel]

i hate that when i click the sky screamers

it doesn't pull the saurids with em

[analog swift]

My route is basically T. rex all the birdies. The two down and the group in the middle. Double pull fire groups. Stalker/first pack. Pat. Last totem back. Death run. Stalker/hexers. All the birdies to the third boss. Third boss adds. Third boss. Two guys to the left gg

[sick sentinel]

we have a rogue so

death skip volkaal

shroud out

[lavish oracle]

this is technically doable with a rogue

I've never done it though because the only time I have a rogue available is if it's a PUG

[sick sentinel]

hmm

we do have a rogue

i sent him the mdt

@lavish oracle

https://i.imgur.com/VExHEgD.png

mostly concerned about bridge dino pull orders

[lavish oracle]

Are you planning on lusting on the bottom packs or Rezan?

If you're planning on lusting on the bottom packs then yeah, absolutely pull the bottom packs first

if you're gonna use lust on rezan drop down to rezan first and work your way back up

[sick sentinel]

ah gotcha

hm

why would you lust bottom

I assume you refer to these packs

lusting here

because I would definitely lust there on higher keys

those packs are awful

[lavish oracle]

Yeah, those first 2 packs together are dangerous

[sick sentinel]

i just made two new friends

\o/

both rogues

[lavish oracle]

No fair, share the rogues

[oblique garnet]

Interesting route

[zinc creek]

Ez week this week bois

After this reset

[sick sentinel]

@oblique garnet almost chested it

it benefits very heavily from no mistakes

doing that route and making a mistake at volkaal will 100% wipe the group

and 100% deplete the key

[oblique garnet]

Are you pugging or playing with coordinated team?

@sick sentinel

[sick sentinel]

pug

[oblique garnet]

Dont play left side

If youre pugging

Just dont

Make up the difference with solo honorguard packs

[sick sentinel]

what do u mean

[oblique garnet]

Left side to do efficiently needs coordination

Otherwise youre just wasting time if you are not pulling 2 packs

[sick sentinel]

o

i pulled 1 at a time

my usual route goes

pull first left pack

kill

go to the right

kill infested stalker

then down to rezan

[oblique garnet]

Just go straight to rezan

Kill saurids

[sick sentinel]

i guess my cool route actually just sucks

B)

[oblique garnet]

Its ok for non pugs

But the fact that youre taking it one pack at a time because with pugs if you dont the concessor will dispel the infested cc and the pack is over

[sick sentinel]

will he

he didn't when we did it

[oblique garnet]

I think it only casts dispel if its not on the same pack

[muted thunder]

Happy new year everyone 🎆

[sick sentinel]

@oblique garnet just need me a big dick NA warrior to come with me

[oblique garnet]

Maybe

[valid knot]

How do we rank compared to other tanks atm in m+ and raids now?

[sick sentinel]

good

viable
