So many strange decisions imo
They're talking about making the necklace like Legion artifacts in 8.2
It'll have passive/active ability type traits like the Legion artifacts did.
Removing master looter is still among the biggest memes
They do make some questionable calls, and they've had a big trend of fixing things that aren't broken.
hi
The best meme is the "titanforged is okay, I went without loot during Black Temple for a year!" response
Oh shhh
Oh shit
@junior ivy ^
Ban him quick
๐ @junior ivy
Fastest fingers in the west
@final mist ban him ๐ก
and?
Cosmo, I can't believe you quit before you got an emoji :/
Lol
What the fuck Shark
Wait, they took Thyme's away ๐ข
I have never abused my power in Skyhold
Jk @final mist โค๏ธ
yeah
:Thyme:
I like how you specified "in Skyhold"
+F

Oh well. You playing other games?

Oh shit
The fรผhrer has arrived

overtime police has arrived
The admin popping in to use his global emoji powers
@fierce juniper emotes wen
Make us peons feel inferior
Can we get windmills in chat 
๐ฌ
Can we get some Toucans in the global chat
๐จ


_ _
I actually need to use that one more time before my Nitro decides it's going to expire.
It was supposed to be over yesterday
Someone gave me a month for Christmas; now I'm gonna have to go back to my blob free life.
It looks like him
sure looks like it
If it looks like a Thyme and acts like a Thyme
Thyme
well
๐
I can't think of one; I'm too nervous in his presence.
๐
Omg its everyone together ๐ญ
smh my head
Its been so long
Yes I need krotos here too
The revolution you mean?
I just talked to him in PM
everyone's here again?
That too
Hes on
Thyme for Vallyr
Phone is hard ok
@oblique garnet sorry was in a vermintide map, uhhhhh.... it's pretty bad.
@prisma crane
Strange things happens on phone
@fierce juniper make the dudes yellow to bring back the happy skyhold times
I actually really like the changes
I should go back and play around with different temp health options
@vocal nimbus mango ๐ก
the og one is awful now
lol sup ppl
Thyme is here
@timid jay ๐
ay
โ
And Cosmo
๐ค

@grim prism
The real OG
ppl say so? idk, i havent been on in many wks lol
@kanka
oof
None of the people here play
K A N G A
Close enough
@kanga
I remember him flaming me when I joined the server
i do miss the game, just not enough to play atm >.<
he did that to you too?
This is the prot warriors who don't play anymore reunion, with the exception of like two of us
my first memory of this server is asking something and getting flamed by kanga
Same
kanga for sf
where's that little russian kid?
That and @final mist flaming someone else
๐ฅ
๐ฅ ?
You must be talking about ALAVISTO
abortus
In my defense
He's active in the M+ discord but haven't seen him in here in a while.
Abrodus for the doyn
smh, came up with the abortus nickname and everyone stole it
man, abortus and alavisto
pepehand
Some people genuinely deserve to be flamed
what a time to live in
/hug
I didn't want to flame anyone when I got SF
My first memory in this server was me actually being able to answer a question someone asked and Thyme beating me to it.
that's why you gotta wait til you get Valk like Sal, then you can flame away again
I can flame as much as I want now though : ๐
i once got thyme to answer wrongly
yup
i remember that actually
I mean, you gotta do something while Nelth's Fury channels right
lol
lots of downtime during Argus too
pretty much
that 1 min RP....
And all the intermissions
Thymehands
The golden age of Skyhold ๐ข
Sal you deserve to be flamed regularly for your taste in waifus
Me and Thyme were actually looking over some ABT logs this week
shut up deb
Deb is Savage today
Nah I got cut from that team LUL
Oof
He's just mad I haven't played MH with him in a while
good decision
I'm about to hit 70 :pogey:
I know your waifu sal but I can't remember Deb's
P5
me neither but you gotta recognise the style ๐ค
Yeah
no switch
i wanna play a few single player games but its so weird nowadays
:^(
i got me a switch, it's a blast
You should get the RE2 remake. Just bought it last night; it's amazing.
I haven't been able to enjoy single player games in a while
too many games to play
breath of the wild is fantastic
If I had a switch, I'd probably get my phone shut off because I'd have all the entertainment I needed in mobile Dark Souls
Still into Warframe Cosmo?
smash is fun, and im down for a skyhold mario kart tourney, thoughts?
lol
Yeah
Soon hitting MR24
idk, im not great lmao
yea that's true
@undone sun was catching up so I needed to grind
I wish I had maintained my interest longer. Fortuna looks fun but too much other stuff
๐
It's fun to play for a while imo
I get burnt our quickly on it, lines up nicely with PoE though
i really want to play Cyberpunk whenever the hell that comes out
Play Poe in the new league and then hop back to Warframe
Ye I went hard in PoE for a month. Then MHW released new stuff.
So back at that again.
Maybe I should try mhw again
Picked up Smash and trying to find a main
Played a bit on launch
i didnt wanna meta hop, but the splatoon toon is really fun
and im a big young link fan, but he's got no killing power
Eh, his Nair and Fire arrows offer up kill potential
yea, but im not amazing and you gotta get ppl to like 140% first
then i screw around with the splatoon one and they can kill at like 50
I'd be down
i dont have the new one, was thinking of getting it though lol
What Meta, though?
champion :thynking:
If you say VGC/OU....oof

wtb nintendo channel @fierce juniper
Winner becomes the doyn?
sf only Kappa
I mean its in this meta atm
Brooooo
๐ฎ
@undone sun @rancid pier
it's balsaq
Primal Groudon + Incineroar and other stuff
๐
Why are you @ing me I'm dead
we're all dead inside
Shouldn't have put the fork in the outlet
Preach
SMH my head
yea
Was there a big patch?
Same
same
novemeber they added a lot
it's pretty much always busy now, no down time
and more new players cuz of summit so easy kills lol
next big update will help PvP more
Maybe we should keep derailing #protection
indeed
Make it a weekly thing
FREE TALK FRIDAY REEEEE
see @timid jay
So Sal doesnt ban me for another six months
SAL WHY

It was real ๐
Yikes
already?
lol right
that much?
Did you quit wow before or after me?
before
Can only remember I ran out of game time before you
that ship bait
ooh almost 5 months https://i.imgur.com/hYcRZEs.png
I quit wow before all you fuckers, quit stealing my thunder
lol
its ok, i've spent WAY more in Fortnite lately lmao
ahead of the curve balsaq
im having fun times at r6 siege
AotC quitting in 7.2.5, rekill in 8.1
Big keks
Anyway I'll quit derailing the convo
but that's the fun part
@prisma crane flossing yeet?
I'm sure a ton of fun and interesting changes have happened to prot war and I'm distracting from the topic
๐ฌ
Fortnite is like GoT now
I know they worked really hard on class fixes for the patch
I tried fortnite
those changes came yeah but the channel is still a barren place compared to legion
^
im just not a big fan of BRs to begin with
yea bloom is rough, but tbh people are jsut super good now too
Fortnite just never held my interest
most guns have first shot accuracy so if you semi auto they're strong
i love me some pubg
SoT is where the RP is at lol
ERP? ๐ฏ
i've tried blackout but its too fast for me i guess
lmao
tbf i've played playerunknown's br since the arma mod
Yeah is definitely faster
and it stick to me with pubg
Took some getting used to
fortnite is making me better with binds since you need so damn many
there are some genres that gotta have more a more realist than arcadish feeling to them
(for me)
yea fair enough
I couldn't stand the building aspect of the bloom in fortnite
bloom you can def get used to, but building is a STEEP curve
and it's rough
but you come from CS and thats where most ppl who hate it come from lol
Emblem of Zandalar or Prism of Dark Intensity? Doing M+, in terms of dps and survival - what are your thoughts?
True
then again a lot of CS players are great at FN too
cs was, is and will be king ๐
Mechanical aim definitely translates over
@hot locust i think you can help Gotowned, we dont know shit lol
and yea, Kovaaks is something i need to DL
Dafuq is kovaaks
The goal of KovaaK's FPS Aim Trainer is to enable players to create their own training with realistic dodging targets. Every mechanic within the game is driven by user-defined profiles - Weapons, characters, abilities, bots, how bots dodge, how bots aim, challenges, and more ...
$9.99
239
Oh
Don't do that
Download csgo and maps for that
It's free now
And there are some really good maps to train aim
na just in general, also, FN has kill maps now similar to the CS GO ones ppl make
like jumping and surfing or w/e
Cool
death runs* yea
ppl make some stupid difficult ones
and the ppl who do the best at those are old CS players too lol
i enjoyed bhop the most
they removed it ๐ฆ
Im so bad at surf
my worst was always kz and longjumps
hey all...I have seen a bunch of logs with devastator talented from warriors...is it worth?
they have these impulse nades in FN that launch you further so ppl have stuff where you have to use those to launch to floating platforms, it dumb lol
@graceful sundial devastator may provide a marginal ST dps increase
You still play shenko?
ye
jesus shrine is horrible
@primal crypt Did you witness the most scuffed key ever XD
Damn I missed your 15 shrine; do you have it on vod?
wtf everyone is here
โ
๐
night man
๐
@oblique garnet it was glorious
@warm plinth it will probably be on vod soon
what traits are good to stack now with the extra rings? for M+
@warm plinth yeah its up now
^
but prot traits>general traits
yer right cheers so bastion is good to stack now
@warm plinth starts at 1:40
i keep getting pieces with DC on them thats no good to stack hey
its good for dps for m+ but ads nothing defensively
yer fair enough got a new piced but im gonna lose a brace for impact
just in terms of purely dps standpoint
make that third DC
fuck
are they all second rings?
is there a way you can cook and meddle and reforge so you end up with less DCs?
do not sleep on callous reprisal
its not bad for m+
the % stacks
honestly
and the damage is good
its pretty good actually
i think i still need +10 kr and i will be higher than lala pogU
I have been spamming freeholds lol
we were getting freeholds and tol dagors only
now we have 3 shrines, so basically 3 dead keys
honestly tho
like we fucked up alot of things on shrine
only missed the timer by 11 minutes
on 15
yeah but
it is not fun
btw you all should check #fury right now, there is some Treacherous covenant memery going on
I'm seeing Bonded souls doing anywhere from 11-16% of my healing w/ ~40%uptime during a mix of different content. Would you guys say doubling up on the trait would be worth losing Brace for Impact?
the last knowledge I had about that trait was that it might be good, but we don't have any hard numbers on it yet
I would ping sense
tbh
I guess I'll do it and consider it testing, lol.
Thanks Late
can u stack victory rush azerite trait for 2x absorb
Anyone know why Krag'wa's Wrath happens and we have hunters WAY out, but it still comes onto the group?
Am i missing something?
is that the frog?
yea
it says furthest target
we have tanks and hunters furthest
but it still jumps on the group
well
he checks for his target
every time he lands
so if the hunter is like 40 yards away from the group
and the other hunter is like 30 yards away from the other hunter
then he will jump in the group
whats the best trait for M+ DPS wise? Thunderrous blast 3x?
Shouldnt it go from hunter to tank back and forth
it should
Anybody streaming that you can recommend? Feel like Iโm an underwhelming tank for the gear I have
@nocturne lantern you are completely off
you want 3 BoM, 1 DC
and 2 others like CR or IF or BFI
@dim blaze Lala strams, Late streams and Marok streams
in fact, Marok is streaming right now
also Sense streams
oh okay... but DPS wise y?
@sick sentinel would be nice
did 20k overall there
@dim blaze Sense is also streaming Right now, doing a +15 SoB
what is Bfl? im new to prot warry dont know what Bfl is
oke
thank u m8
@sick sentinel what stats should i focus for more aoe dps? Haste?
ilvl over everything
more stats>better stats
that being said
haste>crit is what I go for, personally
but mastery also provides attack power
stats don't really change from aoe to st dps
kk so just stack ilvl and get haste/krit rings y?
crit gets better in AoE scenarios defence wise though
you still got for ilvl for rings most of the time]
but it's a little bit different yeah
technically sure, but you don't really want to rely on parry rng defensively
allright
on big mplus pulls it evens out but yeah
also very good in reaping since you parry the dot
that the melee mobs apply on hit
Next week
Ima break that 30k barrier on overall in 10+ non teeming
calling it now
Highest ive gotten this week was 23k
Rip
since I raid as fury
omg, walking in boda normal for fun with pugs, getting 2\2 azerite pieces with bom from 2 first bosses =_=
oh shit it's thyme
it's also cat
๐
wait
I saw something in sense's chat
can you get 3xBoM, 1DC and 2 incite the pack?
are you playing WoW again, thyme?
no
rip
ooooh
so you are only losing str instead of losing str AND stamina
didnt notice that
also OP>AV
ok that works for me
they have ~20% more stamina to make more people use s2 gear
I like how people actually complained in comments about prot warriors not getting buffed in the recent class tuning pass.
im mazeballs tank lol
Gotta keep blizzard thinking were not op
prot is the only proactive tank and they are just too bad
or that
mindgames
Sense just spell reflected Carve Flesh in shrine
did like 20% of his HP lol
hey guys, does Bastion of Might stacks?
the mastery does
all traits stack
and you do stack it for mplus
okay cool, thanks.
double DC or 1 DC + 1 BFI?
is it good to have vers on your gear? or do u sort of wanna all in haste?
all stats are good
https://gyazo.com/e24dd13460769d76c3b6915ef99693f2 these are my secondaries now im not sure if its problematic or not
more stats>better stats
not like it's bad to have verse, IP scales off it, but it's not the top most secondary stat
my vers is very low though
haste is just a better secondary per point
I tanked 13 atal this week and i had some real issues staying alive in the run
check #268491842637660160
that's not something more verse will fix
self reliance ๐คข
its just my alt i dont play my warrior so much
but i find warrior tanking fun as im beating my guildies on overall dps
in duengons
well your whole azerite power line up has problems
what do you suggest?
it is a lot case by case basis
like item per item
but yeah doing what is effectively a +16 on an alt without checking resources is a bit ballsy
whats the max uptime u can have on shieldblock without using heravy repercussions
?
some 1 keeps telling me weakauras is useless for a warrior and i tend to disagree
I feel like it helps tremendously
@sand relic I will answer you in a sec
Deafening crash is worth like 30 ilvls if its your only one correct?
15 and yes only the first one @vocal elm
i dont have the last traits since my neck is only 34
IDK dude i just respecced prot and went in to do https://gyazo.com/56c6a2afaf1fdb6d74945886192cf345 +18
when patch came out
obviously my party members are ok
@last loom first of all, doing m0s for a 370 azerite piece is a good idea
other than that
@sick sentinel ya let mekno
on helmet you should swap globules for OP
Is Overwhelming better than Veins?
Guides ive read says its not, but thought I read a comment earlier in here telling someone to swap it
and on chest use IF over DC ( you only want one DC on your gear) and take off globules for either STR in numbers if you need surv or Earthlink if you need damage
OP can lose only 1 stack per sec from getting hit
so even if you are getting hit all the time, you will still lose 2 stacks per sec
Veins is good on paper but in practice it is very, very unreliable and it procs the worst times
shield ilvl is important?
shield is the most important piece of gear
yes
along with azerite gear
ah yeah i was tanking with a 340 shield in my 16-17s
that was problematic
good thing my healer was good
hello
can someone give me a good reason so i can explain to my friend why weakauras will make him a better player. lol im trying to explain to him but he dont understand
I got the shield from hc now on first boss 400 ilvl socket so im happy with that
tell him that he is the big dumb @sand relic
im serious tho is it good for a prot wariror
you will feel like twice as tanky now aljan
Specifically for prot or for any class, @sand relic ?
is it even possible to play prot without weakauras?
I used to play in legion without weakauras for a long time i was still a very good player but i swapped to it later and became even better
but like whats the most needed weakaura for prot tanking would u say ?
weak auras are essential for BfA prot
tell me why
all classes benefit for them
like what weakaura is most needed for prot
I used to raid in a cutting edge guild i had no addons except for a damage meter lol
block and IP tracker
not even and bossmods
Centralized information means you can focus more on the center of the screen instead of scattering your attention, plus there's no other way to keep track of IP, which means you potentially waste a ton of rage overcasting IP
can some 1 help me with the weakaura for boss mods im using 2 different ones and both arent working for soem reason
if you are checking your buffs in the top right for your block and duration of CDs, you are basically gimping yourself
@last loom atal is absolutely aids with the bursting buffs even i was having some issues mostly with the saurid packs and 13+ is basically 18
ye
we missed timer by a minute or so
but i was essentially dyingf the whole time
healer was struggling so hard
Our healer was doing 80k hps on the saurids and it barely cut it
Yeah, seems like you need to really tightly coordinate personals and healer CDs for Atal this week
Yeah definitely
its funny since im tossed into those "big" keys on my babywarrior
Also with the normal route the 2nd reaping comes in absolute aids spot
i have maybe 24hour experience on prot warrior
https://gyazo.com/6567ef85f4da8c5e95e594366dc25e27 overall dps in +6 motherlode
does this look normal for prot
yes'
Yup
Yep
you can do 20k+ with 3xBoM
if u remove the bosses i beat the rogue on trash
Did your ret pally DC?
Ah
LOL
^ whar onion said
nice'
You will see more next week
DH tank is also just kinda bad
wait, DH has a tank spec?
i main havoc but i OS tank
and its weak
i have to kite all the timer
im just face tanking all with warrior
actually
And with reaping
hmm
Probably need to kite on raging too
i struggled with third boss in Motherlode 18 tyrannical
especially raging fort
Well the 3rd boss only does magical damage
well that boss
So
does PURE magic damage
Youre kinda fucked there
Yeah, every warrior I've seen in high tyrannical Motherlode just runs 3x Bloodsport
shit I should have thought of that
I think I saw someone talent swap to Never Surrender for the last 2 bosses to ๐
mighta been Darkee
tbh I would go 3BoM, 1DC and 2 BS for the leech memes
Don't need a warlock if you're horde, should be able to make it back in like 20 seconds
Well yeah but warlock does it faster
wait how
set hearth to port
do you zone in to the second boss area?
Yeah
oh ok
yeah I get it
I also use ring
the 395 one
so I have a tp to there ๐
I'm too lazy to farm up the currency for that
@last loom get right boat so you don't have to do mechanics
Cant use it if you dont wear it tho?
and when you have tank stacks on the big boss go to the add and get dispelled
do i tank the adds? that spawn?
No you just go and get dispelled and move back to spot
Yeah i mean i dont want to log in either xD
fuck it I did
๐
I have so many good rings
I am gonna make a collage and post it here to choose lol
well that went south pretty damn fast
people died on the fiorst lightning even though i moved the boss accordingly
Ooh
It might have more haste then my current rings pogchamp
Next week tho
Gonna be swimming in new gear
Not even worried about getting gear out of heroic this week, gonna be running M+ til I drop next week
Im living in luxury with my current azerite traits
If i get lucky on mythics first boss and get the chest then i only have to replace my helm and shoulders
And i can afford one random 415 next week
O.o
I am at like 760
Ah yes the meme build
WHAT IS THIS
+10 gives 670ish
not meme enough, still using AM
^
where is the HR
True memes would be ravager
Assuming we go with the same dr values as last season
To get around 1k
Youd need a +16
definitely doable
Tol dagor is a joke
I have a raid on sunday as well
Cannon can kill reaping adds
tol dagor is fun yeah
we got memed in TD today
we skipped so we could pull stuff on the cannon and kill it and then do 2 reapings with the cannon
and then skip the last one
and what ended up happening
is that we killed everything up to the last boss
and have 99% count
so we had to tp out and kill a crab
Lul
lowkey thinking of instead of shrouding the 3 casters
skystepping them
and yeah, if I scrap some normal azerite or get a drop tomorrow
I should have enough for a 415
also eng helm
that makes 2 415s
depends how far we clear though
Oh yeah i can make 400ilvl engi helm soon
I made it already, it's pretty pog
You already have 220 breaths?
400 ilvl is 20 breaths
415 is 200
thing is, it does not have BoM so I use it for fury
Yeah but apparently scrapping it doesnt reward breaths back
I made alchemy trinket to get recipe and got the tidalcores back
Yeah
did he do it before the hotfix?
Tidalcores you do get back
there was a hotfix I believe
Oh
btw, listening to the salt of marok's stream it's amazing
Would you prefer 123 haste and 72 crit or 118 mastery and 76 haste?
pretty common to hear tbh
same ilvl and everything else
ty
2nd BoM vs Brace for Impact for M+? Icy says BoM, but I won't get 2x IP
ok
transforms you into a dps for 20 secs and makes Avatar a defencive CD as well
If you lust in p3 doesnt jaina just iceblock?๐ค
they lust so that they can clear the ice
Yeah i mean thats where we used it too
I have only raided 1 day
with a guild I am trialing in
next raid is sunday
and I trial for a different guild on monday lol
both get 4/9 first day
Nice
idk what to expect
we have discussed tactics up to blockade I think
oh shit they have talked about jaina as well
like, I think we can get there in 4 hours
the day we went to 4/9
we did normal blockade and normal jaina first
and then went to hc
Normal blockade...I have like 25+ tries already on it...
Left boat on nm is ezpz
2 hours?lmao
with the guild we did it in 3 attempts
puglife is ez untiil mechatorque
Oh boy got it on my 3rd tbh
Blockade tho...no idea
Gotta mobilise a social raid in my guild to do it
Mekkatorque is kinda simple
Yap
I think the do not fucking move rule is harder on pugs
And also on guildies
Actually had to start yelling stop moving so they did
lol
Looking forward to hc clear later today
Same actually xD
I have been hanging out on skyhold and watching marok->watching sense->watching marok the whole night
Might just pull another all nighter tbh
Boys, would you pick Engineering helm for Synaptic relapse or Alchemy trinket if you can only pick one?
raiding or mplus?
both
Alchemy trinket
trinket then
Where all my damage boys? How scuffed is bloodmallet for us now that it's actually got content
thanks
helm does not have BoM so it's not as good for mplus
@solid owl there are no working sims/apl for prot
would synaptic more than make up for it though
you just listen to us
you do not understand the seer amount of power BoM brings in mplus Val
@sick sentinel the sims are there, they're just scuffed
Did a duneon slice sim
they are there, but they are not working properly
dungeon slice is scuffed for all specs lol
I used to love simming
but then I started having too much gear
that I am running out of variations immidiatelly
If i want actual data id just compare logs
Like do 2x 10s with same pulls same people
I like it because it is like "wear this, kthanksbye"
like, the difference between having a rezan's proc during an avatar
or between avatars
is massive
I have 385
and I am sticking with it for now
But i dont want to lose my 4th BoM๐ช
oh you have that ridiculously high feather
Yup
fair enough
I am gonna farm AD after my exams are done
like hard farm
( I have exams at like the 4rth, the 5th and the 7nth)
I had one on wednesday as well
whole guild was running 5s and I was not able to log in lol
My entire guild was sleeping on the m0s until they heard that world first raiders were also doing them zzz
lol
I think ive only done like 4-5 6s and rest just 10s because they got boring so fast
we are doing high keys to get familiar with reaping etc
yeah
and we are trying to push our keys to get a good weekly
well, we were
now 3 of us have shrines
Anyone know why a scrapped azerite piece wouldn't give residuum?
Just got the piece today
Had it happen with multiple others before this too, all obtained after 8.1 (I scrap all my shit before I log each day, so I know it came from after the patch)
open a ticket
Good idea
yo guys, do we need to do +10 for weekly? or are we getting same cache loot from lower keys (7-9)?
max loot is from +10
over 10 you get more azerite titan juice
residuum or how it is called
you can spam 5-6 this week for 385, but do a 10 if you want the 410 for weekly
wtf
Bloodsport or Callous Reprisal?
mplus or raid?
Raid
Tbh, i feel like bloodsport needs a buff. The 5k boost to IP seems a little bit lacking, but i havent seen it in practice
any little bit can help
bloodsport doesnt need a buff
its practically a 20% increase per trait.
overshoot, more like 15%.
Ahhh, that would make sense. Thanks.
Did you watch the most scuffed shrine ever? XD
I did. It was pretty rough lol
Yeah
