protection

[old night]

its a lot like the balmer effect

[oblique garnet]

My keys go alot better after few beers

[frosty wedge]

so I haven't played since before christmas - can I switch back to prot from my DK yet? :p

[sand egret]

LOL

[old night]

nope

once you leave

[sand egret]

bruh

[old night]

you're gone forever

[oblique garnet]

Dk is garbage just switch to prot

[old night]

banned

[daring patrol]

You could have before Christmas forehead

[lusty grotto]

yeah mike

[sand egret]

silly DKs

[lusty grotto]

you can have your badge back

[sand egret]

we just out here mitigating shit

[lusty grotto]

📛

[old night]

ok last thing on beer. You all are allowed to drink whatever right. we're all shield boys

[sand egret]

like "naw fam what damage"

[old night]

but if yall ever come at me with mikes hard or smirnoff ice

[lusty grotto]

except stella filmstrips, be honest

[old night]

you're dead to me

[oblique garnet]

FeelsBadMan we got a new dk tank in our guild and nobody wants to do keys with him and they all just want me

[frosty wedge]

lol, nice

[cursive yacht]

@oblique garnet same things on my guild

[lusty grotto]

what if im cosplaying F&F, and just Corona all day

[old night]

my old roommate who never drank (his guild was also stuck on normal taloc for 3+ months) came home once and pounded down a sixer of vanilla smirnoff ice

[frosty wedge]

I just got sick of not getting groups, which is why i switched out to my DK - all my friends have quit this game

[oblique garnet]

Corona is pretty good tho

[lusty grotto]

i wouldn't say its good

but its cheap

[signal plover]

DK is actually trash but grip makes em meta invincible

[old night]

after a few margaritas and a wedge of lime its solid

[steady fiber]

Guys what's better Bigwigs or dbm ? 🤔

[lusty grotto]

hey man i got drunk on quite a few smirnoff's when i was younger

[sand egret]

corona is literally a beer marketed around the concept that it's gone bad.

like that's why they have a lime

[frosty wedge]

meh, they're pretty fun, self heal's fun - just a different way of tanking

[cursive yacht]

Actually running m+ with (Prot war, dh, dh, demo-lock, r-druid) We melt

[frosty wedge]

Monks are dogshit boring though

[sand egret]

cuz they dont wanna shell for opaque bottles

[signal plover]

Ppls opinions on alcohol in here are like a college freshman debate

[cursive yacht]

@steady fiber i prefer bigwig

[oblique garnet]

Double dh + fire mage and rdruid is so good group

[lusty grotto]

im just fucking with you paw

[oblique garnet]

Fire mage is actually blasting since you dont have to kite as prot

[lusty grotto]

honestly, if it has alcohol

that's good enough

[sand egret]

ya know what's not boring tho?

[lusty grotto]

for me at least

[sand egret]

watching DPS cry

[cursive yacht]

when they're getting out dpsed by a tank? xD

[lusty grotto]

wait wait wait

[oblique garnet]

I cant beat our dpses anymore feelsbadman

[sand egret]

nothing like hopping into a premade group and the DH goes "Finally a challenge"

[lusty grotto]

@oblique garnet are mages good now?

[oblique garnet]

Idk our firemage is blasting

[sand egret]

fire can pump

esp if you get a nice stack

[oblique garnet]

Did 380k on a reaping pack leaving both dhs in distance

[lusty grotto]

ok looks like Magechip will return to the fray

[sand egret]

that ignite spread cales real well with targets

and reaping is ALL the targets

[modern brook]

Fire got a nerf to their good trait

but they still pump

[lusty grotto]

like a few weeks ago

[modern brook]

I think it was the 23?

IDK

they still pump

🤷

[sand egret]

ya know who was wrecking in my run last night, this Ret

man this dude brought the heat

[lusty grotto]

hold up, a few weeks ago you guys were saying how fire traits just got nerfed

and now they got buffed?

[modern brook]

REt are like supreme DHs

[lusty grotto]

🤔

[modern brook]

they're really good at AoE

and are exceptionally retarded

[lusty grotto]

on tuesday we had a WW monk

that was absolutely destroying everyone

[sand egret]

ngl it's the first time in a long time i've actually almost had a dps grab aggro on pull

[lusty grotto]

even my DH friend who is always #1

[sand egret]

when lust dropped this Ret went through the roof

[oblique garnet]

Yeah they have massive burst

[sand egret]

i have 0 idea how Ret works

[oblique garnet]

And then they just be mediocre at best

[lusty grotto]

3 button class

[sand egret]

but jesus it was like 60K or some shit

[oblique garnet]

Yup

[frosty wedge]

curious - what ilvl are most people sitting at now? also, what's the new affix like?

[lusty grotto]

fun

[oblique garnet]

402 atm

[lusty grotto]

new affix is fun

i really REALLY like it

[sand egret]

388

new affix is fun as fuck

[frosty wedge]

my warr, DK, and Monk were all sitting at 383 when I stopped playing

[sand egret]

like total opposite of Infested

[frosty wedge]

oh nice - infested was pointless

[sand egret]

this is just where everyone needs to flex their big boy pants

healers need to be on top of dispels, everyone needs to watch the chaos, and deeps needs to pump

[lusty grotto]

ye

[sand egret]

it's just a huge fuckfest and i love every second of it

[lusty grotto]

especially that purple shit on the ground that almost killed me like 20 times

fucking f.lux

[sand egret]

yeah, Lost Souls

[oblique garnet]

Thw trick is just to keep moving while clapping

[lusty grotto]

yeah

its no big deal, i just didnt notice it on the first few times

last week for example

[oblique garnet]

Also

Avoid stairs

And any uneven ground

[lusty grotto]

Eh I did reaps at UR Bridge just fine

[oblique garnet]

It turns into literally invisible if its on stairs

[lusty grotto]

Hmm

[supple path]

It feels like island expedition AEing honestly.

[lusty grotto]

Which stairs specifically

[frosty wedge]

ah ok, sounds easy enough

[lusty grotto]

Like WM stairs?

I'm doing a few runs tonight

Yesterday was kh3 and bfv day

[oblique garnet]

Temple stairs

For example

[lusty grotto]

Oh

[oblique garnet]

Atal etc

Waycrest isnt hard

[lusty grotto]

I haven't ran temple with the new affix

Yeah it's ez

[honest canopy]

Friends

You are totally The best class discord

[lusty grotto]

50%party

[frosty wedge]

❤

[mystic fog]

Hey guys! is there any guide for m+ warrior tank? i'm looking for best stats, traits, trinkets etc.

[lusty grotto]

[clear quarry]

Wowhead is a great place to look for information in everything WoW.

[lusty grotto]

wowhead guide isn't good

its not written by marok anymore

[clear quarry]

What's wrong with it?

Sincerely asking where the inaccuracies are. I'm not trying to be an ignorant prick. I promise.

[lusty grotto]

i just saw it wasn't written by marok anymore and that's it

[clear quarry]

Ah.

[lusty grotto]

the other specs are fine

no idea who the new guy is

[stark sage]

just have to trust the author

and we know marok writes for IV

so thats the general go to for prot

[clear quarry]

Right on. I have always used WH and it's seemed accurate with my personal findings. Thanks, I'll look into IV myself.

[lusty grotto]

the biggest thing i think

is that marok is here and you can directly ask him for math behind his claims

how do you get that feedback from some random dude that they listed

same with Archim

for dps specs

and at least Achi is still in WH

so those are good

[daring patrol]

That feel when your co-tank lets you take a full grong combo and you still kill the boss

[hot locust]

full Grong combo has the potential to not be very lethal so it isnt that crazy. If he does smash>bite>smash it's not even CD necessary other than the throw.

[sand egret]

🌧

[daring patrol]

was a bite bite smash throw into tantrum

puckered up at least for sure

[hot locust]

double bleed definitely hurts, but isn't suicidal at least. Good stuff 😄

[cinder pasture]

Quick question, how good/bad is this one ? :p

[daring patrol]

got a 420 one out of my chest

i dont plan on replacing it

[inner trail]

good for dps bad defensively

[cinder pasture]

Well I don't care about defensively, thats what my healer is for 😂

So I guess I'll keep it

[sick sentinel]

what trinkets should i be lookin for M+ wise

are any of the raid ones good or keep using higher ilvl of the shit i rocked last season

[mellow bridge]

Is this trinket anz good as a defensive choice_

*?

Opulence trinket 400ilvl

[hot locust]

I'd say its decent. Depends on where fights are risky though, doesnt really help much against burst but over the course of a fight it definitely does a decent bit of coverage.

[vocal nimbus]

its decent

[mellow bridge]

Should I replace jes or Rezans for it?

Jes is 5 ilvl higher

Especially thinking about high lvl m+

[tired cove]

whats better to dbl up on brace for impact or fortress

for m+

[mellow bridge]

IF I'd say

[modern brook]

IF better whenever u get punched alot

BFI better on bosses

[weary nacelle]

guys, a question.. Callous Reprisal trait, if u stack it, does it only increase revenge dmg, or does it also multiple the dmg reduction?

[modern brook]

I remember people discussing it as if 3 CR gave 1.5-3-4.5 DR but Ive never seen any proof one way or another

this was also way back at the start of 8.0 so grain of salt

[weary nacelle]

interesting

i wonder if this is still the case, or not.

cause 3 or 4.5 dmg reduction wouldnt be that badf

[mellow bridge]

CR doesnt stack pretty sure

[weary nacelle]

so it just icnreases revenge dmg, but thats it?

[mellow bridge]

Yeah

[shut summit]

the damage reduc stacks

[warm plinth]

The damage reduction does stack

[mellow bridge]

Huh, my bad then

sorry

[warm plinth]

Eh, most traits you'd be right. It's an exception to the rule is all.

[modern brook]

Sense did you see my previous pings at you?

re: spell reflect on grong

[shut summit]

yea havent seen anything / didn't try myself, if you have logs can PM to me

[modern brook]

Sure

[weary nacelle]

i really do wonder if i want to go with 2x CR, or bloodsport instead of the second CR

this is why i also was asking if it stacks or not.

[warm plinth]

Assuming you're talking about M+, CR is pretty good, since it's both an offensive and defensive gain (and pretty respectable gains at that)

[lusty grotto]

i'd be inclined to say CR is slightly better

but bloodsport is solid for defensiveness

depends on what you need in your runs

[weary nacelle]

understood. This is helpful, thank you gentlemen

[lusty grotto]

if you're doing alright defensive-wise go for CR, otherwise Bloodsport - in summary

[modern brook]

I think bloodsports worth it if you have BoM

[lusty grotto]

sure

[modern brook]

specifically over a 2nd CR

[lusty grotto]

dunno, more dps is more dps

[modern brook]

yeh, but big IP w/ leech during monky mode is a big deal imo

[sick sentinel]

second cr imo

[lusty grotto]

hes talking about m+ though

[modern brook]

IDT CR matters that much in M+ TBH

[sick sentinel]

during bom i go tc revenge, tc, revenge etc

[lusty grotto]

its more damage than bloodsport

[modern brook]

Sorry

I'm looking at stuff defensively while yall keep saying damage

[sick sentinel]

and revenge does big damage during bom

[modern brook]

lol

CR for damage obvs

[lusty grotto]

during bom?

you mean avatar

[sick sentinel]

same thing

[lusty grotto]

i mean...

tc revenge without demo shout in

yikes

[modern brook]

Bom = big ookin Monkey

[lusty grotto]

that sweet damage buff from BV

yikes

no IP up, yikes on those triple pulls

[modern brook]

BOM->STOMP->BOOM->STOMP->SWORD->STOMP

[lusty grotto]

JK BROS I KNOW IP IS OFF GCD NOW

[modern brook]

💣 👢 🎆 👢 ⚔ 👢

[lusty grotto]

but burning all your rage on a triple revenge cast without demo shout cast, or SS

YIKES

[modern brook]

Why dont you just get procs like a good prot warrior?

[lusty grotto]

i dont know about that man

i dont know

[warm plinth]

I don't know if there's anything more heartbreaking as a warrior than to jump off a cliff intending to heroic leap to safety and then you get "No path available" and die.

[lusty grotto]

welcome to how many expansions ago?

[modern brook]

The most heartbreak i had in Wow (not tied to wawrrior) is getting turtles to water

and while i was doing that

Anchor weed was spawned

[stoic summit]

@warm plinth be engineering, then u can glider 😄

[warm plinth]

lolol.

[lusty grotto]

not as heartbreaking as coming down from skyhold to africa

[modern brook]

ONLY in the shard i am in when getting turtles to water

so when i leave the wq it despawns:

[warm plinth]

"Oh great, let me just jump down to Broken Shore" Blizzard: "lulnope, you're going to a hillside in Azsuna bitch"

[lusty grotto]

yeah i had that happen bull

[modern brook]

its def the worst feeling

[lusty grotto]

remember when skyhold meteor crash would kill you

cause that was def the best

[warm plinth]

Honestly that's just class fantasy

[sand egret]

shoulda killed all around you

[lusty grotto]

HNNNNGGGGGGGGG splat

[sand egret]

missed opportunity

[lusty grotto]

yes i agree

[warm plinth]

I guess I don't get quite as excited about herbs as you guys do

[modern brook]

I have a grand total of 300 gold on my main

so any time things that will increase my gold income by whole number multiples come around im on that

[lusty grotto]

JESUS CHRIST bull

[modern brook]

I've sold grays for more gold than i currently own

[lusty grotto]

you're suspended from teamchip

[warm plinth]

How do you have 300 gold

[modern brook]

I didnt even know i was o team chip

[warm plinth]

Like, I don't understand.

[oblique garnet]

suspended from teamchip?

yikES

[warm plinth]

Do you spend your time on WoW just running around Dazar'alor/Boralus?

[modern brook]

Me oonga boonga man

actually just the opposite

[lusty grotto]

turn in your badge, if you want it back you will need to pay a fee of 300 gold

[modern brook]

I like

[oblique garnet]

Why am i dps for teamchip anyways

[modern brook]

only do stuff that consumes consumables

ie: m+

no farming for anything

so im only spending

never gaining

i alsod ont vendor gear

[lusty grotto]

cause teamchip is all prot, and you are dps

[warm plinth]

I thought prot was DPS

[lusty grotto]

yes but late is dps of dps

[modern brook]

late = f'(dps)

[warm plinth]

Teamchip needs to recreate the 5 warrior CoS that Levko and company did at the end of Legion

[lusty grotto]

yeah

one day

except late is euro

[warm plinth]

RIP

[modern brook]

teamchip is an international enterprise

[lusty grotto]

indeed

[warm plinth]

Is his deeps good enough to transcend region?

[lusty grotto]

it depends if he takes #1

😁

[modern brook]

hes 50 off sense according to this morning

[lusty grotto]

hmmmmmmm

[oblique garnet]

sense isnt rank 1

not even close tho

[lusty grotto]

he is in our hearts

[oblique garnet]

This is the season i will beat sense

[lusty grotto]

😮

[oblique garnet]

i will take what is rightfully mine

[modern brook]

😮

a sense of pride?

[lusty grotto]

👉 🚪

[modern brook]

[oblique garnet]

Gotta show that EU>Na

since method seems incapable of doing that

[lusty grotto]

oof

[warm plinth]

Shots fired

[modern brook]

EU more like ew

[astral crystal]

Gottem

NA more like nah

[lusty grotto]

officer, id like to report 3 crimes

[modern brook]

😦

nimchimp more like narc-chip

[lusty grotto]

911? im dead

send medic

wait a minute

[frosty wedge]

😂

[lusty grotto]

only guilfart calls me nimchimp

and also drunk chicks on discord

[oblique garnet]

nimpachimp

[signal plover]

Bootsoupclapchip

[oblique garnet]

feelsbadman actually wiping on hc

[lusty grotto]

🚪 🏃

should i try to pug it yet

[oblique garnet]

yes

[modern brook]

we pulled monkey 30 times last night :^(

[oblique garnet]

my guild group cant clear hc but i did it on pug

[lusty grotto]

whoa

[sand egret]

hmm

sounds like a no for me dawg

[modern brook]

I dont think the raids that bad

Up to oppulence doesnt require a lot of team effort

[sand egret]

raids arent bad

it's the people in the raid with you

[frosty wedge]

see, this is why I'm so hesitant to play again

[sand egret]

or just generally "People"

[lusty grotto]

hey im just happy if im #1 on meters

[sand egret]

just more of em in raids

[frosty wedge]

schedule is weird so I can't commmit to raid nights

but pugging kills my soul

[lusty grotto]

do what i did

[sand egret]

just be an M+ boi

[modern brook]

yyeah I unsubbed during ToS becauese of that

[lusty grotto]

just search for guild groups

[frosty wedge]

yeah, honestly I love m+ too

[modern brook]

I think its especially bad for Tanking pugs

[chilly brook]

Dude my hands

So cold

[modern brook]

Cause if a guild doesnt have a tank core

Theres a reason

[lusty grotto]

usually if you do well, you get to add them on bnet

[frosty wedge]

and would m+ constantly, if they fixed azerite rewards for m+

[modern brook]

and its very rarely "the tanks are sick"

[sand egret]

what do you mean fixed?

[lusty grotto]

fart on them griff

instant heat

[sand egret]

the reward structure isn't bad now

[chilly brook]

You right

[frosty wedge]

I mean, making it so it's not like 10 weeks of chests for a mythic level azerite piece

[daring marlin]

yo

[sand egret]

it's like 3 tbh

[chilly brook]

The weather says 33

[modern brook]

^

[daring marlin]

WoW is trolling the fuck out of me hardcore

[chilly brook]

There’s no way it’s 33

[modern brook]

its a little over 3 if you only do a 10

buying a specific 415 is a waste

[lusty grotto]

yeah its not bad to get azerite now

[daring marlin]

^this

[lusty grotto]

just yolo random lottery

[chilly brook]

Ah there we go

[sand egret]

yeah i mean i'm going for the random 415s first, THEN i'm going to save for my specific pieces

[oblique garnet]

you do 15s you get piece in 2 weeks ish

[chilly brook]

With windchill it’s 19

[modern brook]

You save ~1 .9 rolls in price

[chilly brook]

That makes more sense

[frosty wedge]

last I saw it was like 675 for a 385 piece and doing a 10 gets you lke 70ish?

did they change the prices/rewards?

[oblique garnet]

yes

[sand egret]

more like 600

multiply that by 10x

😃

[modern brook]

a 10 gives 625 TR

Season 2 scaled it up by a lot

[sand egret]

season 1 values is what you're referring to

[hushed cobalt]

-2°F here, was -17°F yesterday

[modern brook]

because they introduced the system before they wanted to give u access to shit because blizzard

[frosty wedge]

ah ok, yeah I haven't played since before christmas

[daring marlin]

It was -30F last night(with the wind chill)

was epic

anyway

[sand egret]

yeah the TLDR is its way easier

[frosty wedge]

and logging in to 75 TR when the cost was 675

[lusty grotto]

r u in chicago

[hushed cobalt]

Does anyone know how much more titan things you get for past 11? (11 gives 667)

[daring marlin]

M+ kleeps giving me shit

420 hands

410 boots

[frosty wedge]

made me immediately log back out

[hushed cobalt]

Chiraq yes

[daring marlin]

WoW be like y u ditch warrior go back

[modern brook]

Yeah mike it was introduced early

[lusty grotto]

-_-

[sand egret]

i mean a) you'll be swimming in upgrades since all ilvls got racheted up and b) the azerite returns got inflated as well

[modern brook]

THe system is supposed to be catch up / optimization

[sand egret]

so it's not a bad time to come back

[modern brook]

IDK why it existed in season 1 tbh

prolly to limit ppl bitching

[sand egret]

that's exactly why

• they removed them from the cache

[daring marlin]

I actually wish I saved residuum

just because

[modern brook]

Like I get that BFA has problems

[sand egret]

so without it there was actually no way to get it

[daring marlin]

385s stayed at 165

[modern brook]

the wow community is the most retarded thing in existence

it has no fucking clue what it wants

[daring marlin]

and I ended up buying S2 asserite anyway

the 385s

[hushed cobalt]

@lusty grotto i say chiraq because sometimes its hard to say "yep fireworks" or "yep gunshots"

[modern brook]

and anytime you point that out it has a fucking panic attack

[frosty wedge]

i mean, I was sitting at 383 ilvl using a 355 helm

[daring marlin]

shoulda defered that gratification

qq

[lusty grotto]

oh, i wasnt asking you tsar

[sand egret]

it knows, it just has 10000 different equally relevant views

a lot of which conflict

[lusty grotto]

but no worries, there's gunshots where i live now too P

[hushed cobalt]

:( just live on 2nd floor or higher in old brick building

[sand egret]

anyway, if you were thinking about a time to come back, now is the best time as any

[lusty grotto]

ye

and ye

[frosty wedge]

meh, maybe I'll check it out tonight - my issue is even the guys I was running m+ with all quit when I did

[lusty grotto]

and prot 👌

[frosty wedge]

lol

[sand egret]

meh i pug M+ and i still have fun

[lusty grotto]

join teamchip, carry my alts

[frosty wedge]

I have 3 tanks sitting at 380+ that I can hope back into

[chilly brook]

I actually have to find a group of people to play with again

[frosty wedge]

hop*

[lusty grotto]

[hushed cobalt]

Y'all are horde aren't you?

[frosty wedge]

[frosty wedge]

[lusty grotto]

[sand egret]

[frosty wedge]

hahaha nice

[lusty grotto]

math checks out

[frosty wedge]

and did teh rewards from m+ go up in s2?

[sand egret]

this wasn't reaps unfortunately

[lusty grotto]

[daring marlin]

Anyone have a link to the M+ weekly chest TR scaling?

Dude I haven't played much in a while, idk how much I'll be carrying anyone lmao

[warm plinth]

@daring marlin

[daring marlin]

good

[sand egret]

10 is ~ a 13 yeah

[frosty wedge]

kk, I mean iw as running 13s back in december, shouldn't be an issue

[sand egret]

• like emissarry shit is WAY more interesting since that stuff scales to 385 as well

[lusty grotto]

dont worry griff, the muscle memory will come back in 1 pull

[frosty wedge]

plus no shitty infested

[chilly brook]

yea infested was cool

[lusty grotto]

I'm Knot + that at 385

[daring marlin]

I'll be farming a 400+ vial

[lusty grotto]

im knot and.... fuck

[sand egret]

replaced my 380 block with that vers trinket

gives me ~ 7% vers at 40% uptime

[lusty grotto]

knot + ramp amp engine 😦

cause its what i got from timewalking

[sand egret]

i dunno what that even is

[lusty grotto]

mechatorque trinket apparently

on use haste

insta macro to avatar

[sand egret]

i want that opulence trinket real bad

super IV

like RP and IV had a baby

[chilly brook]

yo

If I turn down my graphics to 1

[lusty grotto]

wut up

[chilly brook]

you think I can maintain 144fps in a raid?

[lusty grotto]

dude

you know freesync works with nvidia cards now right?

[sand egret]

gsync

[lusty grotto]

after the latest driverrs

[sand egret]

as of the 15th of Jan

select monitors have been "approved"

[lusty grotto]

yup but you need a 10 or 20 series

[chilly brook]

I'm well aware

[sand egret]

and mine is one of them

soo 👢 🍵 👏

[lusty grotto]

yeah blade that's kinda bullshit, they have a real list of them on reddit

[chilly brook]

I would still rather have 144

[sand egret]

tbf it's simply a list of ones they've actually gone and tested

[lusty grotto]

trust me with freesync working you won't notice the difference anyway

[sand egret]

it'll still "work" (read you can manually turn it on) for any monitor

[lusty grotto]

ya

[sand egret]

it's just not "guaranteed"

[lusty grotto]

my friends with ultrawide acers were giddy

[sand egret]

yeah i got an acer too

[lusty grotto]

they say its working great

[sand egret]

it's lovely

[chilly brook]

ugh

this is dumb

[frosty wedge]

I have a BenQ 144 hz monitor and a 1070

I'll have to try that shit out

[lusty grotto]

is it freesync?

[chilly brook]

cache rewards up to 385

[lusty grotto]

or gsync

because otherwise it wont work

[chilly brook]

world quest rewards 355 lmao

[sand egret]

also i posted this last night but....

lolol

[frosty wedge]

I never understood why they decentivize doing worldquests

just let shit scale

[lusty grotto]

yo..

[sand egret]

its not a decenctivization

[lusty grotto]

fuck world quests now though

[sand egret]

it's keeping a scaling sctructure

[oblique garnet]

theres no point to scale the world quests to have anything above 385 gear

[lusty grotto]

everyone suddenly turned WM off

and now its me vs 250 alliance

[daring marlin]

They'll probably bump caches to 400 eventually

[sand egret]

WQ are literally there so you can go from fresh 120 > 350 so you can start doing M0

[daring marlin]

Like they did during Uldir.

[sand egret]

they aren't meant for others outside of that band

[lusty grotto]

yeah wqs are good to get expulsom too

[sand egret]

so saying they don't scale to you is like saying the Tutorial is dumb because its telling you stuff you already know

[chilly brook]

I mean I'd agree with that @sand egret if they didn't scale off your ilvl

[sand egret]

even more so

[frosty wedge]

the issue is you can gear so quickly that WQs become useless

[sand egret]

it scaling prolongs the progression phase, the sense of improvement. It's a nuance that honestly has very little bearing on a lot of the playerbase but it's equally important to those whom it does affect

they have a use

[drifting raven]

Question in terms of tanking where would warriors rank now adays as tanks?

[sand egret]

it's just the use isn't evergreen

[lusty grotto]

you came to warrior discord

here's your answer

[dusk locust]

and not everybody is in a raiding progression guild that's willing to boost their friend's alts

[lusty grotto]

we are #1

S type tank

there's your answer... totally non-biased because we are a warrior discord 😃 👍

[sand egret]

totally

[lusty grotto]

sarcasm

viable

[sand egret]

we're also the best healers

and best dps

so there's that

[lusty grotto]

yes

[grand trellis]

Well often we are the best dps

Sooooo

[lusty grotto]

not often

always

please, don't disrespect

[sand egret]

yeah, you come here to turn that "often" into bitching about that one DH

or in my case

random Ret from Ragnaros

[lusty grotto]

from ragnaros?

[sand egret]

seriously

yeah

[warm plinth]

Wut

[lusty grotto]

holy fuck he was from rag?

[warm plinth]

Pics or it didn't happen

[sand egret]

brazilian jesus dude

[grand trellis]

Some ret pulling 200k on reaping

[lusty grotto]

blade you should buy the powerball

[sand egret]

im telling ya

he had like 60k burst

i was NOT expecting that shit on pull

[lusty grotto]

yeah that's realistic

[oblique garnet]

i wish i remembered what it was being top dps in reaping adds :<

[lusty grotto]

the fact that he was from ragnaros is the part that's impressive

[sand egret]

yeah that ST pressure was intense

and on AoE....oh booy

[warm plinth]

Yeah, like getting beaten on aoe dps happens from time to time, but a good player being from Ragnaros doesn't.

[grand trellis]

Surprising he got an invite to a group with that server tag

[sand egret]

I had to get that early clap going

[lusty grotto]

not all of us have that blocking addon

[sand egret]

im telling ya

[lusty grotto]

there are still some good players in Azralon for example

[sand egret]

this dude didn't say a word

and straight up CRUSHED it

[grand trellis]

That’s an insta decline from me, Rag is a big no

[warm plinth]

Now Blade is gonna purposely invite Rag people in the future just in the hopes of getting that diamond in the rough

[lusty grotto]

it's fun to gamble

ROFL

[sand egret]

its the thrill

[daring marlin]

blade

[sand egret]

not gonna lie

i do that

[daring marlin]

Ret is legit as FUCK now

[oblique garnet]

i gamble with the russians all the time

[daring marlin]

with empyrean and light's decree

[oblique garnet]

you never know

[sand egret]

Rag is like the EU's Russians

[oblique garnet]

they might be exorsus players

[lusty grotto]

true

[sand egret]

just gotta roll the dice sometimes

[lusty grotto]

we had exorsus dudes in here back in ToS

i forget his name

fuck

[daring marlin]

Makes me wanna play my pally as ret and have him be my M+ DPS

[warm plinth]

Let's not forget about Quel'thalas

[lusty grotto]

please, dont say that guilfart

nimchipadin doesnt wanna ret

[daring marlin]

I refuse to play my Warlock seriously in M+ cuz I won't be touching Demo.

[oblique garnet]

you people have too strong prejudice bois

[daring marlin]

BR servers are a big no for me.

mostly language barrier

[lusty grotto]

let me be honest though

[signal plover]

No

[lusty grotto]

i dont get as pissed off when a BR fails and does his shenanigans, than i do with a retarded NA player

i guess because it's expected

[sand egret]

I expect very little from everyone

so i tend to be happy a lot more 😃

[lusty grotto]

true

its pugs

everyone sucks

[sand egret]

like I don't expect my dks to grip, but when they do its 👍

[daring marlin]

Nimchipadin needs to ret

to feel the power

[lusty grotto]

nuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[daring marlin]

helm off ivus is amazing too

gl next time you get him

my pally didn't get it 😦

[sand egret]

i legit contemplated leveling my paladin for about 10 seconds the other night

[warm plinth]

Did him on 4 toons with seals. Got nothing. 😢

[daring marlin]

same

wel

I rolled boots

I guess

garbage

[sand egret]

then it was like 2-hander fantasy.....why not play Arms? shield tank....why not play prot?

[lusty grotto]

yeah blade

i feel the same way

[sand egret]

and then i logged onto my war

and stomped

[daring marlin]

arms is bad

silly blade

[warm plinth]

Arms though

[sand egret]

arms is fucking arms

[lusty grotto]

shut up guilford

[warm plinth]

🤢

[sand egret]

Arms is OG

[lusty grotto]

listen yall

[sand egret]

I ain't touchin Fury

[chilly brook]

How's the new alchemist's stone? I doubt it's any good just simply because it's locked at 355 but might as well ask

[sand egret]

as far as i'm concerned, Warrior is a 2 spec class

[lusty grotto]

🤝 bladesong

[sand egret]

it's good Griff

[warm plinth]

It's not locked at 355 though

[daring marlin]

prot and fury?

[sand egret]

it scales to BoD levels now and it's a 1ppm

[chilly brook]

Oh

[sand egret]

isn't Fury a DH spec?

[chilly brook]

What do you mean it scales?

[sand egret]

goes up to ilvl 400

etc

[chilly brook]

I lied

[sand egret]

new recipes via new raid mats yada

[chilly brook]

I guess the one I see is 385

[sand egret]

it's solid

[chilly brook]

But I don’t see a 400 one

[sand egret]

gotta craft the 385 one first I believe

[warm plinth]

It's 1ppm and scales with haste. So if you have 10% haste it'd be 1.1ppm

[chilly brook]

Huh not bad

Even more reason to spam dungeons

[sand egret]

ya know what else scales with haste....

[chilly brook]

How much tidal core typically drops? Just one per dungeon?

[sand egret]

DLRP

yumyumyumyum

[warm plinth]

1 guaranteed from last boss on M0; randomly possible from last boss of heroics. And I think one drops from m+ chest maybe? I would think so anyway. Not sure if it's 1 for each person or 1 overall though.

[lusty grotto]

I think it drops for everyone

But not 100% sure

[chilly brook]

not bad for a cache I suppose

[sand egret]

i dunno that weapon speed..... #JustVanillaThings

[chilly brook]

Oh shoot

What’s the ilvl reward for warfronts now

[warm plinth]

Arathi didn't change; Darkshore is 400

[chilly brook]

Like 400 period or 400 for the quest

[warm plinth]

400 for the quest and boss

[lusty grotto]

its too bad ivus azerite still has 3 rings tho

[chilly brook]

Off

Odd*

[warm plinth]

Wait what?

No it doesn't

[lusty grotto]

400 knot though hnnnngg

it doesnt?

[warm plinth]

Ivus azerite is 5 rings

[lusty grotto]

oh then journal hasnt updated

fuck... tell me hes still up

[warm plinth]

I'm literally looking at the journal right now :p

[lusty grotto]

i checked on tuesday

[warm plinth]

He's up for NA alliance right now

[lusty grotto]

NOOOO

[warm plinth]

He wouldn't have been 400 for you anyway I don't believe. Not until next cycle.

[lusty grotto]

ah

ok that makes sense

[warm plinth]

EU Alliance got the real shaft. They brought up the warfront almost right before the update, so they didn't get the 400 gear from the warfront lol

[lusty grotto]

i guess it was the same for NA horde

[warm plinth]

Arathi warfront shit does still only have 4 rings though, even though it's 370. Inb4 Blizz removes azerite from the loot table.

Since that's what they do instead of making the drops better.

I don't really get upset by their changes, but I did get annoyed when I read the developer note on the removal of Azerite rewards from the assault quests.

Like they were doing us a goddamn favor by taking it away from the chests

[steady dock]

Yo! How do you guys survive Jadefire Masters HC? When we kil the dragon the phoenix hits for 80-100k and completely destroys me. What am I missing ?

[slate vine]

Anyone else getting issues with Grong ? He's doing like combo > tantrum > still launching me after tantrum instead of being kicked

[thin ore]

vial of animated blood any good for anything?

[lusty grotto]

yeah

vial is good

it's great for M+

macro it to avatar

[minor kestrel]

Just crafted the JC ring. got 300 vers 160 mastery. worth or get mats to craft one with haste?

[lusty grotto]

the jc ring is what ilvl?

if you have mats go for it

[minor kestrel]

400 only

[lusty grotto]

if you have mats go for it

if not, dont stress over it

secondaries are not worth sacrificing ilvl over and the most you could do with rings since they dont have armor or str, is around 10 ilvls

[minor kestrel]

alright thx, im saving it for now 😃

[daring marlin]

What engi is required for the helm?

I think I'm gonna pick that up on my Warrior and drop BS.

[lusty grotto]

why though

legs and belt are good

[daring marlin]

I have 400 belt with a socket and 410 legs already

[chilly brook]

Ugh

[lusty grotto]

brez is solid though

[chilly brook]

Complete a m+ and get nothing

[daring marlin]

That's the plan.

[chilly brook]

Feels bad

[lusty grotto]

yeah i dont know

[daring marlin]

git gud griff

M+ has ben good to me

[lusty grotto]

do 15s griff

[daring marlin]

420 hands, 410 boots

[daring marlin]

Bring balance to*

i dont even like star wars

:/

[lusty grotto]

but its destroy the sith

hold up

[supple path]

Sounds like the sand's getting everywhere in here. Seems coarse.

[lusty grotto]

Yippee

now this is pod racing

[sand egret]

only coarse thing here is the dust that settled on Tofu's Prot Badge

amiright

[lusty grotto]

👉 🚪 you ruined prequel meme hour

[sand egret]

ahem, you know calling it a "prequel" also is admitting that it actually is a legit movie to be recognized....that's like calling Ravager a talent.

[lusty grotto]

listen

the prequels still exist

they are bad

but they exist

[daring marlin]

I just had

a monk somehow die

[lusty grotto]

they are not as bad as that supposed avatar the last air bender movie that never got released

[daring marlin]

on the first boss of KR

and the warrior too

and they let adds get to the boss

the adds have legit less than 30k hp each

? ? ?

[lusty grotto]

was the healer healing

cause the add thing does a dot

[daring marlin]

idk mang

I know

[lusty grotto]

did they die to whirlwind-thingie

[daring marlin]

I'm in shock at them dying.

[lusty grotto]

i would alt+f4

if they did

[sand egret]

the monk as in a brm monk?

i thought them being able to die was a bug?

[daring marlin]

haha

no it was a WW

I know good meme

[sand egret]

hmm yeah...only time i see dps die on that fight is if the healer forgets about them. that dot hurts

it is Tyrannical week after all

[daring marlin]

That's actually hilarious

they both did die to spit gold

sad

and of course the boomkin decided to rage quit

I love people like that tbh

[sand egret]

i legit had like 10 deaths in a run and still +2'd it. the timers are super generous now...people leaving is just like...wat

[limber tulip]

@raven ore || you ever just yeet ||

[modern brook]

who the fuck talking shit about ravager

:^(

[raven ore]

Ravager sucks

[modern brook]

:^(

ravager 3 bom 3 GS op u'll see

total side bar has anyone tested if bom gives mastery to arms still?

[sand egret]

should still yeah

[modern brook]

😮

[sand egret]

gives you a free IP and mast during avatar if you got it

[modern brook]

if only mast did anything for arms

[sand egret]

the deepest wounds

[modern brook]

triple tom triple Bom omega spin

[sand egret]

BoM workin with Arms is just another reason why Arms is the only true War dps spec

[modern brook]

my dream is still 2h Prot

ie: just prot with stomp and revenge

but revenge req 1h :^(

[keen spire]

omg have you tested Arms with BoM? lol

[modern brook]

I havent but my omega meme build is triple bom triple tom Fob Avatar dreadnaught

[magic steppe]

Guys 1 question is Treacherous Covenant good for protection in BOD ? Is that talent worth it

[modern brook]

I think the consensus on TC was no

but i know it was debating whether or not you could take 81% of your health in a single shot from full and whether or not that would trigger the extra damage taken

That said a lot of prot traits increase damage AND survivability simultaneously which tends to be more attactive

[urban idol]

Hey ! I just finished my raid and I would like to ask you something, maybe I missed a dev note but did they buff Heroic Jaina damage ?

My mate and I are getting wrecked

[modern brook]

not to my knowledge

[native bear]

is lingering sporepods garbage for prot?

[steel mauve]

ya, sporepods is garbage

[modern brook]

there are def better options

[urban idol]

It's weird because we already did Jaina last Tuesday and the damage seems crazy now

[native bear]

well mainly for mythic+ dmg focused

I know its not good for raids

[steel mauve]

an extremely high ilvl one has uses for str but your other trinkets would have be fairly low, the proc on it is awful

[modern brook]

^

[native bear]

its either that or 370 blood/eye

[modern brook]

also iron; as an update cause you were the first one to respond to me last night

[native bear]

vs 400 pod

[modern brook]

Grip DoT is confirmed reflectable

on heroic grong

[steel mauve]

if so then i would suggest reflecting it than reducing the slam damage

[modern brook]

https://puu.sh/CFgoz/e72571f762.png

[steel mauve]

thats 30k every second compared to a 1 time slam, so ignoring literally 150k damage

[modern brook]

just prevents the 5s dot, sitll get stunned, still get thrown, still do bestial impact

yeah

[native bear]

so which do i get rid of? Rezan eye 370, blood vial 370 or lingering sporepods 400

only for mythic+

not raiding

[tender phoenix]

get better

[native bear]

I will

but for now this is what I got

[modern brook]

id say pod

30 ilvls is alot though so its a super hesitent pod

maybe pod over vial

🤷

[steel mauve]

i havent done heroic yet, hopefully get to him this weekend, but can you not use abilities during the 5 second throw? wowhead states you can still use abiltiies, the ones that require a facing are finnicky, but should still be able to use cd's

[modern brook]

my experience with Grong is that you're stunned while in his hand and when you land

but if your DPS runs you far enough you can get an ability out while you're in air

I've been sneaking IPs in there

Once grabbed i havent been able to get anything out, regardless of on/off GCD, until i was in the air

[steel mauve]

might be bugged, or could have been a "stealth nerf" before live

[modern brook]

possible

I also dont think DS reduces Bestial Impact damage

[steel mauve]

im sure the wowhead guide was out before live came out, so its a possible change

[modern brook]

Since according to my logs its technically he environment doing the damage?

I'll double cehck that

yeah you can see here I got IP + SR off while in the air on the first, but not the 2nd

this should be proof of DS not reducing Impact

This is the duration of that specific DS

So thats your warrior tech after 30 pulls of Grong

SR the throw

DS doesnt work on BEstial impact

[ocean acorn]

what does A: R: and M: mean

i assume M: mitgated

[modern brook]

ABsorb raw mitigate

Absorb is IP

Mitigate would be any form of damage reduction

[steel mauve]

it sorta makes sense that DS doesnt reduce it if they want to be like, well the ground does the damage to you, but still sucks lol

[modern brook]

In screen shots its Spell reflect both times

B would be block but i didnt get damaged by anything blockable in those screen shots

R is how much it should be without any form of defensive

[ocean acorn]

oh i c

i was digging in the warcraft logs directions and couldnt find those key tersm

[modern brook]

something something big block values

I cant find my double bestial smash block :/

[ocean acorn]

ya i had to tank on champs and only really dps in raids really

so i thought i should pick up looking at logs a bit for tanking

[modern brook]

I fucking suck at reviewing my logs

I just new what i was looking for this time because ppl said i was wrong :^(

[lusty grotto]

any of you sexy bitches need 10+ runs?

on dps alts?

dont tell sal 😦

nuuuu

[final mist]

[lusty grotto]

cough
