I believe they are that you can have the same one open twice in a row
but he also starts the rotation before the other jets finish so you can't really move him a ton
Have him so he'll end his rotation into the current vents
Or just akwardly walk through his butt
mactier absorb-o-tron or auto cauterizer?
i was only thinking of cauterizer cuz i dont raid and do m+
Absorb procs a lot
Oh
and the KR trash bleeds
im not like your guys level but once i get some double traits for tanking where i dont have to swap
Even just 1 x 415 and 1 x 400
trying to start tanking more
ya
Spicy
but im now poor from reforging
Play a real DPS, #protection
Sometimes, I feel like turning around to my group after crushing the damage meters and yelling at them like Samuel L. Jackson "DID I NOT PROTECT YOU, THEY DEAD MOTHER FUCKER"
and didnt have enough to keep switching so im hoping i get like chest and shoulders in raid
most the groups i have been in i have been crushing dps
Feels in 0 BoM :(
If your dps doesnt beat you
They're not trying
And they're using wrong azerite
And they stink
Had 1 piece with it but 30 ilvls below my new piece
Oh noes
I wish my group actually got together to do M+ reliably, I'll never catch Yamorino 😦
1300 this week from mostly pugs lol
im only 1.4k in s2
I was like 950 
my "key group" did 3 freaking keys and totally ditched me monday
But I never entered siege of Boralus lul
This time I have 4 people who want to go to the MDI
LIKE WTF
where did these people come from lol
are u going with them?
yeah I wondered when I saw you shoot up there

or at least someone's computer monitor
I saw your youtube was on there, have you been putting runs up, may look to see if we have similiar routes
Nah. Havent put anything recent up yet
Havent actually started recording
I may start doing that now
I spent saturday saving and highlighting all our raid kills haha
So you guys can reference
Reference and request some tests
I dont know how to make vids :(
did you triple DC by choice
Zero editing
or just what came to ya
Nah, ilvl
Had to reforge back to fury
So if you see me in the callous gear
That's the back up pieces
1 DC 2 Callous
you still running jaina trinket?
how much DC worth in ilvl now ?
gotta remember to loot spec arms for jaina for the trinket
I'd always keep 1
i dont have any other
@inland mesa yeah
I have some logs up
With jaina trinket
Upwards of 5% of my dmg
On tyrannical week
@floral lake DC is worth 15 if used perfectly
what's your other to go with it? I've been running diamond/eye cuz I like pulling too much and proc'ing eye lol
almost no one uses it perfectly
alright, thx a lot for the quick answer
🤷
its still strong
but its not going to really crush another item depending on the traits
I have the damn Grong trinket
reaping on BrM is so bs, put statue down, watch them all run in, and destroy them
i got CR and DC, other piece is like brace or CR + iron fortress
TFW reaping mobs don't have threat tables
they do but apparently no add on is good at tracking it atm on bars
I mean, I like it when they hit me
threatplates still just shows none of them for me
Just clap bear them
Because they'll randomly target
Otherwise laugh at your dps
is that why they pull? I figured it was just people going ham on a specific one
For running away
which is why ou need to LOS
I pop a lot of potions too
Well to be fair
i have been encountering issues where they would dturn during the cast and so the circle will be on once side but the actual impact was like in front of him
if he's going to stand on shadowcrash
he'd probably die instantly on the tyrannical last boss
doesnt happen often
we had 7 minutes going into last boss, used all 3 battle rezzes, monk healer never took a single heartseeker...
i have seen it where the purple indicator was like facing the north
but hit like south side
Chewtoy thats how the last boss of TD goes
if that makes sense
now to go home and do 4 M0 quick and hope for something good
even with 7 minues
you'd have been lucky to kill that fuck
somuch
health
what is it like 24m on tyrannical 15
@uneven mason Running in circles is the only way to tank
died at 9% with 2:30 to spare, would have timed it >.>
i mean u have to be facing it
no one left for 2nd heartseeker and low dps so it lasted forever
should have big brained and turned and killed a dps instead lol
yeah
thats what I did on my kill
walked behind the warlock
SORRYBRUH ME and the ret got this
PEW
Anyone know of a good WA for prot DPS rotation or offensive? I know about cycling my CDs and all that and have all my tracking up. I read through the FAQ and also checked out the WA page but couldn’t find much except defensive abilities for prot. Simed my character at 11k and I’m barely breaking 4K on boss fights 🤷🏻♂️
Also tired following the recommended rotation on IV but I’m still having some issues.
Are shoulders the best first random 415 to get?
Depends on what 415 pieces you already have
None
Then whats the best 400 pieces you have
Buy the piece with the worst stats
So it's your best upgrade
At least in ilvl
that was my go to but
they convinced me 1st boss in raid drops a good chest and easy
so plan accordingly
if you're engi, you probably won't go helm for example
@subtle quail there are none that i know of. You could try tellmewhen but i would advice against it and to learn your class better. Just keep track on SB (or Last Stand with Boslter), Demo Shout, IP + it's total absorb... the rest are CDs you need to keep track of
as far as WAs, i personally use Khakhan's
it's not a tellmewhen replacement though
as in, it won't tell you what to press but it does some glowing stuff that might help
oh baby melee dps in raids is so much fun
you can just turn of your brain dodge shit on the ground and mongo dps
hehe
is it me or is ML really hard for prot
its not
you need to learn what to reflect though
it is harder on high tyrannical
like some of the packs really seem to hurt
masterminds prolly
masterminds = reflect their channel
the one, this week, right before 2nd boss
what level is this key?
uhh the rock dudes?
that shouldn't be hard though
the casters need to be interrupted by your team though
u have to reflect at the beginning of the channel right
Prot is very unforgiving of mistakes
you can SR then
yeah i guess, but reflect in the pre-cast for full dmg
if he means the dwarf dudes though
cause he said 2nd boss
reflect and have your interrupts/stuns ready
@last mason Just to be sure before you get in to "oh this one mob you can SR"
Get your block / bolster / etc down
cause masterminds come before 3rd boss
Prot is less forgiving than monk/DK/etc when it comes to using your AM
are there any resources that kinda go through dungeons and tell you about that "this you can sr" etc
^^^
Blockable/Reflectable Spells Sheet
But honestly 95% of the issues I see with prot don't even touch "could have SR'd this one spell"
in ML though, SR is important
it's overlapping block/last stand, using IP too much
doesnt the last boss hit for fire dmg tho
its reflected
oh
i mean its not a killer ability
not 100% required i should say
on masterminds, 3rd boss, perhaps
the rest not so much since shamans can be interrupted
guys for M+ what should i use? 410 Vial of Animated Blood +86 avoidance or 400 merektha's Fang + socket?
vial hands down
vial
do you think 25 ilvls is enough to upgrade a ring without thought for secondaries
haste crit to crit mastery
don't go beyond that
even 10ilvl it is
oh ok
doesn't matter which stats it is
different item @proven galleon
rings don't have STR
i was talking bout ring too 😃
also any tips for atal
Opinion on Jaina trinket?
srs, etc
@last mason Every secondary helps you defensively and offensively, and they are all very close, more stats > less stats
its good dmg Boki4 from what i've seen
vial has a STR use
yh
any tips for atal dazar
Don't die
like spell reflects, or any small things like that
i have
a lot
but not as a tank
Just don't die
The same spreadsheet
just don't die, dps
Use your shield
im with yamo
despite the trolling, there's not much special about AD afaik
im kinda learning through trial by fire
you're 400 ilvl
its a 13 so middle ground i guess
just throwing myself into pugs
make sure you interrupt augur casts (enchantment is the killer one iirc)
make sure you interrupt fears (because of your team, since we have berserker rage)
dunno what else /shrug
AD is tank and spank
pretty much
All the way through
Your AoE stun is useful for the shield skeles
since you can interupt both at the ame time
fear works well for shield skellies
does it?
those big guys must hurt once the totems are dead right
I always feel like the immune it
w/e theyre called
Yup
getting the engineering helm cause 415, any preferences on which traits to use?
yes, but that's mostly on your dps
Yamo baby
Sup
Can you pm me your fuiry weakauras?
yamo can you make me a less shitty tank
❤
step 1: play your warrior again
on packs that you arent popping avatar and shout on, do you focus more on mitigation
step 2: ??????
fury spending wise
My 400s I'm using with Helm BoM/DC, Shoulders Iron Fortress/Bonded Souls, & Chest BoM/Bonded.
step 3: profit
if that makes sense
healers job to focus on mitigation 😛
Which 415s would you say? I'm thinking Shoulders
@true plover do you have engineering?
No
ok, go get engineering
eh? you're always focusing on mitigation @last mason
go shoulders for the guaranteed DC
Nah don't want engi
you don't switch off from doing your defensive rotation while in avatar
that's not how it works
if you have LS + Avatar up, sure but you still need to maintain IP... and obviously Demo for the extra damage
just use SB to increase ss damage
and that of course
you don't focus more on, or less on mitigation for any reason
and much less so in fort week
@lusty grotto It's kinda hard to answer questions like that for someone with a semi-unknown level of understanding about warriors
You can definitely choose between spending rage on IP vs. revenge
well i'm assuming he went through the guide
but yeah you're right
of course he won't press IP if he has one up with a lot of absorb remaining
but that applies to every type of content
@last mason the tl;dr is that you always want to priortize having SB up
bonded souls or bloodsport?
never, ever choose to use rage on something besides for shield block
did you read the azerite part of the guide @modern pulsar ?
With the excess rage above that you can choose between revenge and IP
Would you run Bloodsport or an Initial stack of Callous Reprisal?
revenge will sometimes proc to not cost rage, IP will sometimes still be up so using it again would be a waste
you mean a 2nd Bloodsport?
I don't have 1 of either
i went to icy veins and bonded souls is not listed
that's because it's not good
And they are right next to each other without a huge push for 1 over the other which is why I ask
Right but in the details written out they are both made to seem pretty 'meh'. If neither was spectacular but CR gave me extra damage I'd still go CR.
Seeing the list doesn't tell me how much the jump is from 1-2 or 2-3
@true plover The guide pretty much goes by defensiveness
Bloodsport won't give you more damage, its valid to do the other option
the absorb amount you gain by IP, means you might have rage available to press revenge
without having to refresh IP
it's kinda common sense, if you want to look at it from a dps perspective
Once prot has fully-functioning sims you'll know for sure, although modeling IP will be... interesting
I'll go with BS for now then. Thanks guys.
for CR to work you have to use Revenge
not that you're not using it
but when a free revenge isn't available, you usually have to decide on a rage spender other than SB which is the priority
in the context of using revenge i mean
this is why parses are kinda unreliable
because in the current parse im sure CR would outdps BS for obvious reasons
i.e. not using IP at all
im so fucking bad at this spec
or SB
just threw the 13
im sitting here looking at the rankings for prot warrior hps, and im like did these guys just remove shield block from their bars? how do they not use it as reflex lol
the pack before 2nd boss fucked me
so SB management is kind of spotty hehe
Hey guys! How are Tank Warriors doing? I think I want to role one when I can make the KT Human
i feel like i cant gen enough resources to keep mitigation up
2nd boss of where?
youre not using rage correctly
just attempted a 13
Overusing IP/Revenge probably
the default ones, and yea
shrug
if you kill the totem you activate both nuking adds plus two casters
and thats a big yikes
yea they killed the totems
Default according to who? Noxxic default talents are considerably different than icy-veins :p
so that was part of it
i feel like you need to go read up on routes
you can deathrun solo to further down and let the party cross to the boss room
its weird cause you said you've done AD
if you dont have a rogue
so i assumed you knew about the skip
CR is only ever going to be good if you're willing to trade a substantial number of IPs for revenge hardcasts
i know the routes, we had a rogue but we were following a mdt route which included that pack
its more my knowledge of the spec i feel
seriously lacking
And imho at that point you are reaching the point where you are trading a LOT of survival for a small dps gain
i use mdt routes with pugs all the time, but i change them a bit depending on what we have
that was the route
honestly i use them to know percents most of the time
the pack before second boss fucked me up
this week for teeming?
paired with my poor spec knowledge
When is more haste too much haste?
there's not too much haste
Teeming fortified

biggest issue with that pack is if you start getting higher bleed stacks via the zombies, Sleepy
never sacrifice ilvl for haste though
im assuming that isnt an option
i mean i just pull them to the side and die, group goes in, i get rezzed
That route seems to trade several fairly easy % pickups for several really hard ones
same to go out
which it may be easier to deal with the big bois first and keep the casters CC’d since they are humanoids
@lusty grotto thanks for the info, I’ll check out that WA when I get back on later. 👍🏻
if you have absolutely no way to skip it (but you can skip it)
I mean I can see the argument that its faster, but in most keys under 15+ you dont need to do bigger pulls you just need to not die and keep things moving
heh trust me, with pugs... i try to skip as much as i can
I'd rather spend an extra 20s on 2 easy pulls than 1 hard pull
Plus on teeming weeks doesn't that pack have 2 blade guards added?
assuming you dont skip it this week, mitigating the bleed by chopping up the bleed is the way to go imho
That's some serious bs
id rather not worry about pug#2 shitty dps once a key starts 😦
2 blade guards?
hmm
wait, blade gaurds are the skelies right?
yeah the ones that do the stunnable/fearable shield
Nim bud you just seriously improved my life
they are undead
That's what I thought
shockwave when they both throw it up
hmmm
Ya I know stuns work
im 100% i've feared them
and i learned that from a priest friend
let me check logs to be sure
ive never had my fear break that channel
i just pray my dps doesnt mong their aoe stuns
is there any better way to jsut trial by fire pug keys to get better at this, or not really
to be clear, we’re talking about the skeletons that channel that aoe reduction bubble and shield bash ya, right?
ride your key sleepy
any slots particularly good or bad for us for TR?
as one who only pugs, ride yo key
I have the engi helmet, 400 shoulders with IF/BFI (something I guess) and 385 chest - thinking I'll get a 415 rando chest unless there are a bunch of poopy chest pieces
there are a lot of players who are in the same boat you’re in. ride your key, even post that your learning a route if you need to. i tend to put “chill” in the title to set expectations
once you get down the general ins and outs of a dungeon, it’s way easier to scale that up
run sub 10s @last mason
yeah the fear thing doesn't make any sense but im still looking at logs
is it even worth trying it this week, these affixes suck
not the worst ones
Best ones for clap damage :)
but explosive can get out of hand if you pull too much
we’re pretty suited for them tbh
Temple is pretty decent this week - no huge pulls and teeming isn't allllll that bad
also, despite the “omg pull have the dungeon for big meme dps” rhetoric here, dont be afraid to ask for CC
esp this week on Teeming
i gotta upload my logs
so i noticed glickwarrior runs never surrender instead of bolster? is that right
that's the cast though
yeah thats just the cast
nvm i think its just like an armory bug or something
please don't use never surrender, it might even be them meme'ing for whatever reason
sorry im on mobile lo
yeah im checking
he casted it but it didnt affect the mob
he is the only one who has done 21s i was currious to see talents and stiff
Just reinstalled yesterday, what's the go to talent build these days?
sorry @keen galleon i was smoking something strong apparently lol
@sick sentinel
icy veins guide
1121211 atm, not sure how good it is
also u cant fear the sheild bearers cuz theya re undead and undead cant be feared
yes, we know this
thats why intimidating shout doesnt work o nthem
yeah, Nim is just a bit dense
lol
i havent touched the mage in 2 months
lul
TOO LONG
why 1121211 and not 1123211?
@sick sentinel Indom is bad. The only talent in that row worth taking (because it's so good) is Bolster.
honestly: i havent changed my talents in so long that i always forget which talents are where
more hp aint that good only makes you more heal sponge
Other than that, it's fine, though Storm Bolt might serve you better depending on your group comp.
I only knew because I was looking at Glick's talents from that armory link @sand egret 😂
the only tiers that are up to you are 2nd tier and 5th tier, everything else is set in stone for now
But Nim,
😢
😢
damn it blade
Ravager will be buffed. And still not be worth taking.
I think one of the articles Marok or Lala wrote suggested moving Ravager somewhere, which would at least make it slightly more appealing. Can't remember which article it was though.
shit sounds 🔥
haha 🤐
NDA = Need to DM Anyone you tell? I'm cool with that.
rofl
that is the ppm for tradewinds
Teem/Explosive/Fortified? One of the worst weeks in my opinion.
new week?
i mean its teeming and fort
so its a blast for good warriors and horrible for bad ones
explosive orbs omnomnom
😬
Not so bad week, just need dhs and protwarrs
I'm guessing Revenge is not one of the abilities that can hit orbs now right?
doesn't matter
I mean, it does for my curiosity lol
we basically 1 shot them and get victory rushes
I'm not saying I need it to; I was just wondering if it did.
Soloed a +12 Dresaron in Legion only because it was explosive week and I had victory rush procs lol
i think i've 1 shotted them with deva
(no bracers)
Yeah I would think Revenge wouldn't. I think it was only things that required a primary target like Avenger's Shield
Even Blade Dance doesn't iirc, even though it has the priority target damage component
i gotta get back to you on it... but
i think if you target them you can revenge them out
but once again not 100% sure
Revenge should not, no. It’s not a chained ability
Yeah I think it was just things that jumped. Like Avenger's Shield, Throw Glaive, etc.
And the orb has to be your primary target
yeah
which are basically multiple single target spells that cast in a sequence
i might not run M+ until thursday sigh
I always thought aoe shit should work on them as long as you targeted the orb though. Would be pretty cool.
so ilvl over everything i get that but if i lose like 15 percent haste is it really worth it? with all my hiest gear im at 399 but im only sitting at 13 percent haste and at 26 percent with all 5 stacks of ITF
yes
Yes, it's worth it
haste is a secondary
yep
ilvl > secondaries
Late and I did a bunch of pushing on this affix
damn
only difference is Reaping
feels so shitty
today? wtf
but reaping is better than infested
oh you mean season 1
OK YALL CACHE TIME
im sitting at 14 percent vers at like 18 percent crit lol
doesn't matter scooby
Yeah if you get a solid group that likes to chew on orbs, explosive isn't too bad. But your average pug will make you want to punch a baby
secondaries aren't that important, they are all equally good
tbh I usually get 90% of the orbs myself
Same, because I can't trust other people 😅
nono you don't want group touching orbs
Pug explosives is the worst thing I've ever seen
Besides, VR procs nomnom
orbs are ours always
VR > Clap > repeat lol
Basically
well i got a 410 briny barn
RIP
that was nice! good strng lol
replaced a 380
there are better but still ok
jes howleer
Trinkets are an exception to the ilevel rule btw. Large ilevel with main stat I'd still change, but if you have anything else close to that that's better overall, I'd use it instead probably.
what did you get Blade
GAHAHHAHAHA
i got a fucking bracer
well my trinkets are either 380 jes howler or brany my other is the diamond
also did you roll on your mystery azerite?
Maybe he got your sporepods
LUL
so rip trinkets but ehhh
Not bad
nice
I have that shield, but at 380
bout time tbh
i am using the 385 shield from a WQ with hast/maste/indes
had that shield since week 3
What were you using before?
380 w/socket
Ah
shields are our biggest upgrades (always ilvl>all with them) Scooby
that i got on the 3rd week lol
they will make you tankier by miles
yeah
so i'm really stoked on this
havnt goten anything higher yet
5% increased block %$
i might try to pug the raid
Didn't get lucky enough for a socket but I was using a 340 before that so I'm okay with it for now
went from 45% to 50%
Sexy
i got ML 😃
what are the teeming mobs in KR this week
Is it even possible for ML to have more mobs in it?
honestly wouldn't notice
Ikr
i feel like every pull is 10+ mobs
P o g
This was my chest this week
guys, for survavibility, its better bastion of might or brace for impact?
BFI from a straight defensive point. However, BoM's power varies by content
Crit block 🤤
m+ is such fucking trash this week, even as dps
pugging is impossible
its pushing week
whats your m+ scoire
bad rerolls can't go up in rankings
i was ~1200 at the end of last season
probs high enough that you play with good people
how tf are u finding people capable of playing these affixes when we;re in the same io range
get similar io people?
prot feels really good atm. I'm a happy boi
tbh? you do 90% of the work this week
what AD skip?
this week is literally a) snag all the orbs and b) assign out CC if the pack is real nasty
'"not trying to flame, even though i just flamed u"
I'm 1.2k and don't know what skip you're talking about
That's like saying "no offense, but..." and then saying something offensive 😏
but I've also never done Shrine in time so can totally see it lol
those people are worse than the ones who have the balls to flame u to your face
Does strenght in numbers stack?
As long as you have a 10 in every key, your score should be around 1-1.1k
the hp?
yeah
Yeah, it should
the hp value per target should increase, the target cap, no
i was at 1100 last season without doing the skip because i typically dps and know how to cc chain the adds in that pack and focus them before they become issues
but anyway @last mason it's all about knowing the pack mate.
just pull everything and see what happens
So, if you had 5 enemies and 3 traits at 400 ilevel, you could potentially add like 152k hp 😮
i generally view this week as a pushing week, because the affixes are very straight forward and don't relay on other players (like dps during bursting, or Greivous etc)
so it comes down to knowing the best way to deal with X pack
how is this week a pushing week, all the affixes make the dunigeon take exponentially more time
Wdym?
well % and stuff is increased relative to teeming
last week was a push week
🤦
Fortified is better push week
so it doesn't actually make it longer
affixes are negligible if done correctly
last week was ez-mod eweek
tyrannical makes bosses last forever
Tryrannical inflates boss hp which is the huge time sink
since its % based on a HUGE base
even on tyrannical you dont spend as much time on bosses as you do trash
im not gonna say anything
all im gonna say is that i remembered IO was based on servers, so in some servers 1k is easier than others
so that makes sense i guess
Wait what? How is 1k easier for some people than others? You have to do the exact same dungeons/level of key to get the same score 🤔
yea if server affected io that would be so stupid
nah ghash
it does affect tho
it is pretty relative
rankings are different on each server
you could be like 1700 on garona and ik on sarg
some servers have lower treshold where you get rating
i.e you get score from lower ranked keys etc
Okay but that makes it more tedious, not harder
what Late said
You're doing the same difficulty dungeon to get x score
lmao thats some horrid logic right there
yeah
but on X server that score isn't even posted
^
lets take this week as an example
god this xpac fucking sucks, i cant even repsec back to dps because of fucking 80k reforge costs
isnt it 500 per realm? and if ANY members realm has a spot the key will be added? lmao
I guess. But you can adjust and do keys right after reset if you're on a server like that. It doesn't affect your score, but rather your ability to get a run counted.
THe only way the server comes in is if it's tracked.
really hard to have 500 keys done at a certain level and if it is theyre probably not very high
And as cavey said, if you have anybody in your group on a lower pop score, it's still counted.
but the Time that's recorded is pitted against other times, no?
that 500 limit is no longer there
lower pop server*
This is on draenor EU what youd need to do in order to get score from your key
TL;DR Keys have base scores, the faster you complete them, the better your score is.
Only if your entire group was on Draenor EU @oblique garnet
yeah
what affixes is that late? was it last weeks US?
yes last week
ah, ok that makes sense then
So tyrannical raging volcanic
those affixes were free thats not overly hard to do
Server doesn't come in at all in terms of how the score works, just whether or not it's trackable - and that's not Raider.io's part, that's because of Blizzard's API.
So telling someone their score is only good because they're only a lower populated server is, to be quite frank, a load of horse shit.
so what your saying is that regardless of whether it's tracked, you'll still see gains on completing a timed key higher than your previous best
Yeah so just as an example, say a +10 in time gives 100 points (which is fairly close to what it actually is). If you do the key in time, you get 100 points no matter what if it's in the top 500 for any of the group's realms. No one else's run comes into it or affects your score in any way past that.
Your score will not change if the run isn't tracked. But what I'm saying is that even if it wouldn't track on your server, it probably will on someone else in your group's server, unless you're all on the same realm.
Ahh, that last part was what I was hung up on
Because it just has to be top 500 for ANYONE's realm, not yours specifically
that makes sense now
although, as a side bar, there's probably a knock-on effect of higher pop servers as they would generally trend to have higher average ilvls thus giving you a higher chance to get someone that outgears a given key leading to higher overall r.io scores 🤔
after all, if a server has a bunch of mythic guilds selling heroic runs....that's just that many more people with gear they maybe wouldn't have the same opportunity to get elsewhere
If you're looking at building a group composed of everyone being on the same server, that would be relevant. But otherwise, M+ is the entire region working together, so you're not only pulling group members from your server's population.
PogChamp is that the real GLICKZ typing
🤔
If I were to have 2 treacherous covenants would I take 30% more damage below the threshold
Or just 15 cos it isn’t a flat number
No, still 15
Just double checking big ty friend
callous reprisal or bloodsport for m+?
Bloodsport
i stand corrected, also i apologize @last mason
ive been confusing too many things today
rankings with io score, fear on AD shieldbearers
how's bonded souls for prot?
It's pretty good, definitely one of the better generics
Was reading above, I heard that armory is tracking your best run as of 8.1 and raider.io is now pulling from that so having to run early in the week for lower keys is no longer a thing. Anyone know differently..?
still wouldn't take it over a prot specific one
@lusty grotto was just fucking tilted because i suck at prot rn even though i have good gear for it, and because i had so much fun tanking in legion
was extrapolating my tilt to other thigns
is it better to stack specific traits or get a variety
Ignoring the fact that you only want one DC, you want to stack traits if those traits are better.
e.g. for raids, you'd be better off with say 3 BfI instead of 2 BfI and 1 IF
thats just an example but you get the idea
@exotic hazel I can't find anything from raider.io stating that they changed where they pull the data from; that being said, I would think that "best run" stat on your character page probably pulls from the leaderboards anyway, so it likely wouldn't change whether a run shows up on raider.io or not.
so i normally tank m+ would it be the same?
yeah
alright thanks marok
@ocean acorn Which traits you choose to get/stack might change based on the content you do. For example a lot of people choose to stack Bastion of Might for M+, but the premise of stacking traits as Marok stated would still apply regardless.
What traits i should go with engi helm?
Diamond-Laced Refracting Prism, BIS or no? and why
If you're getting your DC from that, DC, Relational Normalization Gizmo, Ablative, Absorb-o-Tron.
Spark Capacitor is also good, but imo Gizmo is better.
Refracting Prism is BiS for survivability. No other trinkets really provide as much healing/DR as that trinket does.
Currently running 3x BoM 1 DC 1 CR
still only have a 1 trait for shoulders if wondering why only 5
spell reflect still bugged on jadefire?
in what way?
so its still working as intended then :^)?
its still working that way, yeah
rip ty :^(
but thats likely just how the spell is programmed. debuff falls off, deals damage to the (player) raid, regardless of where the debuff fell off from
so its def not worth spell reflecting it
its worth it if your raid is perfectly fine when it comes to healing
its just extra damage on boss
we're triple healing so i probably shouldnt
I don't usually ask these kinds of questions, but what would u guys use?
390
it's Season 1 390 btw
oh
scrap the 370 use the 390 roll a 415 :^)
yeh I can roll 415 next week for that slot
just BoM+DC versus garbo 390. was tougher call than usual
sorry BoM+IF*
i say s2 is probably better
@glass elk yes its bis
this any good?
Flexin on us
is a ring with 244 cirt, 206 mastery, and 77 leech - better than 206 crit, 244 haste (nothing else)
basically is mastery + 77 leech better than haste?
what ilevel are they?
cuz ilevel > all
if they are equal ilevel then haste is probly better
both the same, 395
auto self cauterizer or personal absorb-o-tron?
for prot
i use synaptic spark over relational normalization, in the 2nd tier or traits
but wouldnt mind input about that
Auto self cauterizer works on some bleeds
In boD
It works on grong iirc and conclave bleeds
haste would be better over the mastery ring choice, we do have a stat priority for those types of situations
how goods the mekkatorque trinket?
It’s strong
@steel mauve I know, but is the Leech not worth anything?
not tertiaries really
nice to have but secondaries are still better in our stat order
ok thanks
whats happening guys
I just had a new 370 helm drop. is it worth replacing my 390 that has 4 traits when this has 5
Depends show us
trying to get a snapshot now
@quiet crane better than a 400 rezans or 400+socket butcher block
My memory is extremely tragic I’ll need to see the numbers on each trink post and I’ll be glad to help to the best I can
@quiet crane
I’d take giga over rez
What’s the other helm @merry bane
and thats my current helm
Stay as you’re with the 390
Rastakan trinket is...bad? I dont see it on the iceyveins guide anywhere
that helm isnt worth it? then ill scrap it for resdium
Use the 390 helm
Woah hold on
Forgot S2 numbers are bunnies
Bumped
I’d still take the 390
But the 370 is extraordinary close in my opinion
I know it is
in term sof pure strength the 370 is lower
but gainign 2 primary azerites
I’d stay 390 personally but they’re extremely close
so ill use the 370 for my dps set
Meh it’s really not needed man but the voice is yours the values would be so close between those two helms with possibly the 370 winning only slightly due to bloodsport and being only roughly 40 strength diff
Me personally ally simply for Ilvl I’d stay the 390 o think the values would be so close it wouldn’t make a huge impact
dude that combo. BFI, BS, WoW and IV
Keep in mind that you get 20% extra stamina from the 370, and an additional trait. It's probably worth it tbh.
so many defensives
What’s your heart though
34
Then you would have unlocked the inner sorry didn’t take that into account
I’d say the 370 then
But the difference still wouldn’t be huge
Yeah if you had only the outer ring, it's not worth changing with that much difference
Kinda like how you wouldn't change a relic in the crucible if you didn't have tier 3 unlocked yet
In Legion
Welp, looks like im the new tank for my guild, the old tank wanted to dps again
Is that good or bad?
Lulz
i've debated hanging up my shield and picking up a second sword
How dare you
hey all - titan rediduum question. buying my first random 415 piece. if i'm only ever going to be doing mythic champions of light and pugging heroic and 15s for m+, are shoulders by best purchase? i have 3x 400 pieces from the first 3 bosses on heroic right now
405 Feather w/ socket, 400 Alc Stone, 400 Gigavolt Engine. Which two for M+? Also have a 385 Opulence trinket to swap in for defense.
@sick sentinel oy, how good is opulence trinket for tanking
HUUUUUUUGE
ticks faster with haste
does insane HPS
@oblique garnet has it and out-HPS' the healer
mate i want that trinket so much
Any opinions on my prior trinket question? lol
Refresh me what feather is?
the 1minute on use mastery trinket
Probably feather + alc. 2 on-use would be pretty bleh
Don't think the gigavolt would beat out feather?
Not in M+, since you're likely to consistently have a 1 min CD on Avatar and engine has 1.5 min CD
@true plover feather is HUGE damage
