Healing

#

They're good for that

oblique garnet
#

^

modern brook
#

destroyed; tbh

oblique garnet
#

They have high constant healing output with low cost

primal crypt
#

They're great for death runs

limpid wadi
#

Like every other heal spec in the game and bdks :p

primal crypt
#

Bdk lol

modern brook
#

^

oblique garnet
#

They are obviously not the greatest for m+

primal crypt
#

Bdk in 2019

#

๐Ÿค”

limpid wadi
#

Okay they are better in m+ than holy priests

narrow abyss
#

I actually kinda donโ€™t mind holy priests

modern brook
#

I dont mind any healer tbh

#

Pug Discs suck

primal crypt
#

If they're good lol

narrow abyss
#

I just donโ€™t like disc

modern brook
#

but one of my favorite healers is a disc

primal crypt
#

Any healer is good

narrow abyss
#

Itโ€™s such a crap shoot whether you get a zero or hero with disc

primal crypt
#

If they're good

heavy chasm
#

Disc is great outside of greivious

primal crypt
#

Disc on grievous

oblique garnet
#

Also i really like raid healing with shaman not so much m+

primal crypt
#

Yikes

modern brook
#

I dont think its arguable that Resto Druid or Mist weaver is BIS for keys

primal crypt
#

Hey

modern brook
#

But that doesnt make other options bad

narrow abyss
#

Yeah my healer just finished leveling a resto shaman for raid

primal crypt
#

Don't forget paladin

narrow abyss
#

Get to gear him up in 10s

oblique garnet
#

Reato is better than mw

narrow abyss
#

๐Ÿ˜ญ

oblique garnet
#

Paladins are good again too

heavy chasm
#

I dont run with my normal priest if he wont swap holy for greivious though

primal crypt
#

Paladin is top tier

sick sentinel
#

I have a phobia of disc priests since the first week of buffed Bursting

modern brook
#

Yeah

#

You def dont take disc on grevious

heavy chasm
#

I love playing my holy pally for keys

modern brook
#

the spec is just not equiped for it

primal crypt
#

Especially with bleeds the way they are now

limpid wadi
#

I like druids

heavy chasm
#

They just fucking pump

#

Virtue makes greivious moot

#

Even if your dps are derps

modern brook
#

I was levelinga holy paladin

narrow abyss
#

My healer hatesss his Druid now. Makes me sad

modern brook
#

then i realized iw as leveling it soley so i could DPS as it lol

primal crypt
#

Grievous doesn't exist for paladin

modern brook
#

healing makes me physically mad

limpid wadi
#

My healer ONLY plays holy priest :/

primal crypt
#

Because you see the mistakes of your group

#

As a healer

slow nimbus
#

Paladins can't group health though. Paladins in witch fight during grievous week in waycrest

#

Oh god

primal crypt
#

Preventable damage

modern brook
#

I'm in dungeons at like 60~ watching DKs try and tank without marrowrending

heavy chasm
#

I enjoy healing. But I cant not tank because no one else does

limpid wadi
#

^

primal crypt
#

@slow nimbus witches are a non issue for paladin

modern brook
#

Do u know how many FotM warrior rerolls i have to wisper saying "please press shield block"

heavy chasm
#

And i cant stand waiting 25 minutes for some rando tank

primal crypt
#

Prob one of the best healers for witches

narrow abyss
#

Dude are there a ton of baby prot warriors now

heavy chasm
#

Bop

#

Mmmm

#

Such good

primal crypt
#

Yeah, bb warrs everywhere

heavy chasm
#

What's gnettles?

sick sentinel
#

warriors that thinks IP > SB... ugh

primal crypt
#

Nettles you just need to be topped off

#

Which is one holy light

modern brook
#

cant u just bop nettles?

primal crypt
#

Or shock holy light

#

Or bop

heavy chasm
#

It depends on wo gets it

primal crypt
#

Or lay on hands

#

Either way nettles is no prob

modern brook
#

I like holy pal cause its utility fits ona healer

#

all those blessings ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

#

TRYNA BLESS UP FAM?

narrow abyss
#

I like rop way too much

primal crypt
#

Warrior with freedom

#

Boiiiii

#

Im fast

heavy chasm
#

I enjoy the "underdog" ones hpal and sham

#

Even in 8.0

#

Now their solid

oblique garnet
#

Hpala is not an underdog tho

heavy chasm
#

Just no interrupt

#

Otherwise their perfect

modern brook
#

Rsham sucks donkeys during quaking

primal crypt
#

Hpala has always been one of the top

modern brook
#

I will say that

heavy chasm
#

But they cant have it

#

Or you wouldn't bring anything else

primal crypt
#

Paladins have short stun and repentance though

#

Lot of undead stuff in dung

modern brook
#

paladins have a 0 dps cost full CP kidney shot

#

Short my ass

oblique garnet
#

Avenging crusader is the best cd in the game change my mind

primal crypt
#

Kek

heavy chasm
#

Uhh late

#

Please its ravager

primal crypt
#

Dude, my paladin bust out 30k the other day

heavy chasm
#

Em I rite

sick sentinel
#

monks are baes in m+

primal crypt
#

Everyone in the group thought she was trolling as ret

oblique garnet
#

Only acceptable monks in s2 are windwalkers

modern brook
#

Was she holy or prot yam?

primal crypt
#

Holy

modern brook
#

Cool finishing my leveling

#

Thats my dream tbh

#

shit on every DPS while not being in DPS spec

primal crypt
#

On shrine last boss with buff

#

She did 67% of the dmg

heavy chasm
#

Oh damn

modern brook
#

hahaha

#

nice :^)

primal crypt
#

Like, our bars on the meters were so small

modern brook
#

@oblique garnet @primal crypt have u guys done Freehold this week yet?

oblique garnet
#

Yes

primal crypt
#

Mind you people were pulling close to 30k

heavy chasm
#

My buddy was playing holy on shrine. Was like it's all good. Transitions after add dies. Dps didnt interior ducking dead

primal crypt
#

Not I

modern brook
#

Are you triple pulling those front packs?

sick sentinel
#

I remember holy pallies being busted for dps in Legion

oblique garnet
#

Nope

primal crypt
#

My group still skips

oblique garnet
#

Waste of time

modern brook
#

I wanted to try grabbing all 3 and lust cause we dont need it elsewhere

primal crypt
#

Enforcers are the worst

modern brook
#

got omega ruined

primal crypt
#

Low dmg uptime

oblique garnet
#

Its not efficient to do so this week

#

Any other week its easy

#

But this week kills the man

modern brook
#

is it necrotic or fort that kills it?

heavy chasm
#

I dont think I'll holy will ever be the same as legion. I rocked 50 crit for the guaranteed hsock crit

modern brook
#

cause i feel like its necrotic

oblique garnet
#

Necrotic and sanguine

primal crypt
#

Sang too

#

Fills the area

#

It's too small

modern brook
#

thats fair i guess

oblique garnet
#

Like the only way its efficient to kill those is to pull all 3 together

modern brook
#

I ruined an 11 key on that try

primal crypt
#

You could get thrown over the sang to an idiot on the other side

oblique garnet
#

Which you cant do this week

modern brook
#

we abandoned it and did it on a 10

#

it being not that pull and just chested the dungeon

#

usually I just stealth past them to first boss room

primal crypt
#

I find its just easier to skip the front

modern brook
#

But I wanted ez reaps

primal crypt
#

Yeah

#

I feel you

modern brook
#

nother side bar: with infested gone

#

do you guys always take a certain side? to spawn firs tboss

primal crypt
#

Depends on the week

oblique garnet
#

You get easy reapings if you skip the first packs by skipping all the adds after bridge

primal crypt
#

Like teeming

oblique garnet
#

Always upstairs

primal crypt
#

I dont mind the downstairs on some weeks

#

Especially tyrannical weeks

modern brook
#

I've been doing it based on Teemin %

#

specifically since until recently my actual key group was only like 3 people and we'd constnatly have a changing roster (read: pugs) so i had to make routes before each run lol

primal crypt
#

Yeah, the only difference in mdt is with rog, without rog

#

Everything else is meh

#

Without rog you just plow through everything

modern brook
#

I was running Guild 10s and i got stuck tanking TD 10

#

without a rogue; blacksmith; or scribe

narrow abyss
#

๐Ÿคฎ

oblique garnet
#

Reroll into bs

primal crypt
#

Or just make rog friends

modern brook
#

and we still only missed timer cause cannon man killed 3 allies

#

I am the rog friend yam lol

primal crypt
#

Gg

#

Lol

modern brook
#

We've been recruiting more; but something about the class has attracted people that dont mesh well so its been hard

#

You double rogue right?

oblique garnet
#

Yamo is cheesing with the rogues feelsbadman

#

Thats how he got to 1.8k๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”

heavy chasm
#

I gotta work on my rogue

#

I see so few of em

#

And the like two in my guild are already tied in wit other groups. Feels bad man

modern brook
#

rogues and warlocks man IDK they're the most parse senstive ppl i know

heavy chasm
#

Your not wrong

#

My raid team has 4 fucking locks too

#

So rip mechanics cuz mah parse

modern brook
#

how did you die to the room filling with fire -> i was finishing my cast :^)

heavy chasm
#

Ughh

#

That feel

modern brook
#

I think all triple DPS specs are super parse sensative but its so much easier to hide it with shimmer and my spec is a braindead joke

#

the latter being hunters, ofc

heavy chasm
#

I hate parse chasing/chasers. Atleast during prog

#

Like use your logic. You parse fucking zero if your dead

#

If you beat yourself week to week that all that matters

modern brook
#

What triggers me is when ppl make jokes about mechanics; oh just dodge the frog lol ezpzlmnsqzy lootpinata

#

and then we spend 3 hours to those people getting hit by the fucking frog

heavy chasm
#

Yes

#

This 100 percent

modern brook
#

ina 3 hour prog raid; I'd say maybe 4-5 wipes are directly my fault

heavy chasm
#

Dont drop the fire in melee on rastakhan. Melee dps drops it on my co tank

#

Blames ranged

modern brook
#

lol

heavy chasm
#

Waaat

modern brook
#

U ever do 30 pulls of grong?

#

Heroic.

heavy chasm
#

What

#

Hard no

modern brook
#

killing adds is hard

#

๐Ÿ™„

#

people werent kicking for the first like 10

#

that was a bad night

#

But we have it to thank for SRing grips

heavy chasm
#

We had a really rough one Tuesday

#

My co tank and I were doing not so great. But he was trying to d some weird cheese on mythic jadefire

#

And wouldn't just t swap

#

Like flat out just wouldn't, so j mean go with his wonky stuff or melt to two bosses ๐Ÿค—

narrow abyss
#

One of my takeaways for these kick heavy fights is itโ€™s obvious who M+ a lot and who donโ€™t

modern brook
#

Our guilds roster is filling out so we can start like actually enforce the whole if ur causing us to wipe every time please sit out until you want to play the game thing

#

which is super nice

heavy chasm
#

Definitely helps

#

I miss the days of raiding mentality being about the group tho

modern brook
#

I wont lie

heavy chasm
#

Like when we were figuring out conclave we 3tanked it

#

Just to trivialize the shit out of it

modern brook
#

I definitely live for moments where my cotank dies at ~15-20% and I'm just like

heavy chasm
#

But ofc that other guys parse will be ass

modern brook
#

nows my time

heavy chasm
#

Yeah I mean they feel fantastic

modern brook
#

LaStStAnD

#

we tried the 3 trank thing for conclave

#

IDK if the 3rd tank was super uncomfortable with the fight or what

#

but it did not work out

heavy chasm
#

How

modern brook
#

the taunt swaps were constantly all over the place

heavy chasm
#

Two of you sit on paku

#

That's it

modern brook
#

Oh I get it lothar

heavy chasm
#

Lop

#

You poor soul

modern brook
#

I dont like 3 tanking the fight anyways

heavy chasm
#

Like we had a boom druid go bear for one

modern brook
#

I'm dwarf in there; so i can cheese both paku and kimbul p ez

undone sun
#

what are these unnecessary code blocks

#

๐Ÿค”

modern brook
heavy chasm
#

We just lust kimbul

#

And the bleeds ez ps

modern brook
#

`` isnt code its format this is a code block dude

heavy chasm
#

Since we used to roll with a prot pal

modern brook
#

` is also a lot easier to type that this

heavy chasm
#

But now I'm rolling with a dk

undone sun
#

they're both considered codeblocks

modern brook

maybe in bad programmer land

undone sun

official discord

Ur butt uglier

limpid wadi

I cant get the prism to fucking drop for me

oblique garnet

primal crypt
#

oblique garnet
#

Hmm

modern brook
#

how do u not have a guild

primal crypt
#

Does shield of righteous work exactly like shield block?

undone sun
#

no

oblique garnet
#

Because i wanna raid as tank

primal crypt
#

That shit feels super weak compaired to our block

oblique garnet
#

Because it is

primal crypt
#

Lmao

#

Sad

undone sun
#

Slams enemies in front of you with your shield, causing [ 33% of Attack Power ] Holy damage, and increasing your Armor by [ 150% of Strength ] for 4.5 sec.

modern brook
#

SotR is a fat armor inc

undone sun
#

block is a chance for paladins

modern brook
#

Slams enemies in front of you with your shield

primal crypt
#

That's a yikes from me dog

modern brook
#

Look at these fucking wannabies

undone sun
#

it is aoe

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

oblique garnet
#

But yeah bullfango i cant get into raiding guilds since people rather keep a mediocre tank then take a chance with someone new

wooden radish

AE and doesn't require resources/target

undone sun

primal crypt
#

But you mitigation is also your heavy offense ๐Ÿค”

undone sun

Prot warrior or bust

modern brook

Be the 2nd person to disappoint this discord

primal crypt
#

My group actually asked if I wanted to play my dk for necrotic week

sand egret

I lol'd so hard

astral crystal

They still think dk is top

modern brook

DK on necrotic ๐Ÿ‘€

primal crypt
#

Didnt know about necro change

undone sun
#

lol

oblique garnet
#

Tbf

sand egret
#

I knew it.

oblique garnet
#

Alot of people dont know about necrotic change

modern brook
#

Is this the scaling dot thing?

#

or is there another change

oblique garnet
#

Its physical

modern brook
#

Oh

primal crypt
#

Physical vs magic

modern brook
#

yeah i knew that

primal crypt
#

Slipped by a lot of people

modern brook
#

Is the scaling dot new? I didnt know about that till yesterday

primal crypt
#

I dont think so

sick sentinel
#

late do what yamo did

modern brook
#

๐Ÿคท im fucking garbage then

sick sentinel
#

join as dps

primal crypt
#

KEK

#

And take over

sick sentinel
#

and get the tank role

#

eventualy

modern brook
#

@sick sentinel but then u have to play arms or fury ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

sick sentinel
#

undercover

primal crypt
#

Can only play fury

sick sentinel
#

fury is awesome dude

primal crypt
#

Arms in the same gear is 3-5k behind

narrow abyss
#

After playing dh I canโ€™t stand fury ๐Ÿ˜ข

modern brook
#

lol poor arms

primal crypt
#

At least my sims they were

narrow abyss
#

Ruined it for me

primal crypt
#

Huge disparity

sand egret
#

there's only one warrior dps spec

modern brook
#

DH ruins DPS for you in general puzzle

#

havoc is so fucking overloaded with shit

sand egret
#

not sure why you guys talking about the DH dps specs in here

primal crypt
oblique garnet
#

@sick sentinel i dont have logs as fury only as prot

sick sentinel
#

F

sand egret
#

fury warriors are just confused DHs going through a crisis

primal crypt
#

@oblique garnet use my logs

#

Say you used to play on NA

modern brook
#

LOL

#

the fucking strat

primal crypt
#

used to play fury on NA but went tank full time on EU

#

show both logs

#

Lel

oblique garnet
#

idk how people get 99 on jadefire

#

like what are you actually doing

sand egret
#

have you tried not being bad?

oblique garnet
#

yes

sand egret
#

Ah, well keep at it. One day you'll get it

#

You either 99s in all, or you trash.

oblique garnet
#

yup

#

literal garbage

sand egret
#

you'll never get invited to a +5 with that kinda cred

#

them pugs will eat you ALIVE

primal crypt
#

Is that mythic parses?

neon tangle
#

@oblique garnet I did progression thru heroic while super tired and got a couple blue parses

#

Rip my average

sand egret
#

@modern brook super late from yesterday, but I remembered that the tmog I was referring to was actually a Cata pvp one, the Cata Gladiator's one (for the only bdk tmog I use)

modern brook
#

HMm

neon tangle
#

I rock the starter gear

sand egret
#

yeah that one Bull

#

my brain just had to reboot so I finally remembered

oblique garnet
#

Time to push some keys

sand egret
#

wanna do my job so I can push instead/

#

you know you wanna

oblique garnet
#

What type of work is it?

sand egret
#

manage QA of a major title?

modern brook
#

blades job is to chill in discord

undone sun

sand egret

thyme's trying to steal my jorb

sand egret

hah well then shit, feel like HR shoulda told me that sometime in the past 5 years....

#

"who's this Thyme guy?"
"Oh yeah....btw....we're going to need you to return that stapler...."

fresh valley
#

i'm hoping to push my first 15 of the season tonight ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

oblique garnet
#

@sand egret Oh shit pogchamp i can qualify for greencard with a job like that

dusky lodge
#

Trying to learn how to parse prot logos any good resources or tips for starting? There good dtps or uptime benchmarks to look at or is there another metric I should look at sorry if I missed something obvious

rapid tide
#

Always felt like one of the easiest metrics to look at that is a good general indicator is Rage generated.

#

Compared to top logs with similar fight length basically.

sand egret
#

practical uptime on blocks is also good to check

rapid tide
#

Definitely

sand egret
#

or for like overlaps (LS + SB)

modern brook
#

^

rapid tide
#

Comparing ehrps to top logs can sometimes be valuable but variance is to be expected.

modern brook
#

Effective uptime on Block is the big killer for most ppl

rapid tide
#

Like you are not automatically a terrible prot for requiring 4k more hps compared to top logs.

modern brook
#

Maximum DS usage

#

Maximum Avatar usage

#

Overcapped Rage should be 0

#

uhhh

#

Reflects when relevant, i guess?

dusky lodge
#

Ty ty just dont want to judge off the wrong things

modern brook
#

I mostly check for blockuptime, SB+LS overlap; and overcapped rage

#

those are the I'm wiping the group because im playing my spec wrong mistakes

rapid tide
#

I defintely also check for the generated rage, so many people generating like half of what's possible in many cases.

#

And that is a loooot of cd uptime you are losing out on and IP uptime.

dusky lodge
#

Duly noted ty

modern brook
#

@primal crypt hows your raiding experience so far?

primal crypt
#

Mythic bosses hit pretty hard

#

Just like tyrannical

#

But ive only tanked mythic once and that was on Tuesday

#

Pretty fun as dps

#

So far so good as prot too

#

I really like BoD

modern brook
#

how far did Tuesday take you?

#

I also liek BoD

#

very engaging tank fights, on the whole

primal crypt
#

We got hard stuck on opulence lol

wary gyro
#

BoD is much more interesting to tank than uldir was

primal crypt
#

Killed him last week, but had raiders missing

#

Had to bring in the back up people for opulence

#

People couldnt get used to the mechanics fast enough

#

So opulence again tonight and hopefully conclave

modern brook
#

:^) good luck

primal crypt
#

We'll need it lol

#

Hopefully tonight, people get their heads out their butts

#

Our druid healer killed himself even on tuesday

#

Went bear form and accidentally taunted the boss

#

Got one shot

old zephyr
#

I don't do mythic yet but in HM we don't even bother tankswapping it, ahhh warriors

#

also avatar the adds feels so seet

primal crypt
#

Yeah, so far the only one ive worried about has been grong

#

Because ive never done the tank combo

narrow abyss
#

Working on that now. Not bad

primal crypt
#

And it's insanely fast

#

But we one shot it so

#

Guess I did something right

narrow abyss
#

My guild stinks with kicks

#

I actually like the fights from tank perspective

#

This tier itโ€™s fun

primal crypt
#

Id have to agree

#

They did a good job

modern brook
#

wait hang on

#

How do you accidently go bearform and taunt

primal crypt
#

@modern brook should have heard our raid leader ask the same thing, except it was in all caps

modern brook
#

I just feel like thats 2 distinct button presses over the course of 3 seconds

#

I keep my form buttons on modifiers so maybe thats why i think its weird

fresh valley
#

taunt and rebirth have the same icon?

modern brook
#

IDK if ur clicking rebirth in 2019 on mythic prog

#

๐Ÿ‘€

junior igloo
#

Option 1: Went bear form by accident, pressed a button that's wrath in caster form, but taunt in bear form.
Option 2: Went bear form on purpose, fat fingered taunt button

fresh valley
#

IDK if you're going bear form and taunting in 2019 mythic prog

modern brook
#

hahaha good point

primal crypt
#

Definitely bear on purpose fat finger

#

Had the gold on himself

#

So he was sitting in bear

#

Came back in and taunted himself to death

undone sun
#

๐Ÿ‘

modern brook
#

god tier

primal crypt
#

You could hear the sighs from a mile away

wary gyro
#

This is why when I'm not tanking things like taunt are on keybinds that I cant press accidentally

fresh valley
#

my druid action bars are so jacked up from just having everying done through vuhdo :/

#

and constantly swapping back and forther between pvp macro's and pve crap

#

and shapeshifts, and talent selections

#

oh and stealth action bars

#

so many action bars

#

what do you guys think of dratnos' routes?

primal crypt
#

They're ok

#

But it's become useless because I dont run the same comp

#

His is still built around bdk

#

Iirc

sick sentinel
#

I prefer doing my own routes

fresh valley
#

yeah. i use them as a baseline and modify for my group comp

primal crypt
#

Yup

#

Ive stopped using templates

sly plume
#

is the eternal alchemist stone worth it for prot?

primal crypt
#

yes

sick sentinel
#

It's good

inland mesa
#

Yamorino do you have youtube/vods of your routes, you make me jealous you have a real consistent team that runs D:

#

and hopefully we get mekkatorque tonight on mythic, got it to 18% in about a nights worth of pulls

primal crypt
#

I dont yet :(

covert latch
#

trying to build a team currently, but no one can settle on what they want to play ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

primal crypt
#

Maybe later this weekend?

#

We're planning out stuff for mdi next week

#

So it's a little hectic

#

I havent really streaned either

#

Soz

inland mesa
#

yeah, I have a team, and we're lucky to have schedules align to run like 3 keys a week, it's really disappointing

primal crypt
#

Yeah, we're not particularly amazing or anything

#

Just really consistent

#

Funny enough, they were all pugs

inland mesa
#

yeah this group could be good we just don't play enough together

primal crypt
#

And we just kind of fell in line with each other

inland mesa
#

we claimed sun/mon would be great, and we haven't run on both nights a single week so far lol

primal crypt
#

Yeah, that's way too late

#

At least in the week

#

Thats when we usually have sale runs

#

So after raid we run at least two

inland mesa
#

well we raid mostly tues-thurs

primal crypt
#

Then I have to sleep lol

inland mesa
#

ah we don't end until midnight so doing two is crazy late when I have work at 8

primal crypt
#

Yeah we raid tues/thurs until 10-11pm

#

Like last night

#

We were going to do 1 key

#

But accidently two chested it

#

Got a higher key and I got in my feelings and said lets run another

#

Ended up sleeping at 130...

inland mesa
#

lol, nice

#

but, did you chest it? and what lvl/key

primal crypt
#

2 chested the 17 tol dagor

#

Got a 19 temple, scuffed it on first boss because I got greedy

#

Chested the downgrade 18

#

And got the 19 temple back for tonight

#

I dont trust myself with those spell reflects, I jebait myself so hard

lusty grotto
#

lol

#

honestly i just use it when he turns to face someone else

#

cause Tofu said if he targets you, it doesn't work

#

but actually reflecting it is glorious

sick sentinel
#

If you reflect all strikes it's like 40%, right?

lusty grotto
#

wait what

#

calm down

sick sentinel
#

That's what somebody in guild chat said

lusty grotto
#

i mean rofl

sick sentinel
#

The risk is worth the reward in tyrr for sure

lusty grotto
#

it was hilarious when i first tested it, my heals bro went like "wtf how does he have like 30% less hp than the other"

sick sentinel
#

Not sure if worth in fort

primal crypt
#

Yeah. It's massive

#

But I definitely got one shot

#

Chasing after it

lusty grotto
#

always worth to reflect, hnnnnngg

#

so satisfying

sand egret
#

no risk no reward

lusty grotto
#

reminded me about ye olde TBC heroics

#

reflecting that one nuke that did massive dmg

stark apex
#

Anyone have a decent video to link for prot tanking ?

lusty grotto
#

i believe Griff's might still be relevant

#

slightly out of date but the basics should be the same

#

let me see if i have a link

sick sentinel
#

His video was really good tbh

#

Written guides are your best bet though

stark apex
#

Also any tips for kiting for grevious weeks? Thunderclaps 20% feels like nothing

sick sentinel
#

Trees, great frost mage, ring of peace, vortex

lusty grotto
#

@chilly brook @stark apex is requesting a link to your howtoplay video

sick sentinel
#

Typhoon

lusty grotto
#

shockwave -> leap

sick sentinel
#

Or intervene to friend

lusty grotto
#

slows on sanguine week yuck

#

bring your neighborhood friendly DH for another aoe stun

inland mesa
#

wait what, what are you reflecting on the first boss of sneks, the cyclone strike?

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

should be in the guide, i think i asked sense to put it up - but credit to Tofu and Guilford

inland mesa
#

my god, that may help my group that can't dodge it worth a damn, you just hit it and stand in front of where he's facing?

lusty grotto
#

uhhh that won't help your group

inland mesa
#

if it dies significantly faster

lusty grotto
#

well sure

#

you can't grab all the cyclones

#

at best 2 or 3

#

and its super risky

#

so i just do 1

#

if you get nuked by the other dude -> RIP you

#

so make sure the other guy is properly interrupted

inland mesa
#

ah true, but you can ranged interrupt that guy and reflect it

stark apex
#

Additionally do you guys play with combat text on? Hard to see when I ge a block otherwise

lusty grotto
#

no

#

i dont

sick sentinel
#

Well it should not be hard to see

lusty grotto
#

i only have damage done default text

sick sentinel
#

Because all attacks should be blocked

lusty grotto
#

really no reason to see what you block or when you get a bock

#

you use SB -> its 100% chance to block

#

same with last stand

sick sentinel
#

The only reason you are not blocking

stark apex
#

For example if I have last stand on with bolster it doesnโ€™t feel like Iโ€™m not blocking anything

sick sentinel
#

Is that you have SW up

stark apex
#

Sorry it feels like Iโ€™m not blocking anything with how much dmg Iโ€™m taking *

sick sentinel
#

Get a weak aura to track your block

#

It is literally the same as shield block

lusty grotto
#

so look it up in logs maybe

pseudo spindle
#

Hello guys and srry for my english, i don't achieve to found the best azerite trait to my protection warrior. About surviviabilty on raid and on mm+, i don't care about dps traits stacking that's i've found on bloodmallet ^^

lusty grotto
#

whats your shield ilvl anyway?

#

that's a big factor on blocking

stark apex
#

390

sick sentinel
#

@pseudo spindle icy veins

pseudo spindle
#

allright thx @sick sentinel

lusty grotto
#

390 shield eh, shrug

stark apex
#

Other question - is there some sort of name plate set up that shows who is aggrod to what

lusty grotto
#

shouldn't be taking that much dmg

#

i dont use any of that lol

#

but hopefully someone here could help you out on that one

#

i just clap hard, losing agro doesn't really happen ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

stark apex
#

May have felt awful cause I was running with a 385 new disc priest spamming shadowmend

#

But my +7 freehold felt terrible

lusty grotto
#

do you have logs?

stark apex
#

Even with only like 30% reduced healing

upper spoke
#

does iron fortress dmg stack?

silk mortar
#

Ye

lusty grotto
#

it does

upper spoke
#

ty

sand egret
#

Also remember that there is a mob type that fixates in FH

#

so, unless you got a Soothe/Stun, they'll look like you lost aggro on em

modern brook
#

that mob type is allied this week; also

#

for the record

#

not sure what we're talking about

sand egret
#

the blind rage doods?

modern brook
#

yeah

sand egret
#

good to know

#

I haven't ran FH this week

lusty grotto
#

๐Ÿข

modern brook
#

its eudora/jolly

#

so even more stuff for the tank to do :/

lusty grotto
#

i wish i could get a FH key

#

sand egret
#

modern brook
#

lusty grotto

sand egret
#

stark apex

lusty grotto

sand egret
#

lusty grotto
#

heh

oblique garnet
#

115-120 is 10 timewalking dungeons๐Ÿค”

lusty grotto
#

what ilvl is tw quest anyway

oblique garnet
#

Idk if the timewalking is bugged or what but for some reason the end of the dungeon reward is 500k

#

385

lusty grotto
#

yeah that's intended late

#

ugh 385 only

#

well i can run on alts

oblique garnet
#

Yeah but the rep grind

#

And no repair mount

lusty grotto
#

dont need rep grind for shrine :p

oblique garnet
#

But mah neck lvl

lusty grotto
#

do table missions LOL

sick sentinel
#

I timed my 16 wcm

#

Got 17 freehold

#

Life's good

modern brook
#

@oblique garnet will it be that high on sub 100 characters?

oblique garnet
#

Probably not

lusty grotto
#

hmmm prob not

modern brook
#

:^(

lusty grotto
#

but its still a lot of exp

modern brook
#

im just tryna power level my pally

lusty grotto
#

you do TW every time its up on alts

modern brook
#

I dont :^)

lusty grotto
#

and do invasions / legion invasions and island exps when theyre up

modern brook
#

๐Ÿ˜ฌ

lusty grotto
#

those are the fastest leveling routes

#

you can do invasion with WM off if you're ๐Ÿ”

#

:p

modern brook
#

ppl that turn WM off on horde side are ally trash, tbh

oblique garnet
#

Fh lvlinng boost takes 2 hours

lusty grotto
#

i agree bull, i agree

oblique garnet
#

Bullfango you wanna know how bad the sharding is in eu?

modern brook
#

Sharding is shit everywhere man

#

EU aint special

oblique garnet
#

No its completely fucked

sick sentinel
#

I turn wm off when doing keys

lusty grotto
#

bad in what way

oblique garnet
#

You cant be in great seal

lusty grotto
#

coughpussykaegecough

oblique garnet
#

With wm on

modern brook
#

KAege def a bitch fact

#

lol

sick sentinel
#

Because I can't summon anyone

lusty grotto
#

why not

modern brook
#

i assume cause allies camp it

lusty grotto
#

wtf lol

sick sentinel
#

Everyone else has it off

primal crypt
#

I have that shit off

lusty grotto
#

allies camp the great seal? what the

#

coughpussycough

primal crypt
#

Been had it off

#

Come out the portal

#

Dead

modern brook
#

yall crazy

#

im tryna get 10% u feel?

lusty grotto
#

i refuse to turn it off

primal crypt
#

Keep it

#

They get 30%

lusty grotto
#

i dont care if theres 200 alliance

primal crypt
#

I care because my time is valuable lol

sick sentinel
#

Alliance camps summoning stones

lusty grotto
#

i havent seen any alliance camps this week

primal crypt
#

It tilts me when I have to death run everywhere

oblique garnet
#

Yeah when i want to do a key i dont want to wait extra 30 minutes before starting on top of our healer slacking

primal crypt
#

^

sick sentinel
#

I turn it on for for all other content

#

But not mplus

lusty grotto
#

on monday, 15 allies came to docks, i wrecked 3 with my mage

#

and then a miracle, horde actually joined in

#

rip alliance

#

ye olde bait to guards works โœ…

oblique garnet
#

Horde usually joins in

#

After they load in game

sick sentinel
#

And death run to their corpse

#

Yeah they join

lusty grotto
#

when 8.1 came out, they didn't join for shit on invasions

oblique garnet
#

They did

lusty grotto
#

and then i took my break, came back and everyone had WM off

#

i was like wtf

#

but people have gradually started turning it back on

oblique garnet
#

Yeah when the allince received the absurd rewards the sharding got scuffed and theres no chance for the horde to fight back

#

Like methodjosh was doing a raid on boralus and gm tpd 5 of their healers into theramore which led to the horde dying

lusty grotto
#

ehh

#

๐Ÿคท

#

theramore

#

how did they die in theramore lol

oblique garnet
#

No

lusty grotto
#

oh

oblique garnet
#

The healers got tpd

lusty grotto
#

the rest of the group died

#

oops yeah misread that

sick sentinel
#

Is there a clip of that

lusty grotto
#

yeah that shouldn't happen

oblique garnet
#

I think there is

#

Not sure if it was before or after they got WF

sick sentinel
#

:C

lusty grotto
#

well there was the PTR port too

#

its not the same thing right?

restive pivot
#

Guys what are the healers we are best with synergy wise, in your own experience?

#

In other words whats your fav healer?

floral tinsel
#

Druid or monk

shut summit
#

Monk and druid

floral tinsel
#

Druid has nicer utility

restive pivot
#

That is my experience too. Thanks .

floral tinsel
#

Monk har slightly more spot heal

restive pivot
#

We are on the verge of deciding what healer to pick for our group. Since we lack cr i think we ll go with rdruid.

sick sentinel
#

Get engineers as well

#

For when healer dies

restive pivot
#

Yeah we have got 2 in the party.

#

Thanks for the tip.

sick sentinel
#

I personally prefer druids as well btw

#

Bark> cocoon imo and vortex+ typhoon or mass roots >RoP+aoe stun

restive pivot
#

Agreed

sick sentinel
#

Because you have shockwave and hopefully dh stun

restive pivot
#

My main was rdruid

sick sentinel
#

So monk stun is overkill

restive pivot
#

In s1

#

I loved the utility

#

With me rerolling tank though, we cant just push beyond 12-13

sick sentinel
#

Also cat weaving dps is huge some times

marble wave
#

No love for rshams -_-

sick sentinel
#

What ilvl is your shield

restive pivot
#

My first time tanking. Having issues still.

narrow abyss
#

Itโ€™s all route planning

restive pivot
#

400

narrow abyss
#

S2

sick sentinel
#

Azerite?

restive pivot
#

400x3

#

But the neck is 38

sick sentinel
#

This week hurts

#

But last week you could have done more

restive pivot
#

we were crushed last week.

narrow abyss
#

Really?

#

What keys

restive pivot
#

Maybe we are just bad.

#

Anything beyond 12-13

#

I remember having done +13 the start of season 2 with my rdruid.

#

At 389 ilvl

#

Now we are 400 average ilvl

#

We cant get past this 12-13 threshold

narrow abyss
#

This week kinda sucks. Next week will be good

restive pivot
#

I am 2 BoMโ€™s short.

#

Is that so big of a deal?

sick sentinel
#

I also run a single bom

narrow abyss
#

Itโ€™s a pretty decent offensive and defensive cooldown at same time but I donโ€™t think itโ€™s make or break

sick sentinel
#

Still timed +16 wcm today

narrow abyss
#

Whatโ€™s your biggest issue when u do these keys

sick sentinel
#

And ml

restive pivot
#

Reaping management.

#

I mean getting to the casterโ€™s.

#

Not managing the %s

narrow abyss
#

Route planning is super important this season

sick sentinel
#

That's solely your routes problem

#

If you exclude ml and shrine

narrow abyss
#

Iโ€™d add the %. Use MDT. And identify spots where you can intentionally trigger reaping at good spots

#

And have a good spot to LOS

#

To bring everything in

sick sentinel
#

The reaping is the easiest part of the dungeon

restive pivot
#

We did use mdt before one.

oblique garnet
#

still havent used mdt this seaon

restive pivot
#

Still depleted.

oblique garnet
#

i really should start doing it

restive pivot
#

we always pugged the healer

narrow abyss
#

Well last week was so healer dependent

restive pivot
#

This week i am looking for a vortex and mass root

#

When leap is on cd

#

Charging to rdps wont be enough

#

In mos tof the dungeons

narrow abyss
#

I mean really all u need is treants

restive pivot
#

At least for me

narrow abyss
#

Or rop I guess

#

If ur talking necrotic

restive pivot
#

Yes necro

oblique garnet
#

get a frost mage

restive pivot
#

We brainstormed today as 4 person, and we concluded that we have no idea why we cant go past 12-13

sick sentinel
#

The thing I use is prayers

restive pivot
#

What are the overall dps of your dhโ€™s and rogues and rdps

#

In 13-16 runs

oblique garnet
#

25-40k

#

depending on a dungeon

narrow abyss
#

Thatโ€™s so run specific

#

And how well itโ€™s smooth or pulled

#

But yeah

#

25-40

restive pivot
#

Overall is alright

#

I am lf a way out

#

I check warcraftlogs very frequently

#

But i check top tier players

#

Most of the time its not very useful for our group

sick sentinel
#

I swapped out my diamond for a goreblock this week

oblique garnet
#

it might be better

narrow abyss
#

Yeah I was debatjnfbthe same @sick sentinel

restive pivot
#

I am using jes in the 2nd slot

narrow abyss
#

Debating

primal crypt
#

Nice of you to have the choice

oblique garnet
#

but the initial shield from diamond helps on bosses alot

primal crypt
#

I wish I had a diamond

hushed cobalt
#

so poop, merektha's fang is on the gcd or something, it was fun while it lasted, for half a heroic dungeon

primal crypt
#

:(

sick sentinel
#

Running 400+s rezans and a 400+s gore block

oblique garnet
#

i have 400 rezans just sitting in the bags

restive pivot
#

I think i ll switch my howler for gore

narrow abyss
#

The party will be nice

#

Parry

#

๐Ÿ˜‘

restive pivot
#

We only ever use howler for dps too.

sick sentinel
#

I got my diamond from turning in the 4 dungeons quest back when

restive pivot
#

Since its 11-13 only i hve no survival issues

sick sentinel
#

Forgot lootspec in prot

oblique garnet
#

if youre struggling in 13-16 keys youre either wasting alot of time on routes or missing interrupts etc etc

sick sentinel
#

FeelsGoodMan

#

I get to 30% party when it procs

restive pivot
#

@oblique garnet our dpsโ€™ look like 17-30

#

And i do like 12-18

sick sentinel
#

Anything under 20 is bad

restive pivot
#

In any dungeon, right?

#

Even kr

sick sentinel
#

I do 20-24

#

With only 1 BoM

#

Even this week

narrow abyss
#

Do u pull super safe and slow?

sick sentinel
#

Also, if you have "no survival issues" it means you are not pulling enough

narrow abyss
#

Dps shouldnโ€™t be 17 in s2

sick sentinel
#

You need to thread the line

restive pivot
#

We generally pull 2 groups, very rarely 3

sick sentinel
#

Push your boundaries

#

If you're not almost dead, you are not pulling enough

mental scarab
#

Haha

#

And

primal crypt
#

99 stacks of necrotic

sick sentinel
#

If you are using all CDs, you are pulling too much

primal crypt
#

That's what you need to push

mental scarab
#

Go dark iron for removing debuffs๐Ÿ˜œ

sick sentinel
#

You shouldn't use SW with something else, like SB

#

If you are forced to, you are pulling too much

primal crypt
#

I pop everything together

#

At one time

#

Super defensive macro I call it

restive pivot
#

Thanks kaege everything is duly noted.

#

And others

#

Thank you fellows.

lusty grotto
#

@restive pivot you're aware that s2 increased hp pools, dmg and everything for the ilvl bump right?

#

a 13 in s1 is not a 13 in s2

restive pivot
#

Yeah yeah, i am not a newbie. Just new to the class.

#

And concept of tanking entirely.

lusty grotto
#

responding to this

#

but i misread

#

thought you meant season 1

supple path
#

First week of season 2 was aggressively easy, yeah.

lusty grotto
#

but the first affixes

#

were EZ mode

restive pivot
#

Probably that @supple path

#

Though i really feel like i can easily heal +15 today with my rdruid

lusty grotto
#

you can heal it

#

but can you kitty dot it?

restive pivot
#

I did 9 k in fh 13

#

Yesterday

mental scarab
#

Guys on M jadefire masters, when only the mage is left and in bird form. How many stacks do you take before swap?

lusty grotto
#

good good

restive pivot
#

I am forced to play the tank now though.

#

And i love prot w very much to be honest.

lusty grotto
#

being forced is not a good way to play

analog swift
#

@sick sentinel how big are your pulls bb? I canโ€™t seem to break 17/18. I think best I did was 18 on waycrest teeming two weeks ago

lusty grotto
#

if you like it then good ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

restive pivot
#

Almost as much as rdruid.

#

Only problem with tanking for me is i get stressed before the dungeon.

#

๐Ÿ˜

marble cipher
#

I used to have that, now I just say 'fuckit, leeeeeroooooooy'

lusty grotto
#

it's just a game

supple path
#

When you're first getting into tanking it's super stressful to have to know the routes, etc. But then later on it's pure second nature yeah.

lusty grotto
#

no need to get stressed

#

you fuck up, you try again

#

you're not racing for WF ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

supple path
#

If you have a group of friends you can do initial runs with on voice or something you'll have a better time.

marble cipher
#

Just remember that dps fucks up at least 10 times for every tank fuckup ๐Ÿ˜‰

supple path
#

The reason people roll DPS is that so no one yells at them when they fuck up.

marble cipher
#

I know, I also play dps.... And I often fuck up

lusty grotto
#

oh trust me i do yell at dps

#

ive had to 4 man M+ due to it
