AFAIK every tank can soak it
Think vengeance would need a bark? I’m well over 400k hp
@modern brook that guide didnt even has that ability
its called IRE OF THE DEEP
is not present in that spreedsheet
sigh one sec
@naive panther like I said all tanks can soak it
You would think that joke would get old
But it doesn’t
none of the top 25 parses on M Storm wall use SR on IRE OF THE DEEP
take that as you will
Super easy to find out on your own if you're willing to burn a pull
I mean are they soaking
@fresh dragon if it’s not in the spell reflect sheet then I’d assume it’s not reflectable
unsure if they're soloing it
MY assumption is it wont work
since its not targeted
@chilly brook if its not why are present like 10+ spells also not reflectable? just says some1 ha forgotten to add it in the sheet
@modern brook yes they are soloing the pools
🤷
The ones on the spreadsheet are typically the major ones that actually matter - and you’d try to spell reflect anyway.
Ire of the deep drops shit on the floor and I’m pretty sure we’ve never been able to reflect something like that
I'll sum this up
and if u can solo soak it all dps can focus dps
We're not sure; logs of the best people arent using it; most similar abilities are not
I understand. But we’ve never been able to reflect something like that before to my knowledge
IF you want to test it on your own go wild its not hard
as tank is a very important mechanic
Otherwise asusme its not
i was aksing coz my RL asked me to switch back to my war prot saying it can be SR
@modern brook 12:52pm est (literally right after saying "ill get a shield eventually")
Grats cuddles
Grats
I wish more RL would actually bother to learn how a class works before they start telling their raiders what to do
ezshield
is crit/mast the best dps stats for prot?
haste crit
@fresh dragon you can’t SR ground target AoEs unless you’re just trying to reduce the damage done
^^
ok
It has to be a single target ability
I ran a 355 for most of Uldir
@distant crystal no, but the shield is a high ilvl which is king in shield terms
upgraded to a 375 the week before 8.1
i have 12% haste 😦
got a 420 on first M CoL kill
And even then it’s questionable on if it’s reflectable or not
Is that with or w/o ITF stacks cuddles
@sand egret was just wondering cause i got a 415 crit/mast ring on my box :p
@opal peak luckily ITF puts haste into comfortable levels whether you stack it or not 😃
that's a pretty solid ring id say
I think im at like 42% haste with 5itf
and was thinking since mast gives AP and crit's always good :p
it's a shield @sand egret monkaS
Haste gives: more GCD's = More SS procs = More Rage Gen = More Rage spent = More Avatar casts
More booty claps
also more aa's
im only at 29% with 5 stack
@fresh dragon was your RL expecting you to be able to use SR and negate the damage or just use it and reduce the damage dealt to you?
there was a small time i was at like 35% and it felt so much better
SR and Negate
Basically haste gives more everything
^
RL probably saw a warrior reflecting cyclone strike and thought it was magic
but i said that it cannot be SR and negate so i can solo tank it with my monk too
And this is why RLs need to not tell tanks what they should or shouldn’t be doing
We dont have a priority past more but we like haste more than the other stats if given the choice because its applicable in every situation
Thats a prot discord secret waat
stfu about it
😠
Yeah, tried it last night. Not sure if I did it correctly
Did u die?
i'm like yeah yeah i will
My RL tried tanking for a week he hasn't told me how to tank since
No lol but it was an 10 for a carry
Nice reflect then dude
It still goes past you visually then?
so, i saw in a twitch clip where it visually reflected, but for me it never has
The things RLs expect of their players make me laugh
idk if i gotta square up better and get closer to the boss for that or what, but it def trucks the boss and i take no dmg when i do it right
Its ~2mil damage w/o even a global
Fuck, no logs. My potato can’t handle logs and other things all the time.
At a 10? Holy fuck
Then I must of reflected
if it's not targetted on you, jump in the way and hit it
you'll hear the little noise
Yeah - that’s what I did
Don’t remember the noise. I didn’t die and was at like half health. But that could be because the Druid was cat weaving at the time
only if u have SR and werent the target, you dont move
is bringing 2 DHs and a rogue a meme?
its rude to your healer
I mean you’ll destroy the key timer
it's a tos 18
seems like you'd want a mistweaver then
all that phys with no debuff
Is it Outlaw rogue?
yes
yeah you're def in meme territory
I thought outlaw had nasty trash DPS?
So do the 2 DH's and the tank
double darkness though
I was upset with my dps in UR in a pug interrupting the casts on the first boss
we have a rogue that's refused to play anything but outlaw since launch
except on Zul cheese he played sub
now is his time to shine
Even when I called out “I have next two casts”
What’s outlaws single target like rn?
ok
Maybe I should level my rogue
Lol
but i wish you the best
I didn’t do a m+ last week 😑
@chilly brook my outlaw is 403 w/ 400 mainhand, and he does ~12k->18k depending on rolls
bursting is over 🇺🇸
I got sucked into r6
My azerites are all 385 also tohugh
I was about to say that sounds like last tier DPS
I'm looking forward to my inevitable kr key since that's what I have every teeming fort week
Only 30k
"hold dps" eyebeams
My 380 hunter does more in 4 man pulls
I need to time KR this week, I tried last week 7ish times and no group for the life of me could do it in time even with skips...44 seconds off was the closest D:
outlaw AoE is nutty, outlaw ST is so dependent on rolls
KR tyr is hard cause of 3rd boss tbh
My 382 prot warrior does more in a 4 man pull 😜
1920 io can't time a 15/16 KR is driving me bonkers
❤️
yeah....I think the 3rd boss took like 5 or 6 minutes it was stupid, with lust on axe chick
The bridge is awful on teeming fort week for kr unless they nerfed it when I wasnt looking
how does the Servant Splitter stack up comparatively speaking with no secondary stats?
poorly
Don’t go for it if you can help it
Servant splitter isnt even good on Frost DK to my knowledge
yeah came out of m+ chest today rip
But ilvl>secondaries
word
Is it bad that I really liked frost DK last xpac?
take the offensive cd's off gcd and it wouldn't be so terrible to play
^
That’s for everyone
also true
Oh no
I haven’t touched frost since the gcd change
Is offesnives off gcd the new Prot Utility discussion
Our offensives are also defensives.... well maybe I should say our defensives are also offensives and so get lumped into that category
No one should have to suffer through the pain of waiting a gcd after using either avatar or Demoralizing Shout
5th times a charm on getting a 415 shield right? D:
GLchew
Gl gl
Gl
Especially on skittish griff
I saved a roll for mythic blockade last week and then we mongo'd mekka rekill and took all night >.>
oof
mine run in and eye beam and are like, why did I get aggro....as I'm los'ing a caster around a corner
E Y E B E A M
would a second OP be the better route over shimmering haven?
I like haven
im blind
It’s a nice gold puddle
i go 2 OP
evrything is fucking gold in this exp
its a gold and blue puddle
But it’s a puddle
my old piece had shimmering haven
just like the azerite pools around the world
rekt
"it" got you killed....
Never had a problem with puddles getting me killed
not you standing in the wrong spot?
You can still see the cone
nope
Doing TD 17 last night. Kill last boss, go to get last two wardens - they die, we complete the dungeon. I see the cannon turn to point at me.... fires.... DH falls over dead
damn buff puddles recklessly killing people these days
was deff shimmering haven that did it
Feels good man
Gotta watch out for those vicious one shots that buffs sometimes hand out when they bug out @modern brook
Battle Shout is famous for that 😉
blizz wont even acknowledge the problem
See I'm used to the ground being obscured because I play pally and consecrate is basically shimmering haven
Hey, I’m all about killing my group / raiders as long as it doesn’t hinder us. They are welcome to try and kill me too. But they have to be on the ball
Lmao
I may have a hunter alt specifically to fuck with people with misdirect
Is your tricks macro’d to party leader?
usually thats how folks do it since tanks leader to mark and timers and all that
at least my group does
I just have stuff like that macro’d to a focus
I have mine as a mouseover/focus
It's nice for raids and trolling
Especially for trolling
Trolling might be the main reason I use it
buff locks
Buff vengeance
Buff me?
Reverse their sacrifices because clearly they sacrificed too much when it comes to survivability
I dont have tricks macro because my tank often changes
but my party frames put RL right above mine
so i just default there when i go totricks
I've always tanked the adds cause my co-tank doesn't know what kiting means - how do I reset stacks on Champion?
M or H?
H.
M seems easy enough.
In heroic, assuming you actually need to drop stacks, you want to SR the stack before seal change then heroic leap away during it
You can probably do that in reverse order
Oh I can power through them?
Sweet.
Depending on IlvL and kill times you can probably just hammer through it if you're zerging it
I'm 405.
Guild is garbo though usually 2-3 add phases.
You're going to want to drop stacks lol
I thin most zerg strats dont last much past the 2nd wave of adds spawning in
Wait what 2-3 add phases on heroic?
Low dps
I'm usually top 6 DPS.
It's not pretty but its a Friends & Family guild so it is what it is
But yeah, either three tank it to make it a joke or you’ll have to do a quick swap
God i hate 3 tanking
I'll do a quick swap. Just leap & SR during phase change
In some cases it’s nice lol. In general I agree though
its easier on timing but you'll stack the boss during add phase between the reset and the next application
I feel like I'll lose something very important as a Man if I have to 3 tank Champions on HC
We do three tanking on H coven after our first kill. I just sit on paku and we kill him last
I turn into a dwarf for that fight
If it's really dirty, any given DPS with a taunt can hold the boss for 5s without any difficulty.
So I can solo tank both paku and Kimbull
everyone thinks im a god tank because of that
Oh we 2 tank Conclave and kill Paku last.
I sit Paku for the entire fight. It's my favorite fight in the game
im just that good 💪
Our monk gets destroyed if he’s on paku for anywhere near as long as I am
I can solo Paku cant solo kimbul because I become a dranei
I get a DH to taunt after i use LS
Dps comes and taunts off to take one hit and then I’m back to seeing how high I can go.
#TaurenRepresent
Just be an engineer and solo Kimbul forever 😏
Tauren master race
It caps at 40
On heroic it caps at 40 I dont know if its uncapped on mythic
Oh, now I’m sad
In HC and aNM
I had goals in mind.
I was bored and did Normal conclave just to see if I could take Paku through all of it
If it weren’t for the possibility of triple bite on grong I’d try and solo tank him
Vengeance needs more CDs Christ it does die when looked at wrong. My warrior just dinged with random trash was more tanks than my vengeance DH.
Also make half of its talents baseline.
Yes. I am late.
But I love VDH
VDH is a shit spec
Paku doesnt even hit that hard on heroic
designed as an after thought to everoyne wants to be illidan
its the culmination of every tanks weakness
Prot warriors dont have a weakness though
bleeds say hi
Dwarf Prot Warriors don't have a weakness though
I don't recognize the name so no
or is it better to take 1 moment of glory to buff rally, and impassive visage
but 5k heal every 6 secs seems pretty low no?
WHO DOUBTED ME
whereas rallying cry can be useful for whole group
310 crit+vers or 300 haste+mastery+socket boots?
Ilvl?
Impassive visage and Resounding protection is really strong, I'd take those over Moment of Glory for m+
Whatever gives the most overall stats
The higher ilvl one probably, armor pieces like that rarely justify dropping more than 5 ilvls for a socket
ilvl
Okay, thanks, so just going for overall +more stats
63 Haste is better than 63 Versa
But 64 Versa is better than 63 Haste
@sick sentinel doubted u for what
stamina STr and armor gain alone will always outweigh a socket
not...actually true always Jettom, but it's more that the higher ilvl one also has more armor, sta. etc
(I'd take 63 haste over 64 vers in a heartbeat)
Yeah but..
they told that double DH+ rogue was a meme
All else equal sure
But, it isn’t. The only thing I ever question is jewelry - perfectly itemized versus like a 5 Ilvl difference
Yeah jewelry sockets are frequently worth 10 ilvls
i mean i dont really see anything wrong with double dh rogue in temple, maybe some dungeons
but
@exotic spoke Your itemization is Ilvl
I meant with socket sorry bullfango
I had a decision on a 10 with a socket and mathed it out as almost a complete wash, yeah.
And the defensive value is lessened also, since no armor
^
Yup
10 is the absolute max im like yeah ok on
best traits protection warrior for m+?
Warrior tanks have a great weakness: can’t tell people to shut up at range or pull them around.
Oh god how I miss that. Sigils alone make Vdh fun. Too bad, as said that they are as said every weakness put together
BoM x3, DCx1, remaining 2 have some variations
It’s in the guide cappers but censures has it
Damn dude
suffice to say DC >ilvl
You’re right. DC is king - go capitals!
Rip Censuras
yall need to roll better on these 415s
Goddamn holy paladin I ran with randomed a helmet and got their glimmer + light of dawn combo item - one of like...two in the whole game. Stung.
@lime mantle that’s only a weakness if your group is so brain dead they can’t stand still around a corner for 3 seconds
I’m debating saving up TR for specific pieces now that I have three 415s with 3 BoM, 1 DC, 1 BfI, 1 IF
We've done the same content and they have BiS 415 azerite x3 now and I'm actively hating my own gear, hah.
I know u only recently resubbed griff; but youknow what game ur playing right?
My group has a fetish for using all of their CDs and biking shit I haven’t even gotten to thunderclap once.
And pugs
"xD thats what we get for taking warrior tank" - the people, circa 2018, 8.0
¯_(ツ)_/¯
That’s why I don’t tank in pugs any more
Not people I’d want in my group to begin with
You get like what...5.5 random shots per each specific item if you're scrapping the failures? By the math odds, I think it may NEVER be worth buying a specific piece.
Granted it prevents bad luck scenarios
for some classes sure
But I literally only need like one piece. Can’t remember exactly which one.
I mean even if going for one specific item
Already have 3 BoM, 1dc, 1if, 1bfi
given how small the item pool is
It may actually be still worth randoming, would need to check the math to be sure though
I’d have to check too. But if it’s like a 30% chance of getting screwed I’d just buy the specific
How’s Ret rn in m+?
Big on reaps 🤷 idk
I mean - what else am I going to spend it on if I only do prot?
Cuz tbh I feel like I’d enjoy doing m+ a lot more if I played a DPS that could actually support the group
@supple path don't forget you can sell back your bad pieces to the scrapper
Play prot then griff :p
and recover 300-something az
<-- You get like what...5.5 random shots per each specific item if you're scrapping the failures?
I think it's...415? I honestly should have known these numbers before making points about math hah.
365
Nah I mean like Druid with resto affinity has the capability to stop a wipe kind of thing in heavy group damage @exotic spoke
(5/6)^5 then for odds of not getting it - assuming there is one specific piece and 6 options
I think so
Don’t get me wrong prot is hella fun but I don’t particularly enjoy m+ tanking
Oh I know
roughly a 60% chance of getting the one you're looking for
1-(5/6)^5
=.59 and change
Yeah.
I’m just explaining my thoughts I guess for no reason other than being bored
So 1725 - 365 = 1360 per shot, so yeah, 5.25 random shots on average per each selected one
That’s what I got. So if I’m looking for a single piece and that’s all I care about - might as well save up. 40% for failure is pretty high
So...on AVERAGE it will cost you less to get it via random, but a lot of bad luck scenarios
rather 59% chance of getting the specific peice you're looking for before you're over paying
bbl gotta work
I mean, said holy paladin friend had the same question today...then got the item on the first random. So can go either way.
The real thing is that mechanically, I think it may just be impossible to resist gambling for 6 weeks.
also means that if you can do a 12 each week after scrapping you get a new az piece every other week
not including if you get 415's to scrap from the raid, etc
Oh I can resist the chance of gambling
I’d likely end up passing the pieces from raid to other plate wearers
I was explaining to my guildleader why passing other people your azerite items just encourages weak moral character.
It didn't get a lot of ground.
Rofl
I'm tanking myth champs and I just reset my stacks like 3x. I'm not sure how I did it. I waited for a cast and then spell reflected - did I just get lucky? or is there a strat there
so i have a 400 crit/haste ring and just got a 420 vers/mastery ring. 420 better? coudlnt find anything in the guides
it is better yes
lol
wasnt sure if haste was THAT much better or not
@frozen ember you can reset stacks at will, just have to be sure sacred stacks are at 5 secs or less before you reflect.
Good to know
@frozen ember on mythic they do a 9 second cast or whatever that if you pair a spell reflect with will drop your stacks.
ohhhh
More stats>specific stats
Ieatpuppies has the more correct answer
thanks guys
SO let me ask about azerite then too cause I have 3 400 pieces but none of them have deafening crash, but i have a 385 shoulders that have deafening crash. do I still take the higher azerite piece?
No. Take Deafening Crash
dropping 15 ilvls for 1 DC is worth
It USED to be worth 45 or something, but post-nerf is still worth 15
Lame.
1551 haste without dropping ilvl of course. Still don’t have haste on every piece. Crazy how high it can get.
Anyone running Siphoning?
Only the top ranked players with a specific strat for pulling are
Kk
Or just memeing to try to get the sheep to follow
That's what I was wondering.
For 99.9% of the player base quick nav will be better
M+ bros are huge memers
When you only need to convince 4 other people that you're hilarious instead of a whole guild, it's dangerous.
Wdym
When there were less prot warriors running keys.
Was easier to be ranked higer
higher*
I meant the making shit up part
Running Siphoning for the memes
Oh but I mean m+ bros do meme a ton
Its true.
And people like boost for example I wouldn’t exactly follow everything he does
I only care about warriors on Tich.
Siphoning I only really see being useful on extremely large pulls seeing as it’s only 100 leech
And that being said I don’t think it’s going to do much
Dudes running siphoning are probably in this channel laughing their asses off
I have a Ret buddy but hes bad
ret is fine
I’d play a ranged class as a m+ alt but I can’t stand ranged DPS
I ran a few keys with 1 last week (had to since every1 else in my group had shrine)
but nice for bursting bc heals
Where exactly is warrior on the tier list? I’m a raider boi but becoming a m+ boi because I don’t want to make a commitment to a raid team
basically
imo if u need or want extra aoe healz for the group it's good... otherwise u could prob bring a dps that's just as much dmg but brings other things
I agree with deattu
and deattu's list is Rogue > DH > WW > Ret > Warrior > the rest
melee list
oh
not general dps list
You also have the 5% boost and the incap
ah ok, wasn't sure what ww go to was so didnt know if they took rop - havent run with a ww in awhile
they absolutely blast in damage as well
What percentage of Ret dmg is magic vs. physical?
Your main spender is holy damage
Right. So you want a DH with the Ret.
i mean u can do rogue ret
Question for the collective: would a 410 ilvl Servant Splitter (1h Axe with bleed effect) be better than a 400 ilvl haste/versatility 1h ?
I’d like to do something more supporty as a m+ alt but that really leaves me with Druid or Ret and I’m not exactly a fan of ranged much less boomkin
@broken gale the answer is yes
feral 😏
Rouge, WW, Hunter
I can’t be asked to go from 110-120 again
I can’t even finish my monk an it’s 118
I have warrior, DH, DK, pally and Druid at 120
Ele shaman?
As much as I’m a fan of unholy I don’t think it fits what I’m wanting lol
imo i'd go dh out of those if ur willing to go with any of them
if u dont want to play boomy
dk is a meme
This game is a meme 🙃
tru
but yeah ret isn't bad so the right answer is play whichever out of those u find most fun
but the better option is prob dh/boomy
I just like the idea of doing damage, being able to clutch a wipe by throwing out utility like BoP/spot heals etc.
fair, i mean sounds like u want to do ret but are worried about gimping group lol just go for it
As long as the DPS is relatively ok I’m chill with it
i didnt like ret last week
oh it's through the roof bruh
I’m not looking to top the charts
their burst is nutso
which is quite hilarious when ya do packs + reaping pulls
I’m looking to play a class that I’d find enjoyable and be able to offer something to the group besides damage
i regretted not being on my war
Ret has great damage and some pretty solid utility
and everything just gets deelted
Ret has always been about its wings
i think ours did like 350k on a pull
Hey guys, just a quick newbie question. Should i go for haste/mastery or haste/versa?
Every two minutes they go mongo. Then they hold.their dicks the other 1.5 heh
mobs went poof
i mean it's good with planning other CDs
like group can blow up other mobs and let ret handle the ones they have CDs for
and not gonna lie, I don't see too many good ones but I was talking with my buddy on Disc while tanking it wondering if this ret was going to be another Jesus (named after the one Ret from Rag who changed my world) and sure enough dude is BoP'ing me like a champ
@violet smelt look up our icy-veins guide in #268491842637660160 or in the pins
ilvl > haste > vers = mastery > crit
straight up was like "DID THIS DUDE JUST BOP ME?"
So what I’m seeing is that when I get back to my dorm in like 45 minutes I’m going to be on my Paladin getting gear lmao
Thank you
yeah griff, if it wasn't hte fact that Ret was a paladin spec...I'd totally play Ret
lol
like if Ret had the SAME kit but was Unholy themed
i'd be in that shit
I wouldn't even be mad if the specs were identical
I want a sick ass war-hammer
i push my warrior to it's limits instead of my monk
That’s the one thing Ret has been missing is a dope ass war-hammer like all the Paladins have in concept art
Actually I lied
Holy got it
Ret didn’t
Kek
might be a stupid question but should i use a 385 prism over a 400 sporepods? i know sporepods isnt very good
Yeah, they got Ashbringer; Holy got the huge warhammer artifact XD
like 95% of my keys on my warrior were with alts since he's my alt so it wasnt always gr8 - but now ima swap him into main group 😌
there's always transmog. Sporepods is a whole lot of meh vs Prism which is consistent something
hopefully gonna roll a 400 one tonight in raid, but ty for the answer 😃
@sand egret yea but afaik you can’t mog the holy hammer if you’re Ret
You can't
oh naw, but you can get 2handed maces at least
But none of them look good
well that's a diff story
😑
i'm a 2handed sword person myself
but oh man I just looked and these affixes are about as free as last weeks
I want a realistic looking sword for some reason
U right tho
U can buy a realistic sword IRL why would u want one in a fantasy game
there's a few more simplistic models around for 2handers
quaking + stuff is
Realistic doesn’t mean boring 😉
its alot of extra damage on the group
I don’t like quaking. But last time it was quaking and bursting so idk
yeah but it's predictable damage nontheless
Yes
quaking + bursting = bad ^ bad
🤗
quaking by itself is pretty benign
but I agree it's a silent killer when compounded with other affixes
when every1 runs the same way 😃
is this not a good push week? I didn't think it was that bad, next week doesn't overly scare me either
need to try to round out all 18s and finally time a GD KR
maybe swap murky/footbomb based on dungeon?
we failed 7 times last week D:
problem with KR is bosses are rough
and trash is rough
so other affixes matter
teeming is a bad 1 combined with fort
Just use footbomb.
footbomb and seal always imo
we have all the aoe in the world with unholy dk, DH, elem shaman, me
so teeming doesn't hurt as much
just got footbomb, but murky and chunk of crit=parry for dungeons that punch harder than normal
i mean the first half of the dungeon is fine, the second half suck
yeah debating on brute force and pots whole time, or 2nd invis skip reaping port up after
i mean unless u have an obscene amount of haste and very lot crit, i'd go seal/footbomb
but even then
There's no benefit to dropping ilevel and haste to get parry of all things. You're sacrificing our best secondary (not to mention 10 ilevel of total stats) for a very small amount of an RNG defensive stat.
footbomb it is then! unless its key smash time then maybe murky
.
🤔
But...like...sigh...never mind
you'll still do more with footbomb for key smash time
more haste means more buttons
o mean, like low 4-7key ranges for others alts and whatnot
at all? hmm
and i think i bonus'd the murky
More stats is always better. It's not dependent on key level
Having haste on the higher one is just a nail in the coffin
but i rolled and got something, currently rng-emotionally invested
you smash all the things faster instea dof smashing all the things and sometimes crit'ing
mannnnn i was all like, yay ring from coin and now im sadpanda
I just got another 410 shield from the weekly chest
you're not invited to my birthday party
For reference, I got a 410 shield last week
I hate you
Well, I am annoyed, because this shield is worse
I got a 405 WF from a ML this weekend, inching up
Mine is 380 😅
oof, I got like 6 400 shields this push week
you gambling for 415s?
Don't all the shoulders have DC
Yes
I think it's 50% of shoulders?
well stats are stats, and coins are just drifting in the wind
yes, DC is only 15ish ilvls anymore, so if you're moving 30 even if it doesn't have you win
Are islands still a pain in the ass?
I thought DC was worth 30-45 ilvls
Would you guys take Overwhelming Power or Crystalline Carapace?
it only extends 3 times now instead of as many as you can fit in
I'd choose OP
Yee
I think that's what I'm wearing
DC>BoM anyways
debating on waiting to buy specific pieces or gambling haha
do we prioritize haste over off stats on rings or just equip whatever is best?
Ilvl
If I can get Mythic Mekka shoulders then I just need helm with bom and potentially 3 DC meme
so I may just buy specific
There’s a stat priority in the guides @wicked ginkgo but only applies if same ilvl
don't all the vendor shoulders have the outer traits you would want?
so it's not much of a gamble to vendor shoulders
Guys I have something to say
4 of the 6 shoulders from vendor have DC either in outer ring or 2nd ring
vers and mastery, cuddles
A turtle made it to the water, that is all
Did you hear about the new Tortollan quest Griff?
i got crit/mastery - wanted to see if same
No lmao
You get to be one of the crabs and slaughter the turtles
Pog
Really?
Can someone help me understand why Merektha's Fang trinket sims so much higher on prot paladin vs other tanks like warrior?
Yep
The one I have right now is crit and haste
😦
That’d be pog af
i had 385 crit haste
8.1 "a turtle made it to the water" 8.15 "a turtle died in the water"
Now I wonder if I should pick azerite veins or overwhelming power
icy veins put azerite veins as superior
I'm pretty sure the azerite trait priority on IV is for purely survival
would you actually stack DC for dmg and not BoM? im confused Griff
isn't that good?
thinking m+
No
if threat isn't an issue, and your dps is decent, survivability > all right?
I am usually more like...do I survive? Okay, then DPPPSSSSSS
U stack bom not DC because bom givees more damage
i thought DC dmg wise was useless to stack
DC only gains it's benefit once, excluding the damage increase to TC
it's not "useless" just not a lot of extra dmg
so if i have the option to swap out a defensive trait for a 2nd DC it would be worth it in dungeons..?
Nope
Keep the defense
One DC is all u need
The extra DC is not worth such little damage increase
i have been having aggro issues on shittish when avatar is on cd and the outlul rogue i play with doesnt have tricks on pull, so i was wondering if the dmg was actually relevant at all
when he opens up with 80k on 3 targets 1 clap isnt enough
i'd say that's on him
No that's just a skittish problem
"but im tricksing on cooldown" ./crying
Sounds like the dps should watch their threat - OR make sure they have defensives up when they will rip Aggro like that
More damage won't save him from being an idiot
Dps tend to forget skittish is very anti dps
So if he wants to lerooy his way up the meters he can do so
Truth
it's the worst when you mark a skull yet they focus something else -_-
currently running 1DC, 2 IF though i can swap to 3x DC
just trying to figure if it's actually a decent increase in dmg or not
it's like hello, i put a skull up there for a reason!
That's actually a good set up for dungeons
my 3 other traits are bonded souls and 2x BoM
also ur rogue should only need to tricks u when u dont have avatar
"need"
or wait like 2 seconds more b4 dpsing
And yeah dps not focusing a target is like pvpers not killing the healer in a bg
^told him that, "wait 2 claps then u can go" but we depleted 4 keys straight cause of that
Ur gonna get it and ur going to want to shot someone
so you guys recommend just staying 1DC 2xIF?
Yes
only threat issues that were no bueno i had this past week was running with our ret buddy with the skittish
skittish is over
other than that i never had a prob *on brew
are you EU? that's one more day
and yes @zinc vessel stay
Skittish is basically a test for a tank
I'll go out in a limb and say the 395 is better on the basis of haste?
youd be wrong
400
Wait why
400
isn't haste suepr powerful?
400 ilvl with socket
Ilvl
More stats is better than some stats
on the topic of retribution paladin
I had a pug suggest one of his friends to me for a group
We do not operate at all like most classes
with he's a retard lol
and after watching him play IDK if he meant like class or actually
Haste is barely our best stat. Our secondaries are very close together, thus more total stats is better than less, but specific, stats.
cause he was bad :^(
Lol
Do y’all still tend to pull pretty fat teeming week?
Yes and no
Yarp
Yes because u should
generally yeah
as fast as we can take it
Quaking seems kinda annoying with large pulls
But mindful of damage
No because some groups can't handle it
quaking doesnt scale with pull size
Nimchip can take it pretty well winkwink
pull big on teeming, die to melee stackign with quacking LUL
I’ll pull as much as we can survive
Not that it scales. The fact that it’s fixed dmg
my group all has 17's and my warrior has a lil ol 11
And larger pulls can lead to 💀
I’m happy I just have 1.5 melee with me - .5 cause catweaving
yikes i set myself up for that one
Yeah you did.
I'd suggest pulling small in WM due to quaking
Agree
wuaking
wha if u pull big tho, u can spread throughout the hallway without pulling more
since it's already pulled
4Head
if u keep charging into a new pack whenever quacking appears you avoid stacking with teammates Kappa
Worst part about quaking is getting food buff up or having your healer rez a monkey
lol
you have the whole dungeon to work with for spacing
exactly
Lol
also the hallway's aren't that crowded
Fucking Galaxy brain here folks
imagine getting hit by an 8yd ring when u have >100yds to work with
big brain plays
the areas that allow for BIG pulls in WM are in open areas
Shouldn’t you still be able to do the large whole room pulls?
unless u skystep multiple hallways
Fort hurts only with witches
ya i haven't pushed on my war so while i build my key up, ima test what I can do
so i have a feeling for bigger keys
since im used to my monk
Is there a way to avoid the cleave dot
Run
Lol, I hear you.
Like that's the only way I've found to deal with that bs
my monk got a waycrest
so far our key rng is good, we got waycrest, TD and UR
not sure what our 4th man has and we rotate a 5th
That’s pretty legit.
dude in my guild got a 19 atal
U'll be fine
UR is pretty aids on teeming fort
Ur dps ass gonna get the claps
Just pump through it 4head
hell yeah
For cannon cheesing. How much do you bring to the cannons.

Turtlebois hate me. Another useless ring 😢
astalkeys is for nerds man
What's today's emissary
Proudmoore for alliance, regular equipment cache

Oh, I thought the rewards were the same
Ours isn't an azerite cache; just regular equipment
