Looking forward to seeing how this Microsoft partnership thing is gonna turn out
Rumors are pointing to being able to stream Xbox games on the switch
🙆
Well my guild has decided to just go ahead and kick the bucket anyone need a new tank
This is where you snag up all the good players who still want to play and start your own guild
badum tish
Look with all the problems my guild was having trying to stay alive the last thing I want to do is try and start a new one with less people
Ya hate to see it
points to head
Can't have guild drama when you're the only person in the guild...
Cant raid either
Do you guys tank paku the whole fight?
Heroic I guess I'm not trying to do that on mythic
I do. My guild kills paku last.
You don't swap for kimbuls bleeds?
I sit on paku, and either a dps (DH) comes over and taunts to take one hit or we three tank it and the other tank not currently tanking swaps for a second
Yeah, or if the other tank is a dwarf / paladin you can get rid of it (pretty sure on paladin)
wtf three tank
Makes swaps / positioning not a problem lol
We did it just fine on two, but why even deal with it
with pressing your taunt button? :/
No, with the other tank leaving kimbul and turning the mob.
Or with the bosses getting too close as we swap and losing dps time
it can't possibly be more efficient to instead use a dps less
I’ve done it with two tanks where I sit on paku for most of the fight except when I need to take two bleeds.
The other tank just gets destroyed and takes a lot of damage
My guild is 3 tanking coven as well.
Between bleed and not having the same mitigation we do
It really does trivialize a lot of teh fight
Is there a cap on paku?
A DH would blur and taunt to take 1 stack and I’d taunt back
40
We then started doing it where that DH (who was doing the taunt swaps) just when vengeance and it was easier.:
How bad would that hurt?
I go to 30 ish - when Sb is down you don’t want to get hit by that
Nice, three day weekend for me
Now for me to not push my .io
But then again, kinda want to tank m+ again
But then again, pugs
But then again, tanking is more fun then dpsing
@riki na I mainly play my pally right now
I’ll talk to the other officers tonight. We have one possible tank recruit in the works - you’d have to be on the correct (alliance) side though
Ok scum
I'm not 100% opposed to faction changing
So question, what are you guys doing for the debuff called “tested” on Jadedire Masters? Our tank keeps getting one shot with the debuff when he picks back up the boss.
Doesn’t the mage give stacks? And what should the other tank be tanking while the other one is up for MSS?
So, fight starts. I take mage my co tank takes monk
Around 6 - 8 stacks or so (when they leap away to do their kick / pyro) we swap. I’m on monk and he’s on mage
I go up, for MSS. The other tank is on mage
I come down, my stacks are gone. I take mage and he takes monk
Best for survival assuming equal Ilvl
you just swap on the monk tank mechanic
and let the mages debuffs drop when they expire
You can - but Jesus getting that high on stacks hurts
Yeah pretty much we end up swapping every time after that where dots drop
@exotic spoke bop and divine shield does not clear kimbul dot
Stoneform and Fireblood both do
I was getting up to 4 stacks and cleansing them off
The monk does minimal damage outside of tested debuff.
So you really should be prioritizing swaps on flame debuff, like Riki said. Then only worry about not tanking while you're Tested.
10 stacks was almost one shotting some people in my raid.. especially during last phase.
^^ keep stacks low
The opening sequence Riki explained is exactly what we do, too.
Warriors can spell reflect one of the applications as well
Yea
ee
@exotic spoke I’d offer to be your tank but you’re playing on the wrong faction 😉
Eh, you say that. But you don’t have space goats so it’s hard to agree with you
I hear space goats are prone to becoming genocidal zealots 😉
With those booty claps boiiiii
Man if 10 stacks are one shotting your raid i think something is weird. My guild does it abnormally and do 15-20 stacks in the last phase with no deaths from the stacks exploding.
Better healers or players then? But why would you do that when lower swaps are easier?
Healers preferred 2-3 large hits then 6-8 medium
Eh, healers don’t deserve opinions /s
Pog
Personally i like it. Makes things spicer when you have to hold the bird that long.
Yeah my co tank and I are too dumb and just swap when debuff falls
Hey could i get some opinions on which trinket I should use, I've got Jes' Howler 400 ilvl and recently got Rezan's with a Socket(also 400 ilvl). I have Diamond Laced Refracting Prism from opulence, with a socket at 385. Mainly for tanking m+
I'd think the haste from Rezan's is really good but the Versa gain is like another defensive and offensive CD.
Quick question, is there consensus for what stats are best for dealing damage in M+? Haste/Mastery or Haste/Vers?
Assuming equal level the diamond is the best defensive
I don’t know about the difference of a 15 Ilvl lower diamond though
@real thunder For however accurate simc is, prolly haste/crit
Simulation data for everyone. Overview of DPS relevant simulation data for World of Warcraft.
@exotic spoke True, the socket on the Diamond does help a bit though I guess till i get a 400ilvl. Mainly just not sure between the Rezans and the Jes' Howler
Looking at it it leans haste on ST, and hectic add cleave is adds 40% of the fight, so I'd wager that crit pulls ahead in m+
@neon tangle thanks!
I’d use rezans personally
Socket on it
even if it's marginally less good for damage
@exotic spoke I'll give Rezan's a shot then, thank you 😃
@real thunder haste/mastery
you know i used bloodmallet all the time, but i never thought about looking at the equip part at the bvottom thats pretty interesting, and i have all those pieces i wanna try it out now 🤔
does deafning crash's dmg stack?
so i have been using 400, vial and everchill, great combo, but I just got a rezan's, all 400, struggling to decide what to use
wish sims could easily tell me
obviously i use vial every other avatar
The additional damage does, yes @ember granite
k thanks
sims put rezans higher than vial paired with everychill, but doubt it gets lined up properly
so keep using what im using since the sim doesn't take my lining it up into account likely?
i could see vial with rezans working, but everchill is such nice damage
I’d personally run Rezan’s/Everchill in that scenario. More GCDs > More Claps > More Anchor procs 😃
does intervening the devour on rezan work like it did with fenryr's 'maul' attack?
ie- basically trivialise the whole thing?
For mythic+ I've got a 400 diamond laced trinket. Now I'm debating a 415 alchemy trinket vs 400 vial of animated blood
Animated blood for that big damage
yo..what are bis traits for m+?
just roll random and get bis
Thaanks 😃
nim
yup whats up
the ones with bom on it
im using kraken shell
same tbh
wait they are the one with metricoulus scheming
dude that trait
I took it off
I miss it already
yeah but i have them at BoM + DC
I have DC on my eng helm
nim u play smasH?
because I don't like BS
gotta get ready soon, work is making friday tourneys
not sure who to main now
in smash i mean
im in the same boat dude
i need a good link counter
I would tell you
btw its obv that we get nerfed..but how hard u think :D?
i really wanna main poke trainer
dew eet
bulb is so fucking broken
lol
im also kinda thinking about maining pikachu
yeah lets drop it haha
there's no indication on nerfs @calm trout
i guess our overall dps in m+ is.
and no reason to fear them
no actually
because as soon as s2 is over, and they come up with a new seasonal, our dps will be slightly lower
unless of course if its another affix that makes us tank loads of adds
true
but that's our "utility"
yeah
i honestly think, if there is a nerf planned, it will be a small one
if it comes to that
we have been doing meme amounts of damage since like 8.1
like the day 8.1 dropped, I went full on damage mode and started clapping shit
because of BoM
if they intended to nerf us, they would have something in 8.1.5
well 8.15 i see warriors rainign supreme still
any ideas on how strong zandalar trolls will be for warr tank?
not strong at all
Warriors could have easily pushed super high M+ before(some did) but oh well they never listened to us!
since regen is broken by dmg
It'll be opop in arena for certain classes
prepare to be angry in arena
err
more angry
😃
i mean the bwonsamdi aspect
stealth classes you mean :p
the one that damages per ability
that it stack aoe wise
like tghe trinket from jaina
shrug
?
I might make my lightforged a zandalari paladin
or just level my elf and make him one
idk
honestly im ok with being nerfed, get those rerollers off my lawn
im still gonna be around 😃
strinkin rerollers
clenches fist and shouts at clouds like Bladesong
roflll
I get happy when I answer a question and bladesong replies with "^" to my response
To be fair, prot warr dmg is a meme. Even if the dmg portion gets nerfed, they still take less dmg than other tanks in m+
I just love that people were like man it don't matter we won't be brought for pushes no matter what cuz no utility
It keeps me alive
The whacky shit people say. 😃
WTB same meme damage treatment for dps warriors.
If you go 1x DC 3x BoM 2x Reckless Flurry Devastator buff do you think our ST burst would be better than fury warrior's? 🤔
no
@sick sentinel hard to say, they let BDK and monk go the whole tier
Hey guys, quick question. So my guild is having troubles with heroic conclave and ive been thinking of switching to impeding victory for a quick heal to keep me up. Is this worth losing the haste from the other talent? I tend to be sitting at about 50% after winds for a consdierable amount of time.
Could very well be 8.2 before they address anything
@glad sparrow please dont
lol
if not a troll then your healers need to coordinate their CDs a little better
if your guild is having trouble, its not you, its them
@daring marlin I preached that warrior would be top tier in m+ and i was laughed at NOW LOOK AT ME PEASANTS!
SAME DUDE
tell them to make sure they don't overlap abilities etc, by killing at specific moments
muh utility doe
SAME
also i got my prot to sim 17k in patchwerk
by choosing alot of cheese
devastator simmed only 47 more dps than bv tho
was it patchwerk?
Single target no movement
Thanks guys
Yes nim it was patchwerk
But like theres no real situation where you would run those traits in actual raid
So i settle for my 16.4k sim with actual defensive traits
@glad sparrow my guild struggled with H Conclave until we changed kill order.
Doing Gonk>Kimbul>Akunda>Paku is super easy with a good prot Warrior on Heroic.
thanks i might suggest it.
Do you have any logs?
Where do you usually die?
@glad sparrow youre most likely lacking healing cds, or overlapping them how many healers do you have?
3 d priest h preist monk
4 priests and a monk?🤔
No
@primal crypt did u vod a WCM run yet<3
2 preists and a monk
1 disc priest
1 holy Priest
Monk
i see where i fucked that up haha
Hmm so you have 2cds from holy priest
Are you lusting on pull and in what order are you killing the boss?
@narrow abyss you want the rogue trick to open the doors or?
lust on kimbul and we down him 3rd
Oh
That would do it
Kimbul needs to die asap
So 2nd
The bleeds from kimbul are painful
ill suggest it
yeah the rogue trick to open left side
and also the shrine mini boss skips 😃
the only thing im not 100% on is when he was saying something about how it triggers witches
@narrow abyss check out ashines stream iirc he has a rogue pov from the trick and a vod
got it
yamo said something about aggroing witches and they all spawn first room
which im wondering if i misheard
But tbf its not really needed
This week you can do relatively massive pulls even if you get the right side
I did 15 wcm earlier with friends who are not as geared as i am and we just pulled the entire raal room without lust and killed them easilt
Do we want one str gem and then all haste? Or just straight haste?
haste
kk ty
How’s freehold this week?
doesnt let me select mobs
it's fun
Awesome thanks
he forgot (in EU)
We’ll see. It’s a lower key that I’m running with friends who don’t run many keys
cmon na pugs cant be that bad
im kidding MURICA
Nah, I just don’t care enough. They wouldn’t take me last tier so fuck em
They all wanted meta groups
riki needs diffusal
jesus its been like 3 years that i havent played dota2
i stopped playing just before the talent thingies came out
just found out there's a new hero called mars
I don’t do mobas. Maybe I should play csgo and see how terrible I am now that I haven’t played in 3 years
lies
that should be your avatar pic, then when dota players ask you could tell them you dont play mobas for maximum confusion
@lusty grotto are we gonna do teamchip revival on tournament realm
really
lol
Yeah i still cant tell if youre girl or a boy
Applying to college in the states costs money?? Wtf
I know some people go by, if you can't tell why does it matter
in this case the cycling of cute korean girl avatars is a dead giveaway
nah i dont care im just shitposting
Tofu be my sugardaddy and when i get enough money i will be yours 8)
where @chilly brook at
i need me a tank
if only weep the warrior tank could come
I'm weep @oblique garnet
F
She was a good warrior now shes gone but not forgotten
im back boys
lol
my rogue has more heart level than my warrior after 2 days
only if like
you understand
that i don't have any weakauras
and my ui is
like
its FH
Its a 6
thats fine
you lied to me
Weep why did you quit playing warrior anyways🤔
@lusty grotto you gonna carry my warrior thats 120?
😮
The druid was just to throw you off the scent so i can overtake NA m+ scene
why most warrios are going haste > crit = mastery the criticall is for more revenges?
@sullen drift most likely going for the highest item lvl pieces they get and with the rng system your stats can be all over the place
m+ stat prio is still haste>vers>mastery?
@calm trout ilvl>haste>rest dont matter
I have amazing haste. But if I ever start getting titanforges I know that will change
5 GS>Haste?
for example i was watching nerfclap stream and noticed that he is doing more HPS than the healer at some packs is critical affects ignore pain?
On what piece?
Nerfclap is running leech build
For god knows why
He has 2 bloodsport and siphoning
yeah he has like 10.5 % leach
Yeah i wouldnt recommend it
I mean the more damage you do the more you heal with leech
Crit is not a bad stat for m+ since you get alot of parries that negate damage on big pulls
and more free revenges
You’re a crit
im gonna try that build in order to unserstand it correctly
@primal crypt wtf man
Why are you bullying yamo
carried a shammy with hpal dps
cause he isnt fucking streaming
😬
O_O
i cant, talking to someone on other discord
I care immensely tbh
i am saying i don't care about him being in another discord and that he should join us
ill join when im done
xD
U guys rly need ur own discord or some shit
@modern brook shame on you
we just demolished a KR 13
WHOA
yeah alts :^)
Nim
You know weep was streaming right and i could see everything?
everything?
So you saw how nim let me down at every turn
I saw some spicy quaking clipping
You really don’t wanna see me play rn tbh
Hold on let me actually check if i still have some gametime left on my na account
Phew, that balance druid dps
so i just got absolutely wrecked in KR 15 on trash post 2nd boss.
the casters did so much dmg.
https://i.imgur.com/sfL8U8I.png
this was fun
for those pushing keys. Do you tend to pull that hallway pretty safely? or do you still grab certain packs together
anyone have a site or advice on haste cap? i know there is none but any point where verse mast becomes more worth or nah
nope
they dont, vers over takes mastery when the damage intake is less than 85% blockable
@dense flame in KR on fort always pull safely imo
did wm 17 yesterday, holy shiet, these big magggot pulls hurts
@modern brook mission failed we’ll get them nextime
I mean
Idk what to say xDd
I have no words to describe
What actually happened in that run
I def made some mistakes
but my mistakes were like positioning >.>
and timing the 20% reap
Was that Late's balance druid doing 2.3k DPS in a ML earlier?
2.3m DPS yeah
Yeah 115 balance druid
Super sexy
Big blastee
@modern brook nah the timing for the reaping got kinda fucked by the 2 golems
Im so confused as to why a dk would be standing so far back in m+
idk man
i think if we pulled the big pack instead of the 3rd small one
we woulda got reap right then
and not have had such a shit timing
I’m sad that I missed the party in discord voice earlier 😥
@junior ivy 👋
@chilly brook we're doing keys tomorrow
I’ve got a r6 tournament match tomorrow
sux
Epic gamer
I love my anchor.
I think butchers block is gd for it
yes
On use trinket is giga honestly I suggest some thing for demand pumping
hey, would you suggest taking a second [Deafening Crash] over my first [Callous Reprisal] for M+
Is it just me who finds it annoying when I manage to pull all the mobs together in M+ and then a druid uses blowback?
honestly want to know if Im in the wrong or not
Depends on the situation i'd say
if there's no reason for it
yeah really annoying
usually people use it to interupt etc
mythic champion - if you use spellrreflect at the end of Prayer, will that clear your stacks, or do you need to go for a run?
finally
For me it's 68% where they are even
nice
@fickle juniper depends on the situation but you can have them use vortex and then typhoon them away so it simulates dk mass grip
having problems with pugs letting me have aggro. Usually open with charge-demo-avater-clap etc But that means I dont put out dmg till 3 GCD's after I have pulled by which time the dps are popping off and ranged aggroin mobs out of place
one thunderclap after avatar is enough to get agggro
no really
can I block attacks if they are from behind me??
no
On Mythic champion - do I need to go for a run during the long cast, or will using SR at the end be enough to reset my stacks? About to do it in a pug and don't want to wreck it 😃
ask someone to go tank spec
its way easier with 3 tanks
even if the third one is undergeared, u can just let them taunt till the stacks reset
Have offtank taunt during long cast, when stacks drop, taunt back. Thats what we do at least (:
yeah exactly
yeah - we got 3 tanks
guess i'm just gonna sit there and dps the boss until it dies
occasionally taunting it 😃
enjoy the free gear 😄
i'll be bonus rolling, anything that drops will be a good upgrade for me 😃
Hey guys - mythic jadefire - can you heroic leap of the rings of peace? I've always used a lock gate on heroic
got the hands, the smallest upgrade for me, but ridic easy boss
Ok cool. Jsut trying to pick the ideal players to pick up orbs on jadefire
is there a list of what spells I can reflect for bosses in m+??
hello everyone have a nice weekend:)
Engineering or Alchemy you think? I have one crafting slot open.
engineering is good for the helms and bres option, but alchemy gives longer flasks, can make own flasks and pots, and even trinket
Hello I was wondering whether or not there is a cap on how much haste you want (I mainly play M+)?
Eg. My stats are:
Haste: 1241
Vers: 1064
Mastery: 604
Crit: 473
and I currently stand between the choice of equipping a pair of haste/ vers pants, or a pair of mastery vers pants - same ilvl. So the question is whether or not it is worth to equip the haste vers pants when my mastery is so much lower than my haste. Thanks in advance! 😃
no
same ilevel haste >
other than that
number of stats is more important than the stat type itself
@unborn island after the prayer there’s a wave then spell reflect gg
Thanks @sick sentinel
np
@sick sentinel
@ember arrow hi
What is y’alls effective uptime on shield block in raid
@steel mauve https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JqgDgX8PlBW5a4roR9S0TUUnukGrl-2JuvwFFhn2egM/edit#gid=0
that is with my gear
@sick sentinel it can depend, I tend to spam it during LS for the extra damage but I can almost always have it up when a boss is on me and not the OT, I'd say 30-40ish %
Compared to a raid scenario where u effective time up isn't the same as it would be in m+, it can have factors you have to consider
But I honestly wouldn't worry too much, even in mythic u can take a few clean hits without anything up
Anyone got a mythic jaina log with the opulence trinket?
wanna see how much damage it nigated over the course of the fight
Don't think most of us are 9/9 yet
I know a few are on mekka/storm
Best if u just check the WCL website
Very
it's 415
insane
scales with both vers and haste
If I could, I'd try to get it and rezans at least 400 ilvl
so it gets really good with gear
Could consider running dps trinks on Jaina. Depends on your off tank
Was going say
If ur progging damage might not be worth it
Safer yes, but often not the most effective strat
most effective strat would be the limit strat OMEGALUL
with the bl pre pull
how ppl create these strats
is beyond me
I can tell you
400 IQ
You pussh the game to it's possible max
I tend to just let the boss hit me until it dies
I care little for more damage as a tank, if I need it I can sac my IF/BFI for BoMs
Unfortunately, the damage trinkets for plate isn't like uldir, feels more stat focused and less damage
well to get more background behind my story
I am a main DPS
but both of our tanks just left after stormwall
for different reasons
and now 2 main dps have to tank jaina
them leaving is not connected with each other tho
they both left for different reasons than the other one
one not having fun with wow anymore
the other just being a dick
Being a mythic + tank getting loot from the raid and then just leaving once you have the stuff you wanted
Not having fun in the current tier is a personal issue imo. Blizzard did a good job with this raid
its probably not about the raid
but rather BFA
and how WoW changed after legion
like mythic + being multiple times harder than in legion
looting much quicker
Is endless hunger azerite trait (flat 300 versa) worth taking over a second deafening crash?
i did the math, turns out 300 versa is pretty good
If you are going for damage, I would say no.
my healer is streaming today so we can have the vods for late pog
Versa offers a bit of damage reduction, so that is nice.
to be fair, its 3% damage + 1,5% damage reduc
Yes, but in everything I’ve simmed DC comes out on top
Offensively speaking
A 1.5% damage reduction is going to save you in very few situations
i guess
To each their own, but DC is a chad trait and should be taken advantage of while we still have this power
minor health gain from each enemy killed (5k)
In a m+ situation that could help
triple deafening crash sounds mighty tempting
i already have triple azerite veins
though
It is nuts. I run 3 DC in m+
Is my exact stack in m+
ignore pain + bastion is my jam
If played well you should be right up with your dps in overall damage
i like the synergy
Yes those traits do compliment each other well.traits you take also depends on your m+ comp
guys
i have some issues on holding aggro without avatar
i really need help cause my Dh always die
ill charge->TC->shockwave->TC
Does he eye beam on pull?
Tell him u dont have avatar n chill
without avatar you should be able to fit more globals between each thunderclap, also skull-marking and taunting that target but shield slamming the others tend to work well
provided your dps actually target skull
im feel much better with dk, that is strange
what i ve seen from streaming on high key is that no onw have threat issue
Do you use deafening crash traits?
Well the streamers have rogues for tricks
I don’t know if third global shockwave is necessary for pulls of 3. And in my experience I only periodically lose aggro to DH if he’s chaos strike tunneling something random, but then it’s an issue of one mob that a taunt can fix. I personally don’t have issues
if his ilvl is greater, that's the issue
im 406 and Dh its 412
which stats you run to tank?
Icy veins it
but in short, we run the ilvl stat
Guy who maintains this discord wrote it
Ilvl trumps all. Equal ilvl, prioritize haste
Goddamnit nim you’re beating me to punch every time
I'm in full 385 azerite. Worth to buy 2 400 or wait for next week to get my 415?
Would you guys drop from a 415 to a 400 piece just to pick up a 3rd bom? My head and heart say no but I wanna hear someone say it so I'm not fully consumed by the meme
No, I wouldn't
Well, generally speaking at least
what are the traits on the 415
Is "Servant Splitter" (1hand axe from WM) anything you'd think of using over any other same ilv weapon?
Nope. No secondaries
Its a trap
Thank you. How high do I rate sockets as a tank?
At this point they're generally worth less than 5 ilvls, so always take socketed gear if its the same ilvl, otherwise take higher ilvl
Boi and something else, it's not a bad 415
Thank you, glad to have it confirmed.
Only 5 ilvls on sockets? Is that bro science? Or esti-math? Data would be more pertinent than guestimations.
Haha
3x bom 1x dc or 3xdc 1xBom
If you consider all stats to be roughly equal in value, which they more or less are, a 5 item level upgrade nets you more total stats over a socket.
Bom
Depends..you want more dps for M+ or raid? Sockets are > 5 ilvl diff...you want more stamps for health pool, go higher ilvl
Sockets dont provide armor
1 DC max really... you dont need 3
Sockets can provide more mastery, vers, etc...no gear provides armor
Huh
Higher item level gives more armor...?
only time its considered to take a socket is on rings and possibly cloak, every thing else generally outweights a socket due to the amount of stats and armor they provide
Any news on prot dmg nerf or?
Nothing yet
Dont nerf prot buff the rest pls
Cause i enjoy clappin
Guardian druid buff when
I’m ok with alittle damage nerf honestly
If it happens it happens
BOM trait tweak
No changes worth noting in 8.1.5
So keep stacking those DCs and flex on the dps bois
im awake
again
@lusty grotto
how are u doing
Which of these trinkets would you guys run? I do M+ & BoD.
Rezan's gleaming eye - ilvl 395
Diamond-Laced Refracting Prism - ilvl 400
Jes' Howler - ilvl 410
Big Red Button - ilvl 410 with +40 haste gem
I'm running Jes' Howler & Diamond-laced Refracting Prism right now. Equipped ilvl is 408 & 19% haste with currently equipped gear and 0 stacks of into the fray.
Howler and Prism assuming you're using Howler at a good time, otherwise Rezan's over Howler
I spam Howler on trash packs and combo with lust in M+ and usually on pull/lust in raid or when things are hairy
Howler is arguably the best trinket you could use
How do you guys cycle cds on 15ish (or higher) level blade combo last boss kr (on tyr)
Shield block will suffice there. Maybe use shield wall for second fear if you don’t have a fear totem or something.
And are worried about getting hit.
Briny ain’t bad. It’s decent. But I think probably whatever is highest ilvl
I think wow is trying to tell me something
all 400,big is 405
now you get to enjoy setting it all up again!
Now I have to spend the next 3 hours making sure my hotbar is perfectly aligned with the corner of my screen and the game
And making sure the top doesn't overlap
And thats just 1 bar
yeah i break out a 6 inch ruler every time i set up a UI
😐
So instead of doing a 10 today on my druid and warrior, im going to order some food and spend the day fixing a fucking bar
Download ealign
A FUCKING BAR
When you get it setup, you should copy your WTF folder (or whichever one saves that shit)
That way if it happens again, you just pull in the backup
❤
I am going to kill everyone and then myself
Uhhh
If I could beat everyone to the finish line first I would
casts Shield Block
I dont use ignore pain cause i am emo
gotcha i usually do it as dps in higher and i always see tanks getting rocked so getting nervous to tank it lolol
Blockable mechanics are usually a lot less harsh on warrior tanks
Ya
I don't know that you really need anything to proc it. Should have friendly melee or enemies near you at all times I would think. That being said, the target dummy type ones should work, though obviously you would have to be next to them.
Archmage Vargoth's Spare Staff works as well
Seems to be the only one that's on a short CD that works. The rest are anywhere from 10 mins to an hour
I love how solid my warrior feels compared to my BDK. My BDK gives me sphincter factor 14 sometimes
@modern brook I'll be gud in a couple hours
@modern brook you still tilted?
Crit or mastery
ilvl
which 415 azerite piece do i go for first guys 😄
@lusty grotto but in this case they're same ilvl 😃
@oblique garnet hi
@sick sentinel hi
Hrm, same ilvl, knot of ancient fury > gore-crusted block?
@oblique garnet we can do MDI together next time B)
idk
which random azerite piece should i go for? helm, chest or shoulders?
whats your lowest and what traits do you have?
All else being equal, I'd say shoulders > helm > chest
you can get chest from first boss in bod
if/ bm on chest
Pretty easy to pug the first boss even on mythic so yeah.
are skyscorcher pauldron's bis?
do i take bfi or uc in the second row? (mostly for keys)
Any Taurens? Considering going orc from Tauren but I like the extra health.
I take bfi
Yeah and camera angles are wonky. Plus avatar in tol dagor im extra huge
sweet thanks dude!
blood elf best
@sick sentinel
Just did a weekly 10 for some guildies.
73 minutes, shrine +10.
well I depleted a +10 tos
so I know how you feel
"yeah lets do weekly on alts"
"my weapons are 325 btw and I don't have my azerite have only 3 rings"
My friend went on his prot warrior alt and had a 35% uptime on battle shout
Ap Buff
but the fury warrior had a 40% uptime.
So together it was 75% uptime
which is well, less than the uptime on my barbed shot
.......I really hate playing with alts.
huh
hi
i'm ingame
im a lil sicktoday
@modern brook YO IT WORKED https://i.imgur.com/d5pe1Ju.png

naps got me goin blankie mode on the gang
@modern brook u want me to hold off on queueing for groups btw
For m+, prot vs bdk
I have a geared bdk but it feels behind with the poor mobility. Yea I can finish with big heals but I was wondering what prot brings? I know good damage and mobility
But are they a tin can defensively?
My bdk as quoted above, I clench a lot
So I was going try prot, did the removal from gcd set them at the top?
prot = brm > pally > bdk > druid > veng
ip removal off gcd set them as the meta
in terms of output they were already top
the difference is that prot has virtually no utility
(but in my opinion, utility should be the dps you bring :'))
Yea I am used to aoe grip, grip, ranged int
But rp walk everywhere
My god how bad it feels
What healer pairs well with prot? With bdk druids made the damage intake feel smooth
guys how really good are (Winds Of War - Trait) and do this stack if i have 2 of them?
ip off gcd didnt set prot as the meta, its not as strong of a buff as the masses think, its more a QoL change to make the class feel better, albeit a slight buff to rage spending
^^
we got slight buffs to our survival with the vanguard buff's, our biggest buffs were the addition of a second major azerite trait on gear
@sick sentinel what made prot “meta” was literally just a perception change and m+ shifting to favor our damage with reaping
which every one got, just it effected us pretty much the most out of all the tanks since our traits are really really strong
for prot engineering goggles do you take relational normalization gizmo or the shock trait?
uh
yeah
the perception change
because IP came off of gcd
prot was meta before season 2 lol
actually i think the perception changed mostly because they thought the vanguard buff's were some major ehp buff when they were kind of slight buff's
prot was meta since 8.1
ip being removed from gcd was huge
for m+
it was by far the strongest thing to happen for prot defensively in regards to m+ this entire expac
^
how I look at it
is that yeah we can respond to stuff more etc
but if we don't waste GCDs to use IP
we can use GCDs to generate more rage and do more damage
2 things pushed prot into meta
- ip removed from gcd
- bdk nerfs
2 is bigger than 1
so that translates to more consistently using SB AND IP at the same time though the dungeon, whereas previously you might had a SB up but not enough rage to use IP
thanks for the analysis von neumann
- BoM
🤣
My bdk gets absolutely wrecked.. my war feels so much more solid
Yea I have to clench when Bonestorm not up
in my opinion, what made warrior good was not one specific thing but a lot of little things combined
yes
you can't pinpoint one thing
because it was like
- 10% vanguard buff ( it adds up)
- IP off the GCD
- SB 16 sec CD from 18 sec
- being able to block "shoot" and "throw rock" and all that jazz
- BDK nerfs
- BoM
maybe even more
also, many tanks can get aggro and then fucking leg it
but they can't do 100k+ aoe
when bullfango asks me to tricks him
and i dont even have a focus macro for tank
so i click on him
thing is
when initiating a pack
and you blast like 70k insta
the warrior has to charge in, probably has use avatar before the charge
clap-demo shout-clap, maybe revenge to spread deep wounds etc
if you get a crit with between the eyes or some shit
or you are a DH and you insta eyebeam
you can get aggro
and get melee'd and die instantly
I think it was the gamers all rising up that made prot meta
hmmm
I mean this tier and m season affix play into our strengths and then letting shit stack and giving us an extra ring of azerite to get to 3 bom dream and things is what threw it off
Oh the affix is just aoe down a ton of mobs and they can get 3 bom? What could go wrong
I actually can talk a lot about this but its like 4am (4:20 in 1 min PepeSmoke ) and I will just rant on my own into the void so I would rather not
Cmon, rant more. Im bored at work and I love how prot is now.
I just hope they find screw with it to "fix it" and put it in a bad place
Oh, they will. Prot warriors cant have nice things for long
I have transferred to a different server so I have no characters there other than my warrior
So I'm gonna start leveling other tanks
Because I started taking beginning of bfa, and after being a melee dps for 10 years, taking mplus spiced things up
I started having fun again with the game
I was in a social guild and now I'm a way, way better guild (as fury though, I still find raid tanking not that interesting but not that bad either)
kage top500 now
Not as fun though, my prev guild had some really fun guys in and I actually enjoyed playing with them a lot
prog though
Ye hopefully stormwall is dying on Monday
Anyway, tl:dr, we might be clapping now
But we're about to get clapped
shoe soup handslam 😫
So I'm leveling a dh because its only 22 levels
And then I'm gonna level more tanks
Probably a devastating zandalari druid
And a dk
Monks are stupid, them and pandas should never have been in the game
And I will never make a paladin for any reason whatsoever
I'd play dh for havoc
fury but better
How do you guys deal with the reaping dot? as prot warriors? i just died from a 130k dot.
have your healer dispel you
^
Crit on your gear
Make sure you are facing the reaping mobs
If you are getting hit in the face and not the back you are going to get (3%+your parry chance) less stacks
You can spell reflect one application
I thought it was multiple, my b
can game it with shockwaving all / spell reflecting all applications at once
🧀
Actually sounds sick as fuck
Arent the mobs that shadow smash immune to stun?
Thought you were going to bed :-P
lol unyun man
