Consider the Ferdinand clause for a second there Bullfango
I dont have much man
Don't intercept your co-tank tho since he will get smacked by the impact as well @young harbor
I’d do the same thing
hahaha, yeah good call
On progress i'd generally just get thrown the normal way to not confuse people.
Wait so who do you charge?
I ended up leaping a bit further behind my co-tank
someone back to the group i assume to reduce the travel time
That one guy you don't like
hahaa
I have a raid full of those
focus intercept a clown in the raid
But you pretend to be nice to
So i diddn't intervene..but leap.
great ideas all around
I exploded every time I tried the tank intervene thing
Oh so you leap out, then intrevene in?
But it was early prog so idk if I had two bleeds or something
Intercept* damn english.
Wait.
What if you leap away.
Then during your leap you intercept Grong?!
I get picked up..i smash my Leap key as much as i can near my co-tank but not on him..land on the leap spot..charge back in
Might not even need to charge back in since it's so close. : p
Think that should be the leap one
I was messing around with it yesterday
Very nice
😂
so the key thing to note though is that the impact damage is still centered on you
not the target
So as longa s you're not leaping on people you should be fine with it
Side note tho..in case you are the tank getting thrown all the time and want to leap every single one of them you are going to have to take Bounding Stride for the reduced leap CD.
you should be taking Bounding stride in raids anyway IMO
...i never go with anything else.
Heroic Leap is why im a Prot Warrior and not another Tank
Idk, where else would i leap that often?
Rastakhan/Mekka
not really
Generally for our strats/kills i haven't ever needed the lower CD on leap.
But nothing wrong in taking it.
Leap on Conclave is useful for positioning
ESpecially for putting akunda thunder outside of winds, and leaping in
but it has more potential use than crackling
on conclave we swap by changing positions ourselves rather than having the bosses cross, so i leap a fair amount
Idk, i only leap once every bird on Conclave
We had our timing down good enough that the couple seconds of crossing didn't matter
We tank the bosses pretty much next to eachother tho so..
Yea. Same. For eyebeam cleave. My DHs were bitching at me for a bit when we tanked a bit away from each other. 😛
yeah it doesn't matter too much, but i like keeping the bosses still in case people have some ground effect under the boss we're targeting
🤔 eyebeam cleave
dont think so
Is the blockades trinket any good for prot nowadays? I'm a filthy casual so not able to raid much for those trinkets...and I have no good RNG for Jes's Howler or any other good m+ one...
Doesn't show on logs for DPS afaik.
^
it didnt hurt anyone else for me to tank closer, so i didnt care
Or is blockades a waste of money and I should just keep trying for better ones?
it wouldn't surprise me if they lied.. my DHs are all meter whores
^
Alrighty ty
@red wedge just ask the havoc discord
oh, i dont care if it's true or not.
@red wedge That's just for pure dps with EB, it doesn't lower CD
Can tell you that they just lied to you .. there is no such thing as EB cd reduction when you hit more target they just wanted to cleave
This was a thing back in legion when havoc used to have lego head
Wow
ur telling me dh's are lying to tanks to pad in game meters
:shocked pikachu face:
lol
@oblique garnet @primal crypt you there fellas? what are we thinking in these time trials keys
are we running devastator for explosive? it was so good in legion
the keys are out?
F
ah that sucks friend
at least you don't have to grind out this BURSTING TYRANNICAL KR
apparently they never said that
F
i never found confirmation that they had
Raging forti together
they're super easy
ARe they retarded
Oh I'm sorry, forgot you can mass soothe
what mob are you scared of in atal'dazar
Honor Guards
tip: it's the single honor guard per pack, which you just soothe
It's a time trial ok
got 410 boots on my warrior from voldun emissary this morning before work putting him at 400 ilvl finally with shitty 370&375 trinkets
Middle pack (which u should be pulling for time trials)
Underrot wont matter
Honor guards
Thats a free key
that underrot is hilariously easy
https://gyazo.com/433d46100029541f1b25b37f5b1cbfd6 @oblique garnet
Like if you think that combo in AD is easy, it's because raging forti doesn't exist on live for obvious reasons
its live
I mean those are gonna be crazy speedkeys
on TR?
Like pull half the fucking dungeon kinds keys
Saurids will be a healer nightmare
Sanguine volcanic
Saurids will be pretty gross i'll allow that
Like ???
Slow down points are saurids in atal
And minions with bursting in Kr
Thats it
Everything else is vanilla and pull fast
minions probably don't trigger bursting anymore
blobby boys in 2nd boss room though
They do
Then even more of a joke
They trigger bolstering
If u wanna get good time in UR, u get a combo of Rogue DH and WW and gigablast
So they should
Or well ya that^
Yup, UR is about to be the new 8 min dungeon
There has been no announcement of any bursting changes
dont spread wrong info
Only bolstering has been changed
There has though
It was in the changes of on death affixes
Bursting is a on death affix
It is not confirmed 🤷
It absolutely is
bursting is on death affix
Also, I did say probably considering there hasn't been any bursting on live since the change
Either way, good luck to everyone competing
Legit havnt seen that anyhwere, but thats nice
Get into the top 8 and you're gg
So auto hammers bolster?
@primal crypt FeelsEUMan, we got like 20th last time which would have been 9th NA
These turbo nerds are about to slaughter the masses lmao
auto hammers come with reaping I know that much
I'm just glad that we can't go infinite tries anymore
I saw the tweets they put out, they've all been off work since TR released
yeah i think im out aswell 😦
anyone has cancelaura makro ready for jaina so i dont have to do it myself? :>
I will carry your ambitions on my back, friends
@oblique garnet Wait what? As in the item you put down yourself or am I missing something?
*and would like to share
Yes
Wait....auto hammer reap lmao
Auto hammers reap
We actually have the fully busted comp, prot warrior rdruid monk/rogue and then a dh/frost mage
So i'm moderately optimistic
This is way beyond busted comp
I'm curious if they procc bursting.
I know they shouldn't but I also know this game is spagetti code
Remember if you get on camera get a pump before so you can walk around with the irl version of avatar
But melee get the dot then
Explosives keep you healthy
Kind a hurts
oh fuck you're right i don't need a healer at all in the AD
Ive seen the streamers already pull it off memeing
These also aren’t 20 keys
wait here's the GIGABRAIN strat
@primal crypt explosives?
Im pretty sure theyve tested already lmao
Nope doesnt work
4 dps with 3x vampiric speed 3x endless hunger
yeah that's kinda what i thought it seems unreal hard
I feel like people are really underestimating that combo
leech on TR PepeHands
i wish we had some warning on this so i could work off
i work 8 hour shifts both weekend days
5 chances
underrot is going to be blaster town btw
If ur going for mdi
Only the boss gets one shot Tips SD
...
That one brain fart
And oops, rip time trials lul
Im not talking about the top teams
Im talking about groups like mine xD
We get the high keys, but boi do we struggle bus
Lol rip
Lol
Just know your team irl and whip them.
Also at least you have high key team ;;
Oh I whip them
We've done this shit over and over
And still, oh shit was that my kick?
...
I tunneled, Im sorry

well that's why
i raid lead so people know that if they miss interrupts in my keys i will actually just sit them for jaina progress
you have a guy
it's great fun
that calls all the important interrupts
tanking is so easy these days so we are basically just RLs for dungeons now
micromanaging everyone's abilities and stuff is pretty fun
basically yeah
??
i'm sorry friend
to be fair when you no life this game for 11 years everything feels easy don't feel bad
do you have the weakaura?
Ya
Which WA?
But bad at keeping track
I've been doing it manually like a pleb
you just need to play so much prot warrior that you can do it blindfolded, then you can focus on what everyone else is doing
@heavy chasm the one that shows your group's interrupt CDs
I smol brain tank
Just have the exact same binds for every single character
Big brain healer
I linked the keys to my teammates
@heavy chasm i did that by my GL got mad at me rolling on all the shields on my rogue
One responds with, oh it's reaping not infested?
I told her i cant SS until i get one
Wtf
I said key binds you ape @modern brook haha
see that ERT on the left? I call for every single one of these things except tranq
Because you ghosted me
BITCH 😠
HA
i did no such thing
Ima level my rogue up for my dls itch
You rog was an infant t the time
Ya I think I wanna tweak my m+ ui
An inkling of an idea
As an aside; I've been trying to pug 15s for the acheivement - and like doing 200k more damage than anyone else in the key and then getting tidal core and everyone else got 420 weapons
really fucking triggered me
Take cc off of party frames and have it as ert bars
almost as bad as the rogue i tanked for that refused to do mechanics
TFW your friends can't do more damage than you in M+
and still hada higher score than me
Big Z; tbh
also WM is so fucking ez now with maggots not bolstering lololol
I'm at this weird cross roads in my M+ career
@primal crypt raging fortified is actually disgusting
How so
where i hate pug tanks, and half my guilds tanks arent geared/ mentally prepared for keys
like no joke
but if im not on rogue we dont have one and the keys are scuffed anyways
@oblique garnet yeah, 18 raging on just a couple mobs
Oof
@opal peak i just mean like; dont know skips; guess their route; dont understand mechanics etc
Fair
I’m getting better at not being a bad with yoloing route
There were a few dungeons I cba doing
its frustrating cause i really enjoy keys and he phrase" I dont have to understand it ill just follow u" is said way too much
Tbh you can yolo a lot more in s2
will rage
I feel you bull
like theres so many deadly mobs in atal
what u guys think about my stats , is they okay or ? just kinda new to prot , always been a main alt , but not played it much in bfa before now , mained bm monk in uldir ^^
I want to push keys with guildies who are all pretty good but won’t take 20 minutes to make a decent route we can use from then on
More like freehold Bc so many mobs it wasn’t hard to just get % and Waycrest Bc never wanted to deal with diff routes lol I just knew generally what to pull to get %
Awful stats
Should probably just re rolll tbh
you always prefer higher ilvl
if you are comparing 2 items of the same ilvl then you go with the one that has the most haste
Every person who asks that without looking at pins gets a snark answer from me tbh
@opal peak Waycrest is great, I always just pull the minimum amount of mobs that I can and head through the dungeon
I literally have to make a route on a dungeon-by dungeon basis
even double pack will be deadly enough
And then teleport back up and finish %
becuase i cant get a group of consistent classes >.>
Just did a wc 17 last night oh god
Yeah I hate that. My guildies are decent some just going past 1.4K now
But like there’s a reason my best keys are with pugs
same tbh
on ez weeks like last my guild was great
timing progression keys is nice
this week though im probably just pugging everything / playing with @lusty grotto
Like they get pissed. Last Monday with some jerk off pug group of double monk hunter rogue and tank I added 160 points to my io
I have 2 groups with my guild, one is a bit better than the other but neither are bad thankfully
They aren’t bad per se
Just rough cuz you want to do more content and put it more work
Coincidentally just stepped down from guild/raid lead because I want to join a real prog guild and don’t want to chase down people to do their fucking tens every week
The problem with 1 is the hate of pugging and wanting to grab Guilfoil’s first even when there are no decent m+ guildies on
@modern brook there’s 2 other dps from my guild who are getting better and we’re pugging 15+ keys
Is there a way to generate new stat weights to plug into pawn from the spreadsheet?
@oblique garnet looking through mdt right now
So they wanna take people that do like 12s to 18s
Trying to imagine the raging boys
@hidden crown dont trust stat weights, trust pawn even less
Raging venomblast even if one goes off
Anything that might potentially one shot
will oneshot
LMAO
gear with ilvl>haste and you'll be fine
Raging shieldbash does 140k through block
sorry, this whole time
Ok thanks.
Hey guys! Qualified for the tournament realm but have very little experience with prot warrior, especially gearing wise. Has any of you made a "full bis" prot warrior there? 😄
LMAO fort atal
@magic light are you looking for gear for the 3 time trial dungeons>
^
i have 2 deafening crashes 2 bastions 1 blood sport and 1 iron fortress
Atm just looking for a great overall set
that i could maybe then tweak
Overall gear set
I doubt that i'll be able to play my main for the trials, gotta learn prot 😄
crit performs the best in physical dungeons
For traits I’d probably make a build of 3xBoM/3Xdc (maybe one IF)
can give up on bloodsport?
3x bom 1dc is your starting point
Yeah
I’d probably give up bs for the physical dungeons
IF/BFI def better than them
Yeah
I’m super partial to the engineering helm
Oh no
5x fray
Bull might do it for you
😠
oh ❤
fuck u yam
would be thankful 😄
cause with traits I can get a good idea
yamo
So i trust him
stats are harder to evaluate
damn dude
@oblique garnet sup
i cant participate with 90% chance
wtf did i do to u yam
my healer doesnt come back from holiday till monday
Part of playing this game is kind of being able to play your class as well
@oblique garnet that's F
its over
It's either this or going VDH like on live :^)
My third dps went to play PoE
Yikers
and feel like i'm sandbagging my team 😄
@modern brook it's because I like you :)
I'd be more concerned with your rotation rather than your gear
prot gearing is very simple
You good guy
3 bom 1 dc will cary you
@magic light You go to the vendor for atal you might wanna buy haste/vers set pieces, for UR crit/haste same with kr
@magic light you gonna need to step it up
Got it!
Three 18 keys
Should I look for a little bit of mastery on the gear or just give it up entirely?
Are a little difficult to prepare for right away
since 3 Bastion
youre gonna go 3 bastion you dont need any mastery on your gear
For atal you go 3xBoM 2x BloodSport 1 Dc
Safeko actually has the haste crit dream on live
2 bs in atal, really?
For the rest you go with 3x BoM 3x DC
Atal is going to decimate
As an aside. I did some simming of a meme build. Instead of 3x bom/dc. Taking 2x bom 1 bfi 2x reckless flurry 1x dc and devastator was a 7% increase to ST dps
prism is staple?
I know simming is a bit wack but it should be pretty much the same
@analog swift why are you simming half-meme builds
Just summed the gear I had
trinkets you want prism + anchor combo for atal
This aint no raid lul
Bom summer higher than bfi interestingly enough
rest gore + anchor
Simmed*
@primal crypt the honorguard bleed tick on fort + raging is just gonna make you a new one
its true; avatar is why i play warrior
would you rank azerite veins highly?
no
its like a B tier middle ring, iimo
too unreliable
3 bastion starting point?
1 dc starting point
Then as much BOM as u can
Rest is making do with what u got and personal preference between BFI/IF/BS and I guess CR
this is talking tr @narrow abyss
i'm gonna copy paste every tip that was written before
please dont
stat and azerite prior for each dungeon was great 😄
big brain gear composition but cant use it myself feelsbadman
that joys of rng lol
icy veins probably better
both are updated
Ok thanks for the info 👍
Hey guys, i am new to tanking ( played for a week now, only m+ and managed to start tanking around +8 keys with not that much of a problem ) i only do m+ in WoW, and because i am new to tanking i was wondering how you guys sim trinkets especially for protection, a bit confused because i am certain that the simming only shows which trinket gives you more dmg, but in this case isn't survival trinket better than a dmg dealer one as a tank ? So how do you sim trinkets correctly ? Damage dealing vs survivability
Comes down to familiarity really.
you can only sim for DPS
You want those that give both
Getting exposed to different difficulties and comps will help you determine what trinket/balance of dps vs survival you want to run
= rezan, block, alchemist stone etc
For example i had 380 [Gore-Crusted Butcher's Block] and i just got 390 [Lingering Sporepods], thats where i started asking myself this
Only defensive or only offensive options kinda suck
sporepods are trash
To be perfectly honest, if you're new to tanking your head should first be at executing Prot effectively. After that I'd worry about simming to optimize dps (since you can't sim for survival, which is our prime directive as a tank). But that's just my hot take
no trinket will compensate for poor play
Nothing will actually
I say that as "simming" in the Prot sense somewhat assumes optimal play
You know what trait Im starting to dislike
Bulwark of masses is still bom 
you kinda did
btw zanda racial - 4% crit yay?

Thanks for your help
Bulwark has been irkin me a lot
didn't mean to sound like a dick @plucky granite , just want to prevent a common mistake I see new tank players make. Getting caught up in the rhetoric surrounding tanking (meme's, simming, "BiS", trash tier, yada yada), before actually building a strong foundation of why these conversations are brought up in the first place.
without it you get people asking "should I enchant Leech?" I saw (insert high prot streamer here) do it?
Ye i know what you meant, so far i am liking tanking as it is my first time and a really challenging one, keeps my interest in the game, i got sick of being a dps as a havoc, 3button rotation all the time it just gets boring. Tanking is new to me so i never thought about the trinket situation in that way so i thought i would ask here
Imagine the following scenario: you have 2 minutes in the clock to time a WM13. Tried to skip the last horrors before golak tul (already had reaping 5), but failed and aggro. Do you engage them with boss and risk bolstering, or do you kill them and try to kill boss later? Keep in mind that BL was up
well the mantra with trinkets is generally answering the question "do you need the survival?"
I just went through it and I feel like I made the wrong call, after the "gogogo" pressure lol
and being able to answer that question comes with familiarity of the content you're doing
this is why you see most of us not using full survival setups because we know what we can get away with, feel me?
gtfo
omg
No u should shard that
SCRAP IT
No, send it to me for proper disposal
200 keys no usable trinkets
Then I did an AD sale
I got paid 30k to loot that trinket
@vocal skiff even one or two bolstering on the boss is going to skyrocket your timer
Sorry to interrupt
depending on when those occurred
@sand egret Thx
50-60% of the boss hp
yeah...
Tbh with that much time remaining on a 13 you'd have been against the timer wall either way
Even on a fort week
Yeah, we spent a lot of time with the pack right before lord and lady waycrest
But the bolstering def not worth
bolstering a boss is just adding hundreds of thousands if not a million(s) of hp
shit gets real bad when you compound it with higher key scaling
Hero
Bring his hp to 0
hero, cds, kite strat or utilize your group comp
What kite strat
What blade said
Prio IP
Hero especially
if u have a dps that can help - use it, let them taunt and use immunity or something
maybe it's 40? either way, it's got a range
This week easier than last week imo
Its skittish, i wouldnt "kite"
for zul
yeah I utilize my DK friend
I thought he'd just tingle one of my guys' butt if i outrange
taunt + ams
I utilize a bres
takes a few bolts. Brez works
I just used healthstone health pot last stand demo twice and shield wall
i wouldn't be surprised if a DH in meta + blur can tank a few
4Head
Or kill him but you will die
Either way, just kill him
And get the bres for reaping
Because yeah
Hm
I think i'll just skip m+ this week
lol
i tried a KR and we just got cucked in hallway after 2nd boss 😦 no chance to die by zul
PepeHands
imagine interrupting casts LUL
I haven't hit my M+ for the week, but I'm dreading it on my other 2 tanks
i've done a 17 and 19 TD which were real ez - then we failed the 20 TD lol and a very close but timed 19 freehold which wasn't too bad, just a few oopsies
does anyone tank with https://www.wowhead.com/item=165928/eternal-alchemist-stone#created-by-spell , and if so is it worth using? i see a lot of higher tanks using it but want to check before crafting
it's solid
TD is real ez - the only iffy part is pack b4 jes
~1 ppm on a good str prc
even more value if you actively use Potions (afaik it works with Healthstones)
It's solid
😡 yam gimme that diamond
seriously
Prob one of my favorite trinkets
sup with these tease posts today
thankfully i got it on our last mythic reclear b4 extending on my monk even tho base
i have to farm for heroic TF on my war 😦
Wat tease post
you and your 425 trinket
grong dropped a 425 socketed mace this wek
or The Warrior Formerly Known as Mactier's Rezan at 425
TFW u prob wont ever do mythic on ur warrior and need to hope for real Pog heroic tf / chest tf
just waiting on that 425 anchor SS
Wait a minute @willow scarab fumis mactier??
Iono
i can't keep up with this shit
i know how to test this....
ahem
"How good is PARRY?!"
am currently using 405 prism and a 425 ancient tuskars so i was making sure it will beat the prism if used
lmao
sorry , had to post after you said it
if it makes u feel better i have no 425 trinkets on any of my guys
with a socket
man heck my 420 vial 😦 not even a socket
it's up like 40% of the time if not more
What race would u guys recommend for m+? TR in specific
i'll prolly use belf for underrot
NE
for not sure about atal or KR
I'm going to replace your cerial with glass shards and gasoline. Because I'm jelly of your luck
@sand egret lol, non taken, but thanks for the help on the alch trinket
that's actually bananas
What’s the ppm on that
those tier of trinkets have such insane stat weights....
its like 2+
it's up ALL the time
Oh that’s not bad then
i had a 385 one that I was constantly seeing 40+% uptime
about 3-4 a minute at 7 sec a proc
I remember way back early in bfa I tried it for a bit and it was pretty underwhelming
It that seems bug
Big
yeah it's reallly nice
those trinkets are just nutso weighted so getting a freak TF like that probably puts it at potentially BiS status imho
like the haste proc one is basically just superior rezan's
oof
410 servant splitter or 410 sharkbait fishook
man where tf are my 425 socketed trinkets
lots of m+
3-4
no 425 socketed trinks.... but 407 on a week old toon lmfao
with a 425 socketed avoid shield
@sick sentinel sharkbait
or does it not really matter
eng helmet is crazy good
SSC is probably better in ST if im remembering the trait correctly
RNG is just always good
whats PPM on Rezan's?
1
kk
and personal absorbotron is better than the bleed one right
its more consistent, yes
Also, which Zandalari Loa are those of you that are zandalari using?
ive kept on paku just since default & not sure which would be most useful etc
Akunda(Gonk/Bobsburger)
wait
Damn lucky
I just like MS because I hate being slow
Still rocking my 400 no drop rip
https://www.worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/character/malganis/Thorgul char might as well be 7 days old, was 363 and hadnt touched in months until last week
got super lucky lol
i mean i got my war to like 405 in maybe 2-3 days, it isn't hard
but a shield like that
ffs
oh yeah, i mean ive been smashin keys too. was doin 12s at 370 & havent stopped except to raid on main lol
@primal crypt idk who mactier is, i'm fumeiyo
🤔
Any thoughts about loas for m+ already?
paku/bwom
none really have a major advantage though
after all, you ain't picking a Blood Elf for the 1% crit
@primal crypt for those videos can your closer just be "And remember not doing opener skips doesnt save time, even if you wipe"
cause uhhh
really fucking sick of missing timers by 2 mins because ppl are a fraid of skipping in case they wipe >.>
that's your problem right there
gonk gang for loa
get people who aren't afraid
I'm trying to get my 15 temple in this week
cause its fucking free
AS LONG AS YOU DO THE DOUBLE SHROUD
lol
doesn't sound free to me!
and every pug is like `nah we'll just take the 3 hardest pulls on bolstering
wait what is double skip? ramp and what's second? assuming it isn't the final ramp
oh the full ramp
then shroud again as the timer ends
gotcha
gives u ~18ish seconds of shroud
which is the 3s u need to get past the mobs at the bottom of the stairs
lol
The only pack u should pull before first boss is the one at the start of that room
the previous 3 take like ~6 minutes on fort/bolster
i imagine even that first pack is annoying bc there's the small dude
plus if u have bad timing on stalker and he comes late
🤷
Skipping the start is pointless
is this good?
well right is the answer on teeming pretty sure
y are u pulling things before 1st boss at all
with less adds overall even on teaming
its literally easier just fucking skip thme its a waste of time
is a mistake
like u need to skip something and that ramp is annoying no matter the week
Every problem pull between start of dungeon and updated grave yard is before the first boss
It's pointless on any week to skip the start, u lose nothing skipping the start
@sick sentinel its pointless on any week to not* skip the start?
but like
what do u gain by not skipping
there is so much % in temple there is no reason to kill anything at the start
not saying i always skip that first 3 pack - but that's not bc it's better to do it, more likely someone not being comfortable with the pre-shroud bc they dont normally do it or something
@modern brook do you have a vod about that skip?
I dont but its a lot easier than it sounds
you literally just shroud as u would pre-meta
then shroud again as soon as the barriers down
it pandemics itself
do you skip all the way down to the pack at the bottom of the stairs?
You have to sap one of the shrouded fangs out of the hall way
and yeah it puts you on the stairs to the boss room with only that pack in the way
I can make a video later on
I would appreciate it if you did 😛
sure Idk if im around tongiht, but i know my guild has a bunch of 12 templess
@modern brook like can opener?
wtf did u just call me
@neon tangle if u just look up a temple key on twitch/youtube chances are you'll see it
^ true
He lets the shroud drop which is unnecessary and he also distracts which is also unnecessary
the first sap is technically unnecessary as well
But its a lot safer
and you lose nothing for doing it
Do AD keys exist at high levels 😦
imagine not being alliance for mdi
Why is meld so good?
more skips
allows for cheese/skips
@modern brook it's pointless to skip the start of ToS, ur not going to 2 chest a ToS above a 15 with that shroud skip
less need for rogues - removes significance of 5min shroud CD - can mess with stuff like the charge in KR on 3rd boss
Inb4 shadow meld becomes unusable in mplus
im curious how u come to that conclusion @sick sentinel
It saves no times, it's rather pointless and unneeded
Because I've run ToS too many times
I mean it clearly saves time
Anytime not fighting saves time, plus if it's on CD immediately you can use it again...?
You can also just invis spot
Like waat?
U learn very quickly what saves time and what doesn't
i mean so what do u skip instead
I skip the end only
Nerdrage do you mean the second and third pack?
I challange you to find a high key where they dont skip start
??????
do u not pull it at all?
The beginning I pull right side
What keys levels are you doing?
the 2 packs on the ramp

My group kills the first pack, invis pots down the left side and skips the next two packs, then pulls the last pack at the very bottom of the stairs
Okay.. but if your not interested in using the shroud within 6 minutes anyway what possible reason for jot skipping is there?
u obvi have to kill the 4 at last boss
Did it on a 19 Tuesday
@sick sentinel do u do last reaping then?
that, combined with skipping all trash after gauntlet (other than the 4 hexxers you need to kill to start the event) means you don’t have to do the last reaping
Can you still pull trash with last boss buff?
Yes, but as soon as the boss fight is over you lose it
ideally u kill all the hexers but 1 until trash is about dead
and u just finish it off together
Btw can you cc the stormcaler miniboss?
That’s what we did. Pull the last trash once we got the buff and cleared a portion of it before we tried to kill everything else at once
with bolstering u wanna avoid killing the trash until 3 hexers are head and last is kind of low
wouldnt wanna have a big boi hexer to take a ton of time
Yup. But it’s not too bad either way.
I’m dreading our siege tonight. Wel the pack before the first boss
Honestly I just do a 10 for the week
It’s just so rage inducing hoe much harder this week is compared to last
This weeks pretty easy. 2 chested TD 17. Times temple 19
My group couldn’t do much last week and that made me sad
Well td is super easy on fortified
And temple I’d say as well. Plus not that much to get bolstered
I mean, true, but I think TD is probably the easiest overall
@opal peak yes, at the very top of the ramp before the boss
Because u deal with maybe 1-3 lost souls
Eh, feels like wasted time imo.
The logic just doesnt work
Why do that when you can skip two pulls and not deal with last reaping?
just quickie hopefully . have a choice between third DC trait or Callios reprisal . i heard DC hs high DR after the 1st one. so should go CR fr survival and DC for dmg right?
The boss fight in ToS lasts anywhere bewtee 2-3 minutes, so if u keep that in mind u need to be heading to boss with at least 10-15 minutes after killing the 3rd boss @exotic spoke
That's not accounting for if u have healer dps, the dps u have, the affixs
@vocal skiff yes
Which can speed or slow the time
Oh I know @sick sentinel. I just don’t see why you wouldn’t want to skip the trash in the stairs at the beginning
I personally don't because I want to get rid of reaping right away and not at the boss
Your fueling everyone else's point
What?
Why would you do it?
That's the entire poi t of the skip
My point was never about skipping reaping
Trolling? Hello?
Which reaping, the last one?
My point was that skipping the beginning is not important enough
Your point was that skipping the first pack was pointless
Poor pathing happens all the time
Or a waste rather
Yes, that has nothing to do with reaping
But you dont skip within 6 minutes
Ur just saving time for nothing
But it's clearly not a waste if you save the last reaping...
Saving time to account for fuck ups later on.
Don't fuck up
Minimizing trash we have to kill
Ideally yes, but mistakes happen. Lag happens. I’ve leapt through the floor on the last boss because of a bug. Having the extra time because of the skips helped
It's not pointless even if you dont 2/3 it. You can use that time in your next run
Your logic is so flawed
I can’t control that. But I can maximize the amount of time Incase something outside of my control fucks me over
Like if you have the shroud. Fucking use it. Now if your arguement is to form with a rogue for it. Then that's kind of a different conversation altogether
Shit.happens.jpeg
There are things beyond your control
Gotta be trolling
Wow, like every other game, isn’t perfect.
There are bugs. I didn’t know I could leap and land up under the floor on the final boss before I did it
We had to wipe because of that. The extra time meant we didn’t deplete the key and could do it on time
Ur right shit happens, like a bug or even rl, but if it's something u can control and u decide to not pay attention that's on u
I’m confused where the whole “you’re not going to 2 chest 15+” comes from
I don’t think anybody disagrees with that
Like ur argument literally has u killing more things
@heavy chasm if youve never had a leap bug you aint using it enough
pretty sure ive 2 chested 17 toS
You seem to have the mentality of I’m going to smash my self in the head to show how tough I am. And everyone says but why would you hit yourself in the head? And your response is don’t be a pussy
the rings in jadefire can get you stuck and you start bouncing straight up
I’ve had it to, just not in TOS. But yeah, how do you account for a bug other than build in more leeway
I'm not going to do something that has no clear advantage
TLDR - agree to disagree
His head is so strong!
Yeah my head is strong
His skull maybe
Look how much he’s smashing it into mobs for no reason
Brain not so much
We dumb pussies
I'm very stupid and a troll because I don't want to use a skip
Hey lads I'm gonna run a race later today but I'm pretty confident I'll run flawlessly so I'm just gonna walk the first few meters.
Hur hur
no1 is saying ur stupid
Shall we also point and laugh
we're just saying there is a clear advantage to the skip
There isnt
Your just stubborn
I’m not saying that man. I disagree that there isn’t a clear benefit
@signal plover it’s even worse.
It’s im going to run a quarter mile first because it’ll be fine for the mile race
U skipped reaping and u got what from it?
Idk how else to say it man
Do I only want one BoM trait?
Isn't the stupid race metaphor more, "I expect to lose first place by 4 minutes and beat third place by 3 minutes so there's no point saving 90 seconds"?
