p u g s

ionic fern
#

Doesn't matter.
I just tell them "Don't touch the spotter" and we fine.

#

🤷

brittle owl
#

spotter makes things giga easy yeah

#

ends up badly tbh

ionic fern
#

Idk

brittle owl
#

esp at that key range

ionic fern
#

Hasn't so far.

#

Maybe i'm just super lucky with pug's.

rapid trench
#

On 15 you can just mow everything down tho

brittle owl
#

not really

#

there's alot of people that get to 1.5/1.6 k rio in an easy week

#

and they don't actually know how to play

rapid trench
#

Using the spotters requires more skill than mowing shit down with 410+ ilvl welfare gear tho

brittle owl
#

the spotter is stupid easy to use 🤷

#

i just accept the reality that people are mongs

rapid trench
#

Especially on the healer and during weeks like grievous

brittle owl
#

on grievous weeks pugging is a gamble anyway

rapid trench
#

Im not arguing that people arent mongs btw

brittle owl
#

cause success is dictated heavily by the healers ability

#

i figured you weren't

#

but like, mowing stuff down isn't something you get to experience too often

#

alot of times you get a rogue yeah, but he's a fotm reroller and does less damage than a tank on ST

#

and he finds some sort of bullshit excuse like

#

'lol outlaw doesnt have st damage'

rapid trench
#

True Im spoiled I dont really pug myself

neon tangle
#

@brittle owl as a FOTM rogue reroller I’m offended

#

Mostly due to the volume of horrible FOTM reroll prot warriors I run in to

spice ferry
#

I don’t do keys without guild anymore

sand summit
#

Is there a block cap?

spice ferry
#

What’s the point putting yourself through half an hour with shitters

ionic fern
#

No, no block cap @sand summit

neon tangle
#

@spice ferry my guild has 2 people who are OK at m+

sand summit
#

@ionic fern thank you

neon tangle
#

But overall a better experience pugging

spice ferry
#

Yikes

#

I’m the lowest doing like 13/14s in my guild just for weekly in mine

#

Average key is probably 18/19 haha

#

Kinda lost motivation with keys, not really had time to do much in game outside of raid + weeklys across my toons

ionic fern
#

We got 6 9 people in total over 2k in the guild. 😦

brittle owl
#

get this

#

i'm the highest io scored

#

at 1.7k

#

😂

#

i have a dh alt that i barely played outside of first 3 weeks of S2

#

still higher io than most of my guild

spice ferry
#

What is required for 2k? Like all keys at x lvl?

brittle owl
#

18

#

or so

#

or 17's and a few 18 idk, score scales up alot after 15

ionic fern
#

Jeh, roughly all 17's with like 2 18's in the mix

spice ferry
#

Yeh I kinda lose track of what scores mean beyond 15 haha

ionic fern
#

Or all 17's 2 chested.

#

😄

spice ferry
#

I wish there was more incentive to push further. A few extra pulls on the azerite slot machine isn’t enough imo

#

I’d love to see tmog or something tied to doing 10/15/20 in time each season

ionic fern
#

Jeah, that'd be great.

#

I just enjoy it tho so ..

brittle owl
#

tmog for achievements would be awsome

spice ferry
#

I enjoy it, but like

#

No tangible in game reward makes me lose interest over time

brittle owl
#

get 1 tint at 10's, second at 15's, third at 20's

spice ferry
#

Exactly

#

Literally take the pvp system

brittle owl
#

yup

spice ferry
#

And apply to m+

#

Done

#

Glad mounts for timing highest key on realm

#

Or something

limpid kite
#

Or give back the repair bill

brittle owl
#

nah

ionic fern
#

I'd be happy with that tbh.

#

😂

brittle owl
#

lmao

#

😂

#

idk anything outside cosmetic non tradeable rewards is iffy

ionic fern
#

Sure i guess. Never really cared for transmogs or other schenanigans. 😦

#

I'm probably in the minority tho so. .

limpid kite
#

I did kr11 with :Pepega: team and after 1 and half hour I got no loot FeelsBadMan and my repair was around 3k

ionic fern
#

That's the thing that tilts me the most.
Did a +10? Gz, here's a 400 ilvl.
Did a +23? Gz, here's a 400 ilvl.

spice ferry
#

I just like being able to throw on a tmog and remembering what I did to earn it

ionic fern
#

😂

brittle owl
#

nah loot scaling continuously with key level would nulify raiding

#

the loot as is feels appropriate tbh

spice ferry
#

Like using the challenge mode appearances reminding me of the guys I used to run with

limpid kite
#

Did a +9? Here is your iLVL 420 titanforged trinket for the last dps

spice ferry
#

Nah you just get what... 3 pieces of loot

brittle owl
#

the only bad part is that you need a 3rd party addon to epeen

ionic fern
#

I honestly don't care about raiding. 😂

spice ferry
#

I’d like tf to not exist below a 10

ionic fern
#

That.

brittle owl
#

i'd like tf and wf to not exist

spice ferry
#

We all had to grind up from 370 to 400

brittle owl
#

period

spice ferry
#

I mean yeh, but that ain’t happening

brittle owl
#

they are hinting at removing TF

spice ferry
#

Nah

#

Won’t happen

brittle owl
#

having just wf would be a giga improvement

spice ferry
#

Restricting and limiting it sure, but they love the system

brittle owl
#

i don't think they do tbh

#

but

spice ferry
#

Ion gets way too hard over it

brittle owl
#

a LARGE portion of the player base does

spice ferry
#

Every time he talks about it

brittle owl
#

most of the playerbase actually

spice ferry
#

Likes it?

brittle owl
#

ya

#

it;s easy ilvl

ionic fern
#

Ofc, it's fun seeing people who only run 5-10 keys be higher than me in ilvl.

spice ferry
#

I’ve never had a conversation with anyone that I play with who said “I think tf is fine as is”

brittle owl
#

disregard the obvious bubble you're playing in

spice ferry
#

On disc/ reddit sure

brittle owl
#

most people don't raid or do m+

#

or do any relevant content outside of ingame LFG tool

#

had a friend that played wow sometime during my 7 year hiatus

#

and he was like

#

"wow is easy i did everything in the game after 3 months"

#

by that he meant LFR

#

😂

spice ferry
#

I’ve raided in guilds who didn’t get aotc in a tier and guilds who got ce within the last two expacs. I can’t think of anyone who was happy with lfr over 2 expacs

#

But yeh, bubbles

ionic fern
#

There's a ton of casuals in the game definetly.

brittle owl
#

casual =/= bad

spice ferry
#

Casuals do not need nor benefit from tf

#

So why does it exist for them

brittle owl
#

there's alot of bad players

#

the amount of time you spend ingame is irelevant

spice ferry
#

Oh I know haha

limpid kite
#

I just wanna get that red rune when I got 0 loot from m+

brittle owl
#

casual is a buzzword for shit players

spice ferry
#

Yep

brittle owl
#

to argue that they are underperfroming because those that do OBVIOUSLY play way more than them

spice ferry
#

You can play casually and get ce

brittle owl
#

exactly

spice ferry
#

Or play casually and be 2k+

#

Hell I play... 6.5 hours a week and should still get ce this tier

brittle owl
#

theres literally a ton of 6 hr/week guilds that get CE

spice ferry
#

Presuming they don’t bust out 8.2 sooner than anyone expects

brittle owl
#

and there are "casual"guilds that play 9+ hours a week and get AoTC at the end of the tier

spice ferry
#

And I fucked around in a 3/9 guild for 2 months

#

I hit 50 neck ASAP then raidlog and do my weekly

brittle owl
#

farming neck😖

rapid trench
#

Well it used to be a long time ago that time invested equaled character progression

#

But this isnt the case these days

brittle owl
#

that hasn't been the case since wrath

#

you could argue even since BC

rapid trench
#

Yea but somehow casual is still a cover word for shit players

quiet star
#

How can i see the chance to critically block?

spice ferry
#

It was easy, can play at work and clear all ap quests in 30/45

sick sentinel
#

@quiet star it's literally your mastery%

#

Assuming you have shield block or last stand up

quiet star
#

thanks

orchid token
#

I think you fix TF by just making sure the TF cap is the same as mythic base ilvl

#

then nerf the chance overall

#

the only time ive ever gotten tilted at titanforge is when I see someone doing low content who has a higher item level than me for something juicy like a good trinket

#

as long as the best they can get is the same as what I get

#

im ok with that

#

because a few normal or heroic raiders running around with 1 or 2 base mythic ilvl pieces doesnt bother me

#

but them getting a 425 TF while im stuck with 415 on something juicy is not right

#

even if the rest of their gear sucks

sick sentinel
#

Strong agree

orchid token
#

apart from that i think the system is fine

#

cut the chance for it to happen in half and cap it at mythic base ilvl and the system's positives remain in place for everyone while the negatives for high level players are removed

spice ferry
#

So what, if it’s not mythic raid, tf cap is 415?

orchid token
#

yeah

spice ferry
#

If it’s mythic raid, tf cap is 425?

orchid token
#

no

#

cap overall is 415

#

so mythic raiders dont need to care about TF

lime mantle
#

What if you got tokens for doing high level content to force ilvl upgrades on gear 🤔

orchid token
#

they just get capped loot baseline

spice ferry
#

Yeh I would t mind that

swift pier
#

titanforger vendor would be nice

spice ferry
#

It then the game loses a tonne of replay ability

swift pier
#

put 2 normal pieces to increase a piece by 5ilvls

#

would make sense

spice ferry
#

Which is something they’d definitely take into account

orchid token
#

i think the downsides of having loot titanforge above base mythic ilvl are bigger than the downsides of people finishing their toons

#

people got BIS in WOD and before and nobody stopped playing because of it

lime mantle
#

^^^

orchid token
#

its a made up problem the devs made up on their own

spice ferry
#

But from a player retention lvl?

orchid token
#

nobody quit because they got BIS in every slot

#

ever

#

that has literally never happened

spice ferry
#

Yeh true

orchid token
#

i know ion cited it in his titanforge blog

#

but its not a real thing

sick sentinel
#

Ay that's where you're wrong

spice ferry
#

The people who get perfect bis do not quit haha

orchid token
#

people who get perfect bis keep raiding to flex parses

spice ferry
#

Because to get bis you’re massively invested anyway

#

And are a 12/12 month sub

sick sentinel
#

We literally had a guy is firelands get his bis, he pvped for a bit and fucked around and then he was like "see you next tier"

#

And we DID see him next tier though

spice ferry
#

Exception not the rule imo

sick sentinel
#

To be fair

#

Necrys' idea sounds really good

lime mantle
#

The people who’d quit with perfect bis have already quitter becaus they can no longer get bis lmao

sick sentinel
#

For many different reasons

spice ferry
#

*^^^^^^

sick sentinel
#

LMAO @lime mantle

spice ferry
#

Yeh I like that mythic raiding would provide the best gear

#

It would encourage more people to challenge themselves and try it

sick sentinel
#

The other thing this would do is slow down gear inflation

spice ferry
#

What they need to fix imo is the first 1/2/3 bosses being a fucking meme

#

Like 2/8 uldir and 3/9 bod are stupid easy

sick sentinel
#

YES PLEASE

lime mantle
#

Jaina as fist boss

spice ferry
#

And then it’s like oh boy that difficulty jump

sick sentinel
#

What I have been saying this whole tier

lime mantle
#

🤔

sick sentinel
#

First boss mythic, or at least fucking second boss

#

Opulence

spice ferry
#

The difference between grong/jade (also who though that was a fucking good idea) then oppu... wow

sick sentinel
#

If you can't get opulence, then you do not deserve mythic loot and fuck you

spice ferry
#

Yeah I agree. But there are countless guilds bashing their heads into mythic because they got 3/9 relatively easy

#

And 4/9 is a big jump

sick sentinel
#

"We're a small mythic guild progressing"

ionic fern
#

It's like that every tier tho.

jade holly
#

Because opulance is personal responsiblity

sick sentinel
#

"What's your prog"

#

3/9

spice ferry
#

And I’m saying that I dislike that

lime mantle
#

Light >Literally winter grasp piñata
Jade>Sorta hard but heroic tier
grong>see champs, but more damage
Opulence>WELCOME TO DIE

sick sentinel
#

Not a mythic guild then is it

jade holly
#

You can pug opulance tho tbh

spice ferry
#

First three are entirely yolo whatever, oppu is hella personal responsibility

#

I still think oppu is easy, but idk

#

But the jump is real

sick sentinel
#

You still need to use your brain

brittle owl
#

everything is relatively easy if you have the mental capacity do complete a puzzle without a reference photo

#

but some people don't

#

a shocking amount of people actually don't

spice ferry
#

Yeh but being 3/9 leads people to think they are capable, and then all of a sudden that dream is crushed because 4/9 is what a mythic boss should be

brittle owl
#

alot of people think they are capable

sick sentinel
#

To be fair

brittle owl
#

when in reality they are either boosted or have had their hands held

sick sentinel
#

My gf is 5/9 on her ret without opulence

#

Like she did fine on conclave and on rastakhan

spice ferry
#

Can’t say much myself... I’ll be getting ce without a mekka kill 😛

brittle owl
#

feels non dk man

sick sentinel
#

And they have been reaching 20-30% pretty regularly on mekka

spice ferry
#

Feels dk main

#

Poached for 3/9 casual guild

oblique garnet
#

4/9 on mythic is a joke

spice ferry
#

For stormwall

sick sentinel
#

But she "can't do opulence"

brittle owl
#

i can understand that tbh

spice ferry
#

I think oppu should have been before conc

oblique garnet
#

I pugged on my shaman yesterday and we oneshotted first 4 bosses withour comms

brittle owl
#

for the life of me, i couldnt parse on jadefire

spice ferry
#

Though I saw conc for 30? As a reclear

brittle owl
#

took me like 6-7 kills

sick sentinel
#

She says that she can't because when they joined those guys after they had it on farm

brittle owl
#

to figure out how

jade holly
#

Opulance should be harder tbh

sick sentinel
#

So she did fine on conc and rasta and doing fine on mekka because she progressed it with the guild

jade holly
#

You barely have to do gem management

spice ferry
#

Jade parse was ez for dk. Bonestorm + grong + razdunk ezpz holds

oblique garnet
#

Opulence as dps is just your basic awarness check

brittle owl
#

gems are the easy part

spice ferry
#

Golds*

sick sentinel
#

And she learned from her and the others' mistakes

jade holly
#

So you dont even get to use the mechanics to their full potential

#

Gem*

spice ferry
#

I really disliked how long passage took on grong

brittle owl
#

ye idk on paladin that was my last 99 parse, and arguably my worst lol

spice ferry
#

On oppu*

jade holly
#

They could have made op so much better

spice ferry
#

Passages should have been half as long

oblique garnet
#

Its not a bad fight

spice ferry
#

And p2 linger

brittle owl
#

for some reason jadefire dps optimization eluded me for a full month+

spice ferry
#

Fight woulda been cool

oblique garnet
#

As a boss its nice

spice ferry
#

It’s cool I just found corridors boring af

oblique garnet
#

As tank the fight is just boring

spice ferry
#

Like the gems in p2 it’s fun

brittle owl
#

they are boring as a tank

#

and p2 is fun cuz you can mongo dps

#

esp on warr/pala/veng

oblique garnet
#

P2 is also quite boring

jade holly
#

Needs a hp buff to make people use gems efficiently

spice ferry
#

It’s just shit that you go through what... 4mins? Of shit to get to the fun stuff

brittle owl
#

big numbers

oblique garnet
#

Sure its big numbers

#

But all you have to do

#

Is just stand there

brittle owl
#

save cds for add phases

sick sentinel
#

Do you know what's fun in opulence

brittle owl
#

and just have 1 opal

ionic fern
#

Isn't that like 80% of the fights as a tank?

sick sentinel
#

Outdpsing the fire

ionic fern
#

Just standing there?

spice ferry
#

That’s 80% of all fights as tank let’s be real

sick sentinel
#

You make him go in the next room before the dance

brittle owl
#

raid tanking in general is p boring outside of dps optimisation

oblique garnet
#

Pretty much

brittle owl
#

or cheesing mechanics

spice ferry
#

If you’re not dps optimising as a tank.. why are you tanking

ionic fern
#

There's plenty of tanks who don't care about dps optimising.

brittle owl
#

yeah

#

beats me why but

oblique garnet
#

Opulence doesnt even do damage

brittle owl
#

like, i legit dunno how and when they got that mentality

spice ferry
#

They’ve always had that

#

I got into so many arguments with my old tank

brittle owl
#

probably veteran players that played like actual shite in early expacs

spice ferry
#

I got 99s, he got sub 10 parses

brittle owl
#

bUt I TaEk LeSs DaHmAgE

spice ferry
#

Maybe the occasional 15

sick sentinel
#

I know many people that say "I'm a tank I'm not supposed to do damage"

spice ferry
#

Reeeeee that mentality

#

So much ree

rapid trench
#

Bring back vengeance and ill care more about tank dps again

brittle owl
#

these plebs were probably just doing MC in vanilla and maybe heroic dungeons in TBC

#

"lul i am oldschool player"

sick sentinel
#

One of them asked me if he should take never surrender when ip was getting off cd

brittle owl
#

they never got to the point where threat management actually mattered

sick sentinel
#

Also the same guy that wanted to try dragon roar

spice ferry
#

Y I K E S

sick sentinel
#

And also had no idea how to play the game but wanted to mythic raid

#

I told him to read the guides/resources

brittle owl
#

if a player is in the boosted/casual as an excuse mentality

#

they will never try to improve

sick sentinel
#

But he doesn't understand english that much, he has only a basic knowledge

brittle owl
#

so you're wasting your breath

sick sentinel
#

Fucking greeks lmao

spice ferry
#

God it must be tough being eu sometimes

brittle owl
#

nah

spice ferry
#

I take for granted never not playing with people who speak my language natively

rapid trench
#

Being eu is pretty great

sick sentinel
#

I mean

brittle owl
#

it's an easy triage tbh

sick sentinel
#

I'm greek as well

brittle owl
#

if you don't speak english very well but are playing on an english server

sick sentinel
#

This guy is the minority

brittle owl
#

chances are you're pretty shit

spice ferry
#

Having language based servers lol

sick sentinel
#

To be fair

brittle owl
#

theres diff lang servers for a reason

spice ferry
#

I’m oce... we have a few Asian guilds and that’s it haha

worn vector
rapid trench
#

Theres plenty good players with weak english playing english realms

brittle owl
#

and they're no meme, there's alot of top 20 guilds from diff lang realms

sick sentinel
#

Twilight's hammer and twisting nether are kind of greek servers

oblique garnet
#

Yes just look at method players

#

They dont speak english well 8)

brittle owl
#

rogerbrown does tho

#

kappa

sick sentinel
#

@worn vector THAT'S SO FUCKING CUTE HOLY SHIT

spice ferry
#

You really can’t ever use method in this kinda discussion, they’re entirely their own beast

oblique garnet
#

Pfft

#

Pieces is better

rapid trench
#

^

sweet kettle
#

but i actually dont wanna loose

oblique garnet
#

Once again proven by 2 boss tier who the real champs are

brittle owl
#

they're all good 🤷

brittle owl
#

everyone in the top 5 is good, it's just salt to say otherwise

#

like near the same level of good

spice ferry
#

Hahahahaha omg

oblique garnet
#

Ofc the top 5 is good

spice ferry
#

Yeh there really can’t be that much variation at the absolute top

brittle owl
#

obv you can consider the top 100 good as well, just not WF competitive

oblique garnet
#

But even they have some players who are not that great

rapid trench
#

Theyre not near the same level good clearly

brittle owl
#

in any competition

rapid trench
#

Cause otherwise youd routinely have shakeups within the top 5

brittle owl
#

the differences needed to win are minuscule

rapid trench
#

And this isnt the case at all

#

Its method and then theres a gap

brittle owl
#

fair enough i guess

rapid trench
#

For non filler raids

#

Not to take anything away from pieces ofc

oblique garnet
#

I honestly believe pieces could actually give method run for their money but they dont day raid as much as method does

rapid trench
#

Agreed

spice ferry
#

Yeh I was just about to say. Pieces schedule is way lighter

sick sentinel
#

Keep in mind

spice ferry
#

If it was same across both, it’d be interesting

sick sentinel
#

Method has the resources to literally play all day

#

Sponsors etc

brittle owl
#

thats the thing with wow

spice ferry
#

And this is what I mean by you can’t compare other guilds to method

brittle owl
#

if you can play it as a proffession, you have a big advantage

oblique garnet
#

They dont get enough money from wow

#

Alone

brittle owl
#

like if you're a streamer

#

evidently

spice ferry
#

Method is it’s own beast because of sponsors/streaming etc

brittle owl
#

but WoW is their main claim to fame

oblique garnet
#

There are few method core players who have full time jobs

brittle owl
#

yeah but for the most part they're not jobs that req too much involvement/commitement

#

like cayna is a butcher afaik

#

punch in punch out, career options limited and minimal responsibility

#

not saying butcher works is bad

#

but it's a good job to sustain his WoW hobby

oblique garnet
#

Xirips works in an office iirc

brittle owl
#

as compared to being a developer for instance

sick sentinel
#

Josh :)

oblique garnet
#

Josh is an idiot

#

Good healer

#

But dumb as shit

spice ferry
#

I’d rather have the dev job. Clock in a bunch of hours before tier, slowly drip feed that work to clients over prog, then back to normal once boss dead

brittle owl
#

josh is smarter than people think tbh.

#

complete autist tho

oblique garnet
#

Smart when it comes to wow

spice ferry
#

A clock in clock out doesn’t like you taking a month off (in Australia anyway)

brittle owl
#

EU you have 20smthing days off a year in most countries

#

so it's a non issue

oblique garnet
#

Its not like that

spice ferry
#

In aus you (should) have 4 weeks holiday

#

In any decent job

#

So yeh, 20

oblique garnet
#

You cant just take the days off when you want

brittle owl
#

yeah that's what i meant

spice ferry
#

But yeh ^

brittle owl
#

plus like national/religious holidays

oblique garnet
#

Religious holidays?

brittle owl
#

so it ends up being 1-2 months of workdays without actual work

oblique garnet
#

Christmas?

brittle owl
#

i mean like christmas n shit

spice ferry
#

In aus that would be sinking beer

sick sentinel
#

Easter

brittle owl
#

toussaint

spice ferry
#

Requires multiple national holidays throughout the year

brittle owl
#

mardi gras

#

depends on country

#

and dominant religion

oblique garnet
#

Depending on the profession you might still have to work on both christmas and easter

brittle owl
#

yeah but they aren't that common

#

and usually in the service industry

oblique garnet
#

Yeah

spice ferry
#

Service industry 🤢

oblique garnet
#

But its with double pay + overtime etc

brittle owl
#

^

oblique garnet
#

So you end up making 4 days worth of money from one day

brittle owl
#

by service industry i am including stuff like IT support btw

oblique garnet
#

Nah

#

It support doesnt work in christmas

brittle owl
#

depends

oblique garnet
#

They are never actually there when you need them

brittle owl
#

they do more often than not

#

but it depends on what they're actually supporting

#

if it's vital

oblique garnet
#

On like a factory for example

brittle owl
#

they will do shifts

#

in a factory its irelevant

oblique garnet
#

They are not there during major holidays

brittle owl
#

if the factory is closed

#

why would they be there

oblique garnet
#

Nono the factory is not closes

#

Closed

brittle owl
#

aren't they at least on call

ionic fern
#

Depends on the company.

oblique garnet
#

Its almost all outsourced to cheaper countries

brittle owl
#

ofc it depends on company

oblique garnet
#

So they have only like few it support working in premises

brittle owl
#

some companies know how to do disaster/damage prevention

#

some don't

#

and only do disaster management

spice ferry
#

Whenever anyone talks about work in eu, it always sounds like you all work for huge companies. Are small businesses not really a thing?

brittle owl
#

depends on what you mean by small business

#

do you mean a business without know-how

I mean business with small employee numbers

brittle owl
#

well ofc there are

honest canopy
#

Any EU Clappas wanna come a ML11?

#

Allowed to dipps

ionic fern
#

At work

#

.:(

brittle owl
#

but what does that have to do with what we're talking

spice ferry
#

It doesn’t really, i was just curious. Don’t talk to many eu people

honest canopy
#

Bah

#

I am bored, wanna do a random key

night valve
#

I have problems with high uptime shield block in mythic +. What yours usually at the end?

ionic fern
#

o.o

#

Depends on the pulls/dungeons/duration

#

You should not check the overall uptime anyways.

brittle owl
#

^

ionic fern
#

Are there any more specific issues @night valve ?

brittle owl
#

overall uptime of anything in a dungeon is mostly irrelevant/missleading

#

except maybe potions

night valve
#

Sure, i understand that. But the rotation your using for shield block, how does it go? Like using 3x shield block then last stand, and then shield block again?

ionic fern
#

Roughly.

spice ferry
#

I mean you could look at uptime during combat?

ionic fern
#

If you need that much SB in a row.

spice ferry
#

That would be a relevant piece of info

quiet star
#

Have i selected the right traits? My available traits kinda suck 😦 this would be for raiding, not m+

brittle owl
#

if you need more than that you really should get better dps imo

#

mob packs shouldnt live longer than 1-1.2 mins

ionic fern
#

Head seems fine, shoulders i'd take either UF or Heed my call, chest i'd use Blightborne/Gutripper - these are all more DPS focused traits so if you are unfamiliar with the class or have issues surviving then you can keep on using defensive options.

#

@quiet star

sick sentinel
#

I would go earthlink>gutripper personally

#

Better for aoe

ionic fern
#

Not many raid fights with a lot of AoE tho.

brittle owl
#

ehm

sick sentinel
#

Oooh sorry

#

He said raiding

brittle owl
#

bod has alot of cleave

#

most fights have cleave actually

quiet star
#

its for jaina, im a DK main but im tired of monk

sick sentinel
#

Gutripper for execute

brittle owl
#

^

quiet star
#

and they wont let me dk on jaina

ionic fern
#

😂

#

Feels bad.

brittle owl
#

at this point its kinda silly

#

you can do jaina on any tank now without much struggle

quiet star
#

looking to give the healers the least amount of heart attacks tho

spice ferry
#

Bert are you from barthilas?

quiet star
#

nope

sand condor
#

So i have a pretty good chance at standing in for mythic jaina on wednesday. Does anyone have any specific things that i need to care for as a protwar in that fight?

ionic fern
#

Not sure how far you're in on the fight.

#

If only doing p1 then nothing else than keep SB up and don't nuke people with Avalanches.

sick sentinel
#

If you struggle to move the bitch

#

charge her and then run

#

And she will follow

spice ferry
#

Weird, there is a bert, who also tanks and just started jaina haha

sand condor
#

I think they’ve gotten to wall phase

worthy dagger
#

i go full haste on my prot

#

meticulous, gizmo, OP you name it

sick sentinel
#

It's a good life style to keep

#

Lost my op and I miss it

ionic fern
#

Can't miss something i never had.

#

😦

honest canopy
#

Ree

#

I need more friends

#

Friends i really wanna beat this druid on dipps thats 20 ilvls over me, when i go on my druid. Someone cba come game with me? Il carry your alts in 2 keys whenever you wanna ^_^

worthy dagger
#

with high haste it feels like you have bladestorm on your prot every time you cast devastate

#

except that it does low damage and its st and really crap

#

plus your auto attacks can have a 1.4 speed which is good for procs if you have devastator

#

for the kappa parses

runic mica
#

Anyone have any useful ovale tank scripts?

brisk ferry
#

what is ovale?

worthy dagger
#

he means ovulate

hidden linden
#

Ovale is an abomination

#

And discovering that it also exists for tanks

#

Is even worse

sick sentinel
#

Wtf is ovale

hidden linden
#

Rotation helper

#

Paste the script / APL in the addon

#

And push the button it tells you to

sick sentinel
#

Wtf

ionic fern
#

o.o

sick sentinel
#

Imagine being that bad

hidden linden
#

The main issue with it is that it does not teach a player how to think

#

I can understand wanting to use it to "learn a class"

#

But that's a terrible way to do it in my opinion

sick sentinel
#

Rotation helpers are literal garbage

hidden linden
#

While I agree

#

I wouldn't shit on people using them

#

I'd rather teach them why this kind of addon is really bad

#

if they still want to use it while knowing why they shouldn't

#

well

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

sick sentinel
#

neat thing: When Vision procs, even though ava only lasts a a handful of seconds, BoM procs for the full 20

hardy geyser
#

That’s hot

#

And in for a nerf xd

sick sentinel
#

not so neat thing: Vision can proc while ava is up (or you can use ava when vision procs) but instead of adding the duration it just brings it to a cap of 20 for each :/

mortal brook
#

also not great thing, if ava comes off cd but the visions procs, you cant real ava until the proc is over

sick sentinel
#

you can, but again it caps at 20s duration

#

so you wast time

mortal brook
#

weird, it like, doesnt let me activate it. same with AW

sick sentinel
#

i havn't tried it on todays version if they changed

#

as of yesterday around this time it worked

mortal brook
#

I miss Engine already D:

sick sentinel
#

At that point

#

but it also wasn't displaying the whole "10s off each time this procs"

#

and it now does

#

Wait what do you mean you miss engine

#

engine as of right now has been replaced by

#

sec

#

reality shift

mortal brook
#

it got replaced by a shit tier

sick sentinel
#

Wtf

#

"creat a beacon at target location, after 3s reloacte to this beacon and deal fire damage to nearby enemies"

worthy dagger
#

which one is the rage one:

mortal brook
worthy dagger
#

that consumes 50% less rage

sick sentinel
#

Lucid dreams

worthy dagger
#

that thing is good

sick sentinel
#

its not a full consumes 50% less rage

#

its a CHANCE to refund 50% rage

#

havn't tested the ppm on it tho

#

so it could be complete garbage

worthy dagger
#

does it work on prot warrior?

mortal brook
#

yes

sick sentinel
#

yes

worthy dagger
#

then we are broken

jolly iron
#

is there any situation in which stam flask>str flask

worthy dagger
#

that with AM

mortal brook
#

eh, we were exactly rage starved

sick sentinel
#

there seems to be stronger passives tbh

#

CR build

#

Kappa

worthy dagger
#

then enforced BoM even more with those procs

#

they*

sick sentinel
#

we get into the Fray. but instead of haste its Verse and a free IV per target near us

#

that sounds super stronk

worthy dagger
#

i prefer haste

sick sentinel
#

i mean you keep into the fray as well

worthy dagger
#

😮

sick sentinel
#

this is an essence

mortal brook
#

aegis minor will be good yeah

lime mantle
#

OwO

#

This gonna be silly

sick sentinel
#

also if you go low the verse amount doubles

#

not that you go that low often lul

mortal brook
#

aegis minor will compete with sphere and worldvein depending on target uptime

sick sentinel
#

i was super excited about dynamo

#

till i saw it was magic only :/

#

perma Archimondes hatred reborn woulda been ❤

#

but iwth only magic damage i doubt itll be consumed that often

#

I saw the essences when they got revealed

#

I have no idea of what you are talking about rn

ebon geyser
#

Anyone with some free time that can look at my logs in the log channel. Feel free to PM me.Ty.

sick sentinel
#

"every 15s gain a null barrier absorbing the next 35k magic damage taken for 10s. When it expires it implodes dealing damage equal to amount it absorbed"

#

so a smol AHR, but only for magic damage

worthy dagger
#

nothing can beat vision

sick sentinel
#

yah im feeling Vision main, Aegis/Sphere or Aegis/crucible passives

#

depending on the ppm of crucibles crit and bonus dmg

worthy dagger
#

vision will be main simply because it lowers Ava cooldown and if it procs and you have 3 BoM youre gonna have +1500 mastery

mortal brook
#

i think worldvein passive would out perform crucible in general, and outperform aegis in raid

sick sentinel
#

is Engine permagone? or did they just temp disable it

mortal brook
#

looks gone gone. it was op af compared to everything else tho. so you know, typical blizz killing the best stuff for the sake of player agency

sick sentinel
#

shame

#

i did notice the original unlock requirements (Mechadungeon) are now shifted onto vision

mortal brook
#

it was basically a periodic sera lol

sick sentinel
#

and Vision was originally Nazjatar achieve unlocked

worthy dagger
#

all ppm effects can be increased based on haste correct?

#

so technically the more haste you have the higher the chance of procing

sick sentinel
#

i dont think so

#

i think ppm are locked

#

think being the key

worthy dagger
#

theres been times where you overlap procs

mortal brook
#

if its flagged for rppm yes then it scales with haste

sick sentinel
#

RPPM is affected by haste

#

PPM is not

worthy dagger
#

what R stands for

sick sentinel
#

realistic

worthy dagger
#

ok

sick sentinel
#

lol the active for the replacement for engine doens't even work

mortal brook
#

it replaced pph pre mop

modern brook
#

good morning

sick sentinel
#

Hello bull

solid pendant
#

( in m+), how should i treat avoidance on gear? how important is it?

sand egret
#

not important

mortal brook
#

theres no significant aoe dmg going out in any dungeon

sand egret
#

as in, dont sacrifice for it. its the cherry on top

modern brook
#

You might call it

#

Tertiary

sand egret
#

ill take that one

#

8/10

#

👏

mortal brook
#

oh wow, just noticed they updated Worldvein to imba. affects allies with worldvein now. gg mandatory for everyone lol

solid pendant
#

thank you 😃

modern brook
#

190 mainstat isnt worth the locomotive restriction imo

#

especially when there are other options 🤷

sand egret
#

8 yrds is also small

modern brook
#

^

sand egret
#

like the landing circle of HL small

sick sentinel
#

on a patchwerk fight though

lucid bough
#

the stat doesnt stack i think

sick sentinel
#

with all 20 using it

lucid bough
#

so its even worse

mortal brook
#

it does stack

#

and can be concurrent

modern brook
#

ahhh

mortal brook
#

just by yourself you can have several shards active

modern brook
#

🤷

sand egret
#

prob works like Ironfur

lucid bough
#

I read it didnt

#

hum

sand egret
#

multiple stacks with their own timers

#

can overlap

modern brook
#

🤷

#

maybe then

#

IDK im still pretty underwhelmed

sand egret
#

either way, I aint using it

#

boring as fuck

modern brook
#

^

mortal brook
#

what isnt

sand egret
#

id rather shoot a fireball

modern brook
#

^

mortal brook
#

this is the minor

sand egret
#

get cdr

sick sentinel
#

this was the passive

modern brook
#

I'd rather have 16% less cd on avatar 🤷

sand egret
#

i dont take Shimmering Haven for a reason

mortal brook
#

ofc we take visions major, but this is the minor that can party stack

modern brook
#

damn blade

#

You're the fucking JT to my fatone rn

#

we're nsync

sand egret
#

🛡

modern brook
#

🛡

sand egret
#

even of the minors, that is not high at all on my list

#

a) its boring and b) its restrictive at best or c) toxic at worst

mortal brook
#

theres minors that arent boring?

sick sentinel
#

engine

#

rip

mortal brook
#

rip engine

sand egret
#

“y U pLaCe Ur sHarDz THerE!?!”
“Cuz the boss had to move...”

worthy dagger
#

6 minutes dummy

modern brook
#

i mean u cant just be "LOL EVERYTHINGS BORING" thats not an argument nor a conversation worth having 🤷

worthy dagger
#

11 lucid procs

mortal brook
#

that's awful

tired dagger
#

I'd imagine if enough people are using worldvein boon, the drops would get staggered such that it becomes essentially a constant bonus

sick sentinel
#

the only big benefit i saw to lucid was pumping more rage to lower ava cd more

#

but other stuff does that better.. like spheres free haste

mortal brook
#

sphere and aegis good contenders for minors when you can have full uptime on them def

tired dagger
#

Moving the boss (and the melee stack) would drop the buff obviously but it'd start stacking again very quickly, assuming it stacks

mortal brook
#

have confirmed it stacks

sick sentinel
#

next confirmation. is there a cap

tired dagger
#

Though if your entire melee stack is running that they don't need you to also run it in

mortal brook
#

got a group of 3 stacking it, lemme grab more ptr ppl lol

worthy dagger
#

sphere is definitely a good one

sand egret
#

sphere is insane

#

if it works on bosses its even more insane

#

and honestly, Id take Null or Aegis as my 2nd minor

sick sentinel
#

null is conditional on huge magic fights/places

#

like shrine maybe

#

where itll be reliably consumed

#

id hard pass it on freehold

sand egret
#

every dungeon has magic of some kind

mortal brook
#

have 10 ppl with worldvein atm, i have an almost constant +3k str

sand egret
#

itll be better than others, but I welcome the constant buffer for a specific damage type, esp one we cant block

#

its basically a block for a spell every 15 seconds.

#

way more interesting than making rock piles

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

mortal brook
#

i really cant justify 1.5k magic hps vs this amount of uptime on strength lol

#

20 ppl, getting 6k str.

#

this is gonna get nerfed

sick sentinel
#

they'll probably just hard cap how many you can benefit from

mortal brook
#

id hope so. imagine even half those ppl had the active. get bursts of 10k mainstat lol

sick sentinel
#

do the active ones also share the buff?

mortal brook
#

lemme check

sick sentinel
#

the way its worded only the passively summoned ones do

modern brook
#

then they all die to sea spout :^)

mortal brook
#

no its fine, youll prevent 35k of that sea spout

sick sentinel
#

i wonder if the legendary from vision will actually do anything

mortal brook
#

they're all cosmetic

sick sentinel
#

right

#

but rn theres no visual component to it

#

and hoping for a cool ava form is too much

mortal brook
#

turns you into a mechagnome lol

sand egret
#

You should get your Vision checked if you cant see it.

mortal brook
#

yes, the actives also give those with passive the bonus from their actives

#

this needs nerfed tbh

honest canopy
#

I got declined to 2x TD10

#

9/9M, 1.7k rio. Clappa Warrior

#

Asked why

#

"Dont want warrior" , wtf?

worthy dagger
#

its ok i get declined on my guardian and my main has 2.5

#

then i secretly log on my warrior, join the group that i just got declined and drop their key

mortal brook
#

its grevious week i NEED a bdk! pog

worthy dagger
#

jk i dont do that but its actually a good idea

mental scarab
#

😂

modern brook

:^)

worthy dagger
#

prot pal > bdk

olive merlin
#

Bdk way more fun

solid pendant
#

the last bdk i had with me died 7 times to the sharks in sob. it was the funniest m+ ever

worthy dagger
#

bdk is discusting, pallys at least can toss their shield around

#

which is pretty cool honestly

sick sentinel
#

Captain America tanking lmao

worthy dagger
#

you have to admit that its really cool

sick sentinel
#

It is

safe pumice
#

what you think, after prot nerf what will be better for m+, bdk or protection war?

olive merlin
#

I like my warrior and bdk equally..I love bdk thematically.. the bones and decay and that lovely slow

worthy dagger
#

prot war

#

bdk is dead and im happy about it

modern brook
#

wow

#

I'm surprised someone unironically said bdk is fun

worthy dagger
#

"oh i got hit, let me react to that"

modern brook
#

the spec is like 70% stress

sick sentinel
#

@mortal brook you can also give multiple stacks to yourself with the passive

#

the passive solo isn't locked to 1 up at a time

mortal brook
#

i know

#

getting like a 2.2 stack average personally

worthy dagger
#

fun tank is dh

#

but the class is such a potato

#

low damage, low survivability, its awful

Prot war will most likely still be great. yeh clap is getting nerfed. but.. the avatar essence offsets that. if VDH gets an actual mitigation buff it could be top tier. Otherwise prot war will stay at the top.

New affix is a pulsing aoe mob yeah?

ionic fern
#

PRetty sure it's not yet 100% confirmed.

sick sentinel
#

Hi all, I hope you're all doing well^^, I was wonderin, there is apparently going to be a nerf to something related whit thunderclap in the near future, but I haven't been able to find out exactly what it was, anyone know?

#

My guildies have had a mixed output on it so I thought i'd ask here^^

ionic fern
#

@sick sentinel it's a damage reduction to Unstoppable Force.

sick sentinel
#

Much appreciated ❤

exotic spoke
#

Unstoppable force is nerfed from 100% to 50%.

The pins have more info

ionic fern
#

It won't be too much of a issue tho. A small overall damage decrease.

sick sentinel
#

aye,

exotic spoke
#

~6% single target and ~11% for non stupid aoe pulls

#

But dps will also go up with essences

sick sentinel
#

ahh right, they're trying to balance it lulw

exotic spoke
#

I mean, if you didn’t think our dps was getting tuned in some way I don’t know what to say.

Currently with Perfection our dps is going to still be solid imo .

sick sentinel
#

exactly

#

No I obviously expected it, I just expected it to be a bigger nerf LUL

#

we're still gonna out dps dps so it's aight LUL

ionic fern
#

Probably not.

dense flame
#

Is the transition of tanking higher m+ keys into tanking mythic raid challenging?

ionic fern
#

Our "big dick out dps" is coming from reaping right now.

sick sentinel
#

Perhaps,

ionic fern
#

Once reaping goes away we'll be more in line already just because of that.

sick sentinel
#

Right,

dense flame
#

Was asked to possibly start tanking. But only have heroic tanking as a baseline for raid. Seems like a silly question, but thought I’d ask.

ionic fern
#

No, not really @dense flame
As long as you know the fights (check www.tanknotes.tk if you need a refreshner or any of the YT guides) you'll be fine.

#

Also - COMMUNICATE with your co-tank AND healers.

dense flame
#

For sure, appreciate the information.

unborn island
#

We need to have good DPS, it's basically what we bring in terms of utility, most of the other tanks out-utility us, so having slightly better survivability and much better DPS was our niche. I honestly think as gear gets better and pulls get bigger that Gorefiend's will become a massive party DPS cooldown again

exotic spoke
#

Mwahi is right. The hardest thing I’ve had to do this tier is try not to murder dps fucking up mechanics

unborn island
#

I mean, nerf our DPS to shit and we will still be better than DH currently is, and probably equal to monk, without added monk utility (although perhaps easier to kill? IDK how monk mitigation works with magic)

exotic spoke
#

Spell reflect is a very nice niche that some people often forget

unborn island
#

thasstrue

#

I always forget to rationalise things like 'if multiple waterblasts are going off, you're probably not playing at a level where your class matters anyway 😃

exotic spoke
#

I like seeing 1/2 million pop up. Or several hundred thousand

unborn island
#

yeah, that's prob

#

exotic spoke
#

@ionic fern what comp(s) do you usually run with your push group?

#

And actually, i guess that could go for anyone who is pushing high keys. Trying to figure out how to do certain instances / bosses at 20+

ionic fern
#

Rdruid/rogue/vdh/demo lock. Vdh also has rogue so sometimes we double rogue

#

Not vdh..havoc dh

exotic spoke
#

Fair, that’s close to mine. Rdruid, rogue, hdh, spriest

oblique garnet
#

lul demolock

#

just get a shaman

ionic fern
#

He's doing fine and hasn't stopped us yet

exotic spoke
#

More healthstones obv

oblique garnet
#

yeah but the thing is

#

what demo lock does

#

shaman can do better

exotic spoke
#

Ps what’s your demo locks name. I’d love to point a demo lock in my guild to him

#

So he can see how he can improve

#

Late, sometimes it’s the people and not the comp

ionic fern
#

Yeah,but..it's a game and we enjoy eachothers company while still doing adequately high keys

exotic spoke
#

I run with who I run, because of who they are. We can make a comp work decently

oblique garnet
#

ofc

exotic spoke
#

If they don’t like running as shaman and want spriest or demo then so be it

ionic fern
#

But jeah..sham does everything that demo does but better

mortal brook
#

want spriest

sand egret
#

Nah

oblique garnet
#

spriest is really good

sand egret
#

Shaman does everything Demo does but better

oblique garnet
#

blade let it go

#

cmon

sand egret
#

Nah

#

😃

wary gyro
#

But demo can bres

oblique garnet
#

well that is true

sand egret

So can a Shaman...if he dies

just dont die and you dont need brez : )

you're a tank cd

he's still on CD

I'm just saying that's something the demo does better than the shaman

well yeah

Brez is a Druids most mana and GCD efficient heal. Right @lusty bay

and then shaman goes engi and can br

stark fox
#

For high M+ after you get to around 1500 haste, should I be stacking Mastery or Crit?

exotic spoke
#

Crit is very good for m+ because parry.

That said, haste is always good. I don’t understand why you think you should stop at ~1500

#

Also, mastery is a little less valuable becaus eof how much we get from triple BoM

versed widget
#

Yo, can anyone help me out with which stat I will gain most dps from, which I will gain most survivability from, and maybe what I should be aiming for? Atm just following icy veins stats of haste/Vers but I know from maiming resto druid that sometimes you want more dps over more surf. Eg mastery is best healing but haste is dope because it adds dps

#

Also if this info is written somewhere just direct me there

wary gyro
#

More stats is always better if same ilvl prefer haste

versed widget
#

Ok, so pre much just choose ilvl?

wary gyro
#

Yes

versed widget
#

Cheers, that seems easy

wary gyro
#

Outside of a couple trinkets you always want highest ilvl

exotic spoke
#

Pretty much. Maybe not for a ring but yes

fickle urchin
#

just downvalue mastery a bit, and versa a bit, and upvalue the other 2, if given a choice between equal ilvls

exotic spoke
#

Emphasis on maybe

#

I mean, you’ll have slightly different preferences in raids and m+

#

Haste is always going to be priority. Then crit for m+ usually and vers for raids usually

fickle urchin
#

mastery seems a bit meh, with 3x bom

versed widget
#

I’m exclusively playing m+ I should clarify

wary gyro
#

But targeting any specific stat beyond geming/enchanting for haste isnt really needed

exotic spoke
#

^^

#

Use your trinkets to fill in usually

wary gyro
#

All stats are pretty close in value for prot

exotic spoke
#

Truth

#

More stats > fewer slightly better stats

wary gyro
#

Which is why you just go for ilvl in almost all circumstances

worthy dagger
#

u dont need mastery at all when you have 3x BoM

wary gyro
#

Mastery doesnt just stop having value with x3 bom, its value isnt as high but it's still not going to be worth dropping ilvl to get rid of mastery

lusty grotto
#

correct

worthy dagger
#

im just saying mastery is not needed

lusty grotto
#

yeah that's too general for newbies and lurkers

wary gyro
#

^

lusty grotto
#

ieatpuppies is correct though

worthy dagger
#

ilvl > all true

exotic spoke

Yup, we’re all saying the same thing

#

Basically

lusty grotto
#

ya

#

like for example take the CoS trinket

worthy dagger
#

you dont get rage when you parry, correct?

lusty grotto
#

not extra no

#

just the default damage taken rage

#

iirc

exotic spoke
#

I like idol

worthy dagger
#

i like gore-crust + rezan

lusty grotto
#

not idol

#

the mastery one

#

i dont really like it

#

because its just meh

worthy dagger
#

and if i get another haste trink ill use it

exotic spoke
#

Ahh yeah

wary gyro
#

It's not really a tank trinket

lusty grotto
#

considering you could have a haste or crit trinket

#

or even something like idol or diamond

exotic spoke
#

@worthy dagger I may like it because I have the chance of killing people in m+

worthy dagger
#

@exotic spoke ok i agree with you and that makes it worth it

lusty grotto
#

its just an example of how mastery isn't that sought after with 3x BoM

#

also diminishing returns during avatar cause you will have a lot of it

exotic spoke
#

That and some weeks need a little extra survivability - well on some bosses.

lusty grotto
#

but mastery is still valuable on windows without avatar

exotic spoke
#

Wiped twice on UR 20 second boss last night

#

Both times with hero. Fuck grievous

wary gyro
#

As much as we wish otherwise you cant have avatar up 100% of the time

lusty grotto
#

riki i didnt watch that part

wary gyro
#

Yeah that sounds about right for this week

lusty grotto
#

i think i stopped watching when you were setting up the double shroud

#

which is not hard as long as you do both saps correctly

exotic spoke
#

yeah, we were testing it - brand new with rogue and opted for just invis pot

lusty grotto
#

so weird

exotic spoke
#

Fucked the boss - not invis

lusty grotto
#

most pugs know about it

exotic spoke
#

He literally just swapped to rogue from life long mage last week

lusty grotto
#

so i guess your group has never pugged it?

#

with a rogue i mean

exotic spoke
#

I don’t pug. I think only smashed and maybe shad (the DH) pug

lusty grotto
#

i see

wary gyro
#

Why pug if you have a set team

lusty grotto
#

yeah but then you lose out on stuff that is very common place outside of your team's bubble

#

like double sap shroud at the start of ToS

wary gyro
#

Yeah but you dont have to deal with pugging so it evens out

lusty grotto
#

true enough

exotic spoke
#

We thought we could time ToS. But two people died on first boss due to stupid shit

#

Like, I didn’t lose aggro, and melee lizard person fucking meleed the rogue

lusty grotto
#

the rogue?

#

oh

exotic spoke
#

Yes

lusty grotto
#

wait what

exotic spoke
#

Yes exactly

lusty grotto
#

are you sure he just didnt die out of shield?

exotic spoke
#

No, death recap shows melee

lusty grotto
#

🤔

#

and this wasn't at the start?

#

that's def weird

exotic spoke
#

We didn’t know what caused it. Just said fuck it - no point in trying, and went to UR

#

No issues other than the two wipes on second boss.

#

Grievous with tantrum is a bitch

lusty grotto
#

ya you need to plan defensives and tranq there

exotic spoke
#

We had three planned

#

And then the fourth ducked us

#

Oh well, more practice. More tips / tricks we learn the better we’ll be come

zinc spoke
#

Do you stream?
