Idk
esp at that key range
On 15 you can just mow everything down tho
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
Using the spotters requires more skill than mowing shit down with 410+ ilvl welfare gear tho
Especially on the healer and during weeks like grievous
on grievous weeks pugging is a gamble anyway
Im not arguing that people arent mongs btw
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'
True Im spoiled I dont really pug myself
@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
I don’t do keys without guild anymore
Is there a block cap?
What’s the point putting yourself through half an hour with shitters
No, no block cap @sand summit
@spice ferry my guild has 2 people who are OK at m+
@ionic fern thank you
But overall a better experience pugging
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
We got 6 9 people in total over 2k in the guild. 😦
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
What is required for 2k? Like all keys at x lvl?
Jeh, roughly all 17's with like 2 18's in the mix
Yeh I kinda lose track of what scores mean beyond 15 haha
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
tmog for achievements would be awsome
get 1 tint at 10's, second at 15's, third at 20's
yup
Or give back the repair bill
nah
Sure i guess. Never really cared for transmogs or other schenanigans. 😦
I'm probably in the minority tho so. .
I did kr11 with :Pepega: team and after 1 and half hour I got no loot FeelsBadMan and my repair was around 3k
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.
I just like being able to throw on a tmog and remembering what I did to earn it
😂
nah loot scaling continuously with key level would nulify raiding
the loot as is feels appropriate tbh
Like using the challenge mode appearances reminding me of the guys I used to run with
Did a +9? Here is your iLVL 420 titanforged trinket for the last dps
Nah you just get what... 3 pieces of loot
the only bad part is that you need a 3rd party addon to epeen
I honestly don't care about raiding. 😂
I’d like tf to not exist below a 10
That.
i'd like tf and wf to not exist
We all had to grind up from 370 to 400
period
I mean yeh, but that ain’t happening
they are hinting at removing TF
having just wf would be a giga improvement
Restricting and limiting it sure, but they love the system
Ion gets way too hard over it
a LARGE portion of the player base does
Every time he talks about it
most of the playerbase actually
Likes it?
Ofc, it's fun seeing people who only run 5-10 keys be higher than me in ilvl.
I’ve never had a conversation with anyone that I play with who said “I think tf is fine as is”
disregard the obvious bubble you're playing in
On disc/ reddit sure
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
😂
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
There's a ton of casuals in the game definetly.
casual =/= bad
Oh I know haha
I just wanna get that red rune when I got 0 loot from m+
casual is a buzzword for shit players
Yep
to argue that they are underperfroming because those that do OBVIOUSLY play way more than them
You can play casually and get ce
exactly
Or play casually and be 2k+
Hell I play... 6.5 hours a week and should still get ce this tier
theres literally a ton of 6 hr/week guilds that get CE
Presuming they don’t bust out 8.2 sooner than anyone expects
and there are "casual"guilds that play 9+ hours a week and get AoTC at the end of the tier
And I fucked around in a 3/9 guild for 2 months
I hit 50 neck ASAP then raidlog and do my weekly
farming neck😖
Well it used to be a long time ago that time invested equaled character progression
But this isnt the case these days
Yea but somehow casual is still a cover word for shit players
How can i see the chance to critically block?
It was easy, can play at work and clear all ap quests in 30/45
@quiet star it's literally your mastery%
Assuming you have shield block or last stand up
thanks
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
Strong agree
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
So what, if it’s not mythic raid, tf cap is 415?
yeah
If it’s mythic raid, tf cap is 425?
What if you got tokens for doing high level content to force ilvl upgrades on gear 🤔
they just get capped loot baseline
Yeh I would t mind that
titanforger vendor would be nice
It then the game loses a tonne of replay ability
Which is something they’d definitely take into account
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
^^^
its a made up problem the devs made up on their own
But from a player retention lvl?
nobody quit because they got BIS in every slot
ever
that has literally never happened
Yeh true
Ay that's where you're wrong
The people who get perfect bis do not quit haha
people who get perfect bis keep raiding to flex parses
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
Exception not the rule imo
The people who’d quit with perfect bis have already quitter becaus they can no longer get bis lmao
For many different reasons
*^^^^^^
LMAO @lime mantle
Yeh I like that mythic raiding would provide the best gear
It would encourage more people to challenge themselves and try it
The other thing this would do is slow down gear inflation
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
YES PLEASE
Jaina as fist boss
And then it’s like oh boy that difficulty jump
What I have been saying this whole tier
🤔
The difference between grong/jade (also who though that was a fucking good idea) then oppu... wow
If you can't get opulence, then you do not deserve mythic loot and fuck you
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
"We're a small mythic guild progressing"
It's like that every tier tho.
Because opulance is personal responsiblity
And I’m saying that I dislike that
Light >Literally winter grasp piñata
Jade>Sorta hard but heroic tier
grong>see champs, but more damage
Opulence>WELCOME TO DIE
Not a mythic guild then is it
You can pug opulance tho tbh
First three are entirely yolo whatever, oppu is hella personal responsibility
I still think oppu is easy, but idk
But the jump is real
You still need to use your brain
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
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
alot of people think they are capable
To be fair
when in reality they are either boosted or have had their hands held
My gf is 5/9 on her ret without opulence
Like she did fine on conclave and on rastakhan
Can’t say much myself... I’ll be getting ce without a mekka kill 😛
feels non dk man
And they have been reaching 20-30% pretty regularly on mekka
4/9 on mythic is a joke
For stormwall
But she "can't do opulence"
i can understand that tbh
I think oppu should have been before conc
I pugged on my shaman yesterday and we oneshotted first 4 bosses withour comms
for the life of me, i couldnt parse on jadefire
Though I saw conc for 30? As a reclear
took me like 6-7 kills
She says that she can't because when they joined those guys after they had it on farm
to figure out how
Opulance should be harder tbh
So she did fine on conc and rasta and doing fine on mekka because she progressed it with the guild
You barely have to do gem management
Jade parse was ez for dk. Bonestorm + grong + razdunk ezpz holds
Opulence as dps is just your basic awarness check
gems are the easy part
Golds*
And she learned from her and the others' mistakes
I really disliked how long passage took on grong
ye idk on paladin that was my last 99 parse, and arguably my worst lol
On oppu*
They could have made op so much better
Passages should have been half as long
Its not a bad fight
And p2 linger
for some reason jadefire dps optimization eluded me for a full month+
Fight woulda been cool
As a boss its nice
It’s cool I just found corridors boring af
As tank the fight is just boring
Like the gems in p2 it’s fun
they are boring as a tank
and p2 is fun cuz you can mongo dps
esp on warr/pala/veng
P2 is also quite boring
Needs a hp buff to make people use gems efficiently
It’s just shit that you go through what... 4mins? Of shit to get to the fun stuff
big numbers
save cds for add phases
Do you know what's fun in opulence
and just have 1 opal
Isn't that like 80% of the fights as a tank?
Outdpsing the fire
Just standing there?
That’s 80% of all fights as tank let’s be real
You make him go in the next room before the dance
raid tanking in general is p boring outside of dps optimisation
Pretty much
or cheesing mechanics
If you’re not dps optimising as a tank.. why are you tanking
There's plenty of tanks who don't care about dps optimising.
Opulence doesnt even do damage
like, i legit dunno how and when they got that mentality
probably veteran players that played like actual shite in early expacs
I got 99s, he got sub 10 parses
bUt I TaEk LeSs DaHmAgE
Maybe the occasional 15
I know many people that say "I'm a tank I'm not supposed to do damage"
Bring back vengeance and ill care more about tank dps again
these plebs were probably just doing MC in vanilla and maybe heroic dungeons in TBC
"lul i am oldschool player"
One of them asked me if he should take never surrender when ip was getting off cd
they never got to the point where threat management actually mattered
Also the same guy that wanted to try dragon roar
Y I K E S
And also had no idea how to play the game but wanted to mythic raid
I told him to read the guides/resources
if a player is in the boosted/casual as an excuse mentality
they will never try to improve
But he doesn't understand english that much, he has only a basic knowledge
so you're wasting your breath
Fucking greeks lmao
God it must be tough being eu sometimes
nah
I take for granted never not playing with people who speak my language natively
Being eu is pretty great
I mean
it's an easy triage tbh
I'm greek as well
if you don't speak english very well but are playing on an english server
This guy is the minority
chances are you're pretty shit
Having language based servers lol
To be fair
theres diff lang servers for a reason
I’m oce... we have a few Asian guilds and that’s it haha
My mother is learning to tank apparently. She has made notes
Theres plenty good players with weak english playing english realms
and they're no meme, there's alot of top 20 guilds from diff lang realms
Twilight's hammer and twisting nether are kind of greek servers
@worn vector THAT'S SO FUCKING CUTE HOLY SHIT
You really can’t ever use method in this kinda discussion, they’re entirely their own beast
^
but i actually dont wanna loose
Once again proven by 2 boss tier who the real champs are
they're all good 🤷
everyone in the top 5 is good, it's just salt to say otherwise
like near the same level of good
Hahahahaha omg
Ofc the top 5 is good
Yeh there really can’t be that much variation at the absolute top
obv you can consider the top 100 good as well, just not WF competitive
But even they have some players who are not that great
Theyre not near the same level good clearly
in any competition
Cause otherwise youd routinely have shakeups within the top 5
the differences needed to win are minuscule
fair enough i guess
I honestly believe pieces could actually give method run for their money but they dont day raid as much as method does
Agreed
Yeh I was just about to say. Pieces schedule is way lighter
Keep in mind
If it was same across both, it’d be interesting
thats the thing with wow
And this is what I mean by you can’t compare other guilds to method
if you can play it as a proffession, you have a big advantage
Method is it’s own beast because of sponsors/streaming etc
but WoW is their main claim to fame
There are few method core players who have full time jobs
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
Xirips works in an office iirc
as compared to being a developer for instance
Josh :)
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
Smart when it comes to wow
A clock in clock out doesn’t like you taking a month off (in Australia anyway)
Its not like that
You cant just take the days off when you want
yeah that's what i meant
But yeh ^
plus like national/religious holidays
Religious holidays?
so it ends up being 1-2 months of workdays without actual work
Christmas?
i mean like christmas n shit
In aus that would be sinking beer
Easter
toussaint
Requires multiple national holidays throughout the year
Depending on the profession you might still have to work on both christmas and easter
Yeah
Service industry 🤢
But its with double pay + overtime etc
^
So you end up making 4 days worth of money from one day
by service industry i am including stuff like IT support btw
depends
They are never actually there when you need them
they do more often than not
but it depends on what they're actually supporting
if it's vital
On like a factory for example
They are not there during major holidays
aren't they at least on call
Depends on the company.
Its almost all outsourced to cheaper countries
ofc it depends on company
So they have only like few it support working in premises
some companies know how to do disaster/damage prevention
some don't
and only do disaster management
Whenever anyone talks about work in eu, it always sounds like you all work for huge companies. Are small businesses not really a thing?
I mean business with small employee numbers
well ofc there are
but what does that have to do with what we're talking
It doesn’t really, i was just curious. Don’t talk to many eu people
I have problems with high uptime shield block in mythic +. What yours usually at the end?
o.o
Depends on the pulls/dungeons/duration
You should not check the overall uptime anyways.
^
Are there any more specific issues @night valve ?
overall uptime of anything in a dungeon is mostly irrelevant/missleading
except maybe potions
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?
Roughly.
I mean you could look at uptime during combat?
If you need that much SB in a row.
That would be a relevant piece of info
Have i selected the right traits? My available traits kinda suck 😦 this would be for raiding, not m+
if you need more than that you really should get better dps imo
mob packs shouldnt live longer than 1-1.2 mins
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
Not many raid fights with a lot of AoE tho.
ehm
its for jaina, im a DK main but im tired of monk
Gutripper for execute
^
and they wont let me dk on jaina
at this point its kinda silly
you can do jaina on any tank now without much struggle
looking to give the healers the least amount of heart attacks tho
Bert are you from barthilas?
nope
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?
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.
Weird, there is a bert, who also tanks and just started jaina haha
I think they’ve gotten to wall phase
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 ^_^
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
Anyone have any useful ovale tank scripts?
what is ovale?
Ovale is an abomination
And discovering that it also exists for tanks
Is even worse
Wtf is ovale
Rotation helper
Paste the script / APL in the addon
And push the button it tells you to
Wtf
o.o
Imagine being that bad
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
Rotation helpers are literal garbage
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)_/¯
neat thing: When Vision procs, even though ava only lasts a a handful of seconds, BoM procs for the full 20
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 :/
also not great thing, if ava comes off cd but the visions procs, you cant real ava until the proc is over
weird, it like, doesnt let me activate it. same with AW
i havn't tried it on todays version if they changed
as of yesterday around this time it worked
I miss Engine already D:
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
it got replaced by a shit tier
Wtf
"creat a beacon at target location, after 3s reloacte to this beacon and deal fire damage to nearby enemies"
which one is the rage one:
that consumes 50% less rage
Lucid dreams
that thing is good
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
does it work on prot warrior?
yes
yes
then we are broken
is there any situation in which stam flask>str flask
that with AM
eh, we were exactly rage starved
we get into the Fray. but instead of haste its Verse and a free IV per target near us
that sounds super stronk
i prefer haste
i mean you keep into the fray as well
😮
this is an essence
aegis minor will be good yeah
aegis minor will compete with sphere and worldvein depending on target uptime
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
Anyone with some free time that can look at my logs in the log channel. Feel free to PM me.Ty.
"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
nothing can beat vision
yah im feeling Vision main, Aegis/Sphere or Aegis/crucible passives
depending on the ppm of crucibles crit and bonus dmg
vision will be main simply because it lowers Ava cooldown and if it procs and you have 3 BoM youre gonna have +1500 mastery
i think worldvein passive would out perform crucible in general, and outperform aegis in raid
is Engine permagone? or did they just temp disable it
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
shame
i did notice the original unlock requirements (Mechadungeon) are now shifted onto vision
it was basically a periodic sera lol
and Vision was originally Nazjatar achieve unlocked
all ppm effects can be increased based on haste correct?
so technically the more haste you have the higher the chance of procing
theres been times where you overlap procs
if its flagged for rppm yes then it scales with haste
what R stands for
realistic
ok
lol the active for the replacement for engine doens't even work
it replaced pph pre mop
good morning
Hello bull
( in m+), how should i treat avoidance on gear? how important is it?
not important
theres no significant aoe dmg going out in any dungeon
as in, dont sacrifice for it. its the cherry on top
oh wow, just noticed they updated Worldvein to imba. affects allies with worldvein now. gg mandatory for everyone lol
thank you 😃
190 mainstat isnt worth the locomotive restriction imo
especially when there are other options 🤷
8 yrds is also small
^
like the landing circle of HL small
on a patchwerk fight though
the stat doesnt stack i think
with all 20 using it
so its even worse
ahhh
just by yourself you can have several shards active
🤷
prob works like Ironfur
^
what isnt
id rather shoot a fireball
^
this is the minor
get cdr
this was the passive
I'd rather have 16% less cd on avatar 🤷
i dont take Shimmering Haven for a reason
ofc we take visions major, but this is the minor that can party stack
🛡
🛡
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
theres minors that arent boring?
rip engine
“y U pLaCe Ur sHarDz THerE!?!”
“Cuz the boss had to move...”
6 minutes dummy
i mean u cant just be "LOL EVERYTHINGS BORING" thats not an argument nor a conversation worth having 🤷
11 lucid procs
that's awful
I'd imagine if enough people are using worldvein boon, the drops would get staggered such that it becomes essentially a constant bonus
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
sphere and aegis good contenders for minors when you can have full uptime on them def
Moving the boss (and the melee stack) would drop the buff obviously but it'd start stacking again very quickly, assuming it stacks
have confirmed it stacks
next confirmation. is there a cap
Though if your entire melee stack is running that they don't need you to also run it in
got a group of 3 stacking it, lemme grab more ptr ppl lol
sphere is definitely a good one
sphere is insane
if it works on bosses its even more insane
and honestly, Id take Null or Aegis as my 2nd minor
null is conditional on huge magic fights/places
like shrine maybe
where itll be reliably consumed
id hard pass it on freehold
every dungeon has magic of some kind
have 10 ppl with worldvein atm, i have an almost constant +3k str
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)_/¯
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
they'll probably just hard cap how many you can benefit from
id hope so. imagine even half those ppl had the active. get bursts of 10k mainstat lol
do the active ones also share the buff?
lemme check
the way its worded only the passively summoned ones do
then they all die to sea spout :^)
no its fine, youll prevent 35k of that sea spout
i wonder if the legendary from vision will actually do anything
they're all cosmetic
right
but rn theres no visual component to it
and hoping for a cool ava form is too much
turns you into a mechagnome lol
You should get your Vision checked if you cant see it.
yes, the actives also give those with passive the bonus from their actives
this needs nerfed tbh
I got declined to 2x TD10
9/9M, 1.7k rio. Clappa Warrior
Asked why
"Dont want warrior" , wtf?
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
its grevious week i NEED a bdk! pog
jk i dont do that but its actually a good idea
😂
:^)
prot pal > bdk
Bdk way more fun
the last bdk i had with me died 7 times to the sharks in sob. it was the funniest m+ ever
bdk is discusting, pallys at least can toss their shield around
which is pretty cool honestly
Captain America tanking lmao
you have to admit that its really cool
It is
what you think, after prot nerf what will be better for m+, bdk or protection war?
I like my warrior and bdk equally..I love bdk thematically.. the bones and decay and that lovely slow
"oh i got hit, let me react to that"
the spec is like 70% stress
@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
fun tank is dh
but the class is such a potato
low damage, low survivability, its awful
hello have a nice weekend everyone!
You too @jagged bay <3
Bdk is like being crippled@from@the waist down.
have a nice weekend @jagged bay
😃
I kepe trying t like DK on the whole tbh
Cause aesthetically its sick af
but lol frost
Blood is meh
and unholy has like 17 plates and im a cripple with 1 hand and 4 brain cells
Machine gun frost is always 👌
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.
lol it has happened a lot to me this month
@ionic fern boop. here's a heart attack
someone moderate this man
New affix is a pulsing aoe mob yeah?
PRetty sure it's not yet 100% confirmed.
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^^
@sick sentinel it's a damage reduction to Unstoppable Force.
Much appreciated ❤
Unstoppable force is nerfed from 100% to 50%.
The pins have more info
It won't be too much of a issue tho. A small overall damage decrease.
aye,
~6% single target and ~11% for non stupid aoe pulls
But dps will also go up with essences
ahh right, they're trying to balance it lulw
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 .
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
Probably not.
Is the transition of tanking higher m+ keys into tanking mythic raid challenging?
Our "big dick out dps" is coming from reaping right now.
Perhaps,
Once reaping goes away we'll be more in line already just because of that.
Right,
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.
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.
For sure, appreciate the information.
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
Mwahi is right. The hardest thing I’ve had to do this tier is try not to murder dps fucking up mechanics
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)
Spell reflect is a very nice niche that some people often forget

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 😃
I like seeing 1/2 million pop up. Or several hundred thousand
@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+
Rdruid/rogue/vdh/demo lock. Vdh also has rogue so sometimes we double rogue
Not vdh..havoc dh
Fair, that’s close to mine. Rdruid, rogue, hdh, spriest
He's doing fine and hasn't stopped us yet
More healthstones obv
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
Yeah,but..it's a game and we enjoy eachothers company while still doing adequately high keys
I run with who I run, because of who they are. We can make a comp work decently
ofc
If they don’t like running as shaman and want spriest or demo then so be it
But jeah..sham does everything that demo does but better
want spriest
Nah
spriest is really good
Shaman does everything Demo does but better
But demo can bres
well that is true
So can a Shaman...if he dies
just dont die and you dont need brez : )
brez is a tank cd
you're a tank cd
thanks
yw
Thyme resub when?
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
o
actually a big mistake
just to Pet battle
For high M+ after you get to around 1500 haste, should I be stacking Mastery or Crit?
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
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
More stats is always better if same ilvl prefer haste
Ok, so pre much just choose ilvl?
Yes
Cheers, that seems easy
Outside of a couple trinkets you always want highest ilvl
Pretty much. Maybe not for a ring but yes
just downvalue mastery a bit, and versa a bit, and upvalue the other 2, if given a choice between equal ilvls
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
mastery seems a bit meh, with 3x bom
I’m exclusively playing m+ I should clarify
But targeting any specific stat beyond geming/enchanting for haste isnt really needed
All stats are pretty close in value for prot
Which is why you just go for ilvl in almost all circumstances
u dont need mastery at all when you have 3x BoM
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
correct
im just saying mastery is not needed
yeah that's too general for newbies and lurkers
^
ieatpuppies is correct though
ilvl > all true
you dont get rage when you parry, correct?
I like idol
i like gore-crust + rezan
and if i get another haste trink ill use it
Ahh yeah
It's not really a tank trinket
considering you could have a haste or crit trinket
or even something like idol or diamond
@worthy dagger I may like it because I have the chance of killing people in m+
@exotic spoke ok i agree with you and that makes it worth it
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
That and some weeks need a little extra survivability - well on some bosses.
but mastery is still valuable on windows without avatar
As much as we wish otherwise you cant have avatar up 100% of the time
riki i didnt watch that part
Yeah that sounds about right for this week
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
yeah, we were testing it - brand new with rogue and opted for just invis pot
so weird
Fucked the boss - not invis
most pugs know about it
He literally just swapped to rogue from life long mage last week
I don’t pug. I think only smashed and maybe shad (the DH) pug
i see
Why pug if you have a set team
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
Yeah but you dont have to deal with pugging so it evens out
true enough
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
Yes
wait what
Yes exactly
are you sure he just didnt die out of shield?
No, death recap shows melee
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
ya you need to plan defensives and tranq there
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
Do you stream?
Ooolala more jaina nerfs mid prog for us.
