sand egret
#

oblique garnet
#

I was 8 when classic came lmao

lusty grotto
#

haha

warm plinth
#

And? XD

sand egret
#

then pulled teh ol' switch

sick sentinel
#

i was younger and i played it

warm plinth
#

I knew some 8-9 year olds back in the day. They were better players than I was.

lusty grotto
#

hey pal, sorry we're doing 9 UR

sick sentinel
#

i ran around like an idiot

lusty grotto
#

leaves

sick sentinel
#

and it was incredible

warm plinth
#

I was uh...17 when I started WoW

sick sentinel
#

well tbh if they just gave me a spiderman toy i think it would make the same impact xd

#

cause i was 5

warm plinth
#

I think. 2006? No, I was 18 since it was like October

oblique garnet
#

I was 10 when i started iirc

#

Didnt have pc

sick sentinel
#

my father played wow so i did aswell

oblique garnet
#

When classic was a thing

sick sentinel
#

good times

warm plinth
#

I was 18 fucking years old, and the thing I loved about the game more than anything else (and proceeded to do it for like the first hour) is that I could jump.

sand egret
#

whew

warm plinth
#

Because you couldn't jump in EQOA

lusty grotto
#

hmm

warm plinth
#

Which was my previous MMO

lusty grotto
#

you could jump in eq1 though

outer dew
#

Tbh

sand egret
#

i was happy there were no loading screens

warm plinth
#

EQ1 isn't EQOA

lusty grotto
#

ya i know

outer dew
#

I just played wc3 till Wrath

lusty grotto
#

must be a console limitation

warm plinth
#

EQOA took place 500 years before EQPC; they hadn't learned how to jump yet ๐Ÿ˜

lusty grotto
#

too few buttons

outer dew
#

Only played WoW because if wrath just for TFT

sick sentinel
#

tbh i would like to see my action bars full of macros

warm plinth
#

But yeah I think it was just that they didn't have enough buttons

sand egret
#

vanilla came out right when I got into college

sick sentinel
#

good old macros

lusty grotto
#

shit

sand egret
#

had plenty of time to die miserably in the barrens

sick sentinel
#

but i think i will play rogue tho

lusty grotto
#

im officially older than blade

sand egret
#

haha

lusty grotto
#

we got our answers boys

sand egret
#

๐Ÿ˜

sick sentinel
#

ancient xd

warm plinth
#

Old af

sand egret
#

i never said I was that old

sick sentinel
#

you must be like 60 man

#

what is this

#

xd

lusty grotto
#

so im officially the oldest one

warm plinth
#

Wait how old were you when classic came out Nim?

lusty grotto
#

christ

#

2nd year of college

outer dew
#

Wdym

warm plinth
#

Oh, that makes me the oldest one then

outer dew
#

Blade started college at 30

lusty grotto
#

wait what

outer dew
#

???

#

Come on mang

lusty grotto
#

๐Ÿ˜ฎ

outer dew
#

Cant be just assuming age

warm plinth
#

Wait, am I doing math wrong? (probably)

lusty grotto
#

hmm

outer dew
#

Inb4 someone believes that's true

warm plinth
#

I think I'm doing math wrong.

outer dew
#

And I know when blade started college

#

Lmao

lusty grotto
#

well traditionally

olive merlin
#

Kind of a noob question here.. can someone explain snap spots? For instance someone mentioned the snap spots in AD for the Saurids. How do I learn more about this?

warm plinth
#

I was 15 when WoW came out I guess

lusty grotto
#

1st year of college is 17/18

#

traditionally...

warm plinth
#

Or no, 16

#

16

#

Final answer

lusty grotto
#

i def know people that got in at 16

sand egret
#

@olive merlin I'm assuming that term is used for spots where you can stand where they won't jump to you

sick sentinel
#

@olive merlin you just play hear it from other people watch streams

sand egret
#

but I'm not 100% on that

sick sentinel
#

there is one on shrine where you tp adds on yourself aswell

#

actualy 2 places in shrine

warm plinth
#

Snap spots are the areas you can go like on ledges or braziers where mobs can't get to you, so the mobs teleport to you

sick sentinel
#

one on WM aswell

lusty grotto
#

wait no 2004 is actually my third year of college

warm plinth
#

Pseudo-mass grip

sick sentinel
#

you will learn them as you go along

sand egret
#

ahh yeah, so places to fuck their pathing to force the teleport function

warm plinth
#

Wow you are old af

lusty grotto
#

fuck

warm plinth
#

What are you like 34? 35?

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

im 34 actually

outer dew
#

Tbh

#

What determines mob snapping to you vs you snapping to mob

sand egret
#

technically?

lusty grotto
#

like harlan snapping you

#

or shrooms in UR

outer dew
#

Well

#

Since I no play anymore

oblique garnet
#

Classic is actually more fun then retail๐Ÿ˜ช

lusty grotto
#

those are the only 2 i know that snap you

outer dew
#

Dis you guys know you can snap the third boss of UR and avoid the mushroom mechanic entirely?

sick sentinel
#

@oblique garnet no ๐Ÿ˜ 

lusty grotto
#

hax

sand egret
#

the short answer I believe is depedent on a) mob class and b) actual geo of the area

sick sentinel
#

tbh it might be cause just around do quests idk

#

it has been more then half of my life i cant remember

lusty grotto
#

fuck classic

olive merlin
#

I noticed all of the mobs in galvadst room in temple will teleport to you if you are on the stairs.

sick sentinel
#

yeah some adds who cant cast on you on weird spots will tp to you

lusty grotto
#

the easiest way is if mobs can't path to you directly

sick sentinel
#

if they dont cast on tank then you can make someone else stand on that place so they dont jump on him

lusty grotto
#

like the fountain at shrine

sick sentinel
#

you can bait it with healers or ranged players

#

fountain at shrine or water at shrine

#

saurid place for AD or jugger bait on AD

#

they tp you cause mechanics

sand egret
#

snapping is an anti-evade feature

lusty grotto
#

they def still do evade

sick sentinel
#

well if you use the spot make sure not to evade xd otherwise they probably reset which is big time lose

sand egret
#

it doesn't elimiate it

#

it's a protection

sick sentinel
#

if you jump on the place stay there

sand egret
#

particularly, snapping is more a thing in instances as things don't generally leash

#

since when you aggro you can't just run away and it fucks off

olive merlin
#

Very interesting.. need to find these spots

sick sentinel
#

you wont need those spots if you are not doing dangerous keys tho

#

maybe after 18s it is good to know

#

some helps just a bit some is just a must for real high keys

#

like baiting jugg in AD is a must at some point

#

otherwise oneshot if it charges

olive merlin
#

I'm just 13-15 guy rn

sick sentinel
#

well needs management while you can just ignore it

sand egret
#

they're pretty much P4 exploits, imho.

#

technical exploits that aren't worth addressing

sick sentinel
#

i dont like stuff that makes me feel like cheating tbh but little spots or tricks is fine

#

i just see them as stuff that you use small stuff

#

i mean the key is still hard as the way it is

#

if one spot made it %100 easier it would feel like exploit like big

#

for example temple exploit where you get the buff and come back with buff kill everything

sand egret
#

it's a spectrum so ultimately a call was made down the line that the reward vs the effort x the number of instances was at such a ratio that it isn't something to address

oblique garnet
#

I know classic is just running around doing quests

lusty grotto
#

i mean shrine 4th reap takes a million years so snapping is a way to cut down time, not that you need it anymore anyway but still

sand egret
#

it's kinda how you have to make those calls

sick sentinel
#

yeah

oblique garnet
#

But its more enjoyable than bfa right now

lusty grotto
#

gross

sick sentinel
#

yeah tbh to enjoy bfa you have to like m+ or raiding since nothing else to do

lusty grotto
#

id rather play other games

sick sentinel
#

and i like doing m+ sometimes chill sometimes push

oblique garnet
#

What other games

sick sentinel
#

if i didnt iwould quit insta

#

i just play single player games when i get bored

#

i started playing rage2

sand egret
#

classic is actually an rpg, again. Not a themepark. Honestly, totally different games at this point that it's like trying to compare BFA to like League of Legends

sick sentinel
#

i finished sekiro 2 weeks ago

#

yeah classic is a different game compared to retail

#

after cata game just changed so much

oblique garnet
#

I dont have any single player games that arent completed

olive merlin
#

I only like m+ really anymore.. I play my prot war and bdk.. and unfortunately bdk just takes an ass whoopin compared to war .. which is shame cause I like him

sick sentinel
#

and after that point it changed even more

#

and since legion game is really fast going from this fast back to classic will feel awkward

sand egret
#

over 15 years, the game had to change

sick sentinel
#

yeah

sand egret
#

just one of those things that at the end of the road, it looks REAL different when you look back

sick sentinel
#

cant blame blizzard imagine playing classic style wow for 15 years man

#

pulling 2 adds and dying cause you cant cast anything

sand egret
#

my fav fucking thing is the article about "not-a-bug" stuff in classic

#

like....yeah....Taurens WERE bigger

#

that's just how it was

sick sentinel
#

the game was built around role playing back then that was the big idea imo

#

right now its about being more enjoyable and more about game mechanics

#

having really interesting talents different items that had weird procs

oblique garnet
#

Only reason i dont like bfa right now

#

Is that i ran out of things to do

sick sentinel
#

but having some weird role playing stuff in retail would be so good aswell

#

specialy with items toys or mounts

#

but yeah bfa lacks content for this patch

#

if you play decent amount like 10-20 hours a week

sand egret
#

eh, it's got plenty of content imho. I think it's just that people want more of the content they like. As was stated before, if you only play for M+ it'll seem that way no matter how many pet dungeons they make.

sick sentinel
#

well i still do enjoy doing dailies if it is done well or farming mounts

sand egret
#

people's opinons, while valid, often reflect their limited, biased perspective on the game

sick sentinel
#

sometimes i wanted to world quests to farm argunites in legion and farmed mounts meanwhile so it made it look like it was worth my time

oblique garnet
#

Ok blade tell me what content do i have

#

I have every character at max

sick sentinel
#

now its artifacts to farm wq or islands

#

islands are so much RNG to get pets tmog items or mounts

oblique garnet
#

I raid 2 times a week do my weekly m+

#

I have capped neck on 2 characters soon 3

sick sentinel
#

whats the point having %1 drop chance on mount if you have to do a 20 min long content

oblique garnet
#

What do?

sand egret
#

Raids, PvP, WQs, Dailies, Alts, Mounts, Mogs, Pet Battles, M+ etc.

#

there's lore stuff too, side-quests

#

island mog stuff

#

yada yada

honest canopy
#

@oblique garnet you have plown in more time then mlste of the players out there

#

So prob you wnjlyed it a lot

sick sentinel
#

problem is that they forced people to get stuff

#

artifact is from islands only

honest canopy
#

Not really

oblique garnet
#

Yeah i do enjoy it

sick sentinel
#

gear is from m+ and raid only bla bla bla

oblique garnet
#

But right now im bored

honest canopy
#

Players forced players to get stuff to be accepted

sand egret
#

it's also entirely possible....that you may have actually done all you want in the game

honest canopy
#

Iv done 24 Islands

#

Littersly

#

Got 2 rank 50 necks

oblique garnet
#

Pretty much waiting on next patch

sand egret
#

getting bored of a game after playing it a lot is 100% totally natural and expected

sick sentinel
#

artifact farm is no problem at this point and i think its good they did that

#

you can get 50 with next to no farm

#

getting stuff naturaly is better then grinding the shit out of content like we farmed MoS before nighthold

sand egret
#

I'll tell you as a Dev myself, we very much expect players to quit after some point

honest canopy
#

MoS ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ’•

sick sentinel
#

yeah its good to take breaks from game

#

its same for games like poe or diablo

sand egret
#

iif you think WoW is built around continuous play, you cray cray

sick sentinel
#

or new seasons in fps games

sand egret
#

it's the entire reason WoW is structured like it is

oblique garnet
#

Yeah but i have so much freetime right now and i dont have a job or anything other

sick sentinel
#

play single player games ๐Ÿ˜„

#

there are some good ones

sand egret
#

easy to drop, easy to get back in. Because instead of trying to compete with an increasingly growing market, they made it so they odn't have to

#

that's how you adapt over 15 years

honest canopy
#

Play daytime with me late

#

I need a new tank bud in 8.2

#

๐Ÿ™„

sick sentinel
#

tbh thats how mmos work more time you put more time game will require from you

oblique garnet
#

Nah i like the guild im in

sick sentinel
#

if you play 10 hours there will be stuff for you to do again

#

just logout when you want

honest canopy
#

Its not raiding daytime tho!

sand egret
#

I finally got around to playing Dead Cells, love it. Grinded the shit outta that this weekend

oblique garnet
#

Im not a person who can keep a sleeping schedule that allows me to daytime raid

sand egret
#

didn't touch wow all weekend

honest canopy
#

Dead Cells on switch?

sand egret
#

yeaaa

honest canopy
#

I was about to buy it

#

So disapointed with ffx

#

FFX was top 3 games for me. But it was pure nostalgia

sand egret
#

if you're a maso-gamer you'll love it

honest canopy
#

Its so bad ๐Ÿ˜ช

sand egret
#

if not you'll HATE it

#

lol

honest canopy
#

Maso gamer?

sand egret
#

masochistic

honest canopy
#

Ahaha

#

I love bloodborn

sand egret
#

then yeah

honest canopy
#

Quite maso game

sand egret
#

right up your alley

#

when you die you start basically from scratch

honest canopy
#

Coolio

sand egret
#

some mechanics allow you to have shit persist through death

honest canopy
#

Any other Nice indie games on The switch?

sand egret
#

Cuphead is DOPE

#

if you like bullethells/contra style

honest canopy
#

There is so many i cant really get an overview

#

Contra is ok

#

I like topview shooters more tho

sick sentinel
#

cuphead is realy fun tbh

honest canopy
#

You know, f22 raptor etc

sick sentinel
#

hard challenging and good art design

honest canopy
#

Might check cuphead out

oblique garnet
#

Hard๐Ÿค”

sand egret
#

ohhh yeah there's a few bullet-hells out there

honest canopy
#

Hows The sound?

oblique garnet
#

Learning patterns

sand egret
#

amazing

#

it's theme'd in a 1930s style

oblique garnet
#

Soundtrack in cuphead is amazing

honest canopy
#

Indie games really need Nice sound to kick my balls

sand egret
#

so it's got this amazing feel

sick sentinel
#

well tbh i expected the game to be really easy cause its cuphead

honest canopy
#

Cool

oblique garnet
#

And artstyle aswell

honest canopy
#

Il buy it

#

Mainly playing Tetris and odesseys on my switch with my daughter

sand egret
#

cuphead is also 2player co-op

#

๐Ÿ˜ƒ

oblique garnet
#

Super mario odyssey?

honest canopy
#

Yeah

#

She likes to play cappy

#

And il Mario

#

Got tierd of MK8, since we played it a lot on wii u

oblique garnet
#

Have you gotten to 500 stars yet?

honest canopy
#

Naw. We just played it for The story to catch bowser.

oblique garnet
#

Yeah you get 2 new planets

honest canopy
#

Just resently we started to finish The small stores in each world

oblique garnet
#

One at 250 iirc and one at 500

honest canopy
#

Stories

oblique garnet
#

They have actually difficult dungeons

honest canopy
#

Aha

lusty grotto
#

i got the 500 stars

honest canopy
#

Won a Tetris game yet?

lusty grotto
#

i finally 100% spider-man on the weekend

#

now i only got sekiro, RE2 and apex

#

done with ps4 games until last of us 2 comes out

#

and the FF7 remake which i know will disappoint me due to the battle system alone

honest canopy
#

The FFX remaster..

#

The game is so slow

#

Idk how i could fall in such love with this game

lusty grotto
#

i liked 9, 10 and 13

#

6 and 7 of course

honest canopy
#

Ff7 was The first i played

lusty grotto
#

i hated 8 and whatever came after 13

honest canopy
#

It was cool

#

Then I did buy 10 to ps2 and omg it was so gucci

lusty grotto
#

finished them too the lightning one and the 4 dudes one, but goddamn i hated them

honest canopy
#

Never manage to best it. Got stuck at Anima

lusty grotto
#

im a completionist, so i did all of it

honest canopy
#

I figured i had skipped to much and was to low lvl

lusty grotto
#

grinding wasn't hard in that game

honest canopy
#

When i did best sawyer The forth time

#

No

#

But i was like 11 yold

lusty grotto
#

ya

honest canopy
#

And very impatiente

#

Gg spelling

#

12 maybe

#

And Counter strike was The bomb

#

Then came wow

#

๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•

lusty grotto
#

last cs i played was 1.7 when steam first came out

#

i havent felt the need to try CS:GO

honest canopy
#

1.6 no?

lusty grotto
#

1.6 yeah

honest canopy
#

Tought so

lusty grotto
#

but i played until 1.7

honest canopy
#

Didnt remmeber a 1.7

#

Aha there was one maybe

#

I tried csgo

#

Shit game

#

I was quite Pro in CS, or well... I won some swedish lans and such. Nothing fancy

#

500e was much back then tho

#

Lost intrest in CS when WoW and dota came into my life ๐Ÿ™„

lusty grotto
#

i havent touched dota2 in around 2 years

honest canopy
#

I love dota

lusty grotto
#

i quit when talents came out

#

not quit, just stopped playing

honest canopy
#

Its actually quite decent

lusty grotto
#

its still my favorite moba

honest canopy
#

I had a break for 1 year right when it came as well

lusty grotto
#

i cant stand LoL or HotS

honest canopy
#

I only play that as moba

#

Same

#

Tried aprox 2 games lol

#

Maybe 15 HotS

#

Played this asian one tho, on switch and Android

#

So ez when you are used to dota. Stomping p2w noobs

lusty grotto
#

lol

#

i bet

neon tangle
#

@honest canopy I thought hots had a lot of potential

#

I'm not a fan of games where I feel like the gameplay is working around quirks in the game/engine

#

e.g. Counterstrike

sand egret
#

do you like starcraft?

neon tangle
#

no real opinion, never played a ton of RTS anything

sand egret
#

street fighter?

#

both those games were born out of bugs/quirks in the engine ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

neon tangle
#

street fighter (and most fighting games...) tend to be more towards the "engine quirks" side of stuff

sand egret
#

Deus Ex LAMS is my fav example

#

i'd argue almost every game has engine quirks ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

like WoW!

neon tangle
#

I mean, it's bound to happen with any sufficiently old game, or a competitive enough of one

#

I guess it's subjective

sand egret
#

ahem

#

see: Fallout series

neon tangle
#

I think part of it is the obvious-ness of it, and how important it is to the gameplay

#

and... whether it's considered a "bug" or just a thing people learn to use

sand egret
#

soo, everthing Bethesda makes? ๐Ÿ˜†

neon tangle
#

e.g. I think last-hitting is a pretty weird mechanic, and it adds a lot of mechanical complexity to those games

sand egret
#

that's not a bug

neon tangle
#

but it's also pretty non-obvious, and... I feel like it's leaning in to quirks in the engine

#

right, I know it's not a bug

sand egret
#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

#

bunny hopping is prob the biggest exmaple

modern brook
#

how u gunna attack cs like this

neon tangle
#

Maybe one that's closer to home: the 5s casting rule from BC

#

Do you remember that?

sand egret
#

then again, you have rocket jumping in Unreal which is also almost defining to that game

#

you mean to deal with Spirit lock-out?

neon tangle
#

right

lusty grotto
#

yeah last hitting is def not a bug

#

but i get what youre saying

sand egret
#

we know lol

lusty grotto
#

ahem

#

rocket jumping was not an unreal thing

oblique garnet
#

Bunnyhopping and rocket jumping take insane amounts of skills to do

lusty grotto
#

it was born in quake

#

rocket jumping is fairly easy

#

combining it with bunny hopping is not

sand egret
#

yeah true

viral adder
#

what's up blood dk chan

sand egret
#

Quake 1 had it

lusty grotto
#

there were mods a while ago where speed was the key, quake had them

sand egret
#

anything that messed with the cheap physics hacks

lusty grotto
#

their goal was to train people to bunny hop, etc

modern brook
#

I'm going to hard disagree with sadbox

lusty grotto
#

back then it wasnt called bunny hop though

#

it was called strafe jumping

modern brook
#

bugs/engine quirks/etc defining gameplay is a good thing

lusty grotto
#

the term bunny hop arose from CS

modern brook
#

its the video game equivelent of kungfu

#

without it everyone's doing punch

#

and punch gets boring

#

but no we're doing spinning crane kicks

oblique garnet
#

Strafe jumping and bunnyhopping are not the same

modern brook
#

IDK what that is

#

its sick

lusty grotto
#

it was initially

modern brook
#

zip zap zoop we have a game

sand egret
#

they were born from the same thing

lusty grotto
#

yeah

neon tangle
#

@modern brook I guess I prefer it when the complexity comes from what was designed rather than random luck in how they built it, but obviously both can be done horribly

sand egret
#

intended complexity vs organic complexity

modern brook
#

intended complexity is for nerds

lusty grotto
#

the truth is that mechanical manipulation of the engine comes from playing the game at a different level

modern brook
#

fact

#

come to my ted talk at 6:30est to learn why

sand egret
#

i.e. fighting games basically

lusty grotto
#

im not saying its a superior level, just different

sand egret
#

(which we did talk about)

lusty grotto
#

like shield cancelling in smash

modern brook
#

someone @ me at 630 est so i dont forget to show up to my ted talk

lusty grotto
#

but then they became standard so

#

they were implemented in their respective iterations

neon tangle
#

@lusty grotto a big part of that is basically taking a version of something, and saying "this is what we use" and then everying hyper-optimizing for it

#

I can get people being into it

lusty grotto
#

and thats why shield cancelling is a thing in smash ultimate

neon tangle
#

I'm not tho

modern brook
#

ultimate sucks though

#

because u cant jump cancel

lusty grotto
#

that's just 1 example

#

i mean

modern brook
#

a superior version of shield canceling

lusty grotto
#

yeah but whatever

#

side dodge is okay

modern brook
#

๐Ÿ˜ 

#

SPOT dodge ๐Ÿ˜ 

lusty grotto
#

im sorry

#

i gotta start training in smash again

#

i gotta beat my rival

#

he mains link and bowser

#

puts real rage in my veins

#

gotta train that pikachu

oblique garnet
#

Smash is overrated

modern brook
#

Yikes

#

i didnt think shit opinion hour started for another 90minutes

lusty grotto
#

lmao

oblique garnet
#

I mean says the rogue player

#

So you know your opinion is invalid anyways 8)

modern brook
#

๐Ÿ˜ 

#

just cause ur right doesnt make u right

oblique garnet
#

It does

#

Dont get me wrong i like smash

#

But its definitely overrated

modern brook
#

which smash we talking

oblique garnet
#

New one

modern brook
#

yeah new ones pretty whatever

#

4 sucks

#

64 sucks

#

brawl sucks

#

melee is one of the best games ever made period

lusty grotto
#

i like smash ultimate ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

granted im not like good at it

#

but its fun i like smash

#

hmm

#

can we solo legion raids yet

#

i mean mythic of course

#

i haven't tried

#

maybe next patch?

Nope

#

Cant

#

Some bosses you can

lusty grotto
#

i guess ill try after reset

#

to see how far i get lmao

#

probably not far i guess

sand egret
#

I did Mythic ToV for what it's worth

lusty grotto
#

hmm

sand egret
#

so I'd imagine a few are.

lusty grotto
#

interesting but there's nothing i don't have from ToV

#

iirc

#

unless there's a mount i dont know about

sand egret
#

I think Emerald Nightmare can be done

trail whale
#

can't do NH

sick sentinel
#

smash is really good

#

melee, that is

sand egret
#

i imagine there's a few bosses I cant recall that have mechanics you cant brute past with our current dps

#

mythic helya kinda has it

#

if you're not a dorf/DiD

lusty grotto
#

yeah

sand egret
#

you need to burst her to 60% before the taint or you're boned

#

although, I did it with the taint on me

#

it was close tho

oblique garnet
#

Cant do dragons in EN

sand egret
#

some fights also get kinda glitchy when you're the only target as well

lusty grotto
#

dragons

#

yeah

#

i guess that'll be the iron reaver

#

though you can solo iron reaver, just need to pull a sonic

mossy sundial
#

Is the Booming Voice/Anger Management the only viable build?

#

For M+

undone sun
#

yes

#

Devastator is only for pure ST damage.
There's no competition for AM, ever.

mossy sundial
#

Asking cause i feel really squishy as a tank, even with ignore pain up. Do Tank trinkets (I am mainly playing fury) make a huge difference for prot?

neon tangle
#

If you feel squishy it's probably just play issues

#

trinkets/gear help, but it's pretty minor (you won't notice being 3% tankier) while play issues are very big

undone sun
#

no, trinkets wont make a huge difference, not life or death

neon tangle
#

@mossy sundial I just want to make sure, you said "even with ignore pain up"

#

Are you keeping shield block up?

mossy sundial
#

Trying

#

Might be me having the wrong stats/only being close to 400 but I have to choose far too often (atleast imo) between using shield block or ignore pain

#

guessing i should be banking rage instead of spending it when i can

open bluff
#

sounds more like a rotation issue if you feel you have to choose

neon tangle
#

^^^^

open bluff
#

also if you're ever spending rage on revenge

#

don't

mossy sundial
#

Only spending rage on revenge if i am off-tanking and i am close to 100 rage

outer dew
#

do you have logs?

#

lol

open bluff
#

^

mossy sundial
#

Don't think so, can look tho

open bluff
#

it's almost 100% a rotation issue; i'm usually swimming in rage

outer dew
#

i can rage starve in auto-pilot

#

lol

#

rage starving isn't really hard

#

esp if you're not use to intercepting on CD

open bluff
#

also make sure you're cycling CDs to cover gaps in shield block coverage

neon tangle
#

@mossy sundial I think you're also looking at IP in the wrong way, you don't ever "choose" between them or try and keep both up, you -always*- want to keep SB up and IP serves as a rage dump/"extra" mitigation on top

#

*always: there are a few times where something isn't blockable, and you want to use IP instead, i.e. the last two bosses of ML

open bluff
#

especially last stand; it's 15 seconds of 100% block with the bolster talent that's up about every minute, giving you plenty of time to recharge your stacks

mossy sundial
#

I am using Last stand as a stand in for shield block. keeping shieldwall for high dmg or "oh shit" moments

neon tangle
#

You should be planning your shield walls just like your other abilities, if you go "oh shit" it's too late to use anything

mossy sundial
#

Like the 2 things that i mostly use my shield block for are moments when a misstaunt from the other tank happens or my healer dies in m+

neon tangle
#

shield block or wall?

mossy sundial
#

shield wall

outer dew
#

you're using SW way too late

#

lol

mossy sundial
#

Does Shield block actually have a pandemic effect?

neon tangle
#

I'd try and log some, you're probably underutilizing it

#

yes

mossy sundial
#

Will do

neon tangle
#

don't forget that shield wall's CD is also reduced by anger management

#

and should be used pretty often

open bluff
#

^

mossy sundial
#

Is the armor weapon enchant worth taking?

open bluff
#

no, use quick nav

mossy sundial
#

Okay

open bluff
#

also to add on to sadbox's AM point: the only "long" cd not reduced by anger management is rallying cry

#

meaning avatar is also affected, which is a huge source of rage gen with unstoppable force/TC

#

if you're having rage issues, one possible explanation is you're underutilizing avatar but again, that's hard to say for sure without logs

sand egret
#

due to how me mitigate, there shouldn't really ever be "oh-shit" moments that aren't already planned for imho

#

we're not really the "oh-shit" tank, is what I really wanna say

neon tangle
#

^^^ @mossy sundial It was kinda implied, but warrior is 100% proactive mitigation, e.g. shield wall will only prevent damage you take in the future

#

which means if you do it as a reaction to your health dipping it's too late

#

same thing for IP, shield block, etc

sand egret
#

to clarify, I'm very actively weaving my SW into my general flow.

#

giving my healer some breathing room to top the group, etc.

#

or pulling extra big when its up

mossy sundial
#

Okay, thanks for the answers. Gonna try to implement them into my gameplay, gonna log as well to be able to provide more info if i am still running in place.

spice ferry
#

remember you can also log keys, people can still give you just as solid feedback on your rotation from m+

sand egret
#

I can't stress enough the importance of forethought and proactivity in Warrior tanking

north coral
#

anyone know why mythic jaina some times spins to the raid and casts beam p1 if avalanche is going off? something tank can do differently?

sand egret
#

it's the only tank spec that functions 100% proactively so anyone not familiar or (potentially even worse) a reroller may apply not-so-good habits to Prot

mossy sundial
#

The only tanks i played on mass the last expansions were Blood DK and some vengeance DH during legion. Playing Prot because i wanted to play fury and i don't want to log onto my druid for every key.

sand egret
#

Well BDK is like the 2nd farthest from the spec ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

spice ferry
#

@north coral do you mean straight after avalanche she fires one off towards where rdps stack>?

north coral
#

yea she seems to turn to the rdps on the avalanche cast then queue up beam into them

spice ferry
#

if she's turned around when she finishes avalanche she can sometimes go straight into a beam and won't turn around before. I think if the tank who has ava goes to the side of the ship instead of near range it might not happen. fights retarded like that

willow scarab
#

What I've found is if both the tank with avalanche and the tank taunting for avalanche both stand on the opposite side of her to the ranged from pull until avalanche ends, including kiting that you will usually have the beam go where you want

#

But if you kite avalanche past where she is standing and move to ranged side and/or the other tank taunts before being on the opposite side to the ranged dps she consistently shoots at ranged

#

It's to do with the fact that she rotates whilst casting avalanche

spice ferry
#

yeah that's what i was trying to say but you've said it much better ๐Ÿ˜‰

willow scarab
#

My guild use to tell me I was stupid for thinking on that level of play because "as if it works like that"

#

but like... it definitely does

spice ferry
#

dumb boss is dumb

#

if you just dont put yourself between her and rdps stack you should be okay

#

you could actually, long as you dont let avalanche finish when you are

willow scarab
#

sometimes she locks into her rotated position during avalanche and casts her blast straight after avalanche ends so you can't turn her around

#

The timings on it are so stupid

#

But get ready for the exact same thing when you get to Uu'nat because it's the same ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

ebon lagoon
#

Wow...a fight that knocks rdps off their high horse, forces them to move at a moment's notice and expect to deal with the unexpected.

Almost like the fight's not supposed to be faceroll, huh?

sick sentinel
#

Guys I'm sorry, I had to betray yall

#

I'm going to play BDO now and become number #5 BDO streamer mom

#

(For real though, yo the combat is fucking tight)

ebon lagoon
#

Eh, go for it, I don't blame you.

#

Played a Wizard a while back on bdo, visuals are just...gamer orgasmic inducing.

sick sentinel
#

Who gives a fuck about the graphics, I'm playing wow, so long as it doesn't look like RuneScape I'll play ur trash

willow scarab
#

What are you talking about? Have you done Jaina?

#

Melee have half the job of ranged in p1

spice ferry
#

also if the tank does their job correctly then ranged dont need to move

#

rdps moving is caused by a tank misplay

#

in p1 anyway

willow scarab
#

Dealing with the unexpected is also a weird concept

#

melee don't have castbars...

sick sentinel
#

I will always find it funny when melee get angry when u move the boss

willow scarab
#

I feel so bad for my melee on Uu'nat

sick sentinel
#

I dont

willow scarab
#

We're ping ponging that boss all over the place

sick sentinel
#

Ur fucking melee suck it up

#

Stop crying and move

#

If u hate moving play a range

willow scarab
#

On topic

#

Void elf big power play for uunat

#

1% shadow damage reducation but more important you can skip beams

sick sentinel
#

Ok troll 2.0

willow scarab
#

warrior transcendence

sick sentinel
#

I really do wonder if they make some bs in roa that VE can port over if it will make then the troll 2.0/Gob 1.0

#

Because unlike cos, it's nothing note worthy since its filler raid

#

Where as roa is the main course next patch

willow scarab
#

Here's hoping so it justifies my aesthetic choice

sick sentinel
#

What's the CD on it?

willow scarab
#

3 minutes

sick sentinel
#

I hope u like it every 5

willow scarab
#

I'm thinking it will line up with the dicey eye beams

#

But we're only at 62% ish so time will tell

#

have to finesse it

sick sentinel
#

It's such a weird thing that I'm shocked people haven't learned to abuse yet

#

Because I could imagine u could frame perfect Dodge's if it works sim to a blink

weary veldt
#

earthlink/shimmering haven?

sick sentinel
#

el

#

Sh can pop up in a poor spot

willow scarab
#

It works exactly like a blink except that it's of course projected from you

#

so you can't just press it and dodge beam

sick sentinel
#

It's a double tap yea

willow scarab
#

yeah

#

moves from you to X distance and then tap again to get to it

sick sentinel
#

Still if u can Dodge's a beams damage then u can frame perfect a lot of other shit

#

The problem become how good are u at frame watchinf

willow scarab
#

I've been making it my mission to find uses for it because I wanna stay lookin' cute

#

When my adrenaline is going off and i've had a coffee i'm pretty good with my frames

sick sentinel
#

I prefer racials that do something movement wise

sand egret
#

VE active does have a lot of legs

#

always gonna be content where you gotta move A to B

#

๐Ÿ˜ƒ

willow scarab
#

It's nice for big pulls like WCM hallway and shrine hallway after 1st boss

sick sentinel
#

Look at that this man trying to set up style points

#

If u H.Leap from end of the hallway but casted ur tele right before is there a distance limiter or nah?

#

Because if I can just steal monks TP Ayo fuck nightelf and fuck the horde

sand egret
#

like a poor man's Transcendece

sick sentinel
#

I'm taking that because I WILL STYLE BEAST ON THESE TRASH

willow scarab
#

Sometimes it feels like there's a distance limit but maybe i'm just not pressing it fast enough

sick sentinel
#

I want my SSSMOKING SEXY STYLE METER

willow scarab
#

You can definitely use it from outside the door and then heroic leap down the hallway thoguh

#

It's pretty much poor man trans

sick sentinel
#

I don't give a fuck

#

I want to pop my tp mid air after casting TC at just the right frame before landing and pooping back where i was

willow scarab
#

You can't drop it in the air like you can with trans

#

if you use it in the air or on a cliff etc it goes along the ground

sick sentinel
#

Oh no I'm gonna cast it right before I leap

#

Then pop mid air after a tc

warm plinth
#

It's basically blink but way slower and with a visual of where you will end up.

sick sentinel
#

So long as the distance for me to pop to be ported back isn't like 2 yards idgaf

warm plinth
#

Also the rift is only in place for like 10 seconds

#

And it goes on CD whether you port or not

sick sentinel
#

That's literally more than what I woildnneed

#

Yo

#

I'm going ally guys

#

Fuck the horde

warm plinth
#

I'm pretty sure the range is 25ish yards, maybe 30

sand egret
#

so i think the move is shoot it backwards, 180n0sc0p3 and intercept forward at the pack, Clap em and style back

warm plinth
#

lol

sick sentinel
#

^

warm plinth
#

ninja ๐Ÿ”

sand egret
#

im into it

#

i'd be all over that but VE's have shit beards

willow scarab
#

that's pretty much it

sick sentinel
#

I already did crazy shit my HM TAUREN fharge

willow scarab
#

and you can use it then leap teleport mid air

sick sentinel
#

OMG

willow scarab
#

exactly like leap itnercept mid air

sick sentinel
#

It's fucking official

#

I'm going ally

warm plinth
#

You NA?

sick sentinel
#

Hell the fuck yea

#

I'm not a coward

warm plinth
#

I'll have company then. Everone is abandoning e.

lusty grotto

willow scarab

The 1% shadow damage is nothing but also something given uu'nat build

#

also 5% damage for 12s every minute

sick sentinel
#

Fuck the SHADOW RESIST IM GONNA STYLE BEAST ON THESE BITCHES

willow scarab
#

Not the best race but I'm here for it

sand egret
#

I just want everyone to know I played Fury for the 3rd time today and i'm pretty much a god

willow scarab
#

Proud of you

sand egret
#

ya'll will never compare

#

hang it up

willow scarab
#

I recently put siegebreaker on my bars after playing fury in a lot of bgs

sand egret
#

decimated Nim in deeps

willow scarab
#

I always wondered why my damage sucked

sand egret
#

he's devastated

#

everyone be nice to @lusty grotto

sick sentinel
#

I can't play fury when it only has one rage spender

#

It feels like shit

#

technically

#

it has 2

#

just the other one does not do damage

#

1

sand egret
#

I was PUMPING that Shout yo

sick sentinel
#

Ur either rampaging or executing

sand egret
#

just kite city

sick sentinel
#

I was talking about piercing howl lmao

sand egret
#

being the utility we need baby

sick sentinel
#

The fuck is a piercing howl?

sand egret
#

i told you

#

i'm a god now at fury

#

450iq

#

it's a 100% uptime 50% snare

#

aka frost mage status

sick sentinel
#

Wait etf

ebon lagoon
#

Ah yes

sick sentinel
#

Y'all stole my fucking slow from arms

#

YOU FUCKERS STOLE MY ARMS SLOWS

sand egret
#

I took it

#

as the New God of Fury

#

i deemed it necessary

ebon lagoon
#

Back in Legion it was fun to use Piercing howl to get near permanent uptime on Frothing Berserker

sick sentinel
#

arms still has hamsting

#

Fuck that hamstring can go back to its useless useless fury spec

#

Y'all deserve hamstring so you can have a reminder of what ur class is

warm plinth
#

You can always play classic ๐Ÿ˜

sick sentinel
#

Yeah let get a key

#

imagine playing arms btw

warm plinth
#

Pretty sure in vanilla, PH was a talent

#

But I didn't play war in vanilla so I'm not sure that's true

sick sentinel
#

Imagine play weak neck fury

warm plinth
#

Imagine playing any spec but prot in classic

#

HYBRID TAX

sick sentinel
#

Imagine playing classic

warm plinth
#

Eh, whatever floats people's boats

#

Once was enough for me

sick sentinel
#

Yeah, at least I'm not like those losers

#

I play modern wow

warm plinth
#

All the people who hate flying will be happy ๐Ÿ‘

sick sentinel
#

poyo I have an extremely simple reason I play fury

warm plinth
#

Until they realize they have to wait until level 40 to get the 60% ground mount, heirloom mount doesn't exist, and they probably won't be able to afford it when they do hit level 40 ๐Ÿ˜‚

sick sentinel
#

I sent this image very recently

#

I play 6 of the top 7 specs

warm plinth
#

Brewmaster is so boring though :/

sick sentinel
#

Thats APM tho

#

yeah

#

that's the reason I like those specs

#

Ah

#

all 6 of them

#

not brm

warm plinth
#

Oh, you play all but BrM

sick sentinel
#

yeh

warm plinth
#

Good man

#

Good tank, boring af to play

sick sentinel
#

BRM=BoRedoM

#

Arms/feral and either MM/BM(if I'm feeling...)

warm plinth
#

Meanwhile VDH is fun as hell but is like tanking as a wet paper towel

sand egret
#

eh, it's fun for reasons that aren't rotational imho

sick sentinel
#

I prefer the slower plays because I feel like I'm doing something

warm plinth
#

Which? BrM?

sand egret
#

yep

warm plinth
#

Oh. What do you find fun about it?

sand egret
#

doing weirdo pulls with Trans and rolls

#

Ring is fun as hell

warm plinth
#

Ring is fun, and unlimited kiting potential

#

But the rotation is super bleh

willow scarab
#

I like BrM

#

I agree though, the game is more fun when you're on high APM

sand egret
#

it's very different from Prot but the thing with rotations are...at the end of the day it's all muscle memory anyway

#

i'm not really actively thinking "ok now tclap"

warm plinth
#

Well BrM is like the only spec in the game that still has a pretty much set rotation

#

We have options typically, even if they are minor options. e.g. do I press IP or Revenge, SS procs, etc

sand egret
#

in general, being comfortable with the spec kinda implies that you can think about literally everything else and pull off the basics

sick sentinel
#

Before I go ally I gotta get my aotc on my warrior

sand egret
#

but that's what I think

warm plinth
#

Yeah it's like going for a drive and getting to your destination and don't really remember driving there

sick sentinel
#

Need 3 more +10

sand egret
#

yeah exactly

sick sentinel
#

My excuse on performing bad this week

#

was that

#

I normally do not pay attention during trash

#

or most bosses

#

and with necro I actually had to play the game

#

I think we all do that

warm plinth
#

Is that what we're calling the +10 achieve now? AotC? lol

sand egret
#

shocker ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

sick sentinel
#

Yup @warm plinth

#

Since aotc is heroic gear

warm plinth
#

So +15 feat is M+ CE?

#

XD

sick sentinel
#

Yup

warm plinth
#

I'm just gonna go horde and have Blade carry me to +15 feat

sand egret
#

wish necro applied less, was easier to drop, but did more reduction so you could engage with the affix more

warm plinth
#

At least it drops with combat now

sand egret
#

or it ticked down instead of cleared all at once

sick sentinel
#

Was it grievous or necro that replace overhealing

sand egret
#

so you can partially kite

warm plinth
#

Grievous

undone sun
#

grevious

sick sentinel
#

God that was the best

#

I felt bad for hot based class

sand egret
#

imagine an affix that did magic damage everytime you blocked/dodge/parried

warm plinth
#

Or holy pal with holy shock crits ๐Ÿ˜‚

sand egret
#

๐Ÿ˜

warm plinth
#

Like welp, insta 5-mil heal absorb

sick sentinel
#

I want an affix that steals Mana from the healer everytime they crit

warm plinth
#

That would be fun, IF they nerfed the damage mobs dealt at the same time

sick sentinel
#

And one that deals damage if they don't crit

#

this is kind of what necro does for me

#

since I went full crit for this week

#

I even got deadly nav

#

Oh noooooooooooo

#

40% party with both goreblock and deadly nav proced

warm plinth
#

Yesss, 40%party!

sick sentinel
#

Ok but the real question

warm plinth
#

No ravager

sick sentinel
warm plinth
#

lolol

sick sentinel
#

Maybe one day they will remove ravager

warm plinth
#

They should just make it baseline and put something else in that tier that won't ever compete with AM

sick sentinel
#

YALL MOTHEFCUKERS ALREADY HAVE STAT TALENT IN OUR TREE, JUST DO IT FOR RAVAGERS

warm plinth
#

Or I guess more realistically they could just make AM baseline and put another meh talent in that row to choose from.

sick sentinel
#

AM at this point completes prot

#

It either has to be removed/gutted/baselined

warm plinth
#

I think your first thing was correct. Don't all warrior specs use AM?

sick sentinel
#

Not arms

warm plinth
#

Ah

sick sentinel
#

It only reduces Bladestorm

#

Like it doesn't even fucking reduce Smash

warm plinth
#

Oh, yeah that's pretty meh

sick sentinel
#

Just one fucking ability

#

And the ability is only a 90 seconds long cd

warm plinth
#

At least DbtS should be affected ๐Ÿค” Is that the right ability? Idfk dps war shit

#

Their parry thing

sick sentinel
#

Nope

#

Only bladestorm

#

Smash/Ava/Defense not affected by AM

winter aspen
#

Wut

sick sentinel
#

It's the ravager of arms

warm plinth
#

Looks like in raids at least, they use AM

winter aspen
#

AM is your only choice on arms

warm plinth
#

Didn't look at M+ build yete

#

yet*

winter aspen
#

It reduces warbreaker and bs

sick sentinel
#

Since when?

#

Was this an 8.1 thing?

warm plinth
#

It says it works on Colossus Smash and BS on icyveins

winter aspen
#

Since forever lol

sick sentinel
#

Not in 8.0

warm plinth
#

Which warbreaker replaces CS so same thing

winter aspen
#

Since bfa release

sick sentinel
#

Then I must be misremembering because I swear I never went AM

#

I think?

#

Oh no

#

No wonder

#

I'm thinking of the legion Verison

#

But I could have sworn it didn't affect CS in 8.0

outer dew
#

I can confirm for you that in 8.0, it worked

sand egret
#

I can confirm for you that Tofu can confirm for you that in 8.0, it worked

you can roll for a rando item on a specific slot once every 2-3 weeks depending on what keylevel you do

#

maybe more if you do sub 10's but๐Ÿ‘€

warm plinth
#

Yeah if you do a 16 each week, you'll have enough for a random 415 every 2 weeks.

Iโ€™ve noticed, done ~10 or so +10s this week and didnโ€™t even saw ONE azerite gear drop. Just came back from a 4 month break, every slot is 400 besides azerite ones, which are 380. Should I buy random 400s? Or wait for random 415s?

novel breach
#

@lime wing wait for 415. Only way to get 415 is mythic raid that that currency.

#

400 is super easy to get now a days

warm plinth
#

If you're only going to be doing +10s and not going to raid, I would buy the 400s. If you're going to be doing higher keys sooner rather than later, wait for the 415s. Important to note that you can get 400 ilevel azerite from emissaries now too so if you want to wait it out and just save for a 415 anyway (even if not raiding or doing higher M+), you can just hope for good emissary rolls

novel breach
#

Agree with @warm plinth . 400 from emmisary and h raid pugs are easy. Save for 415.

warm plinth
#

Or well, if you're doing +10s I guess you can get a 415 every 3 weeks

#

@lime wing Azerite from dungeons is 370 and only drops on +0 keys. You should save your titan residuum from each weeks cache until you can afford 415 azerite tokens

#

wait hold up

#

dont buy 400s

#

you can get 400 pieces from emisaries

#

its stupid to buy 400 azerite pieces at this point

willow scarab
#

You can also pug a mythic champions kill for 415 azerite chest with pretty decent traits

brittle owl
#

^

#

also that

#

roll helm and shoulders first is what that means

#

you can get chest fairly fast with a 20 min investment each week

#

also shield

#

you should pug mythic champions every week until you have everything from it

novel breach
#

Yep. Dont waste on 400. Haha

#

There are communities out there for mythic raid pugs as well. Worth looking into if you want to push a bit for 1 or 2 kills. Sorry I dont have a link, but ask in trade chat or on here, someone might be able to invite to one of the pug raid communities. @lime wing

#

Just know they will likely expect a high raider.io score of some other requirement if you dont know someone, so expect to have to answer questions when asked. But most people that run those groups are cool.

#

For M+ - Callous Reprisal or Iron Fortress?

open bluff
#

CR is more damage, IF is slightly smoother damage intake iirc

gritty notch
#

Awesome, thanks! And M+ again - Blood Rite vs Brace for Impact? Seems like I shield slam a lot less in M+. Not sure how that plays out exactly.

ionic fern
#

I'd probably take Blood Rite for m+ tbh

#

Also, good morning.

warm plinth
#

๐Ÿ‘‹

novel breach
#

Blood rite, you will get more use. You will see slight increase on tyrannical for ss, but there is so much aoe in m+ the stat will be a larger boon. Bosses mean nothing, even on tyrannical on keys lower that 20 that it's pointless to stack for them.

#

And hello at 130am @ionic fern

gritty notch
#

Okay. Thanks!

novel breach
#

@gritty notch just think about it this way. Haste is more ip and reduced block. Its king. Tank damage, yes even as prot war, means nothing compared to making damage near zero with ip and block uptime.

#

And it's more damage with lower gcd to cap.

gritty notch
#

Okay. :)
One more question for M+. Sometimes I feel like I'm carrying my healer. Is Vengeance ever better than Booming Voice?

potent anvil
#

Long story short, no. You should stick with Booming Voice for m+

gritty notch
#

Okay.

novel breach
#

Yea, boice is a retarded amount of damage. If your healer needs you to run veng, you need a new healer. The greatest strength of prot war is the damage we bring, especially in reap. And bv is massive. Prot war burst is literally a 4th dps on aoe burst.

#

In m+ specifically.

#

Prot takes near zero damage in m+ anyways, bring the pain. Haha

willow scarab
#

Genuinely replace your healer

gritty notch
#

LOL - Okay thanks!

willow scarab
#

Assuming you have at least an average understanding of prot

#

Because it could also be your fault

gritty notch
#

I have decent understanding. Legion I did the tower, tanked the chosen, some mythic (War is an alt). I just haven't done too much this expac prot-wise and tanks are never really found for our guild M+ so I wanted to help out.

willow scarab
#

I don't know if those things are hard because I skipped legion

#

But I'm gonna assume you're good enough that it's a healer problem ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

novel breach
#

What @willow scarab means is sb uptime and ip abuse btw.

gritty notch
#

Did 15s in legion, but they felt easier, so idk.

#

Thanks everyone. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

novel breach
#

Yea wired. Just aim for 65% uptime for block uptime dump rage into IP as long as you have agro. Everything else is healers fault. Haha

ionic fern
#

65% in a m+? o.o

strong forum
#

You can have 100% relevant block uptime

ionic fern
#

Throwing % out in the air without context doesn't mean anything.

strong forum
#

Exactly

#

Hence the 'relevant'

livid totem
#

what is a mythic champion ?

ionic fern
#

Well, relevant is a wide word. :')
Relevant as in 100% uptime on all attacks that are blockable? ๐Ÿค” Doubt you can manage that in a m+ run.
Relevant as in 100% uptime on attacks that are actually going to hurt you? Jeah...maybe...depending on the pulls etc.

#

In what context @livid totem ?
Can be Mythic Champions of Light (1st boss in BoD).

livid totem
#

oh ok

#

just wanted to know how to get decent azerite gear outside of m+10 and raids

outer dew
#

Pvp

livid totem
#

yeah no.

Outlaw can only get their bis via pvp
