Wm17 in 65 minutes with zero previous exposure to emissaries
TD salt blast in front of jes howler with tide emissary for instance is going to be EXTREMELY hard on higher keys during fort weeks
FH18 in 90 minutes with zero previous exposure to emmisaries
Not bad. Ended up failing FH 18. Group gave up.
and in KR there is a void in front of thrid boss room that will probably turn into a death skip on my 17 KR
I think to be fair we were joking around a lot by the end of it
That’s easy Gus. Root the emissary and LOS pull back
zoning in and out to change gear/spec, going afk for a smoke etc
The damage was pretty nuts in an 18 with grevious
You healer is really good to have healed the 17 triad tbh
FH first boss was doing unmitigated shots from 270k-340k
That’s basically equivalent to 20 tyrannical I think?
We interrupted a fuck ton. I was upset when they kicked a reflect
30% iirc
Multiplicative?
17 is 23 ish
So if it’s 300% would tyrannical be additive or multiplicative? Ie 330% or 390%
+5 now = +7 in last season
so why would +2 now be +1 old
17 would be 24+
these sentences are bad but the math checks out
17 = 24+
I don't know how to explain 340k azerite shot on FH first boss in an 18 other than it being the same as a 26
Because the hard cap on timing a 26 was being one shot by that boss on the high key
i plucked this from wowhead, but honestly wowhead has not be reliable lately so take it with some salt
yeah i think it is to early in season for them to have all the answers.
Because I’m comparing new bosses with fortified versus old bosses with tyrannical.
If its multiplicative then the 17 now at 443% on fortified for a boss is roughly equivalent to a 21 tyrannical bod (332% *1.3
Gus that’s not what I have
Yeah I was disappointed that we couldn’t complete the FH.
azerite to the face feelsgoodman
An 18 fort FH one shotting dps though
Even with the increased difficulty. Was kinda fun
Yeah that shot was nuts
wow head also said max loot this week would be 420 in the end of week chest but my in game chest says next week's chest will be 440
next week is 440
Then you get grevious
this week we just opened is 410
On top of the major hits
bird poo shot grievous
30% increase in base difficulty + change in k values for mitigation?
do k values affect my rogue getting one one tapped though
can confirm i was bird poo shot grievous on a 16 and lost my 260k healthpool
Yes
by 60k overkill
Maybe?
Why weren’t you safeguarding him?
If it’s physical damage - and with the increased scaling
🤔
can you intercept save rogue from bird shot? i have been intercepting rogue before that mechanic just cuz the other classes can survie it
our rogue on a 13 got to like 10% health
Why didn't you read discord before typing something stupid 🤔
Lol
I did read it just sounds like you’re bitching
We zoned out for diamond + diamond on the ret pally + resounding on the rogue and safeguarded better
I'm allowed to complain about a key being hard
I was safeguarding
Just to make that clear in case you missed it
You never said that before hand

Just talked about unmitigated hits and getting in an argument about math and key level
We were having a lot of trouble with powder shot this week on 13. On tyranicall i think that might be to hard of a mechanic. Maybe, i suppose we will have to see
Fumeiyo, I felt like we had a lot of practice on WM 20s / 21s towards end of last season. We got coven boss to a pretty smooth rotation.
Honestly, I think smashed and gim (Druid And DH in my group respectively) are two of the best players I’ve ever played with in pve. Smashed is the best healer I’ve played with. I think our spriest was also healing a lot that fight to assist
Druid is also really good for the boss with their kit
And we went in with high spirits / low expectations. So not at each other’s throats, relaxed, and calm
Which helps
Lmao thinking I read you’re conversation from yesterday
LOL you looked me up. Came back to the game a couple months ago. I don’t even know who the fuck you are
I've seen your name before so I wanted to check your dungeon experience
You're usually around the bottom of the top 10 for most bosses
Eh, knowing experience of people is always nice to see their viewpoint / perspective
Either way fumeiyo. I don’t know? Small indie company. Coven actually felt easier than ever before
Were their abilities tuned down like other bosses while FH was tuned up?
Oh, I also went full defensive for last nights run to help counter k value / scaling changes
Curious to see how hard shit is as the seasons progress
Very grateful to have an 18 walking into this week
Agree
I'm 700 TR off buying a 445 piece as soon as I open my cache
If only I had the numbers last week so I could have done a 23
17 -> 16-> 15-> and by week 4 we should be able to push 14s I imagine
Rip. You’ll be able to scrap the piece you’re replacing
That should help?
Nope that's all factored into making me 700 short
Do normal for chances at 415 to scrap?
We still have 2 raid nights left this week
so i'm praying I get 2 pieces to scrap
thurs/sun/mon weird day guild
Quick question guys. About how much damage do you guys do with a Cynoic Blast as prot? ~200k? 250?
let me check log for you
please and thanks. I've been trying to find logs
We do 2 days - Tuesday / Thursday so we’re done at 6/8H
Got good info on recruits and I know two imncutting. One for performance and the other we may Gkick for attitude
@willow scarab If you get azerite cache emissaries they give 400 residuum for 415
It’s channel, can you block while using it fumeiyo?
We sped through 7/8H in one night just inside raid hours so hopefully clear up azshara and normal tomorrow at raid
If you pre block you can
That's true! I hope we get an azerite emissary tomorrow
Really? Very nice. It’s why I was hesitant to use it
It was better last week when yo ucould cast while you used it
Thanks @willow scarab
it was also busted last week
Yes - that’s what I hear. I’m surprised we can block while channeling it
excuse you
Mines a panda. Does that count?
i love it
Is everyone running with. Devastor instead of BV?
No
dont think anyone is
Only for parsing
It's just the top people on logs doing it because it's like 2k more dps
at the sacrifice of tankiness
Yes it sacrifice a lot of survability
Not alot
Cuz I can maintain 4 stacks of BfI
Easily
So that's a huge gain in a sense
The defensive upside of BV is just the additional rage gain
I wonder how it ranks with increased up time of avatar in terms of survivability
Idk if its that much higher
Wait, do you mean you don’t think perfection gives you significantly higher avatar up time or am I misunderstanding
I wasn't accounting the use of VoP
Or any essences
Purely BV vs deva
VoP is indoubetably very defensive
Ah ok. Yeah, I was just curious about it with the change in uptime. Specifically since we have a lot more avatar up time
It may not be that much lower in terms of defensives
the biggest thing about BV is it makes you demo shout more often
because you want hte dps and the rage
so over a whole fight it does a lot more
That’s true too.
I've only just done my 1st deva raid ever so, ye forgot about that
Cuz I still Spam demo
Kek
you'll get use to not spamming devastate as well
Ye that's the most annoying thing
Sometimes having nothing to press
Feeling instant anxiety
Where you neither have rage or ss/TC ready
and you can't see that it's doing so much passive work
but eventually oyu'll like it
It's aight
I lost my 30% parry
:(
Literally lost 500 crit on Wed
Well I could Re-equip my 420 fh ring, but I have azshara ring with socket
And so does my cotank, we get like 500k healing per boss fight off of that, kinda sick tbh
that's pretty juicy tbh
do you have to be stacked properly for the tether on zaqul to hit both tanks? last night it didn't really seem like it mattered where we both were and who else was between us
and i thought we had to be stacked
I'm not alone
Ninja pulling radiance with heroic leap
It's 25yd range @dusk locust so...
Pretty self explanatory, really
target them with the link?
what's a "nom heroic leap pull"
Nome, he’s asking something else
on zaqul
Yeah it matters - move together to minimize damage
Unless the tank stepped too close to the orange
i was just not sure how the initial tether worked. me and my cotank were tightly stacking before tether went out each time
If you're far away the tether does massive damage
It's always tanks, but stay close to minjmize damage intake
Nah that won’t happen. You just take increased damage when you’re apart from one other
Who’s your cotank kauda?
he's a monk
What class I mean
You need guardian for the roar on zagul
I hope you’re main tanking that fight
Its huge
i am
or feral
i figured it made sense b/c mitigation and physical
he's trying to pick up adds and i'm main tanking
Ferals are rare breed
K. My BDK was like “let me Mt I got some pulls in on a pug. “. I said sure for the first pull
Second pull I said I’m tanking him
We just 3 tanked it
it also wasn't super clear to me what the cotank's job is since there doesn't seem to be a swap mechanic. is it just picking up the little adds?
Well yeah if youre 2 tanking the cotank takes the adds
That sounds like a viable option. The two tethered tanks get adds and the other tank gets boss?
Or vice versa late
Yeah. But did the two tanks tethered together tank adds or boss when you three tanked it
Boss
Solo tank picked adds
Guy without takes the adds
Kk
@sick sentinel the 'nom pull' is me explaining radiance and heroic leaping on the side to emulate the knockback, which then pulled the boss.
Apparently sco did the same :kek:
LMAO
So... If you're at radiance on the ring, don't randomly use TC, it'll pull the boss
And you can't reset it
I know you can't reset it
Unless ghuun reset works
we accidentally pulled radiance 4 times when we first got there
we tried reseting on normal
hunter reset works but doesnt reset lust
not fun
and ended up 1 shotting it when we actually pulled lol
so basically not pulling was harder than actually fighting it
1st boss is the scariest of the first 3 bosses
kauda i like your picture too
i seriously hope mythic will be harder
i'm betting ashvane will
that's going to be a super tight dps check and coral will have to be perfect
Ashvane has to hit super hard / a ton of health to be scary
was reading the above about 3 tanking the 2nd to last boss
why would you have the tethered people tanking boss? that just increases all the damage you have to heal?
@junior ivy Its goofy
the dog?>
yes
show me
does the tether cause each tank to take 50% of total damage or does the main tank take full damage and the cotank tanks half of that
each half of the tether takes 50% of what the other half takes
wow
so offtank is getting half of the boss dmg
and main tank still gets his by hysteria and half of the other tanks hysteria
and dread etc
Not sure why 3 tanks would be needed. The offtank should be able to handle all the adds right?
It’s not needed but it makes it easier. Conceptually it makes sense to me
It reduces the damage the tank who has the boss takes. Since that tank only really has to worry about the incoming boss damage - and not the adds
Means if the person taking the adds has to get out to pick them up, they can do that without increased damages on both tanks
It also means if the boss needs to move quickly the add tank can use movement ability and taunt it over to where it needs to go and the tethered tanks can pick it back up when they get there
So, while not necessary, I can totally see how it trivializes portions of the fight and reduces damage intake
I think they should - especially if they have self healing like BdK. They can heal the damage back up while the one with more proactive mitigation minimizes intake
It eases the hps on healers
by having the untethered tank on the boss you are stopping the bosses damage from multiplying
Hm interesting. Tank damage wasn’t bad for us on the DH tank. It was dispels that were blowing us up
It doesn’t multiple mcjiggles
It splits
And is shared. There’s a difference
Makav, it hurts if say a prot warrior ends up not actively tanking and being the tethered tank
True
VDH and BDK have a lot of self heals, which make them ideal for that role to me
So the three tank strat is really just to minimize heals needed to tethered tanks when one is ripping boss across the room
And ease add dmg
And help with mobility I imagine
Might have to give it a try and see how it goes
I can see how it’s beneficial. Not necessary, but beneficial.
Yea same
Wonder if it’s worth the dps loss tho
Idk I’m just looking for strat theory, this boss on heroic looks like a roadblock for a lot of guilds
Why do you say that?
What does the tooltip says for tether
did anything change with the azerite traits in 8.2 ?
Za'qul connects his current target and the closest player to that target within 300 yards with a mind tether. 50% of damage done to either player is reflected to their partner as Shadow damage.
Reflected damage is increased after the players seperate beyond 12 yards from each other.
If no other target is found, the current target suffers Snapped.
its reflected
doesnt say its also reduced
Fair, I thought it said split not reflected
Adds do more burst dps - that’s why
Adds did 80k dps to the bdk I ran with when multiple where up. Boss only maxed out at 60k for a few seconds on em and usually was below 40k
were they the adds you get after an add has been up too long
the adds the portal summoned didnt seem to do hardly anything
but if one lived too long it summodn a new add that was doing a shadow claw for 200-300k shadow damage on heroic
Horrific visions - I don’t think so. I think they died quickly
And no - not shadow claw. Basic melee attacks -40k per attack but with multiple hitting at the same time
Individually not much, but with multiple it just makes more damage done in short bursts
It wasn’t the issue, but helping healers out so they can top people off more quickly seeks beneficial
Lets see how bad 17 siege is
gl with third boss
Oh?
Siege should be aight, 3rd boss bleak water could hurt
Ye. That's gonna be either a close call or clear insta
Thank god for that
Ah
Yeah we don’t have a bunch of keys to us at 17.... we dropped 1 and still have 2 Kr
confirmed
although
i did hear people get more
i only got the 1
initially i thought it was bugged, then checked pnotes
big nerf tbh
you use to only spawn 2 if you did it properly
other than first platform
spotter doesnt work on emssaries is big yikes
warrior guardian and pally
spotter works on the cc lady atleast on wednesday it did in my siege run
Thanks late
Which boss are you 3tanking
zagul
Conceptually makes sense to me. Just was curious - having an officer discussion about it
we thought about it for add control
it makes sense and will pretty likely be 3 tanks on mythijc
hm that's super intersting, we had some fuckups on zaqul last night
tanks are recieving 60% more dtps than mythic uunat
@oblique garnet do you ever taunt swap on zaqul? or just run protwar/brew + self healing OT
nah i was just tanking zagul all the time
We didn't get queen fish :( tried a 19 FH too, ouch lol
Starting to get back into Prot warrior. what is the best azerite combo. Still good to run 3 bastion, 1 deaf, (whatever)
i mean essence combo
Bastion and deafening is azerite, essence is perfection lucid
i figured perfection main lucid second
that's what most are doing
With the magic damage in this raid tier, has anyone played around with using bloodsport?
3rd boss in siege was easy o.o
So far nothing too bad
RIP
The Siege tentacles were bugged for like a day but it was fixed before wowhead even posted that it was a thing. We did a Siege before they posted it and it was already spawning all 5 tentacles again at the normal rate. I would not be surprised if the spotter thing is also a bug, but not sure on that since I've never done that strategy. The maggots in WCM were still bursting but apparently they don't bolster (as far as I've heard) so I'm guessing that's a bug that just hadn't been fixed yet when we did it right after Siege.
they dont bolster
So very likely that, if anything, the spotter change is the only real change. But haven't heard anyone confirm/deny yet.
And it still wasn't in the notes from Blizzard so I doubt it's real
So the way to do that boss was removed lol
I didn't realize it was that common to use the tentacles tbh
Also late, do you control who gets tether? Is it the closest two tanks?
Er
At high keys
To use the spotter on the tentacles
Well, again, that may not actually be a real change. Have you tried it since the season started?
Nope, hadn’t done a siege over 8
what are the intial thoughts on beguiling
Its just bothersome
Eh, I don't think beguiling is the majority of why keys suck right now, but that's all I'll give it 😂
its not bad
its gonna be fun the first few weeks of figuring out how to deal with them best
It's really not that bad, but it does slow you down in some cases which is annoying
I havent done keys yet, but it struck me as something that was solved before you entered the key
after that its gonna be just annoying
Yeah it's a fixed weekly rotation I believe they said
nah bull you have to get creative with some of the things because they are in awkward spots
Oh, I thought he was meaning that they were in fixed spots before you put the key in
I meant both, tbh
Similar to how Infected was a non-affix / completely run ruining depending on the rng
Like for example on siege on the first spotter
There was a void emissary
and then in the 3rd boss room there was enchanted emissary on the left and tides one in the back
Yeah the void in the spotter pack was irritating because the artillery doesn't damage them
im really liking beguiling but it just might be because it was new
But at least they made them unaffected by affixes on live...imagine them getting bolstered 😬
went to do a temple "lets shroud here ....fuck"
i think they are still buffed by fort
Oh, is there a void in the first part of temple?
RIP lol
Freehold was pretty okay. No really irritating ones in there and most had a convenient LoS spot
What?
yeah the los is easy
no there wasnt
Wasn't what?
freehold was awful
What? Why?
there was emissaries literally everywhere
he was talking about void ones
Yeah but no bad ones 🤔
most of them were on really open areas?
I mean, there were some that made you have to do the pull differently but they weren't like oh fuck this is impossible
We didn't pull like...any of the ones in the open areas
Except the one on the bridge going toward shark boss
Which was an enchanted and easily dealt with
how are ya’ll dealing with the reflect one? have your dps keep smackin it? pets?
We had our hunter deal with it in one run and a frost mage dealing with it in the other. Didn't have good heals/tanks for it.
they port pretty quickly, move adds if you need to
DK/priest makes for bad enchanted management lol
The void behind the bridge to 4th boss is litrally insane
Retarded with melee
Like where that commander patrols to Nome?
Ye
We actually skipped that with warlock gate on one of the FHs we did
Made up the forces elsewhere
@warm plinth we ended up pulling liek 120% in the TOS, gotta find the good shroud points but was too afraid to use it anywhere lolol
Well keep in mind that only the void emissaries can see stealth
The others are shroudable
oh yeah but ew didn't know where a void would be
Yeah I got you
That's shit lol
but every other common shroud is gone
Like in the tunnel with the elemental?
which imo was a lot of fun but definitely caught us by surprise
yeah
i mean you could still maybe shroud the first one
Eh that's not as bad as if it were like...with the dervishes lol
But on PTR there was one in the dervish pack so I'm guessing we'll see that another week
yeah yeah
i was more focused on shrouds then anything
cuz legit
idk what we could have skipped in that dungeon
i guess we could skip the first two...and the bridge
that's legit it
maybe some of the mobs after the first maze
and the lightnig guy after the 2nd maze
that's about all that you can skip this week
which made it fun af
sloot playing prot pal lmao wat happen to vdh
Imagine if that idea of castable LoS as a Prot utility was in play. BiS on them Void dudes
Lol
i gotta level up enchanting christ
and ya'll wondered why I said it'd be "problematic" 😃
grinding rep on alts sucks dick
as long as i don't feel the need to bring a rogue to every dungeon
only one rogue in the guild
10k per dungeon. Does nothing but follow in stealth and shroud at certain points
Lol
also im astonishing they didn't add back in the buff from bwomsamdi in some version
astonished*
oh yeah I was meaning to ask...there's no training wheels mechanic post-fail
Yeah tbh when I saw her say kneel to your queen, I thought there was gonna be like her image in there somewhere and we’d have to kneel to it to get the buff.
But nope
does anything happen? Emissaries vanish?
hmm wonder if they ended up not liking the fact that it made completing a key easier (ilvl creep) or if they realized people just stopped leaving keys as much on fails.
seems like a pretty calculated omission, imho.
Yeah idk. It’s gonna be missed though.
Right you don’t implement something like that for a season and just scrap it for no reason.
guys should i go Belf female? how do they look as warriors? my DK is female belf but i feel like i like female belf way more than other races for some reason
Look it up on wowhead. They have a dressing room
that's a weird way to write "dwarf"
but yeah, it was like a targeted mechanic to curb player behavior. Seems really odd to omit, so I imagine that behavior ended up changing that was independent of the mechanic
My raid team has me a prot warrior and another prot pally as the tanks. For Zaqual wouldnt it be better to have me tank the boss and the pally take the mind tether? It looks like the majority of the boss damage is melee which I feel as a warrior we can mitigate much better than paladins, and i feel useless against the damage from mind tether , but the pally could self heal and other stuff?
hi
Yes crippie, or just 3 tank and trivialize it. We did me on boss bdk off tank
if its a problem and youre out of SB charges just have him taunt for a sec while you recharge again, but you shouldnt need to
Anyone know if theres a point where you don't want more haste?
There is not.
can we pin that?
anyone playing pally and warry in myth+? is warry still doing more dps for you guys? its pretty equal when i play them tbh
thats the 4th person to ask today
You're assuming people check the pins before asking Bull. They do not.
yeah but im tryna
ppl
I'll check your pins
Can we at least get an emoji of Marok saying no?
You could just use 
re: pally vs warrior - in my experience, warriors still out damage paladins, but i havent played with very many protpallys
so its possible my sample is biased
Depends on what essences they have too I would imagine
Can't see anything about haste in the pins, but thanks.
..are people switchign away from booming voice and using devastator??
no
this is for raiding
Devastator is for DPS on pure single target, nothing else
As soon as you add a second target, Booming Voice takes the lead again. And BV is better defensively at all times.
yeah thats some end of tier jaina parse meme shit ur talking about
oook
cuz even my roation feels off
since i have dead times alot
and with BOOMINg is so smoth
Yeah, you should be using Booming Voice 99.99999% of the time, and the other .00000001% of the time is only if you're trying to get parses on single target fights.
that only accounts for 99.99999001% of situations Ghash
I didn't count my zeroes, sue me
K
super, ty u guys!!
Thyme you're so eloquent
thyme
⌚
is there a list of which benefic gear is good for prot?
Hey guys do any of you knows which affix combination will be up next week?
Kinda hard to say because they keep changing shit. It looked like it was going to be backwards from the existing rotation, but then two combinations so far have been changed (this week was bolst/griev/tyr before, not fort, and burst/quake is now burst/volc)
So maybe teem/explosive/tyrannical? But that's purely a guess
tbh that would make sense
tyr+ greiv was gross
teem+fort in any kinda is fucked up
domaiN is tracking the new affixes so we'll either notice a trend soon or we'll have to wait a few months to get a new schedule
Yeah I noticed they are messing around with the schedule , I thought there was a new one established already, guess we will just have to wait and see , ty!
But keep in mind if they do teem/exp/tyr, then if they continue the next one would be raging/volc/fort which would be fucking awful.
So I'm guessing we'll see some switch-ups
Raging/fort is god-awful
It's like...really bad
guys
what about
Anima of life and death essence
it is good for us?
seems good
Vision major, Lucid minor for now probably
ooo that Void Emissary nerf
glad I didn't have to deal with the OG version
just in time for me to do my keys this weekend 😎
What was nerfed ?
her hide stacks are now a debuff on you that you can get rid of by LOS/OORing her casts
instead of a perma buff on her
Sounds great
Yeah, from a self-buff to an applied debuff. Now there's way more counter-play invovled
since you can immune the debuff etc
whats the fastest azerite grind atm
it's also an 11 sec duration so every other one you LoS keeps you taking only the min damage
Mythic islands with a premade group probably
Like a legit premade group I mean. Just to clarify
aww, so even for aoe dps purposes the big hits from Anema doesn't outweight more avatar?
was having fun using the essence for big burst
with Visions as minor
Still messing with lucid right now.
Maybe sphere maybe CoF
how good is platinum plating trinket for m+? i feel the CD on it to long
I think it’s garbage.
With how much we mitigate we tend to want to go for offensive trinkets too
ok, sticking with vial then
you might wanna look into getting the trinkets from Lady Ashvane and Orgozoa
both sim really high
Ashvane in particular if you're M+ focused
(dps trinkets, you'll have to change loot spec)
or getting the Sundering inscription trinket, i think its better than almost any other 430
its very good for dps ye
https://i.imgur.com/Rplm4nv.png oh my god
Only 19 mil? Pshh
How far over was it?
@sick sentinel +5 gives 415 too
5 and 6 both give 415 loot.
@warm plinth just 1
oh shoot, i thought it capped at 6
yeah I think officially that's the cap but it just so happens they give the same ilevel
.....hour
Eh, gonna get some nice TR though!
absolutely not
22,400 TR from a 16
#LastStandForVic
That's almost half of a 445
Honestly worth bricking those high keys you had from last season to get the residuum
Just smoke something and take your time
Unless you're getting smoked by boss mechanics anyway
wholeheartedly agree. and holy shit
someone spent 4 hours in WM 20
Nerf is streaming a 21 shrine and they already depleted before pulling second boss lol
Haha
Hey I'm new to tanking in BFA, I was just wondering how you guys choose your gear/traits, do you do it based on survivability or dps or something else?
Can you get the sphere of suppression if you’ve already chosen blood of the enemy?
Should be able to buy it with marks of honor from the pvp vendor guy
is the essences page on icyveins correct? vision of perfection / lucid dreams for raids?
yes
thx
is our weapon enchant still quick nav?
hizza!
i know it probably won't last long but it feels good for now boys and girls!
world rank 16 and alliance rank 6 prot warrior tehe
well those are my prot warrior raider.io score
2 overall tank on proodmoore
so i think we are fine
depends a lot on healer
Play whatever you enjoy
you are only allowed to enjoy prot warrior
)
Catfriend toxic AF
i dunno lol
Then again
Warrior is fine
My warrior is a female did
hey guys i just read the 8.2 prot warrior guide on wowhead by a guy on here, i was wondering if anyone has a pawn string for it?
Do we pair well with a disc priest?
Disc priest doesnt pair well with anything in m+
My buddy mains disc and I feel like I’m always at 50% health
Disc priest is depression
One of the best priest for NA Alliance gave up and rerolled hpal
It’s super fucking annoying to tank always at 50%
Priest is in a terrible spot for m+ atm
Yeah feels that way
@hot quail just go with ilvl and prio haste
Grievous too fml
Most of the time pawn strings dont matter since stat weights are dynamic
Sometimes you put a ton of mastery, and then vers value goes up
Etc
hmm okay, thank you! i thought since the guide just says haste and whatever on everything else that maybe i could find a pawn string to find out how whatever the other stats are
mm okay, thank you!
second question btw, do you also have major issues with shrine of storms this week or am i doing something wrong
Shrine in general is not a great dungeon for prot
Very magic heavy and is really punishing with the mini bosses if youre not prepared or on comms
Is a good shield super important for prot? I feel fairly squishy but have a garbage shield. Dunno if it’s just bad play or the itemization
block value is big
high ilvl shield is the most important thing of a warrior
That’s what I figured, just can’t get one to drop and have to use this 370 garbo 😭. Thanks.
@unborn agate what faction
Alliance. Probably just going to end up dungeon spamming for one
ok, was thinking if you had dps os i could lootshare for you
Is warrior still going to be the best tank of do you reckon paladin of something else will take over? M+ only
what would a +10 be on the old scale?
I did a temple 10 on my Paladin without too many issues but yeah gonna take a bit to get used to the new affix
Oof
i have 415 vial with leech and socket lmao
are we still using quick nav enchant ?
either that, the scale one or force multiplier i think, your choice?
Has anyone determined if the Hackable red punchcard is better than the original one. Last I heard it was up in the air and dependant on your yellow cards stats.
Subroutine Optimization vs Subroutine Overclock
does vision still give a partial-strength BoM proc
or is it full strength short duration now?
Partial str partial dur
guys you think warrior will be the best tank this season too?
I mean, I do think they'll still be really strong but the best tank I think would depend on the fight.
on mythic plus
^
but you might wanna throw in an block trait
cuz chances are you dont have a 440+ shield
and block value is very important right
bfi
@polar pawn I see u in the prot pally disc, you best not be stepping out on us
@unborn agate what is the problem on ask for opinions? xD
you just need more block to reach the old amount of damage reduction
like a 420 shield is like 30% DR in m+
what does a 10 feel like rn, medium? or actually hard
oh forgot aboout bolstering fort
like current week is the hardest week possible
yikes
and GRIEVOUS
literally hardest possible week
So have you been taking way more defensive traits lately, or still just the usual
na just the usual
what're the best trinkets for prot dps wise in the new raid?
dribbling inkpod is pretty insane
guys, do you know any spreadsheet / tldr guides to operation mechagon?
- Don’t die
- Stay alive
- ???
- Profit
Hard mode was hard 😅
does anyone know if you can do normal warfront and then heroic warfront afterwards or do they share a lockout or whatever?
i done heroic and got both quests complete
it takes ~30 mins, some bosses have realy big hppool, but it was not hard
Is it basically the exact same as the normal one just harder mobs?
yep
Thanks
i cant seem to be able to queue for it
even though i have a group of 15
@pallid helm
so apparently horde stormgarde cycle started before tuesday so
you can't pick the heroic version
horde NA, that is
anyone know how mechagon hm works as far as people being saved to bosses?
if you killed a boss non-wm earlier in the week can you participate in a hm run
or do you screw it up
It's honestly kinda hard to say because to my knowledge the only other hard mode instance before this was a raid. FWIW, Mythic dungeons are saved per boss, so theoretically you should be able to go in and do the HM boss.
you can do them if someone else zones in first
but each player not saved to boss = 20% chance for loot
so more saved players you have more likely you are to get nothing for the unsaved people
If you do hm while being saved i dont think the mount drops
Even 50 would be decent.
calm down satan
Better than having all these crates in my bank
i mean ive been trying to fish for that haste trinket
and crafting the future thing and whatever
so thats how im so low on them
Ouhhh yeah I have the vers pylon
eww
It’s 425 though
ya i mean my rezan is still 400 so
Been using punch card recently for wPvP
Because you don’t get many galvanic
So that people like us can’t farm an ideal titanforge trinket
hi
Hi catfriend
Hi
Yeah, till late tomorrow
In the mountains
Took this time lapse while going up to the peak https://streamable.com/auv1y
Wow that's awesome
looks beautiful
Question for my tank friends. Is this the spot?
no sorry, we're dps
situational
good if you're hugging offtanks
absolutely bad for M+
unless if... you got an hpal friend 😉
dunno, can you mention which tank buster mechanics will require you to transfer off 50% dmg
i suppose its possible there might be a few next week
hi nim ::^)
what up
It has to be in time
7 or higher, in time
And you don't need rank 1 to get rank 2. Doing a +7 in time will automatically grant you rank 2
ghash you should be yellow too
Why in the hell would they do that
you asnwer everyones questions lately
That's because I have no life.
Just like me
Also that first response made me laugh
im going to ribfest tomorrow
Nice
they have bbqers from texas and alabama and stuff
which is weird
all the way in eastern canada
but im excited to try
Oh man, getting some real BBQ then
From logs yes
is the essense from the dungeon even worth it
Scuse me, I got a 405 trinket from M+, I have a 390 blue from a world quest and the LFR version of Indiscriminate Consumption. Should I replace the lower item level or the blue?
*The LFR trinker is 380
Idol of Indiscriminate Consumption, 380
Ritual Feather of Uung Ak, 390
I know, but I figured this isn't a BiS trinket, and Idol was considered a BiS trinket before 8.2, that's why I'm hesitant to replace it.
Briny Barnacle. DPS basically :/
use it
Ok. Replace the 380 or 390?
replace vial
...You mean idol?
idol yes sorry
its not hard at all
25 ilvls of str
and more dps
if you need the healing get the new heal pots
on that note: rip getting healthstones from garrison
No thanks, not supporting the AH whales >.>
Besides, you can only pot once a fight. This was maybe half your HP back in a big group on a minute cooldown.
healing pots are not on the regular pot cd
Great 'oh shit' button.
iirc it was changed in legion
I wouldn't know. Again, don't have the income to pay for that stuff constantly.
Dude. I am checking right now, a single Abyssal Pot runs almost 200 gold on this server. That's...not cheap.
abyssals are around 200g each right now and probably will go down
. . .
Take up alchemy and herbs, it's very cheap. Only 2 Zin'anths
Lol
oh good lord
What? We can't all be one-dimensional metalords.
you seem to think everyone is an alchemist
Should be
spoilers im not
Bummer..
but i do have an alchemist alt
There ya go!
and with flying, farming the mats is extremely easy
Indeed it is
I'm an engineer. Because I figured, the DI racial armor has a Warhammer feel to it. So obviously getting a Gyrocpter mount was the next thing.
ah yes the immersion/RP kind
The 445 headpiece down the line doesn't look bad either.
Sure Titanforging and Warforging are a thing, but that's RNG, so it's nice that crafting professions get to make at least something that's equivalent in item level to Mythic drops.
Best profession combo is obviously alchemist / blacksmith
Ztroll Prot Wars using Paku or a different one?
is anima of life and death decent
or VoP still go to
I usr VoP
As long as I am in combat, I have avatar up
When my avatar runs out I go IP>demoshout>IP and avatar is off cd again
Just don't have it
so I was wondering if it was good enough to go for it
Go for it
I'm currectly loving it
