#

there are few emissaries however that are a huge pain

exotic spoke
#

Wm17 in 65 minutes with zero previous exposure to emissaries

hasty nova
#

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

willow scarab
#

FH18 in 90 minutes with zero previous exposure to emmisaries

dense flame
#

Not bad. Ended up failing FH 18. Group gave up.

hasty nova
#

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

willow scarab
#

I think to be fair we were joking around a lot by the end of it

exotic spoke
#

That’s easy Gus. Root the emissary and LOS pull back

willow scarab
#

zoning in and out to change gear/spec, going afk for a smoke etc

exotic spoke
#

We were too. Fucking DH suiciding to kill us all

#

Before coven fight

dense flame
#

The damage was pretty nuts in an 18 with grevious

willow scarab
#

You healer is really good to have healed the 17 triad tbh

#

FH first boss was doing unmitigated shots from 270k-340k

exotic spoke
#

That’s basically equivalent to 20 tyrannical I think?

willow scarab
#

no way higher

#

like 24

#

10 is 15
15 is 22

exotic spoke
#

We interrupted a fuck ton. I was upset when they kicked a reflect

willow scarab
#

so 17 is 24? 25?
my 18 was 26?

#

I think I tuned in for your triad kill

exotic spoke
#

How much does tyrannical buff it!

#

?*

willow scarab
#

30% iirc

exotic spoke
#

Multiplicative?

oblique garnet
#

17 is 23 ish

willow scarab
#

how does that make sense

#

is 10 is 15
and 15 is 22

exotic spoke
#

So if it’s 300% would tyrannical be additive or multiplicative? Ie 330% or 390%

willow scarab
#

+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

hasty nova
willow scarab
#

Because the hard cap on timing a 26 was being one shot by that boss on the high key

hasty nova
#

i plucked this from wowhead, but honestly wowhead has not be reliable lately so take it with some salt

willow scarab
#

Why did wowhead also say current 10 is like old 15 then

#

Nothing addds up

hasty nova
#

yeah i think it is to early in season for them to have all the answers.

exotic spoke
#

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

dense flame
#

Yeah I was disappointed that we couldn’t complete the FH.

exotic spoke
errant shuttle
#

azerite to the face feelsgoodman

willow scarab
#

An 18 fort FH one shotting dps though

dense flame
#

Even with the increased difficulty. Was kinda fun

willow scarab
#

that didn't happen in 23s last season

#

on tyrannical

#

🤔

dense flame
#

Yeah that shot was nuts

hasty nova
#

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

willow scarab
#

next week is 440

dense flame
#

Then you get grevious

willow scarab
#

this week we just opened is 410

dense flame
#

On top of the major hits

willow scarab
#

bird poo shot grievous

exotic spoke
#

30% increase in base difficulty + change in k values for mitigation?

willow scarab
#

do k values affect my rogue getting one one tapped though

errant shuttle
#

can confirm i was bird poo shot grievous on a 16 and lost my 260k healthpool

exotic spoke
#

Yes

willow scarab
#

by 60k overkill

exotic spoke
#

Maybe?

vast sedge
#

Why weren’t you safeguarding him?

exotic spoke
#

If it’s physical damage - and with the increased scaling

vast sedge
#

🤔

hasty nova
#

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

willow scarab
#

Why didn't you read discord before typing something stupid 🤔

exotic spoke
#

Lol

vast sedge
#

I did read it just sounds like you’re bitching

willow scarab
#

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

vast sedge
#

You never said that before hand

dense flame
vast sedge
#

Just talked about unmitigated hits and getting in an argument about math and key level

hasty nova
#

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

dense flame
#

Regardless of safeguard. The key is tough

#

Plus multiple voids

exotic spoke
#

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

dense flame
#

Some in decent spots

#

Some not so much

willow scarab
#

Druid is also really good for the boss with their kit

exotic spoke
#

And we went in with high spirits / low expectations. So not at each other’s throats, relaxed, and calm

#

Which helps

willow scarab
#

2300 telling me to safeguard

vast sedge
#

Lmao thinking I read you’re conversation from yesterday

willow scarab
#

it's barely a scroll up

#

that was less than an hour ago

#

time zones are crazy

vast sedge
#

LOL you looked me up. Came back to the game a couple months ago. I don’t even know who the fuck you are

willow scarab
#

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

vast sedge
#

Top 10 of what?

#

Oh logs?

#

Lmfao

exotic spoke
#

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

willow scarab
#

Curious to see how hard shit is as the seasons progress

#

Very grateful to have an 18 walking into this week

exotic spoke
#

Agree

willow scarab
#

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

exotic spoke
#

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?

willow scarab
#

Nope that's all factored into making me 700 short

exotic spoke
#

Do normal for chances at 415 to scrap?

willow scarab
#

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

fluid beacon
#

Quick question guys. About how much damage do you guys do with a Cynoic Blast as prot? ~200k? 250?

willow scarab
#

let me check log for you

fluid beacon
#

please and thanks. I've been trying to find logs

exotic spoke
#

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

oblique garnet
#

@willow scarab If you get azerite cache emissaries they give 400 residuum for 415

exotic spoke
#

It’s channel, can you block while using it fumeiyo?

willow scarab
#

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

exotic spoke
#

Really? Very nice. It’s why I was hesitant to use it

willow scarab
#

It was better last week when yo ucould cast while you used it

fluid beacon
#

Thanks @willow scarab

noble forge
#

it was also busted last week

exotic spoke
#

Yes - that’s what I hear. I’m surprised we can block while channeling it

willow scarab
#

Yeah it was great

#

I like busted

exotic spoke
#

Time to swap over to that me thinks

#

Yes yes I do

junior ivy

kindred rapids
#

Is everyone running with. Devastor instead of BV?

exotic spoke
#

No

noble forge
#

dont think anyone is

strong forum
#

Only for parsing

willow scarab
#

It's just the top people on logs doing it because it's like 2k more dps

#

at the sacrifice of tankiness

kindred rapids
#

Yes it sacrifice a lot of survability

strong forum
#

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

exotic spoke
#

I wonder how it ranks with increased up time of avatar in terms of survivability

strong forum
#

Idk if its that much higher

exotic spoke
#

Wait, do you mean you don’t think perfection gives you significantly higher avatar up time or am I misunderstanding

strong forum
#

I wasn't accounting the use of VoP

#

Or any essences

#

Purely BV vs deva

#

VoP is indoubetably very defensive

exotic spoke
#

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

willow scarab
#

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

exotic spoke
#

That’s true too.

strong forum
#

I've only just done my 1st deva raid ever so, ye forgot about that

#

Cuz I still Spam demo

#

Kek

willow scarab
#

you'll get use to not spamming devastate as well

strong forum
#

Ye that's the most annoying thing

#

Sometimes having nothing to press

#

Feeling instant anxiety

#

Where you neither have rage or ss/TC ready

willow scarab
#

and you can't see that it's doing so much passive work

#

but eventually oyu'll like it

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

willow scarab
#

that's pretty juicy tbh

dusk locust
#

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

strong forum
#

I'm not alone

#

Ninja pulling radiance with heroic leap

#

It's 25yd range @dusk locust so...

#

Pretty self explanatory, really

dusk locust
#

25yd but always hits the tanks?

#

i thought it would link someone else

strong forum
#

You can target wjo

#

Who*

#

Target your cotank or macro it, and boom

dusk locust
#

target them with the link?

strong forum
#

Click on your cotank

#

So he's your target

#

Then use the trinket

sick sentinel
#

what's a "nom heroic leap pull"

dusk locust
#

what

#

i think we're talking about different things heh

#

i mean the tether

exotic spoke
#

Nome, he’s asking something else

dusk locust
#

on zaqul

strong forum
#

Ah

#

That's always on tanks

exotic spoke
#

Yeah it matters - move together to minimize damage

strong forum
#

If your tank is dead, its someone else

#

And stay close

scenic moth
#

Unless the tank stepped too close to the orange

dusk locust
#

i was just not sure how the initial tether worked. me and my cotank were tightly stacking before tether went out each time

strong forum
#

If you're far away the tether does massive damage

dusk locust
#

so that nobody else got tethered

#

but i think i misunderstood how it worked

strong forum
#

It's always tanks, but stay close to minjmize damage intake

exotic spoke
#

Nah that won’t happen. You just take increased damage when you’re apart from one other

#

Who’s your cotank kauda?

dusk locust
#

he's a monk

exotic spoke
#

What class I mean

oblique garnet
#

You need guardian for the roar on zagul

exotic spoke
#

I hope you’re main tanking that fight

oblique garnet
#

Its huge

dusk locust
#

i am

sick sentinel
#

or feral

dusk locust
#

i figured it made sense b/c mitigation and physical

#

he's trying to pick up adds and i'm main tanking

oblique garnet
#

Ferals are rare breed

exotic spoke
#

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

oblique garnet
#

We just 3 tanked it

dusk locust
#

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?

oblique garnet
#

Well yeah if youre 2 tanking the cotank takes the adds

exotic spoke
#

That sounds like a viable option. The two tethered tanks get adds and the other tank gets boss?

#

Or vice versa late

oblique garnet
#

Only 1 other person gets the tether

#

3 tanking made the fight a joke

exotic spoke
#

Yeah. But did the two tanks tethered together tank adds or boss when you three tanked it

oblique garnet
#

Boss

exotic spoke
#

Solo tank picked adds

oblique garnet
#

Guy without takes the adds

exotic spoke
#

Kk

strong forum
#

@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:

sick sentinel
#

LMAO

strong forum
#

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

sick sentinel
#

I know you can't reset it

strong forum
#

Unless ghuun reset works

dusk locust
#

we accidentally pulled radiance 4 times when we first got there

sick sentinel
#

we tried reseting on normal

oblique garnet
#

hunter reset works but doesnt reset lust

sick sentinel
#

not fun

dusk locust
#

and ended up 1 shotting it when we actually pulled lol

strong forum
#

Kk

#

Radiance is a joke

dusk locust
#

so basically not pulling was harder than actually fighting it

strong forum
#

1st boss is the scariest of the first 3 bosses

dusk locust
#

we approached 1st boss totally wrong i think lol

#

overcomplicated it

junior ivy
#

kauda i like your picture too

dusk locust
#

haha thanks

#

didn't draw it i just found it somewhere

oblique garnet
#

i seriously hope mythic will be harder

junior ivy
#

i always think late's pic is an owl

#

when i first look at it

#

see the eyes?

strong forum
#

Court could be the 1st hiccup for mythic

#

Zaqul will the major roadblock

dusk locust
#

i'm betting ashvane will

#

that's going to be a super tight dps check and coral will have to be perfect

strong forum
#

Ashvane has to hit super hard / a ton of health to be scary

tropic star
#

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?

oblique garnet
#

@junior ivy Its goofy

junior ivy
#

the dog?>

oblique garnet
#

yes

junior ivy
#

show me

dusk locust
#

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

tropic star
#

each half of the tether takes 50% of what the other half takes

junior ivy
#

wow

tropic star
#

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

cosmic solar
#

Not sure why 3 tanks would be needed. The offtank should be able to handle all the adds right?

exotic spoke
#

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

tropic star
#

see

#

tethered tanks shouldnt be on the boss imo

exotic spoke
#

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

tropic star
#

by having the untethered tank on the boss you are stopping the bosses damage from multiplying

cosmic solar
#

Hm interesting. Tank damage wasn’t bad for us on the DH tank. It was dispels that were blowing us up

exotic spoke
#

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

cosmic solar
#

True

exotic spoke
#

VDH and BDK have a lot of self heals, which make them ideal for that role to me

cosmic solar
#

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

exotic spoke
#

And help with mobility I imagine

cosmic solar
#

Might have to give it a try and see how it goes

exotic spoke
#

I can see how it’s beneficial. Not necessary, but beneficial.

cosmic solar
#

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

tropic star
#

so

#

im pretty sure it multiplies

#

looking through logs

exotic spoke
#

Why do you say that?

tropic star
#

monk gets stagger tick for 20k dmg

#

i get 10k mind tether

cosmic solar
#

What does the tooltip says for tether

unreal scarab
#

did anything change with the azerite traits in 8.2 ?

tropic star
#

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

exotic spoke
#

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

tropic star
#

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

exotic spoke
#

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

oblique garnet

Lets see how bad 17 siege is

Thank god for that

tried a 19

Ah
Yeah we don’t have a bunch of keys to us at 17.... we dropped 1 and still have 2 Kr

oblique garnet
#

what changes?

#

it still spawns tentacles no?

sand egret
#

not more than 1

#

according to the patch notes

brittle owl

confirmed

#

although

#

i did hear people get more

#

i only got the 1

initially i thought it was bugged, then checked pnotes

#

@oblique garnet

willow scarab
#

big nerf tbh

#

you use to only spawn 2 if you did it properly

#

other than first platform

why are you so late to the party

it is fixed already

it still spawns tentacles

Thanks late

willow scarab
#

Which boss are you 3tanking

oblique garnet
#

zagul

exotic spoke
#

Conceptually makes sense to me. Just was curious - having an officer discussion about it

willow scarab
#

we thought about it for add control

#

it makes sense and will pretty likely be 3 tanks on mythijc

analog swift
#

hm that's super intersting, we had some fuckups on zaqul last night

willow scarab
#

tanks are recieving 60% more dtps than mythic uunat

analog swift
#

@oblique garnet do you ever taunt swap on zaqul? or just run protwar/brew + self healing OT

oblique garnet
#

nah i was just tanking zagul all the time

inland mesa
#

We didn't get queen fish :( tried a 19 FH too, ouch lol

sterile mantle
#

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

inland mesa
#

Bastion and deafening is azerite, essence is perfection lucid

sterile mantle
#

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?

oblique garnet

3rd boss in siege was easy o.o

exotic spoke
#

So far nothing too bad

oblique garnet
#

yeah so

#

last boss siege does keep sspawning tentacles

#

100% unchanged

exotic spoke
#

Yup

#

But slower I think?

oblique garnet
#

nope

#

definitely not slower

exotic spoke
#

RIP

warm plinth
#

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.

oblique garnet
#

they dont bolster

warm plinth
#

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

exotic spoke
#

So the way to do that boss was removed lol

warm plinth
#

I didn't realize it was that common to use the tentacles tbh

exotic spoke
#

Also late, do you control who gets tether? Is it the closest two tanks?

warm plinth
#

Er

exotic spoke
#

At high keys

warm plinth
#

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?

exotic spoke
#

Nope, hadn’t done a siege over 8

modern brook
#

what are the intial thoughts on beguiling

oblique garnet
#

Its just bothersome

warm plinth
#

Eh, I don't think beguiling is the majority of why keys suck right now, but that's all I'll give it 😂

oblique garnet
#

its not bad

#

its gonna be fun the first few weeks of figuring out how to deal with them best

warm plinth
#

It's really not that bad, but it does slow you down in some cases which is annoying

modern brook
#

I havent done keys yet, but it struck me as something that was solved before you entered the key

oblique garnet
#

after that its gonna be just annoying

warm plinth
#

Yeah it's a fixed weekly rotation I believe they said

oblique garnet
#

nah bull you have to get creative with some of the things because they are in awkward spots

warm plinth
#

Oh, I thought he was meaning that they were in fixed spots before you put the key in

modern brook
#

I meant both, tbh

#

Similar to how Infected was a non-affix / completely run ruining depending on the rng

oblique garnet
#

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

warm plinth
#

Yeah the void in the spotter pack was irritating because the artillery doesn't damage them

analog swift
#

im really liking beguiling but it just might be because it was new

warm plinth
#

But at least they made them unaffected by affixes on live...imagine them getting bolstered 😬

analog swift
#

went to do a temple "lets shroud here ....fuck"

#

i think they are still buffed by fort

warm plinth
#

Oh, is there a void in the first part of temple?

analog swift
#

yeah

#

void there

warm plinth
#

RIP lol

analog swift
#

up the hill

#

where the first dusk shit is

#

and then two in the orb room

warm plinth
#

Freehold was pretty okay. No really irritating ones in there and most had a convenient LoS spot

oblique garnet
#

What?

analog swift
#

yeah the los is easy

oblique garnet
#

no there wasnt

warm plinth
#

Wasn't what?

oblique garnet
#

freehold was awful

warm plinth
#

What? Why?

oblique garnet
#

there was emissaries literally everywhere

analog swift
#

he was talking about void ones

warm plinth
#

Yeah but no bad ones 🤔

oblique garnet
#

most of them were on really open areas?

warm plinth
#

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

sand egret
#

how are ya’ll dealing with the reflect one? have your dps keep smackin it? pets?

analog swift
#

resto just knocks it back

#

a bitch on greivous but yeah

warm plinth
#

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.

analog swift
#

they port pretty quickly, move adds if you need to

warm plinth
#

DK/priest makes for bad enchanted management lol

strong forum
#

The void behind the bridge to 4th boss is litrally insane

analog swift
#

also the tides one makes keeps going when it is transporting

#

super annoying

strong forum
#

Retarded with melee

warm plinth
#

Like where that commander patrols to Nome?

strong forum
#

Ye

warm plinth
#

We actually skipped that with warlock gate on one of the FHs we did

#

Made up the forces elsewhere

analog swift
#

@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

strong forum
#

Impossible with melee setup

#

We did get perfect count though

#

Somehow

warm plinth
#

Well keep in mind that only the void emissaries can see stealth

#

The others are shroudable

strong forum
#

Imagine having rogues

#

Kek

warm plinth
#

Well, or invisable

#

:p

strong forum
#

Strat will prolly be to use skyaggl

#

And cba

analog swift
#

oh yeah but ew didn't know where a void would be

warm plinth
#

Yeah I got you

analog swift
#

oh

#

there was also a void after snake boss

#

you can still shroud the bridge down

warm plinth
#

That's shit lol

analog swift
#

but every other common shroud is gone

warm plinth
#

Like in the tunnel with the elemental?

analog swift
#

which imo was a lot of fun but definitely caught us by surprise

#

yeah

#

i mean you could still maybe shroud the first one

warm plinth
#

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

analog swift
#

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

warm plinth
#

Idk killing 120% isn’t particularly fun lol

#

To me

lusty grotto
#

lusty grotto
#

grinding rep on alts sucks dick

analog swift
#

as long as i don't feel the need to bring a rogue to every dungeon

#

only one rogue in the guild

sand egret
#

he should start chargin for shrouds

#

"gotta pay for that vanishing powder, yo"

warm plinth
#

10k per dungeon. Does nothing but follow in stealth and shroud at certain points

#

Lol

analog swift
#

also im astonishing they didn't add back in the buff from bwomsamdi in some version

#

astonished*

sand egret
#

oh yeah I was meaning to ask...there's no training wheels mechanic post-fail

warm plinth
#

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

sand egret
#

does anything happen? Emissaries vanish?

warm plinth
#

Nope. She just says something and that’s it

#

Nothing else changed that I could see

sand egret
#

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.

warm plinth
#

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.

sick sentinel
#

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

warm plinth
#

Look it up on wowhead. They have a dressing room

sand egret
#

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

ivory peak
#

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?

junior ivy
#

hi

analog swift
#

That’s how we’re doing it too

#

Pallies have a lot of flat resist as well

inland mesa
#

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

pearl escarp
#

Anyone know if theres a point where you don't want more haste?

warm plinth
#

There is not.

modern brook
#

can we pin that?

sick sentinel
#

anyone playing pally and warry in myth+? is warry still doing more dps for you guys? its pretty equal when i play them tbh

modern brook
#

thats the 4th person to ask today

warm plinth
#

You're assuming people check the pins before asking Bull. They do not.

modern brook
#

yeah but im tryna pins ppl

warm plinth
#

I'll check your pins

modern brook
#

Can we at least get an emoji of Marok saying no?

warm plinth
#

You could just use triggered

modern brook
#

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

warm plinth
#

Depends on what essences they have too I would imagine

pearl escarp
#

Can't see anything about haste in the pins, but thanks.

modern brook
#

I mean its in the guide thats in the pins;

#

the long and short of it is go for ilvl

crimson furnace
#

..are people switchign away from booming voice and using devastator??

brisk ferry
#

no

crimson furnace
#

this is for raiding

warm plinth
#

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.

modern brook
#

yeah thats some end of tier jaina parse meme shit ur talking about

crimson furnace
#

oook

#

cuz even my roation feels off

#

since i have dead times alot

#

and with BOOMINg is so smoth

warm plinth
#

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.

modern brook
#

that only accounts for 99.99999001% of situations Ghash

#

is there a list of which benefic gear is good for prot?

spiral ravine
#

Hey guys do any of you knows which affix combination will be up next week?

warm plinth
#

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

analog swift
#

tbh that would make sense

#

tyr+ greiv was gross

#

teem+fort in any kinda is fucked up

warm plinth
#

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

spiral ravine
#

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!

warm plinth
#

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

analog swift
#

volc is nothing

#

raging is nothing

warm plinth
#

Raging/fort is god-awful

analog swift
#

i mean yeah it's bad

#

but that's still a decent week

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 😎

spiral ravine
#

What was nerfed ?

sick sentinel
#

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

spiral ravine
#

Sounds great

sand egret
#

Yeah, from a self-buff to an applied debuff. Now there's way more counter-play invovled

#

since you can immune the debuff etc

sick sentinel
#

whats the fastest azerite grind atm

sand egret
#

it's also an 11 sec duration so every other one you LoS keeps you taking only the min damage

warm plinth
#

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?

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

outer dew
#

@hot quail just go with ilvl and prio haste

abstract geyser
#

Grievous too fml

outer dew
#

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

hot quail
#

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

outer dew

For prot warrior, other stats are pretty even

And even then. Ilvl is king

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

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

warm plinth
#

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.

shut summit
#

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

Question for my tank friends. Is this the spot?

lusty grotto
#

no sorry, we're dps

sick sentinel
#

oh damn

#

How you guys feel about the Chain of Suffering trinket from Zaqul?

lusty grotto
#

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

modern brook
#

hi nim ::^)

lusty grotto
#

what up

sick sentinel
#

Can you not do the mythic essense thing yet?

#

I've done a +14 and didn't get it

warm plinth
#

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

junior ivy
#

ghash you should be yellow too

warm plinth
#

Why in the hell would they do that

junior ivy
#

you asnwer everyones questions lately

warm plinth
#

That's because I have no life.

undone sun
#

Just like me

junior ivy
#

youd fit right in with the other yellows then

#

jk jk jk

undone sun
#

Also that first response made me laugh

junior ivy
#

im going to ribfest tomorrow

undone sun
#

Nice

junior ivy
#

#

#

#

but im excited to try

undone sun
#

Oh man, getting some real BBQ then

junior ivy
#

i heard the texas guys are the best there

#

so ill probably get ribs from them

west galleon
#

is there a way to check how much you parried in a dungeon

#

?

oblique garnet
#

From logs yes

west galleon
#

damn was hoping you could see in like details

#

didn't log a dungeon haha

sick sentinel
#

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

lusty grotto
#

which trinkets

#

names

#

but yes in general 25 ilvl jumps are usually worth it

ebon lagoon
#

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.

lusty grotto
#

idol was def not a BiS trinket

#

whats the 405 trinket

ebon lagoon
#

Briny Barnacle. DPS basically :/

lusty grotto
#

use it

ebon lagoon
#

Ok. Replace the 380 or 390?

lusty grotto
#

replace vial

ebon lagoon
#

...You mean idol?

lusty grotto
#

idol yes sorry

ebon lagoon
#

Alright...

#

Sorta fell in love with this thing, hard choices.

lusty grotto
#

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

ebon lagoon
#

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.

lusty grotto
#

healing pots are not on the regular pot cd

ebon lagoon
#

Great 'oh shit' button.

lusty grotto
#

iirc it was changed in legion

ebon lagoon
#

I wouldn't know. Again, don't have the income to pay for that stuff constantly.

lusty grotto
#

healing pots are generally cheap

#

now you know though

ebon lagoon
#

Dude. I am checking right now, a single Abyssal Pot runs almost 200 gold on this server. That's...not cheap.

lusty grotto
#

abyssals are around 200g each right now and probably will go down

ebon lagoon
#

. . .

opal cave
#

Take up alchemy and herbs, it's very cheap. Only 2 Zin'anths

lusty grotto
#

200g IS cheap

#

smh

ebon lagoon
#

...I'm a Dark Iron. So much as touching plants is heresy for me.

#

:P

opal cave
#

Lol

lusty grotto
#

oh good lord

ebon lagoon
#

What? We can't all be one-dimensional metalords.

lusty grotto
#

you seem to think everyone is an alchemist

opal cave
#

Should be

lusty grotto
#

spoilers im not

opal cave
#

Bummer..

lusty grotto
#

but i do have an alchemist alt

opal cave
#

There ya go!

lusty grotto
#

and with flying, farming the mats is extremely easy

opal cave
#

Indeed it is

ebon lagoon
#

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.

lusty grotto
#

ah yes the immersion/RP kind

ebon lagoon
#

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.

exotic spoke
#

Best profession combo is obviously alchemist / blacksmith

broken ledge
#

Ztroll Prot Wars using Paku or a different one?

sick sentinel
#

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
