i thought it was on the perseverance slots

#

yeah i guess it makes sense

grand drum
#

memebeam island carries was fun while it lasted

exotic spoke
#

@analog swift holy shit - nice

#

Because shit dps are bitching when they pop their stupid fucking opener and rip Aggro

lusty grotto
#

yo riki

#

ultrasafe transporter only works inside mechagon?

#

fuck it let me test it

#

oh sweet

#

(also not worth oscilators)

#

also

#

got... drum roll

#

bracers

on chest

exotic spoke
#

No, it works from wherever

lusty grotto

ya

sand egret
#

Nim being toxic again/

#

smh

exotic spoke
#

lol

sand egret
#

love that hotfix

#

esp cuz it's a design solution built into the systemic cause. No clean-up required 😃

sand kettle
#

is the Undulating tides trait good?

exotic spoke
#

I mean, it doesn’t address the root causes of idiocy but yeah

lusty grotto
#

wait what

#

im not being toxic

#

well im obviously very toxic to the Bracers Chest

sand egret
#

that idiocy hasn't been solved in more than a decade of WoW's life, there's not fix for that

#

😃

lusty grotto
#

you can't fix stupid

sand egret
#

but at least this fix means they don't need to un-hotfix this hotfix after the neck goes away

exotic spoke
#

I have a solution blade - but it’s not a happy ending

sand egret
#

the subtext of "well....dps is always going to blow their load and not wait because we don't surface threat as an important mechanic very well" is hilarious

exotic spoke
#

There’s also a reason why, especially when we open with heroism, I always start with the boss

sand egret
#

well this is more of a multi-target issue, tbh

#

since we already have a stop-gap for that built in

#

fucking memebeam

exotic spoke
#

Yeah - no issues single target. But if I didn’t open and the other tank did I’d rip it off of them

#

Fucking ret pallies opener

sand egret
#

which is really strange

glad locust
#

so what are your guys' opinions on this weeks affixes for m+? easy or hard?

sand egret
#

as a general point, though, I don't see nearly enough tanks utilize Taunt properly

exotic spoke
#

Sanguine is always blah. Grievous hurts. Going to be rough

sand egret
#

esp in situations like that, where you can line up your fat burst with your threat multiplier

exotic spoke
#

Oh, in what way blade? Like I open with taunt to force it on me and get the modifier

sand egret
#

well since Taunt puts you at X+1% of their current threat value, you doing it immediately isn't as valuable

#

granted, DPS damage distribution throws this WAY outta way

exotic spoke
#

Ah, but it also forces them to attack you while your opener happen and gives you an increased threat modifier

sand egret
#

yeah that's the point

exotic spoke
#

So, for positioning purposes it’s mostly to make them come to me / stay where I charge

sand egret
#

it's just doing it as soon as they pull away gives you that extra leverage

#

but, in a raid setting, that's not ideal

exotic spoke
#

But, doing it at the beginning gives you the modifier on your full opener

sick sentinel
#

I HC throw at 1

#

Taunt as it's hitting

sand egret
#

Well, it's 2-3 abilities worth

sick sentinel
#

charge slam

exotic spoke
#

Yup

sand egret
#

so, for instance, you don't want to have your DC application in there

exotic spoke
#

2-3 abilities being shield slam / TC is huge to get things started right

#

Avatar while charging to maximize

sand egret
#

I do something like Heroic Throw > TClap > SS for that window

#

but yeah that's the idea. Just not like, taunting, then casting like Demo Shout and like Avatar or some shit during the window

#

or just people not leveraging the threat increase part of Taunt in general is a thing

exotic spoke
#

Oh no( you prep that shit

strong forum
#

Taunt puts you on top of threat meter for as long as the add is afflicted by taunt, if you don't deal damage within that window you'll lose said threat

#

So you have to deal damage to stay on top

#

And utilise the extra threat generation

sand egret
#

you gain threat, you just get put at +1, meaning if you do nothing and they continue to do anything , yeah they will

strong forum
#

Aka with heroic throw which then does 16x threat

sand egret
#

HT + Taunt is legit

strong forum
#

Cuz heroic throw does generate more threat to begin with

exotic spoke
#

I mean, your value doesn’t decay - you just don’t keep up with the other people that where initially ahead of you

sand egret
#

stacking those multi's is fantastic for picking up that high prioritity add

#

yeah you don't "lose" that threat

strong forum
#

Well Its easier to understand that way

sand egret
#

you just don't "gain" any more and after the forced focus part of the ability wears off, they'll go back to their regularly scheduled trucking

exotic spoke
#

I think all prot warriors realize how much stacking multipliers is the shit. Unfortunately sometimes other people catch on.

RIP UF

strong forum
#

That's just basic math

#

Tbh

#

Every diablo players knows that

exotic spoke
#

Math is hard

sand egret
#

yeah but like, a lot of the other specs can do that....

#

VDH with glaive toss + taunt

#

for instance

exotic spoke
#

Yeah but it’s not as obvious as Uf, Avatar, BOM, etc

strong forum
#

Like diablo is stacking multipliers ontop of multipliers that's based off of a simple number

#

Same thing is current wow

sand egret
#

but I know on my bear, if i'm picking up an add I'll save a GG proc and Taunt + Use that for a huge amount of initial threat at range

strong forum
#

Tfw I had to force my new cotank to play gh

#

Gg*

#

Cuz he didn't understand the value of it

sand egret
#

on ST SotF is great

strong forum
#

Same as force him to moonfire in ST

#

Cuz hes big pepega

sand egret
#

but like yeah....GG is insane.

#

tbh Moonfire is my #2 damage

exotic spoke
#

It’s been that way since vanilla. Pop all the things at once and watch numbers because they all benefit from each other

sand egret
#

in keys

#

that DoT is huge

strong forum
#

Tfw I learn guardian more in 2hrs playing guardian than him in 12hrs...

#

Feels pretty bad

sand egret
#

"easy spec" syndrome

strong forum
#

Na he's just not as invested

exotic spoke
#

Ugh, please don’t remind me of guardians

sand egret
#

no one wants to bother with the nuance 😦

exotic spoke
#

My cotank in legion was guardian. And had a stupid two button rotation.... that wasn’t good

strong forum
#

It's not a nuisance

#

It's my #3 rn

exotic spoke
#

I ripped Aggro off of him on fights with short taunts and hated it. Bitched until he swapped and we got a new tank

sand egret
#

lol, yeah...

strong forum
#

Prot > vdh > guardian > pally >>>>>>>>>>>>>bdk monk

sand egret
#

there's definitely nuance to it, esp with how you plan your rage/pooling

warm plinth
#

What are you ranking ?

exotic spoke
#

VDH based on style?

strong forum
#

Fun

exotic spoke
#

Ahh ok

sand egret
#

i need to hop on my dh since 8.2

warm plinth
#

Oh

strong forum
#

Vdh has been incredibly fun ever since it spirit bomb became a thing

warm plinth

Mine is prot = DH = pal > DK >>>>>>> Druid/Monk

sand egret
#

I liked it when it first game out, but honestly I hate it now.

strong forum
#

There's no change blade?

exotic spoke
#

It feels overly unforgiving and not fleshed out for high content

sand egret
#

Uh

strong forum
#

Like it plays exactly the same

sand egret
#

it did like 5x the damage

#

it was a fuggin nuke

strong forum
#

Well that's just you refusing to accept that tanks don't deal dps level dps anymore

sand egret
#

but the fact that it basically is an eclipsing talent is why I don't like it

strong forum
#

I'm still pumping on vdh

sand egret
#

(they nerfed it in legion)

exotic spoke
#

What level keys where you running?

strong forum
#

15s in s2

exotic spoke
#

Asking because when the DH I run with has to tank high keys (like 20+) he says he has to kite

strong forum
#

Only chill keys

exotic spoke
#

The 20s where last season

strong forum
#

Ya you had to kite way more in high keys

#

But in low keys it's hella fun

exotic spoke
#

Sounds blah to me

strong forum
#

To just pump

exotic spoke
#

Alright

#

Pump more on prot or VDH

sand egret
#

are they doing that now though?

#

since the 8.2 changes

#

Meta actually is a CD now 😃

strong forum
#

There's no dmg changes

For vdh

warm plinth

Not true. You gained 40% damage or whatever on soul cleave 😏

strong forum
#

Hah

#

A spell you use 7 times

In an entire dungeon

warm plinth

40% gain to like 4% of your damage

Shitpods for blade imo

Soul Bomb has more of a ring to it anyway

Just make spirit bomb and fracture baseline

SCleave has a cooler animation imho

strong forum

Make gluttony baseline

warm plinth
#

How do you know? 😏

sand egret
#

speaking of animations, I saw this thread today on reddit about how DKs feel "bad" to play because they just don't feel as impactful (not damage/performance wise per se)

#

and i'm here like....HI BEARS HAVE TWO ANIMATIONS CAN WE TALK ABOUT THAT

warm plinth
#

Or .5 animations if you’re in harambear

sand egret
#

i got a left hand swipe and a right hand swipe

slate ingot

I heard a large percentage are using devastator instead of booming voice in eternal palace

lusty grotto
#

reddit

sand egret
#

ironically there is a fucking cool 2handed smash animation that works but you only see it cuz of a bug

#

i swear its on purpose

They are going for parses because they don’t need survival Cobretti

I think Mangle should be like...idk how to explain it

renamed to Love Tap

Like a combination of movements but like timelapsed almost? Not sure how to put it.

I'm talking about animations lol

🗞 get 🗞 the 🗞 hell 🗞 out 🗞 bears

sand egret
#

oh there's plenty, but Rampage is like the pinnacle of WoW melee animations

warm plinth
#

Like have it do multiple swipes/lunges really quickly but like spirit animations. Idk what I'm talking about

sand egret
#

they have it now with Maul where basically the vanilla bear model ghost thing comes out of your back and attacks forward

#

but only happens sometimes

warm plinth
#

Yeah like that, but do a quick short combination of things instead

#

mangle sounds like you should be fucking shit up but the animation is trash

sand egret
#

yeah, well lucky for druids. Dreaming is our lore.

warm plinth
#

lul

sand egret
#

man I hope next expac they just give tons more animations the Rampage /Lava Burst treatment

lusty grotto
#

you guys and your animations

#

this is a small indie studio okay?

sand egret
#

you know how hard good animations are to nail? lol

lusty grotto
#

yes, no dice for a small indie studio

vestal edge
#

Fuckin 440 ritual bandages in chest :/

sand egret
#

At least that shield is calculated after IP 😃

lusty grotto
#

🤢

vestal edge
#

thats one thing i liked about dk i could stay in unholy spec all the time

#

i actually think it could be better than 420 enthrallers bindstone. stone proc only gives like 973 str but only procs like once a minute while bandages are over 500 str at all times

slate ingot
#

So I have ran into as issue. I had a 420 helm with Bastion of might and deaf crash, well today I got a 435 helm from pvp vendor. it has deaf crash and the next ring is brace for impact. shoulders dont have bastion and my heroic 430 chest doesnt have bastion. that is all the gear I have.

exotic spoke
#

Sounds like you’re using a 435 helm

vestal edge
#

i feel like the azerite armor gives alot more str and stam for a 10-15 ilvl diff than a normal piece of gear would. i think its almost always better to go for the ilvl on azerite unless u literally give up all your crashes and bastions to do it lol

exotic spoke
#

You make due, the stats on the gear is really important. So just take the best combo you can

slate ingot
#

Ya I get that but will not having bastion really play that huge of an impact in my dmg or nah

exotic spoke
#

I mean - you’d have to sim yourself for the damage difference. But, you can’t sim survivability so just keep that in mind

slate ingot
#

right on

lusty grotto
#

i rolled a chest today

slate ingot
#

i quit for 9 months came back last month at 347 ilvl and 17 neck, been grinding 16hr days while ive been off work. 425 ilvl 58 neck

lusty grotto
#

and it doesnt have BoM

#

i'm still using it

slate ingot
#

ok

lusty grotto
#

because 445 > 420

slate ingot
#

oh ya for sure

#

thanks for the input hopefully heroic drops some nice trinkets tonight

exotic spoke
#

I need positive thoughts in like 1.5 hours. When I open my chest and also get a 445 chest and possibly 430 shoulders

vestal edge
#

earthlink> crystal cara?

lusty grotto
#

offensively yes

#

defensively no

vestal edge
#

i mean is 164 armor rly anything

lusty grotto

yes

Imma just take earthlink lmao zugzug

#

415 Boralus nobles seal from raid v 410 thornwoven band?

exotic spoke
#

Does Either have a socket? If no use the 415

vestal edge
#

No

exotic spoke
#

Then you use the higher Ilvl

vestal edge
#

u guys ench everything with haste btw or just haste/verse depending on what ur low on

exotic spoke
#

Haste or crit depending on what I feel I need. Never vers

vestal edge
#

i thought it was haste-verse-everything else basically lol

#

i suck

exotic spoke
#

Not really man. You have the right idea.

It’s just that the guide is written purely from a defensive stand point

#

If you’re talking purely defensively then haste vers is great.

#

For raids

#

Crit comes into play more in m+ due to the consistent large pulls helping normalize parry rng

#

That all said - a lot of warriors doing higher content, in one form or the other, have decided based on their personal experiences that after a certain point they don’t need more defensives - but want to focus on maximizing DPS

#

That’s why you see people running devastator, reckless flurry, lots of crit in raid, etc.

So it’s not at all that you suck. It’s that you maybe haven’t reached a point where you can afford that yet. Maybe your healers aren’t strong enough. Maybe you’re not playing optimally - we don’t know. Maybe you don’t need to pump out a little more damage.

lusty grotto
#

why the hell do people keep saying vers

warm plinth

exotic spoke
#

skyhold did nim not read the guide?

warm plinth
#

Fucking poser, this whole time

lusty grotto
#

i mean

warm plinth
#

First the fucking CS ticket, now he doesn't even read the guide

lusty grotto
#

im still gearing so secondary stats don't mean shit for me

#

as they should not for just about everyone

warm plinth
#

Except Late, he's basically done already.

exotic spoke
#

I mean, just give me a weapon and trinket and I’ll optimize later

#

Still a 415 weapon.... 😦

vestal edge
#

i got the 415 shaqul axe yesterday it made me tingle

#

so why not enchant mastery tho

exotic spoke
#

BoM provides a lot of mastery and slightly devalues it

#

Pretty much it’s haste if you don’t think you have enough or crit if you want dps

vestal edge
#

I only have two of dem lol

#

honeslty with into the fray i havent felt problems with haste this whole xxpac

exotic spoke
#

@strong forum younhave what - 50% haste with ItF right?

null rank 3 as a minor on some fights is legit

#

also a fan of it being a direct benefit to magic mitigation, which is our weakest

vestal edge

feel like its too plainly defensive tho like i wish there was some kind of offensive component to it

oblique garnet
#

Was running Vop major Crucible r3 minor on ashvane

lusty grotto

r3 is offensive

sand egret
#

rank 3 is offensive

lusty grotto

anything less than that is not

Thank you Blade. Not as good as your puns though. I'm learning though.

You’re offensive blade

that being said, I'm also one of those weird tanks that enjoys it for only the defensive benefit

youre talking about dynamo right

sand egret
#

yep

vestal edge
#

i used to be like that too not long ago

lusty grotto
#

yes

vestal edge

now i just feel like im meant to literally do baseline survivability for what my skill and gear is able to do and then put everything else into damage

sand egret
#

i'll always be like this, tbh. It's the whole reason I play tanks

vestal edge
#

my mitigation is not taking damage to dumb shit and knowing mechs

#

not saying u do lol im jk

lusty grotto
#

k values will eat your face

exotic spoke

I gotta pull bigger. Found my dps from a 16 last night was higher than I thought though.

19k. Thought I was lower for some reason

Smh youre losing to guardians at that 😦

#

Give me a weapon!

sand egret

yeah...like my guardian :^)

And I know late, it’s and but not as bad as o thought.

What dps did you pull in a 16?

sand egret
#

19,001

exotic spoke
oblique garnet
#

Any specific key?

sand egret
#

😄 I haven't done a 16 yet this season so i'm yanking your chain

oblique garnet

last was wcm on 16 i did 28k but was doing alot of orbs

exotic spoke
#

Say a range maybe?

sand egret
#

but i do ~18k easily in like +12s at like only 420ilvl

exotic spoke
#

What about one with smaller pulls.

oblique garnet
#

atal was 24k

sand egret
#

explosive was cramping my style tho

exotic spoke
#

Yeah. I think I’m getting rid of cyclonic andnusing the 430 gore crusted I got last night

slate ingot
#

i use r2 vision and rank 2 lucid

oblique garnet

btw hardmode mechagon gives 2 resources for rank 3 vop and normal gives 1 this seems to be intended

vestal edge

i love the cyclonic laser but super awkward to pull with lol

slate ingot

i simmed at 20k without bastion of might riki so i should be good, nice trinket! ive got a 444 yellow card so ill use it i dont have many others

is ashvane trink good? seems good

You don’t pull with cyclonic usually

both trinkets are good

Urchin is good. Best survivability trinket out there right now

Hey @oblique garnet can you link me your io page? Just want to check something for myself.

Also, how big are your pulls?

sick sentinel
#

He is zurol in draenor

#

And the answer is big enough

exotic spoke
#

Lol kaege, I’m just trying to figure out and see how big good warriors are pulling

kind rapids
#

well it also depends on your allies to prevent dangerous casts and your healer to keep you healthy

#

so even if you pull like him you might die 😛

unkempt palm
#

Would like some input! My weekly chest got me the 440 but not socketed

sick sentinel
#

Pull sizes haven't changed that much since s2 though

#

Use the 440 for sure

young oasis
#

Guys, is Phial of The Arcane Tempest good for us? Tank dmg output

exotic spoke
#

Oh I know, I’m assuming they do that which they do already. Is it a matter of I’m bad and ducking my rotation or am I bad and not pulling big enough.

#

440 and 425 socketed imo

#

Which, I think it’s the second. It’s not an issue now - timing 15 / 16s is easy. But it’ll matter later when every dps matters to time a key

#

Just trying to get more info and make an accurate comparison and evaluation is all

slate ingot
#

Phial wouldnt be a top choice I dont believe

spice ferry
#

Honestly I think most people underestimate what they can actually pull

young oasis
#

What would be the best trinket for tank dps beside rezan?

warm plinth
#

He pulls more than he should at times Riki

#

If that tells you anything 😄

long drum
#

For raiding, should I replace my 420 Diamond Prism or 420 Bwomsamdi's Bargain with a 415 Edicts of the Faithless trinket? Having a hard time judging the power of the absorb

exotic spoke
#

I mean - I’ve been known to do that. Had two mobs with 12 stacks of bolstering. Pulled all of the trash in the room with thirdbboss of siege by pulling him

warm plinth
#

Well, Bwonsamdi's should be in the trash

spice ferry
#

420 bwoms

warm plinth
#

So

spice ferry
#

You should never have equipped bwoms

exotic spoke
#

It uh.... it ended poorly for us. Everything but the two commanders died lol

warm plinth
#

No I mean like just quantity of mobs, not being a noob and pulling mobs when you shouldn't 😂

#

He likes the mega pulls.

exotic spoke
#

That’s a pull I shouldn’t have done

long drum
#

Fair. Thanks guys.

warm plinth
#

That sounds scary lol

unkempt palm
#

Can I do the 440 and the 425? They’re the same named ring. I already logged off but I feel like I can’t wear both since they’re the same name

warm plinth
#

So you had two commanders with like 27 stacks or some shit?

unkempt palm
#

But thanks for the input peeps

warm plinth
#

Most rings are unique-equipped so probably can't

exotic spoke
#

Then 440 and 430. You can’t. Sorry I didn’t see that

#

Two commanders with 12 stacks of bolstering week 1 of season

#

It uh. It hurt

warm plinth
#

Oh I read that as they already had 12 stacks and you pulled more 😂

exotic spoke
#

We then killed two commanders with zero stacks of bolstering

warm plinth
#

Easier?

#

:p

exotic spoke
#

I mean I didn’t take 300k damage in the same 100th of a second after blocking

So yeah

warm plinth

👍

exotic spoke
#

I guess just pull bigger is probably part of the solution

warm plinth
#

I think the official terminology is "git gud"

exotic spoke
#

I know I’m bad. I’m just the least shit tank on my shit server

warm plinth
#

I still love you

exotic spoke
#

Getting good is hard

oblique garnet
#

hm i was tagged?

exotic spoke
#

Yeah

#

Was curious about your pull sizes in those m+ numbers

warm plinth
#

You should just consider yourself perma-tagged

exotic spoke
#

2-3 packs or more? Situation dependent of course

oblique garnet
#

Idk i pull what seems fun so usually big

warm plinth
#

Do you think you'd pull two packs with a void together if you could Late? That seems like a you thing to do. "Let's see if we can kill these two mobs before we explode"

exotic spoke
#

Lol so 2-3 or more

oblique garnet
#

100% i would

exotic spoke
#

Gotcha

oblique garnet
#

i tried it on the first week

#

it didnt work

warm plinth
#

RIp stationary mobs

exotic spoke
#

Rofl.

warm plinth
#

Was it the FH packs on bridge after Kragg?

oblique garnet
#

it was the first 3 packs

#

in the dungeon

warm plinth
#

Oh, that's only one void though!

exotic spoke
#

We skipped those. But yeah that’s a fun pull

oblique garnet
#

it wasnt

exotic spoke
#

😦

oblique garnet
#

i completely forgot the new sclaing lmao

warm plinth
#

Though you don't even have to pull the void on that pull

exotic spoke
#

Week 1 of season I pulled third boss in siege to pull the room. It was a bolstering week. We had a spotter

#

A few seconds later we then had 2 commanders with like 12 stacks

warm plinth
#

I wanna know why spotter hits emissaries but cannons don't

exotic spoke
#

And uh.... yeah that hurt

warm plinth
#

The cannon nerf wasn't enough?

oblique garnet
#

spotter doesnt hit void emissaries

warm plinth
#

It hits tides though

Dont know if this was asked and answered but does avatar affect the damage of pocket sized comp device trinket's on use effect?

#

it doesnt seem like it but im not sure

lusty grotto

no

real thunder
#

ok ty

oblique garnet
real thunder
#

They changed the on use trinkets in general to not benefit from damage modifier effects correct?

#

i thought i remembered reading that a while back

lusty grotto
#

they are affected by some secondaries sometimes

#

but not by cooldowns

exotic spoke

Time to roll the dice

Yes, that was changed due to Legion

Does bg have increased health?

Yes because otherwise you have fury warriors with drought all over again

Oooooooof

i was with stam flask stam food and anima

@oblique garnet Just got it with Anima fully stacked and got 1.2m

long ermine

i didn't even have to coin it

warm plinth
#

Why did everyone who bought a 445 azerite piece today get the same piece 😂

exotic spoke
#

at least it has lifespeed

lusty grotto
#

i didnt get the same piece?

#

i got harpooner's plate cuirass

warm plinth
#

Just funny that a lot of people got the BfI/IF piece.

sand egret
#

that leech tho

oblique garnet
#

@velvet hound I dont know how you are able to get that high i have 3x Moment of Glory aswell, are you perhaps running indomitable + 1 stam buff food from bg or?

#

actually yeah indomitable would probably push it to 1m

lusty grotto
#

it does

#

but anima with indom is fucking ass

#

wouldn't run it at all

exotic spoke
#

And now rolling 430 shoulders...

#

Ok.. Not completely fucked

lusty grotto
#

tf

#

why

exotic spoke
#

I didnt like my other shoulders and in two weeks I'll get another 445 piece any way

unkempt palm
#

Sorry to bring it up again but if I use the 440 and 430 here in the picture I’ll have 15% crit 12% haste and 44% mastery and I think it was around 20% versatility...that haste unbuffed kind of makes me not want to do the 440 and 430 combo with my current set up haste is like 15% unbuffed and that already feels slow when im soloing in open world content fighting a single rare. What do you guys think?

lusty grotto
#

440 and 430

#

(again)

oblique garnet
#

425 and 430

warm plinth
#

I mean, the socket is worth more than 15 ilevels tbh so you can keep the 425

lusty grotto
#

nah i wouldn't

#

but that's jsut me

#

guy is prioritizing secondaries

velvet hound
#

@oblique garnet Yeah on the Indomitable

lusty grotto
#

🤢

#

we already ran some tests into this like a week ago

#

indom anima feels like ass

#

that's the feelycraft part

oblique garnet
#

hes in bg tho

lusty grotto
#

holding anima for a 2 min and something LS due to AM is absolutely eek

oblique garnet
#

where indom doesnt matter

lusty grotto
#

ah well

#

idk

#

i never play prot in pvp

#

except maybe in wpvp

oblique garnet

you should

#

People will hate you

lusty grotto

nah

not in bgs

#

fuck that

#

there's only 1 pvp spec

oblique garnet
lusty grotto

🤷

#

i already use that in world pvp

exotic spoke
#

Also rip. You can no longer block while using cyclotronic

warm plinth
#

Did you see the tank threat buff? 🙃

exotic spoke
#

Yeah

#

But not blocking with cyclotronic >.>

warm plinth
#

Is that documented somewhere? Or you just noticed it?

exotic spoke
#

Just noticed it

#

Thought I was taking more damage while using it last night

warm plinth
#

That’s lame

mortal brook
exotic spoke
#

I mean - thats not because of leech lol

#

you should still fucking use highest ilvl

oblique garnet
#

Its actually huge that they are fixing threat

#

Its really annoying trying to hold aggro with 3 memebeams blasting at the sametime

warm plinth
#

It’s because of shit like Iris that we can’t compete against lol

mortal brook
#

okay fair call

You made Riki curse 😦

Hey guys, new to this discord, but for tanking should I use Quick Navigation or one of the new ones?

sand egret
#

if you got the cash, go force multi

#

if not, yes Quick

quick nav if you cant chain 3 shieldblock, otherwise force

brave violet

Ok cool, cheers guys

Hey everyone; What seem to be the best neck traits to run for M+?

grand drum
#

vision major and lucid minor is pretty common

lusty grotto
#

icy veins guide is your friend

rapid jewel
#

vop and what you like as minor, lucid is common, dont go anima on grevious, if you do big pulls on low keys aegis is a nice choice at rank 3

sick sentinel
#

kk awesome

oblique garnet
#

cant wait to get to 65 neck and have that 3rd minor slot deswind

exotic spoke

Late - its too LAte. Its scrapped

That feeling when you swap from 420 BoM/DC Helm of abyssal malevolence to a 445 IF/CR Overseer’s Riot Helmet 😐

so how many times do we need to do op mechagon to get rank 3 VoP?

oblique garnet

2 times if you do it on hardmode

#

4 times if normal

#

Is the uunat pants really insane for prot (M+). Just got 440 haste/mastery pants and wondering if i should replace the 410 uunat ones.

sand egret
#

replace

lusty grotto
#

replace

finite gull
#

Thats what i figured cuz of the sheer stat gain. Just wanted to doublecheck. Least the pants are useful for 1 spec 😅

long ermine
#

yay paralytic barb dropped... the on use sounds... useful/

lusty grotto
#

no

#

but if its higher ilvl

#

use it 😉

long ermine
#

it is =p

#

warforged to 420 and i had a 385 previously

lusty grotto
#

welp its a good upgrade

long ermine
#

was using the chainblade from mechagon rares

#

just need a shield now >_>

lusty grotto
#

i mean there are scenarios where you cold use it

#

the use

#

its 15 seconds, if you're not in danger

#

10% more damage is nice

grand drum
#

it decreases your damage done lol

chrome falcon
#

paralytic barb is nuts

#

like completely nuts

#

are people not dropping ilvl for it? i totally would

willow fractal
#

i got a 440 1h out of my chest today but i have been using a 430 orgozoa's barb

#

worth still using the barb ?

#

also on that ..for mythic EP would yall still use quick nav enchant on your weapon over naga hide??

oblique garnet
#

Use 440 and ive been using force multiplier

chrome falcon
#

i feel like having a defensive cooldown, if it's not great, on your weapon is so nuts that it's worth 10 ilvls

#

for progression tanking at least

upper spoke
#

Does overwhelming power azerite trait stack?

undone sun
#

the amount of haste per stack, yes

novel temple
#

cant chain 3 shield block baseline or with stacks of into teh fray?

undone sun
#

generally with itf stacks but i don't think that's a good metric to base it on

orchid token
#

@chrome falcon 10% damage is so little that there's simply no way it's worth the loss of weapon ilvl

#

i might drop 5 ilvls for it IF (and only if) I had a specific cooldown plan in mind and the extra 10% at a specific point in the fight was needed to stop a oneshot

#

if you don't have a specific plan in mind for an extra cooldown then it is useless especially if it's only 10%

#

10% is far too low to be something you can have "just in case" and expect to be able to pop it to help out a dangerous moment, it's not enough by itself to turn a dangerous moment into a safe one

#

if it didn't also cost you 10% damage done it might be a slightly different story

#

because the reality is that button is only worth using if it outright saves your life

#

because if you didn't need it to save your life then it wasn't worth the damage loss

junior ivy
#

hi

Oh you said that lul

#

Can't read

fervent cairn
#

hey, i have one question, i get "edict of the faithless" one 430 and the other 420 with a socket, which is the best

novel temple
#

similar question

#

hows edict compared to ashvane trinket

#

and would you all use both if you needed two defensives

sick sentinel
#

eyeballs tell me it looks good

warm plinth
#

@novel temple Well, you should never need two defensives since it's rare you even need one. So that question is kinda moot. Ashvane's trinket (assuming you're talking about urchin) is the best defensive trinket we have right now. As far as whether to use the socket or the higher ilevel on Edicts @fervent cairn , I would probably use the higher ilevel just because if you're using a defensive trinket, then the effect is why you're using it so you should have the better effect.

Think I know the answer but I want a second opinion. War has sea charm trink (the vers proc turtleboi one) and just got first mate's spyglass of the same ilevel (2 min cd on use 1224 crit for 15 sec). Sea charm?

junior ivy

It's a 7 sec proc with 4ppm

lusty grotto

is that for your DH? have you tried raidbotting?

warm plinth

So it's like 45%ish uptime

#

Nah it's for my war

lusty grotto

4 PPM? holy shit lmao

yeah same, especially with the kinda meh 2 min CD

lusty grotto

junior ivy
#

im a noob at pokemon go nimchip but i did a raichu raid today

#

and didnt get him

#

and im so sad still

#

😦

lusty grotto
#

have you practiced curve balls

junior ivy
#

a bit but theyre not good yet

#

when i was down to 4 balls i let my friend norm take over, hes really good at it

#

but he didnt get it either

lusty grotto
#

curveballs + great/excellent throws are best

junior ivy
#

yeh i gotta get better at curveballs

#

whatr level are you

lusty grotto
#

they incrase the catch rate

#

38

junior ivy
#

im 27

lusty grotto
#

i should be 40 by now but i long periods of time where i dont play

junior ivy
#

it takes so long to get from 39 to 40 apparently

#

like months

lusty grotto
#

i still dont have armored mewtwo

junior ivy
#

maybe a year

lusty grotto
#

ya

#

it does

#

after 35 its super long

junior ivy
#

norms been 39 for over 6 mon ths and hes just about halfway

#

its crazy

lusty grotto
#

thats why the friend thing is so good

junior ivy
#

what friend thing

lusty grotto
#

if you lucky egg when you're becoming best friends you get 200k exp

junior ivy
#

omg, i bet thats how my sister went from 3/4 into 25 to 26 and 1/3 in like 5 seconds

lusty grotto
#

did you add your friend? just send presents every day

junior ivy
#

yeah i have like 9 friends who play it regularly

#

and i added maybe 20 other people from a local pokemon go discord for my town

lusty grotto
#

ya just keep sending presents

#

i usually lucky egg both Best Friends and Ultra Friends cause the exp is so good

#

the harry potter one is fun too but i just can't get into it so i decided not to

junior ivy
#

i only got 1 more lucky egg

#

but i stocked up on balls today

#

over 300.

#

just tonight

lusty grotto
#

ya just save the lucky egg

#

maybe buy some of the boxes with coins from gym defending

#

they give several lucky eggs sometimes

junior ivy
#

ive only spent $14 on the game so far

#

all to increase item capacity and pokemon capacity lol

lusty grotto
#

yeah

#

i just do gym control "sometimes"

junior ivy
#

gym control?

lusty grotto
#

for the 50 coins every day

junior ivy
#

oh yeah

#

i found this amazing park ive been going to it every day

#

its about a 15 min walk around it

lusty grotto
#

its super rough against spoofers though

junior ivy
#

and it has maybe 20-30 pokestops

#

and 5 gyms

lusty grotto
#

nice

junior ivy
#

so i walk around a few times and i have 100 balls easily lol

lusty grotto
#

the local community in here pisses me off

#

they are just starting to use discord instead of a whatsapp chat

#

but still don't really use it except for pvp events

junior ivy
#

at the park tonight this big group of guys walked up to us and were like 'are you guys in the discord' lol

#

but it was a different discord he was tlaking about

lusty grotto
#

and also they don't really draw the line at spoofers, and invite them to everything

#

so ive been trying to lvl my pokemon to just do legendaries with only a select number of people i know

#

but its like 4 to 5 accounts at most

junior ivy
#

i love my local pokemon go discord. its really funny seeing all the older people using it , its not the type of people id uusally expect to see on discord

#

its all pics like this

#

its great

lusty grotto
#

yeah

#

pogo communities have all ages

junior ivy
#

theyre also pretty harsh on spoofers

lusty grotto
#

pretty much

#

see that's the kind of community i'd like to be in

#

but oh well

#

maybe when i move back to the states

junior ivy
#

where are you now

if you want a bit of defense flames

otherwise hmc

#

both are similar dps wise

wispy plume

yeah its cclose

#

i could go unstable for the parry chance

lusty grotto
#

ya

#

i always go flames over it for keys

wispy plume
#

im wondering about dropping alch stone for jc ring

#

idk what other trinket i woudl use tbh maybe cyclo blast

warm plinth
#

Apparently cyclo is not letting you block during the channel now so that may not be a great idea.

wispy plume
#

so is that blizz chaning it ?

#

becasue thats aids

#

or has it been that way?

warm plinth
#

No Blizzard must have stealth nerfed it. It was definitely letting you block during channel before but @exotic spoke posted earlier that it was no longer doing so. Tagging for confirmation so I don't sound like an idiot.

weary veldt
#

is the queens court trinket good?

#

better than 400 uunat/opulence one?

warm plinth
#

Is that Edicts?

weary veldt
#

ya

warm plinth
#

I think they're all fairly close together assuming equal ilevel. If you have edicts at higher ilevel than idol/diamond, it's better probably

weary veldt
#

yea edict is 415

#

which one tho i like them both so much

willow scarab
#

Edict feels better to play with them I imagined

#

Idol doesn’t feel good

warm plinth
#

I would probably use edicts too; prevention of damage > healing of damage imo

Passive stuff always feels nicer to me

@sick sentinel cyclotronic is stronger on dps

exotic spoke
#

Mechagon harde mode - wasnt there somethign for

last mason
#

would you take undying gift minor in like any scenario

exotic spoke
#

tonk arena?

warm plinth
#

No, only KUJO and Mechagon have hard modes in the latter half.

empty inlet
#

what necklace essence do people use

#

vision and lucid dream minor ?

grand drum
#

that is very popular yea

lusty grotto
#

for the most part yes

rough stump
#

hey all, is crit still hot after haste when we have the option? for m+?

finite gull
warm plinth
#

Whew

finite gull
#

Might be better than the base tussle tonks trinket i have i think

warm plinth
#

The platinum plating?

finite gull
#

Yeah

#

I have that and a 425 galvanic turbo charger

warm plinth
#

Platinum plating is pretty trash tbh. Just about anything would be better than it.

#

Oh hey it's Kaege

sick sentinel
#

@rough stump yeah, crit haste is the play when you can get it

exotic spoke
#

Hi

sick sentinel
#

Hello riki

#

@last mason not really, very little things actually do damage

rustic zodiac
#

what essence are u guys using for m+ ?

wispy plume
#

@exotic spoke did you confirm we can’t block during cyclo blast?

exotic spoke
#

Yeah

wispy plume
#

Oof

exotic spoke
#

had some people attack me, from the front, while I blocked

#

i'll test again now

wispy plume
#

I guess it’s time to pop shieldwall on pull 😂

exotic spoke
#

Yup, watched my combat log

#

As soon as I started casting it

#

When I started casting my blcok went away. I used Last Stand with Bolster

warm plinth
#

RIP

wispy plume
#

Big yikes

exotic spoke
#

Thats a Rip for me

sick sentinel
#

I never liked cyclotronic anyway

#

You can still use it on pull and stuff like void emissary I guess

exotic spoke
#

It can go and die in a fire imo

#

for M+ now

All stats are beautiful. We don't Stat Shame here

exotic spoke
#

lol

#

No but seriously, did you sacrifice Ilvl ?

quasi yacht
#

yeah you like haste vers but i believe as a tank you just want MOAR STATS

exotic spoke
#

^^ More stats is better than fewer, slightly better stats

fallow patrol
#

Nah thats not the case 🤗
Pref Haste/Versa atm but not sure if i need that much mastery over crit

exotic spoke
#

Wait, are you saying more stats isnt the case?

#

Cause, um, it is

quasi yacht
#

it is but yeah haste vers are probs the best, crit translates to parry so wantt o have some of course but i wouldnt really focus on it

#

again jsut take the biggest ilvls with most stats, then change your balance with rings

exotic spoke
#

Crit is really good in M+

#

For several reasons as well

#

But overall, you literally just take highest ilvl pieces

undone sun
#

more stats > better stats

rough stump
#

thanks kaege!

fallow patrol
#

So i can stay wirh haste>vers>mastery>crit
Ye ilvl >>all for sure

rocky flicker
#

🤔

exotic spoke
#

Sockets matter, of course, but in general you wont be wrong taking the highest ilvl

quasi yacht
#

holy fuck @rocky flicker

exotic spoke
undone sun
#

sockets only really matter on rings

warm plinth
#

Maybe the guide should have big flashing lights on it that say it's dedicated to survival only.

exotic spoke
#

Sheps, sorry missed your last post with the pic

quasi yacht
#

ya but if you optimizing dps its way more on the traits and talents so i think more stats is good in general

exotic spoke
#

But if you want dps, you'll have to sim yourself and test somethings out. Crit is a really good dps stat. Defensively, in M+, its strong as well

warm plinth
#

More stats is still the go-to. I'm more commenting on the stat priority when considering same ilevel pieces.

inland mesa
#

what's the drop for rank 3 perfection called?

fallow patrol
#

Ye but is is worth drop mastery for crit?

quasi yacht
#

you have 28 mas 16 crit they're both in the ballpark i think

Perfection-Enhancing Gearbox

exotic spoke
#

I just got it and I cant remember

quasi yacht
#

i have like 17 crit 26 mas

exotic spoke
#

Yeah those

#

You need 4 of the progression sockets. Guaranteed drop from king Mechagon. 1 if you do it regular. 2 if you do it hardmode @inland mesa

warm plinth
#

It's not worth dropping anything for anything. Stop worrying about what % your stats are at.

Soo how does everyone feel about prot with the briny barnacle?

inland mesa
#

hardmode for mount 😄 and that juicy ilvl

exotic spoke
#

No issues with it in heroic

quasi yacht
#

i think they ghost buffed barnacle it seems to hit harder now

exotic spoke
#

Oh you mean dps, my bad. Im tired and I should go to bed

quasi yacht
#

The rank 3 on visions is so underwhelming compared to the effort to get it

you're an idiot @full tendon

#

2 weeks of easy mode?

exotic spoke
#

Rank 3 on visions is easy to do ?

warm plinth
#

Woah Nim naeno

#

Two weeks of hard mode or 4 weeks of easy mode

Context?

#

Hard mode is a pain in the ass and I don't want to be doing mechagon once a week for another month

exotic spoke

lol
