I recommend you try him tonight if you can
do you have logs?
Waiting for them to upload
ok so just we're clear
If it's something we are fucking up please let me know
He's stacked right on me man
the only time we aren't is when I drag the boss to the eruption but its never more than 5 yards
well i mean there wasn't a hotfix between yesterday and today
min dmg on bdk was 8k (probably with AMS) and max was 124k on my kill
to your 62k min, 400k max
the off tank is a blood dk main he's got like 20 ilevel on me so it's insane hes getting one shot with over 500k hp
he switch to his pally because he said his death strike wasn't doing anything for him
Click on your link
like i said he was on a 441 blood dk but was getting 1 shot so he switched
👀
23% mitigation 👀
I'm padding and barely use mitigation but have 68% uptime
To be on 23% you're not even trying to mitigate
No wonder there are deaths
Yeah, killed heroic za'qul last night, it seemed fine. Monk MT, warrior OT. The damage on the OT is a lot higher, obviously, and if healers aren't expecting it you can drop fairly fast.
Biggest hit on the OT we saw was uh, 110k?
that sounds about right kildar
nah something weird is going on with it (at least in mythic)
well i mean, like i said
24k hit on warr, hits dk for 380k or w/e
and they were on top of each other basically
3 people have mentioned it tonight, the first guy which i still have the log open had a BrM MT that purfied at max twice
the 2nd person said "nvm im dumb" and left or something
and the 3rd person is Moard
sorry was on boss.
23% mit doesn't seem right.. I may not have my mits up 100% but I know i'm not sitting on shield block off cd
You were casting ignore pain when you didn't have the boss, but then not casting it when you had mind tether
hotfix was around 2 days ago
still tho nimb mt myrmidon ot sea witch way to go right?
blizz and patch notes are definitely always accurate and ontime
lmao fair enough sense
We're just a small heroic prog guild so in no means am I a mythic raider but jeeze if thats what killing us then I'll need to review
Could definitely be a problem on blizzards end
but your mitigation should be minimum 50% if you're playing half properly
So you put the two together and that's a dead tank 100%
i wish we could see if they were having red tethers somehow though
i checked
but i'll keep asking for logs just in case
let me check
yea can see in replay
wish we had logs up from when I was MT because I normally MT that boss
ok i see
Are you using raid cooldowns for dread
yeah
its shitty but other people have found temporary ways around it by 3tanking
I see one rally and it's not during dread
fwiw
And no other raid cooldowns
logs have to be fucked we had salv and hym going
I'm specifically looking at wipe 3 if that's relevant
its odd that our first 6 attempts aren't in the log either
yea 3tank / have tank without tether tank the boss
do you have logs @tawdry hound ?
until (if) something changes
just wanna compare
its fine
Was it broken the week of release
Because those dtps numbers are what we had the first week of heroic
week 1 kill
Have checked every single tank disc. Everyone is talking about it and providing logs
Something went wrong today and the damage you take from the tether is insane.
It's unclear whether or not this is intended. But for now we recommend three tanking it instead.```
what we've finalized
Was it also broken week 1 though
i dont think it was that hotfix
they broke something today
i did it after that hotfix
Yea it was today.
def something different
¯_(ツ)_/¯
There was some update earlier in the day today
hmm
yeah this one
in this one the monk is playing correctly from what i can gather
270k hits
he dipped down on a dread
and died after that from the tether
on wipe 11
hold up
this warrior
blocked 24%??????
of melee this?
casted SR 4 times, demo 3 times
Zaqul is horrible right now
no fucking wonder the monk was getting railed
I just got destroyed through blocks IP everything
Shield wall iron bark everything
you cant block tether...
Point of me saying that is
warrior tanks boss, thoughts?
whut
Za'qul Melee hit You 28,724 Physical. (34,823 Blocked) (28,723 Absorbed)
👀
and he was the main tank?
if the MT is getting fucked in the ass that's 50% damage the off tank will take
for us it was just offtank getting wrecked by mind tether. boss melee wasn't doing much
but based on logs i wasn't mitigating enough/correctly
im linking @past drum logs though
It sounds like a mix of bad players and boss issues
I'm notoriously bad for my mitigation uptime and i still get 60%+
these players are linking sub 30
im kinda surprised all discords are mentioning it without going through basic mitigation
Even if it's bugged you can kill it if you play properly
I mean it's ..... heroic zaqeul
Even if the bug makes it do 40% more damage the mit levels here are more than a 40% damage increase anyway
that's damage that's going to the other tank
Not my logs just someone
this warrior isn't playing right at all socks
like
hes downright doing things incorrectly
that's damage redirected to his OT
And tether is 100% you mean right?
its 50%
link the change
Sec on phone
100% is fine if you mitigate properly
Mind Tether now reflects 100% (was 50%) of the inflicted damage to the Mind Tethered partner on all difficulties.
Thank you
i'm reading multiple logs of it being bugged as well
fresh on wowhead
the 100% change was live when i did it
has to be something they did today
but every log ive seen
is just tanks playing incorrectly
but we'll see
curious if logs are busted due to the changes they put in today
that could also be true
Maybe the 400k hits only come in when there's a hole in both tanks mitigation or something
like you need to give zaqul the option to hit 400k
instead of it just rolling a dice like hmm do i fuck them on this auto or nah
Surely the code checks mit as it calculates the attack
well i suppose i was skeptical about it considering the logs we were being linked but if its happening to sense's guild i gotta think its def a bug
Looking at my past raid logs my mit is almost always around 60-70%
yeah so timmy the dev probably did something on the code today
I donno whats up but the ones I linked tonight here I was off tanking which I normally don't do on that fight
figured since offtank takes 75% shadow damage I would ignore pain instead of shield block
I'm relieved lmao
yeah
Is there a bug with Za'qul on heroic currently? Our off tank is taking absolutely massive damage from mind tether
yes
Un workable at the moment I assume? There are 300k and 400k hits flying out
3tank it
set up the tether and then 3rd tank comes in for aggro?
pretty muchj
Good thing I killed it Tuesday /shrug
possible good news though https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/448727637444001792/609230832678338610/unknown.png
Can the horde get a dwarf race I wanna be a dwarf :(
hey folks just to let yall know zaqul is bugged
if ya off tanking ya taking 100% unmitigated damage
Nim who hurt you
wdym i said thanks
oi sorry m8 just had my dh almost die during our kills on heroic and figured maybe folks arent aware
I joke Nim I joke
On herioc to? @pallid berry for he didnt hurt that much last night
he was getting close to death, sac on cd
it didnt happen yesterday
dh be that way
its on wowhead guys
we know now
🤷
Aha
Any idea on not getting crushed on the Za'qul fight since the new "hotfix"?
Don't be the off-tank 😄
Seems legit
You can't take that much damage? Pshhh
sense mentioned 3 tanking it
set up link first then have a third tank grab the boss
dont go more than 12 yards from other tank
🤔
B u g g e d.
Yea man just survive the 300% damage 4head
Good morning 😃 I'm not a great tank i admit, but i want to be a better one ! Do you have any advice for me ? For example is my actual stuff good ? And is there a CAP to reech for hast stat ? Thank you for your help.
is meticulous good?
@spare viper MS is very good.
@prime sundial
No there is no haste cap.
The general idea is ilvl->haste->w/e so always pick your highest item level item.
Gearing wise - nothing much to say as long as you follow the advice above you'll be fine.
(my english is not very good :/ ) what is w/e ?
What ever.
So prioritize item level then haste and other than that it does not matter too much since most secondaries are very close in value.
i have fully gem in haste, is it a good choice or maybe i must put some versaliy or strength instead ?
Gemming haste is a good way to go.
my dmg i very low 😦 and the demon hunter tank playing in my guild make more dmg than me and i often lose agro
You're doing something wrong if that's the case
That seems more like a rotation issue.
You should look at improving how you play rather than looking at your gear
i'm following the icy guide rotation :/
Can you link your logs in #449510248579858432 ?
People always think they follow the rotation but there's thing you just can't see when you're playing - hence it's good to go over the logs to see what you missed.
These are your casts:
Devastate should NOT be your most used spell.
The DPS priority should be SS->TC->Revenge->Devastate.
So only use Devastate when literally everything else is on CD.
You also don't use Avatar on CD - 4 casts of Avatar in a 5m fight is too little.
Due to using Devastate so much you are also missing casts of Thunder Clap/ Shield Slam.
Thunder Clap, Revenge and Devastate all have a chance to reset the cool down of Shield Slam.
ok so better use revenge and TC isn't than devastate to reset SS ?
Yes.
Shield Slam->Thunder Clap->Revenge.
i doing the same exact thing as you @prime sundial
You are also using a Stamina pot - should swap that to a strength pot.
and its a bad habbit that we need to get out of
about casting davastate ?
i managed to fix my TC and Avatar casts at least
using it like a mofo all the time
yhea @prime sundial
Thx a lot for your explanations Mwahi 😃
and i must use always as it available AVATAR ?
so i might be able to fix the dps
if u are using VOP and have the right azerite traits
VOP ?
avatar is offensive and deffensive at the same time, its just insane for us atm
essence, vision of perfection
the one you get from mecha-bots
five minute fight for me, avatar is around 67%uptime
that is shit tons of avatars 😄
https://fr.warcraftlogs.com/character/eu/sylvanas/starlion @prime sundial
here are my numbers
thx
this is by far the best that we can do, but like you, im trying to imrpove my shintzel
das beerboot for life
Yes, you should be using Avatar as much as possible since it's a big DPS increase.
We all gotta start from somewhere. :D
Main thing is you're here asking for help which is good.👌
yhea, totally agree with @ionic fern
i did a FH 16 last night in 2chest...
talk about feeling paper-tank
this weeks combo, is nasty at high keys
love you guyz ❤ thx
We're gonna go ön Gorgonzola mythic on sunday, anyone here who might have some pointers? If you 3 tanked what tanks and so on
Hey guys, is there someone who could review my logs in #449510248579858432 please? I am optimized for M+ but have logs only from raid so far.
We're currently running monk+bdk and another bdk to control adds @round glade
Aight. We have war monk and dk but unfortune is that our monk cant be with us this sunday so we have to use 2 dks
Review them for what? @mint imp what's your concern.
the warr should start with the boss then
Ye
rotation mainly, but also def CD's
@mint imp press TC and SS more
@sick sentinel have you tried it with both an offensive and a defensive trinket/azerite setup?
I am fury for that fight, but I think all 3 of the tanks are running cyclotronic
You talking about orgozoa?
Ye
I run with alchemy trinket and opulence trinket
@tawny maple ye, i find my self sometimes when there is 0,5s gcd on tc or ss to press rather devastate than waiting, and then loosing another gcd for tc or ss
Okey. Since its our first time there im gonna experiment
If you triggered another circle around the ability you did it wrong :p
that should not ever happen, with TC @mint imp , unless you regurarly go over 100% haste
Im more fond of offensive build in raid but we will see
Your traits can be full offence
orgo is very healer intensive fight and healers go oom, you should be careful of that
If you play shield block and last stand right you will never die
are you running reckless flurry/devastator?
Ye
That might be a bad idea for progress
Dont do this to me
@mint imp are you parse hungry or just trying to be super not picky?
Used it for ashvane. Not ön the ones prior
Nit picky*
But you are right
Aye
You can pad for days
Mhyep
@tawny maple not parse hungry, I play warr mainly for M+ so looking more on rotation or other hints. Not sure what you mean by nit picky?
@mint imp I was just wondering if you were trying to just min/max yourself or if you were just parse hungry. Different advice. I should've been more clear sorry :p
Parse m+ what is this april fools?
@mint imp don't play barrage, play gismo
@sick sentinel For m+ as well?
definitely for mplus
ok, thats what i am looking for. Thanks! 😃
Barrage not only is pure damage, it's gonna be worse than gismo on anything other than bosses that stand still and never move and/or have very large hitboxes
gismo amplifies your damage and since you are running visions there is a very high chance it will proc during avatar
and it's gonna be really powerful when it does
@mint imp your logs don't look bad just make sure you keep doing basics like keeping TC on CD especially during Demo Shout. Also do you just spam SR every time it's up?
@sick sentinel good point! I was just picking barrage according to bloodmallet
I've got a 430 crit haste feels good
I am farming rezan, gore and shield mainly now ye.. @tawny maple are you trying to piss me with your shield? 😄
I bonus rolled one from mythic radiance first week 🤷
sorry what you mean by SR?
Spell Reflect
yes, bad habbit. I have bind F1 demo and F2 SR, dont know why i press both at the same time
fat fingers
Okay I figured I was just gonna say if you don't need to push it don't and get more claps in
fat finger or bad keyboard
both?
Either way you look like you're doing fine just try to line up CDs with important stuff
thanks a lot!
yikes having both
Like there's no reason a Warrior shouldn't leggo parse on Radiance and Zaqul everytime
any place where tanks post their MDT import strings each week?
That's what I'm saying the good ones will have Avatar up for the adds
@mint imp also you opened with SS-Revenge-tc instead of SS-TC
You got me there
@sick sentinel ye so optimal opener is SB-SS-TC-Revenge?
well if the tc refreshes your ss
you ss a gain
then you tc
literally just follow the priority
Don't take it as a "opener"..take it as a priority list:
SS
TC
Revenge
Ok i will try to smash it to my memory :p
Where are the times when deep wounds scales with your current str
@solemn cedar copying other player's mdt string is a really bad way of learning pathing, you should constuct your own and look at others for ideas
but try to go about the dungeon on your own
@ionic fern oke so but the prioty change in aoe situations to TC-revenge-ss?
you might need to tank every single dungeon multiple times in order to get a feel for it
revenge only once..
@mint imp the priority shouldn't change because you want to generate as much rage as humanly possible
and you do that with SS
When charging into a new pack then still start with TC tho for fast snap aggro.
ok, thanks guys
lmao everyone knows you divebomb into a pack and start clapping
looking cool adds 20% dps
leap in for style points
love this place 👌
make a macro shouting something commentators said about michael jordan
^^don't do that
or just yell john cena
actually a weak aura to play "AND HIS NAME IS JOHN CEEEENAAA" and then the trumpets when you leap
would be so epic
....the first 10 times
for I while i had Cell's yell from dbfz play whenever i used/got a reck proc as fury
was 👌
then your healer stops healing you because he plays only football
yeah you shouldn't talk to those people tbh
If you don't yeet when you heroic leap you're playing the wrong game
I miss the BC days when I had an add-on that would play the "it's over 9000" sound and yell how much damage my ability did in raid
your raid didnt like you very much did it
I have sylvana's "FOR THE HORDE" from the bfa cinematic for bloodlust
absolutely fucking love it
my BL thing is an addon called "for the horde" iirc
im no expert on wa but i think its quite easy to set up (if you have the soundsfiles for the sounds you want)
make a new weak aura, set it to trigger on the buff you want to play the sound for, then go to the actions tab, in the "On display" section click the "play sound" box and then just select what you want played
As in 1 DC and 1 UT?
Go 2x UT
1DC is enoguh
It's like 25 times better
UT 🤢
UT's big tho.
I fail to see the issue with it
i never played with undulating tides...
and for m+ do i just mainly spam ignore pain? or keep shield block up aswell?
just swapped to prot ms over fury
so i cant tell if they good or bad
It's amazing dmg and good defensively too
^
saw monks running with those
@signal crest both
didnt see prot warrs
Kaege hates it cause its trap for dps
Shield block is your PRIMARY mitigation tool @signal crest
You want to use shieldblock at all times
when it's doing hps it's not doing dps
when it's doing dps it's not doing hps
also makes vers sim high
TC would have been bad in your eyes then
yes
you know how to play
the guy doesn't know if he should use IP or SB
do you think he will not have it perma on cd?
think of the person recieving the advice when giving it
yeah that's why I said 1dc 1 ut
and not 2ut
or 2 dc
I don't understand what's wrong with that
😂
Go home Kaege, you drunk 😛
I'm at work
and really tired
don't fault me
would you guys say an azerite piece with bastion of might + bloodsport at 415 is better than a 430 with tradewinds and bloodsport for m+? Or how important is Azerite item level in general for prot warrior?
azerite item level is very imporant
and ho-ly you're unlucky
bloodsport is like super garbage
like I would pick basically anything other than a second DC over bloodsport
well it also has iron fortress instead of bloodsport, just thought bloodsport is better with the avatar proccs from vision
oh no
noooooooo nonono
iron fortress is one of the best traits
IF is lovely for M+
bloodsport is one of the worst traits
oh ok
thats good to know 😄
we're talking, hypergarbage levels of bad
so you would say its worth to wear the 430 with iron fortress and tradewinds instead of a 415 with bastion of might?
yeah
ilvl is big
I've dropped down to 1 BoM in stead of 3 due to ilvl upgrades 😢
😄 alright, thanks!
and would you say its worth to lose 1 BoM for the thunderclap trait if I dont have one yet?
yes
so basically I did everything wrong with my traits 😄 thanks for the advice!
I don't that should even be a question
you always go with ilvl on weapon no matter what
The one with bigger weapon dps no matter stats or gems
thanks for the quick responses
hey guys, since our tank is on vacation for our next raid i'm gonna need to tank ashvane mythic and would appreciate any and all help regarding warrior tanking her ❤
just do your rotation correctly? Kappa
block all the bashes
theres nothing special to the boss or?
you can shieldwall the 3rd one
same talents and essences and whatnot
use spell reflect when people are soaking bubbles
use null barrrier rank 3 if you have it
as a minor
alright i can grind it out before raid, and visions major?
do you have rank 3 CoF?
yes
use cof major
okay thank you ❤
clarification : you want null barrier rank 3
lesser ranks are worthless
because you can't grind that out before your next raid if you're a dps main and haven't worked yet towards it
okay thanks, ill have enough oscilators for it on sunday so i can get it, got the crates already
is undulating tides better than a brace for impact for ashvane?
not really
especially on ashvane
oh right im retarded :))))))))))
is motherload aids this week
yes
how aids
I never ever enter a fortifier motherlode
And not regret it
Lol
It doesn't tho
The cast bar can be grey but you can still interrupt
I always just pull away and either charge interrupt or stormbolt the fucker
You can also stun the emissary before she die, insta despawn on ”death”
I've been told that If you do it that way she doesn't give % but I haven't tested it yet
Really? that’s something interesting to test.
I don’t think that’s true kaege. I recall we did that at least once last night and the original path still worked fine that we planned out
Hey guys, do you think is doable to 2 tank Orgozoa Mythic without 2 monks?
I’d highly suggest you just 3 tank it without 2 monks
Im having issues tanking raids as a warrior, I play monk in general which is easier but when i play warr im generally ok but then i get slapped instantly
and die
In what setting on which boss @cold crater
There's nothing threating, no one shot mechanics nothing, so you are defo doing smth wrong that I can tell you
Radiance add phase is physical nature dmg that can't be blocked, so you need CDs / tank healers there to spam heal you
On 1st boss just make sure to be above 60% before crushing reverb cuz you can't block that either
Like
On behemoth just tank swap whenever you feel the need to
Biggest mistake you could be making between the two classes is using shield block when you’re not tanking and being “naked” with no AM when it’s time for you to tank. We also have a lot more micro cds than brew and with AM you should be using demo shout a LOT to supplement shield block gaps or high damage phases
I have same damage taken as my co tank monk
If you die outside of those mechanics you're not maximising your block uptime
Block and IP don’t share a CD similar to your AM style on monk so don’t be afraid to spam IP where as you may be more hesitant to do so one Purifying
You should have less dmg taken than your cotank
You should have about half the dmg taken of a monk
Like way less
oh shit
Definitely a l2p issue
Ye
Just remember block>all
fair enough
It is your strongest source of reducing damage
New warriors typically over Ip and don’t keep block up enough
Yes
Ye
But logs are more insightful
yeah there are logs there
what should it be
what is ehrps xd
External healing required per second
Basically saying how much your healers need to heal you
ye ok makes sense
Your radiance is 19k ehrps and 30k dtps, not great but better
Behemoth is totally okay
So idk why you feel like you're just dying
one sec i can link all logs
You should cast SR more on abyssal
Also you should be able to get a couple more DS out than you did
And you have some empty gcds
Unlike your monk there is no one spell that’s worth sitting on a half a gcd to cast the second it comes up like keg smash
I think you could be clearing your stacks at a lower count too on abyssal
But mobile log is fucking ass
So hard to tell
You can look when the hp of others is fine and just clear
You died on radiance
Its alot of unnecessary damage on you
yes ik that death
true
Again low SR usage DS usage on behemoth
SR ? sry new to warr
Yes which is reduced by spell reflect
hi, ist it possible to see how often the shield slam reset procced or to see the cooldown on Warcraftlogs?
thanks for all the help
I know this will sound really bad but does anyone happen to have a log of a raid fight with Dragon Roar or Ravager? Thought i'd ask before dwelling deep into wlogs.
No
@ionic fern best bet is probably going to wcl i dont think you will find any here🤔
Jep. Thought i'd ask just in case.😂
You are thinking of comparing those talents in some particular situations?
so supposedly you cant block 100% of a blockable attack right?
I kind of doubt that, since i did not drop a single % on Orgoza while avatar and active mitigation was up.
Or is it possible to block 100% dmg?
external shields?
@ruby rampart 85% is the maximum a block can reduce the damage
Orgoza heroic t hat is, not mythic. my gear is around 425
IP?
Absorbs etc
85% max
parry maybe, but very unlikely to proc so many times in a row
Motherload wasn't that bad
(Crit ) block +armor + external shield + Orgo buff and you don't take ans damage
just very very slow and boring
Sounds like Motherlode on Bolstering to me 😃
but where is everybody getting that number from? 85%?
First hc Gorgonzola kill I parried 9 times in first 30 seconds with 20% Crit. Seems RNGesus was with me
mhh i have about 20% as well, but i doubt thats it.
so 85% block max comes from logs or where does that info come from?
Just a cap imho but I'm pretty sure you can't find any Crit block over this number
That's why there is à ""'soft cap""" in block at 42.5% because of crit block cap
No
It's not a softcap by definition
It's just critblock cap
Nothing more nothing less
Its a bad way of phrasing it
You lose a tiny bit of block value at this stage, That's why I used quotes but I understand what you said
😪
But higher block is always cool
Gud tips 👌
I think most people accept that block value at or past 42.5% guarantees that blocks within crit block will be 85% and cap itself, but having more so when not crit blocking I never treat as a bad thing
aren't we crit blocking liek 50% of all attacks now or sth
?
in M+ given high avatar uptime and bastion
Loose cannon he means block mitigation % not % of hits blocked
Because I am myself always past 42% so I figure fuck it I am not complaining
lol
But honestly, avatar up time around 50ish last I checked in m+ for me
Though o don’t use VoP as a major
Yeah sounds right for me also and BoMx3 its hard to not be crit blocking like a SoB
I don’t have 3 BoM yet 😦
my mastery sets around 75% within BoM right now, thats mastery % not crit block do not mistake what I am saying
I like the extra damage inside BoM A LOT!!!!
With 3 BoM and enough base mastery you're laughing at thrash mobs 
the only mobs which hurt are casters imo 😃
BoMx3 and all that extra damage and I muahahaha at trash
Friends
or...maaaayyybeee all of them when you get to high enough M+, but I never do high enough M+ so don't see that
Yeah same casters are where I feel like pain but them I stun, interrupt like a mofo and SP
WHat do I do to survive the bleed from the dudes in Kings rest
Pretty sure it's normal to have 3 bom lmao
Also, I’d say in some content it’s easy to get to 42+ block mitigation.
@exotic basin get other p eople to soak the bleeds
Idk if it was me or my shitty ass shaman healer from ragnaros but i died after getting 2 stacks like everytime
that's both you, healer and your players
Dwarf, pray, have a dps soak one stack, stun right as your stack is getting low to stop it
Other people can soak it
shaman healer in KR is always fun.
Don't let them bolster and don't get the bleed really
@sick sentinel yes it’s normal. Yes it’s what we want. But this early in a tier it’s not normal to get 3 BoM. Chests suck to rng
Your group can soak and you have to be ready to use high defensives on those thrashs
if ya get 2 stacks in higher keys your gonna lick the floor probably especially in KR on Fort weeks
Just Dwarf it off
^^
I just have 430 chest
that's the big brain play
za'quls
Dwarf
Za'qul chest is cool
Did you roll a 445 chest yet?
I did
No I haven't
I’ve rolled twice and gotten trash
Yeah on thrash/rawr me bleed you to death saving a stun for when you know its coming can be good or having a monk RoP can be good too if ya have one if heroic leap is on CD
I got BFI + Blood rite (I wasn't using Bloodsport)
Still have to use one of them
head this week
I was a week late on m+ gear
I’d just save personally
Save up🤔
so I'm behind
then shoulders, I have 430 shoulders so was waiting
My trinkets suck
Fatty shield boi 
I don’t like 60% odds of getting it in the time I could save up for the specific
My weapon is small tho @barren torrent
I got the mythic helm this week @exotic spoke from Radiance, rolled Pauldrons of the Unifier first week and rolled the Desert Guardians chest piece this week
Hopefully I get head piece from radiance this week too
This isnt fury where theres literally only 1 good piece in every slot or smth like that
There is an ideal piece. And after two failed rolls I want my BoM
Isn't org good too?
I wanted Ashvane Wardens but 3BoM is nice even if not the one I really wanted
Org has bom
I mean - @oblique garnet has a point.
If you don’t have a 445 you should get one. But, imo, if you have one and you’re going for one specific piece just save
Take the odds and gamble
In most cases people are still running with 420 chests that are not good
sucks because on the chest I did get I have to either take another DCrash or Callous Reprisal. I bit the bullet and took the second DC for the tiny bit of damage, because I do not like touching revenge outside of free procs and I get enough but not enough to make Callous feel worth it
If you don’t have one I agree.
If you have a 445 I disagree
has anyone tried prot warrior freehold boosting?
Still no chest above 420 
I have 435 BfI + blight chest
I like it quite alot actually
But I miss having BoM
I miss triple BoM too 😦
3 BoM is really pleasant
coral is off the gcd, can't you just press it
why not go for Crystalline Carapace and Gemhide?
I use gemhide in raid I was using Vampiric for the extra heal and speed buff in M+ for kiting really but usually I would use gemhide
and the armor was not helping me with all the spells pugs in M+ were not interrupting
the extra armor when I had casters this week getting bolstered in M+ and wailing on me when I was not interrupting because people tend to forget where there interrupt button/keybind is was getting me trucked
hello have a nice weekend everyone!
But those are the 3 pieces I got, will not say they are the ideal pieces I want but for now they are 445 and do have bastion so now I can save up and just buy the Ashvane Wardens, and Kraken Shell if I want. A lot of saving yes but might as well
and I would likely buy those because I want my meticulous scheme 2 stack back
Well that and helm off of Radiance covers DCrash and a BoM for me so I will be saving for probably chest and then shoulders. One of the two I have not decided yet. However most likely chest because the 2 DCrashs makes me cringe but whatever
@tidal blaze cuz crystalline carapace is arguably the worst trait to chose for Prot warrior
really? i read that it was something you wanted to stack
No it's terrible
You get less than 0.5% armor
Less than 0.2% even
And the reflect is effectively nothing too
yeah I usually do blood siphon I had switched a few traits around for M Ashvane and I will be going back to blood siphon
The difference in that tier is incredibly minor defensively anyway
I just go for max deeps
Like you will 100% not notice a difference there, ever
Also before I was not sure of the dps value/gain from the mastery granted from blood siphon and its more then carapace anyway and for M+ I would rather have the mastery anyway
Unless you literally got 3x of 1 trait
3x hmc for example does quite some dmg in m+
Around 5%
need some help there.. hmc?
Heed my call
@strong forum You think it 2 stacked surpasses 2 Unstable Flames for damage ?
Why bother switching
Just stay UF in that case
Altho I personally would just greed into hmc all the time, but that's me
Was unsure of the exact difference in damage but we are doing the burn strat for Ashvane so pushing any and all damage out I can get
So I may just go HMC and say screw unstable
That's just my personal preference
UF all the way
See there's another preference
Only trait thats better in raids is OP
OP don't know that acronym ?
Overwhelming power
I havent gotten radiance helm :(
How much are specific? I think I'm at 70k, so was trying to just get radiance helm then buy specific chest
I still can't a damn 430 rezans eye either RNJesus has not been kind in AD
I mean well it kind of has I have the cloak, shield, ring, I want the Weapon and trinket
so I should not bitch too much
also radiance is being a shield grubbing bitch to me
got a 440 Rezan's Gleaming Eye from my chest wednesday. Was like a kid in a candy store
I have a 430 shield but if I get Radiances shield I will be using it until RNJesus smiles and throws me a 440 or better from the cache which will likely be a week from never or until we kill Orgozoa and still more rnjesus
@inland mesa 200k
I rolled a 455 radiance shield :) but I cant get a block or rezan to save my life
although I was happy with my 440 block from weakly
445 shield, 440 weapon.
I need a weapon
screw you guys
Same riki
Just got 435 vial from UR last night.
395 wet noodle
Oof, 200k, is it worth it to save at this point? I guess chest has poopy options
I just keep doing AD and ToS
Which shield ya get Riki ?
430+s block 435 rezan, for m+ ima use block +445phial
and no weapons
One from radiance? I think it is
nice yeah I am hunting it from reclears
how is pugging first mythic boss?
I can finally start trying for phial now that I got the shield
Bonus rolled it. Week before I got a 445 unbreaking
Bulwark of Seaborn Avatar is from Radiance
Almost impossible @unborn island
ah shit.
Yeah I think that’s it lector
bring back free 1st M boss
that and a 445 weapon from first boss or lucky M+ run/cache TF
Loosecannon. First boss will be hard for pugs. Second boss (Radiance) falls over. Behemoth isn’t bad either
Organised pugs tho
Ye
I only have a 430 za'qul axe, havent seen first boss drop one and wasnt lucky enough to get a weapon off orgozoa when we killed it last night
I was debating in my head though....go for ink pod or weapon from orgozoa? Lol
If I can get the weapon from first and shield from radiance that will be my weapon/shield comp until the M+ cache smiles at me or I get a holy shit lucky end run TF. Well or we kill Orgozoa
@sick sentinel is it consistently the same people for 80% or so of the raid
You can't get higher than 440 weapon or shield from regular m+ @waxen cradle
The only way would be weekly chest
To get 450 at max
Rationale in my head was stay prot spec until 445 weapon of any kind then I can try for inkpod
Well unless you kill mythic bosses, gl getting 445 weapon
I'm 5/8
Ah
Lol
I kept flipping it between prot and arms last night as to go for 1 hander or inkpod, I'm assuming the 445 main hand is more important
Still going to roll every week on radiance for a warforge shield
I have my phial now, so I can roll for helmet and shield agai
I can roll for helm and phial now :)
We have had 4 drop, none on me, none could trade 1 was bonus 🙃
So far raid drops have been incredibly lucky for me.
It’s the TR slot machine
Yeah I know reg M+ end will not give better then 440 but thats still better then setting on a 430 weapon and shield and not seeing a weapon or shield fall from Sivara or Radiance for each item
Litrally haven't had azerite drop for me for 4 weeks straight
From either hc or mystic
Rip
Yeah I havent gotten any 445 azerite from raid :( rolled shoulders from vendor and that's it so far
Sucks because me I am setting on a pretty shitty 430 weapon and shield item level wise and the cache will not toss them to me and the bosses will not drop them
^^^^
OH so much
love burning Brolls for azerite
so awesome
OH yeah get this fucked up shit... guess who did get a 445 shield from radiance one of the shamans in our raid team >.<!!!!!
This week
Personal loot is cancer
they bonus rolled if after they got there Azerite helm I about threw my keyboard
Got 445 shield this week, still missing a weapon.
figures
🙃 🙃 🙃 🙃
Anyone have the sheet for EP k values?
Should be in #268491842637660160
In BoD after 10 weeks of farming first boss I didn’t get a shield.
A player who came back and wanted to play his shaman instead of mage got a 425 shield week one.
He didn’t have a fucking one hander to use with it yet
@grand drum search “k value”
Its ok I am sure nothing fucked up will happen like I will get a shield from one source just as I get a better one from another... OH NO that never happens >_>
Bro our RL and GM missed 2 weeks of mythic, he now has 3 455s 2 of them being bis trinkets
We have two people that use strength one handers... just two.
Happened to me last tier I was like WTF!!
RIP
no shit ?
I got 2 455 on Tuesday. Gloves and back.
From weekly chest and from first boss
Rogue innmy group got 455 dice....
Past 2 weeks however I have gotten jack nor shit from Sivara I am due some kind of luck, come on rnjesus
We get atleast 1 455 per boss
1 dude got 455 trinket from hc, then on mythic same one on 455
But from bonus roll so he couldn't trade it
Oh so he got the same trinket twice ?
I honestly feel like there should be a system in place where you can't bonus roll the same item/item level exactly
Of course that would take away from rnjesus and he giveth and he...well he giveth if you give your pound of flesh
Oh well time and luck the best gearing system apparently
