sharp night
#

sometimes things i expect from wowhead spelldata don't actually work because of some hidden trigger ingame

weary thorn
#

I was skepticle. Who knows what crazy shit Vince might say

sand egret
#

Apply Aura: Mod Minimum Speed % Value: 100% yep there it is

#

good catch Vince

#

Effect #2 Apply Aura: Immunity - Mechanic (Snared) on BoF,

vernal stirrup
#

give it to a shaman and make them ghost wolf for it lol

sharp night
#

only reason i know is because eye beam for havoc dh also applies the same modifier as merektha's fang and freedom doesn't let you move around while doing it

#

and the reasoning for it is because they don't want to actually root you in place but they want the same effect

#

because otherwise you could freedom/beam or use beam/fang to lock yourself in place during a boss knockback for example

sand egret
#

yeah, makes sense

west kayak
#

Is it just me or do you generate more Rage with the Devastator talent than Booming Voice? I get back to back Shield Slams and I find myself "over-raged" at times. 🙂

undone sun
#

RNG

west kayak
#

True, but it does provide more Rage than BV consistently. At least for me since I switched the other night.

sharp night
#

do you have logs for it? mathematically deva should only provide as much rage per minute as bv on average (ie consistently) with unrealistic uptimes

#

assuming you get a "full reset" on ss every time from it, at 20% and a 1.5s swing timer (meaning you need ~74% haste), it provides equal rage to BV

#

realistically you're going to be at maybe ~40-50% haste with procs bringing it up a little over that, and most of the resets aren't going to be a full reset

warm plinth
#

I think logs have been dissected enough in this channel to prove that BV provides more rage.

#

Can always get lucky with RNG and have a one-off but it's not consistent.

cosmic cape
vernal stirrup
#

the benthic, personally

#

depends how much you value defensive stats

warm plinth
#

Are you going to be raiding? Or no?

#

And then my second question would be, if you're raiding, are you trying to get high parses?

cosmic cape
#

yes and yes aotc and 3/8 m

#

im not the type of tank to go full turtle i like to just get baseline defensive so that i can take the training wheels off and do as much dmg as possible

distant crystal
#

well

#

since you're 3/8m

#

go for benthic

vernal stirrup
#

then definitely benthic

distant crystal
#

ashvane needs everybody pumping

vernal stirrup
#

protect warrior is pretty tanky already, avoidance and 10 ilvls of Stam won't make as much difference as the damage of the boots

cosmic cape
#

like when im in keys and other not nazjatar things the other boots?

vernal stirrup
#

if you wanna, they're still worse dps wise

#

because of the socket

#

at 425

cosmic cape
#

yeah i can upgrade them again today i just need to go to naz

distant crystal
#

crit/haste with a socket will beat 10 ilvl

#

for dmg

#

and it's barely behind for def

vernal stirrup
#

yep

cosmic cape
#

idk what trinks to use either i have so many now lol

vernal stirrup
#

the ones you like most

#

for dps just sim

cosmic cape
#

430 urchin 440 animated blood 440 bandages 430 inkpod 430 socketed phial of arcane and 415 laser mech trink

vernal stirrup
#

I'd go ink pod urchin myself

cosmic cape
#

lately ive been using the urchin and animated blood just cuz i like hitting shield slam for 50k lol

distant crystal
#

you gotta stop using prot loot spec lol

#

unless you're on a specific boss/dungeon for shield/1h

cosmic cape
#

well i dont on my old dk main lol i just dont want to get 2h weapons

#

thats what i like about blood dk

#

i would LOVE inkpod if it would apply to multi targets on my thunderclap and stuff lol

distant crystal
#

it does

cosmic cape
#

does it? i was trying it and it wasnt working for m

#

inkpod stacks apply on all aoe stuff?

distant crystal
#

p sure yeah, i haven't tested for tclap specifically but

#

i know fury whirlwind cleave applies it all over

cosmic cape
#

doesnt appear to be im trying on multi target rn

#

whirlwind might be a little different i feel like it kinda smart targets mobs when it strikes multiple times as opposed to tclap and rend which is just like a circle of damage yknow

warm plinth
#

Revenge might work?

vernal stirrup
#

I think it night be because fury aoe is weird and has a target cap

#

but ww doesnt

#

so idk

undone sun
#

20 targets is the default target cap, game wide

vernal stirrup
#

oh, I didn't know that

sharp night
#

that's different

#

over 20 targets is where damage starts to get split amongst all targets, it doesn't just randomly stop hitting targets past 20

#

fury's aoe is a real target cap where it doesn't hit targets beyond 5

#

and the spell is "copied" 4 times from your primary target to the secondary targets

vernal stirrup
#

yes

#

that's why I think it might work for them

#

it's not real aoe

#

it's cleaving

sick sentinel
#

So I got the Mechagon HM helm, I assume when I can buy a 445 residuum piece it would still replace it, even with the perfect azerite traits

#

Ya

#

And the mechagon helm is not perfect

#

PSI is good, with the correct red and correct yellow

#

Im using the cyclone red, and a vers/crit card sadly, but only cause its ilvl 445

#

That's a big card ngl

#

Wish it was haste, but I cant be picky

#

I guess that leads me to my next question, would it be worth using the PCI trait? Or just use the BoM, since the PCI would give 324 vers

#

How much mastery is bom

#

642

#

Let's go through this together so you can see my line of thinking

#

We'll use this

#
Crit - 72 
Haste - 68
MasteryAP - 72
Verse - 85 / 170```
#

642 mastery with 60% uptime

#

Or 324 vers with 100% uptime

#

That's your choices

#

I think I'd still go with bom here

#

Thats what I was thinking, I only get 2% vers from it

#

It's better to make your strong phases even stronger (known as cd stacking) than have it spread out

#

Yeah, I like the burst from BoM, but I appreciate the help!

#

I could have just told you "use bom"

#

Because that's the correct answer

#

But you'd never learn that way

#

Fair enough

inland ice
#

Ah! Is simming with Prot viable then? Or is this just stat weights through some other means?

undone sun
#

simming for offensive, yes

sick sentinel
#

@inland ice those are not stat weights

exotic spoke
#

Ahhhj shit kaege

#

I like this

lapis topaz
#

Those stat points per % are subject to DR right? Not trying to derail your argument, just trying to make sure I understand the details. @sick sentinel

sick sentinel
#

There's no dr

#

As far as I am aware

lapis topaz
#

Oh. Hmmm. I thought there was. I would trust your knowledge over mine though.

warm plinth
#

There are no DR on stat gains

sick sentinel
#

There is dr in stuff like parry rating

warm plinth
#

e.g. 85 haste is 1% and will always be 1% haste

sick sentinel
#

Wrong numbers but yes

#

But

warm plinth
#

Yeah whatever

#

Lol

lapis topaz
#

Ohhh, so it’s just for block, party, dodge? Like things derived from other stats?

sick sentinel
#

Party 🎉

lapis topaz
#

LOL. Autocorrect ftw

sick sentinel
#

50% party 🎉

#

Ghash

#

Wait

#

I remember

#

I tested this on my own

lapis topaz
#

That change in effectiveness... that’s dr though, right?

sick sentinel
#

I had a 400ilvl Gore block and no other crit procs

#

When I had 15% crit and gore proced I got more parry compared to when I was at 25% and got a Gore block proc

#

But I got the same crit chance

#

Unless if I don't remember correctly

#

It's been many months

sharp night
#

all defensive stats have DR

#

the crit-> parry conversion is what DRs

sick sentinel
#

So I remember correctly

#

I have spent time on this shit

sharp night
#

armor is the only one that doesn't have a true DR but it's capped

lapis topaz
sick sentinel
#

@lapis topaz the odd thing on prot warrior is mastery

#

The more you have, the more dr it gives

#

Also the more haste you have, the more haste your ITF gives

warm plinth
#

Yeah but I think that's just because ITF is multiplicative, not additive

sick sentinel
#

Ya

sharp night
#

all haste buffs are multiplicative

#

er, all haste buffs that aren't from haste rating

#

haste rating is additive

warm plinth
#

Yeah

lapis topaz
#

Itf = into the fray?

warm plinth
#

Mmhm

lapis topaz
#

Thanks gentlemen

#

And or ladies

waxen cradle
#

Hey guys how much damage does a 430 Inkpod do compared to a 430 Block ?

#

I mean looking at it the block no doubt double dips more crit = more parry unless I am wrong, and then the dps gain from the crit, but wondering how Inkpod stacks up purely damage wise

analog swift
#

i mean the free revenges aren't that good

#

you're spamming Tclap so much and unless it's a decent sized pack (5+) a shield slam would be better

sick sentinel
#

I'd rather use a free revenge over a devastate

vernal stirrup
#

does ink pod do less damage for prot? if not it's p good and I'd use it over block personally

sick sentinel
#

This about inkpod is

#

It caps at 1 target

#

The bigger your pulls, the better goreblock will be

winter swan
#

is devastator a decent talent for single target fights or is it always better to use booming voice ?

sick sentinel
#

You lose survivability for about 1k dps

#

And only in pure st

winter swan
#

hmm im trying to put out more damage and just looking at ways to do it !!! what essences do you use for damage output ?

sick sentinel
#

Cof major

#

If you care purely for st dps

#

Just sim top gear

#

That's literally the only thing the right answer is sim

#

For everything else the answer is "it depends"

winter swan
#

im reasonably new to prot our tank bailed and i was asked to tank so im just trying to pick it up

sick sentinel
#

Focus on survivability

#

Dps will come along

#

And please play booming voice if you're new to the spec

oblique harbor
#

what is the best profession for pve? Is engineering good?

sick sentinel
#

Eng is amazing for pve

winter swan
#

booming voice has been my go to but i was going to play around with other options i just feel if my dps is low i parse low and people start questioning why i parse low

sick sentinel
#

@winter swan it's not talents

#

Play cof major

#

And play good

#

That's it

winter swan
#

this week im trying cof major and the cyclotronic blast trink

oblique harbor
#

@sick sentinel Why?

sick sentinel
#

Combat res

#

Belt enchant

#

And a very good helm

#

Until you get radiance helm

oblique harbor
#

is good for protection? my focus is M+

sick sentinel
#

Or abyssal malevolence

#

There are like 2 helmets that i know that are better

winter swan
#

and thats only if you get mythic right ?

sick sentinel
#

Yes

winter swan
#

i only sim 300 dps higher with devastator so thats pointless

#

o no its 1300

spice ferry
#

Deva is a minor st dps increase

#

It’s purely for parsing

is edicts trinket worth it

waxen cradle
#

What ring you guys this is better to run with a 440 Footbomb ring from ML, 430 Seal of Regal Loa with a leech bonus, or 430 Pulsing Veins from UR

oblique garnet
#

@sterile mantle edicts is one of the stronger defensive trinkets

waxen cradle
#

Main first ring

gusty depot
#

thats yummy

waxen cradle
#

Question is what other one would ya guys run with ithttps://gyazo.com/64a64ec130002542344690c8e53563ea

#

At least the logical answer to me feels like how bad do I need the haste and admittedly my Vers is considerably lower then my Haste which is 43% with 5 stacks of ITF so to me it feels like take the Vers but second opinions and all that

warm plinth
#

I'd still take the haste heavy one. What your vers is compared to your haste doesn't make any difference

#

Defensively I guess you could go for the vers/haste one

sick sentinel
#

But

#

The L E E C H

outer dew
#

???

#

Inb4 ghash tells the guy not running siphoning is the play

undone sun
#

bad tofu

warm plinth
#

Nah we talked about it in DMs

waxen cradle
#

Ok what is the allure of the Dreams End weapon I guess the attack speed buff from it, even with that bonus it seems so meh as it stacks from auto's ?

warm plinth
#

He didn't even bring up leech; I'm so proud

#

Meleeing is actually a big part of our damage, and the parsing meta is RF+Deva which synergizes with increased attack speed

#

Hence the allure

waxen cradle
#

Ah ok

#

So more or less looking to push big parses people go nuts for RF, Devastator, and since Devastators damage is all melee yeah that makes sense

#

And of course EP is for the most part all ST yeah I get it

warm plinth
#

Deva and RF's damage both proc off auto attacks (they don't increase AAs themselves) so the more auto attacks the better

#

But yeah you have the idea

@sick sentinel combine rings from hk and gardener

#

if you wear both you get the effect they combine to do

sick sentinel
#

combine rings?

surreal plinth
#

two sets of rings drop in mecha with passive affects they go together

sick sentinel
#

So you need both

surreal plinth
#

yeah

sick sentinel
#

so sims are simming them

#

as if you have both

surreal plinth
#

HK-8 drops the "if" statement if you will and Machinist drops the ring that triggers the effect

sick sentinel
#

so sims stlil sim it tho

#

when it shouldn

#

t

surreal plinth
#

I'm not sure on that. Haven't bothered simming them

sick sentinel
#

Ye it siming higher than a gemmed item

#

that is 15 ilvls higher

#

so ye

#

and I don't have the if statement

#

just the equip

surreal plinth
#

interesting

sick sentinel
#

I mean how could you sim the "IF"s

#

so they probably just sim it

vernal stirrup
#

you would just Sim it as if you didn't have anything

they're also really heavy into one secondary

Gentlemen. Heroic raider rogue main rerolling to prot warrior. One simple question towards my AP grind, what would you consider a hard must for heroic raiding, 57 neck or higher? Thanks

Okay sweet, should just take a week or so then. Thanks

Even then you could definitely get by without that if you had like 430 ilvl, atleast for a week or so

#

how to look at EDRPS

#

or whatever it's called

#

EHRPS

#

It's in damage taken

#

what's a good mitigition %

sharp lotus
#

Is there a crash course for the new neck system/ patch? Or will I need to reread the standard shit?

sick sentinel
#

I did 70% mitigited on ashvane mythic

#

is that good

sharp lotus
#

yes

#

70% on any boss = adequate if i remember correctly

sick sentinel
#

What's average

sharp lotus
#

surviving

#

tbh i made the statistic up. However, if you are only taking 30% of the baseline damage, you are probably doing fine. Numbers only verify so much. You will either need to post logs or talk to your healers/ raid leader to get accurate criticism. The fact is that you will get cookie cutter advice if you say such things

#

people will say "make sure to not be drinking windex instead of paying attention" "save cool downs for bursts instead of dying" "Knowing the fight is important, dont not know the fight, instead know the fight"

sick sentinel
#

Why do people not use Never surrender

#

on radiance*

#

as you take you can have 100% block uptime during boss because of how often tide fist happens

sharp lotus
#

because of effective hp

#

i dont fully understand why you want bubble % over last stand frequency/effectiveness tbh

#

bubble is a very ineffective damage mitigation outside of the bump and grind from my understanding

sick sentinel
#

Because you take absolutely no damage from the boss itself

#

and adds are pure magic damage

#

so last stand doesn't work besides the 15% health increase

strong forum
#

It's 30% and, the boss is easy AF, it's a waste to build around a boss that does effectively nothing

#

Also mvpg im at like 30k Sims without benthic, so 28.5k is quite high yes

sick sentinel
#

or I mean 30%

#

still doesn't do much if you are just going to get nuked

cyan prism
#

Hey guys needed a bit of advice, I recently went prot, and i have about 22 haste / 15 vers, char plays pretty smooth, i mostly just prot in keys, u guys think i should stack more vers ? could i give up a bit of haste for vers or is 15% good enough.

Aggro problem, I have recently been moved from dps to main tank (not tanked in years), I am coping ok with learning what to do, however I have an issue with aggro over the other tanks. Last weeks heroic palace run was a death knight and this week a Druid, both had the majority aggro on trash but my main concern is that they were pulling aggro back off me on one or two of the bosses purely from their own dps rotation. Am I doing something wrong, is this common?

strong forum
#

its more common for warriors to steal aggro

#

tbh

#

so youre defo doing smth wrong

idle current
#

Ok I’ll go back to the guides, maybe I’m focusing to much rage on mitigation and not enough on dps...that even sounds wrong to type lol...but at least it’s my problem not the class

strong forum
#

the thing is

#

you have to spend rage

#

in order to get rage

#

playing offensively benefits our defense

#

like you can hardly play defensively without maxing DPS too

#

use avatar on CD

#

use Demo on CD

#

TC and SS on CD

#

dont overlap Shield block / Last stand

#

thats the crash course

#

Rage Management with IP / Revenge you'll have to learn

#

but dont Cap on Rage, rather just spend it on IP even if you dont get a bigger IP

#

spending rage = more CDs ( avatar / LS / shieldwall )
more avatars = more rage
More rage = more rage

#

unless big carried

#

thats the secret sauce success formula for most tanks

idle current
#

I find the more offensive i play the less IP’s you get off....I’m never rage capping or even close. But still good to know the issue is mine, that means it can be fixed 😃

strong forum
#

na, hardly as any tank you have to hold anything

#

but as BDK? lemme just sit here until i take dmg

brittle owl
#

ok, most players*

#

@idle current playing more offensively doesnt mean spending rage on revenges

#

playing offensively just leads to more rage

strong forum
#

ye

brittle owl
#

which means more ip's, as you put it

strong forum
#

same goes for defensive playstyle

#

like, i tried it

#

and still did decent damage

#

according to parses

brittle owl
#

there's a reason it's called active mitigation and not passive

#

you gotta do something

#

not just wait for smacks

#

ok unless you're a monk and can be litterally carried by the class

strong forum
#

fuck monks

brittle owl

Defensive build is better for keys right

proper cedar
#

Is it worth losing a stack of bastion to get reckless flurry for higher dps output

sick sentinel
#

if you don't have issues tanking

#

and really only worth if you have the zaqul weapon and devastator talent

proper cedar
#

I see, so I should probably stick with the bastion then

sick sentinel
#

zaqul weapon with devastator and two RF is like a 7% dps gain for me haha

#

I just need zaqul weapon

#

:(

#

So guys in kings rest what's the best way I'm am supposed to handle the bleed from the berserker adds just shield wall or ?

hallow phoenix
#

dont let them apply it in the first place

#

About 3 seconds after they do their leap, they will attempt to bleed the person closest to them

#

dont be that person

soft rampart
#

necrotic + bursting... anyone feel like this a stealth nerf to prot in m+? prot feels bad on this combo

tender burrow
#

And screw a dps?

hallow phoenix
#

What problems are you having specifically @soft rampart?

#

@tender burrow the DPS should be kiting the berserker during this window too. Ideally she swings and only hits air

upbeat minnow
#

Yo guys. Is there a haste cap as tank ? I sit around 45 % haste in m+ (ofcourse with the "into the fray" talent)

autumn pendant
#

No cap

hallow phoenix
#

Keep stacking yummy haste

upbeat minnow
#

Ok , I was wondering if I would benifit from dropping some haste and getting more versa.

hallow phoenix
#

Haste is best defensively because you get shield block to recharge faster

#

That being said, I feel fine defensively in m+ and raids and have been getting more vers for DPS purposes

upbeat minnow
#

I sometimes find it hard to know wich items I should use. I still use a 420 ring (302 haste + 192 mastery) but got a ring 430 also (329 crit + 182 versa). So should I use the one with haste still?

hallow phoenix
#

What's your third ring

upbeat minnow
#

425 ilvl ( 344 haste + 158 crit )

hallow phoenix
#

I'm typically willing to drop 10 ilvls for a haste+crit ring, harder to say when it's the options you have

#

I'd choose the crit ring personally

upbeat minnow
#

Alright will use those for now than. Thanks for the help 🙂

hallow phoenix
#

You could always sim yourself and pick the ring that gives the most DPS

upbeat minnow
#

Can do , I never realy simmed my tank chars before. Only my DPS chars.

hallow phoenix
#

Prot war is DPS vel

upbeat minnow
#

Damn right 🙂

sick sentinel
#

maybe in keys

#

prot isn't that good for dps reasons compared to other tanks on ST

hallow phoenix
#

It's not like we're worse though

upbeat minnow
#

Warrior does fall behind abit ST but in M+ oh boy my nrs go high 🙂

hallow phoenix
#

Still pulling 25-30k single target

sick sentinel
#

brewmaster does the best ST

#

in raids

#

for mythic that is

hallow phoenix
#

What setup do they need? We have a BrM trying to get his orange parses but hes shy by afew k

sick sentinel
#

Null barrier

#

two minors

#

dps trinkets

#

Crucible major

hallow phoenix
#

There fire breath traits I imagine?

sick sentinel
#

IDk look at logs

#

"training of niuzao

#

and tides

#

looks like what they are s tacking

hallow phoenix
#

I am and I'm seeing mostly warriors

#

Nvm I found all the monks

brittle owl
#

that's not true, in raids in ST it's paladin >= warr > brew > dk > bear > dh

#

warrior is definately not lagging behind

hallow phoenix
#

I wonder if monk seems inflated cause most people are using monks to prog

brittle owl
#

it isn't and it does not feel inflated

#

on certain fights they can abuse null barrier r3

#

if the kill timers are favorable

sick sentinel
#

Paladin top on meters?

#

lmao

#

they are flat bottom

hallow phoenix
#

Pally pumps

sick sentinel
#

where are you getting your stats

brittle owl
#

you must be playing the wrong game

sick sentinel
#

hello?

brittle owl
#

wrong metric my dude

#

you want to look at top parses

marble cipher
#

@hallow phoenix Elusive Footwork is a pure single target trait for monks, triple ToN is lovely too. The fire brezth trait isn't 'that' important. Certainly not for stacking it.

sick sentinel
#

hello?

hallow phoenix
#

Thanks @marble cipher I'll pass on the info

brittle owl
#

sivarra

#

pure ST fight

marble cipher
#

Tides trait is only good if you manage not to dip below 50% to avoid proccing the debuff.

brittle owl
#

warrior and paladin are within a neglijable margin

sick sentinel
#

Looking at very top parses when they can be stacked with kill times, RNG procs and other factors

marble cipher
#

33k on monk, damn, I got some catching up to do there it seems

sick sentinel
#

95% and below

#

they are bottom

brittle owl
#

blackwater behemoth

#

same story

sick sentinel
#

top parses are a joke

hallow phoenix
#

Does the "damage done to bosses" completely exclude adds?

brittle owl
#

neglijable difference

#

those are pure st fiights

sick sentinel
#

if you think looking at top parses actually mean anything

brittle owl
#

cant cleave anything

sick sentinel
#

you're dead wrong

brittle owl
#

i mean

#

if you think that top parses don't mean anything

sick sentinel
#

check every stat 95%

brittle owl
#

then i guess we should stop talking

sick sentinel
#

and below

#

they are garbage

#

Prot ppallys rely on heavy rng

brittle owl
#

idc about people playing suboptimally

sick sentinel
#

it's rng, kill time and gear

#

lmao

brittle owl
#

and thats completely wrong, but you'll keep believing your own narrative i guess

sick sentinel
#

doesn't matter teh suboptimal

hallow phoenix
#

Just show us 99th percentile

sick sentinel
#

sure

brittle owl
#

99th percentile

#

all tanks are close to eachother

sick sentinel
#

Close?

brittle owl
#

because this patch 40% of tank dmg comes from external sources

#

because benthic

#

top vs bottom its a 2k diff

#

tell me how that is a quantifiably strong difference

hallow phoenix
#

Includes all damage in encounter

brittle owl
#

top damage will show you orogozoa mythic

hallow phoenix
#

Cause adds matter too :(

brittle owl
#

since that is the highest dps fight atm

#

you got adds to pad all thru ohase 2

#

surprised bears arent higher tbh, since they pump on aoe

hallow phoenix
#

Everyone is still very close even with padding

brittle owl
#

well yeah

marble cipher
#

Even that one VDH is doing well 😜

brittle owl
#

benthic 😛

#

vdh are strong this tier wdym lmao

#

dk's are the bottom feeders

#

sadly

#

they got dicked hard this expac

sand egret
#

someone’s gotta be on bottom

brittle owl
#

it's not even funny

hallow phoenix
#

Big tru

marble cipher
#

I thought VDH's were in quite a bad spot?

brittle owl
#

nop

#

they strong af

#

esp in EP

#

15% base magic dmg reduction

#

theres a shit ton of magic dmg

sand egret
#

they were, got buffs, people still complained, but benthic + revel in pain being realized is legit AF helped

brittle owl
#

with fiery brand cd they are one of the best orgo boss tanks

#

arguably best zaqul add tank due to the mitigation

#

if they play vop+gluttony they do silly hps as well

#

talking 50k+ hps

sand egret
#

turns out like 1.3 mill health is sweet

brittle owl
#

week 1 there was a dude solo tanking h behemoth

marble cipher
#

Hm, didn't know that. Wasn't really following their viability since our guild doesn't have one anyway

brittle owl
#

with vop+gluttony

#

they were always viable

#

just weakest tank

sand egret
#

power creep + content changed

brittle owl
#

there's no 'unviable' tank

#

theres even dk's boss tanking orgo

sand egret
#

they also did get some solid buffs

brittle owl
#

abd they're objectively the worst at it

#

one slight missplay and deaded

marble cipher
#

Might have to level my DH then, just for a change here and there 😜

sand egret
#

they’re super fun to tank with

brittle owl
#

the only thing thats really busted is monks

sand egret
#

stagger*

marble cipher
#

I know, I main BrM

brittle owl
#

turns out giving them self sustain makes them even more retardedly broken

marble cipher
#

(in raids anyway)

brittle owl
#

what with benthic contributing to a ton of dmg

hallow phoenix
#

Do swim speed pots stack on with the swim speed/water breathing mechanic on behemoth?

brittle owl
#

why would you play anything else for serious progression

#

high dps, high selfsustain

sand egret
#

you do it for stagger ultimately

brittle owl
#

blueprynt was talking about pumps needing

#

3 direct heals

#

on azshara m

#

that's beyond broken

sand egret
#

what new sustain did they get?

#

is it in benthic?

marble cipher
#

Having a teleport to reset a failing fight is also very nice

#

And, I'd be curious about that 'self sustain' too, my hps is not 'out of this world'

sand egret
#

or essences?

brittle owl
#

celestial fort makes null barrier retardedly strong

#

the benthic gloves are super good on them

#

and some more

marble cipher
#

You use the dps gloves, not the heal gloves

brittle owl
#

wait a sec

sand egret
#

does the shield crit or something?

#

how does celestial fort interact with null

marble cipher
#

BrM crit% adds to absorbs

sand egret
#

oooo

#

did not know that tbh

marble cipher
#

Null Barrier is lovely, so are stuff like Edict trinket

sand egret
#

thats neato

brittle owl
#

ya

#

CoS trident, null barrier, edicts

#

26k hps

marble cipher
#

Overall, the idea of BrM and stat interaction is very good.
Just stagger is too powerful, or rather, the ease of 100% mitigation

sand egret
#

well the “time” offered via stagger is the strong point imho

brittle owl
#

null barrier interaction is silly as well

hallow phoenix
#

Gives too much time to live over any other tank :(

brittle owl
#

huge nukes

#

it's not that they live longer

#

they live easier

#

if you're a mediocre player you will be carried by the class itself

#

very hard to make deadly mistakes

marble cipher
#

^

#

Change to ISB post uldir was a good one though, but it's still a safe class to play

sand egret
#

longer allows healers time to recover you from your mistakes thus making the overall experience easier

hallow phoenix
#

So we're having this issue on sivarra where occasionally tank stacks will drop due to avoidance. Raid wants me to just turn around or something but I'd like to know what others are doing. Seems to only happen after an overwhelming barrage followed by a parry or two.

exotic spoke
#

Welcome tonparru

#

To parry*

marble cipher
#

It's fun tanking Gorgonzola's first hits on BrM though, especially if I see our DK do it afterwards 😜

exotic spoke
#

You should be swapping on every overwhelming barrage

marble cipher
#

Swap on barrage yeah

#

Easiest

hallow phoenix
#

Tried that and our BrM took too much damage or something from high stacks

marble cipher
#

🤔

#

Poison will take more dmg then frost, but, still very doable

hallow phoenix
#

Yeah idk I didn't find 10 stacks or whatever it got up to too difficult

exotic spoke
#

Shouldn’t be 10 stacks I don’t think

hallow phoenix
#

I definitely got up to about 10 before a barrage swap

marble cipher
#

I went up to 5 before swap on our kill yesterday 🤔

hallow phoenix
#

Let me search through logs to find the few attempts we tried swapping on barrage

exotic spoke
#

I got to 5 frost marks doing that

hallow phoenix
#

On mobile so this will be a journey

marble cipher
#

During the swap, you need to go and trigger the stack explosion though, to remove what you had

exotic spoke
#

Bdk I tank with maxed out at 7

#

Do you shouldn’t be getting to 10
Are you solo soaking or standing with melee?

hallow phoenix
#

Solo

#

Both of us

exotic spoke
#

I don’t know how you’re getting hit by more marks

marble cipher
#

Yeah, shouldn't happen, unless you didn't trigger the stack drop on swaps

inland ice
#

Would love a second opinion

#

I got the Anodized Deflectors from Mechagon

#

Ifg you're not aware, they cme with an effect instead of stats

marble cipher
#

The dmg and parry effect right?

inland ice
#

562 Parry, 399 avoidance, 6 sec- then Shockwave for 3,6k damage. 30 sec CD.

#

Yeah.

#

They, damagewise, sim better (!) than my 430 with Socket

#

With the right trinks as backup anwyay.

marble cipher
#

For damage you'll have benthic in that slot anyway

#

In raid

inland ice
#

But I reckon it's a big mitigation loss?

#

I'm DPS in Raid, Prot only for M+

marble cipher
#

Ah, then you could use them I guess, I didn't, but have 450 bracers from weekly chest...

inland ice
#

I should scrap 'em, right? The DPS boost is tempting me but that's a lot of stats I'm missing out on

marble cipher
#

You could just run a few M+ with it and check details after, see how they feel

inland ice
#

Well that's awfully sensible of you

#

I should be less hasty.

#

Although I've not yet logged for M+ ever, so I wouldn't know what to look for- I reckon that's a good habit to start with now.

cinder roost
#

@hallow phoenix If you take boss first, you swap at 5, then you take back during barrage, and repeat

lone socket
#

Woop, newbie tank finally killed H Azshara. Definitely been gimping myself by abandoning Nazjatar dailies after getting flying... time to farm benthic slotted gear for M 😦

brittle owl
#

dont do that

#

benthic is good only for dps in the raid

#

thats it

#

you can justify losing 15+ itemlevels just to gain a socket

lone socket
#

I mean, I'll keep my gear for non-EP, but aren't the bonuses BiS for EP?

#

w/ slots, that is

brittle owl
#

the bonuses are bis for ep yes

#

thought for a second you wanted the bonuses for m+, mb

lone socket
#

ahh gotcha

#

nah Mythic EP

#

our casual guild hasn't really done M in prior tiers, should be interesting

exotic spoke
#

Yeah, I gave up on them - but thats cause I had some really lucky TF in certain slots

lone socket
#

I can't bring myself to do Nazjatar quests on more than one character, but I guess that's why I'm in a casual guild

#

to farm more benthics

hallow phoenix
#

@cinder roost is it repeat whole thing or after the first 5, swap every barrage?

exotic spoke
#

Nah, I would just swap at every barrage personally

hallow phoenix
#

Seems he was only getting high stacks at the very beginning when he grabbed her first

marble cipher
#

We just always swap at barrage, no other swaps

#

Have him call for an external if needed, or have him pop Fort Brew, or run dampen harm talent ( I wouldn't take DH, but it's a possibility)

lone socket
#

I also got some grief for parsing ~50-60, so I swapped bloodthirsty urchin to phial of arcane tempest and nabbed devastator... survivability definitely dropped but now I'm parsing 75-90. Hate that people pay attention to that (for raid tanking). Changed back for M Sivara wipes, but feelsbadman

hallow phoenix
#

I'll be paying more attention to it this Sunday

#

Our raid is having difficulty being responsible about clearing stacks in general so that certainly wasn't helping

cinder roost
#

@hallow phoenix Repeat whole, basically YOU always take 4-5 and taunt back at barrage

inland ice
#

@lone socket As long as tank dying or healers exhausting their mana isn't an issue, going DPS is the right choice I reckon 🙂

hallow phoenix
#

@lone socket you take less overall damage if the boss dies faster amirite

lone socket
#

@inland ice I was first death (to boss dmg) on H Za'qul the first night I started swapping things for DPS but I think healers have adapted by now

#

lol, true, true

#

I did friendly warn them that I'd be less invincible

inland ice
#

I don't think worrying overly much about tank DPS is a good idea from the raid though

hallow phoenix
#

Every time I've ever died on zaqul it's because heals literally stopped healing me for 10 sec during tether

inland ice
#

If I was DPS in raid, I'd prefer tanks to be cushy and safer so healers can be more mana conservative

lone socket
#

it was more friendly ribbing but I've got a competitive anxiety thing goin'

inland ice
#

Hey now, you're not raiding if you're not whoring the log!

#

I'm the same, I want to be #1 as long as it ain'tj ust padding

lone socket
#

hah, yeah. I'm a reformed healer so I'm used to subjective parses

#

non-druid healer*

hallow phoenix
#

My raid lead is a bit too heavily focused on raw hps over the fight

lone socket
#

aye

exotic spoke
#

Ironteats - everone's role is to safely maximize dps

#

How much survivabilty you can give up depends on your situation

inland ice
#

For sure! I didn't say otherwise. That "safely maximize DPS" is quite vague.

hallow phoenix
#

Check your healers' DPS parses

lone socket
#

our top healer mentioned a few wipes in, "I just set a personal record of 0.1% raid damage that pull"

hallow phoenix
#

If they're orange you can sacrifice survival

lone socket
#

that's, well, good, not bad

#

well could be bad if people are fucking up and taking extra dmg

exotic spoke
#

It is intentionally vague. You need to work with your healers to determine what you can give up

lone socket
#

but primary roles > secondary

exotic spoke
#

hence why on Ashvane right now, Im asking them as I go more offensive if its still good.

lone socket
#

oh yeah, our druid healers are in the orange area for sure - DPS and healing

#

at least in H

exotic spoke
#

Until I go tto full offensive on thursday and they said they had no issues keeping me up

lone socket
#

essences too?

#

I've been meaning to start farming DPS ones

#

(mostly in anticipation of finally getting a single 2h drop)

#

but for tanking, too, sometimes

exotic spoke
#

CoF + Vision. Null will be next week. I didnt have rank 3. Cyclo + Gore crusted for trinkets and ran 2 RF, Swiling Sands, and whatever else I could to maximize dps from traits, Lastly - Devastator since Im going for dps

lone socket
#

awesome

vernal stirrup
#

I generally feel like warrior has a solid enough toolkit to get me through anything without essences so I generally just go full offense there

#

I don't raid mythic tho

#

so it's just to fit my guild

#

we are a super casual heroic guild, still working on court

lone socket
#

I'm gonna give that a shot. I'm a bit behind on neck lvl but should hit 60 by Tuesday

"a bit" - 🤔

vernal stirrup

yep, that's when I switched

hey, I am in the process of re-rolling from a holy priest to a prot warr for doing m+. do I need the blood of the enemy minor for higher keys? icy guide doesn't mention it but it makes sense to have it?

oblique garnet
#

Blood of the enemy is dps essence and you cant use it as tank

sick sentinel
#

did something happen to the cyclotronic trinket recently? tooltip dmg is lower than real and it feels like it pulls aggro better on pull than it used to. maybe i'm crazy idk

jovial warren

@oblique garnet my friend has it and said he is using it and it's a must for high keys? are you sure or is he stupid?

whats the better weapon paralytic barb or the royal scaleguards battleaxe ? is the barbs use ability worth it ?

warm plinth
#

Are they the same item level?

winter swan
#

the battleaxe is 335 the bard is 330

vernal stirrup
#

battleaxe

warm plinth
#

Then the battleaxe is better. The barb's effect is pretty meh. It's a tiny DR that's never going to save your life, and it reduces your damage as well.

vernal stirrup
#

barbs is OK but weapon dps is king

#

and yes it also reduces your damage

willow scarab
#

wait did I read barb wrong

#

reduces damage taken and damage done by 10%?

warm plinth
#

No, that's it

willow scarab

I thought it was +10% dmg -10% taken

What minor are you guys running for M+ this week?

sick sentinel
#

Only got the 1 minor and I'm not pushing high at all (around 12's) and i'm going the normal major and conflict and strife for minor.

#

And I've been playing prot since vanilla and I just joined the server like 20 min ago so Hai ^^

@true plover I'm running CoF major and VoP minor

unkempt palm
#

I’m running the standard visions major and lucid minor

#

Haven’t switched them up at all lol

true plover
#

@tawny maple CoF over Visions? I thought Visions was by far our best

red wedge
#

CoF is better single target dps. And you still get the shortened CD for Avatar with VoP minor.

tawny maple
#

Cof is big titty ST dmg

convergence of fates

tawny maple

Makes the big bad bosses and dangerous mobs go bye bye

true plover
#

Any idea how much more st dmg over visions it is?

#

Is blood mallet accurate?

@tawny maple What key levels are you running this week?

tawny maple
#

@true plover 13-16s

#

Pug life baby

sick sentinel
#

This week is easy

marble cipher
#

I don't like the combo too much tbf

true plover
#

Was thinking of running Vision/Sphere for necrotic but mighht just try CoF/Vision if it works really well. I'm running the same key levels

marble cipher
#

But wouldn't call it overly hard

#

I usually run Visions/CoF. Switched to sphere major this week

true plover
#

It seems like people run so many different combos

tawny maple
#

Oh yeah I don't like CoF I think it's boring AF but it does like good damage so

marble cipher
#

I'll almost exclusively run Visions major though, dem avatars 🤤

sick sentinel
#

Exclusively running visions as well

#

But I don't raid as prot

#

CoF is conflict and strife or am i missing something?

#

🤔

marble cipher
#

Crucible of Flames

#

The neck level one

sick sentinel
#

oh, is that actually a dps increase over vision? 😮 I mean, I'm having issues with not getting rid off my rage already and then add another GCD for that 🤔

true plover
#

Is CoF on the gcd?

red wedge
#

Yes

true plover
#

ah dam

tawny maple
#

@sick sentinel it's better ST damage

#

@sick sentinel also if you're having issue getting rid of you rage IP more

sick sentinel
#

Oh yeah, i was thinking wrong. I basically can't IP more. Atleast it feels that way xD

tawny maple
#

Then you should pull bigger / do harder content

#

Cause you a boss

sick sentinel
#

While i'm here and b4 i forget. I got another 430 head so i have 1 with bastion and the engi goggles (430) that ofc has defeaning crash. I do have bastion of might on both chest and shoulders. Should i be using goggles for def or go triple bastion?

warm plinth
#

Do you have DC on another piece?

sick sentinel
#

Nope, either 3x bast or double bast+DC

warm plinth
#

Then do double bastion + DC

tawny maple
#

The 2 BOM

tawny maple
#

I miss having two Bom

#

Or three

warm plinth
#

warm plinth

tawny maple
#

Feels bad Gnash

warm plinth

Only 418

sick sentinel
#

I bonus rolled radiance helm

warm plinth
#

😮

sick sentinel
#

yea that's what i was thinking aswell. Didn't realise i only had 1 of em atm. Something it feels like i'm missing atm tho is DPS. I kinda feel... obsolete like a concrete wall jsut spamming flashy lightning bolts xD

tawny maple
#

I got lucky and got the Kraken shoulders week 1

sick sentinel
#

I coined the court trink first kill, I don't raid but was pugging for that and the court trink

tawny maple
#

In the MDI do they just pick 445 or can they pick WF/TF pieces as well?

exotic spoke
#

tawny maple
#

oblique garnet
#

@exotic spoke Battalion 1944 is fast paced shooter

warm plinth
#

Cuphead is a fast paced shooter I hear

#

😂

exotic spoke
#

#

Though cuphead is somethign I need to pick up

#

Late - CS set in 1944?

vernal stirrup
#

@exotic spoke titan fall 2 and apex legends

oblique garnet
#

its like mix of everything tbh set in 1944

#

really fast paced

true plover
#

Is there any way to "best" set up CoF in an m+ run or just use it on cd?

exotic spoke
#

Checking it out. thanks also mr. 2012.

#

Part of me wishes old school CoD games / games like that were big instead of BR games

#

On CD Nem - as long as you don't overwrite the buff at the very beginning when you have two charges availabl;e

vernal stirrup
#

titanfall2 is just a straight up arena shooter like cod

#

but with the best movement I've ever seen in a game

#

and also giant robots

exotic spoke
#

Yeah - but its not on steam and also its like CoD future shit right?

oblique garnet
#

oh you like old school cod?

#

Then you are gonna like battalion

exotic spoke
#

Im old 😦 Give me like MW 1 - MW 3

vernal stirrup
#

advanced warfare ripped off the jump pack from titanfall, yes

exotic spoke
#

Or cod1-3 as well

vernal stirrup
#

and did it way worse

exotic spoke
#

Yeah I never liked AW

warm plinth
#

I'm looking forward to the reboot of MW

#

Super excited

vernal stirrup
#

titanfall2 also has the best campaign of any shooter imo

outer dew
#

Still waiting for this wc3 reskin
