So saying that it’s not possible to get stuck is asinine

hasty nova
#

you just need to go to a server that has a lot of people, and work on making yourself a better tank

honest frigate
#

Most guilds don’t recruit tanks it’s an unfortunate fact of the game and many recruit from the inside. Best chance to get into a cutting edge guild imo is network through m+ since it’s a more accessible part of the game

chilly brook
#

I’m on Tich bruh it’s a huge server

willow scarab
#

I agree m+ is a good way in

limpid pawn
#

99 parse by definition is not easy

willow scarab
#

it also helps you meet people

limpid pawn
#

you understand what the parse means right?

willow scarab
#

okay

#

listen to me here

rigid yarrow
#

So... Theorycrafting question totally off topic of the current convo here. Are there ANY circumstances in which I should prioritize Ignore Pain over Shield Block? One of my friends is trying to "prove" to me that dumping ALL Rage into IP is better in all situations, and I'm highly doubting that.

willow scarab
#

it's not competitive at all

#

the majority of parses are warriors not even trying to parse

#

the orange logs are there for the taking

hasty nova
#

@rigid yarrow absolutely not, SB is warrior number one midigation

willow scarab
#

Spend rage on IP instead of SB when you're taking magic damage or have excess rage

limpid pawn
#

what the heck?

willow scarab
#

Unblockable damage / magic damage *

hasty nova
#

unless you are in situations where you are taking almsot pure magic

chilly brook
#

@rigid yarrow no

limpid pawn
#

do you hear this guy

chilly brook
#

Unless you can’t block

hasty nova
#

lol "shield block always besides time you can't shield block

chilly brook
#

Block is always better in situations where it can be blocked

honest frigate
#

Parses are not relevant to what makes a good mythic raider. They show the ability to press your buttons and cheese encounters. What’s relevant is how well does someone handle a mechanic, how consistent is someone in handling mechanics, and how effective are they in group dynamics

willow scarab
#

When you're going for a prot 99 you're competing with people who don't cast revenge, barely use avatar and don't use unbridled fury pots

limpid pawn
#

fumi is the very definition of the "bootstraps" guy

#

lol

willow scarab
#

It's not competitive

limpid pawn
#

ok fumi

#

ill work on my 99 parses more

willow scarab
#

Go look at a 50 log compared to a 99

exotic spoke
#

@rigid yarrow fights like radiance of azshata for the adds

Unblockable damage

willow scarab
#

the 50 is just bad play like that's it

honest frigate
#

There’s a lot more to it than just that but you need to be focused less on parses and more on the general gameplay and working with your guildiws/those around you

willow scarab
#

like missed globals and all

#

Tank logs are the least competitive of all and if you want 99s they're not a big task to get

rigid yarrow
#

So SB always unless SB is useless or SB is still on CD, is what I'm hearing XD

hasty nova
#

well man, thats the thing about the game. and honestly it translates to every part of life too. BETTER YOURSELF FIRST. When you spend so much time making the grass in your own yard green that you don't notice other people's yard. you will notice that those problems you had about finding groups, are not problems anymore.

chilly brook
#

Why are 50 parses even in the conversation?

#

No one in here was talking about having bad parses

willow scarab
#

I'm talking about how easy it is to get a 99

exotic spoke
#

@limpid pawn I’ll say this then I’m leaving it dead and not responding any more

Imo you’re drawing a false comparison because this is a game that people play for fun. there is skill involved and it is no one else’s responsibility to help out a struggling player

That is different than a real life situation and I think if you’re honest with yourself you’ll agree. Because a game isn’t life or death - unlike real life

willow scarab
#

i don't have them because i'm good

#

there is no competition, just don't waste globals and press avatar on CD

#

that's it

honest frigate
#

@rigid yarrow yes generally SB should be prioritized when tanking mobs that primarily melee or have attacks you can block, whereas IP is generally better served to be prioritized in high magic encounters I.E, shadow of zul or OT zaqul

empty spire
#

tbh its strange, many guilds ive been in have different opinions when recruiting tanks

#

some want big healing/mitigation logs,m some want big damage

rigid yarrow
#

yeah, my guild is oversaturated with tanks, so I'm exclusively World Content and Dungeons 😛

warm plinth
#

Healing/mitigation logs 🤔

willow scarab
#

You want to have logs to show that you can do hybrid, full healing and full offensive

#

If you cover every base you're a prime applicant

empty spire
#

I mean as warrior I feel like you have to sacrifice so much rage to IP if you want to healing log

chilly brook
#

I don’t really think you can say 99s are ez, purple parsing sure

empty spire
#

so youll only get like a 90 log on damage

limpid pawn
#

99 are ez

#

according to him

hasty nova
#

@rigid yarrow I would go to weakauras - addons, grab a shield block uptime WA. and practice making sure it is ALWAYS active while you are activly tanking a mob or boss. and fill in gaps with IP.

willow scarab
#

Look at a 90-95 log comapred to a 99

#

it's still them just not pressing buttons often enough or on cd

empty spire
#

like I rarely do much damage on progression

willow scarab
#

the only competitive part of prot warrior logs is the top 10

empty spire
#

but on reclear i go like crucible/barrier

limpid pawn
#

ok fumi

hasty nova
#

once you master that you can focus on when to take one over the other, because if your like me when i first started getting better, more technical, I didn't realize how often I didn't have SB up.

limpid pawn
#

so 10 people are the only "good players"

willow scarab
#

i didn't say that

#

i said the only competitive prot warrior logs are top 10

#

and that 99s are just by pressing buttons on cd

honest frigate
#

Parsing 99’s as a warrior is gated this tier largely behind Null barrier R3, Cyclo blast, R3 CoF, neck level, azerite availability etc

empty spire
#

I mean theres a few prots on the top 10 that sculpt pulls

chilly brook
#

I mean like how you gonna parse 99 when you pulling the aggro off your cotank tho?

limpid pawn
#

lol

exotic spoke
#

@willow scarab I agree with what @weary thorn said. It’s pointless to continue this conversation

limpid pawn
#

griff, this guy is completely out of touch with reality

chilly brook
#

I was just making a meme comment

#

I’m not gonna insult anyone

willow scarab
#

My thoughts got me the spot that i'm in

#

your thoughts got you the guild you're in

#

I guess that's all there really is to it

honest frigate
#

I think that’s a pretty mean way of looking at it Fum

willow scarab
#

He just called me out of touch with reality though

honest frigate
#

Both sides should take a step back and listen to each other

exotic spoke
#

the truth hurts sometimes

chilly brook
#

I think people are too willing to automatically jump to conclusions and not see the nuance

willow scarab
#

I'm not obliged to be nice to people, I've said what works and how simple it is

exotic spoke
#

But it’s honestly pointless to continue the conversation - that’s directed at people on both sides of the conversation

rigid yarrow
#

@hasty nova what's your opinion of the HeroRotation addon?

hasty nova
#

hmm let me look that up right quick is that a WA? or actuall independant addon

rigid yarrow
#

independent addon very similar to WA

chilly brook
#

Real talk though (this isn’t to continue anything) I actually hated one of my cotanks in legion because he would mess up my parses cuz he couldn’t hold aggro

honest frigate
#

The fact of the matter is that parses are often gated behind time spent outside of raid, and then dictated by how well you cheese the encounter in raid. On the other side, it’s important to realize that parsing isn’t everything and that the top 10 warrior logs don’t indicate best warriors. There’s a lot more to an applicant than parses and taking the time to focus on those things is much more important

hasty nova
rigid yarrow
#

It puts a box next to the mid-screen health bar that tells you what to cast when, using SimC APLs

hasty nova
#

i use these two weak auras

#

very small minimal screen and helps A LOT

#

i'm not familiar with the one you asked about so i couldn't give an honest opinion on it sorry

#

but differnt things work for different players

exotic spoke
#

I should get some WA. But ehhhhh

hasty nova
#

what you SHOULD do however, is log yourself in the next raid or dungon you do.

exotic spoke
#

I’ll forgot by the time I’m home in 5 hours

hasty nova
#

and see what your UPTIME for block is

willow scarab
#

Are yo utalking about one of those addons that tells you the rotation

hasty nova
#

that would be a good way to gauge if that method is working for you or not

chilly brook
#

I like to maximize my damage output, but I also prioritize not taking a ton of damage @honest frigate

exotic spoke
#

But how do your healers parse then?

hasty nova
#

i generally dislike addons that "circle" the butotn i should press.

chilly brook
#

By healing the idiots in the fire @exotic spoke

exotic spoke
#

Like, when they get bored and want to parse I know it means I should go super offensive

willow scarab
#

Good healer logs come from standing in mechanics on purpose

exotic spoke
#

Like - zero survivability traits/ trinkets / talents

willow scarab
#

and using less healers

honest frigate
#

Lol when healers want to parse it literally does not mean you go super offensive it means you stand in fire

willow scarab
#

and high leech

exotic spoke
#

Truth

#

I got a 430 bandages with leech.... feels bad man

chilly brook
#

Oof

willow scarab
#

rip

#

Think like this right

#

ashvane is 3 healers

#

imagine... 2 healing

#

if you actually manage to kill the boss you're getting 2 rank 1s

honest frigate
#

Tank trinkets and azerite traits largely don’t matter for prot warrior in raid and all of the content can be completed with a pure offensive set up 🤷🏻‍♂️

exotic spoke
#

I mean - yeah you right

chilly brook
#

I’m actually just considering becoming a healer

willow scarab
#

It's like that hpally who blasted rank 1 in BoD

chilly brook
#

Would be way easier to get a slot

willow scarab
#

when they discovered glimmer and he solo healed the first boss

rigid yarrow
#

HeroRotation is ALMOST like spellflash, except it doesn't highlight the ability on your ABs, it just shows you the ability icon next to the health bar. GCD abilities in the big box and anything off GCD in the smaller boxes right above it.

chilly brook
#

Holy pally here we come! 🙃

willow scarab
#

Using a rotationhelper is a bad idea and you'll do significantly better just learning how to play the class without one

chilly brook
#

Break out my original character

exotic spoke
#

It’s the same reasoning to how I got a rank 1 healing parse in legion

If you’re supposed to two tank the fight and I solo tank it cause the other one dies - as long as I can tank both bosses and not die I Winn

willow scarab
#

Rotationhelpers to me feel like 1 step away from botting

#

Like... you're almost not even playing the game

chilly brook
#

Solo tanking felhounds 🙃

hasty nova
#

Well, getting a spot as a tank is certainly more demanding than a healer. if there is 10 raids, there would only be 20 spots for a tank, where there could be either 40 or 50 healer spots

chilly brook
#

Blood DK felhounds was 😂

limpid pawn
#

but just 99 parse it

#

gus then you'll get your 7/8 M guild spot

willow scarab
#

you're really salty about not being able to get 99s aren't you

#

just press your buttons properly

limpid pawn
#

it's called - limited spots fumeiyo

willow scarab
#

usurp

exotic spoke
#

Jesus ducking Christ. Let this fucking drop

analog swift
#

yo

#

as an aside

#

i love this discord so much

#

half hte people in here don't even play prot war any more

#

but we still argue about nothing

#

anyway

willow scarab
#

That's the most annoying part

analog swift
#

LEECH

willow scarab
#

AT least let me argue with prot warrior players

exotic spoke
#

@chilly brook Yeah boy! I did 1.5M HPS as a prot warrior solo tanking the hounds

hasty nova
#

oh come off it, @limpid pawn I understand why you are resistant to what fume is saying

but think about it this way, when i came to this discord i was 1.5k raider.io and 2/9M BoD. @willow scarab is actually specfically the person who helped me with a few tips

those tips brought my sb uptime WAY up, and my damg WAY WAY up.

now i'm 2.2k raider.io and in a different, better guild that is 4/8M EP.

#

so while i understand why you are frustrated, don't be petty to someone who has helped a shit ton of ppl on here for no reward

#

even if he is being kinda a dick right now, (still love you fume)

willow scarab
#

I'm a dick all the time

chilly brook
#

Some of us still do play prot, just not as much as we used to

analog swift
#

i know i don't play prot either rn 😦

#

prot for keys and brew for raids

rigid yarrow
#

Well if you think of Raids as a movie, and rotationhelpers as a script, most of the best performances in history were way off-script. You just have to know when to ignore the helper and panic-smash your defensive CDs lol

hasty nova
#

or be like @analog swift and work meta magic

willow scarab
#

There are minor things that your rotation helper won't help with

exotic spoke
#

Gus, you 2.2 current season? Grats

willow scarab
#

for example

#

If a boss casts an 8 second cast and your SB expired - the helper will tell you to apply another SB

chilly brook
#

I just really wouldn’t even worry about a rotation helper

hasty nova
#

but also remember that tanks are REQUIRED to be good af. there are only 2 tanks sometimes 3 in a raid. if you are not ABOVE average (OF THE GROUP YOU ARE TRYING TO GET IN, NOT the population of wow as a whole) as a tank you will have more trouble

willow scarab
#

but you can hold it for 8 seconds and bank up an entire charge

empty spire
#

I mean my guild are asking me to reroll Brewmaster

chilly brook
#

Prot “rotation” is really simple

analog swift
#

<3, this chat is my favorite thing to do when waiting for my case to be called

#

@empty spire unless you need the mystic touch debuff or are stuck on radiance that's dumb

chilly brook
#

You in court?

willow scarab
#

A lot of guilds want BrM

chilly brook
#

What did you do?

analog swift
#

or court

willow scarab
#

they're good in this raid and always good for prgo

oblique garnet
#

court is fine for warrior

analog swift
#

OH i'm a lawyer lol I thought you meant queen's court

chilly brook
#

Ahhhh

empty spire
#

well we have no monk

willow scarab
#

court is sort of okay for warrior

analog swift
#

yeah same why I went BrM

empty spire
#

and 2 monks is generally better than not 2 monks on prog

willow scarab
#

just don't solo tank the zealous erruption during no heal phase

chilly brook
#

When I said court I meant real life court not in game

analog swift
#

hahahahahahah

hasty nova
#

god damnit i missed another rare enemies in mechagon. i can't handle you guys anymore lmao. i gotta go play wow. good luck to all of you

analog swift
#

yeah Brew is the best tank and MW is meh and WW is mega mehhhh

hasty nova
#

see ya next time.

chilly brook
#

I love WA

#

WW*

willow scarab
#

yeah it's 5am i should get a few hours sleep before this becomes an all nighter

exotic spoke
#

@hasty nova fine - dontnanswer me. I’m a sad panda

analog swift
#

WWW is so much fun

willow scarab
#

enjoy skyhjold

chilly brook
#

MW hasn’t been the same since they took away chi

exotic spoke
#

I SEE HOW IT IS @hasty nova

analog swift
#

just really meh for raids

#

also new monk theory crafting with no rsk is wack

chilly brook
#

Wdym?

#

Is there something in Peak that I should check out?

brisk ferry

they posted in the WW section for wind-announce

chilly brook
#

Huh interesting

#

Not surprised but interesting

hasty nova
#

@exotic spoke lmao riki LET ME LEAVE PEACEFULLY.

chilly brook

No

exotic spoke
#

2200 current season?

hasty nova

also i'm 1.5 to 2.2 last season. this season i'm 1.8 atm

exotic spoke
#

Aight - Grats man. Just was curious 😃

#

Enjoy Mechagon friend

chilly brook
#

I kinda wanna run a resto shaman

hasty nova
#

yeah not enough time lately, been slacking I think i'll get back up there when i can find more time

chilly brook
#

I feel like they’re about to be nutty

hasty nova
#

but everyone says taht am i right ? 🙂

exotic spoke
#

Truth

#

So uh, anyone else hate TD as much as I do now?

brisk ferry
#

ME

#

I do

exotic spoke
#

Like literal aids. We had to pick between that or siege. In hindsight I’m not sure we picked correctly

analog swift
#

yeah

#

they shouldn't have nerfed % AND the canons

#

I hated the canons before but now there's just sooo much %

#

and you can't really pull mongo with the current layout

exotic spoke
#

Plus the emissary placement is aids

red wedge
#

My group currently has 2 sieges and 3 shrines to run ;p

exotic spoke
#

What levels?

red wedge
#

a 17 and an 18 siege, and the shrines are all 17

exotic spoke
#

Also, UR was nice this week. Shrine wasn’t bad. Missed shrine by a few seconds when our rdruid died on last boss and we couldn’t res him since he ended up in shadow shit

strong forum
#

TD is big gay now

exotic spoke
#

I’d do shrine - it wasn’t bad at all

strong forum
#

The nerd to cannons was too big

red wedge
#

UR is one of my favorite dungeons in general, so I never have problems running that.

#

we did a 16 shrine already, and ya. Not bad at all

strong forum
#

At this point you waste more time to try get maximum use out of them as if you were to just not use em at all

red wedge
#

Yea.. I never liked TD, really. Since the changes I try the following: kill the first 4 mobs by the first cannon, use the first cannon to kill the far pack, then try to double up on the 2nd pack with the 2nd cannon.. Group kills whatever is left. Then skip everything after barrel boss...

strong forum
#

The most annoying part is

#

Walls

#

Walls don't exist in TD

#

I've had 2 runs where I pulled packs through the wall with Tclap

#

Back to back

#

Just because this dungeon is retarded

brisk ferry
#

it's especially bad with any of the reflecting emissaries

#

pull through walls, ceilings, floors

#

everything

strong forum
#

It's disgusting

#

Like how can this fly

#

Just make normal fucking walls

#

How hard can it be

#

Or fucking Dh eyebeaming through wall

#

Or we/

sand egret
#

honestly, walls are kinda hard

brisk ferry
#

pretty soft according to Nome

#

really though the dungeon walls have been pretty shit all of BFA, but that new emissary has definitely made it worse

with never surender and 3 BS traits at 1% health it blocks 140k damage for me

Why the fuck would you use NS

am i not allowed to test things?

Also, Hi @oblique garnet

I mean sure - but NS is a waste lol

sick sentinel
#

yeah youre right ill take indomitable

exotic spoke
#

Lol

sand egret
#

if only NS didn't scale lineraly

#

and also scaled in its proportion

exotic spoke
#

Cause Indom is soooooo good

sand egret

10% good

better than Domitable

#

worst talent

exotic spoke

Math checks out

sick sentinel

im taking indom just to piss other warriors off

candid path
#

Big fan of Outdomitable over here.

#

It's working.

exotic spoke
#

Cause you think gladiator still exists

This just in - it’s dead

sick sentinel
#

glad exists

#

you just arnt a believer

candid path
#

Current Prot is a better DPS than Glad ever was.

strong forum
#

:doubt:

#

wod glad was topping meters

#

i dont see prot topping meters

exotic spoke
#

It doesn’t exist because it’s not a dps spec

If you want to dps as rank that’s fine - but don’t expect to be invited as a dps spot and stay when they see you’re doing sub par dps numbers

sick sentinel
#

or when they see im beating other dps

#

and they are embarresed

candid path
#

If only M+ had existed in WoD, maybe it'd have been well-received.

strong forum
#

^

exotic spoke
#

I’d be embarrassed if I thought it was still good enough to do it without causing problems for the group

sick sentinel
#

i think ur just jealous

candid path
#

I mean, obviously Prot's only competitive in M+

exotic spoke
#

Jealous? Ha! I do the dps you do and actually tank the boss

frigid heart
#

how bad is prot war on azshara, is it worth juicing up a monk at this point or nah. Startin zaqul soon

exotic spoke
#

I think you’re being selfish and not realizing it’s dead and gone

candid path
#

It's literally always worth juicing up a Monk for raid.

exotic spoke
#

Mythic or heroic?

honest frigate
#

I think there a few prot warriors that have killed azshara so far on mythic

candid path
#

But it's doable as a Warrior.

frigid heart
#

mythic

honest frigate
#

Any end boss is doable as any tank

frigid heart
#

not asking if possible, just asking if its worth swapping for last 2

honest frigate
#

No point in gearing a monk if you want to play warrior but if you want to play monk go for it

#

Not worth imo given essence gating and the amount of progress you’d need to compensate for outside of raid if your monk is not already raid ready

frigid heart
#

didnt know if anyone in here was progging azshara and had opinions, no public logs of it on war so far

honest frigate
#

@hasty nova killed it I believe

exotic spoke
#

He did ashvane

candid path
#

It really just depends on how much more work you need to do to get your Monk up to snuff.

honest frigate
#

Oh oops my bad for the tag

#

I wouldnt say it’s worth I’m not swapping for azshara 🤷🏻‍♂️

limpid pawn
#

i killed it on my main, and monk is better for sure

#

but prot war can do it

candid path
#

But there's no reason to not have a Monk ready to rock for raiding if you're a serious man.

honest frigate
#

That’s only the top 1% of raiding honestly

candid path
#

A boss has a final phase with a stacking mortal strike effect. It stacks on autos. Dodgeable autos.

#

Pretty easy to know which class is going to reign supreme.

honest frigate
#

Not relevant what tank you play if you’re not competing for world first

empty spire
#

i see warriors using Heavy Repercussions

sick sentinel
#

you already crippled your guild by going prot war this tier may as well stick with it until the end

honest frigate
#

Prot warrior kills will come in just like every other tank

empty spire
#

I guess everythings possible

sick sentinel
#

heavy repercussions is the future of prot warrior

empty spire
#

I sincerly hope so

exotic spoke
#

I think @oblique garnet is on azshara

empty spire
#

I mean how good actually is it considering Brace for impact is a thing

candid path
#

I see people successfully playing suboptimal garbage as a testament to the indomitable nature of the human spirit more than a justification for that trash being not-so-trash, but maybe that's just me.

oblique garnet
#

hm?

exotic spoke
#

You’re working on azshara right?

oblique garnet
#

Ye

#

but only @shut summit is playing warr afaik

exotic spoke
#

Someone was asking about prot viability for it

sick sentinel
#

heavy repercussions sims well depending on how many bastion of might traits you have vs other stuff

oblique garnet
#

im playing monk

exotic spoke
#

Ahhh rip

frigid heart
#

why play monk its only relevant on world first kills 4head

empty spire
#

yeam my guild wants me playing monk on that fight as well, gearing it this reset

sick sentinel
#

end of this tier is gonna be a fat dream's end with 3 rf and heavy repercussions cant wait

exotic spoke
#

I’m soooo happy i don’t worry about that

#

Mmmm that does sound sexy though

#

So glad I don’t have to worry about Gearing monk I mean

frigid heart
#

thx for input azshara folks 🙂

oblique garnet
#

Monk is just better for the add movement because taunt gives ms

#

and also being able to dodge jolts

#

warrior is perfectly fine for it

#

monk is just better

shut summit
#

p much

oblique garnet
#

Sensemonk when?

shut summit

never

oblique garnet

Good

could you tell me the streamer name?

its me lol, just started streaming this week, not sure im allowed to plug streams outside of promotion channel but im 6/8m and do mythic+ on warrior and monk

rapid tide

Why did I decide to trial on Fury. Uff.

#

I have no idea how that spec works...

#

Should have tried to get a tankspot after all 😄

sick sentinel
#

Any tips how to sidestep Cragmaws (2nd boss underrot) frontal? It seems to be really hard as he traces for like 80% of the cast and if you don't hit the timing perfectly you get hit

warm plinth
#

You don't sidestep it; you back away from it

empty spire
#

i might try HR build with brace for impact next raid

#

ill blame warrior discord if it doesnt work

warm plinth
#

When the timer hits slightly under 1 sec left, he'll stop moving. You can literally backpedal/strafe back away from him and it'll miss you as long as you keep moving until the cast goes off.

sick sentinel
#

So literally outrange it? Or you mean like a diagonal strafe to the right/left?

warm plinth
#

No you just outrange it

sand egret
#

@sick sentinel it's an 8 yrd frontal cone

#

walk backwards 8 yards

#

and then promptly fire a /dance macro

warm plinth
#

You can literally backpedal and make it out in time as long as you start moving at slightly under 1 second on the timer (when he "roots" himself)

sand egret
#

or be an actual tank and side-walk it (it's faster than backpeddlin)

warm plinth
#

But strafing perpendicular to him gives you a bit more wiggle room

oh I lied, it's 12 yards

warm plinth
#

So like (BOSS)(YOU). Boss is about to cast Indigestion. You strafe so (BOSS)---->(YOU). Best diagram ever.

sand egret
#

also TIL that each tick is it's own individual spell....they hand place tick numbers....

warm plinth
#

Each tick of Indigestion?

#

Oh

#

Nvm

#

The ticks he spawns

sand egret
#

yeah summon tick is a single tick instance

#

they fire 6x of those

#

instead of a single spell with a dynamic range

warm plinth
#

My favorite part of Tantrum is when you got everything cleared and then he's like nope, let me shit out some more for you rq

exotic spoke
#

Indigestion is fun 😃

sick sentinel
#

just block indegestion

exotic spoke
#

....

sand egret
#

or take 0 damage

warm plinth
#

You can't block it 🤔

sick sentinel
#

raise your shield above your head and let the indegestion fall off it

warm plinth
#

Also just noticed the spreadsheet still shows it as requiring leap to outrange

#

Which is definitely not the case, since I did 2 13s this week on my pally and just strafed to avoid it

sand egret
#

i strafe it every tim e

sick sentinel
#

Wait that sounded like you strafe before he starts casting it

sand egret
#

it's literally just a 12 yards cone. Can you run 12 yards in 1.5 seconds? Yes.

warm plinth
#

Yeah, I just look at the boss timers and when it's at like .9 or .8 seconds, I start strafing. He roots himself for the cast around that point

sand egret
#

psh timers

warm plinth
#

Hush elitist

#

🗞

sand egret
#

but he does cast an ability* at his energy intervals so it's pretty readable

#
  • the fact that he's a big boy and you don't have to be sitting on the origin to tank him, so you're running less than 12 yards
warm plinth
#

Mmhm. Pretty easy to predict even if you don't have timers

#

Just might strafe for nothing if it's charge first instead of indigestion lol. But then you can intercept for more rage 😄

sand egret
#

honestly I just run during the timer itself and it works out /shrug

exotic spoke
#

You have to pre run on every ability until he casts indigestion

#

To make it safely out

warm plinth
#

Yeah since the only one you know is coming is if he does charge/indigestion/charge, and you still have to pre-run for the first one just in case

sand egret
#

once you get the hang of it, it's super trivial imho

warm plinth
#

Yeah. Good thing too since if it does hit you, it hurts a bit

sand egret
#

that DID racial comin in clutch there

warm plinth
#

lawl

#

4% indoor movespeed ftw

sand egret
#

if you rock the KR cloak

#

even better

warm plinth
#

Oh shit

exotic spoke
#

I... I honestly forgot that movespeed bonus existed

warm plinth
#

Pro strats

sand egret
#

it's poor man's GonkGang

exotic spoke
#

WATCH YOUR MOUTH

warm plinth
#

Literally poor man, because Zandas get more gold from loot

sick sentinel
#

oh my god I finally understood it, thanks alot bois. I thought YOu have to wait until 3/4 of the cast is DONE and then start moving. I didnt get that you start moving before he starts the cast

sand egret
#

noooo

warm plinth
#

No no no

#

If you do that you're getting nailed

#

Oh wait

#

I should read the whole message

exotic spoke
#

Yeah - that’s how you die. Personally - I don’t like dying

warm plinth
#

The first thing is how you die

exotic spoke
#

That’s why you move pre cast - like you said

warm plinth
#

The second part is how you do it correctly

sand egret
#

unless you got a movespeed boost, or have an insane reaction speed, you need to anticipate the cast

exotic spoke
#

I have leap ready Incase I fuck it

sand egret
#

also a totally viable option

#

unless you save that for tantrum to help with ticks

sick sentinel
#

Yeah, I always thought that he traces til the very end of the cast and then stops moving, so that you have to time and wait til the very end of the cast and then start moving at the exact right moment. But yeah, its clear now 😄 thanks a lot

exotic spoke
#

That sounds like a healer problem to deal with

Or dps I guess

warm plinth
sand egret
#

he traces horizontally but he's stationary

#

also to point out in that clip, doesnt' even look like Sense pre-runs. He starts moving as the cast bar appears

warm plinth
#

Yeah I noticed that too

sand egret
#

so, like I said, no pre-run necessary ;P

warm plinth
#

So looks like you have quite a bit of margin for error

sand egret
#

(but not a bad habit lol)

warm plinth
#

Yeah especially while you're getting used to it

sand egret
#

oh for sure

#

maybe he's just stacking that Speed stat though.....

warm plinth
#

I'm sure he is lul. Just to make HMT not feel like molasses

exotic spoke
#

Just play goblin

warm plinth
#

Or Kul Tiran. Be a big boi without feeling slow af

exotic spoke
#

Nah - goblin or gnome

#

If they can’t see you they can’t hit you

warm plinth
#

John Cena philosophy. Clever.

exotic spoke
#

Who?

#

Never seen him

warm plinth
#

Well played sir, well played

analog swift
#

late response, sense looks like he maximizes melee range tho for the run

exotic spoke
#

@oblique garnet mind letting me know when you finish that run? Just have a question for you

winter skiff
#

wow 80 % haste

#

from sense thats crazy

oblique garnet
#

@exotic spoke hm?

warm plinth
#

@winter skiff That's with procs during drums buff :p

winter skiff
#

oh i see

exotic spoke
#

Can someone please make it 7 pm eastern. I want to get out of here

weary thorn
#

Man I leave work at 3 or I'll never make it through DC traffic

#

I also get in by 7 though for the same reason

oblique garnet
#

@warm plinth premoving is mostly just a safety precaution because on the first cast it can be either charge or frontal and if you are too slow to react you wont make it out of range

#

I.e if its charge first you know when the frontal is coming and you can move accordingly when the cast comes looking at timers but on the first cast its safer to premove a bit

warm plinth
#

I always premove. Better safe than sorry

exotic spoke
#

@weary thorn you may not be able to log in. I had issues connecting to wow and it is apparently still going on - especially if you have Verizon

#

And I’m close to Annapolis.

Also - fuck DC traffic

weary thorn
#

hmmm

#

I'm down in Fairfax, but I was on just an hour ago

#

I'll double check right now

exotic spoke
#

Apparently was an issue with Verizon

weary thorn
#

yea, I'm in. And I have cox literalgarbage

exotic spoke
#

And you should be fine if you connected 30 minutes ago

weary thorn
#

yea looks good on my end

#

Hi guys, Fury is my main spec. Prot is my alt for Keys, but which Trinkets would you recommend?

exotic spoke
#

This week or in general?

ivory barn
#

in general

#

I do only Keys in Prot

exotic spoke
#

In general - and this is slightly vague sorry - I would do no more than 1 defensive trinket personally

I haven’t played around with edicts yet because I don’t have it - So id use urchin. Maybe edicts in places like mother lode.
As for the dps probably gore crusted or rezans

ivory barn
#

which one out of the ones I linked would you use?

exotic spoke
#

If I didn’t think I needed the defensive I’d sim and figure out which gave the most offensive - I think gore crusted is up there and probably rezan

#

I think those are all linked?

ivory barn
#

yeah the 2 equipped + the 4 below the frame

exotic spoke
#

Urchin (rarely edicts) and probably gore - though that 440 eye is sexy

If I don’t need defensive trinkets I’d use gore and eye

ivory barn
#

whats the Urchin/edict?

exotic spoke
#

Is that the trinket to the right of gore crusted

ivory barn
#

thats a razor Coral

exotic spoke
#

And edicts of the faithless - isn’t that what you’re using

#

Oh it looks the same or similar

ivory barn
#

thats the inkpod

exotic spoke
#

Ahh my bad.
gore and rezan than

#

Then*

ivory barn
#

alrighty Thank you!

opaque shuttle
#

Hey guys, do you think that swapping one of my BoM to Loyal to the end ( asuming that other raiders have it ) is worth ?

honest frigate
#

No BoM is definitely better imo

willow scarab
#

If everyone has loyal to the end it's not a bad idea

#

You're helping them and 351 mastery constantly vs 700 on your avatar is similar value

#

But make sure you have at least 1 BoM for the IP part of the trait

spice ferry
#

yeh i'd say your raids benefit would outweigh your own loss quite a bit, depending on how many are also running it

sick sentinel
#

Guys I need a bit of help. I want to try to time a +10 KR, but I'm afraid of the little guys at the start that they are going to wreck the group

warm plinth
#

Are you alliance or horde?

sick sentinel
#

horde

warm plinth
#

Just invite a belf rogue and have them go in and cloak/arcane torrent

sick sentinel
#

hmm okay

warm plinth
#

Or if you're a belf you can probably berserker rage/arcane torrent

#

Never tried that though since I'm a dwarf, but we do the rogue strat on my horde team

#

If there's no void at the start, you can also shroud/invis past the first pack of them and rogue can do it on the ones that spawn in the boss room

#

You hit the gong, rest of the group stands back by the gong, and the rogue stealths to the spawn and cloak/torrents/vanishes

#

You'll be out of range of bursting and rogue doesn't even have to die

oblique garnet
#

You can berserker rage into arcane torrent to them, rogues can also distract into belf

warm plinth
#

Thanks sweetie for the confirmation

#

inland mesa
#

Is guild launch dead for anyone else?

merry cave
#

That's a much more sophisticated Strat, we just clear them then laugh as our Resto druid gets worsening blood pressure

oblique garnet
#

What rogues can and should do when they enter the first boss room is if they are belfs and the adds spawn Distract them->Belf->vanish that way all the minions are cleared and if its bursting rest of the team is out of range while rogue can just cloak

sick sentinel
#

so, is there a range on bursting? i know its about to end but i might give that KR 10 one more go

#

we were like 53 minutes few too many wipes at the start

merry cave
#

60y I think

sick sentinel
#

wow, thats a bit scary

merry cave
#

Don't quote me on that

sick sentinel
#

my other idea to get it, was to have a pally pull it when it pats and then he bubbles or has a SS, and then we get him to rez healer and then us

oblique garnet
#

the bursting stacks wont kill you because they are simultaneous it doesnt do as much as staggered

sick sentinel
#

I think a 10 over time on KR is good enough for me this week, I beat 8 of my previous records this weekend anyway, did a bunch of 10s on time

#

not the best times, but i did them at least

willow scarab
#

@sick sentinel just shroud past them and then you’re fine, no bursting to deal with either

#

You could also bring a spriest and mass dispel them then have your healer top everyone

sick sentinel
#

well, there is a pack at the boss room which i am more afraid of

willow scarab
#

That one is actually easier

#

Pull the left pack back to the golden button which starts the room

#

The pats will stop at that spot and are free to be dealt with separately

#

Alternatively you can pull both right and left packs together and go back to the golden button. That will give you even more space to deal with them

oblique garnet
#

You progging zagul fume?

willow scarab
#

Stupid boss

#

8% best wipe, we’re like 70 attempts in

#

Being the tank that has to do literally everything sucks

#

And when the tentacles spawn on top of the circle he’s gotta soak? 🙅‍♂️🙅‍♂️ miss me with that

sick sentinel
#

being a main tank can be stressful as all hell, but when that boss goes down and everyone cheers at you for it, it's worth it

willow scarab
#

While you’re right - just wait till mythic zaqul. You have so much to do the entire time

#

It’s like 2x the normal amount of stuff to deal with and the other tank mostly gets to afk

sick sentinel
#

mythic zaqul, no thanks

oblique garnet
#

is your cotank still the dk?

sick sentinel
#

you mean fumeiyo?

oblique garnet
#

Yes

sick sentinel
#

okay, because i used to have a dk co-tank, but then i left the guild last week

willow scarab
#

Yeah still the dk

#

It’s pretty nice for add control and he can heal himself through the mitigated damage I give to him

#

Monk obviously better but it’s working fine

#

The only reason the boss isn’t dead is because my job is so hard 😊 sandbagging the raid

oblique garnet
#

monk taunt is real nice for moving the boss :))

willow scarab
#

It’s so tilting having dps make remarks after wipes

#

Like their entire job is to follow the boss and stand in a few circles

oblique garnet
#

Youre gonna love azhara

#

Im doing all the moving on it

#

Its not fun :))

vernal stirrup
#

I hate it when dps try to tell me how to move the boss

#

especially after a wipe

unkempt bramble
#

Would u guys sacrifice a 3rd BoM trait for an azerite 25 ilvls higher

oblique garnet
#

yes

unkempt bramble
#

for m+ that is

oblique garnet
#

depends on the traits

unkempt bramble
#

Id lose BoM and Blightborne Infusion

oblique garnet
#

And your options are?

unkempt bramble
#

and gain Deafening Crash and IF

oblique garnet
#

yes

unkempt bramble
#

that would also take me to 3 deafening crash

#

Also +25 ilvls

oblique garnet
#

why do you have 3 deafening crashes

unkempt bramble
#

thunder clap dmg i guess and no better traits to choose

willow scarab
#

I would suggest changing some of your other DCs

#

Sucks to lose blightborn snd bom though

#

25ilvl is worth it

unkempt bramble
#

ye i like blightborn

#

Well to lose deafening i only gain traits like Bloodsport

willow scarab
#

I’d run 3 if I could

#

If you’re in a position where you’re using 420 Azerite then you can deal with using a BS trait

#

Full damage builds are for when you’re 450 not 430

unkempt bramble
#

im 440 😛

oblique garnet
#

still wouldnt run 420 azerites

willow scarab
#

I only use one crash for m+ and I’m 446

oblique garnet
#

^

unkempt bramble
#

I see

#

Thought id just go full dmg cause why not u know

willow scarab
#

I’m actually really enjoying full defensive play and doing bigger pulls this season to let dps carry with new essences

#

What level keys are you doing? It doesn’t really matter as much in low keys

unkempt bramble
#

like 14-15 till i can get a stable team

#

So nothing fancy

willow scarab
#

Do whatever you want then

#

But for high keys it’s really nice being a brick wall

#

It sucks to not do 300k burst on reaping but our dps got nerfed anyway so I build around utilising the dps as best I can because their gain will always be so much more dps than my dps build offers

unkempt bramble
#

So is still Bloodsport worth over a 2nd or 3rd DC

oblique garnet
#

yes

willow scarab
#

Yeah only use 1 dc this season

#

The extra defensive traits means a bigger pull and an overall faster key

unkempt bramble
#

I see

#

Well cheers guys

orchid token
#

your face is an overall faster key

#

Only 16 minutes after, quick wit

sand relic
#

whats max uptime u can have with tanking with angermanagement

#

with sheild block

oblique garnet
#

thats affected by multiple things

willow scarab
#

Have a look at logs on some warriors you like and check their uptime for a realistic answer

#

Wish you were up at 5am for the good discussions here @orchid token

sand relic
#

@oblique garnet I mean u can atleast keep it up 90+ percent right

#

some 1 is trying to tell me its not possible

oblique garnet
#

effective uptime eys

#

yes

novel temple

are people using the edict on magic damage and the urchin with the null barrier this week?

#

for m+?

stuck crown

That's what I was using

sick sentinel
#

On necrotic?

#

That's the worse possible choice you could make

#

Don't use any of those this week

novel temple
#

lol why?

#

does it affect the absorb amount?

sick sentinel
#

Yes

#

And the healing

novel temple
#

dks can drop necrotic cant they?

#

cause i saw a dk doing it not a prot war lol

sick sentinel
#

No

#

But dks kite

#

And this is the prot warrior channel, not the bdk one

graceful cobalt
#

hi should we take multiplikation enchant or Quick Navigation?

spice ferry
#

force multiplier

graceful cobalt
#

ok thx becouse i read on icy-veins quick navigation and here mutiple force

spice ferry
#

icy veins is generally based around being defensive, FM is better for DPS.

mint imp
#

naga hide would be better for defense than quck navigation though

sick sentinel
#

debatable

novel temple
#

@sick sentinel its cause you got them white claws doctor

graceful cobalt
#

one trinket question. i got Razans eye on 450 za qul trinket with damage reduce/trade to a party member 430 and mechagon trinket with the cards on 422 ( red heals me yellow 179 haste+59 versality wich combo i should take? ( the red with 1200 haste proc i was destroying

#

and is the red one only a drop from mechagon or can i make it myself by the ingi robot there

mental crag
#

not chains of suffering

sick sentinel
#

Use rezan's everywhere

mint imp
#

rezan for sure

graceful cobalt
#

and sec trinket?

mint imp
#

Honestly non of the others is good. You better farm gore block, vial or some raid boss trinket

graceful cobalt
#

or i have 430 the trinket from WM that gave me krit for 15 sec

willow scarab
#

I would use rezans and buy the cyclotronic blast red card for raid

#

The. Get a better second trinket for m+

#

Rezan and gore block is a good combo

mint imp
#

I would use rezan+gore block for M+ yea

#

gore block is your trinket from WM

willow scarab
#

Barnacle is good in dungeons with lots of yellow quality mobs to spread it

graceful cobalt
#

Gore-Crusted Butcher's Block that i have

willow scarab
#

Yes use it with rezan for m+

graceful cobalt
#

ok thx

mental crag
#

Do you guys usually open your M+ chest as prot or DPS?

oblique garnet
#

if you have 440+ shield and weapon open as dps

mental crag
#

430 shield + 430 Dream's

#

So I am a bit torn

sick sentinel
#

machimba's

#

sporepods

stoic pilot
#

Sporepods are nice if you pvp as arms at least

#

But yeah after suffering a 425 machimbas last season I’d have to say it’s pretty sketchy to loot as prot

willow scarab
#

why wouldn't you use cyclotronic/safeguard/badge + insignia for pvp?

#

I open it as prot until I have a 445 wep/shield because I'm hoping for a titanforge, after that I open it as arms hoping for a 440+ cut of death

oblique garnet
stoic pilot
#

Idk I’ve really enjoyed sporepods in pvp it does pretty insane healing

willow scarab
#

what rating are you playing at?

stoic pilot
#

Nothing high this season, but it’s even recommended by joefernandes

#

Only playing at 1800 though atm

oblique garnet
#

pvp is the only good use for sporepods

mental scarab
#

👀

strong forum
#

Just use 450+s urchin for pvp

#

Or is that nerfed

old falcon
#

What would be best for M+ in yalls opinions

#

between 400 Rezans eye, 400 Urchin, 450 Gore Crusted Block

mint imp

rezan+gore

@oblique garnet get fucked nerd

#

What do you think, about mythic plus, idk if i level up blacksmith or eng, but i'll peffer eng

spice ferry
#

Engi helm is solid

#

Bs items are relatively easy to replace

mental crag
#

another month of raiding heroic, because I forgot that engi helms need drops from AEP 😬

#

Is BoB any good as a trait?

hallow phoenix
#

Barrage of many bombs?

mint imp
#

gizmo

#

with vop essence there is big change to gizmo and avatar proc together

hallow phoenix
#

Plus you get to move 25% faster half the time

#

and speed is half the battle

mental crag
#

@hallow phoenix yes.

hallow phoenix
#

barrage is good for damage if the fight is stationary. otherwise gizmo is better. Ive heard good things about synaptic spark capacitor in m+, but have never used it.

#

overall barrage looks the coolest so i tend to use it...

#

and a word of note on absorbotron: it can pull mobs during shroud or invis skips

#

for raids id always use gizmo

mental crag
#

Thank you for that. I am torn between prot and fury in M+

#

I think prot might be more valuable as a whole and get me into higher keys faster than Fury

brittle owl
#

if you plan on pugging

#

go prot

#

100%

#

your biggest enemy is community autismo

#

if you have a stable group

#

play what you want tbh 🤷 figure out what the team needs more

mental crag
#

All pugging for me. No guild or group.

#

I think, I am gonna have to fix that though.

sick sentinel
#

Is it worth doing more than 1 deafening crash or am I better off justing picking something else?

marble cipher
#

Just 1 is enough

sick sentinel
#

What I thought. Had a friend tell me I should drop one of my BoM for DC 2x and wanted to make sure nothing changed

marble cipher
#

no, NEVER drop one of the BoM's 😄

#

(for M+ anyway, try getting 3x BoM)

mint imp
#

whats better eng helm or 3x BoM?

#

(For M+)

stark ruin
#

If same ilvl, I'd always go for 3 bom

#

With VoP you have avatar up all the time and the extra mastery is nice

brisk ferry
#

it's just ilvl > first DC > as many BoMs as you can get

#

goggles have DC so at least it takes care of that

#

also I believe they sim very high

sick sentinel
#

Gismo is a good trait

mint imp
#

yeah, looking for best dps option here

#

so eng helm and 2xBoM?

brisk ferry
#

for dps just sim

mint imp
#

ok

marble cipher
#

@mint imp I had to make a choice between 2xBoM and 1xBom + engi helm.
Engi helm was a 15ilvl upgrade, and the sims showed more dps as well, so sadly, I dropped to 1 BoM for now

#

Will be gambling chests from now on to recover another BoM there, while wearing the engi helm.

mint imp
#

I currently have 2xBoM + engi helm all 445ilvl. So i will try to get helm for residuum with BoM and sim with 3xBoM.

strong forum
#

I'm thinking bout using the mecha HM helmet over engi for m+

#

Cuz of BoM and IV

brisk ferry
#

I've seen some do that

#

I actually just upgraded the benthic helmet for the same thing Nome

strong forum
#

As I don't have any boms, I think the 645 mastery is better than gismo + having IV

mint imp
#

what mecha HM helmet you talk about?

#

can you link that?

brisk ferry
#

yeh that's fair, I've seen quite a few running the HM helmet

#

uhh sec see if I can find it

exotic spoke
#

I mean - that helmet is also 10k TR towards the 200k I need

#

Erm sorry; it’s not 10k - is whatever 430 is I can’t remember

strong forum

Mecha HM helmet has DC + BoM + op + IV

On 435 ilvl

@weary thorn i feel your pain. I've been pushing achieves and didn't realize R3 would need so many spare parts, so now I'm trying to get those all done

weary thorn

yea, I'll have to farm a few crates before next raid, but nothing crazy

mint imp
#

and you need to complete HM to get those goggles right?

weary thorn
#

funny thing is, its just for ashvane. As soon as we get to gorgonzola I'll be back on my brew

brisk ferry
#

yes hardmode Kobris

weary thorn
#

HM and 1/5 chance to get it

mint imp
#

yep, 445 eng helm is better overall no?

weary thorn
#

better than a 420 if you dont have the HM helm

brisk ferry
#

as much as I hate Mechagon, I'd use the goggles

mint imp
#

and 420HM helm is better than 445 engi helm?

exotic spoke
#

Mechagon isn’t that bad

brisk ferry
#

HM helm is 430

strong forum

I'd say the mecha HM helmet is only better in m+

If you don't have any boms

Engi would be better for raid

For M+, yeah, I'd use the Mecha HM helm, traits are just perfect, which probably makes up for the ilvl loss over the engi helm

#

No luck in getting it drop yet though

#

still have hardmode this lockout, but, slim chance that I'll be doing it tonight since I raid till midnight....

strong forum
#

2nd time I got it, last one I scrapped cuz I didn't think too much about it

#

So this one ima use

weary thorn
#

I got it on my monk, but not warrior rip. Its a decent windwalker helm though at least

onyx vessel
#

Whats best minor for m+ null? Maybe sphere from pvp on nec weeks

weary thorn
#

r3 null is pretty solid. Sphere is good if you need to kite. I swap between vop and lucid as well depending on the run

onyx vessel
#

Lucid it is

marble cipher
#

I always run VoP major - Lucid minor
But, I run 10-13 keys, so, it's not really that I need to minmax

onyx vessel
#

When i get 65 shit ill prob use sphere minor

#

Free haste and kite if i need

tacit smelt
#

Keep in mind that sphere and clap slow don't stack

onyx vessel
#

Makes sense i used it in pvp alot when i was grinding honor didnt seem like it did shit

sick sentinel
onyx vessel
#

Prob doesnt stack with other slows and overrides them?

sick sentinel
#

he ignored me after the last message

onyx vessel
#

What lvl

sick sentinel
#

80 something

#

that last message made me lmfao

onyx vessel
#

When i started playing i use to bubble to save myself

tacit smelt
#

My eyes, what have you done to me g dollar

ancient cosmos
#

get the poor man some misdirects so he can use shield block 😝

onyx vessel
#

Queuing as a tank

#

How do you fail at aggro at 80 ik theres a aggro issue if your overleveled

sick sentinel
#

i feel bad for him being born so stupid

#

that is all

onyx vessel
#

Thunderclap?????

#

I wonder if its on his bar

exotic spoke
#

It’s so cute

sick sentinel
#

no he needs to dump rage on revenge for aggro

tacit smelt
#

Eventually he/she will learn from their mistakes

exotic spoke
#

Or they won’t

ancient cosmos
#

or he will rage forever and change classes

exotic spoke
#

^^

sick sentinel
#

he had heirlooms so its obviously not a new player

modern brook
onyx vessel
#

I almost never do dump rage for revenge

#

Cuz it procs all day

tacit smelt
#

What tanking did they do in legion

ancient cosmos
#

speaking of aggro, i still get DHs pulling off me with beam on big packs. despite my best efforts/rotation. any pro strats to try to mitigate that?

exotic spoke
#

We talking eye beam or iris?

ancient cosmos
#

eye beam

sick sentinel
#

thunderclap harder

modern brook
#

mis direction and coordination are the easiest methods

weary thorn
#

you should have avatar up for big pulls, unless you arent really doing big pulls

sick sentinel
#

VoP major and you'll have avatar up for every pull

exotic spoke
#

Don’t avatar into Demo back to back. Weave a thunderclap in between the two abilities. Otherwise without more information it basically comes down to “TC More”

modern brook
#

@weary thorn the problem isnt big pulls, its the 2 pack after that they decide to eyebeam

tacit smelt
#

Don't speak about beams here man I get a full stack of dps popping Iris on skittish weeks

exotic spoke
#

Bull - I can’t fix stupid

modern brook
#

^ the tank mantra

sick sentinel
#

what about dps popping iris on small hp packs with bursting??

exotic spoke
#

Your dps are idiots then Quackr

weary thorn
#

then you let them die if they pull aggro like that

ancient cosmos
#

@sick sentinel lol

exotic spoke
#

Darwinism is a cruel master

modern brook
#

hoenstly i have no problem with that

#

I'd much rather low hp bursters die together for 8 stacks then extend over natural cleave for the fight

sick sentinel
#

i miss when in legion we could survive 11 bursting stacks no problem

ancient cosmos
#

@exotic spoke thanks, i do tend to avatar into demo w/o tclap in between. easy fix

weary thorn
#

yea no shit, If I see some mongo intentionally ripping aggro from me 0.5 seconds into a pack then they get to tank it for me

modern brook
#

i mean i think thats like the begining and end of the aggro discussion

#

like as long as you're actually pressing your buttons, aggro is a non-factor unless your monkeys decide to make it one

weary thorn
#

bingo

exotic spoke
#

Truth

tacit smelt
#

This week is going to be good week right

#

Auto correct

#

Void*

oblique garnet
#

Yes

#

Void week

marble cipher
#

Void week 🤔

#

Pardon my ignorance on what that "term" should mean

modern brook
#

Basically Beguiling has 3 variations

#

where each emissary is more prevelant

#

last week was enchanted

exotic spoke
#

There are three emissaries now. They rotate what the primary / most common emissary is

modern brook
#

this week is void

exotic spoke
#

Next week is cancer - fuck tides

modern brook
#

Tides def the worst tbh

marble cipher
#

I did not know that

#

I thought em's were totally random

#

(well, fixed for the week, but not on a rotation which one would be more prevelant)

#

if that makes sense 🤔

modern brook
#

I believe that the location of them is still random per week

#

just that there will be more voids this week

#

I'm not positive on that though, I've just been staring at MDT every teusday

red wedge
#

Teeming, Void, Quaking, Fortified - If MDT is correct, yes?

exotic spoke
#

I believe so - going off memory

red wedge
#

The location of emissary spawns is set.

modern brook
#

gross is it really ?

red wedge
#

I thought it was.

weary thorn
#

if MDT knows the upcoming week, has angrykeys been abandoned? I thought it was still random and thats why the mod is broken

red wedge
#

It was just different based on the week.

modern brook
#

the guy that made MDT got onto the tourney realm after method killed m azshara

#

from what i heard

#

so i think MDT is the current source

weary thorn
#

gotcha

red wedge
#

Like each of the three variants for the emissary types have their own set locations.

modern brook
#

I mean thats not wrong :^)

red wedge
#

I keep wording that ambiguously.. I need more coffee, but I'm pretty sure y'all understand what I'm trying to say. lol

modern brook
#

YEah

red wedge
#

haha

#

It's too early for me.. Only good thing so far is that I decided to work from home today. ;p

modern brook
#

I'm taking thurs-fri off

#

so my desire to work is at an ALL TIME LOW

red wedge
#

I have friends coming into town tonight through the 30th. I have off tomorrow through then. So, I'm pretty much in the same boat. haha

#

I'm ready for my cache of disappointments.. and then imma force some of my guildies to go through mecha with me so i can get my rank 3. :D

modern brook
#

I'm such a bad wow player

#

I've done hardmode 4 times already

#

But i havent activated the level 2 thing yet

#

so none of it matters

red wedge
#

hehe

weary thorn
#

I've not gone for r3 vop either bull

red wedge
#

If it makes ya feel better, bull, I dont even have Rank 1 Conflict and Strife :P

weary thorn
#

I do!...on my brew

modern brook
#

I was about to say "I dont really care about VoP" but then i remembered the discord im in 😬

#

My Warrior is almost at 49 neck 😎

red wedge
#

:D

modern brook
#

an uncomfortably large portion of my play group comes from this discord

#

so i dont really play prot anymore :^(

weary thorn
#

what you on now?

modern brook
#

I've been playing Rogue for the last 2 seasons

#

and im like pretending to level a rdruid behind it

#

pretty much just waiting for 2.5 cause holy shit is this patch alt unfreindly

weary thorn
#

I'd love to have a druid, but i only have time for two classes

red wedge
#

I'm waiting to see if my guild survives the WoW Classic Release, and Mythic Ashvane.

modern brook
#

I am just super unexcited for wow Classic tbh

red wedge
#

Same

modern brook
#

I have like none of the nostalgia

red wedge
#

A lot of my guild is all about it, though.

marble cipher
#

I did it all before, have no intentions of "actively" doing anything classic related this time around.

#

But yeah, we'll lose some guildies too, for a while 😄

onyx vessel
#

Prob lose my whole guild for a month no interest for me

red wedge
#

I'm fairly certain the ones in my guild are just dissatisfied with WoW, and they think Classic is gonna be better for some reason.

weary thorn
#

cant raid mythic, have to progress MC for a world first Ragnaros down.....because it totally didnt happen over a decade ago

red wedge
#

World First! For the... second time... woo?

onyx vessel
#

Prob gonna die to method 1st pull

weary thorn
#

if they farm the FR gear, sure

#

which they would

exotic spoke
#

Fuck doing vanilla all over again. I did it once. I don’t need to see old content again

onyx vessel
#

Roger isnt gonna be there

#

So prob not

weary thorn
#

No Roger? Cant beat easiest end-raid boss

onyx vessel
#

They lost crucible cuz roger wasnt there

weary thorn
#

Im gonna go out on a limb here and say that Rag is a slightly less intensive fight than CoS

onyx vessel
#

By alot

#

Gear check tho

red wedge
#

I mean. Rag had like what? 5 mechanics that involved "Oh. Dont stand there. 5yds to the right? You good."

exotic spoke
#

I’m going to go out there and say most of the fights are less intensive than the majority of fights in retail

onyx vessel
#

Like all classic bosses

exotic spoke
#

Late AQ they added some interesting stuff - and it continued in Naxx

marble cipher
#

Hogger though....

weary thorn
#

Naxx was good

#

I enjoyed AQ as well

lethal plaza
#

warcraftlogs down rn?

marble cipher
#

Was indeed

#

For a brief moment

exotic spoke
#

I hated Huhu. One guild, ironically the one i joined in BC and am in now, had a lock down on the green dragons. So, trying to do Huhu in Mauradon Nr gear was cancer

hasty nova
#

above all things wow is most fun when you are playing with people you like a lot doing content you all think is fun

#

personally I really enjoyed the battlegrounds back then.

#

and the leveling

#

and the raids

#

but like 2000 other ppl have said

#

i have already done that

#

and the grinding is WAY worse than the grinding is now

exotic spoke
#

I enjoyed what inplayed back then. I enjoyed the fuck out of it. It was an amazing game for the time and I take nothing away from it

hasty nova
#

so i'll just stick to the nice fancy graphics, large pool of playable classes with different specs, and engageing mythic raiding.

exotic spoke
#

But, zero interest in doing something I explored close to 100% of

What I didn’t do would take so much time I don’t even care about it. I hit rank 11 in the vanilla pvp grind. I cleared almost all of AQ and cleared Naxx. I don’t care about a boss I missed

willow scarab
#

I think the majority of classic players will be players who didn't play vanilla and people who have been off the game for years

hasty nova
#

oh wow you did nax in vanilla?

willow scarab
#

Most people I've spoken to that played vanilla aren't interested in classic

exotic spoke
#

World 39th

hasty nova
#

gosh that was a lot of work back then

willow scarab
#

I was rank 11 too? twins riki

#

what are the odds

hasty nova
#

highest i got was knight-captain on my rogue

exotic spoke
#

Twinsy!

hasty nova
#

not sure what rank that was

willow scarab
#

I recently merged my vanilla account to my main

exotic spoke
#

Commander Riki. Now Field Marshall Riki

willow scarab
#

so i got commander and master seargent achievments from vanilla

exotic spoke
#

From RBGs

#

Having Commander on my title list twice is funny 😃

strong forum
#

I'll just play vanilla cuz it gives you smth do to

willow scarab
#

grinding AP is something to do

exotic spoke
#

I mean sure but also ^^

strong forum
#

Yeah...

#

Totally

#

Grinding AP is a chore

hasty nova
#

haha grinding levels in vanilla around level 52

exotic spoke
#

And or carries or play another game (which while technically classic is I would want a step away from wow

strong forum
#

Fucking around in vanilla is atleast smth

hasty nova
#

is WAY harder than grinding ap to 65

#

but like i said, all this is subjective

exotic spoke
#

Last 3-4 levels for me was in deadwind pass as it wasn’t too populated on my server. Farming ogres

willow scarab
#

I think i'm just gonna play classic as a twink

#

like exchange bfa gold for classic gold and get a full +fire spell dmg set for a 39 mage twink

exotic spoke
#

I’ll screw around On it but if I hit level 40 I will be sooo shocked

strong forum
#

I have 0 plans to hit 60 in classic

exotic spoke

You’d have a hell of a conversion rate with someone you trust

I'll just fuck around with the boys

Spirits on the lake then Moonkins from 53 to 60, in Winterspring, still have PTSD

My evil twin has shown his face again

I think the place for classic for me is where hearthstone currently is

#

sometimes you just wanna play a different game for an hour or two

#

and that'll be classic

exotic spoke
#

He has. But how do we know he’s the evil one? What if you’re the evil one Nome

strong forum
#

Exactly

#

Fumei gets it

willow scarab

I agree with riki

exotic spoke

Yup and that’s how I’ll approach it

But I'll prolly nolife for 1 week cuz it's the 1st time this year I'll have 2 week vacation

Im the disgusting one at best, but not evil
