I would not go so far to say this is a "great" week for pushing.
But I think relative to the other season 3 weeks it is a "good" week for pushing
I believe that Bolstering and Explosive are more punishing on Fort weeks.
So small groups of trash should die super quick.
steady small group pulls with flawless boss kills will make for ez timers
well "ez" as in you will time it, but perhaps not with a "lot" of time left
this is not the first explosive
we had raging explosive tyrannical on the week of july 23
i'm not sure why everyone said two weeks ago was a bad push week
just watch bursting when kiting
and that's it
That's too long of a gap for my monkey brain nim
how heavily should i weigh a shield with a sockt vs one with out? ie current equipped 430 Shield with Socket Crit/Mastery vs 440 shield no socket Haste/crit
you shouldn't
ilvl > all on shields because you can't get block value anywhere else
kk
What's the magic number then @sick sentinel ?
33.8k
im at 31k with only the crit boots benthic
not sure if it worth all the effort
wait nevermind that not in raids
Do you sim with Null minor? Feels like cheating if you do, but I dunno 🤔
yeah I do, why is it cheating ?
Because it assumes it pops for dps every time. Which isn't usually the case in actuality.
i see. Well in actual raids its a decent chunk of my overall dps
I sim for 36.3k with null minor, 35k without.
I fan roll for a 445 this week and waht should it be boys and girls https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/character/us/sargeras/delithvian
why no cyclotronic ? its some absurd dps boost
Because it doesn't sim higher for me. I got better results now, 37.2k with null, 36k without.
445 coral with 455 inkpod
I still have a 430 weapon too, unfortunate. 😞
ah yeah, I have trouble enough getting prot gear, I didnt roll for dps gear lol

wait did you used to have a different name
No, mods changed my name for warr discord. I'll have my original name back someday 😞
has there been a change to our best Essences? ive been seeing lots of differnting opinions and uses amongst other Warriors so just trying to get imput. Ive been using VoP Major and Lucid dreams minor just making sure im on the same path
thats mean of them
and they still havent even made thyme yellow
i think for my birthday marok should make thyme yellow for a day
in december
It depends on the content aether and of its going for survivability or dps
Also - hi @junior ivy
mostly heroic RAid content is where im seeing the discrepancys
You’ll see people, like me, just going for parses. For my situation I’ve determined (after talking with my healers) that I can sacrifice survivability and go for dps
They like it (since the content is on farm) because I take a little more damage and helps them parse
hi riki
wow is calling to me
im recently single, bored, its raining out
its a wow day
but i hear theres long waits for classic
ok i get taht part but like im seeing people using Null Dynamo and Anima which is why im just confused at points
i guess to each there own play style just been kind of stumping me as of late why lots of the groups ive pugged into wouldnt use VoP
Some servers have longer waits than others. I know BfA doesn’t though 🙂
Null dynamo minor is great for dps - it’s actually amazing for dps
Anima is fun to use on large pulls in m+
im guessing it has to be rank 3 for the dps? cause i have rank 1 and am not seeing any dps increased possible
Rank 3 null does damage. Lower ranks don’t
got ya ok every one ive seen with it has been a rank 3 so that makes a bit more sense to me
Explodes for dmg = amount absorbed at end of duration or when it pops
kk somthing to worktowards then
It’s 2k dps gain IF you proc it on Cd
which would be more benifical dps then Lucid dreams given a perfect world
@junior ivy hi cat
@sick sentinel hi kaege
hi riki
I suppose that undulating tides aren't very good for prot
ive been using it. the shield isnt great but the dps boost is nice
hi kage
got a 455 trink from the chest!!!! it's Razdunk
awww
ty for the gold blizz
😮
best way to use razdunk? maybe macro it with Avatar? or just use it separately as a big AOE dps button..?
when u guys open weekly chest do u go fury loot spec to avoid shit trinks or no
Go prot to get wep and shield
ehhh is it worth it to risk getting lingering sporepods again
i mean mythic raid drops weapon and shield from first three bosses
435 weapon 440 shield with avoidance
Go fury
Otherwise you’re hoping for a warforge or a weapon. Both small chances. Any baseline shield is blah - several trinkets blah - 5 ilvls on a weapon blah versus a two hander being meh.
I’d go fury for a bit
yeah thats how i feel too
loot spec doesnt matter when buying random 445 azerite right
i wish intimidating presence did something for prot
why couldnt they just bake it into demo shout
funny enough, it's actually not the worst trait for what it realistically does
it's just like awkwardly tied to Intim Shout.. If it went to Demo it'd prob be really sick considering the amount of times we cast it imho
dogshit?
Not that bad though
gut
it sucks tho bc i had the 435 dark passenger chestplate with bastion and crash on it :/
as one of the tanks with higher armor values, that extra armor is kinda peanuts
and this sims like 300 more dps
RNG giveth and RNG taketh away
yeah got fucked on my chest too blizz just wants me to sit in a 16 k queue for classicv
well looks like im gonna be able to play tonight
but rip us tomorrow
at least its only a storm and not a hurricane 😄
Oh shit son
😦
so those are the trinkets i have atm and sim wants me to drop rezan for bindstone, is it because of the gem?
It’s because you can only sim dps as a tank.
We aren’t able to sim defensively
i know
Then it’s because it did more dps. The socket doesn’t hurt that
i mean i have also a 405 socket bracer and is telling me the 405 is better than a 435 i just got
Which is probably true for offense but probably, almost certainly, not true defensively
i mean i know this is an alt but shit lol
Sockets are worth a lot offensively in some item slots.
Defensively in some slots they aren’t worth much at all (example - shield where you should use the highest Ilvl shield)
You do you - but for an alt I wouldn’t worry much about dps in dungeons (I’m making an assumption)
Hi everyone, can you guys please help me picking a trinket combination? focusing on m+ for the most part, high keys. I have the following trinkets: 432 Cyclo, 430 Gore Block, 430 Rezan's with leech, 430 razor coral and 440 alch stone
What don You define as high keys?
between running 2 DC or 1 DC and Brace which combo is better for keys?
18-20
Bissanick do you need defensive or no?
Cyclos garbage for you then imo Nym. You can’t block while you’re using it and the damage it does is negligible now.
You’re probably going to have to change and tweak depending on the week but I’d start with gore and rezan
You may need a real defensive trinket - depends on the week and your healer
not really. must of what hits me hard in the keys im running is magic so figured brace wouldn't help. just wanted to make sure since more than 1 DC seems to be not the best from what ive seen
i have no essences and im about to hit neck
Alright Riki ill be running some testing, def not feeling great about cyclo bc of the block issue, thanks!
Double dc isn’t bad for damage. It’s very niche and you wouldn’t really want it in any other situation
I’d just forget you have that Nym - except when you’re out in the world doing shit
forgot to ask also is it worth giving up a Bastion for a 30 ilvl increase to azerite?
You go with the higher Ilvl bissanick
ty 🙂
going to buy a random 445 azerite piece rn...which slot do you recommend?
Which should I gamble to replace for M+? 435 Mecha helm/445 great unifier shoulders/445 arterial protection chest
that's an easy answer, you can probably figure it out yourself
I'd just go with the sim result tbh but I feel like the 435 should be better to get rid of.
Which weeks do you guys recommend using a defensive trinket for m+
you said 445 shoulders
I got a pretty sick edict
Yes, 445 shoulders.
why would you replace 435 shoulders then
I feel like it'd be better to replace the 435*
All good. I could've worded that better.
nah, i totally misunderstood
What’re this weeks affixes?
bolstering, explosive
Q Is Heavy Repurcussions really having as big or bigger impact then AM on the top end damage on the ST fights in the raid? been seeing this more lately
🤷 just sim it
and it sims lower but the top DPS tanks are using it 😛
well then they are retarded
but its possible it might sim higher for them
remember BFI buffs it kind of
I just havent checked lately if this was a new thing . Thought it was weird but new higher DPS parses are coming out on top with it
its no a "thing"
its 30% more damage to SS
just because someone does it doesn't mean its good
case in point: leech
Do enough dmg it could be useful 😮 lol
its not useful if it sims lower
there's no magic behind that decision
i mean, might as well go punish yeah?
Why you wanting me to go such shitty talents >.< 😛 lol
this is sad lvl 55 neck and only 1 essence oof LOL
I received a 440 Servant splitter from my chest today. I take it it's a bad weapon as a tank? would Replace a 430 Sharkbait's Fishhook.
Ok thanks
if you get a different 440 weapon though you can replace it
Whats the most balanced tanking spec to level as?
one i can tank yet still quest solo
@clear sapphire HR is the top simming talent for ~some~ players and it depends on what your other gear is like as well as things like fight duration. Always go with what your sim says unless you're researching a specific parse on a boss
basically whats in the icy veins guide @cloud onyx
meant for classic, realized this channel was for retail
in that case
you should level as arms/fury
and just def stance sunder spam for dungeons
don't pick prot talents until youre 60
but yes
that's out of topic for here :p
440 weapon or 430 paralytic barb with a socket
literally 10 lines up
you know i have been thinking about going heavy repercussions lately
since i use devastator for bosses
anyone ever play around with Deva and HR over Booming and AM
?
you were thinking about it
or you saw it on parses
cause 20 lines up there was a discussion about it
what a coincidence
lul let me just scroll up then
idk i guess i need to sim it i don't know any tanks that run it or have i seen anyone using it on top parses
I was just
i mean bottom line if it sims higher, its better
but like i said might as well sim punish as well
also with BFI
heres the thing though
with HR, avatar goes right back to around 1.5 min without vop minor
so that means BoM might be a bit worse
Y E E T
so it might be worth simming HR with idk 3x BFI 3x RF maybe?
whew thats a lot of really specfic sims. I wonder if the sims can be accurate for that level of detail
probably
they can
that's kind of the point
can just top gear sim with the talents/azerites
i guess the next question is, which is harder to play...
...Or rather would I...
be able to do the dmg the sim says I should XD
umm no
you can get close, with very good latency
but human error + latency will factor in heavily
along with most fights aren't Pure Patchwerk
well, sometiems i worry that sims make ppl do things when they could actually do better dps with a different build because of
human error and patchwork not being likely
@sullen valve no
trying to tank H orgozoa
is it best that i hit last stand or wall when i taunt him due to the spike of dmg?
are you starting?
Yeet
most ppl i know say last stand
thats not the line of thinking you should have regarding sims Gus
well, i did wall the first time and i got destroyed
you still have to block
I take less damage than the whole raid on that fight
if you're doing the first taunt, just make sure you have rage
then wall, block, taunt, slam
block again
and again
then LS
dance around the water
then block some more
use any spare rage on IP
theres nothing different on that fight in heroic, just do the correct blocking + ip usage
(removed magic because obviously not what i meant)
if it's progress for you, use the raid essence major, vision minor
I forget its name, never used it more than once
this is pathetic
alt life
sold out
Yeet
thyme u back
huh
on wow or no
no
still an indefinite hiatus have little to no plans on classic
hes been using Sco on apex obviously 🙂
lol
Y E E T
we are currently wiping on pashmar because of form ranks
sounds like a sunday night pug
i mean form ranks is an absolutely easy mechanic lol
i would be angry too
interesting
apparently inkpods were bugged
and were just hotfixed
@undone sun wdym, I thought we were gonna go recruit catfriend and roam classic as the three musketgnomes
👆
got my first leggo mythic parse, fam
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/xrab3CKD1cFYVnhG#fight=15&type=damage-done&source=8
@outer dew 🤣
@outer dew I'm hurt that im not included
can i be part of the gnomies
eww you're horde
tfmeng i was alliance in vanilla
smh
I'll roam around as a level 20 gnome sure
Who wouldnt
hrmm - either 3K people just logged off or something shit the bed suddenly
i only have 4 more hours till storms hits
gets into queue
nvm fuck this
ptsd of server first rushes on vanilla
we had to have people log us before we got home
Hello
Hes going to murder me one day
I am Riki's druid
The elusive rikidruid
Theres ques to classic?
Yes
lol
I've come by a few times to ask questions to fix him, but I don't come around very often anymore
ah you mean jettom's ui follower
you misspelled male
MALE NIGHTBORNE*
with questionable ui decisions
and WAs of anime characters
lets not summon him though
hey now, my ui is fully functional.
dont scare him away
chip
we need an intervention for that viewport
i saw a few warriors running 3x deafening crash in mdi how much of a dps gain is it and how much of a survivability loss would it be?
yea but how much survivability is 3x bastion of might
hard to say
2k mastery against phys its alot
its quite a bit since you gain a bit of crit block chance
but yeah 3 BoM 1 DC is our standard build
you get more dps from other traits
fact is
DC would be better if we were still pulling huge
but reaping is no longer the seasonal
so yes late is correct
ok so its a very niche mdi thing
even if you were pulling huge dc wouldnt be better
we're talking about DC not BoM though
Hmm
just to be clear cause you seem to be confusing both of them
yes i am talking about replacing 3 bom for 3dc
hell no
im talking about stacking dc vs 1 dc and stacking 2 other traits
i asked because thats what most warriors seemed to be running in mdi
uhhh?
they have 3x BoM
They are running 3bom and 3 dc.
oh
Other traits are better for DPS in aoe
i guess im just blind
3 bom 1dc for sure
Then pick two
What even does arcane dmg
oh i thought you meant arcane heart was good
Hell no
Spell reflect her ass
the new leech one is pretty fucking garbo too
Which one is that
i forget the name
Hey there, im a new prot tank but im tanking M orog, can anyone suggest some talents for more survivability?
well, we made it to heroic queen, but best we got was 19%
still learning this crap, really confusing to me
we do orgazoa with the standard talents
nothing else will give you anything more
just proper play, that's it
Is it worth sacrificing my only BoM trait (radiance helm) for an additional OP (engi helm, brings me to 2 total)?
For raiding*
@dusky kettle it's mostly just making sure you have a defensive CD (or a healer has one) for when you first take aggro and get trucked. I like to do it as tanking in the beginning, swapping when the adds show, rinse & repeat until the boss is dead.
blood rite or blood sport?
I'd use blood rite tbh.
@shadow tapir Alright gotcha i'll give it a go
blood rite big haste
okok
so peep this
3 azerite with BOM
chest has either BOM or LTTE
should i go with 3 BOM or 2 BIM and one LTTE
I'd stay with 3 BoM's over LTTE.
Bloodrite is huge this week
it does
@lavish hornet its only for parsing high damage however, it does nothing for you defensively so use with caution
The same as every week
in m+ you change the essenzenes
You don't change essences based on week
Except neucrotic where you dont use null barrier
I'm wondering why Mchimba's Ritual Bandages trinket is not on the Icy Veins BiS list for Prot Wars.
much better options for comparable ilevels
^
I'm struggling to understand why that is, sorry for being stupid, maybe I'm missing something.
Having an on demand IP boost seems like a no-brainer to me.
Well, I guess I should know better than to argue with Icy Veins... I just wish I could see it.
Raid trinkets ar much better for instance
@solemn kelp It's not in the bis list because it's complete garbage
for raid, which essence do you use ? Vision / lucid dream and ?
p sure you want null minor for dps as your second minor slot
What boss can't blow it up consistently hmm
Shiv does
Behemoth does
Ashvane does
Zaqul does
Aszhara does
Idk about the rest
Does the radiance aoe line up?
What's orgo's aoe
🤔 idk dat tbh
it's really good for p1, think you pop it on cd there
p2 may be a bit sketchy
P2 is the minority of the fight anyway
ya true
on sparks, depending on tank comp on zealous erruption, it'll pop on every edict except the heal immune one
Not that bad
i mean
git gud at fury kek
clearly prot kaege > fury kaege
you're just gimping your raid
can pump as tank doe
also ep is considerably less worse than othet tiers tbh from a tanking perspective
But can you ** C A R N A G E **
you can S L A M
It pops on cd on court aswell
and C L A P
Pog late
Theres not really any bosses in ep where it doesnt pop on cd
But des said that simming with it is cheating lmao
But vers and crit
Also, you need to sim your gear to know what to bring to ep heroic runs :)))
Cof major, null minor and prolly cns/sphere minor
Maybe vop major can work aswell
Havent tested out anything in a while
if I have already done EP for the week in hopes of getting raid trinkets. are the AD or WM trinkets worth grinding m+ for?
they're good yes
CoF + vop and sphere simmed higher than with null?🤔
Shdiaosl
ye i find that hard to believe that they outsimmed
vop minor depends on fight tbh
fight length that is
can you squeeze 1-2 extra avatars? if not, then use another one
I like not having to use my essence so i use vop major for everything
finally 445 shield 
Gratz.
how can i show you guys my azerite gear ? not s ure what combo to go with
Do /simc in game and paste it to
www.raidbots.com/simbot/topgear
Helm i'd keep the same - only swap Blast for Unstable Flames..so DC->BoM->Unstable Flames->Resounding.
Shoulders:Iron Fortress->Callous->Unstable Flames->IV
Chest i'd leave as it is.
The only gain you'd get is a 2nd BoM - the other traits are pretty meh.
ok thanks
hi food haste or versa? if i don´t have the new stat food
Haste.
Guys, Vision of Demise from Za'qul any good?
Depends on what your other options are.
It's a fairly easy to get high base ilvl trinket on a fairly short CD that provides a burst of haste.
In m+ it takes a bit more cordination to actually get the most haste out of it in beneficial situation so you gotta watch for that.
what would you guys reroll? got raid helm, lockjaw shoulders and harpooners plate cuirass
waters
For m+ the chest probably.
Shoulders has BoM/IF
Head has BoM/DC
For ST ..shoulders probably.
If they are all the same ilvl ofc.
Quick question - Warhelm of Dread Waters or Engineering one ? Which would be better for M+ and which for ST ? With Dread Waters I would end up having 3xBom, 2xDC(or 1 DC 1 CR), 1xBfI
@analog swift did you get my response to your question
Hahahaha yeah I was doing ashvane
Ok, just wanted to make sure.
Yes - verbal abuse helps too
They’re usually pretty good about it in our earlier m+ runs. But as we do more and more in a day sometimes they miss them
And missing the call on shrine is like 400-500k damage on boss three per reflect
Had one run where they kicked 5 of them on boss three. I was super sad about lost damage
@prime vine I've read (here, a few weeks back) that for M+, you could even try going for the lower ilvl hardmode operation:mechagon helmet. Don't know the traits by heart from the helms you posted, but, it's an option to keep the 445's purely for raids and run M+ with the hardmode helm (which would be 430 ilvl, but apparently worth the drop)
is anyone 64 neck and has this weeks reset of AK? What is 64 => 65 ap amount?
Warhelm of dread waters (it’s from radiance yeah?) is what I use for both m+ and raid
I only have one 445 helm to be fair - but it’s a good one defensively
You’re probably looking at about 56k -60k or so cap. That’s based off what I remember from last week and applying the AK
@marble cipher I need to check that 430 from hardmode Mecha, thanks for suggestion
Do you have a 445 helmet azverth?
@exotic spoke ye that's from Radiance, just got it at 445 ilvl yesterday and started thinking... Engi is also 445
I don’t know the engi traits and I would strongly advise against dropping 15 ilvls for a helm
Personally, I’m happy with my helm for both raid and m+ pushing right now (pushing 18-19s just so you have a frame of reference). It’s a solid option and there are more, better role / goal specific pieces out there that I need
Mechagon helmet has OP in addition to DS and BoM, dunno if 430 with the same traits and OP > 445 with Heed my Call/Unstable Falmes , I think I will use Riki experience and go with Dread Waters as it is already available to me 🙂
Yeah, I know mechagon has those. Wouldn’t drop 15 ilvls for it. Engi helm though - I’m not an engineer. Could be better situationally
Simulation says it's bit better DPS-wise, I have both, gonna swap them and test them 🙂 Gonna see which one suits me better.
That’s a good way to find out. If you have a consistent group - for raids / mythic plus - have an ongoing conversation with your healer(s) and figure out what you can do
Maybe they are falling asleep and you can get more dps / bigger pulls
Maybe you’re taking too much damage and you need to go more defensive.
Especially in m+ there isn’t a correct path to success. Each week I have to kind of start over and get a good baseline of what I can give up to get bigger pulls or more dps
I'm just starting my protection career if I may say so, so there a lot I need to find out by myself, but going to focus more on defensive aspect and once I get some experience I might be willing to aim for more damage focused gear
@lethal plaza I’m not on right now to double check but I’m fairly certain it was around 64k or so for 64 to 65 for me
I need help on trinkets. I have a 430 urchin and my over all item level is 438. Just doing mythic plus and heroic EP. what would you focus on getting as my second trinket. Right now I use the pocket size blast
Or maybe it was closer to 70k. My memory isn’t great.
Azverth that’s a good way to approach things. In m+ you have two options for increasing dps - bigger pulls or more offensive. In a vacuum both work. So figure out what’s good for you and go with it
Thanks Raw
Thanks Riki, I'll keep that in mind
@lucid dew you should replace cyclo for m+. If you want a dps trinket things like butchers block
yea i was thinking I needed something else for mythic pluz
its not very good there
i have been trying to get the rezzens gleaming eye but no luck
That’s a good option too. Animated blood, knot of ancient fury or whatever.
yea i have had a hard time getting a trink to drop
Go fury in certain dungeons (like UR) and your cache to reduce the chance of getting a shit trinket or potentially something you don’t need
This is assuming you have a solid one hander / shield
i have 430 shield and sword
yea i have moved to going fury
at least until i get my trinket and another weapon for fury
cut of death ha
will 8.2.5 make any gear obsolete?
reset wont come until 8.3 right
Hooray
😦 that’s no bueno
guys just rolled servant splitter 440 with socket out of the chest its still better than my 430 without socket weapon right?
cuz servant splitter has no secondarys
doesnt matter
doesn't matter
kk thx!
servant splitter is actually really good for ST damage
for warriors i think it's second best aftet thr zaqul wep
Y E E T
any WA u guys recommend? are ipse ones a good starter ones or you guys have something different? ty
Is the one I suggest.
ty
@lusty grotto how you doing down there?
all good
Dorian?
yeah
Glad it’s a tropical storm for you. Looks like by Florida it’ll be cat 3 according to some predictions
yup looks like it will intensify as soon as it leaves landfall
fuck no
But... but ... Classic
vanilla > classic :p
But classic is vanilla right? That’s what the whole #nochanges thing was all about
negative, vanilla happened 13 years ago
Yea I'm happy for every1 having fun but there's like 0 desire for me
^^
Killed azshara, time for longass break from wow
I want it to succeed. It is healthy for the game I enjoy to have a large income so they can continue to support my desires
Though, I’d be happy if I could copy my original character post Naxx so I could just bullshit and pvp cause globalling people would be fun
Also, Grats Sense!
Yee
gz gz!
Fair - each their own. Personally liking beguiling
Yeah i'm loving the M+ scene
oh hey riki, this week
great push week so far from me
if u get a group that can handle explosives properly
we been killing pushes
i was worried about it yesterday before i tryed a few
just small pulls, drop combat, pull instantly
Looks like the windy party started
Yup. I like explosive weeks. Usually it’s an issue of balancing pull size versus explosive volume. Here not so much. You just do 1-2 packs at a time and go
yup exsactly my thoughts riki
but with bolsetering
it kinda picks it for you
so u deal with both affixes with the same strategy
which makes it basically like one affix
small quick pulls. hard bosses
bam
we did mother loade 15 with like 8min remaining
Aite riki
and we two chested tos 13
Hi tofu
Was gonna do a quick key with nimchy before the storm hits but I guess I won't have time lmao
I’m like level 5 on a server so obv you should roll on my server
call it a... STORM WALL
Y i k e r s
aka 8/9M
I know right? No - human just like I was in vanilla
Sorry to disappoint. But someone needs to chaperone
Vanilla Human master race sry tofu
🤝 riki
We'll have RP value
Obviously it’s 5 gnome warriors who all charge auto swing MS a target at the same time
Exactly
We hide in bushes
And pop out
Or imagine 5 NE warriors just smelling
Smelding
And then bam
Charge and smack
Lmao smeld in vanilla though
It’s ok - I’m just a tall gnome
Yikes
Welp time to play switch and 3ds rip power
Lol
Modern solutions for modern problems
But tofu - who are the other two people. You me catfriend and?
He doesn’t want to
Gnomergon calls for aid, will nimchip answer?
Me.
I’m down with mwahi joining us
Fuck
5 gnome warriors on classic ganking people lol

Think about the roleplay value
We gonna be gnome bandits outcastes because we no big brain intellect class
And 5 charges -> auto swing -> ms on a target
Forced out of gnomergon to make a living
Real sad times
Now we out here camping people to hide the pain
And boys
Is the play to buy hotdogs?
You down mwahi?
@junior ivy you down for this?
She’s afk I think
Yeah - it’s the same sub
I mean
Appeal of classic is people doing content together
And group hunting is a pain
If we actual get 5 man premade, dont mind resubbing
Hey guys sorry to be asking this question here but on the off chance of wanting to play warrior on wow classic which server would you recommend for raiding,
Alliance ofc
👀
Are we gonna terrorize the horde on classic as a 5 man gnome gank squad
Ill be on Sekram alliance side
but there's a 0% chance i'll be a gnome over a dorf, but we can RP our way through that.
dwarf with gigantism
lol
I believe in you nim - don’t do anything stupid
pls i survived a cat 4
:p
a cat 4 that was almost classified as a cat 5 which has never happened
i kinda sleep through all of them
since there's nothing to do :p
actually maria was a cat 5
same as andrew
175 mph winds
but it could have been a cat 6
:p
What about a catfriend?
Is reckless fury actually usable as prof? I keep seeing it pop up on logs for damage
Prot*
ST damage only
fuck i forgot how trash alliance is on retail
on retail
i mean alliance is the superior faction for classic
hey, is there any info on the usability of Bloodthirsty Urchin trinket? :x trying to decide my lootspec for her tonight
@hasty nova what trinkets have you been rocking in M+ these days?
Nim - so toxic about alliance 🙂
Xirek, I’m going to guess - assuming he’s like me - it changes week to week.
Probably a mix of one defensive (urchin or edicts if he has them) and an offensive.
alchemy+vial for me, I'm running 18-19s atm with that setup, it is not restricting or anything, but I imagine my hp bar will be smoother with urchin if I get it:p
@undone sun 👋
Need a tip [Harpooner's Plate Cuirass] or [Chestguard of the Deep Denizen] ?
Harpooner's Plate Cuirass with RF for st damage, Chestguard of the Deep Denizen for defense imo
@lethal plaza thanks buddy
which zandalari boon as prot? 🙂
I think those dirty horde go gonk gang or something silly like that
paku or bob is prob "best" (although kimbul got buffed, it still is lame when I tested it last week). Neither are super impactful so up to you ultimately. I think Gonk isn't exactly the worst option to be honest. 🐢
I was wrong /shrug
But again - dirty horde
The only reason I'm not HM Tauren is because I cba to grind that rep
How good is reckless flurry for Prot? Is it worth taking ever?
It’s a single target dps build that sacrifices survivability

Hey bois. We killed Ashvane, finally, but I have a question. My co-tank essence deals wayyy more damage than mine even tho I hit more times.
Any idea why ?
maybe hes using it when her armor is down?
oh you should have said so first
He’s probably activating it on cooldown while you aren’t
I can’t check right now - finishing up at work
He has 18 hit and me 22
But his average hits are twice mine x)
Do you know what it is ?
Thanks 🙂
Ok it's the crit on heals and absorb
Seems a bit broken.
Well thanks and good night !
@vocal nimbus
celestial fortune
@outer dew catfriend has foresaken us
👀
Out of anyone I would think catfriend would be the betrayer
Wouldn't
Pepehands
Dream dead
Hi catfriend!
We want to know if you’re interested in forming a group of 5 gnome warriors in classic
Forsaken us - cause she didn’t respond yet
Reading is fundamental
I know she’s down.... I just want to make sure she is before we start searching tofu
I see, I see
The core figure in this operation
She's no responding though
So beeeetrayed
She’s obviously very busy
@junior ivy why have you forsaken us?
I need some trinket advice, can't decide what's the best to use between:
455 Jes' Howler w/ socket
430 Bloodthirsty Urchin
420 Pocket-Sized Computation Device w/ 425 Subroutine: Overlock & 415 Yellow with 171 haste/57 vers
Also have another yellow punchcard with 174 haste/58 crit I could put in it that would raise item level (not sure if worth to lose the verse)
Ok, so Catfriend + Tofu . Who are the other two in our group
and what server should we play on
No thoughts on trinkets?
what do you primarily do? raids or keys?
I go between both
no, im talking about generally
Okay fair enough, I also meant between the 3 trinkets
you said you had a punch card
there's no reason why you shouldn't replace yours if haste/crit is higher ilvl
more stats > specific stats
first 2 are good
depends on how much ilvl computation gains with the new punch card
Yeah it just goes to 422
Okay, yeah icy-veins was saying pocket was better than 445 trinks because of haste proc
got it
that makes sense
Should i go for urchins or edicts
They're both good
So Devastator + Reckless Flurry... a thing?
I'm at the point in our heroic raids that the healers aren't having to heal me much so it was suggested I swing a little bit towards dps output.
Just trying to piece together the best way to do it.
Well, play around with it. Also play around with your essences - not sure what you're using but CoF + Null r3 are a good increase as well.
@shadow tapir I have a log a bit up the talk (not far) whdre you can see that 3*RF makes more than 8% of my DPS and Devastator around 5% on Mythic Ashvane. So yeah it works.
And it's lovely. One less button to press \o/
Only issue is that it's really bad in MM+ so you either have to have another set of items or reforge if you wanna be opti.
Anyone have the string to edit the APL to correctly use coral with inkpod/cyclo?
🤔
Its currently useing it with avatar if there are more than 5 stacks on the boss.
It's lining it up with Avatar if there are more than 7 stacks on the boss and avatar is about to come up or is already up so you pair them together.
Why would you want to use Coral outside of Avatar?
Ahh didnt realize it couldnt be paired with Cyclo
Its 20
👌
So pair with avatar and probably delay a bit and save stacks for inkpod later in the fight
You generally wanna Cyclo outside of Avatar on CD tho.
Yeah I generally avatar after Cyclo on pull
use cyclo on pull
avatar after
such a short cast time there's no reason to use it 20 seconds into the fight
unless you have another on use trinket
unless your kill timer is in the 2n:20-2(n+1) min range
then it doesn't matter
Ofc pre-pull.
2s pot->Cyclo - it'll hit at 0 and then you charge+avatar and do w/e.
how important are sockets for tanking m+? if i have 430socket vs 445?
On a armor piece or a ring?
Either way in your case take the ilvl.
Hey guys, i have a problem on Radiance in mythic, when we go in p2, with adds, i'm struggling to stay alive, what could i do wrong ?
The adds are purely magic damage - so Shield Block won't help you there.
You can rotate your defensives like Demo Shout->SR->Shield Wall->Last Stand.
Also remember to ask for externals but don't overlap them.
You can stun the adds as well so be sure to do that.
oooh, even their auto attacks? ??
Yes.
Yeah i'm doing all of that, but my healers are struggling when it come to keeping me alive for a long time on them
OOOOOOH
ok
i understand now
xD
Ty @ionic fern
Np, hope you kill it. : )
Well, we already killed it xD
Oh.
But idk, yesterday
we were wyping on that
xD
Other times it was perfect and now i'm a fcking paper
How do you know that their auto attack are magic ?
logs indicate the type of damage from a source
Thyme with his SS collection.
👌
blue name = magic ?
Orgozoa you mean i take it?
You should have stacks of the boss for soaking, which means you'll take a lot less damage.
If you do need to soak an extra puddle/wave when stacks have dropped, but you can't switch boss yet for whatever reason, I guess an external will help, or Shield Wall
I'm gonna be an add tank machine on Orgozoa.
Can't wait to be bored to death doing nothing.
That's a lot more interesting than tanking the boss, believe me.
I feel like this boss is a pain as a tank anyway. Coming from Ashvane's intense fight mechanic wise, it's gonna be weird.
It's pretty straight forward jeah.
add tank machine?
That's actually the tank that doesn't soak anything 😄
(if three tanking)
Exactly.
I'm just gonna tank and max dps.
Gotta farm a real trinket I guess, cyclo on this one is not gonna do the trick.
You got Everchill?
Nope.
😦
We actually made a mythic Jaina re-kill just in the hopes of our fury warr getting it.
😂
I bet ! It's actually not a bad call. Just we didn't kill her in Mythic at all yet :')
