Good times
can you get the quest for bote and sphere again?
@remote vale No, once you get one of the pvp essences from the quest you can buy the off spec ones for marks of honor
ah, how many are we talkin
I don’t know how much rank 1 is but rank 2 is something like 25 I think
Out of curiosity how difficult is it to win a pvp island and epic battleground
if horde, pvp island is easy
Both are relatively easy
Good
Epic BG is a bit more luck based
Gotta work on them tonight
If you get a whole lot of morons in your big you’re screwed
anyone know what 50k honor from normal bg's would take in terms of hours
oh its 15k
nvm
CnS can kiss my ass, why did they put in in the one part of the game that I absolutely dispise
i also hate it but 1k rating is fine imo
slowly getting rank 3 from just doing daily invasion wq's :s
I've done 20 games so far, I'm at 500 ish rating
boy what a week to pick up learning prot lol.
i have a new love & appreciation for resto druids i never had as a dps
i mean, at least its not fortified + raging? :)
you riight
@warm plinth Explovies you mean chain heal?
For you maybe; didn't work out that well for the rest of your team!
You can look at damage the mob/boss did to itself on logs
Maybe if you look at Enemy Damage Taken? I never checked
Enemy damage taken from source
The source being whatever is reflecting
I'm like 25%sure thatsnwhat it's called in details
I'm not sure you can. Enemy Damage Taken doesn't show anything but what I cast on them. And I can't find anything that lets me choose the source
Damage taken by spell maybe 🤷
Yeah that was my thought but that only shows damage I took by a spell
Pretty sure it's just Damage Taken, but select 'Everything' instead of 'Standard' from the settings menu (gear icon). This will let you see enemy damage taken breakdown.
I had to find a mob to spell reflect, but yeah that's how you find out. It doesn't show you "per reflect," just to the total it did to itself. So just divide that total number by your reflect casts and you can find the per reflect dmg amount if you wanted to.

Don't give mods any nickname ideas 👀
lol
hello ! i have made a mess on my warrior i just leveled up engi because i thought it had BoM is there any value to that headpiece or to the profession or should i abandon it alltogether ? and also what would you say would be the best profs for tanking (raids)
Oh, I guess I should tag the person that wanted to know. @novel temple
honestly
if the second row was better i would consider it more
but i dont really see any potential in those trais
traits
even if i keep the thing what should i go for 2nd prof
jewl ? bs ?
i cnt decide on wat trinket to use i have many choices and cnt seem to make my mind up =/
Are you heroic or mythic raiding or doing m+ @undone tinsel ?
If you’re planning to raid mythic I’d suggest not bs, because you have access to the same slots from first 3. Jc is apparently expensive though (not done it myself) Alch is handy for double flask duration
heroic trying to move to mythic
Wel yeh, first 3 is relatively easy, and drops 445 gear in the same slots. Something to take into consideration
You really want to spend 600k+ on a ring?🤔
well is the trinket really worth it from alch ?
also what 2nd row power would you get on engi helm ?
gizmo
Alchemy trinket is good
Essentially turns your healing pots into a LoH
The proc itself isnt bad either
and saves money on consumables i guess
Whew!
Ain't raided since we killed few weeks ago
Next reset we just doin 7/8 and bod for mount
Then full clears
People binging classic and shit, good time for a break
Yeah
After we killed azhara i havent seen more than 7 people online at the guild xd
Same
@sick sentinel i have sphere rank 1 😃
No
I'm not sure if my 1800 haste is too much
Also I've been having fun
@terse dragon do you sacrifice ilvl for hsste
Because if you just happened to stumble upon 1800 haste, good
That's not a problem
I sacrifice ilevel for @outer dew
Cute
thanks babe
tbh
i kidna wanna play fury warrior again
but the work to level essence
lmao
I leveled most of the way as fury on my mag’har. It’s pretty fun
come do bgs with me
how you like fury in keys for this affix?
i pinged you and you never
responded
toxic af
Fury is pumping
Id say honestly fury has highest damage out of all the dps
Essences are the only annoying part about alts
It just happens to be a really annoying part
what essences does fury need anyway?
just for keys
i probably won't raid as fury
maybe just no raid
big brain
i mean
i can probably time a +10 from BDA gear
with some of the boys
but it's more of is it worth the time investmant for me
My guild can even do a 9 in time
Feral druud doing 6k dps on a boss

Me doing 9k as prot
🤔
I had a guardian druid doing 4k dps in a +10 😦
Dude wasnt pressing buttons
How does the man hold threat
He didnt
Thats pretty low
still pretty low
Teach me late
@sick sentinel No I don't
But with quick nav it just seems so overkill
You don't use quick nav
Force
But I've heard haste is just so good for us
You use force mutliplier
Naga is useless
I'll pick up force and see how I like it
@onyx vessel Idk how to tell you to improve on your dps if i have no logs or anything to base it on
press 123 harder 🤷
thanks @potent anvil Mr. Smartywind
Smartywind is pretty helpful sometimes
i just use my cheeks to press clap
Are you dummy thicc? Or do you mean the other cheeks
rank 3 org, using devastator, no rank 65 neck nor rank 3 essences
next week I'll have pure rank 3 essences, 65 neck and all of that
incoming rank 1
I"m on boss Kappa
I’m not sure if cyclo works properly with threat. Feels weird to burst for 90k+ ST to have someone pull off of me during/at the end of the channel. Could be wrong tho....
Might be some stealth nerfs it kept happening last reset where cyclo wasnt generating any threat
Nah it's for queens
I'm on the witch
so nobody is actually bursting on it that much
There's a leveling guide on icy-veins. I wouldn't worry about stats for now; in any case, item level is better than specific stats so just go for the highest gear and you'll be fine.
Only gear that really matters while leveling is heirlooms for the xp boost
Yo anyone got any tips heading into this? Highest ML I'm about to do so far
Sorry is this not for classic?
No it's not. #vanilla-discussion
They have a classic-specific Warrior discord too I think
It's in the pins in that channel I linked I believe
they left 🤔
They said "fuck these retail guys"
@oblique garnet sorry i dont log m+ ill try and hit 123
can you block the attacks from the last boss in motherlode
no
hey warriors are really tanky im only 428 and i barely need heals compared to my 438 druid he needs more heals
your druid should have a higher HPS too
does anyone have a good addon for tracking your mouse cursor? i seem to lose mine during heavy aoe packs
I’m just going to say it.... 3:30 am should not be a time where people are awake
Well timezones exist and someone like me works nightshift also exists
I mean - fair. I’ll rephrase
Being up at 3:30 am because of you tube rabbit holes is the devil Bobby Bouche
Sup babe
@lusty grotto hows ClassicChip doing
Tbh, I'm debating if I stick with hpal or yolo fury warrior
And I'm sad because I'm at 6k gold
Buy a token 🤔
@sand egret you’re still up too?
Like, I dont have the gold or drive to gear and maintain two toons
But I did that with 6 rooms last tiet
😂
Just pick one and only one
Yeah fuck that
I do a 10 every week
Would be approx enough to get 415 azerite in 2 weeks
So I did 17 every week on 6 toons min
😂
I mean, doing 17s wasnt hard
And that was last tier
Get a 440 get’ikku obv
Can’t get 455
Maxes out at 450
Fine
Holy is something I'd like if I didn't have to pug
Got one in my weekly chest
Fury would be enjoyable if I did
450 socketed with avoidance 👀
Because dying to ground effects vs one shot
Is two different stories
Btw riki why are you up?
I'm pst so it's not bad
YouTube rabbit hole
You watch about those lemon stealing whores?
Oof
Trust me
Im at work so thats why im up
It’s almost 4 am
Perfect time to do ao
Work till 630am like me
how do you do temple this week without severely over c apping % ?
You death skip or you don’t imo
Death run or rogue it
Void week
Void 
lol funny PG porn you gotta watch this. no copywright intended. this is originally from spike.com. thank you for watching.
I fuckin hate void
Shroud last hallway, death run some others and you’re golden
Safe For Work! FUCK THOSE LEMON STEALING WHORES!
Imagine not having access to the best m+ racials
Mechanic targeting me?
Meld
Skip? Mels
I’m still laughing over being told I should stick to heroic raids since I only play / want to play prot
Things targeting other players you want to cancel:
Meld
Tbh
Meld is also a viable option for necrotic tofu
50 necrotic stacks? Meld
I know
I use to do that
😂 😂 😂
I'd meld, 2x rogues vanished and 1x DH would meld
Did you see what I posted yesterday about “sticking to heroic raid”? Tofu
Like. I said
People are bad
Club Camel brings hoofhearted to prog
Imagine whining when a feral druid is outperforming you
😂
Lol
The people who need to stick to heroic raids
Something. Something - 39th naxx 40 clear. World wide
I’m good not going back to that
Are the ones that can only parse gray for every class
Because they're doing mechanics
Had a guy tell me he couldn't parse because he did mechanical
😂 😂
Bitchass, I couldn't parse well because you had more open globals than swiss cheese
Lol
When ashvane dies... my parse average tofu... it’s going to go way down I’m sure
Lates
my ashvane
hurts me
rl doesn't want to do 2 phase strat
even with 5% nerf
I don't have rank 65
don't have rank 3 VoP
only have 430 trinkets :(
Don't have null barrier either
we don't two phase blackwater either lol :(
sounds like you're not about that damage life
I mean most people use equip with use
It's just yuck
because I use to main lock
you don't really use two on use
or you didn't before
Mages use double on-use
that's mage
what other class does
Look
Coral+cyclo is not the rule
It's the exception
You can use them both effectively as long as you use don't lose cyclo casts
How would I effectively use coral then
Hi guys, just wanted to ask - is 13k dps overall for the whole m+ run too little for a 435 prot?
would you mind checking my log? 🙂
post
You probably arent thunder clapping on cd and not using avatar / demoralizing on cd also
Low thunderclap damage
Thanks 🙂 so thunder has priority over everything right 😄
@sick sentinel look how the sim uses it
how
html report
yes yes I know
but how
Bruh wtf is your gear
Like 7 sockets
I have 430 dreams end with socket too, maybe I should use that for parsing instead of 445 from 1st boss... Hmm
is DE like mega BiS?
It's the best weapon for raiding, but it's so late into the tier it's very hard to get
On an actually useful ilvl
@strong forum
my dungeon gear is better
430 with socket on st only beats the 445 by 0.5/0.6%
that's with not target switching
the moment you stack two mobs together
it's a big loss
lol
cries in 4 sockets but 1.6k haste and 1.3k crit
I'd just keep the 445
Ye I'll have rank 3 soon
and rank 65 next week
so I should be getting straight 99/100s
Sockets make up for that
I don't really have a lot of sockets in my raiding set
and I only have two benthic pieces
that are not even 425
that are socketed
I wish I had your skill then.
Ye so no 100s breh
😦
maybe ashvane if we 2 phase it
Ye on aoe pad maybe
ye that was the best one
look at the damage before we hit third phase
it was higher
than after the add set
Us hitting that phase fucked my damage
Fuck being boss tank 🙃
My radiance log is big gay
So is ashvane
Can very well do better
Boss dmg log is looking acceptable
Orgo was 95 on 1st kill :(
Obv
giant pocket sized also
I painfully did the WQs for 2 weeks straight
and bigger trinkets than I do
and better weapons for ashvane, blackwater and stuff
rip
next week
When I get both my null and rank 65
Imma be big
6 more days of this crap
Hf
I hit exatled with unshackled last week and I didn't take a break ever, you're even slower than me
maybe I should run triple reckless with MS/ BFI and heavy repercussions for giant parse lul
I work monday-thursday 12/13 shifts
Fuck that shit
so I don't play those days
I only raid log for like 5 weeks now
I only started tanking this tier
Was a lock main when tier hit
we needed a tank so I switched off
Unluck
not really
I miss my lock but it's not all bad
me tanking gave me a new perspective
on how to play the game
Teaches you how to RL, focus on others cds, positioning and management
For me it would be exact opposite
As dps you have so little to do, you can check positioning and CDs way better than as tank
Especially ranged
ye but you don't check cds and other peoples positioning
you just dps
lol
most people atleast
Well as RL you should
Dafuq
because it's shit easy
I sit there not thinking about anything most of the time
like oh, I have to taunt now
oh, this is coming up
better defensive
and push buttons on cd
:4head:
Idk bout that one chief
Tanking has been the hardest this tier
Compared to bod and uldir
By like 300%
Ashvane and orgo is so much fucking tank responsibility its annoying
But you're not 2 tanking and not orgo tanking
ashvane does?
I can see org being annoying if you 2 tanked it
the only part that was hard about it was my cd management being fucked but I fixed it
Ashvane 2 tanking means
You have to have perfect timings
From start to finish
With who taunts what
Cuz you tank 90% or the time, the soak tank only tanking very specific bashes
You tanking specific bubbles
Yada Yada
? I don't know, wasn't that annoying
we did attempts as 2 tank
didn't notice anything different
besides we just couldn't meet the dps check
and people fucking up coral cutting
and dying to upsurge
Ashvane was horrible for like 50 pulls
Now it's uber chill cuz my cotank knows what to do
yes
We 2 tank Ashvane and in the end I don't tank 90% of the time at all, we split the soaks between a ton of people and go with it.
But yeah, Ashvane, Gorgonzola and QC are pretty tank oriented. Lots of movement, taunts, and CD management.
Ye Monks suck
e
Fuck Monks
Monks are great
Ultra chill as in "if you place the boss wrong once it's a fail pull" yeah, ultra chill :kappa:
It must be very chill when your raid has really high DPS.
Playing the game on fucking crayon simulator
Which we don't have.
Fuck Monks
?
I hate Monks
ok
It's usually thunderclap
Tc highest on St
Just seeing those diff of damage taken from melee on QC makes me puke monks 😦
Hmm checked logs
guess no t
maybe I'm just used to doing m+ and trash pulls
sim says I should be doing melee as the highest
don't know why your melee is the highest
Are you looking at pure ST fight
yes
My melee does 4k dps
I was looking at first boss and wormie boi
I'm using alot of IP
In my rotation
Like I play max offensive with max defensive playstyle
I only do IP if I have no IP up already
I revenge rarely
so it doesn't IP cap
IP cap isn't really something to worry about
Ye
Out of curiosity, for how long have you guys been playing prot ?
And war in general ?
2 months now not counting me getting geared up season 2
War since wotlk
end of season 2
I started this game in antorus as a lock
took a year break
came back bod
then rolled tank
beginning of legion
guys, anyone know why details shows me bigger dps for the whole m+ run than logs? in details - 17k dps and in log - 13k
:4head:
total damage is same, bud dps is lower in log
log counts downtime details is on combat start
Why the fuck would logs count downtime
Na fam
Combat logging is called combat logging for a reason, if you're not in combat, it doesn't log
Simple as that
I think you misunderstood me
lol
It's like the difference between details and skada
One interacts with combat differently
I use to remember the actual variable with i t
but I forgot
Haven't thought about that since legion
His details might be setup in the way that if a target stops, it's dps stops
Cuz that's an option
If you deal 0 dmg but are in fight your dps doesn't change
But idk, I don't log m+
Usually Fury but got a 430 Font w/ Socket. My other trinkets I used for my Prot spec are a 415 fang (on use haste) and a 400 Rezan's Gleaming Eye. Would I use the Font over the Eye? Or is just the 4s channel just kind awkward as tank
Use the rezan + font
This 4s channel is very awkward yes, so you have to 100% know when to use it
In a raid setting
And in m+ obv just before pulling the next pack
the rezan is better than the 415 fang?
No it doesn't
@grizzled junco fang is shit and rezan is one of the best trinkets in the game
thx
good to know
I just push IP
like ALL the time
because if I wait to spend rage on revenge I don't spend rage
I don't tank raids tho
and I run a lot of crit in dungeon +goreblock
would a 410 alch trinket be better than the 400 rezan
that idk
I'd use it
how much difference is a non-socketed benthic? I'm just tired of this rng
You can sim it in gear compare and see
socket is big
spending pearls upgrading without a socket is kinda silly
they're all gonna make fun of you!
anyone else having loads of issues with plater today?
Dunno if it's plater but I had alot of errors ingame.
What kind of issues with Plater? I haven't noticed anything so far.
👍
@graceful sundial late reply sorry but if you think about it like this. a 415 socketed benthic will easily beat a 425 non socketed piece. Yet you will have used 150 manapealrs to go from 415-425 that you could have spent gambling.
thanks for your answers guys
anyone who has red card subroutine DEFRAGMENTATIOn
from mechagon hard mode
can u tell me if it crit heals
and how much % hp is the threshold to receive the maximum 200% heal
is devastator with flurry stacks the new way to parse high having trouble getting out of purple
also should i worry about what ilvl my cyclotronic blast is or just use it with a coral? is there an easier way to upgrade the ilvl besides just hoping for a yellow card titanforge
how long do you guys usually let necrotic to stack up to before you start to kite it off?
@cosmic cape it’s always been the way to parse on strictly single target
yeah i have a few ilvl oranges but want to get more
is there a risk of cancelling AA's with devestator?
Devastator triggers from AAs; how would it cause them to cancel them?
i mean by queueing other abilities, im worried im pushing back auto attacks
Yeah none of our abilities cause swing timer resets that I'm aware.
no abilities anywhere cause swing timer resets afaik
Nah there are some. Lightning Bolt resets enhance shaman's swing timer
yeah but that;s so they don't use it as a filler
yes
I mean, I wasn't saying why it did. Just that it did haha
so if you are casting it you are inting
to do a caster movie
but you can cast it if you're not in melee
It's for filling globals when you can't be on boss basically
you cast flame tongue, rockbiter twice
and then like if you are away for more than3 globals
first of all you are inting
Lightning Bolt is always instant for Enhance I'm pretty sure, btw. It resets the swing timer either way.
and yeah you can cast lb
finally unlocked 65 essence slot. Vop lucid and null ?
vop cns sphere
!!!
Seriously gonna list two PvP essences just out of nowhere?
Like my heart wasn't breaking about my next essence grind already?
🙂
Can i change booming voice for devastator on m+?
i wouldn't
@warm plinth New content for you boi: )
iKR
I dont mean pvp 🙂
? lol
Streamed few +10 boosts because i felt they would be bit sketch xd
I'm in a +12 Siege at 358 right now 😄
Where stream
I mean, I'm not tanking it lol
I'm "off-tanking"
Nice, got 430 crit/haste boots and a 430 crit/haste ring from it 😄
We timed that shit too lul
Y i k es
Don't be jelly
Gonna do a semi-big boy key now
@sick sentinel Hey those two items brought me from 358 to 370 😂

I mean, when you're carrying a 358 warrior who's in prot spec but not tanking...lul
I could see it happening
Late talking shit lol
Ip
what about the adds?
Did the same thing smh
is mind tether really bad for prot?
Its not ideal
just go fury
Not great
I know i would pull aggro from cotank
:D
All the time
Oh
I did pull aggro
he's dpsing it more before we kite tho
so I stopped pulling aggro
If its for moving the boss you can just have monk taunt boss first for ms and you taunt it
And no getting a dps on tether doesnt work
It actually slaps now
ahh they tweaked it?
Ppl where abusing it since if u had the tanks in different realms it wouldnt tether lol
you can't even get a dps on tether
2nd bloodsport or 1st rezans fury?
rezans
prot warrior is so op im hella tanky and hella dps only 428 imagine if i was 440
I feel like urchin in keys is like
eh
it did 15.2% of my overall healing
which is 1.6m but through an entire dungeon
where it's probably going to be on max buffer
It feels weird
prot best m+ tank?
Monk and Prot
those are the two i am trying to decide between
monk more fun u get to zoom around
subjective
unless you're pushing for world ranks, it really doesn't matter
both are very strong
play what is fun
just coming back from a long break, been playing some monk. monk self heals seem pretty high.
it's not, comparably really.
monk toolkit isn't about healing
friend plays resto druid, my health seems pretty smooth with hots/stagger
complementing specs, rdruid is consistent healing over time and monk is about smoothing out the damage to a longer duration
i hear the block from warrior can be pretty strong
correct
does one require more "babysitting" from the healer?
i mean you take less damage per second on monk
reading the spanish part on a wet floor sign eh
lol
i'd say monk really
warr mitigates more damage where monk just spreads that damage out over a longer period
just makes it predictable for healers, doesn't really take less damage
which is why i said per second..
it was more of a counter point to @distant crystal
it's also more about how well they're played, a proper warrior can mitigate damage for quite a while, but there's often quite a disparity between good and bad.
I mean
It's even apparent for monks
You ever watch a monk yoyo like a mofo
Shits funny and scary at the same time
yup
dumb question. avatar increases crucible of flame damage?
no
Avatar is a whitelist buff, only affects specifically selected abilities, warrior only abilities
@sick sentinel urchin gets better in higher keys, in necrotic its weak for obv reasons but idk how you managed to only get 1.6m healing out of it, normally it does like 5-6mil and like 3mil on necrotic / 2khps
Well it was a sell run and we two chested it so could be why
ye, urchin starts getting really good on 18+
My main tank said he'll give me both edicts and urchin
From mythic
As hes a monk and has urchin already
id be a waste if he doesnt have edict
and trades you one
tbh
edict is huge on monk
well both are btter on monk period
but if you dont have either... actually could be good
Well he wants me to have it because fights where magic damage suck
Why is it better on monk? The edict
S
they take more dmg
He's a lot tanker than me and i dint have null
monks take more dmg and more consistent dmg
thus the urchin heals are very complimentary to monks
cuz of stagger dmg alone
and edict because they simply take more dmg in the moment
Thanks, thought there was some weird interaction for a second
na
monks are tankier but they take alot of dmg regardless, its just their toolkit spreads it over a long time, like thyme said
Free loot yo
weird guild
im fully expecting my guild to wipe on zaq for 3 weeks +
and another 4 weeks on azshara
atleast
Question for y'all. Doing 17s and 18s tomorrow and not very experienced at that level. Should I bother with edict or urchin even though it's necrotic? I usually only do 15-16s
theyre not as good on necrotic, most people opt not to use them
So sticking with gorecrusted and like vial is good?
Could also use some advice for ashvane. Guild is progging on it and we're still messing around with positioning. Officers want me and the other tank to drag her mid during burn phase.
This will drop coral in the middle unless we drag her to the wall for every barnacle bash during that phase. Officers seem set on the strat but I was wondering if anyone here has done similar things
What we were doing in previous attempts was moving her about halfway between the wall and the center, for reference
always drag bash onto sides, go into middle after 1st razor corals
know which tank takes the beam debuff
thats about it
she does 1 bash after briny bubbles in burn phase, have the other tank taunt after bubbles, take the bash outside, after the bash and him getting the debuff you taunt back into the middle
By first razor corals you mean the first set that spawns during shield phase?
the first beams
she goes as follows:"
Shield Break
Bash which your cotank takes
Beam debuff application on your other tank
you Taunt that cuz she'll do bash again, drop that off to the side
after bash she'll cast Briny bubbles, kite her into the middle with bubble and immune it with berserker rage
Cotank taunts for the next bash + beams, bneams apply 1sec after bash finished
you taunt back after beam debuff application so he can go cut corals
thats the entire burn phase
on phase 1
Thank you! That's exactly what I needed
and if you use cyclotronic blast on pull, you should have it up the second she starts casting her hardening carapace in burn phase again
but with the HP nerf idk about that one 100%
420 crit/mast socket legs or 415 tide goddess's? Still ilvl above the crit proc?
i have 1 120 gem and 1 haste gem do i go 80 str or another haste?
Ty
@strong forum do you have edict?
usually 120 str, then 80 str, then haste
@indigo phoenix never vers
wait really
there is no occasion in the game where you would ever put a vers gem in your gear
well thats unlucky xd
you do want vers as a stat on gear though right
or well some vers at least
eh
no
ilvl>>>>>haste>crit>vers>mastery for dungeons
ilvl>>>>>haste>vers>mastery>crit for raiding
but all stats are close together
so more stats>"better" stats
ye i was aware bout the ilvl part
but i just thouht vers is kinda strong for all tanks
it is
but
do you know why
sit down for a second and use your noggin and try to understand the reason vers is so good for most* tanks
Aight budd
secondly, you can be high rio without knowing what stats do
Nvm forget I asked
people play in MDI and don't know how their gear works
Actualy mongol
I'm trying to help you lmao
No I don't
@strong forum I forgot prot lootspec in QC during our last reclear and I got it and couldn't trade it
Well look at it this way
You woulda gotten loot anyway, the other tanks didn't
I'd like to think loot doesn't drop perse, but X amount of people get smth.
hi is the engineer head 450 better than 3x bastion 435
Like, it's not ike you stole an edict, it was just your time to get an item and it so happens to be edict
