from a systemic perspective gearing is simply the power creep for progression. In a sense it is both a reward (in respect to the fact that you are granted it for doing X thing) but it's also a tool (as fights are designed/tuned around certain thresholds). The big difference between perspectives is how you view the accomplishment. Does it get value in simply doing it or do you need some overt way to validate and quantify that accomplishment, this is where power creep/gear comes into play. An interesting example of something that actually splits this otherwise intrinsic relationship is the Alagalon achievement.

i feel like this debate is going on more than it should

wee woo wee woo discussion police

inb4 someone comes in and says

'fkin elitist pricks'

warm plinth
brittle owl
#

remember afking in full tierset in a major city

sand egret
#

well part of the "prestige" feeling that people are clawing for (some without being able to articulate it) was lost when transmog came into play, for better or worse.

warm plinth
#

Yeah I do think it was cool when the gear you were wearing spoke to your progress

sand egret
#

tier 3 used to be the badass sign, untilt he BMAH just made it a pay sink

warm plinth
#

But now I don't even recognize gear half the time because everyone has it transmogged

sand egret
#

basically, so the only important thing is the numerical data on it

brittle owl
#

uhmm no wtf

#

the only important thing is if it has leech or not

#

obviously

sand egret
#

that's numerical data

brittle owl
#

no leech is leech

sand egret
#

of a numerical value

warm plinth
#

Say numerical one more time Blade

brittle owl
#

no, it is succ value

sand egret
#

based on your numerical damage values

weary thorn
#

but what number of succ

brittle owl
#

no it's degree of succ

weary thorn
#

which is usually expressed...numerically

brittle owl
#

it can be small succ, slightly more succ, succ, slightly more succ etc etc

#

at the end you have full succ

#

idk why but this is my hill to die on now

weary thorn
#

hmm, I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for the maelkenar tooltip replacing numerical values with the vagaries of degrees of succ

sand egret
#

don't think you'll have much SUCCess with this crusade.

brittle owl
#

succs to think that tbh

sick sentinel
#

God dammit, it happened again another cursed tinket

#

now i got 440 spores AND button

#

brittle owl

spores give tiny succ sometimes

#

so not good

#

Tfw you don't care about weekly chest anymore...

sick sentinel
#

I've gotten an upgrade every single week

#

this tier

#

last tier was horrible

#

even if its for fury offspec

strong forum
#

1 piece here

#

Cuz it needs to be 450+ to be even considerable 🙃

#

If I get getikku, weekly chest is literally worthless besides stacking TR for next tier

sick sentinel
#

well yeah I'm 444

#

but I keep getting lucky sockets

and stat upgrades

strong forum
#

Stuck at 448.5, half my guild is 450... Kinda annoying

my guild doesnt have enough for mythic since classic release 😦

havent touched a single mythic boss

oof

Yikes

we just clear heroic over and over and over

Said it before, will say it again, will continue to say it.
Imagine dropping retail for classic

We didn't lose a single person to it

sick sentinel

I play classic sometimes but retail is where my heart is at

our whole server got hit HARD

Is lingering sporepod good for AoE?

No

i've logged in a few times since then and got bored before i made it to my quest objectives

sick sentinel
#

phial of the arcane tempest is what I use sometimes on skittish weeks

distant crystal
#

and logged back out

#

lol

strong forum
#

But only cuz I had 2 week vacation and was bored out of my mind

#

Phial is decent

sick sentinel
#

I'm 35 I just log in super late at night sometimes

strong forum
#

But skittish shouldn't exist for any tank anymore

#

Tbh

#

It's a non affix

sick sentinel
#

nah I know, especially for a warrior

#

our threat is crazy already

#

but, sometimes I help people get their keys done and stuff and watch movies at the same time

distant crystal
#

if your group has meme beam up and you don't have avatar up

#

and no rogue

sick sentinel
#

so phial just makes it easier lol

strong forum
#

Even then waat

distant crystal
#

they might look at a dps for a couple seconds at least

strong forum
#

If a dps rips threat off of you. Kinda weirdW

#

Well that's fine

#

Cuz that doesn't do anything

distant crystal
#

or if you're a rogue who gives tricks to party1

#

and the tank isn't party1

#

and you bte :p

#

killed a poor havoc dh like that on a proximity pot + lust pull at the beginning of ad 19 last week

#

oof

sick sentinel
#

nomeratur, how much haste is too much haste do you think?

distant crystal
#

all of it

brittle owl
#

if you get by with full sb/cd/external coverage on packs and bosses

#

haste becomes redundant in m+

#

but thats a lot of haste

weary thorn
#

you're likely looking at beyond 40% including ITF before it becomes redundant

brittle owl
#

achievable next patch

strong forum
#

2k

#

2k haste is a fuckton and you should maybe invest into more crit

#

I'm at 1.5-1.7k but only 1k crit

brittle owl
#

that sounds like a blanket statement

#

and it doesn't apply to all scenarios/cases

wanton terrace
#

445 high Crit/Mastery shield or 440 high Vers/Crit shield with Socket?

weary thorn
#

he answered the question based on how it was asked though

strong forum

445

mossy rover
#

are prot warriors fun? 🙂

distant crystal
#

ye

#

but this is a biased place to ask that

mossy rover
#

im aware of that :p

#

looking to alt an tank

static bane
#

Ive played BM and Prot warrior and I prefer Prot warrior because of the damage

#

BM is nice but i would certainly consider it boring even if the abilities "sound" cool

#

Nothing beats a thunderclap with the glyph imho.

mossy rover
#

yeah im torn between DK and warrior

distant crystal
#

well between those two there's no competition

#

warrior easily

warm plinth
#

Fun is subjective but having played both of those tanks, warrior is definitely more fun.

mossy rover
#

yeah ive only ever played DK tank before, never touched warrior

warm plinth
#

Warrior is more of a proactive feel (though in fairness, great DKs are very proactive), and you'll be filling all of your globals.

wraith cave
#

best shield to get from m+

warm plinth
#

I think the ML one is crit/haste so that's probably the "best" one. But your highest ilevel shield is the best one regardless of stats.

How does spell reflect work on cyclone strike in first boss of ToS? The blockable spreadsheet says:

Only works if initial cast doesn't target you - avoid if starts at you!
So... Assuming it's targetted at someone else, I pop spell reflection then get into LoS of the cyclones, or..? It's weird that it has to target someone else, right?

exotic spoke
#

Yes

#

Thats basically how it works encoded

#

Do not move away from the boss as he casts cyclones either. Otherwise you'll get hit by them a second time (the first set is reflected and the second one murders you)

lapis topaz
#

Thanks. Hoping to try that out this week

analog swift
#

ideally you should have all of your melee stacked up on you anyway so everyone can jsut run through the boss and not have to worry about where he is facing

grave marsh
#

is the punchcard for dodging any good?

lapis topaz
#

Good tip Danger, thank you.

fast karma
#

Yall. Whats better? Loop of Pulsing Veins with Haste Mast or Overseer's? Both at 440.

brittle owl
#

@grave marsh nope. its a good meme, anything other than cyclo is wasted in the mecha trinket

#

unless you literally dont have any trinkets

#

in which case you could use overclock

grave marsh
#

i've got a 415 overclock, but havent found a cyclo yet

brittle owl
#

cyclotronic blast is from.the vendor

grave marsh
#

oh

just got Briny Barnacle ilvl 455, is this any good? playing mostly M +

I have a 445+socket and its ~2-4% of overall damage

Guys for m+ CnS or aegis of the deep? I run up to 18s now but planning on going higher

no direct changes

yea thats true

static bane

I thought i was supposed to be running Memory Major

floral sphinx
#

ive never heard of that

static bane
#

Vision of perfection sorry

#

Memory minor

#

Null barrier as 2nd minor

floral sphinx
#

i use memory minor only cause i dont have conflict and strife

sand egret
#

if you're referring to the comments above, i'm pretty sure they're talking about minors

static bane
#

Ah.

floral sphinx
#

actually im sorry i use aegis mostly

oblique garnet
#

@static bane in what context?

static bane
#

M+

oblique garnet
#

null isnt worth it in most dungeons

#

sphere does much more

steep wraith
#

Does sphere proc on bosses?

warm plinth
#

Sphere is used for the minor, for the stat buff. The movement speed debuff from the minor does not affect anything that other slows don't already affect. AFAIK the major does work on bosses but it's just not good enough to outshine other essences in the major slot.

steep wraith
#

Yeah, I heard that if bosses are immune to slows that you don't gain the haste buff either

#

Maybe I was lied to

warm plinth
#

No way that's the case. They're completely different effects.

#

The movement speed is a debuff on the boss while the haste buff is a buff on you.

oblique garnet
#

@steep wraith You were lied to becaue all raid bosses are immune to slows and you still have the buff up

limpid pawn
#

for m+

#

i have 440 bracers, pants, and gloves now with sockets

#

and also 445 versions of them.

#

UGH - the sockets win out im assuming?

warm plinth
#

Probably

limpid pawn
#

is stacking haste just the best option in general for M+

warm plinth
#

No, the most total stats is the best option. But sockets add a ton of stats that should be better than a 5 ilevel difference, especially on lower budget items like bracers or gloves (probably any slot could lose 5 ilevel for a socket besides weapon/shield)

limpid pawn
#

i meant for gem slots

#

i have haste in all my gem slots atm, except a 120 str one in my trinket

warm plinth
#

Oh, you should use both strength gems

limpid pawn
#

really?

#

the 80 str one is also worth it over haste?

wild sandal
#

would 430 vison of demise be better to use that razan 450, for ST dps, sims puts razan higher but im not sure if it counts the HP loss of the target

limpid pawn
#

can't imagine the vision keeping up with a 450 rezan

distant crystal
#

vision is pretty bad

#

i would take 450 rezan over 450 vision

wild sandal
#

ok , thank you

warm plinth
#

@limpid pawn Yes, 80 str is better than 50 haste.

static bane
#

So you use leviathan and kraken eyes and then haste from there?

analog swift
#

is sphere minor worth anything past rank 1?

warm plinth
#

Yes Sky

static bane
#

Damn sphere looks good

#

Looks like rank 2 is worth the minor for the extra 2s

#

Ah ok this is basically earned the same way as blood of the enemy but tank spec

warm plinth
#

Yeah

#

And yeah the minor is good to have R2 of. R3 I think does nothing for the minor so it's not important.

static bane
#

Okay so if i already got BoTE can I get Sphere? Id assume there must be a way

distant crystal
#

yeah you buy it

#

with marks of honor

onyx vessel
#

Will be cheaper too

static bane
#

Oh cool

waxen cradle
#

What ya guys think Kraken Shell Pauldrons or Skyschorcher ?

#

I am leaning towards Kraken Shell but just looking for opinions

warm plinth
#

I'd go with Kraken Shell. Bastion, MS, UF

fierce juniper
#

Skyscorcher has much better defensive traits assuming you already have a DC. Kraken Shell is going to be better for dps

#

but you should sim regardless if that's what you're going for

waxen cradle
#

thanks yeah I will just sim most likely

oblique garnet
#

Id go with Kraken Shell assuming your shield is not like 400ilvl

warm plinth
#

That's a fair point too 😂

waxen cradle
#

no its 445

#

I have 2 not the ones I want but they are 445 so hey

somber sky
#

that's 455 btw

distant crystal
#

i mean look how much healiing it did compared to what, 415 prism?

somber sky
#

well prism has insane uptime

oblique garnet
somber sky
#

damn you spam the frick out of IP

#

i'm doing something wrong

#

y'all prio IP over shield block?

oblique garnet
#

no

warm plinth
#

No

#

But you will by their nature get a lot more casts of IP than Shield Block. Either dumping rage or just the fact that Shield Block has a CD and IP doesn't.

somber sky
#

fair enuf

warm plinth
#

Assuming you're not dumping rage with Revenge

#

which is possible if you're going full DPS

somber sky
#

I'm not surprisingly

#

wait

#

yeah i am then 😦

oblique garnet
#

My dps in the sale with the 2 tank trinkets it isnt too bad but without them would be higher

somber sky
distant crystal
#

damn what a slave to the meta you are

#

triple fire mage

warm plinth
#

lolol

somber sky
#

xd

#

that ret was 395 idk how he did that low damage

#

no rebukes, no bubbles, no BoPs

near ivy
#

its because hes bad

warm plinth
#

Another thing to consider btw is that the Diamond can't overheal because it's an absorb, while lingering sporepods is a random af proc and doesn't actually heal til 4 seconds AFTER the proc. So chances are it has pretty high overhealing.

distant crystal
#

he was just wearing holy gear

#

forgot you could go outside and change

near ivy
#

even then

somber sky
near ivy
#

he's still bad

oblique garnet
#

2x Fire mage with bolstering doesnt feel good tho xd

distant crystal
#

diamond is like the ideal tank healing/absorb trinket

warm plinth
#

Lol 65% overhealing? Yikes

distant crystal
#

incremental addition

warm plinth
#

Well diamond and urchin since urchin doesn't heal unless you're injured

distant crystal
#

you're almost never going to have even a few hp of wasted shield

somber sky
#

yeah but i ran a kr before this and there was a much smaller overhealing. like about 25%

#

does damage prio diamond over IP?

distant crystal
#

i think it's whatever went on last

#

not sure tho

somber sky
#

oh so if i IP, a portion of my barrier is damage and a portion of IP

warm plinth
#

Doesn't really matter either way, does it? Either way it's stopping x amount of damage. Having IP up just makes the shield last longer.

sick sentinel
#

It prios diamond

#

Fully

#

No ghash

distant crystal
#

so your ip won't take any dmg

near ivy
#

it does matter

sick sentinel
#

Yes @distant crystal

distant crystal
#

until diamond is depleted?

somber sky
#

wait then that's wasted rage right?

#

if i overlap?

warm plinth
#

I mean, you will waste rage at some point

near ivy
#

its (kinda)wasted rage if you hit IP while you already have an IP

distant crystal
#

i mean your diamond should get depleted pretty quick

#

in any given pull

sick sentinel
#

If it benefits your anger management

near ivy
#

you would rather it hit your IP shield than your diamond shield

warm plinth
#

Because you had to prevent overcapping and revenge was free. Either way it affects your Anger Management CDR

sick sentinel
#

Then it's not wasted

somber sky
#

according to what kaege siad, i'll have to wait for barrier to be down so i IP to efficiently use rage

distant crystal
#

naw

near ivy
#

yes

somber sky
#

until then SB?

sick sentinel
#

That's the wrong play

near ivy
#

the question is do you want to "efficiently" use rage

warm plinth
#

No, you shouldn't be putting that much thought into it.

near ivy
#

you should have SB up before IP

warm plinth
#

Using rage is better than overcapping rage

near ivy
#

assuming what you are fighting is physical

warm plinth
#

Even if it's into a "wasted" IP

near ivy
#

^^

sick sentinel
#

Just push your buttons

somber sky
#

okay

distant crystal
#

like even a full diamond should get depleted by like 2-3 melees max

warm plinth
#

Diamond should not change your playstyle

somber sky
#

just dont want to spam SS and clap

near ivy
#

it wont change your playstyle

distant crystal
#

it just might change your healer's playstyle a little 🙂

somber sky
#

yeah the KR i ran, the healer went full dps until i started taking damage

oblique garnet
#

🤔

somber sky
#

which was like aobut 4-5 seconds xD

#

It's just that i'm hardstuck with my 415 diamond. never lucky with other tank trinks

near ivy
#

the healer did something other than healing when there was no healing to be done?

somber sky
#

i'd like to assume that's the case.

near ivy
#

so would i

distant crystal
#

that's when you check twitter

#

and paste your geti'ikku in #fury

near ivy
#

getting 450 getti is really easy tho?

#

you just need to plagiarise archi

if its undocumented its jsut as likely as a bug as it is a feature

@exotic spoke I apologized as I didnt see why it would be a big deal tbh. But its definitely not giving VRs

exotic spoke
#

The issue being - people expect pings to be to make gold in a carry disc.

hearty lichen
#

Yes but the ping was in mythic plus chat. Not in a key channel, it was a channel meant for discussion

pallid berry
#

so is ascended alchemy stone better then a heroic edicts?

#

its higher ilvl, but itsbetween that, the stone or the bloodthirsty urchin

stray sparrow

thinking bout coming back to BFA. how are prot warriors in mythic + and raids?

i see monk tanks are usually for mythic +?

Its the majority of people that use gallywix where if you ping everyone at a role people flip because they are expecting gold

You'll see that like no one else pings large number of people either 😛

But it’s whatever - just don’t be like that priest who was pinging just to troll

do any of you actually use undulating tides

strong forum
#

For parsing, some do

#

It's good dmg if you don't proc it 24/7

sick sentinel
#

it seems like it does good for me

but I finally got a 445 with bastion on it (and meticulous)

#

compared to my 430 with bastion and undulated

#

my other 2 pieces are 445

ionic fern
#

I'd take the 445.

#

👌

#

+15 ilvl and BoM/MS.

sick sentinel

yeah

meticulous I would imagine is good? for offensive and and defensive

#

I've never used it

Jeah, it's really good. : )

MS is the best trait you could get

hallow phoenix

I was pleasantly surprised by its DPS value in sims

I just run BoM + MS now in raids instead of BoM + RF. Saves on reforging and only sims like 100 lower

Now if only the shoulders would drop

im running blood rite on another piece

pretty

stoic pilot
#

There’s one issue I have with MS and I can’t tell if it’s just bad rng or it just bugs out frequently lol

#

It will drop to like 10% uptime for me randomly until I re-equip

#

And it’s frequent enough to annoy me

#

Was a stable 10% on 3 bosses the other night until I re-equipped gear and then shot back up to normal 30%+

sweet summit
#

The haste buff itself is called something else i believe

stoic pilot
#

I know what the buff is called

#

The uptime on buff will drop to 10% lol

sweet summit
#

Hmmm weird

stoic pilot
#

I ended up making a weakaura for the initial trigger so I should notice if it’s not proccing as much as it should

#

It’s just annoying that it messes up this frequently because I do have 2 of them so it’s significant when it doesn’t work properly

#

Like on Sivara, seize the moment procced literally one time

But on an earlier day on orgo I had 46% uptime on seize the moment 13 procs over 7 min

And 34% uptime on ashvane

That's kinda insane

The variance is big on it

you can check the dps swings in raidbots

Is cyclotronic worth it for Prot warrior in regards to single target? I lose a ton of strength and haste proc replacing a 445 rezans

It does a lot of damage, you can sim to see if it is a dps upgrade. But keep in mind you cant block attacks while channeling and casting it

Appreciate that, yeah, I guess it’s more of a raid trinket. I was thinking about using it on mythic ashvane

ionic fern

It's pretty decent there especially if it lines up.
I could use mine on pull and then the next one right before the new carapace went up.

Appreciate that, I’m trying to pump more damage as survivability isn’t really a huge issue

I’m noticing that I have this bad habit of over ignore paining lol, gonna dump rage into revenge more often

It's like 1.5k dps

It's good to cap IP over rage capping.

As a trinket such an ability isn't that great, but as a free racial proc it's quite something

Im just trolling you as the logic behind why everyone was saying why it was shit still stands. “If you’re getting that low then you got other problems” or “if you’re in that situation you’re already dead”

so its a dead racial for a huge portion if not 100% of the time in many scenarios

As a trinket choice there's stuff that's better, as a free racial thats always active and on a lower CD than said trinkets, it's quite strong

Now the question is - do u save TR or do I random them for an OS I don’t play

Save up

That’s what I’m leaning towards

Got the dream set up for defensives

Well, if opportunity cost is the focal point, then it goes back to use/no use. This also applies to the cooldown. 10 minute of 15 seconds, if its never used due to gear/proper play/etc. then it has 0 value.

@exotic spoke imo people underestimate inkpod in M+

warm plinth

I have Null but only Rank 2 so far

And I know it's not as good in M+

analog swift
#

my thoughts about it, you get less stacks because mobs die faster but it takes the same % of their health for time on the mob

#

if that makes sense

warm plinth
#

Aegis is actually really good; I like it

analog swift
#

apparently it's booty compared to conflict

#

which seems odd

warm plinth
#

Well conflict has tooltip issues XD

analog swift
#

but i guess conflict is pretty stable at 5 throughout a dungeon whereas aegis fluctuates

warm plinth
#

People look at the tooltip and think it only gives like 20some per stack

#

But Aegis is easier to get for a lot of people (like me) as well

sick sentinel

You will understand why aegis is booty especially for tyrannical if you see a mplus log

If you want it for pvp you should probably use maledict I guess

the fall below 35% and the use reduce healing should be pvp only tbh

coral marsh
#

for pve, why is the fall below 35 % bad for myth+? sounds chill

warm plinth

Because we don't drop below 35% unless we screw up

coral marsh
#

i mean sure but imagine the healer or whatever screwing up for a sec

#

sounds chill idk

warm plinth
#

It wouldn't be the healer screwing up; it would be you screwing up.

coral marsh
#

not when the healer stops healing

stark sage
#

if the healer stops healing, you're going to die regardless of the trinket

ivory barn
#

I mean, If you mitigate right and have the proper IP absorb/trinket absorb. I did a few +13's and still dont fall beloew ~75% hp

coral marsh
#

would the shield of the trinket conflict with the ip cap?

ivory barn
#

Not that I've seen

#

Game uses which ever procs first, I could be wrong on that tho, but tahts what i've noticed

coral marsh
#

on wowhead it said the trinket got nerfed to 3 min internal cd in 8.2 for pvp or whatever apparently

#

so had to be kinda good in some way

stark sage
#

for pvp it was good

#

because players often fall below 35% hp, and the CD was short enough that it would negate the DPS cooldowns of certain specs making them useless

coral marsh
#

hm thanks i guess so all pretty much trash

vale kestrel
#

Hey question guys

#

I have never tanked before

#

And I’ve only ever DPS

#

I have a 400ilvl fury warrior

#

How hard is it to make a switch into prot tanking?

#

And how long does it take to gear to be able to start tanking mythic+ keys like 10-15?

#

Is most of our gear from raid or just m+ grinding?

coral marsh
#

i got a +10 with 410 last reset with pugs

vale kestrel
#

Yah but how geared is your healer

#

And dps

#

And how much experience you have

fringe marten
#

can you literally only get 2 call to arms distinctions per week? so it takes 5 weeks to get Ripple in space 3?

coral marsh
#

obviously they were 430+, but they take you anyways cause no one wants to tank

vale kestrel
#

That’s like saying I dps a 10 at 370 ilvl

coral marsh
#

and you dont get an invite as dps with lowilvl period

lofty wedge
#

To feel comfortable being somewhere around 420-30 for a 10 would be where I’d start personally. But if you can get in with a good healer and dps then you can be lower yeah

#

A lot of it depends on your essences too, what do you have?

#

VoP is really nice

exotic rapids
#

Would you guys drop the 3rd BoM for 15 ilvl? I am running 3 DC 3 BoM atm. I would go to 3 DC 2 BoM 1 Bloodsport for +15 ilvl

#

I am only runnning m+ 15-18 atm

#

I am simming 0.7% higher with the old gear. But DPS is not everything

sick sentinel
#

@exotic rapids don't run bloodsport don't run more than 1 dc

ivory barn
#

@sick sentinel is that the same for M+? A while ago people were saying its ok to stack DC for M+

exotic rapids
#

I am with nerdbot here. Brace for impact and iron fortress are basically useless in m+ at this gear level

sick sentinel
#

youre both wrong

#

people were doing it but it wasn't the best option

#

and both of those traits are really good at all gear elevels

#

BFI is an awesome trait. More ST damage paired with pretty substantial survivability

#

IF is amazing and BfI is pretty good

ivory barn
#

I mean, Im no longer running more than x1 DC but I'm running a build that made a few people made a few days ago

sick sentinel
#

How is your build making people mad

ivory barn
#

I honestly dont understand whats wrong with it either, but it was between the different Azerite traits and the bracer/gloves slot. I personally like Bloodsport (thats just my opionion though and I'm not saying its the best here).

ionic fern
#

Welp, that is a weird build.

sick sentinel
#

What are your other options?

#

Trait wise

ivory barn
#

it was ItP and CR

oblique garnet
#

vers enchants 🤔

sick sentinel
#

Yeah the vers enchants are suspect

#

Also why am i never rewarded by blizzard with sockets

#

I think I can count on one hand the amount of socketed gear I have gotten this tier

ivory barn
#

I'm guessing the Vers gem would need to go to? I like having 11%+ vers for some reason

sick sentinel
#

You will get more benefit from other stats imo. Having vers is good, but I don’t enchant or gem it

#

@ivory barn bloodsport is garbage

#

like legit useless

#

vers enchants are questionable

#

CR is definitely better than BS

#

Tbh your azerite gear isn’t the optimal setup... but then again we can’t always control that

ivory barn
#

Where would change be needed there? other than those 2 traits

sick sentinel
#

I’m referring mainly to the pieces of gear

#

enchants

ivory barn
oblique garnet
#

Also someone know if the thing with changing from itfto iv and back worked and fixed explosives triggering VR? or was that just scam

seems like you can get a pretty good rate with current prices

exotic spoke
#

Prices on my server are still stupid

#

But #deadserver

shut marlin
#

phial 430 and edicts 430 or briny 445 and edicts for m+s seems like briny performs better then phial

sick sentinel
#

@ivory barn that's 10 times better

ivory barn
#

thank you, hopefully I can get some better gear lol

ivory barn
#

only thing i've noticed different at the moment is instead of having a 105K IP pool I have a 70-80k IP pool

sick sentinel
#

Thats a very small difference

#

Considering ip isnt your main thing at alll

ivory barn
#

prolly not the place for that, nvm

sick sentinel
#

thing is, you'll be refreshing and re-casting IP so much

#

it doesn't really matter

ivory barn
#

I realized that, but having a higher IP pool can also cast more Revenges too

sick sentinel
#

well that's why you go haste/crit

#

to have most revenges free

#

if your revenges aren't free, pull bigger

ivory barn
#

lmao. "pulls half the instance" its free now damn it!

oblique garnet

Pretty much

spice ferry

strong forum
#

#

empty locust
#

Plan a stun rotation with your team helps a lot

sick sentinel
#

Yes my method is to stache a holy paladin in my pocket

hallow phoenix
#

Chaining shield wall and last stand helps

#

Don't need them for radiance itself

grave marsh
#

is urchin any good?

distant crystal
#

sick sentinel
#

grave marsh

thanks kaeg

#

Does explosive no longer proc victory rush?

#

either that or the group i had last night was just super good at getting them before me

undone sun
#

Handful of reports that it no longer pro s VR, yeah. Likely to be a bug.

empty locust
#

Shame, it was very helpful to my healers on higher keys

#

Hope its a bug

#

i was getting crappy at my DH and fury warrior last night...kept telling them to leave the singles for me for free healing

chilly brook
#

Yea I did a key last night and can confirm it’s not procing

warm plinth
#

Someone earlier had heard that if you spec into Impending Victory and then back out, it fixed the problem. Might try that @empty locust @chilly brook

#

It was secondhand to begin with though so it may not be true.

empty locust
#

Cheers will give it a shot, cannot test it right now

#

Supposed to be doing work...

So inkpod just crit for 1 million on harlan in FH

limpid pawn
#

so I don't see the top mythic + wars gemming str at all

#

should I not be doing that?

warm plinth
#

Whatever you want to do. Str gems should sim better though.

limpid pawn
#

yeah i have 120/80 str gems

#

and then haste

#

i'm seeing crit/haste

warm plinth
#

Haste/crit would have to be more than double the value of str to not use the 120, and about 1.6x the weight of str to not use the 80

#

Which I guess if you had like ultra low haste or crit, that might be the case, but not likely

stoic pilot
#

Can anyone actually confirm speccing into impending victory and out fixes explosive bug like ghash said?

distant crystal
#

be the change you want to see in the world

exotic spoke
#

no it doesn't

#

I tried it tonight in a carry

stoic pilot
#

unfortunate

somber solar
#

im a bit confused on the stat priority for war ive been reading haste/crit/verse but a lot of builds that i have been seeing has been crit/haste/verse?

undone sun
#

it's primarily to take ilevel over other secondaries, which means almost everyone's secondary order will be wildly different

warm plinth
#

The stat priority for damage would depend on your personal sims. The stat priority for survival is ilevel>all

somber solar
#

but if ur at highest ilvl with multiple stat gear

#

which would u take

#

crit/haste or haste/crit?

warm plinth
#

haste/vers for survival or haste/crit for damage

somber solar
#

so more haste than crit for damage?

warm plinth
#

Depends on your stat weights

#

Most likely haste will be better though

sick sentinel
#

If you're so giga worried about your stat weights for damage, rumor has it you can find out at raidbots.com

what trinkets are good from Ep for tankin?

ionic fern
#

What trinkets do you have=?

#

There's a ton of decent trinkets ..
Rezans, Blast, Inkpod,Coral,Edict,Urchin etc.

true oasis
#

Phial of the Arcane Tempest,Highborne Compendium of Sundering what i got at both 400 and jsut got a 430 Urchin

ionic fern
#

I'd probably use Urchin + Sundering in your scenario.

brittle owl
#

i'd use arcane tempest for raiding with sundering

onyx vessel
#

Recalibration be good for st dps?

#

8.3 minor prot buff

#

Vision procs more often

sick sentinel
#

they are buffing vision because it doesn't benefit from the essence that buffs your essences

plush gate
#

will it be worth to racechange to Mechagnome?

#

got a Draenei warrior right now

spice ferry
#

Wait and see the final version. Chances are it’ll be nerfed

ionic fern
#

🙅

sick sentinel
#

dark iron dwarf imo is best if you dont do high keys and even then only worth to go meld if everyone is nelf

#

dwarf racial helps alot with bleeds and dots

#

@plush gate wait until it's out

#

Numbers are 100% subject to change

worn socket
#

I know that prots DPS has been nerfed, but does Brew currently offer more survivability, utility, and DPS than prot?
