shoulders

exotic spoke

Shoulders have a better chance of getting a good item.

hallow phoenix
#

Helm for soulspun casque :^)

exotic spoke
#

Also - just go pug the first three mythic bosses and get the helm there ghash

#

They are easy mode

onyx vessel
#

#

i didnt know what to think so just gave it to him cause i woulda just scrapped 😦

exotic spoke
#

I think I’m just saving TR now

warm plinth
#

Well at least I can feel good about having Swirling Sands instead of having to have 2x DC

#

And it does have OP and RP

exotic spoke
#

Wonder how much I’ll get before season 4

hallow phoenix
#

The plate bois in my raid make questionable gearing choices

exotic spoke
#

Yup

warm plinth
#

I really need trinkets though; they're holding me back

onyx vessel
#

#

Any trinkets that can just be scrapped? Need to free up bag space 😦

onyx vessel

#

is good spend 47k TS to roll a chest or better wait 200k to take specific item? (my chest is 420)

onyx vessel
#

6 healers wadner

#

roll a chest

warm plinth
#

I wouldn't save TR at this point

#

By the time you get enough it'll be next season

exotic spoke
#

We have 6 so we can mix and match and people know their offspecs @onyx vessel

onyx vessel
#

figured

shadow tapir
#

455 Razdunk's in chest.

exotic spoke
#

Why wouldn’t you save TR. I have nothing I want to spend it on

warm plinth
#

tfw DH actually gets exactly what she wanted for azerite

#

He has a 420 chest

#

If you have all you need that's different

exotic spoke
#

Pretty much. May check out helmets and find a good parsing one but I’m debating that

grand drum
#

In your group, yoda is. Wipe you will not

onyx vessel
oblique garnet
#

You should run anima

warm plinth
#

Well, from a healing standpoint, anima R3 will be an improvement

#

Since you only have a 25% heal until then

#

But I mean, if not killing harlan saves you the 20 seconds, skip him. You don't get bonus XP or anything for him in a non-random. I can't imagine that he adds too much; maybe 10k XP per run or something at most

#

Can't eat? What do you mean?/

#

And what XP buff

#

Oh I got you

#

I mean, that seems like it'd be marginal tbh

sick sentinel
#

and if you die you lose the 10% exp buff from hallow's end

warm plinth
#

Fair enough; didn't know there was an xp buff from hallow's end

#

But why do you care about the 10% xp buff I guess? Because you're not leveling; the other person is.

#

Yeah, most likely

#

Hmm, I guess I'm not seeing the reason behind that. Is the entrance too far from the third island for XP? XP has a pretty large range on it.

#

So they have to follow you?

#

Gotcha

#

So they have to follow you at least to like the middle/end of the bridge

#

And then (sans hallow's end) die to reset

#

Yeah I mean I don't have any experience in it. I was just clarifying it for myself

coral marsh
#

you want to avoid skipping harlan

#

basically

warm plinth
#

Just curious, what do you do to prevent the teleporting on the first island? Do you just have to run down the front stairs (where you come in) and they won't do it?

coral marsh
#

ye, dont jump down

warm plinth
#

Well I was trying to go down the back stairs and had the same problem

#

So I guess it has to be the front stairs

#

That actually saves a lot of time because then you can funnel onto the bridge and do the whole first island at once; I was doing it in 2 pulls because I couldn't figure out how to stop them from porting me

exotic spoke
#

You kill at first boss. Then jump down and kills. Then after first bridge. Then towards shark boss. Then back towards Harlan stopping before bridge. Then everything with Harlan.

At least that’s what my friend does on hdh

warm plinth
#

I was doing 2 pulls on first island (one was all the mobs toward Kragg, then the other was the downstairs part), then doing the entire 2nd island at once, then Harland's island

#

with Harlan

coral marsh
#

the entire second?

warm plinth
#

Yeah, except for a couple pulls on the very top level, didn't seem worth it to get the like 6 mobs up there

coral marsh
#

by dragging them after you

#

and then killing them more after each other than at the same time

oblique garnet
#

harlan gives 15k xp

warm plinth
#

I just mounted up, ran around and got everything, then killed it all by Harlan's bridge

coral marsh
#

thats what i did at least

oblique garnet
#

its definitely worth killing

tame garden
#

trying to gather 2nd island and getting harpooned 6 times in a row Pepexecute

exotic spoke
#

He was doing the area right after the bridge - all of it at once. Where the event is to do the council of captains.

He would then go along the buildings (not towards second boss) and kill towards third. Then loop back towards council - killing more after clearing around shark boss

coral marsh
#

and how do you survive that big burst then?

exotic spoke
#

It was like 6 or 7 pulls

oblique garnet
#

I just do 2nd island in 2 pulls

warm plinth
#

Idk, it was sketchy on a couple of the tries

exotic spoke
#

Did you clear towards third boss late?

oblique garnet
#

Yeah

#

I take the middle area and 2nd boss room under the hut first and then take the rest

exotic spoke
#

Also - that was specifically for hdh. I haven’t tried it cause I CBA

oblique garnet
#

After that i take everything on the 3rd island with boss

warm plinth
#

Dropped to like 10% a couple times. Would've been more comfortable with Anima though tbh; I was running Vision

exotic spoke
#

He does last island in 1 pull.l with Harlan

oblique garnet
#

I could probably stream the route i used

warm plinth
#

Yeah last island pull is a joke

#

The only irritating part about it is the casters that apparently don't believe in line of sight

#

Every attempt I had one or two of them somewhere waiting to die

exotic spoke
#

He does like 6 pulls total

tame garden
#

if you go into the little hut on last island casters will come eventually

oblique garnet
#

No need to go there

#

You can just go to the carriadge in the boss room

coral marsh
#

you will die to giant stun in the hut?

warm plinth
#

I just strafe around the pack in a circle

#

If I think I can't get out of a boulder throw in time, I shockwave so the rest of the mobs don't instagib me

#

Can always heroic leap if needed as well

#

I definitely need to run Crackling Thunder though; I was just doing it for fun so I wasn't really trying. Still had safeguard on

exotic spoke
#

I should try it when I get home and test it. Anima vision aegis @oblique garnet ?

oblique garnet
#

Anima sphere lucid was what i was running

#

Anima sphere vision **

warm plinth
#

Yeah sphere is nice because you snare everything as you go through. Especially helpful to put distance between you and harpooners/brinescales on 2nd island

exotic spoke
#

I have a shit sphere - CBA to grind that honor. I’ll make due then since I’m just testing

Defensive traits or offensive

warm plinth
#

Sucks when you get harpooned and then frost blasted 🤢

#

I mean honestly if people are doing 2nd island in 2 pulls, you should not need anything defensive

exotic spoke
#

I mean that’s fair - I just haven’t done it at all ghash so I have no frame of reference.

warm plinth
#

I'm just sharing my thoughts. I'm not an expert either :p I've done it like 4 times

exotic spoke
#

I’ve seen it done when Probablyriki was power leveled

#

But that was hdh

warm plinth
#

Yeah, I think HDH typically does like you say with the 6 smaller pulls

#

But they can also kill it all wayyyy faster

#

So they can afford smaller pulls

exotic spoke
#

True true

oblique garnet
#

5.34 was the time i got with 4 pulls

#

and harlan

warm plinth
#

So first island, event area, rest of 2nd, then 3rd island?

oblique garnet
#

yeah

warm plinth
#

That sounds way easier than what I was doing. 2nd island was annoying af to pull all at once

coral marsh
#

you probably didnt pull everything

#

i cant imagine that is possible

warm plinth
#

Except for the 2 packs on the 3rd level, I pulled everything

oblique garnet
#

it gives 53% xp per run

#

Theres no point in going faster

warm plinth
#

I might have it on vod actually; can't remember if I was still streaming or not

coral marsh
#

everything below 5 min there is no point yeah

oblique garnet
#

everything below 6 you mean

warm plinth
#

Anything below 6 is no point.

oblique garnet
#

Was hitting dungeon lockout everytime while boosting getting the new one right after as the old one was done so i didnt get locked and the boost was done in like 2ish hours

warm plinth
#

Ah, forgot twitch is blocked at work. I'll see if I have it on vod when I get home

rare spear
#

Small brain question here, because I can't find any real information: Brace for Impact or Reckless Fury for PURELY dps. Do Sims accurately track Reckless for Prot?

coral marsh
#

depends if you count resetting, porting etc.

warm plinth
#

For ST Reckless Flurry

#

Idk about the sim question, but I believe it does

oblique garnet
#

Porting out and resetting takes like 20 seconds

coral marsh
#

and running in is a few more seconds

#

i mean another loading screen whatever

warm plinth
#

I can't remember; is the port out for FH actually outside or is it one of the ones that ports you to the entrance but still inside

oblique garnet
#

entrance

coral marsh
#

and technically there is always a point in case you only boost 5 level of course ^^

oblique garnet
#

Never take those buyers only ones that want full 10 levels because its more gold 8)

warm plinth
#

Well if you guys wanna gear a war on NA rq, you can practice by boosting my 112 rogue

#

I won't even charge you

#

šŸ˜

sick sentinel
#

just one question pls i dont found a 100% answer :S for m+ essenzes minior should i take lucid dream and nullification or lucid dream and aegis or conflict an strife it confuse me rly becosue i think agies and conflict is only depend on how big i pull or ?

warm plinth
#

Conflict is static vers regardless of pull size once it stacks up. Aegis depends on pull size.

#

I use Conflict and Sphere personally. Null is good for damage if you have R3 in a lot of dungeons

oblique garnet
#

Never ran CnS

brittle owl
#

aegis is a dead minor on bosses, cns isn't

#

but tbf, you can't go wrong with aegis/sphere/null/cns/flame minors

#

just experiment with them, see what works for you and your comp

limber pagoda

does brace for impact stack?

Yes, and yes

Nailed it @warm plinth, good job.

warm plinth
#

What can I say, sometimes I get lucky. I figured I had a 50/50 shot at each question so I went for it.

#

I have to admit, it was a ballsy call to go with yes for both but it paid off.

Hi catfriend and yeah he’s being naeno today

Queens court is less so than orgozoa imo but not an easy one imo

distant crystal

chilly brook

Basically wiped because I couldn’t do my job as a tank because my game froze because it was rescaling my UI for no reason

exotic spoke
#

5 melee. That’s cute

#

2 ret, 3 DKs, 1 rogue, 1 fury, am I missing any?

I think I have all of them - that’s not including melee healers or tanks. So 7 melee

#

my scuffed spriest alt shits all over my supergeared rogue main on that fight

chilly brook
#

1 rogue, 1 DK, 1 DH, 2 warriors

distant crystal
#

and p much for the rest of the tier

chilly brook
#

So 5

#

Used to be 6 but our OT got benched

exotic spoke
#

Oh and on our raid team, we previously had another fury and 2 DH but they quit with classic

chilly brook
#

Although now we got people rerolling shadow priest because they’re so balanced

exotic spoke
#

They’re getting nerf

distant crystal
#

they're still gonna be sweet

they're topping a lot of fights in the new raid on ptr right now

although one of the nerfs from the patch notes isn't live on ptr, but it may or may not make it

junior ivy

#

hi

#

hey guys watch cobra kai plz

chilly brook
#

I mean I don’t think the nerf is gonna severe enough to knock them out of top 5

#

Honestly I don’t see them moving anything past 3

junior ivy

are you all enjoying wow

Especially considering how far ahead spriests are in current tier

#

Hello guys. Can you tell me how secondary stats should be ? I dont know my cap (max stats weight...) and that's kinda hard to find. Can u help me ? As warprot

waxen cradle
#

At what point would ya guys say its better to set your loot spec to a dps spec to hunt weapons or more so trinkets... for me I feel now is as my trinkets are my lowest ilvl pieces and rings you can get regardless of spec

near ivy
#

@warped stag not really how stats work anymore

#

give it a read through

also 2 445 shields neither are the ones I want but hey 2 445 shields are 2 445 shields

@waxen cradle so you have a 1 hander yet that’s good? If so - since you already have a shield I’d swap to fury

vale kestrel
#

Does ignore pain limit the amount of magic damage reflected by spell reflection?

distant crystal
#

no

vale kestrel
#

Or does spell reflection take priority over ignore pain

distant crystal
#

you don't take the dmg at all

#

so it all gets reflected and nothing is taken off your IP bubble

vale kestrel
#

Cool

distant crystal
#

unless you mean, something not reflectable

vale kestrel

No no

distant crystal

and the DR portion of reflect

The amount of damage

nope

shadow wind
#

what pots do you guys use for dungeons?

vale kestrel
#

how do you guys value rings?

#

ik now for gear pieces it's typically ilvl > stats

#

but for rings

#

is it purely stats of haste + vers

#

outweigh everything else?

#

because i got a 440 ring from my chest that is crit (main) with a little haste

#

which would replace my 400 haste vers rings

#

is what i'm contemplating

exotic spoke
#

@shadow wind empowered proximity unbridled fury and improved strength pots

#

@vale kestrel Ilvl > * if you gave a socket it’s roughly 5-10 ilvl

It absolutely would replace a ring 40 Ilvl lower

#

i just started tanking , is there an addon that auto targets the high priority target in a m+ mob with a skull? or do you have to do it manually with a skull target macro and choose which target in mob yourself?

warm plinth
#

There are automarking WAs but I'm pretty sure they just assign marks when you mouseover in a specific order or something

#

It's not full auto

#

And you don't really need a macro for target markers; you can bind them in the default keybindings menu

muted tundra

oh hey, great thanks,

Also if you use the addon ERT has a marking bar that makes placing marks fast really easy

just wondering why people use booming voice when devastator sims higher?

chilly brook
#

Few reasons

#

BV is better in any cleave situation

#

You generate more rage

warm plinth
#

Sims higher in what kind of sim?

#

If Patchwerk, that's to be expected. If you are referring to dungeon slice, that sim WAY overvalues single target damage

chilly brook
#

I mean unless it's a pure patchwerk fight there's no real reason to use it

sharp raptor
#

why does dungeon slice way overalue single target damage? seems awful design

#

how do you guys sim for M+?

chilly brook
#

afaik dungeon slice isn't reliable at all

warm plinth
#

Idk that's how it's set up

#

For aoe I just do multiple targets with patchwerk

chilly brook
#

I mean if I'm simming for AoE just hectic add cleave

warm plinth
#

Usually 5 or so

chilly brook
#

or that

warm plinth
#

Huh, I did not even know this card existed

terse wedge
#

Can you use berserker rage before Radiances bubble to not get it at all?

#

Not radiance

#

Azshvane

warm plinth
#

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can

#

Lots of mentions of it if you search in this channel

terse wedge
#

I know for sure it works to purge the bubble

#

But haven't tried to use it before

warm plinth
terse wedge
#

My biggest concern is if it still bubbles the other people

ionic fern
#

@wooden radish Unfortunately no..you'd need to to be 6.1% leech then it would be sick.

exotic spoke
terse wedge
#

I think the cooldown is the 6 seconds you loose the haste

#

Id assume that's the point

warm plinth
#

Fuck it I'm testing

exotic spoke
#

@ionic fern know anything about it? I had never seen it until ghash linked it to m

#

@terse wedge yes - you can pre-cast beserker rage. You should. Also, it will still bubble people aroundyou

terse wedge
#

Yeah I figured as much

#

We wanted to try a special strategy today

#

But r.i.p

weary thorn
#

I used pwar for our first thiccvane kill specifically because I could immune bubbles

#

Since then I just bring who I need for trinkets

exotic spoke
#

I can immune all but like 1 bubble

#

its fucking great

weary thorn
#

Agreed

exotic spoke
#

and I take every single bubble except for the 1 I cant immue

weary thorn
#

I just get a pain supp for the 1 I can't immune

ionic fern
#

Can't say i do @exotic spoke but going by logic it would make sense it's the 6s.

weary thorn
#

Works out fine

exotic spoke
#

So basically 18 seconds ICD?

warm plinth
#

I just logged a couple minutes of it; gonna see if that checks out

exotic spoke
#

Because otherwise we cold proc the shit out of that

terse wedge
#

Our guild just basically got over myth radiance and we were theory crafting some strats

exotic spoke
#

between taunt, intervene, IP, casting on GCD, etc

terse wedge
#

For azshvane

warm plinth
#

I feel like even if it has the 6 sec ICD it'd be better than Overclock yeah?

exotic spoke
#

It would be 18 second ICD

warm plinth
#

That's 3ppm

exotic spoke
#

12 for the effect, 6 for the second effect yeah?

warm plinth
#

Yeah

exotic spoke
#

.667 APM*

ionic fern
#

Try it and let us know @warm plinth deswind

weary thorn
#

But that's only 6 sec of negative, wouldn't you just count that as the icd for computation purposes?

exotic spoke
#

sorry .667 APM*

#

but 12 second of buff and then 6 seconds after is how I read it @weary thorn

weary thorn
#

Right I get it, maybe I misunderstood what you were asking about

#

That's insane uptime if true

exotic spoke
#

I could see the ICD being 12 or 18

#

we'll basically proc it every 18 seconds without trying

ionic fern
#

Real question tho

#

Where did you even get it.

#

Dropped from HM Mechagon

It has same uptime on prot and fury

exotic spoke
#

havent seen it before is all im saying

oblique garnet
#

Of the top of my head i dont remember it

warm plinth
#

Soooo

#

It has an 18 second ICD, but the real negative is that it doesn't start counting abilities again until you lose the debuff

oblique garnet
#

Its good punchcard

undone sun
#

interesting

ionic fern
exotic spoke
#

really?

oblique garnet
#

Iirc you can prestack it

Still weird.
Side effects are like "Increses damage taken by x% and reduces healing received by x%".

strong forum
#

Depending of corruption

#

And you can get 'corruption resistance' too

I guess side effects are threshold based

We'll see.

another wednesday and another tough decision

Should I switch the breastplates?
If I go for the 450 I will be left with only von BOM

Doing m+ only sub 20 atm

What do you guys think?

#

von = one BOM

strong forum
#

Pick blightborne on your 450 instead of CR

#

Then take the 450 chest

#

And pick gutripper instead of crystalline carapace

Then you have a good 450 chest

Nice thank you

hmm I swear I remembered there was a pin about leech and avoidance gear, can't find it, anyone got a pointer?

hallow phoenix

Do you have a specific question about them

ionic fern

"If you have it on your highest ilvl piece, gz, use it. Otherwise it's pointless".

You're welcome.

hallow phoenix

Except for your speed set

You DO have a speed set right?

ionic fern

No. 😦

crystal dirge

Kiting reduces damage done.

Can't have that.

hallow phoenix

Kite?

crystal dirge

you can still clap while kiting

ionic fern

hallow phoenix

Speed helps you get to the next pack faster

true, gets you out of scuffy m+s faster too

hallow phoenix

Yeah

Can zone in to your favorite m+'s faster as well

crystal dirge
#

Asked btw cause I have been called out by 3 different healers for having less self heals than other warriors they play with, I had around 13-14k in all runs. They have been linking details of 20k-ish, and most of them had leech trait/gear

#

Probably not a big difference usually, it had to be for grievous

hallow phoenix
#

Leech never makes up a large % of overall healing

ionic fern
#

o.o

#

More likely stuff like:
IP, Last Stand usage , IV/RP/Vampiric

#

Etc.

#

Tell the healers "I'm a warrior not a BDK so fuck off".

My HPS varies so much dungeon to dungeon I never pay attention to it

I avg at like 8m. šŸ˜‚

hallow phoenix

Honestly have no idea how much I heal per m+

crystal dirge

I wasn't looking at it either until those crabs started calling it out xD became my obsession since

strong forum
#

Idk I get like 2-4mil from edict, 2-4mil from urchin

#

And like 6-10 mil ip

ionic fern
#

To answer your question:
1)Trinkets add a lot of HPS
2)Certain essences/traits add HPS
3)Skill usage adds HPS.

#

Leech itself is nothing.

hallow phoenix

Unless there's leech on like 8 pieces of gear

That doesn't include using Az traits

yeah

hallow phoenix

Now use lucid major

Most you should be able to get is 80% from the gear.

brittle owl

80% leech sounds spicy

hallow phoenix

What's the downside

sick sentinel

Yeah

hallow phoenix

With all those corruptions

sick sentinel

LMAO

ionic fern
#

Varies.

sick sentinel
#

100+% reduced healing

hallow phoenix
#

Hmmmmm

sick sentinel
#

Hmmmmm indeed

ionic fern
#

AND damage taken increase.

#

If you go high corruption

#
  • you start to look like a shadow priest
#

So that's a minus.

sick sentinel
#

Well the part that matters to the leech is the reduced healing

hallow phoenix
#

Run that and bring 4 self healing dps

sick sentinel
#

So you're getting all that leech, but you don't actually do it

hallow phoenix
#

Goodbye healers

#

Oh

#

Nvm then

sick sentinel
#

I mean, I'm pretty sure leech is impacted by healing reductions

hallow phoenix
#

Depends if it's a health transfer or an actual heal

#

Spirit link for example doesn't care about mortal wound effects

#

Why are we talking about leech. Can corruptions give speed

sick sentinel
#

nope

/grovel is the worst emote

also with the corruption reducing effect nyi, but looking to be added

this looks like legendaries v2

you'll prob be able to have 2-3 effects active without downsides

based on how that's done, it will make or break the system

Hello friends, noob tank here. I have a question about Underrot, how do we deal with the pack right before the third boss? The no cc emissary + dmg taken increase curse mobs

ionic fern
#

1)Keep Rooting it if you have a druid
2)Have someone taunt it away so you can kill other guys
3)Nuke it down and rotate defensives hoping for the best.

torn orchid
#

Thanks, pretty similar to my experience from a little ago in a +14 then. Though we didn't have anyone to root the emissary. Does our fear work on the emissary?

ionic fern
#

Stuns/fears work as well jeah.
But it has a max duration of 8Seconds per CC.

#

With no DR's.

torn orchid
#

Alright, thanks a lot!

sharp night
#

you can place the emissary on a hill so it doesn't affect the others with aura

#

since any z-axis difference disables the aura

#

the way my group does it is we pull all 3 of them to the hill on the side

ionic fern
#

Thought they fixed that..guess not then.

sharp night
#

i stand slightly up the hill

#

a dps/healer taunts the emissary so it runs up the hill past me

#

and when it reaches them i taunt it back

#

so the tides is on higher elevation than the other mobs

#

and we cleave all 3

#

while still getting kicks out

#

and we mainly focus 1 of the two casters first since you'll have to move if they drop the totem

#

and it's easier to manage kicks if you have all 4 people on one, tides itself isn't dangerous

Icy veins has a complete list of defensive trinkets assuming equal Ilvl

#

I mean, what content are you doing and do you think you need. It’s survivability

simple salmon
#

i do m+ as tank

#

depends on the lvl i get smacked

Do you think you need more survivability?

simple salmon

so for higher keys survivability would be nice

exotic spoke

What Ilvl is the edicts you have

simple salmon
#

430

exotic spoke
#

Personally I don’t think I’d use it, rezan is good and 5 levels higher. Then 20 Ilvls on vial

simple salmon
#

at all?

exotic spoke
#

I personally wouldn’t most of the time. Maybe motherlode.

#

I also think 1 defensive trinket is almost always enough and rezans fills that role

simple salmon
#

so i rolled it for nthg 😦

#

haha

#

but thx for the info

If it was a higher Ilvl I’d use it. Also the motherlode is probably when I would use it

But, you can try it out. What works for me may not for you. No harm in testing it

does somebody know if you get the expolsum (most) back from the 445 helm if you scrap it?

warm plinth

Pretty sure that goes for any crafted item, should be all of it.

vale kestrel

You never get all of the expulsom back

#

It’s close but definitely not the full amount.

coral marsh
#

thanks, then it was fine either way

hallow phoenix
#

@coral marsh The only traits that matter are 3x BoM and 1x DC. Could run literally anything else and do just fine. Could even run like 1 BoM and be fine

#

How you pull the mobs is the most important thing. Gear is secondary

exotic spoke
#

What are people’s thoughts on the new TF replacement based on what we know now?

strong forum
#

I like it

#

But I seem to be the only one

exotic spoke
#

Conceptually, there are some interesting points and things to try / expand

However, I think that another tier of loot will need to be added for m+. Because m+ was designed with TF in mind. If you don’t have it, then really m+ gearing for m+ progression is stupidly hard

The benefits.... yeah... gimme flash of clarity please

coral marsh
#

many people cried they arent special anymore from raid gear because of myth+

#

i disagree

jolly thistle
#

If you like to run high keys you’ll better raid mythic next season, if they don’t implement anything else instead

exotic spoke
#

I mean - I do both right now. But, m+ gearing was balanced around WF / TF

And next season is not looking good for mythic raid for us

#

But was hoping to still push content in m+

#

I hope they add another tier at like 15 or higher for mythic, or almost mythic level, loot

jolly thistle
#

They probably won’t, because you could farm it without a cap or something

exotic spoke
#

Having other options for end game being gated by raiding isn’t healthy either

sand egret
#

I have...thoughts lol

warm plinth
#

I'm not thrilled by the multiple levels of RNG required to get a good item

exotic spoke
#

That too

#

Go on blade

sand egret
#

Current stance is that the RNG fiesta, without a deterministic end will feel silly. It will raise the skill ceiling in the game, which is appealing. It will also further incentivize and distinguish a mythic raider for the rest of the plebs

warm plinth
#

Like you have to get the affix you want, you have to get a high tier, and then you have to get a low roll on corruption for that tier

sand egret
#

They need to add the second half, a deterministic element, to the system or yeah it's just way more muddled RNG

#

I love the nuance the trade-offs bring

jolly thistle
#

Idk I’m not really hyped for the corrupted stuff too. But can someone confirm that different tiers can roll on a mythic piece. Or are the tiers actually normal/heroic/mythic items

exotic spoke

The trade offs are fine. I don’t have an issue with that.

I have an issue with the fact that a progression system they put in place for small groups to do hard end game content is being nullified as a real valid option for end game progression

like an affliction warlock is going to be monster on some fights. You can go up to 60+ corruption and if they're good enough with their use of Burning Rush, positioning, and banishing the Thing from the Deep, they can reap the benefits of a shit load of haste stacking.

#

I love that shit

warm plinth
#

It sounds like it's just a random roll for the tiers, as far as how they explain it in the wowhead article

sand egret
#

making it harder to set that up to DO that....is where i'm really worried

warm plinth
#

Kinda like in Diablo how an item can roll ancient or primal ancient

sand egret
#

well it's more like a PoE system where you get tiers of a prefix and a suffix but the prefix is always the same, bad stat and the suffix is the good one.

#

and just like in that game, they should mitigate this buy currency to reroll tiers and stat ranges within tiers

warm plinth
#

I've never played PoE so I was drawing comparison to what I was familiar with

#

And since it's a Blizzard game I figured others may also be :p

sand egret
#

the Diablo comparison is the a legendary with "good" rolls vs "bad" rollls

#

and those stat ranges vary

hallow phoenix
#

Won't m+ gear being able to corrupt be equivalent to farming for benthic gear? Lower ilvl but you can endlessly grind for the corruptions you want. And only the really rng mythic raid pieces will be better (assuming corruptions are as impactful as benthic)

warm plinth
#

I was only comparing the tiers to the ancient/primal ancient, not the entire thing

sand egret
#

well primal ancients have fixed/maxed stat rolls

#

as that is the distinction of a primal vs a normal

#

so pushes up glasses it's different šŸ˜„

warm plinth
#

I'm aware. I was just saying that the tiers were random rolls, just like an item in Diablo can randomly roll 1 of 3 tiers (normal/ancient/primal ancient)

#

I wasn't saying the entire thing was the same

sand egret
#

yeah, i'm being difficult

#

i get what you're saying

#

@hallow phoenix yeah, basically it's benthic like you farm M+ for tokens for good rolls, but Mythic Raids are where you're going to get the already max ilvl upgraded benthic tokens....and hope for a good roll

warm plinth
#

But yeah, it's literally just a way worse benthic

#

Except the item level will actually be higher as well from the sounds of it

jolly thistle
#

The difference between a lucky vs unlucky player will probably get smaller. Even if you get multiple good rolls on items you probably won’t be able to equip all of them because of corruption

warm plinth
#

Yeah I mean, depending on your spec you may not even be able to equip 2 Tier 3 items

#

Since not every spec is gonna be able to deal with a random add chasing them for 10 seconds

#

But they did mention corruption resistance and shit so I'm sure that will factor in a decent bit

#

My gut instinct is that the corruption resistance is gonna be tied to the paragon trait on your necklace tbh

sand egret
#

i'd put money on that

warm plinth
#

Makes sense; the stronger the heart of azeroth gets, the more resistant to corruption

sand egret
#

or a raid-specific azerite trait as well

warm plinth
#

Yeah

sand egret
#

gain X main stat and Y corruption resistance

#

yada yada

warm plinth
#

Yeah I could see that

sand egret
#

interesting balancing questions now come up: Classes that deal better with higher corruption scaling disproportionately

warm plinth
sand egret
#

watch us get into a world where raids are just like "fuck it all our melee going to flex that tier 2 corrupted status and leech/sustain through the clouds". Suddenly good mobility/self-sustain is going to be more tied to overall damage output šŸ¤”

#

leech OP confirmed.

warm plinth
#

Nah man, havoc DH confirmed OP

#

Ez

#

The ultra leech spec

jolly thistle
#

Watching world first stream where all melees run circles around the boss will be fun

warm plinth
#

lmao

#

Or they just tank the mob, depending on how much damage it deals

sand egret
#

i bet it'll fear ya

#

so, zerker rage value?

#

šŸ™‚

warm plinth
#

lul

#

Good shit guys. And also I read it wrong; it looks like there's no item level increase for it

#

So if it is the replacement for titanforge, that means 10 level forge max

sand egret
#

so you want a WF + Corrupted?

warm plinth
#

Ideally a mythic raid WF+corrupted

strong forum
#

It'll prolly be wf

warm plinth
#

Since that'll have the highest base ilevel

sand egret
#

or is it either or

strong forum
#

Then above warforge its corrupted

#

Thats what I'm assuming

sand egret
#

yeah so you can get a 430 > 440 OR a 430 that is corrupted

#

for example

strong forum
#

Na

warm plinth
#

Imagine getting a warforge in mythic and being pissed because it didn't proc corrupted. Or it did but it procced the wrong affix, or the wrong tier, or the wrong corruption level šŸ˜‚

strong forum
#

I think corrupted is always +10

#

Always

warm plinth
#

Well, if it does my point stands though

strong forum
#

Yup

warm plinth
#

So literally the same place we are now except it'll have a larger impact on the raid if you don't get the right effect/tier/etc

sand egret
#

all I know is, we're missing a few key details i'm keen on learning

#

they'll prob be some clarifying blue post soon

strong forum
#

maybe theyre increased dropchance

#

who knows

#

the thing is

#

the effects are on multiple pieces, and hopefully not stackable

#

so chances are massive to get something useful

sand egret
#

the not stackable part would be huge

#

or else its crit damage or bust 😦

crimson furnace
#

my boys, what essences are u guys running this week?? talking about 15+ and higher

#

cheers!

potent anvil
#

Anyone done ptr keys? Warr tanks looking to be op. Spell reflecting spirit breaker back on a corrupted elite does like 800k dmg peepostudy

random urchin
#

I doubt Blizz will leave in a 800k dmg reflect. Just look at that Ra-Den reflect people found the other day. Blizz overlooks stuff all the time

potent anvil
#

Regardless of the damage, reflecting anything is op.

#

Even if it's like 100k damage reflect.

sand egret
#

I'm really interested in that affix and how it could create interesting comps

random urchin
#

Corrupted seems pretty interesting now that there’s info about each guardian. Definitely an upgrade over beguiling

sand egret
#

yeah with stuff like tremor for that fear break , specific dispels, and the such could shake up some strats as they could enable you to pull X guardian at the end where normally it'd be too hard. At least that's my hope

Anyone know if activating an obelisk is instant or a channel? Essentially I am thinking if it is possible to activate an obelisk along a route you don't plan on taking by a player clicking it from stealth and then SM/vanish while the rest of the party pulls it by actually entering from a different rift.

@potent anvil i love reflecting on third boss in shrine. And want to murder dps who kick when I call it out

Haven’t done ptr yet - but affix looks good.
