They can also cheese environmental shit that we can't
yeah there's not a lot of overlap really
mainly just castable debuffs
that you can reflect or ams off
also gorefiend
and grip
are very frequently amazing
now that we can't 1shot raden with SR
we're less desirable
You're less desirable
not possible
😉
i was already at the floor of desirability
Welcome to the underground
😡
aight I dont care about DK vs War
If either of us are going DK its gonna be my cotank & we're not going double dk
well BM is still prob better
but less so than currently
for prog tanking
i got less info on that tho
i was planning on running dh or pally but with the potential of my cotank going DK I dont wanna be double heal tank
& I don't wanna go monk
i'm quite sure prot will be very viable
just a little less forgiving to misplays
mbn to be able to afk a tank killer mechanic and live
i'd like to play prot, since I plan on maining one in m+ & honestly I'd rather not main 2 chars tbh
assuming dk isn't broken
that depends on how much dmg dks are doing
and busted SR
if dks are doing double dmg it doesn't matter how tanky they are
really? 1h doesn't seem that good
assuming we'll be around 8-900K HP
what's that 45K dmg to all targets in front of us
every 30 gcds or so?
475 ilvl gear
and stam scales harder than other stats doesn't it
as ilvl goes up
i still can't see wars being anywhere near 900k
Yeah I think it's pretty reasonable for us to be at least close to that
yeah thats about where my palas at
Once you're 470+ ilevel
kinda bummed that the proc on that weap doesn't scale with ilvl
485 8% of health plz plz
but i guess the corruption doesn't change so makes sense
ye
all of your dmg abilities scaling from mh dmg
- your higher HP scaling the proc
Yeah
@analog zinc on warri is 650k hp in raid
with new azerite and new gear vdhs will have 1mil+ hp, warri around 850-900k if not more
dh already has over a mill in meta
meanwhile DKs will be trying to get as low hp as possible
removing rings & not taking those 3% stam HoA traits
just so they can proc 2h more
and die to everything
you're already a dk
is any of their selfheals HP based?
na only dmg taken based
Well, technically if you take less than 7% of your HP in damage, your Death Strike would do 7% of your max health in healing.
That's the minimum for it
bdk's gonna be standing in everything
getting healer and dps parses on same pull lol
lol
Yeah I think once they get that weapon, guilds are gonna be raging on progression at their DKs for eating mechanics on purpose XD
BUT MUH PARSE
What are you playing these days sadbox
@hallow phoenix @daring marlin @distant crystal
415 Taloc Wrists
@distant crystal you still owe 100k btw, pay up
and we dont have >395 syringes
we have the wrists and sil had an example of a mythrax ring
i have this stored in a personal discord
@warm plinth Nothing
I was playing rogue/hunter, but I haven't logged on in a few months
BM is always a comfortable choice
Some things never change
Good utility and they do pretty well in M+
Like... leech
Well it's gonna be a fuckin dry few weeks anyway so
Coordinating 3 different raid schedules now :(
Though mostly similar it’s hard
Why 3 different schedules?
We’re basically done as a mythic causal progression guild. And so two people left - one on good and one on and terms (with the guild) and soooo yeah
Now... now I don’t know if mythic is happening next tier. So I wait and see
😢
RIP Bloodhoof
Why don't you guys just transfer the guild? Isn't that a thing now?
Zero mythic guilds now. All we do is reclear through ashvane. And if we have enough orgozoa.
Too much history on the server
Too many alts for people to bring over.
Fair
So yeah. The last three members of our push group (who haven’t left) are all officers. We made our opinion known - were fine staying with heroic only because of the people here as long as it doesn’t effect us pushing m+
Not many mythic guilds want a tank who only plays 1 spec
oh hi @near ivy
Everything
¯_(ツ)_/¯

Does anyone know the EXACT value of breaking down the 450 azerite pieces (that you buy from the vendor)
10k?
I kinda' wanna reroll my helm but if it's exactly 10k then I'm 2k short if I break it down.
If you're desperate for titan residuum you can buy the Benthic pieces and break them down right?
It’s not much per. Try a random heroic EP
you get what..300?
i think 400
k..think I might do that; because I got one of the worst possible helms I believe for prot.
I've been using it a week or so.. The overseer's Riot Helm.
So I'm weighing the odds of getting the identical, or worse helm...I don't think there's a worse helm?
It's got Iron fort..callous reprisal or tradewinds..then garbage inner rings.
I've been toying with tradewinds looking at it's uptime..it's not so great.
I think the only helm that's as bad/worse is the Soulspun casque.
Helm of the raptor king is pretty bad too..
radiance has a pretty good helm
and fairly easy to get into a pug that kills her
best pearl - resi ratio is base 385
its also fucking stupid to do unless you need like 100 TR
well how little do the 385's give?
I'll need about 2k resid
I may have some stuff in bank I can do..plus a world quest one I can dump right now.
Then the other issue is, the likelyhood of actually getting a superior helm. There seems to be 6? total helms, in that table. 1 of course would be the same helm, 2 of them being ? slightly better/side grades..then 3 helms with Bastion.
so I have a 50/50 shot of getting something I really want...and basically 100% chance I don't get anything worse.
(let's be real..it's 100% chance I literally get the same helm I already have..lol)
I had some banked 435's
there ya go
I'm such a hoarder for gear because I've been trying to sim tons of stuff for fury lately
ah the 435's are straight 2k..what I needed.

Thanks Star
deepfakes
Almost time to be disappointed once and possibly a second time
Yeah, 35 TR for base benthic helm, 200 for 1 upgrade worth..so 1 upgrade worth is the best yield.
@hallow phoenix thanks for actually using brain and searching messages in this disc 😂
Shots fired
thats not shots
he dmed me earlier saying thats how he found me
and thats why i sent the SS from earlier
I’m just instigating sorry
he unironically used brain
I can dump my pearls and hold on to my current helm; won't even have to scrap it.
❤️
what are you all on about now
We're still on titanforged uldir pieces from this morning
though its pretty much settled
yeah that was asked and answered at the time
big ups to @near ivy for the research ❤️
someone asked for proof
@distant crystal you know how you could thank me for that research right?
a big wet kiss?
He want dem monies~
if you want a kiss off this guy you gotta pay at least (purely for example purposes) 100k gold
@fringe marten i cant even get the monies, the monies are on NA and im EU
i just want to see him pay up
non-transferable
you said the gold was on sargeras
im also psure your ally
derpingtoast can make an ally char on sarg and take the gold

🎻
Is haste drastically more important than crit, to the point where I'd start dropping significant ilevel for haste?
Don’t drop Ilvl. That’s more important
haste is good for survivability
crit is better for dps
yeah ilevel > everything basically
Take whatever is highest Ilvl and if it’s equal Ilvl take what gives more haste
except maybe if you have a socket and comparing to something 5 ilevels higher
this is for mythic + aoe tanking
for single target raid dps, you want full benthic gear
and versatility
or whatever sims highest - but highly likely it's versa
Yeah, my tank alt is for M+
I guess I keep forgetting that crit does give parry, which is a nice stat too
Haste is still usually better overall
when you balance the defensive aspects and offensive
is there much difference between a 445 shield vs a 440 socket?
block value
take teh 445 msv. You know this
I meant you should know about the ilvl > * for shields
Im just asking how big the difference is
idk how to calculate like how much more a meele hit would be reduced by with 300 more block
I'd have to math it out but I'm going to bet its pretty nice.
BV / (BV+K) where K is defined by the content. Thats the % of damage you block
If you look up k values you should find a list
And if you have anything that adds to your BV you need to include it to both the numerator and denominator
Yah i just did a 3/8 pug and i didnt get shield 😦
I noticed if i drop my 440 to a 430, its roughly 550 less block rating, but the block % goes from 27.05 to 26.58
is that 0.5% block that significant?
it'd also change based on target because of K value
Yeah, its going to be like 5% increase in content
for a 430- 445 if I remember off the top of my head
as far as shield goes definitely go with ilevel
Yah i pretty much only care about m+, im sure the 440-->445 is still solid upgrade
yah I'll have to roll for a 445 next week
MSV that 27.05 is the block chance, not the block value.
the block value is how much damage a block filters, the half a % you cited is block 'chance' which is barely relevant.
But the block value is very relevant.
Because every time we hit 'shield block' or 'last stand' (with proper talent) the block chance is set to 100%.
omg im retarded
it goes down because the other shield has mastery
but yah the 300 block difference I think would give me 1-2% extra block value
and armor which is good too
Is null dynamo worth in waycrest this week?
Yah its worth
I think people don't realize how much damage null dynamo does; take a look at how much damage it does in any zone that tosses even occassional magic damage. (yeah it's not optimal for a lot of zones but in places where you face frequent magic damage it's hoss)
..oh yeah it also saves you a lot of damage too...but we're tanks so we don't care about surviving~ that's for like..healers to think about.
Brace for Impact vs Bastion of Might on Azshara (going for defense)?
If it matters I have two ranks of bastion already on my other pieces
435 crit haste bracers with siocket trump 440 vers crit bracers?
Yes @sick sentinel
Hello. This might be a stupid question and all that, but are there any ineractions on spellreflect and bursting? Sometimes I feel like it completely negates the damage and sometimes I feel like it has no effect? I'm not very good but it would be good to know when the next bursting week rolls out.
It mitigates the damage like any other magic effect.
Reduces it by 20% or 25%; whatever the tooltip of SR says. I can't remember off the top of my head.
Would it be possible to 'reflect' a stack of bursting just as it pops? Or just as the flat damage reduction?
Nope, not possible to reflect bursting
Okey thanks for answering my question
Also I got another stupid question regardinf bursting. Dors IP have any effect of it, or is the percentage it does on u based on ur 'pure' health and ignores IP
Sorry for my poor grammer
It does not ignore IP. IP would reduce it by 50% like anything else until IP is consumed.
Okok ty
Daily reminder wowA is valid for prot warrior
Callous Reprisal or 2x def crash
More damage or more damage reduction which are you looking for @void hill
tanking zaq with a brm, still best move for warrior to MT?
Alright, did my one key for the week with @oblique garnet's support. Fuck this week now 😄
rofl
is there a trick to tanking mythic radiance as prot warror? my tanks are getting clapped in the add phase
You can't block it's all magic spam that IP and cds
Tell your group to CC and interrupt more 👌
also blast the adds harder
also shockwave and intim shout when they're casting
spell reflect on cd
and use shieldwall there
I tanked it on my prot pala, seems easy to me 
dirty fury warr
Quick someone change his name to Pallywind

Now I really want that Marok emoji, because it'd be big
😉
Rofl
@kindred plume either your prot warriors aren't using IP or your healers are just bad
or both
How good is the raidbot sims for essences?
What's the likelyhood we will use the same essence build in 8.3? (M+)
@vital plover what do you mean more exactly?
Most essences are implemented -there are some things that are not implemented fully like CnS major etcs.
What I meant was if I sim for pure DPS essences, is IT accurate enough that I should follow them?
The reson I ask is because I get different results than the guides. I guess the guides go for a middle ground between surviveability/DPS?
Is the content youre doing trivial? If yes no harm in going for damage
Guides are more focused on the "middle ground" indeed.
If you sim for ST dps then you should have CoF/Null r3/ CnS pulling ahead for example.
WR ?
Worldvein ressonance
VoP major + sphere and aegis/CnS/lucid is a solid combo for m+
Sims dont work that well for m+ since majority of how you do damage in m+ is based around in what kind of pulls you do
Yeah true
hi guys - i am new to tanking. I am starting to push highish keys but keep loosing aggro to high dps players
I need a neat nameplate and aggro addon if we have any?
Plater
Plater
Thanks and what does that do? - just tried to import and it come up with error
Never run WR in keys. Because you're constantly moving, you're never getting any decent duration out of your shards.
imported to plater?
no to WA - the string
there wasn't one posted
hmm what is this then https://wago.io/JiR9M4seP
Wago.io is a database of sharable World of Warcraft addon elements
im confused - i am literally a complete novice
it's for the addon plater
It's a string for plater, not for weakaura
whats the determining factor for not getting the debuff from aka'ali's debilitating backhand?
block/dodge/absorb ?
dodge/parry roll

so shield block or IP wont really higher my chances of not getting it then right?
UI is subjective
p much
but there are good addons like tellmewhen or threatplates that always helps
i think my UI is okayish
what would you say are the mandatory weak aura's for a prot war?
just that one?
Even then, it's not really mandatory. There's no such thing as mandatory WA's.
You can do completely fine just off base ui with not a single addon. It's hard, but you can do it. People get to CE with base ui.
UI and weak auras are pretty much personal prefrence. If you can get all information you feel like you need through your current UI, then its good.
You will also never be completely happy / efficient with someone elses UI/WA set. You've got to make your own for it to be perfect.
It's good to trial a bunch of different UI and WA builds to get an idea of what you want and what you can do, then make your own.
I have the SR WA but never pay attention to it, its by no means necessary if you already know what you can and can't reflect
Ye I have fragnances UI then edited it a bunch, made the entire WA pack I use myself and only took inspiration from others
@south osprey get the BFA dungeon pack to WA and move the buffs/debuffs so you can se them easy then bigwigs or dbm for timers
Also you can search for prot WA for your cds so you know when they are rdy
Hello, which Azerite armor slot is most likely to roll a DC trait?
Chest or shoulders.
Easy way to check is:
https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/protection-warrior-pve-tank-azerite-traits-powers-and-armor
Scroll down to the bottom and select "Deafening crash" it will show you all the pieces that have it.
Thanks!
@ionic fern 🐀
mwahi does thyme play wow yet?
😦
Do you?
Come back and get Thyme back also..
so i COULD...

Time to come and play again..catchup is decent but new grinds in 8.3
i also wanna play 2 other games
that outer worlds one
and rdr2
but my video card isnt good enough :/
what video card would i need to play those games on medium?
I honestly have no idea since i haven't touched them so not sure about the requierments.
Well,google says 770 for rdr2
If u can afford a 1070 get that
I got my 1080 for 550€ last year, how tf is 1070 900 now
For 900 I can almost get a 2080ti
Rip USA
A 1070 is def not $900
2070 isnt even that much
Unless u live in Alaska or something
Are you really living if you’re in Alaska though?
it is 900 in canada
RIP
F
That's horrible
That's like wiping after the last boss of Motherlode jumps out of his machine
Worse actually. It's like wiping when he's at 70% health after he jumps out of his machine
so frustrating
That would crush me
Were already so many pulls into him if we wipe that low I will kms
yeah it crushed the raids spirits too i think, we didn't get to 10% again that night
What was your lowest pull before that?
Omg
Damn man
yeah but 4% wipe is like, okay we need a few more ppl to do better
a 0.2% wipe
is like...
we need one person to cast 4 more spells
L
but whatever, hopefully we will get it tomorrow
New raid strat; when boss gets that low, all the classes with immunities use them and get that fucker down
how many pulls yall got on him?
177 🙂

haha
Hey 177 isn't that far past Method, tbf
Fair but we have so much more gear lol
They had 169 wipes on him
Don't think about that
For future reference, when you're progging Azshara, they had 356 on her
Be a glass half full guy
Yeah the wipe count isnt too bad yet just feels like we haven't made any progress last couple nights
Raid lead keeps changing the strat which is the problem imo
What's your best pull Speg?
24% we keep wiping to 2nd manic dread
Well if it makes you guys feel any better, my best pull is not even pulling the boss in LFR. So you're lightyears ahead of me
Speg, the crazy thing about zaqul is that his health on the pulls go 90 50 50 40 90 30 40 50 9040 50 4 50 30 40 30 0.2
like a tneticle early wipe
then a somewhat good pull
then an early wipe
then an early wipe
then BAM OMG WE ALMSOT GOT HIM
Yeah fun boss to prog lmao
then an early wipe
Just a rollercoaster
tbh it's demoralizing me for Queen ashara lol
Agreed
if it took mehtod 4 times the amount of pulls
Im losing faith in my guildies
We on court rn so I haven’t had the opportunity to slam my head against zaqul
didnt azshara get a lot more nerfs than zaqul tho?
Idk if theres time for 800 pulls before patch hehe
oh thats a really good point brayn
and she will hopefully get another nerf before it's over
@tame garden get used to it lmao as a tank 99% of the time you’re waiting for everyone else to get the fight down
And I mean they said worst case 8.3 would be March
So I think there’s plenty of time lmao
Sure if it's that late then no worries
nah its gonna be mid january i'm convinced
Doubtful
But January patch is also possible so gotta plan for that
I think they’re gonna take as long as they possibly can to dial on corrupted gear properly
Azshara is supposedly easier than zaq now
Griff, just remind ur guild that court is the SAME stuff every time. That fight felt more like syncronized swiming than a video game.
we had trouble with court for a while, maybe like 80 pulls?
Wiping to court is the most tilting thing ever
Well that’s a lie
Cuz it's sooo easy
yeah i felt the same way nomeraur lol
The week before but this last week we didn’t have enough people to actually down it so we just got familiar with mechanics
like, why are we fucking this up?
zaqul on the other hand has a lot of RNG with the tenticles and ME zones. when they overlap it's just super frustrating
Anyways, my reasoning as to why they’re probably going to take as long as possible to put out the patch is because it seems they really want to make corrupted gear the next system for gearing and they want us to like it, because they mentioned at blizzcon that gearing in the next expansion is going to depend on how corrupted is received
Its spell queueing that makes zaq wannabe rng
Yeah court was ez pz imo
And they probably also want to make sure Nyalotha is dialed in properly as well because we’re potentially looking at another SoO 12+ month raid tier
Blizzard had better perfect the corruption shit, becuase I "want" to like it. But as it sits now, it seems like a lot of ppl could be in RNG hell waiting for drops.
Probably not actually that long but I’m fairly certain after 8.3 drops that’s gonna be it and all hands on pumping out Shadowlands and since it seems so early in development there’s a lot of work to do
was real fun watching spirit link get dropped
and then expire
and then dread goes out

Lmao
Speg yeah the 2nd manic is super difficult to handle
thats the one where we go up to normal realm to dorp our stacks, so like the transition is just always nuts
Yeah it's definitely the hard part so I dont mind wiping there
Just wish we reached it more often to healers can practice
THAT
is so fucking true. it's like shit team, we need to be more consistant. i know there are hard tenticles to deal with sometimes but my god
Last 2 weeks we've started charging gold for each tentacle hit
🙂
10k to gbank each time
lmao
shit fucccck that lol!
even i get hit sometimes.
like uh, the 2nd ME for our group, which is 3rd dread i think
always lines up with tenticles
so SOMETIMES, the dps zone is RIGHT on top of the tenticles
and it's super difficult to get the three delirium realm stuff in a safe area, while keeping boss in ME, while dodgeing that tenticle
i can do it almsot every time now
but maybe 1 in 22 pulls
i'll get hit
XD
aka last night
Yeah that's an excusable circumstance to get hit
last night was our first zaq prog night
i got hit 8 times xD
but our warlock got hit 16 times and usually survived it, fucker
Swapping from DK to Warrior for M+, hovering around 19-20's currently, looking to go further. I see several Prot warriors run C&S major, yet the Icy Veins guide says its "simply not worth using", am i missing anything here
c&s major is good for necro week
Getting hit early prog is fine
180 pulls in is not fine 🙂
yeah there's a couple recruits that already killed it
i can feel their frustration
lol
Oof reprog zaq that would be a sad time
Reprogging Zaq third time atm, its very enjoyable
reprogging?
Sending thoughts and prayers
Yeah reprogressing
Like killed with 1 guild then swap to new guild that didnt kill yet
More like finished the tier with 2 different guilds raiding in a third
or killed with 1 guild then lost a grip of players and new recruits love hentai
Rather do Zaq than Azshara lmao
that'll do it too
yeah i'm really not looking forward to the azshara fight
Bug ridden shit fight
i think jania was much more fun that QA
i'm playing spriest for last 3
so tempting to stand in the middle and dot everything
but dodging is hard there lol
unpopular opinion, but i also thought ghuun was fun
Theoretically, yes
never killed g'huun 😦
As an actual boss with all the RNG and inconsistent push timers making the fight unreliable
we killed mythrax once and never went back into uldir
It was bottom 3 fights ever designed
but that was scuffed old guild
You pushed 2 seconds later than usual? Enjoy the boss casting all his spells in a completely different order making the fight significantly harder
No thanks
Its like Za'qul but worse
kinety you talking about AQ or ghuun
6½ minutes of afk with sub 2 minutes of fight yeah
Both
Both Za'qul and g'huun suffer from "Push 2 seconds early/late, timers COMPLETELY change"
ahh
makes encounters very unfun and creates stuff like the stop dps for 40 seconds on Za'qul
yeah
I don't remember pushing ghuun at a specific time
Or sit with the orb for 5s before dunking on G'huun
Pushing at wrong times would give you wave of corruption during blood feast
:thonk:
Or other very horrible overlaps
I dont recall anything about overlaps on that snooze fest
We never paid attention
Cuz it was never the reason for a wipe
Only MC or shit orbs were
Hi. Just started to play war tank a few week ago. I have one shoulder 435 with Deafening Crash, and i don't have this trait on any other pieces of gear, and one new shoulder 450 without it. Is it worth to still take the 450 piece? (i only do mm+)
Thx
np
Hi guys, I was looking through the bis trinkets on icy veins and was missing the offensive options especially for m+. is the sporepod thingy from underrot any good? i got in 440 from the chest
Hang on to it if you PvP @fading musk it’s really good
yeah i saw it in some videos
whats the big boss right now
Queen Azshara

how dare you disrespect diaper baby
trying to figure out if that was aqua teen hunger force or something like that
For all those people who find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than search it for themselves.
i play pokemon go but idont own a switch
tf you buying those old ass games for
only a phone
have you heard
unless pokemon game comes out for pc i cant get it
yeh but i gotta buy video card
why
Imagine not knowing how to hide previews
ghash
father thyme also taught me
what are you playing that you need a new vid card for cat
@undone sun We need to beat Nimchip; he's not learning our lessons
cause im gonna bet, nothing
i want outer worlds and rdr2
hoho good luck with rdr2 with ANY hardware
lol true tbh im tempted to buy a ps4 instead
i got friends with sick builds, that just absolutely cannot get into online
smh a ps4
whats wrong with ps4
and tlou2
Exclusives make me sad
my bfs daughter has been begging for a switch for xmas
i hope he gets her one
lolol
Boycott pokemon 
im buying both pokemon (a gift for my brother) on friday... and of course Fallen Order
the star wars game
o
gonna be an interesting weekend
ugh so i should wait?
xbone never hs exclusives right?
ty
xbone also has multiple versions
Xbox has exclusives
Well,
scorpio and regular
or any games for it
gears of war maybe
though... i think GoW is on pc too
yes
So would make sense to also put it on PC
I guess that makes it not an exclusive technically though
but yeah Xbone hasn't had any good exclusives
seems lke everyone owns ps4 not xbone
Most of the people in my company don't have Windows 10 yet
Delayed is better than a shit release
yes i agree
anyway company OS don't matter, you don't game in those anyway
i have 3 OSes
mac, windows 10, ubuntu
the big 3
Idk, why Linux though
cause i love linux for dev
Oh yeah you're one of those nerds
I have like 15 discs of different distributions in my car that someone gave me
Literally have never even looked at Linux
ok, go to your local recycler
i mean, you can just download a live cd and put it on a usb... or just virtualize it
o im excited for dying light 2 too
if only it had a socket 😦
this font
everytime :pepega:

that font is actually an attack on my eyes
cuz youre weak
this font is only for strong people
its not without reason called "big noodle titling"
why would I want my font to be like reading a barcode
would losing bastion of might for brace for impact be better for ST damage?
Speg trust me we've talked to him about the font
are there any fights next tier you'd take a war over a dh?
what essence set up are people using for mythic + ?
Vision, lucid, Anima (cause I don’t have CNS
But sometimes I use undying as a major - mainly high tyrannical keys
Anima minor? I've been using flame minor as my "I'm a lazy fuck with nothing better" 2nd minor
No Speg the undying gift that’s a 40% mitigation for a few seconds on a 45 second CD
Oh sorry you were responding my bad

😢
is sporepods any good in m+?
I just want a 435 and I'll be happy. Tired of running the same dungeons but I feel like stopping the spam would be admitting defeat
yeah i feel you
i got a 440 TD shield on chest last week
after how many weeks? :\
i did run 10 AD/ML quite a bit at the start of the season
Yeah I'm new to prot so cant complain too much yet
14 atals 15 motherlodes in the last 2 weeks, not as bad as I thought actually
i had to delete that because i remembered lurkers can be uninformed and not know that ilvl > all on shields
hold on
ok im trying my best not to be
chip
🙂
So is shield block useless against archers and magic attacks?
tooltip sais melee attcks so
archers yes, magic attacks no (with some specific exceptions)
err it works against archers
shit like "Shoot" and "Throw Rock"
like zul you would nevr shield block and just spam IP?
in KR? yes, SBlock is effectively not useful against his attacks. Good for making your SS hit harder
Pretty sure 1 tick of the dot will get rid of your ip instantly
if you were purely concerned on surviving, then IP spam is the move (same with the last two bosses in ML)
he in general just shreds
Bring a good healer or dh to skip him
just your typical boss-before-the-boss
He’s a bitch and I hate him
I’m happy we can skip him until 8.3 since I run with a dh
so, how does this skip work?
the dh pulls it and dies?
going over whatever invisible wall they can? They pull it into the boss room then?
dh goes around zul, doesnt pull it, then does jump puzzle abuse cuz of double jump, gets into boss area that should be locked off, dies to boss, gate is open group walks around zul then into boss room and resses
Lately I've been using a macro to have a button cast shout and then thunder clap if shout's on cooldown. Lately I've been wondering if this is a stupid idea, but I dont know if there are times where its beneficial to hold off on casting shout when it's off cooldown
demo shout?
yeah there's definitely times lool
besides T-clap is higher prio than shout during avatar
you wanna go
Avatar Clap Demo Clap Revenge Clap
also you'd want to hold off a few seconds to get it sync'd up with avatar
if it comes off cd just before
Right, I should have thought of avatar...
Still learning why parts of my rotation are important
Hey guys , just got a 450 back, have one 440 with socket equiped, wich one to choose ?
Sorry to correct something
You don’t want to hold off on demo shout for avatar. That’s a Loss or rage and therefor a loss of CD reduction
Use it almost always on cooldown or shortly after (ie right after a clap
probaly the 450
would you use Urchin (445) or Edict (430) on magic for za'qul mythic? I could use both, but trying 1 offensive trinket atm (rezan 445)
So do you think I should cast clap or demo first once I've casted avatar? Before being told otherwise I thought I should be casting demo first to get the full 6 second duration from thundering blows
as long as you're getting the full benefit of urchin it'll always be better than an equal ilvl edicts
@gray wave You should do Avatar>Clap>Demo>Clap, etc. You could cast Demo halfway through Ava and still extend it the full 6 seconds; you only need 5 globals to extend it the maximum amount (TC>something>TC>something>TC)
Got it, thanks a bunch for the help
Also @proven vault Zul does melee so Shield Block isn't entirely useless defensively against him.
oki, thanks
@sand egret Zul skip, for your viewing pleasure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=by6-Fv3Wr3g

made a spreadsheet for tank loot next tier
(note loot tables are unfinished)

Where are you seeing blood weapon in the war section? I must be blind
