It’s not a matter of ease Nike.
The game isn’t hard. The game has never really been hard
I agree that it was almost the other way around last season
you kinda had to m+ to get the best gear for raiding
and you had to do +10s.
DH still do
Prots still do
Why you gotta mention that Riki
I suggest just up the rewards for 25s or smth
Your bis stuff is from M+
Cause you don’t raid ghash
It’s a lot less important for tanks Nike
It's just as important as any other; and the point still implies. Your BIS stuff is from M+
same as fury, furys gear comes from M+
and arms
even if its 10 ilvl lower?
This has been gone over many times before
Sorry, how are you defining prots BiS?
Defensively and offensively
What stats?
Yeah, what stat priorities are you using as your guideline for what should be bis
For prot
wait, we talking about azerite now?
No, it wasn’t obvious
🤔
Why would prots care about stats
Could be trinkets could be stat pairs at certain Ilvl. Could be weapons / shields whatever
Cause more haste is more better (assuming equal Ilvl). Because I want crit too
And technically, for azerite pieces - you don’t need to do m+ at all
So wtf we talking about here 😄
I’m honestly lost as you’re bouncing from topic to topic
We have never talked about azerite
Then you should clarify and specify because no one else understood that
Oh well 🙂
But you don’t have to do M+ for those 😛
It may be faster - but you certainly don’t have to do them
residuum I suppose
Yessir
Lol
Touché
I agree with what you’re saying Bromigo. It was talked about a bunch in the time leading up to the patch. Removing Titanforging (good or bad - thaTs a different conversation) was going to have lasting effects on M+ rewards
Maybe they got it right, maybe they didn’t. But it certainly feels like I need to mythic raid this tier instead of wanting to mythic raid last tier
There’s a difference there in consumer perception which is important
Yeah. It feels like a shitty patch to come back to if you only wanna do m+ like me
I guess I will give it a go
I'm jus super scared im gonna start looking for a raiding guild
A, prots already very defensive. So being a little slower to gear up isn’t the end of the world
B - the raid BoE items include a shield which huge defensively
So if you have gold and bad luck you can remedy your bad luck
C - dps wise (since our survivability is mostly dictated by proper play) Corruption will play a huge role in that
Two for BS. So while you may not be as defensive you can be pretty Tanky and get more chances at better corrupted gear and output more damage
What slots can you craft for BS and what pieces are BoEs? if you dont mind me asking (if you know)
Oh I think there’s a BoE ring too
Legs and belt for Bs
I can’t remember for the boes other than shield and I think ring
Tbh, then its super fine
ye well since someone mentioned you could only realistically wear two currpoted pieces?
Depending on the pieces you could wear more. Less powerful pieces have less corruption. And as you progress you get more resistance and can wear more
Then, after you mess around with M+ - you can decide if and when you want to raid and find the right guild (if you choose to)
But, while I shared the same thoughts you did, I’ve felt better as the patch approached and more info came out about the BoEs, details about corruption, etc
So I’m pretty optimistic about it all
And I hope you are too man
Aight, thanks for changing my mind and ruining my life
Well shit. When you say it like that
Was so close to uninstalling. Damn you
xD
Skyhold, icy veins (now updated by Mwahi), are some great places for warrior specific info. Reddit can have some information that’s good. But watch out for that Riki guy. He can be a jerk
who
Sorry, NotRiki
Now, I should head to bed. I got distracted by this after talking to Mwahi.
So nighto!
What do we think lads
play with CNS major and experience the vers 
Whats considered the best guide for prot m+?
Is there even a guide
Just learn how to play your spec to the fullest and learn routes on your own and you'll gain experience
watch streamers
so with formless void, does it even copy irus beam?
There is a guide on wowhead. I just wanted something to get me going with the "best" default settings..
Is that the Lepan one?
Lepan quit ages ago 👀
Yeah, but his 42.5% mastery story remains.
last update from Lepan on that was 28 March 2019
might wanna ask yo boi @candid path about that
HEY, I'M FARMIN AP OVER HERE!
imagine not being done with AP already
Imagine being 71 neck level
and farming AP without a guild? or did you find a new home?
I'm not 80, I'm not done.
I just hit 70 AP 😦
FeelsInactiveSinceAugustMan
complete a normal dungeon?
But yeah, breakpoints for Mastery is just... pffffft.
I mean, it's true, damage reductions from all sources have a cap
Wasnt that the whole with bastion of might aatar thingie
@gaunt dawn you 80 neck yet ? 🙂
I have 75 on warrior boutta hit 77 on monk 
🏝️
no life
Plan what?
Oh shit, i thought you ment that picture as a "vacatioN".
😂
But it's ment as Islands-.
I managed to do 4 islands yesterday.
Getting there.

Wtf late
The 70-75 grind isn't that bad.
wdym im chilling
How? 🤔
What he is doing
71 neck
Yes?
Is preventing further hair loss
lul
^
Having 2-3 hours max to your own per day to deal with various things so like..1h per day for WoW's ingame activities over various chars.
Poor mwahi
Bless
So wouldn't call it sandbagging.
Hey, at least the requirements got nerfed.
Ye, otherwise I'd never come back
Tho, soon i'll get more time to play WoW so i can get that 75 neck. 
hey guys is the nulification dynamo really that good?
rank 3 is great dmg vs magic dmg afaik
Jeah,you should definitely get it at r3. 🙂
i have it at rank 2 atm
Get them mechagon wq's done 🙂
my BDK has rank 3 😛 so does my monk but my guild wanted a prot war so here i am lol
so i was lookin at tank notes and i hope prot wars are going to get trucked this new raid
O_O
lol
but for real i saw some of the bosses had some magic dmg is that gonna be a burden that is gonna make prot wars work harder than the other tanks?
But don't worry. We'll be fine. There's still enough physical damage that we excell at and we have more than enough tools to deal with Magic damage.
Just get r3 of null as well and it'll be fine.
Remember that all tanks struggle with magic damage.
We won't have to "work harder". If you know when to use what CD wise you'll be fine.
ah alright
my other option would be to go guardian druid buuuut they less cd's than wars O_o
They'll be fine as well. 🙂
oh nice nice btw is using devastator more of dps increase vs booming voice? where as BV is more defensive?
Devastator should be used ONLY for ST damage purposes.
BV is the better option offensively as soon as a 2nd target comes into play - it also provides you with more rage if used properly (on CD).
ah ok thats what i figured
also what are you guys using for a 4th essence? i don thave mine unlocked yet but i just wanna get a good idea
Depends what content are we talking about.
Oh fuck I just realised I dont have conflict and strife
er raid wise content
Raid DPS wise:
CoF major, CnS/Nullr3/WV or Formless Void if you need the resistance
cof?
Crucible of Flame
Worldvein
oh really?
Do I actually need CNS for m+
been using lucid rank 3 as a minor with dynamo and perfection as major
Like, visions, lucid dreams, nullification and aegis would suffice
I should just find another game I think
You can use VoP minor as well in raids ofc instead of WV.
@ionic fern wv is fixed?
wasnt sure is the extra vers would help or not
@nova gale you don't "need" it but it's a solid choice. Others include Lucid/Aegis/Sphere.
@sweet summit there's still some schenanigans surrounding it.
But its good enough?
hmm
when did they make heroic throw instant
when has it not been instant 👀
imagine sitting there, ramping up a throw like thor
2s cast time
someone is remembering shattering, not heroic throw i guess
Shattering Throw had a cast time, yea
some idea for prot essences in S4 ? i mean for the 4th
one of the new ones for the corr resistance
probably the void one
if you don't have enough corruption items to warrant that, just use whatever really
How are teh mechagon rings for Prot?
Amazing if you get the haste proc one
Some people argued that even the base 415 haste proc ring was still better than 450s
Does the void essence stack its effect? I mean at the beginning of a raid encounter when everyone uses their essences does it just rockets through the sky?
Also, mechagon rings. Which conditional procc ring is best? Like, 3 abilities on one target?
Logic loop of recursion and overclocking bit band
Use 3 different abilities on same target, get a haste buff
Ye so that will technically be a 100% uptime
so unless you can get 2 rings that will net you more than 160 haste it will be worth
true dat
There is a 15 second cooldown on the rings, but its still very close to 100% uptime
Yeh
One is heavy haste, the other is heavy crit
Great stats for m+ ooeeeh!
Morning, people! Are vulperas any good to tank?
Yes, but just once
Do you like to be tiny and furry?
Yes - Vulpera
No - Not Vulpera.
anyone know if the m+ affix rotation is gonna continue/stay the same with the reset?
Currently the pillars are fixed, but 2 of the lieutenants behind the pillars swap on a two-week rotation.
(that's the latest info I'm aware of)
Hey folks,
my Edict of the Faithless never dropped during Mythic Progression / Reclears. Because of that i'm still sitting on a 435 forged HC Version. Now to my question: Since i know this trinket is really really good and the new tier doesnt offer good trinkets compared to this tier... im curious how long people will stick to it? i mean. Even if the new tier trinkets are mediocre will their ilvl be enough to outlvl a mthic edict? or am i doomed to hell like other specs that still use BoD Trinkets cause they will be BiS untill forever?
And if so: How am i supposed to find mythic farmraids to keep on grinding Queens Court Mythic when the new raid is out? guess im just unlucky but i was wondering wether my tankmates here have some opinions about the weight of my bad luck.
I don't even have a edict. 👀
Don't worry too much about farming old tiers because these trinkets are not "mandatory" to have. You will be just fine doing the content without them.
There are also Mythic+ trinkets that are solid all-arounders like Rezan's that you can get at a decent ilvl if it drops.
i should add to this that i enjoy raiding as much as i love pushing keys and that i got almost every other trinket on (nearly) mythic ilvl to work around. so i know its not the end of the world. but what are we looking for in the new raid in terms of trinkets for m+ / raiding?
Wrathion trinket looks decent
The new tank trinkets from raid in general are "meh" and not worth looking at.
There are some decent STR trinkets like the Humming Black Dragonscale which provides a low haste proc on a high PPM.
I'll be still sticking with my Coral/Inkpod for most of progression most likely for example. 🤷
Ye u dont generally need defensive trinkets for raid
yea sure
but i would love to have some for high m+ keys

@ionic fern so we're heading back to our good old friends in the m+ loottable i assume?
Most likely jeap.
Jeaaah, that looks scuffed
hey so im gonna try to make the 445 alchemy trinket today.... any opinions?
There's also Torment in a Jar that looks promising AoE DPS wise.
And Hi.. btw.. sorry posted that without a comment. Was following the channel for a while now, great to be here and reading all your Warrior comments.
@errant oriole if you got no other trinkets for now it's a solid replacement.
Poor warriors cant even loot their bis int trinket
well im wearing 425 alchemy one and the shield bubble one out of KR as a 435
Mchimba or w/e?
ya mchimba
That's horrible. 👀
Yes, it is.
oh crap 😦
You have what you have. 🤷
Loot RNG. : )
Don't worry about it too much tho. You can still use it - there are just better options out there from m+ trinkets.
^
No need to sweat it
i have 430 fang from temple
😛
hate to ask but where do i go to learn the new recipes for professions?
i know its not a warrior question 😦
oh god its a drop?
honestly man the item level scale to 445 with anything over a +6 starts today and next week the item level cap increases to 470 for a 12-14 and 475 for +15 completed so if anything use this week to hunt some decent M+ trinkets from +6's and go from there
is there a list of trinks i can go by?
Is all I would really worry about myself, and there are a few dps trinkets that are optional from raid but for M+ we will most likely go back to our old reliable trinkets from M+ as already stated above
There are not no, only purchasable trinkets they are will be the ones that are crafted so I would hunt M+ trinkets from +6s and above and see what you can get to fall from raid if you go in today.
Honestly nothing you can craft would reliably be comparative to the item level you could get from even Normal Nyalotha until heroic crafting is unlocked through quests really I think
From m+: the 2 first are preferable, the 2 last are "decent".
Rezan's Gleaming Eye
Gore-Crusted Butcher's Block
Jes' Howler
Animated Blood
But exactly as Mwahi just posted those are solid M+ trinkets, and have been a constant this expac
dang i have a 420 gleaming eye
Morning Prot chat
👋 🐻
👋
How goes everyone?
Gonna be a long day at work waiting to play




Rude
@waxen cradle so the strategy once servers are back up to gear is to try and do M+ keys, +6 or more?
EV?
Echoing void
And yeah for gear poochootrain. Don’t forget to dk the major assault, minor assault and daily visions too though
Major and minor assaults are not daily, correct?
OOOH is EV the best Corrupted ability that a Prot Warrior can get? not even the "taking damage gives you haste" ability?
EV is the best Aoe damage
We don’t need a lot of extra survivability as it comes from proper play. So if we can get some amazing dps some people value that over survivability increases
how much artifact power do we get on reset if we have completed a 19 key this week ?
Gotcha, thanks for explaining @exotic spoke . And the corrupted items only drop from the raid or horrific visions?
Items from M+ can corrupt too
^^
Trinkets are the only things that cant corruption forge iirc
wowA got a new feature come see your rage gained from lucid major and minor
WoWA is great
oh shit..he's rewriting history
Nope not at all
👀
How do yall like the patch?
I'm loving it since all tank essences are trash meaning 0 wowA work
that wont stop ppl from using them, silly
This tbh
The amount of people iv seen adamant about needing a cheat death
Honestly really enjoying it - despite not getting any corrupted pieces so far (other than good ritual)
its skittish week and how dare you question them
very big. 6 dps per corruption
I mean, I was apparently wrong for suggesting people do more than the bare minimum in Horrific Visions
You guys don't know the true struggle
mw got updated to make a talent valid
Talent is when you rising sun kick things happen
there is a ww trait we can use to have a chance when you Rising Sun Kick it happens again
its not a true Rising Sun Kick so it doesn't trigger the talent
I wrote a guide saying that the trait does nothing
People keep asking it in peak so much we made a bot command to answer it
you just told us the true struggle so i mean, spoilers?
@sullen valve uwu
frostmourne hungers uwuw
leech is huge
its 3 times bigger than my next biggest weight for my pally
huge stat weights
leech crushing it
Are you excited for the new raid abe
But as a warrior Abelito
Oh good luck then!
Are yall excited?
In very hyped
Idk how the tanking looks
Yup - new guild too
Raid tanking for my first time
Ohh that should be fun speg
tanking will be simple but impactful this tier. I think itll be nice
dont have a fucking novel to read for each boss
Maut looks interesting to tank tbh
Vexiona bis
with the whole void zone interrupt
Can lazorbeam my raid
Lmao
Are you tanks here?
^havn't you heard? prot worst tank for raid
🤔
prot cancelled removing spec from game
(this is a joke for new ppl, don't take it seriously prot is fine)
But we bring dps
Warrior is for fite
(That isn’t a joke)
literally just now :kappa

@exotic spoke one of my tanks are
oof, i like how even in the wowhead article it said utility and ease of play
didn't even say survivability
and ppl extrapolate from that
@exotic spoke 🤔 So do the other tanks
isn't there a lot of magic damage coming up in the new raid?
Just hit spell reflect on cd
25% magic damage dr
Isnt there a lot of magic damage in every raid
You’re not wrong. But I bring more dps. In my head
Also not tru 
dpsdpsdpdspdspdspds
😡
But yeah there is significant amount of magic damage on the raid
Tanks are for tank not damage
Yeah im just saying in my head I’m always top tier (except Uldir - but let’s forget that place)
we healz two, don't forget RC omgz
^^
Anyway, good luck on the EV / IS roulette wheel and any raids y’all may have today
O.O so Raids are open at Normal difficulty this week?
nice! 445 for normal, that's cool. 460 for heroic is sweet but i havent played them on PTR or anything so id probably start on normal first
ilvl 433 should be ok for Normal, right?
yeah im not gonna jump into heroic until i have an understanding of how to tackle the bosses
Tank notes is a great resource if you've never seen it
going to it now 🙂
Boss guides written by tanks for tanks
Btw any ideas about the heart of darkness trait
love it. if anyone wants to party up when the patch is live to be the 2 tanks for a Normal Raid group im down
otherwise im gonna go do some work to pass the time 🙂
Heart of darkness, a good book and a great movie based off of it
What time does the new raid go live
whenever maintenance ends
1030 pst is current estimate
Ah I see
do you guys know what affix went live on NA perchance?:p
its not live yet
if it follows the cycle its... bolstering skittish fort
but tbd servers arn't up for another hour estimated
ohhh, didnt really calculate the difference, sorry, if you'd be kind enough to put it here if it's up
yah i can @ you
Yeah, and I don't feel like there's a good reason to reset it again tbh. They had to last time for the purpose of not having unbeatable overlaps in emissaries/affixes somewhat, but obelisks don't move and you kill the miniboss by itself anyway so it doesn't really impact the rest of the dungeon.
^ it SHOULDNT alter the pattern but, you know, blizz lul
Won't be surprised if they do (and I wouldn't mind seeing sang/quake not be a thing anymore), but they don't have to
quake nerf makes it a bit less problematic tho :p
I'm fine with sang quake if it's not also void
It still makes TD a shitshow regardless of void/nerf
quake nerf is only a nerf 90% of hte time
And TD is already bad enough on its own
3 melle groups in places like TD
Td is always a shitshow on sanguine
are gonna be much more cancer
Td is always a shitshow
#DeleteTolDagor
My last td of the season we pulled shit from a floor above and it pulled 3 packs to us
Delete tol tagor
Scripted combat does not work
It's a bad idea and they shoulda learned that by now
What’s the range of IS?
Asking, because of talking about TD. Will we have to worry about IS pulling through walls too?
im 415 prot war can i solo thrall? my first vision or go with team?
dont have veps for it
mobs are scaled to group size
I mean things attack through walls in TD so I could see IS hitting them.
And yeah. The mobs in horrific visions scale with group size. I just went and did them with my M+ group
would you run worldvein minor in raid
td is annoying xD
a bunch of people are apparently gonna be running it
I wouldn’t. I may run it as a major though. People are talking about how busted it is.
Guardian chat was blowing up about it a bit ago
i know for pally & dh it sims lower than cruc
hello, I want ask about essence when I have now 4 slot for keys which I need take for this week?
like 14-19 keys
Hello fella warriors
GL doing a 19 this weejk
@frail blade I’d recommend going full defensive. So Vision major and then pick 3 of lucid, sphere, CnS, and aegis. If you need corruption resistance grab one of the new ones
And for a 19, it’s just a weekly no leavers key. That’s it. If you have access to one you do it. I’ll be in a 17 this week. We probably won’t time it, but we’ll finish it
17 rip
Yeah, I wanted a 22 but by the time we realized it... it was too late
UPDATE
Disregard - this is what I get for being trusting
Was wrong - my source was a dirty liar
not yet
riki, servers are ||still not up||
^ god damnit that got me
Disregard - that person is a dirty liar and I don’t trust them any more
:sadbear:
Roo snap
Do you guys gamble azerite or save up for specific pieces
I really want 2x MS again but not sure if worth saving for
bahroo #1
Are any of the new essences super good
10 weeks for 1 piece at +15 last I checked, unless the TR numbers changed
That's disgusting
2 weeks for a rando at +18
thats engaging gameplay
we got a long tier anywho
7 months for 3 pieces tho? That takes some fucking dedication
that's excluding gains from scrapping though
Tusks, I’ll random one of each slot then save. For specific
It’s like 45% chance of failure if you’re looking for a specific piece
By the time you could have just purchased it
thats my plan as well
Random then save for chest / shoulders / head in that order
esp since All of raid has BoM pieces, you can get by with raid gear for awhile
losers!
oh shit servers are ||⬇️ ||
+15 is 2150 TR. 475 random is 4750. That’s pretty consistent with what it has been. 2.something weeks for a random at loot cap level.
Coin wrathion for weapon. Coin for Azerite imo buy a boe shield
wut
precisely
ye
classic finished early because they released it 14 years ago
It’s ok they were just excited
can't be as excited as me levelling up for the first time ever in classic/vanilla
i should quit while i'm ahead, right
I actually did enjoy classic but simply don't have the time for both it and retail
semi joke on my part
my "introduction" to mmo's was a friend raiding some dragon in EQ
and fail for 6-9 hours
Lmao
Said "no mmos for me" at that point
Then I played City of Heroes some 6 years later, and then joined at end of WoTLK
I hated leveling in vanilla. I tried it again in classic and hate it just about as much
WE UP
^
We up boys
thanks for the update
hmm 440 howler. well, i guess there's worse things than research
@crystal dirge bolstering skittish fort
well, that chest was underwhelming and underexpected
why was I expecting season 4 rewards for the chest done for 1st week
must have read wrong.
Would have been nice
Did you get double AP? @craggy harness
yes
Nice
Nice
Now this is epic
I personally wouldn't
Yeah I wouldn't either
Cuz I don't like the 2min CD on jes'
nods thanks
Sometimes the Ilvl will be that high that it is stronger
Yeah, I won't toss it out, but, was unclear from just reading.
probably will get tossed out soon with new items anyway
in the I'm an idiot note, ever since i came back in december, i was wondering why my azerite gear was 5 higher than when i first looted
stupid innermost thing
rank 1 bois


w8 should i be using vision minor
why are you asking us mr rank 1
sh
The correct answer when you’re rank one parsing is 
hmmm guess its only a chacne for loot from assault caches now
oh?
did vale, no loot in the box
uldum dropped for me
yeah ^-
last week both mini assaults had loot for me
I didn't get loot from the 2nd minor last week; it seems to be guaranteed coalescing visions, mementos, and then I got war resources on 1 toon and gold on another, but neither got an item.
How many mementos do we get from the major and minor? Close to the elite exterminator buff was hoping to get it before going into a vision
I never really paid attention to the major, but the minor is random. I think I got like 58 on one toon and 67 on the other
Not many from those. But you can farm inside the daily visions, from killing bounties (world pvp)
@novel agate
How close are you
Ah I was about 400 away knew it was a long shot. Should have just gone for another lost zone last week.
so daily vision, both assaults, daily quests, anything else im missing for Coalescing?
Rares and events in assault zones
Weekly chest in each assault zone
Regular chests in assault zones
@analog zinc can you link the log? I wanna see and learn from it
Thanks @tame garden
He has rank 1, and please don’t take offense to this city, because very few people have done it yet
1st of 10 is still first! 
I had a world 4th WM last tier for a bit does that count?
Yes
If you aren't first you're last
M+ logs are serious business
2nd is just 1st loser
Yall didnt even bring a bear for maut smh
It wasn’t damage. It was 4th highest completion time / key level
Until the other groups ran later in the week
I got a damage trinket for my tank spec
Is merekthas fang decent at all?
First time I’ve ever seen it
It’s aight for aoe pulls at the cost of survivability.
Wow... inkpod May be bugged right now
Isn’t proccing the damage in Ny’alotha
If one person lets their stack fall off then no one’s inkpod procs damage
:bearknight:
Stoopid warios
I have come to protect the bear log, you have seen nuffin

Which boss fight is the hardest in nyalotha
So good for open world pulls cause imagine dying
Sup
F
Rip in pepperonis
what do you guys think of the mechagon shield?
Not worth unless higher Ilvl
recently got one at 445 from a 6
was wondering if it's worth using over a similar ilvl
@left hatch nice, thanks! :p
If it’s the same Ilvl then no, it’s not worth using
is sigil of warding good trinket for warprot ?
Is a second DC or callous reprisal better in M+?
Callous reprisal in most use cases
I wasn't clear, both would be second picks
The DR from CR stacks with multiple traits
Hence why for general use I would recommend a second CR over a second DC
Hey guys, witch one is better?
Although it really depends on your use case
With hast rune
@full crane sim it
No, don’t sim it
Are you looking at them from a defensive stance or offensive?
Or blend?
More for defensive.
I think the stone is probably better based on the Ilvl difference then.
Simming is only for offensive purposes
Plus 40% bigger health pots ❤️
I would have world 1st normal kills
if I had corruption
I'm getting world 2nd on most bosses
because world first has infinite stars
so aids
it does 9k their damage
I wish I had good corruption :(. Oh wait - I can farm it now 🙂
corruption will carry any dps far more, then TF ever did. it's fun if you get nice corruption items, but absolute cancer if you have bad luck and can't compete. rng at it's best.
you aren't gonna have bad enough luck where you never get a good corruption though, you can just farm lower ilvl items until you get a corruption or trade for it when people are capped on their corruption
sure you are right, but that shows how 'broken' it is, that you trade lower ilvl gear, because it is far better (in terms of dps that is) because of corruption. for me that is something that I never liked
How strong is the corruption Twilight devestation? got a 445 ilvl belt in chest but my 430 belt has the corruption TD on it
i only do M+ ... seems like its prob better than the ilvl the 445 belt has socket too 😢
so if i don't have a single bastion
between a 420 bastion and a 435 iron fortress, what should i go?
435
That's also a question that should be answered in #268491842637660160 in the guide
ah cheers
Where is all my corruption
I thought this system was supposed to be better than TF
@sick sentinel just get good
Imagine not having something other than Void Ritual... oh wait... I don’t have to imagine 😦
fresh 120 war, would yall gear prot or fury first or does it matter
Prots easy - just equip the highest Ilvl (for the most part).
So, get the highest Ilvl and then decide from there and you can be more specific in the gear you want for fury - IMO I
Yfw
What do you guys think of the raid so far
Im trying to debate if vision food is worth it
what vision food?
the new foods give visio specific buffs
I mean, movement speed is always good. One of them gives you 100 sanity (which isn't much now but when we have a lot more SR, it'll be big especially in mask runs with half sanity). One of them is basically rabbit charms for visions, and one is like 20% movement speed
Nice
It's kind of just a glorified bag piece that I get to brag to my DPS about
Not while trialing lmao
uhhhh
valuable enough that dropping ilvl for damage will probably be worth it
depending on corruption effect that is
I got the frontal aoe of 6% my Max health (430 ilvl)
Comparing against 445 with socket and good stats
+6s pipe man
I'm over here expecting I can mass pull the entire dungeon
but it hits like a +19/20 but dies like a +15
if you're talking Wrathion wep that is not worth 15 ilvls
even ignoring socket and what secondaries
is it not that good
end of the day he can sim himself but ST it only adds like 1k dps
which im pretty sure 15 ilvls of a weapon adds more
that obsidian skin corruption is bad right?
and for w/e reason Searing Flames also doesn't sim for much higher in aoe than it does ST
i should clear the corruption off of it
i think (think) its better than void ritual
so if you got nothing else why not keep it?
well i just cant use it cus of the high corruption
like i dont know how reliable the sims on bloodmallet are but it looks awful
wanted to make sure i dont fuck up
sims are only for dps
so if you're looking for defensive value you don't use it
downside being is corruptions main value is gonna be offensive lul
oooh im actually dumb as hell hahah i forgot i was on the prot section
really sorry
np lol
anyone have a recommended boss kill order
going into heroic in about an hour
i really want wrath wep
all the trash i've killed today
Normal sword but not a bad start xD
Hows the mechagon shield? Proc looks interesting but I cant tell if it actually procs that often
not worth dropping ilevel for
what a good stat breakdown....trying to what to put in a socket...mainly raid tanking and M+
this si my current break down
Just gem haste
thats what i was thinking....that or vers
does 120 really make that big a difference
Does 50 haste really make that big a difference
ok ive been gemming all haste was jsut curious if there was a breaking point
I was just asking, if anything had changed....no need to be a dick about it
There is a soft breaking point theoritically but it's not something you should bug your mind with
lol i try to min/max to the extreme
You'll do alright, trust
id hope, was in top 10 on my server for Season 3
SALT
look literally 1 message up
lol didnt lookt at item name lol....assumed it was from cache lol
Cache items can't corrupt this week
you can get mythic+ corruption gear
so what are the bis m+ tanking corrupteion effects?
echoing void
Impassive or Gemhide, GO!
impassive
Okay, what if you already have one Impassive?
Is it better to do Gemhide since you only get the increased heal?
impassive all the way
so Psyche Shredder is list as BIS for Prot trinket on Bloodmallet
is that a bug or something?
ah rip
is our tank trinket list updated for new trinkets?
do they all just kinda blow?
cause i got sigil of warding and dunno if i should be using it over urchin and edict
Do anyone know if cleansing Faralos, Empire's Dream removes the AoE effect?
yes it does
yea dont cleanse it
im big sad my fury warrior got it for his off spec
i couldnt grab it
Would you guys use the Sigil Warding 460 over 430 edict?
thats what i was asking
Yeah honestly
With edict stacking
I think it might be better?
Not sure though
only way to tell is overall healing
I think the sigil would be better
should i just blame blizzard for not being consistent? Faralos eff is green instead of purp
the weapons are all green aren't they
adoes it worth stacking rekless flurry in prot
is it worth stacking reckless flurry?
if you're trying to parse yeh
but you're going to be on prog for most fights now if you do mythic
I would never use it
I have a 425 Jes Howler and a 445 Rezan. Which is better?
LOL
Rezan
got a 460 sword from wrathion, do i cleanse it? im at 53 corruption with it and a 12% mastery, stacking crit and a t1 mindflayer. thoughts
dont cleanse it, its pretty good with its corruption effect
same
Azerite vendor gives you dungeon azerite, not raid
Oh, odd way to phrase it but you might be right 😅
Both are the same eitherway
Is there any secondary stat percentages i should be trying to hit for m+
Any corruption that stands out as good on m+? Do we want the leech?
@ionic fern what about this?
Tbh I'm actually triggered I got it because I can't even use it
Corruption is too high
At 27 resistance you'd still be proc'ing the ghost thing
you're proccing the thing that does the shadow damage
which really doesn't do much
The one that chases you?
that's 50+ right?
40iirc
ahh 40
Yep no its 40
So it'd be super counterproductive especially in raid
If I was dps it'd be ok
Nah man as long as it only procs every 25 sec you're gold 😂
I was referring to someone yesterday who said that you can pop SR on the add and it insta-despawns it when it hits you
Who thought it was a good idea to put 10 casters in a trash pack and have each cast do 100k
Literally bonkers
Definitely gonna have to make sure you have shock bots on everyone for Junkyard
3rd most damaging ability lol
Zap scales with keystone level ive heard, thats true?
meh to the wrathion 1her
Yeah, that was in a +5
It was a significant portion of damage in the pre m+ version of mechagon
btw +5 also drops 445 so don't fret about 6s too much
Not that it's a huge difference, but thought I'd mention it
most are gonna have 6s tho, since they prob ran 10s
Yeah I was just putting the info out there
5s rarer unless you premade and tank it on purpose
@mortal brook I'm assuming that's just a single target fight?
That doesn't look too bad tbh..how long is that fight?
yeah, with full uptime on facing the boss. on aoe its right about the same
almost 4m
A 3% boost isn't bad but compared to what you can get for the corruption
ilvl > all is rarely bad
I'm just talking in terms of effects comparatively
oh yeah for sure
stars just got ANOTHER 25% and its still rockin really nice dps percorruption
Like the bdk weapon
rip that weapon lol
Still probably better than our 1h by a long shot lol
also holy heck m+ corruption rate is low. took 16 5s/6s before we saw a corruption
(it was an avoidance back piece)
We did like

It probably follows the same rules as TF did
so can confirm, back pieces can corrupt lol
Hunter got an 8% leech one
I think so. 1/3 of 1/3 of 1/3 same as a +15 TF
Aka every key above a 10 nets increased chance
8% leech prob worth wearing mail right?
Yes
😄
hmmm
oh, and sanity gain from k'bab doesnt double tick on 20s now. just 1 at 10s
still nice tho. couple hundo gain per run
I'm just excited about the gnasher food on my DH
I definitely think corruption needs to be a one and done thing after this patch
