First formless major now we are talking about bloodsport
This is a conversation I can be a part of
@warm plinth Im using warden.....
did get the Void-Twisted Titan shard from raid tonight
My 4 trinket choices currently at Void Twisted, Humming, Sigil or a 430 bloodthirsty
void is pretty eh. you wont see uptime on the crit at all
Any suggestions on a weakaura to track maximum ignore pain?
I'd prefer if it didn't track the current absorb
maybe sigil and humming till i get the vita?
@sick spear I'm using the one in the guides channel
It'll turn red when you're at max and shouldn't press it
idk if that helps
I saw that, I like knowing the exact number though
I may end up just using the calculations from that and importing it to something else though, if I can figure it out
Maybe a wiki or wowhead will have the formula for max absorb amount from ignore pain
And you can calculate it yourself
Or make a WA with that
Idk
But I know that feel where you want a WA for one specific thing
It's just 1.3*IP amount
but that's a pain in the ass to manage, since it needs to reset when I cast it
Idk lol, I'm not too great with WAs
I use the one in the FAQs, see red number don't press button
Me warrior with 2 brain cells banging rocks together
just got a Salvaged Mekacycle Shielding. Y'all use it much?
5 ilvl difference?
okie doke. thanks!
Shield absorb is like 1-2% dmg reduction if I did math correctly. Basically useless
oof
Yep...and the damage proc may as well not exist since the absorb disappears instantly.
Also how tf is 50k overall low lol. Crazy I’m happy if I do 35k
🙃 Because Kyothi is better than mere mortals, or so he'd have you believe.
All about pulling big
anyone rocking T3 EV?
Nope. T3 TD, replaced T3 EV after the nerfs
is EV just complete shit now?
it's fine for ST/cleave, more consistent than TD
technically loses on 2+ targets though
is there a way to spin a T3 TD and a T1 TD?
why wouldn't there be
lotta corruption
Hey guys wondering what all the M+ folks think of next week's affixes versus last week's (bursting, volcanic vs. teeming, quaking)
I feel like volcanic is easier than quaking, but not so sure about teeming in S4
bursting volcanic is without a doubt the best push week.
quaking isnt that bad after the rework, teeming isnt too bad
id say its also one of the easiest weeks i think
So for timed saved/clearing 5 mask solos quicker..do you guys feel the stealth food, or the sanity regain food, or the run speed food is better?
I'm leaning towards the stealth food but never used it; i'd hate to plan around it, and it not work the way I think it does.
Have not done them on prot but I can tell you that the stealth food works exactly like stealth.
Except that you're not invisible
You mean; once I attack the 'food' is gone?
Well
the well fed buff stays
But it doesn't reactivate
But, if you still have the Well Fed buff on you, then eating more food will grant the stealth buff instantly instead of after 10 seconds
Ok that's exactly what I wanted to know; so it's just out of the equation then.
So in order to surgically clear a zone; you'd need to eat a lot of the food.
Well
clear a vision~
You can use it for areas that you don't need to kill mobs
For example, I use it for Valley of Honor to skip from Misha to the other miniboss (though you can do the skip to the left if you want and really accomplish the same thing)
You don't have to choose between the sanity food and other food though, because it doesn't work from a well fed buff.
Hm; so if you're willing to eat a handful of that food item, it does provide the cleanest/fastest 5 mask solo clear.
I don't think it really matters what food you use tbh. For most of mine I just used vers food (I main havoc)
The potion 'check' in orgrimmar is in that hut to the left of the main hut (where thrall is) right?
Yeah
I know there's a WA or whatever for it; but what are the unintuitive 'opposite' colors?
some will be obvious..blue/red etc.
thanks.
Strongly recommend the WA though; then you don't have to remember it XD
I went to wago and there was 3, I picked up the top one
I figured they'd be a little more intuitive and I only needed to remember 1 or 2 'odd' color combinations
So yeah I just snagged it.
? do you have to type the name yourself of the potion in chat?
Is the one I should be using is "Identify good potion with 100 sanity"
Think I may have picked up a janky one first.
That looks more robust, tracks more stuff...I'll give it a shot; thanks.
what essences are yall taking to 5 mask?
i did 4 mask w/ 2 orbs left and cheat as fury but 5 mask FUCKED me on rexxar.
went through 500 sanity and cheat because i couldn't kill fast enough
i hear tanking it's the play and i have giga gear
How doe BOP work on a tank? do they lose all their aggro?
and once you auracancel the Bop you get all your threat back from before
bop lose all threat yes
idk if u get it back when u cancel but u might do, not sure
guess u can try it out on world mobs
you need to interact with the target(s) after you cancel bop
to get the threat back
if you are, for example, kiting and cancelaura bop, you won't get threat back
but if you're in range and revenge/tc after you cancel, they'll come back to you
I have read the icy veins suggested essences for mythic+, but looking at most of the top score prot tanks they use different ones. Should I still follow the icy veins suggested?
vop major
aegis/cns/sphere/lucid/void(if CR is needed) minors
^ pick 3
So it doesnt matter that much?
all of the ones mentioned are good
so just pick three if them, lucid is probably the one id always keep since it gives more rage to feed into anger management
It's not a massive difference for tanks
You could literally play the worst essences in the game and still do decent, only at high keys they start to make a difference
Have done a couple 18s this week with cns major just for the fun of it
Not saying it's great, but fun
Which trinket shoul;d i run for m+, i dont have the one from nzoth yet, but i have 465 rezans eye, jes howler, lingering sporepods, vial of animated blood, modular plating or a 460 torment?
Rezan + torment*
i feel like torment does barely any dmg
The sporepods and modular plating you can throw in the trash
Torment does a good 2-4k dps in keys
What do you mean
its like on avg 3-4%
That's good
thats good for a trinket

pretty sure its possible to /cancelaura macro it if you need the healing at a point, but its still not good
Good for pvp
true
Got a void trinket from Raden how is it
void bad
vita good
Sad face
And got a 460 shield with mastery proc
How is that?
956?
I can only imagine that with bastion of might
depends on what else you have, really
Does anyone know where I can find a list of relfectable spells for M+?
Is the mechacycle shield worth anything?
@sweet summit nothing
460 haste / vers shield with a socket vs 465 mekacycle
hey im looking for an azerite trait stat weight for the azeritepower addon preferably for raiding
What major power should I be using for pushing high keys
Hi guys - does anyone know of addons which 1) automatically mark and 2) track a parties Interrupts?
hey im looking for an azerite trait stat weight for the azeritepower addon preferably for raiding
@robust galleon
Vision of perfection
I find that with vision I have no short CD
Like for big dmg that comes in every 30 or so seconds
Yeah that true
But vision gives you decent damage
As suppose it depends how comfortable you are with the group as well e.g if you know they will interrupt and stun vision may be better
If the group is dogshit then you may need more survivability like fluffy has said
group is pretty good but im new to tanking in genreal highest thing ive done is a plus 9 this season
Take vision then - you wont have to deal with high high damage at that key range anyway
@south osprey would it be the same for raiding on heroic and normal by chance
@lusty wedge if the mast proc is the only corruption you have then use it
We looking for TD/haste then?
I have a tier 3 on the BDK. 45-50k is nice, just DK gets nuked in high keys.
@south osprey would it be the same for raiding on heroic and normal by chance
@robust galleon vision is always major (unless exceptional circumstances arise)
Thank you twiggy big help
what essences for 5 mask clear?
Modular plat plating any good for a dung trinket?
plating is very poop
worst trinket in the game
@south osprey for the marking and party interrupt, those are weakaura's, check wago.io and Search 'party interrupt' and 'auto mark' or something.
(you have to use the weakauras addon though, but I generally assume people have/use it)
any time modular plating would be useful, is when you would lose stacks of it. feels bad
@heady summit theres a spreadsheet in #268491842637660160
@warm plinth happy leap day Pinky
So why is lucid dreams as major so good this week? To survive big pull at start until you have to kite?
Its not good
its not good and thats why top tanks run it right?
top tanks =/= your keys
18-19s atm
ye
are you coordinating big pulls with your group where you wouldn't survive without super duper leech ?
Like 15 mobs
like 15-20 yeah
I know what you mean. Why im asking is leach does lose benefit from necrotic so its good for start of the pull as I understand right?
leech is not why you take lucid
Is TA3 worth it for the 66 corruption?
What ilvl is the piece?
Guys a question whats the Point all high Prot´s are playing with memory in major? Use it and spam ignore pain or what?
Defensive gain for giga high keys
Aka spam IP, get 2-3 Demo shouts and 2 avatar
Back to back
Yes
Anger Management
ty @strong forum
The rage you spend let's yo get your CDs back faster
Should we spend it on like Revenge instead cuz IP dont stack completely i think
without memory as major
i mean
No you will overcap rage like crazy if you don't spam IP
And overcapping rage is the worst thing you can do
i use it
No
You need to know when and where you can press IP instead of SB
Shieldblock is higher importance than IP
Overcapping IP is less importance than overcapping rage
aight thx mah man
If you know you can spend rage on revenge / IP it is recommended assuming you can't use Shieldslam or Thunderclap
Keep SS and TC on CD to maximise rage Generation
Can we spellreflect despair/shattered resolve on vexiona?
There's a spreadsheet in #268491842637660160
so.. rng just fucked me and i need some help..
i got a 475 helmet with bastion and IF but i'd lose my DC..
if i want to add a DC back then i'd lose Ablative Shielding + 1 Bastion.. wtf do i do now? 
So I'm trying to refine my 5 mask, I got to Thrall twice, then have just been dying to dumb shit like lag and titan proc RNG. Can anyone share how they managed it in Prot? Like essences, etc.
Ablative Shielding is bad
DC is worth like 15 ilvls, BoM isnt worth any ilvl
you should not, might happen bc blizzard idk
@wanton shard Gift isn’t really RNG. It has an internal cooldown. You want to get a WA for it and make sure it’s off ICD going into Thrall so that it procs when you kill the adds.
Does Conflict and Strife for Prot have DR? I don't recall that happening before, but maybe i just didnt pay enough attention to it
Major
@wanton shard Did you get to Thrall with an Orb remaining?
Yeah I messed up and haven't been able to get back
I tried to even out my AoE and ST damage a bit
Honestly it's the corrupted sectors that end up being the worst
Do you have TD ?
Yeah I can run 12-24%
Did you run CoF Major & Deva?
How is it weird
So it is at least damage
We even run Deva on multi fight in raid
It helped me big with the 4 mask
uuh...
uh
Uhhh
And AE isn't a concern
I probably need to swap to CoF major and the cyclo then.
If you have TD, I wouldn’t really worry about evening out your damage. Go for the single target damage which is where you’re going to be lacking in visions.
Honestly I'm overestimating some of the baby mobs
So they catch me with the voids, etc. Just overpulling when I gotta take it a bit slower out of my titan procs
Hs anyone gotten better cards for higher cyclo? ;_;
So I need more practice. But I'm out of vessels, lol.
You really have so much time Rey. There’s no reason to rush. Just plan your gift procs out for the dangerous mini bosses/bosses
Yeah Ghash, I got too impatient
📉
I’ve been there. I rushed my first attempt at 5 masking and got myself killed on Rexxar like an idiot because I didn’t wait for Gift to be ready and then went ham from the start and had 4 adds up at once XD
I had a sick week though, T3 Twilight 455 gloves and 460 boots with 12% haste.
Well depend, do you consider Hivemind and Vexiona AoE fight?
Damn T3 TD. That’s the dream
😦
:angery:
Hey man I've had no luck since launch, it was just finally my week
You'll be next, watch!
better than nothing
Yep
So here's another question that falls more in line with TD. Is there a point where we want more stam for it? Or just continue to balance our other damage around the RNG of the procs
Right
well you want more stam in that ilvl will give you more stam
more procs > higher procs
I got a Vita this week, so maybe I want to move into incorporating my haste boots into my build, I'd prefer to stay under 59 atm lol
you'll lose far more dps than youd gain
^
@strong forum @warm plinth @sick sentinel On which raid fight do you use BV?
every fight thats not shadhar
^
I don’t raid. But if AoE DPS matters, you don’t use Devastator.
were talking both
BV is always better for survival afaik
anytime theres a slightest bit of cleave deva falls behind
I mean logs disagree with you
Disagree with what exactly?
most logs are running deva thats true
eh idk
boost is running anima major for Carapace
hes looking at top 10s where they are doing stuff like 1phasing wrathion
so theres no aoe component
So Hivemind is a ST fight?
Xanesh too?
Vexiona?
Strange to see all those deva logs on them
hivemind and ves also have a mixture of BV in with the deva for top 10
and imagine fixating on a talent on top 10 parses when corruption is 30%+ of your damage
I'm not denying that Morrison, I'm considering BV on Vexiona
i mean let's not take it to extremes. I use cof even on aoe fights, but also use things like merektha's fang on em
it depends on how good your dps is? if it blows up instantly then no BV wouldn't be worth it
if the spawns are up for~10+s itll most likely do better
difference between Deva and BV is close to none as soon as theres situations where you can get some damage on adds
so its really a moot point
nowadays
the other big consideration is how nice is your co-tank in moving the adds near enough for you to cleave
cause that wildly changes what kind of fight it is for you
in EP sure, but in Nya i dont think it makes a difference whatsoever
unless youre going 3x bfi
then youre gonna get more out of deva
things like haste proc gonna favor deva as well
are they though, rage gain from BV is a big point
Pretty sure I gain more or equal rage from Deva
I'd weight the gains from faster autos over a potential for rage spill yeah
is there a point where rage gain is high enough you cant spend it on dps any better than you already are?
even if you ignore SS resets overwriting each other with it or only coming up as it comes off cd (which is inevitable) the rage gen is a little below it
its rage spent
And youre limited on gcds
IP is DPS because of CDR from AM
aka faster CDs
^
so whats the point where rage gain hits gcd limiter?
But there would be a cap at some point because IP has a cooldown. It’d be pretty unreachable though I’d think
🤔
would that be the point where the haste amp favors AA speed enough that deva pulls ahead
?
Youre forgetting that additional damage from demo tho
aye good point
I don’t mean unreachable period. I mean unreachable at a consistent level. Procs/effects are a different story
not really, cuz by that point you spend so much rage that Demo comes of CD even faster
if anything
You can already have demo one toght after another
haste favours Demo
Right*
more than it favours deva
cuz you get more uptime on the dmg buff
cuz lower cds on demo
not to mention that rage gen means higher ava uptime
where AAs do not let you live in ava
Are we talking multi ?
Both
Cause there's no point talking damage on BV in ST
talking a theoretical mega haste world
So running my 2 TDs I pretty much need to run a corruption minor, formless all times but solo, right?
raid yes
M+ most likely
depends on group comp tho
if everyone is running VoP then you gotta run str instead
formless depends on your group in m+, warden r3 is fine
Under 59 corruption isn't necessarily undoable, right? I mean anytime I don't need Spell Reflect it kind of takes care of what pops up when a CC/cloak use is down
ive been running it for a while, its fine-ish
Obviously eye can be a nightmare
as long as you dont gimp your group you can also SB it
Yeah
thats a talk of comfort between you and your healer really
And yeah I do run Storm when I have Thing up
I love when it spawns directly behind me in close quarters
lol
When it spawns behind me I tend to fear and break the mobs in front of me with revenge
By then I can tclap without breaking the things fear
Yeah that's how I usually use the fear
Prot is exceptional at dealing with 40+ corruption and I pretty much always run it now
Yeah the eye is the worst by far.
the damage actually scales up with corruption, and it gets pretty beeg
Reading a bit above, I top 10 on wrathion with devastator btw morrison
Pretty sure it's better on those fights where there isn't always cleave
And my guild doesn't one phase wrathion
We usually hit enrage >.>
Devastator is very very good for parses even on cleave fights
Just wanted to stand up for my boi devastator
yeh
Ha ur guild must have low dmg :o
Lmfao
like i said it depends what proportion of the fight is cleave vs st
If you stopped dying
@hallow phoenix My man
or your ability to contribute
like deva is great in workshop
despite there being 6 aoe pulls
I haven’t killed him in 2 weeks >:^) so ha @hallow phoenix
Honestly I'm biased cause I hate going back to BV but when I hear stuff like BV everywhere where there's not pure ST or Deva being weird in Vision, Idk man
i think he was saying deva is weird
cause the playstyle
which i don't get that either
cause i just muscle memory hit deva anyway
on empty gcds
Idk, I can see it being odd. But better is better. ST damage definitely matters far more in visions than AoE
Just put SS in the Deva slot 😄
Even in trash packs you usually have a priority target you want to burn down as quickly as possible
Like dominators or anything that leaves a fuckin swirl on the ground -_-
Yes
Idk personnally it's BV gameplay I find odd now, I just hate pressing Devastate
I just mean if you're used to using one, it might be weird to use the other because you're used to hitting/not hitting that extra ability. Like going from Legion prot to BFA prot was weird for me for that reason.
Because Deva was so prevalent in Legion and in BFA when I came back, it was BV all the way in dungeons
Well, it was BV anyway but they were on separate tiers before XD
I played BV all Uldir and a little in BoD, the switch to Deva was weird at first but then couldn't go back
Haha
literally burned into my brain
to press demo on cd
cant wait for shadowlands to fuckup protwar again
now that we for once have a godlike interation
so if dps wars can use a shield and shield block now..
can prot use a 2-h
just have a dps stance like catweaving. big deepus
So what trait comp is supposed to be best for m+ using the azerite pieces out of Nzoth? 3x BoM, 1x DC, 2x HoD? Or take instead of 2x HoD one Brace for Impact and one Iron Fortress?
imagine getting a 475 shield but its the mechagon one D:
Still worth
Isn't that double horsie tier?
procs TDs
probably doesnt actually improve the ppm tho tbh
Probably not :p
havent ever had a need for double horse tho
steves a facetanker dangit
q: i have enough gold to buy a EV t3 piece (475) - there isn't a t3 TD piece available and when it is, im guessing it will be 2-3 times more. i already have a t1 TD
alternatively, i could get a 445 t2 TD and i'd have the equivalent (maybe?) of t3? thoughts?
TD 3 > EV3 in most situations
TD is going to win even in ST dps per corruption
TD is gross and I need to get more than my t1 piece of it
Stuck with searing flames for now
yeah, i'd love to get td
I'd get TD, usefull in more situation, and T2 you can combine with other stuff if you want to remove your T1 for some reason
so, we're saying the TD2(445) > EV3(475)?
Also, what content Trekie?
m+
So TD 100%
Probably not is the fucking sad part
:lol:
not unless i get more TD on more pieces
couple more weeks this thing is gettin a socket
I should do them, I'm rockin mail boots with TD2 haha
that's sad 😦
Shit I'll wear 380 shit if it had TD3 on it at this poitn 😂
at least its wrists
Wait is that actually worth it to not get the 5% strength Sako?
if you have 2 TD - does it just proc twice as much?
nah, dmg amps, same rate
so raiding running BoM x3 with VoP is the way to go correct then 1 TC trait and fill other 2 with iron fotress and such or is there a better setup
I discovered that last time
And yes it's worth cause it's broken 🙂
But I'd like having my 5% sta for even more
Quick question, I used the rank 2 breath of the dying think and got the tanking essence, how do I get rank 2 of breath of the dying now?
Gear Compare tab
raidbots - incredible
@sacred roost You will get 3 breaths from your first minivision next week. Just change loot spec to the spec you want it for and use them and you'll get R2 of the other essence.
You can also manually add gear to your /simcraft string and run it through top gear
If you're curious about combinations and don't want to manually make them with gear compare
How many stacks of necrotic can one take before they should start kiting?
looks like the TD2(445) is about 1k more dps than EV3(475)
on ST
on aoe its even more
in m+ EV T5 is about 7k dps
TD T2 is 8.5k dps
:))))))))))
ozzy around 30 its starting to get scary
There are
Cool. I'll grab one when I can
oh - that was with dungeon slice @strong forum
don't use dungeon slice

then just ave?
not so much avg as just thinkin gabout the situtaion
cause its st, cleave and aoe
like workshop id lean into w/e the 1t build was
freehold id go for the 5t one
more often than not the 3t and 5t are the same
interesting - thanks
then places like workshop will more favor the 1 boss
KR and seige on tyranical might also benefit from 1 target
since they recommend going ClF as dps there as a dps
I think there’s a better mixture of single target and multi target this season in M+
yah.. nzoth adds also add a component to is
in gneeral this season is just really interesting
looking forward to MDI strats. 'and they all have 9TD! let's see who gets eaten by bad Things and who wins the race!'
def predicting way higher death counts
still no urchin this week 😢
big risk strats were juicy during reaping. i can only imagine now
just doing like 3 obelisk bosses with final boss np
one skip was necessary
bring a rogue 4head (:
I was just about to say that exact thing Morrison 😂
i think at this point gluttony might be better than SB
lul
if they dont give corruption options they're INTing the whole MDI
on single target gluttony is a 1.5k dps loss for my VDH over spirit bomb with 1x t3 TD
Sounds about right. Seems worth it to me. 1.5k DPS for insane survivability
I'm a little biased though; my M+ tank is a VDH
That is so edgy
You're the edgy one you elitist prick ❤️
a good VDH in m+ is giga
same in raid
one of the biggest reliefs is to have a VDH glut cotank
I'm still hoping we recruit this vdh that is looking to trial
so at 9TD, forget about it
He does m+ too so I can finally stop being the only tank in the guild
Shh some people still think it's bad so it doesn't get any blizz attendion
they're not gonna rebalance shit til next expansion
& if anything they'd nerf dks
a mid tier tank with top tier representation
^
Did people suddenly reroll DK or something
basically
Dk went from being overused in china to being overused in the entire world
Muh grips
lul ppl saw all the YTers go "DH BEST IN RAID"
and ran with it
and ignored the plethora of articles that said "uhhmmm no.... they not best"
dks are only top for 2 fights, hivemind for grips, & shad'har because they have 2 taunts & are the best off-tank (ignore the fact that a DH can solo tank shad'har)
its a really complicated rotation to solo shadhar tho
the mass grip is good on carapace aswell
and in M+ they're still at the bottom
shear shear shear shear shear shear shear shear
Woyer and pally have two taunts
still have that issue that at a certain point they become paper
and fall over
and their dps isn't as good as other tanks :/
TD is the great equalizer
pally's 2nd taunt is on a 5 minute CD, warrior's isn't up for every combo, & you dont want a dedicated warrior offtank
challenging roar?
30s with the talent
yeah but 2 taunts is only useful if you want to guarantee double disolve
ooo that flag one??
Leap
in a DCD combo
Resets taunt cd
yeah i fucking know
warri can just intervene crush
warri can do what now
🙂
i thought that just worked on autos
no
not mechanic
Just let the other guy hold boss forever
wow
if its a physical mechanic
ok warrior best main tank
if you have no dk offtank
warrior negates disolve crush disolve
which is the only dangerous combo
i mean warri can intervene fucking powdershot on eudora
Glutt is only really good in M+ right now because of corruption. Without a rework, VDH will just go right back to sucking when corruption goes away.
thats also a mechanic
glut is only good at dps*
Right
they're still passable in M+ because they're unkillable gods
dh is good in m+ because they're retardedly tanky while also being competitive on dmg due to corruption
But threat becomes an issue without corruption. I peeled a lot last season.
idk if fracture glut is tankier than war
ftd glut is by far tankier
in every scenario except 1
ftd glut is the tankiest tank in all scenarios except against a Brewmaster on Orgozoa :^)
just started doing raden and wrathion on dh
trying to get me those haste trinkets so i can play shear
and i think Vdh is going to lose a lot more by losing VoP than by losing corruptions
vop sucks on dh
i thought the major is why glut is so strong rn
i dont even run vop when i run glut
is because you live in meta
vop is .92 PPM, glut is 3
so whats the major play in keys then
vop cuz theres nothing else to use
no single major is useful
ah so like every other tank basically
default is something like anima cause everything is so low impact
ill just defaul to vop major tbh
lets you use manual meta on every 2nd or 3rd pack
but im giga underhasted
so i cant play shear
or make use of TD
i ran TD T5 in siege
80 corruption
TD didnt even do 10k dps
yike
rly need those haste trinkets
Do ppl play prot lucid major jst to spam ignore pain as much u can in those lucid buff?
what key levels are you doing?
lucid major is played if you absolutely need it to survive the pull and youre already playing "perfectly"
aka GIGA high keys
below that it has no application whatsoever
i literally told him the deal
So what essenses are we looking at getting now? VoP isn't primary anymore?
vop
VoP is your main essence
I’ve been liking conflict major too. Helps dropping stacks this week too
Conflict major?
yes
I’d say it’s pretty good in niche circumstances
Makes surviving first pull of TD pretty easy when you mass pull it all
C&S is very good in td
but it is comp dependant
here's how that charge works
it has like a 15 second cooldown & can only charge if you're too far away from them
wym?
And teleport back to their initial location
like they drop fixate?
ah interesting
No they teleport back
It’s not exactly game breaking cause if you’re doing high UR keys your group should know how to kite fixate
But it helps a bit
I’ve been really liking CnS major in junkyard as well
But I’ve been between that and lucid for it
Just so they pump more?
yes
I was considering cns major to stop run and guns easier
But lucid since we do a 5 pack pull at start and it’s sketchy
I’ll prob just go cns next time
then don't do a 5 pack pull at start
But it’s fun
Yup
on the left
We do 2 boys
Bots
Then the coilbearers, patrol and 3 pack at top of the ramp with the 3 bots
i havent done many keys this season
but i did do a nice key where we went to trogg, made a giga pull & lusted
you should never pull that patrol
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/kHYwxGks3YaKhkeKo8HsPq I'm not sure what to get or change here to do any better.
nor the 3 bots up top
It’s not hard %
it's slow %
Nor the ones up top
31k giga low
With hero all at once not really
think I just need to get the higher ilvl versions of my chest/helm/shoulders.
it's slow %
Crucible Major, devastator talent, DPS trinkets
I mean you can have your opinions if you don’t back it up I can’t just believe you lol
You're back tracking if you go up there
sporepods
and ye, just play more, get some corruptions and ilvl
you should have 5 shocks by the time you get to gunker without even going up there
and you shouldn't need to pull anything near that obelisk
at all
Yeah we had plenty of time left in a 21 but we scuffed uh
what's wrong with sporepods?
they're shit
it's just garbage
We scuffed trogg boss

Idk I’ll look into route
everything is wrong with sporepods
But your “no it’s bad” attitude doesn’t help too much lol
its literally just slower
Do you pull the bots outside of gnome area to make up for %?
Like at the gates?
Cuz we skip most of the annoying bots and trogg trash doing this
And have 5 shock bots on first pull
Sorry first giga pull*
What trinkets we looking for now?
Hmm I need to check route then
the shockwave / enrage stuff can wipe you quite quickly
Yeah
dont stand in shockwaves
We don’t do bots or mostly trogg trash minus one pack by obelisk and the boss
enrage is on like a 15s cd
its an additional risk you dont have to take
You can spell reflect everything in the gunker area
so 1 person can handle each
Yeah
and just nuke it
Do you just do a lot of gunker trash then?
We were being extra careful with the slimes
Which made us do that pull initially with hero to get it on cd
Since I literally just need to walk like 10 steps then go back
You can spell reflect the consume that big slimes do
yes
It's amazing
it does extremes amount of damage
like I can do 150k single target
just on that t
just clap
That just eat people lmao
just clap them
Healer should be dispelling a DPS instantly when possible too since the consume doesn’t reapply unless you leave the slime and go back in
Gore encrusted butchers block?
yes
so VoP/MoLD/Aegis/Null (generally) for essences?
Vision/CnS major. Vision/CnS, Sphere, Aegis, Lucid minors
^
You like lucid minor over strife minor?
Fair point
CNS minor is MUST have
I didn't start running lucid until neck 75
whats our go to stats for gems and accords
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/i5w2AqDn7Yfwczuz52kmrm not that ring though 🙂
"Prot warrior survives the damage & needs healing, Blood dk doesnt need healing but does need rezzes"
lol wtf
Puts the heal absorb on them too, which is useless but still cool
Are the tank specific trinkets ever worth it or like vita/humming or torment better options?
thanks. trying to fill out gear and figuring out what specs to roll each boss, already have vita/humming/torment
is it worth on off pieces to drop 10 IL for a socket?
Defensively no
kk thanks guys
what % versa shud i aim for?
whats our besy M+ shield?
motherload shield is the best "stat wise"
@vocal jacinth as much as your highest item level gear allow you to have
any shield but the mechadungeon shield is best shield. the secondaries arent that disparate. can probably run droptimizer or your stat weights if you're looking for a dungeon to fish one from though @obtuse meadow
How feasible is 5 masks as prot?
Any specific tip/build?
treat it like a tyrannical dungeon. use consumables, go wisdom spirits drag honor. %heal food is probably best. eat kbab, dont eat sanity reducers. https://wago.io/23q54wiYR here's a fantastic weak aura for tracking time, potions, gift and gift icd
do world quests for Twilight Devastation. thatll get you most of the way kek
ez game
is Pawn a good addon for us?
does Bulwark of the Masses stack?
Just once @winged grail
Thanks
@obtuse meadow no, pawn is not good for anyone really
@ruby violet yes but it’s kinda meh. Seems to not proc as often as it should
@obtuse meadow your weights change every single time you swap gear. pawn and pawn strings dont benefit you as much as just simply running your weights, or any other tool on raidbots
simc addon goes with raidbots, would recommend that instead
kbab only goes once. that changed from the ptr where you could double tap it
Hey guys, is the Mechagon Shield worth it? I mean is the effect any good?
its the worst shield in the game
no, you will not see any uptime on it
but if its your highest ilvl shield, block value is block value
useless proc
same reason mechadungeon has the worst trinket in bfa; cuz some designer doesnt actually play game
well the yolo wheel is good in pvp
tank trinkets are shit true
If its your highest ilvl shield you still use it tho
^

Hey, new here, but quick question - What corruption level do you guys run / feel comfortable at with M+s?
most weeks 59
39 is like very safe to start off on
39 is safe, 59 if youre comfortable in your abilties
Okay, I've been running 0 corruption for most of the time
40~59 is comfort between you and your healer
39 is low impact
like actually 0 impact
I've got a 50 Infinite Stars ring that I've been debating about equipping
hell, 25 is HoD activation
IS is the worst out of the damagr proc ones for m+, but still better than stats procs and stat$
im not sure about better than stat procs in M+
its really bad in aoe
and you can pump with the haste or crit proc
The only corruption affixes I have are VR, and Verse from all Sources and Haste from all sources
VR id say is good
should be able to sim for whatever combo
raidbots lets you set a corruption ceiling
^ just set to 59 and go ham
okay, I just redownloaded SimC addon

though tbh unless you have a raidbots account you can hit the iteration cap REALLLLLLY fast with corruptions
hell you can hit it even with a premium account ):
lol, good to know
what talent build should I do to go to visions?
treat it like tyrannical
how do we treat it like tyrannical ?
focus on maximising ST dmg
a bit more detailed please
cof major, cyclo blast trinket
thats about it
rest like usual
and TD is amazing
thats the crash course for visions
whats cof?
Crucible of Flame
and TD?
twilight devastation
