please
and I am SQUISHY AS FUCK
tmog yourgear
I get DELETED
It's the tmog
like I do good dps
that tmog is cute get out hater
Uhh
is my stat priority fucked or something?
Could be your tier 1-2 essences
Do u press your buttons
does it really matter that much tho
gemming and enchanting vers?
I try too keep up block
You want haste
well what should I
More haste=more block
okay
more block=less damage
well pulls sometimes take so fucking long
I go trough 2 charges
last stand
and 3 more
and Im fucked
okay
Dont just facetank with nothing up
also I checked out some higher prot warriors and my haste didnt seem so low
U will die
thats why i gemmed vers
so I should just gem haste and get essences?
Ye
aight
lets hope I wont have to get back to you
thanks for the help
essences are right ones tho?
sphere of sup isnt great
I thought it helps a lot with magic damage
it was often used last tier
I mean now that Im grinding
might as well grind correct ones
yeah true
I cant see essences on mobile
vop major
vision major, sphere, CnS, warden
your gear outside some minor things looks fine tbh, enchant your weapon as well if you havent already
hard to say anything else without seeing you play
for m+ VoP major with lucid/cns/sphere/void minors
for raid cof/VoP major null/lucid/vop/cns/void minors
ty my dude
how good is the vita/void combo trinkets?
or is it better to use vita and barnacle for st
Vita is the best paired with another trink like jes or the one from maut in my opinion
Would you use your bonus rolls on wrathion as top priority?
ok ty nasty
Also where can I get a good 1h?
The 1h from wrathion looks to be good
But carapace seems bis
Depends on availability
Ofc carapace is bis cuz it's 10ilvl higher
But wrathion without the corruption is as good as it gets outside of carapace or weekly chest luck
Corruption is free dmg 😈😈
Do I run Devastator on every boss in Ny'alotha?
you run BV on bosses that are not shadhar tbh
Are you trying to perform well or cheese logs for dps
Tbh a lot of people are running BV regardless and they aren’t terribly underperforming dps wise compared to devastator
I run BV in raid because I am lazy as shit and parsing doesn’t matter with corruption
WCL is literally just a measurement of how well you parsed not how well you mitigated you have to dig into the log for that
That being said if you're not having any issues and your healers aren't struggling no reason not to go deva
So legit question does anyone, and by anyone I mean any class, actually use the corruption effect of the weapons from nyalotha?
Is that the dps one or the tank one? Been a hot minute since I've logged in
i use the one from carapace on my warlock the inf stars r2
infinite stars caster
the % int mace on healers also pretty good for at least 1/2 of them
I just know that the prot one from wrathion is typically cleansed
Well
It’s better than no corruption
And if you can afford the corruption and don’t have something better it becomes usable
But yes In general other corruptions are better
I suppose it's very perspective based
Better than nothing but so is having a 110ilvl weapon if you didn't have one to begin with
Does anyone know how different ranks of echoing void behave?
Sorry, didn't specify my question. If you have different ranks equiped
Oh cool 🙂
As far as I know
@chilly brook all I am saying is don’t just cleanse it because a lot of people do. It isn’t bad by any means. It just doesn’t perform as well as a lot of corruptions
Hey guys kinda new to prot war was doing a 15 kr last night and got chunked by the mob right before king. Wondering if there is a strat to take less or just cycle cds for it as its magic dmg
Cycle CDs, don't use shield block, dump all rage in Ignore Pain
Im assume kr is one of the harder dungeons as a prot war due to bleeds and casters after 2nd boss
and pray your dps kills it before it kills you 🙂
is engi helm any good for warrior tanks?
It is, Reht, cause you can take the azerite traits that cleanses bleeds
@velvet maple thx
Ye i was dumping in ignore i died right by the end still though. In 460 didnt think i would get so chunked in kr but being fort with those bleeds and magic is probably pretty shit for warrior i guess
It's pretty horrible for all tanks tbh.
But yes - definitely one of the worst dungeons on fort/teeming.
I used to play guardian druid. They have a few more cycleable cds for magic. Where as prot really excells with physical due to blocks/last stand cycle
So just gotta get used to that thanks for the info makes me feel a bit better haha
The pack after 2nd boss fucks ass(es)
and wiping on 3rd boss is just brutal with that long rung back
Yeah it was rough for me. We did fine on 3rd but that pack was nasty
We rooted one and losd them to corner. Ended up pulling the big dude due to root at the end
really fun mechanic that they give you a pillar to skip the guardian on the bridge
then put you back at the start of the dungeon without any skip
super cool that there isnt a graveyard at 2nd boss
Mage we had was a sperg though. Pulling extras all the time like kr mobs arent hard enough
We actually killed the guardian on bridge and skipped the 2 beserkers above 3rd boss
the fun mechanic is that if you kill the guardian and skip the pack before 3rd boss, the skip flies you to that pack
Teeming just sucks. Throws off % and some dungeons its real shit like AD
Where teeming can spawn either side
Then there's others like workshop which are fun on teeming
1 extra spider tank. free affix
Yeah true that
KR and AD are shit with teeming, dunno about others
Whats JY like with teeming? Im yet to even do a JY would be good for my io
ToS isn't bad except one single pack
Yeah, dervishes are spicy if healer isn't on the ball
And dps dont move haga
Precious little I can do to make that pull easy
At least some of their stuff doesn't count as moving anymore
Imagine their dance moving quaking haha
Oh dude that woyld suck
The dh last night was dashing into me every quaking i swear so retarded
dance isn't moving?
could have sworn it was spawning puddles in horrific vision, or then the DH was just trolling
so it is moving, and probably also spawnin puddles in visions too
It's a weird ability
Maybe their 600%leech haha
Too me the easiest keys this week are WS and ToS
Not sure what else would be easy
ML sucks as always
Siege has a ton of trash
Junkyard you have the buffs at least
ML is just so much trash
There's a reason it has such a long timer haha
and that's the reason why it's easy
I still haven't timed one over 5 this season, and I've tried
I have an untimed 15 so no reason trying for anything lower than 14
How is JY better than WS this week?
I'll have to give an underrot a shot tomorrow
If it's not bad maybe it'll be my third 15
workshop is super easy, just boring
I'm talking in a high key point
WS is awful
compared to others
JY is extremely easy
the higher the key, the more the zap bots do
and it carrys you
it's just live
basically
Ah, okay. I'm a pleb who only cares about 15s and a 15 ws is a joke this week
Yet timing 15s is still enough to make me like top 5% of the playerbase haha
🤔
youre already top 1%
ML is super easy
arguing which key is harder than the other is pointless, everybody has preferences
not to mention if youre not doing the same keys
with different experiences
I think I might have timed a 14 ml if we didn't get stuck in combat
I've done like 6 above 10 and not one has timed yet
rip
I hate the place
once youre used to it
whats your route tho
its so much fun
do you pull all the mobs in the circle before first boss
literally, once you know your shit, ML is heaven
Basically trying to be 80% before second boss
All in all ML and WM are both dungeons that I feel there's plenty of time. Like you can even screw up a couple of times and still time it (15s range)
But we're still past 3 chest point then
you want to be 91% or smth when doing 2nd boss
Maybe I haven't done it with good dps yet
then its literally just pillar, into boss, into pillar into boss
91% is probably overkill since you have at least 1 pull at each ob
80 is defo not enough, i can tell you that much
and its not alot of % on those pillars
Most groups I see do 2 packs by third pillar, and a bit around 4th
It's somewhere between 80-85

you do 1 pack at 3rd, and 2 snipers + machine and mechanic at 4th
the absolute minimum required there cuz the packs suck
That's what I try to do too
but, like ive said, only been in there 3 times total this season
Yeah, so it's probably 85% before second boss
I just can't get the trash killed fast
It takes my groups 20 minutes to get to second boss
And azerokk is a slog fight
azerokk is a bitch on tyr
azerokk is easy
It's long on fort evem
other than being annoying
except you
and hten you go pull
and more of the adds naturally fixate you instead of your dps
so they naturally group and everybody gets to blast
and then they're dead in 10 seconds and then it's just hitting a target dummy after that
such a pointless fight
We'd be tankier than them with the bleeds too
only time i've seen it take long
I'll do that next time
i mean they get grouped anyway unless you have brainless ranged just running around
is when they all target random people
and they all run in different directions
and the mobs spread out and nobody can cleave
Fixate takes out a melee dps every time for me
60 mil and the boss does nothing, dying to boredom
i think you're thinking of some other boss because azerokk on 18 fort only has 21.73m lol
he has the lowest hp of any boss in ml actually
feels like 60mil
What are ideal tanking trinks for us right now?
Im using a rezans gleaming eye and jes' howler as its all I've come across
Are miti trinkets better
vita/dragonscale/rezan/psychic shell/gore block
n'zoth trinket is the best one you can get
thats about all the useful trinkets imo
Which one kyothi
Psychic shell
psychic shell
Ihahaha true. Got it titanforged from a 10 in s2 on my dk. Was super lucky haha
Never touched dk again rip
vita is the best trinket dps wise
Vita + Psychic shell
is the best combo wise
The dream
Awesome thanks mate :D
Ill use some rolls this week on them in heroic
Wouldnt mind wrathion wep :/ wont drop for me the fucker
vita 📈
What’s the meta looking like for the upcoming mdi?
prot / dk / dh / rogue / mw or pally
Saw gingi is running with a mw monk which i thought was weird
Thought druid/pal were top
theyre running MW when they need shadowmeld
How's hc torment in m+? Compared to trinkets mentioned
Why pally? I thought glimmer got nerfed?
Yeah pally is retardedly strong offensively
For real? Since when?
glimmer got nerfed, but pally is still strongest healer in the game
Has good defensive cds too
Oof
I had a holy pal do 65k overall 2 nights ago
Running double devastation
Insanity
Sorry it was 55k
They were big packs in fh but still crazy
druid somehow fell out of meta with less requirement of utility off of it
and pally pumping more dps with good burst healing
and utility for stuff
MW became better with new haste build and also being able to pump good dps
i also wanna go hpal
but essences
and catchup
<.<
hpal seems so fun with just blasting big dick deeps
Yeah man blizzard have made alts unfucking playable
I started my war 2 weeks ago
Grinding essences can get fucked
Perfection. Nullification dynamo and shit. Highly needed essences and so much time consumption
Dunno why rep doesnt go account wide
Did it all on my druid and cbf again honestly
cuz blizz rather wants you to spend more time, rather than enjoy spent time
they want you to play as much as possible
for some reason
And another thing -farming rep for flying mounts is dumb. Bring back 5k flying imo
i mean technically you dont need to farm rep
if youve never stopped
thats what you have 2 patches for
I stopped playimg during battle of draz
And came back a couple weeks ago
So annoying getting rep in naz and mech
I have it now but still shitty
true
thats disgusting
having to do mecha and nazj now
for no reason other than flying
And i did it all on druid
Swapped to war now i have to do it all again
For essences
Kms
Legit playing with r1 essences atm haha
thankfully most essences are easy and fast to get and useful at r1
vop/lucid/sphere/aegis
you can all get them in like 1 day
and already do decent
Yeah lucid is hard af to level up
Think thats the follower in naj rep
And i really cant be assed after working all day
Yeah i gotta work out whats best for me
not like this patch matters in ANY way
How important is nullification dynamo for keys
not really
Cause im not using it atm
it really isnt of high importance
Is vop what reduces cd of av?
ye thats the recommended major
Ah cool
Im new to all this shit cause like the back and essnces and shit werent around when i stopped for a year
I like the essence idea. Makes it feel like you can play a class how u want again
Instead of sort of having the one cookie cutter spec / play style
well essences have some impact on your performance
but its no insane difference
compared to dps
most of your dps and survivability comes from proper play, rather than proper essence use
they only help you the form of secondaries most of the time
just did a freehold, lucid is amazing
Oh yeah, are we now using leech corrupted gear too?
And I saw the MW haste build from the talent change
Looks cool af
No, we are not using leech corrupted gear now
We don't use Lucid for the leech btw
There's a pin about Lucid and some other essences that's worth a read if you're not sure about the use of some of them.
It’s in the pins
wich one think is better?
disc imo
Speed
Nyoom
For tanking bosses in the raid the tentacle is probably better damage
I don't think they die, but they take damage
Yeah
Hello! So I’ve recently began pushing 16-17 keys on my warrior in prot spec and I want to push myself further. General advice seems to have soaked up well and I could do with a specialised opinion for pushing higher content. What is it that I’m lacking in gear-wise?
good corruptions
running fang in high keys is a big risk because channeling prevents blocking
ablative and crystaline carapace are shit
like.. yo'ure giving up UF for Crystaline carapace
literally one of our best middle row traits for one of the worst
id try to get DC on a diff piece asap because you're missing out on MS by taking it on shoulders
and i wouldn't run Strengh of the warden unless your group is all running passiveshit like VoP
Alright, I'll play around with it and mess about with my gear.
Formless is much better in most cases
Oo - good! I have that one
and the only time its not if you have sub 25-30% uptime
are powder shots from Eudora in FH intervene-able?
you're also missing CnS
which isn't mandatory but
its basically the best minor in the game
I gotta get that rank 3. It's still only r2
What would you reccomend as a good trinket replacement if I wanna replace the fang? It's 475 so a huge stat increase, but as you say it's super risky.
Oo, I happen to have all three. 460 butcher and rezan
or just use fang and set up for its use. its solid dmg
yeh you gotta stun into it its use
So shockwave -> fang?
yup
Alright, awesome.
Would an Iron Fortress + Bastion Chest at 465 be better than my Harpooner's Plate Cuirass? Iron Fortress + Brace for Impact at 480
In terms of survivability + damage
Also, would it be better I stack 1+2 deafening crashes, or would I be better picking up Iron Fortress in one piece? I have the pads and helm from Heroic N'zoth and Cara that I've only used for fury thusfar
Hey everyone, just returned to WoW after taking a break at the end of Eternal Palace. Does anyone have tips on soloing visions as prot? Currently at cloak level 5 ilvl 446, can reliably do one Tier 2 zone, probably both (did not try after the upgrade).
learn what mobs you can safely pull big with and which ones you cant, avoid as many sanity drain mechanics as you can, maybe buy some of the vision food (2% HP regen would be good if youre running a bit lower ilvl)
the biggest things will just cloak rank, getting elite extermination and gift of the titans
Yeah, I looked through the upgrade tree and elite extermination looks really promising. Shame I still need to dump three more levels in the chest detection, would prefer to spend them on sanity cap increase instead. As for health, I do not drop low in visions yet, although dunno what would be in T3 areas.
if youre not having any issue with the damage then even the 20% movement increase can shave some time off
the chest one seems kinda bad but it adds a lot of mementos to your run so you'll get the next ranks faster
@opaque rover Make sure you only go down 1 side on the top and then go straight for Elite Extermination
You want to get Gift as fast as possible; go back for the rest later
Elite and Gift are what make higher runs possible
Is there a trinket spreadsheet floating around? The icy veins and wowhead guides disagree with one another.
I guess it doesn’t super matter since I’m only getting Razdunk’s button and lfr vitas, but it’d be nice to have some target to go for
As for now I have the following upgrades: the initial one with orbs, the damage increase and reduction and the one the resurrects you with 500 sanity if you die or run out of sanity.
what CS % are you guys running
Prot doesn’t typically target specific % for stats
Prioritize ilvl > haste > Crit/verse depending on content
parry scales extremely well with m+ dungeons
theres a reason why it's nice on physical orientated dungeons and necrotic
theres a reason its the 2nd best stat in M+ lol
Parry is like
parry is VERY strong
parrys can literally save you from being one shot with mitigation in higher keys
The opposite of nothing
Potent
Excellent word choice
It's more potent than dodge and block
just lower %
There is some truth coming out rn
RNG is never a good thing for tanks tho so shouldn't rely on it.
This is world of Warcraft mwahi
parry isn't more potent than dodge o_o
RNG is everything
dodge is the strongest avoidance
how do you guys feel about using 460 azerite raid pieces with BoM + HoD over 475 mythic+ vendor pieces? say you have a 475 piece with BoM and a misc other trait, and then a 460 raid piece with BoM + HoD, would you guys pick the 460 over the 475?
No.
475 is better all around
okay, i was looking at the amount of secondaries you get, i didnt know if the secondaries were worth the decrease in ilvl
Doesnt compete with str stan and atmor
gotcha
Ans also the scaling on everything as apart of it
got it. thanks for the input my dudes! i appreciate it greatly
Has anyone done any duo visions? My friend plays Fury and I'm wondering if that would be a good combo
@lime locust there is no "trinket spreadsheet" going around afaik.
What trinkets are your concerns?

assuming equal skill level should be easier tbh, damage intake usually isnt the concern just dodging the sanity drains
harder part will be not dropping the burning bridges puddle on top of each other if youre using that mask
Stacks crit over mastery/vers
No rng mitigation vs rng more dmg
Ofc crit is good to pump
Them revenge resets


Hey yall, would you run double haste trinkets (vita + dragonscale -- both 460) or vita + sigil of warding?
also both 460
sigil isnt that hot, i'd use the 2 haste trinkets
Not sure for what context but in general Warding is pretty underwhelming due to the CD of it unless you need it for some specific part that would otherwise kill you.
In general i'd also run Vita/Dragonscale.
Vita + Scale it is.
Thanks gents.
And yeah, I was looking at the CD on Sigil and was thinking... "Eh..."
even cds of a similar nature that are better
like psychic shell
have a pretty niche use
unless you know you need it to survive particular instances of burst damage (like certain tank busters)
All you guys and your fancy trinkets
and i mean NEED it to survive
and know you'll be using it roughly on cd
then the stat trinkets are better for you
and will overall mitigate more damage, and provide better damage smoothing than the absorb cd would
rofl
def not hte teleporting TBF that spawns an eye bigger than the entire instance that ticks for 100k per
thats easily manageble 😄
worst possible moment
intercept and leap down
need to get outta tankbuster nzoth add circle
gg
Nothing will trigger me more than mage quarter in stormwind vision though
Psychic shell is goooooood.
That is where wow almost becomes uninstalled
For everyone
Pointless rank
I just hate running so many to get my upgrade before raid on Tuesday
ez pz
lmfao
The 42 resistance is doing its best, ok?
unequip cloak 😡
^
I'm behind on my cloak on my main cause I don't wanna lose the 2x Heart of Darkness I got going
Legendary cloak vs t3 TD cloak go
The virgin BfA cloak vs Chad pandacloak.
They should've just added corruption resistance to neck instead of invalidating all existing cloaks on m+ loot tables
Do they even drop anymore in m+
no
That would be a really asshole move if they do.
Which can still corrupt :(
Raids before Ny'Alotha?
No corruption from those at least
I got some guildies that still do mythic EP for trinkets
coral and font still pump
i need to pug on my DH for a coral
Inkpod too
big oof
I think I'll keep rolling prot loot spec for weekly cache just in case a shield or weapon drops with nice corruption
Feels worse than titanforging
Yeah, the mage district sucks due to those tumors
The first week we get it without lead feet will make it feel like a joke
We can already cheese Umbric with a toy
Just save five masks for org
You need both eventually
Never >:(
my favourite is when the circle of illusions proc in the narrow alleyways and you cant do anything but stand there
But imagine mage district without lead feet, you just run to the summoner
🙂
I lost a vessel because I couldn't get out of combat
You stay in combat for like 5 seconds after you kill a tumor
Feels bad when you want to play a mage but hate pugging
She's my last char to do m+ this week unless I get bored tomorrow and play the priest
Oh wait, gotta cap conquest too
Well at least I'm off work and no gym tomorrow
Im a bit uneducated, and now curios haha, what toy is used to cheese Umbric and how? @maiden ravine
I’ve heard you can use the golden banana
That wasn’t some weird flirting, apparently if you throw your golden banana toy at the guys feet it breaks his cast
Is there any way to deal with magic dmg other than ignore pain?
Because on +19 or higher i find myself melting from magic casts that people miss to interrupt
Shield wall
Demo shout
Spell reflect
Stop the cast
^stun, stun, fear, los
^yell at the dps if all of these run out
Null can help
What are good proffesions for a warrior tank in M+?
Proffesions doesnt matter too much rn. Only one that can have a direct impact is engi for the battle ress, but as a tank battleressing is spooky
Blacksmith might be a good option I quess?
Its good if you dont have high ilvl/good corruption legs and/or belt
Engi also gives a 480 helmet with DC
Blacksmith also gives keys(?) which can be handy now that we're not reliant on rogues
Battle ressing a healer on +18 is when your heart skips few beats xD
Sup bois. Gotta a question: Do you think there is an amount of haste after which you just don't want to go for haste?
Around 100%
Over 9000,
So if i go full haste im literally gucci?:D
Ye
Like i run 33% atm + 2x expedient + haste proc trinkets from 1 boss and raden + 2x overwhelming 😄
Never enough haste 
sweeet
I sense a lack of TD
but really is that good advice ? having total 300+% haste is not really optimizing :/ other stats matter also quit considerably.
I think 250% haste is where you can have 100% uptime on shield block without last stand? So that is when i stop stacking haste 
There's no real downside to stacking haste zosef, continuous uptime of 300% haste is not a thing, not even 100%+ is.
It's out best stat for the reason of cycling through rage and thus through CDs, increasing both defensive and offensive value
having haste procs i have no issue with but sitting at 50% haste and then on top of that having 300% haste procs (obv. an imaginary number) i think is overkill in terms of haste
id rather sit at 20-24%haste (rads thinks thats enough for 20+ keys) and then also have other haste procs whenever
i know there isnt
but id rather have vers and crit also 😉
Rads doesn't think that's enough, that's just the number required to have 3x SB back to back
On opener
That's all there is to it
That's the minimum haste with 1 ITF to get 3x SB, nothing more, nothing less
ok so basically go max haste ?
Yes
You can sim if you want to maximise dps, and it'll tell you in some cases to go crit.
But general rule is max haste
Even if you have 2.5k haste already, you can't do wrong with haste, it'll never be bad
i have to re-evaluate then:P cause i stopped using mecha rings with haste cause i was sitting at like 40% haste 😮
Mecha rings with sockets are absolute bis
If you get the haste proc
Ton of haste, Ton of crit
il consider myself lucky then ! cheers
Considering the value of haste, should we be socketing all gem slots with haste gems or is icy-veins right, str gems first then haste after?
Str gems are not wrong
!wa
Just get 200% versatility, easy
This tbh
That's the real goal
The one and only true breakpoint
It's an ingenious plan.
Eye of corruption and thing can't hurt you if you can't take dmg, so corruption levels don't matter either!
anyone have gunker spell reflect clip by any chance ❤️ ?
I know you can spell reflect the 3 minislimes ground effect. Can you reflect the similar gunker groundeffect too?
Do many here run above 40 corruption in high keys? I have TD3 and 475 wrathion wep, considering running with 45 corruption next cloak upgrade with the 2 of them
It can be fine. Personally I prefer <40. But for the one week I'd run 45, since by next reset you'll be on 39 with that combination
When your cloak hits 15, you can start increasing corruption res. by 3 each week. So bringing 45 down to 39 should be easy enough.
I prefer to stay below 40 but it's not too bad running above that as long as you use the tools to have to deal with thing from beyond, and don't need them for any mechanics in the dungeon itself, or don't care if you get hit by it.
i run 58 ez
I find the size of the eye and the slow to be a lot worse than thing from beyond
Ye defo
I'm running 48 now as I have 2x TD rank 2
Some of your corruption is going to depend upon the group too. If you’re running with people who can’t dps, that’s going to significantly increase the number of tfb’s you have to deal with.
So I feel that's worth the extra corruption, but I'm looking forward to dropping below 40 again with the same setup
I run below 40 because theres nothing i have that feels like its worth going above 40 for
my corruption sucks tho
ive been at 49 for a while now not having any problems you can just reflect
On xanesh our strategy is to have me do first soccer and cotank do second soccer group. From what I recall last week this lead to me already having 2 stacks when cotank goes to play soccer.
I might be misremembering though. Is it fine to have a tank in back-to-back groups or do stacks get fucky?
back to back will have stack issues
That's what I thought, thanks. Think it's fine to go to three with an external?
Maybe just swap on 3 stacks for the first
Yeah
Yes 3 is fine
Tanked 3 with nothing up on my bear when I ripped agro on our kill
Should be completely fine if you plan for it
Her hit isn't blockable and I hate it
Anything with the word "strike" in it should be blockable 



How do you guys handle spirit breaker ad? I tend to SR/DS one then just make sure ignore pain is up for others and kite, saving SW for trash. This is in 15-17s
I don't think SR does anything?
In 18s I'm fine with just demo+IP
I'll SW if I'm not healthy for some reason
Just make sure you have block for all his melees cause it's the increased damage taken that will getcha
Do you kite the debuff/just IP the last casts? Someone told me it was magic damage week 1 and I've just been doing it instinctively lol
I only ever kite him if I'm skipping trash with him (or getting out of aids at the start)
Yo does anyone know if Crit is still the best stat defensively for blood dks? I'd ask in Acherus but I want actual accurate information
An IP should be more than enough. If you're concerned though I see nothing wrong with rotating cooldowns (demo, sw, LS) until you're more comfortable with the damage
It's one big hit and then nothing until the next big hit
Vers should be their best stat..
@sick sentinel its not magic dmg but its unblockable so you basically treat it as if it were magic
Pretty sure vers has been bdks best stat for a while now
Was vers in 8.1 so idk what I missed
Purely for reducing ehrps crit was better mathmatically
I know it's still highest ilvl so I doubt it matters too much
I don't know any bdks I can ask though lol
I ripped with devastator damage once
Ripping agro as any tank is yikes
...
I do that so often in pugs it's horrifying
Some people do not understand pressing buttons
Like I was literally just autoing
.....
sometimes you're an LFD sera tankadin. they're a vop/glut vdh. you're just meant to rip
Imagine going full turtle 2 months into the tier
I was offtanking Vex with no corruption while the main tank had tier 6 twilight dev
LAMO
ew
Even in heroic
Yell at him
ewwww
Like why
Nice tank
Loses agro
Just solo tank
:)
Taunt -> proc td & lose threat
Death grip -> proc td & lose threat
Taunt -> proc td & lose threat
He literally was top dps in like a 10% scuffed wipe doing 85k as veng
Sounds like you need TD
I got devastation hour last night :]
just get TD 
You’re a devastation hour
Also tusks you were right I asked mandl & he said vers was the best stat. Crit is often 2nd best, I mixed it up because crit was competing with mast for "best stat other than vers"
Oh I had to also convince one of our bdk offtanks to not use vision major because the potential buff to TD isnt worth as much as just using cof
Yes
LooooOOOO
"imagine if vamp blood procs and I get a TD proc"

if
Vamp blood proc is 3 seconds
Tank god here ama
Lmao
Vop major for veng is a dps loss over cruc
Why the FUCK would it be better for blood lmfaoo
Because thinking about all the cool procs that can line up for one 30% larger hit is fun to think about instead of just doing more damage or something
Cruc synergizes so well with bdk too
Its a VERY haste avoidant class so they have so many fucking holes in the rotation
Yikes BDK avoids haste now?
Yeah haste sucks real bad
Glad I’m not playing that then. BDK feels like shit at low haste
I remember valuing haste after vers :(
It was good when ppl were taking the talenf in legion that made your bone shield consume double charges
Just because you needed a ton of haste to keep bone shield up
But now you need like 6% to have a "smooth" rotation
BDK was one of those very fun specs to play once you got in the zone and everything just felt smooth
Yeah I couldn’t play a tank spec that had gaps in the rotation personally
Mhm yea i cleared heroic & I did have lots of fun at times
But alts are dead to me 
I hope the spec is great in shadowlands because i wanna main it then
I wanted to get up bdk for 8.3 cuz it seems fun
mastery isnt 2nd best stat. it doesnt boost TD dmg
Then the essences neck level struck
^^^^
@mortal brook true
Mast sucks
Low dmg, about equal to crit on pure phys profiles but still worse than vers
Haste may suck defensively but i'm pretty sure its solid for dmg
Does bdk still use CoF in m+ or is it meme beam with void major
cof still the default. memebeam would work fine
do you have to be 10/12 Heroic or mythic to pick up the Raid skip quest? Or do you just have to be in an instance at carapace?
hello fast q. in workshop 1s boss pummeler do you also have problem with droping agro ?
Taunt on cd and hammer throw kite to hammer.
i mean my problem is only on pull i try drop both bosses on same hammer
]
but pummeler alwast drop liek 2-4 sec after pull
Takes 99% reduced damage so healer is grabbing threat
Have your group stack with you on pull, line the car up to run into the wall under hammer
(Tell your group this before putting key in)
not always is onlyt 13/14
You don't want to drop both bosses on the same hammer anyway
You want to leave one of the close hammers for your group to keep the other boss in
And you use the other 3 for pummeler
Yeah healer always gets aggro just wait to taunt. Then dump into him then get to a hammer.
And here I thought there were only 3 hammers 
Nope, there's 4 of them altogether!
Adding hasn't been a strong suit of mine
@sacred bear you just have to be there at carapace I think
thank you
now the real question
if i zone into mythic carapace, pick up the quest and not accept the lockout
will that work? and keep my lockout fresh
Myeh, by the time you can get all the materials you're at carapace anyway
Besides telling dps that they'll die, how do I keep aggro on tank buster obelisk and leap away? I feel that trying to face tank him in the slowing-dot lumps usually means death
let them die. its an important lesson
^ this tbh
I aim to ss+tc+taunt+leap and throw
Then someone dies, like a fury (bote+a free rampages)
All you do, is literally zone in, taunt + SS + TC > leap > throw taunt spam
Always does the trick for me
But I guess my dps don't go idiot autism spam
Hm I've been taunting after a few casts. But should taunt before
Daily reminder that wowA is good for prot warriors and that Leap resets Taunt CD
You should always taunt first global!!
Awww yiss
Cuz you do 4x threat during taunt buff
❤️
I feel like people forget that taunt generates extra aggro during debuff


Sounds unhealthy
Your poor aorta
Horny police here 🚔 put your hands up
i have no emote for this
RooCop
orly?
Roobulli
@warm plinth you got some horn on your knees or you happy to see me?
is urchin good now?
It was good in EP
Now not as good but still relatively usable if you absolutely need a defensive trinket and if it's 445+
Loses value the higher you go. Pretty easy to hit its ceiling
Well it's easier to hit its max value now, cuz higher dmg intake
ok
But before 20s it's not very useful, just like last season
so, haste trinkets?
Ye
Urchins max cap is 4k hps (obv higher if you stack versa) , which isn't alot anymore compared to healthpool
Haste trinkets like vita offer nice value yeh. Cant go wrong with better am uptime
Heroic throw does 4x aggro by itself?
Do I want to stack as much haste as possible right?
Yes
That 16x threat 😯😯😯😯
Yes
Should I drop td rank 3 for 12% haste+12%crit+racing pulse rank 3?
Well TD3 is below 40 corruption
TD is more important than the air you breath
Well that's a different question
TD 3 is 75 cloak gives you 42
Td is always better but if you dont wanna play with TFB then dont
That's 33, if you use essence 23
Any of you guys use ineffable truth
So it's still fine
Next week I will use 12% haste I think
Ye
And will have to cleanse my 465 weapon with 6% vers (hurts)
I have a 465 with racing pulse rank 3
I cleansed EV3 off of my 475 boots
I also have a nice rank 2 EV on a siege ring
But too much corruption
I think that would destroy packs
+TD rank 3 of course
I don’t have td rank 2, just rank 1
But I'd use that + expedient3 or smth
Should sim anyways
Should check cause on big pulls I suffer it
Mh...
Thing doesn't really hurt tho, most times you can just reflect it
Or stun it
Sometimes I use SR for KR for example and then I don’t have it for a big hit before 1st boss
You can always use cloak too
I’m not the best obviously so that’s why I prefer to run safe sometimes
Should try it out
Maybe next week
I mean sometimes you get two TFB and get completely destroyed
You have spell reflect/stormbolt/shockwave/fear/cloak to deal with them
Hello, I'd like to know if you guys prefer stacking as much haste as posible, or when around 1.5k you go for crit ?
^
Hm
I guess it's only to dps ?
Going for parses this tier is kinda cringe 
Oh?
Low and behold it was 31k dps from TD
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/jkTUsMBK5pJjS18JKxSdFC and what about that 470 ring ? is it still worth instead of 465 haste/vers ? (don't pay attention to this sim)
He got 7 procs in 2minutes
