Would you guys socket a gore crusted 475 or psychic shell 470? I am debating that myself, I m also thinking about waiting until tomorrow and see what I can get on my chest

psychic shell is pretty niche

and you won't find much use for it until you get into 20 keys

I feel dirty, I like doing dungeons on holy paladin more than my prot warrior

grand drum
#

do vision procs trigger formless void?

mortal brook
#

No

#

Actives only

dark lark
#

I feel like formless void is only good when there's a crucible user in the group

#

Otherwise I just run endurance

maiden ravine
#

oof, I could have a higher rio on my holy paladin

#

but that's probably cause it's easier to get carried as a healer

mortal brook
#

Not on grev week. Keep ballin dude

maiden ravine
#

I timed a 14 Workshop and a 15 Freehold today

#

that felt nice as a healer

#

I'm kinda looking forward to the Tyrannical, Teeming, Volcanic week

#

do I bother with a key on my warrior tonight hah

#

been playing other stuff

mortal brook
#

think of the geti

carmine wadi
#

What could be more fun than be top dps in many groups as tank with TD R4?

#

There can not be funnier things

ionic fern
#

A cat playing a piano.

#

That's funnier.

carmine wadi
#

that´s right

amber siren
#

I would bench myself for a cat

maiden ravine
#

If I wanted to do that I'd play bear or DH haha

onyx vessel

Bear pumps

sharp night
#

TD procs are pretty satisfying on vdh with meta up

#

300k dps on a 4 pack of mobs

carmine wadi
#

I sold my 460 leather feets + socket + TD2 for 1,2 millions yesterday. I thought better take gold before I equip it with my rogue twink 😛

ionic fern
#

I only got EV on my bear. 😦

#

And like 20% worth leech corruption

mortal brook
#

td1 on the baer. got him up to 450ish in past few days, will ahve 2 more essences tomorrow. alt friendly af tbh

ionic fern
#

++ the latest changes are awesome. Too bad they diddn't do them as the system came out.

mortal brook
#

staggered content and timegate is a retention tool

#

🤷

ionic fern
#

Ofc. 🤷

oblique garnet
#

Only reason blizzard made account wide essences was due to corona change my mind

mortal brook
#

did anyone check to see if ion made an alt?

sharp night
#

lol

#

catching up on cloaks is so time consuming still though

prisma crane
#

corruption slot machine is as well

sharp night
#

20-30 min per full clear

#

and you have to do like 30 of them to catch your cloak up

ionic fern
#

I got like 14 runs on my bear but i'm too lazy to do them.

#

😦

sharp night
#

yeah

#

my alts have like

#

30 runs available each

#

i just can't be bothered to spend the time to actually run the visions even with no mask

mortal brook
#

7~11 were reduced by 3 runs?

#

first several runs shouldnt take that long

sharp night
#

yeah the runs 7-15 are what takes a while

#

it's like 20 runs or something if you do full clear

#

most of my alts are around r9-10 cloak cause i stopped doing them like a month ago

onyx vessel
#

7 vessels ready for this week 2 from assaults

sharp night
#

but have the vessels/coalesced saved up

onyx vessel
sharp night
#

so i have like 10 vessels and 160k visions on each char

onyx vessel
#

All the corrupted peices

sharp night
#

just can't be bothered to actually do them lol

onyx vessel
#

Why didnt you do any runs last week

#

Farm them corruption

sharp night
#

only did them on main

#

can't bother with the other 11 chars

#

takes too much time

oblique garnet
#

Monks been lvl 12 cloak ever since nzoth died and i dont think its gonna go higher

onyx vessel
#

I only play my warrior

#

Nothing else is leveled

sharp night
#

the discussion was about alt friendliness of this patch lol

onyx vessel
#

No not in the slightest

oblique garnet
#

This patch is not too bad for alts

amber siren
#

just play all warriors

onyx vessel
#

Eh

sharp night
#

it's kinda ok if you only have like 1 or 2 alts

oblique garnet
#

Cloak is one thing that will slack behind

sharp night
#

even with the changes

onyx vessel
#

Bfa as a whole isnt been good for alts

strong forum
#

My dh atleast is fully up to date

#

Cuz I did the chores mini game every week on him

sharp night
#

i do the assaults

#

that's it

strong forum
#

Assaults, weekly chest and AP emissaries

#

Visions only the minimal requirements

#

0 mask runs until this week

onyx vessel
#

Yeah they were pretty much not worth it

#

Especially on alts

#

Untill now

#

So i change my statment this patch is good for alts

#

What can you do if it doesnt drop pepsihands

strong forum
#

Defo use it in 22+

maiden ravine
#

I'm amused at people selling 5 mask runs

oblique garnet
#

I mean you can just afk for guaranteed 470 corrupted loot

mortal brook
#

long as you tag the boss, np

oblique garnet
#

All you have to do is get ressed on last boss and tag it

maiden ravine
#

even a fresh 120?

#

nice

mortal brook
#

goes a long way. can still get like 1600~2k mementos/run too. rez, turn in crystals, tag last boss. gets you to Elite Exterm pretty quickl

maiden ravine
#

No idea what they charge haha

#

So, I like rogue, but pure dps is so hard to play

fringe marten
#

Does hitting that last boss allow you to open all 5 chests, or just that one? You can only each box for the boss you hit right?

#

I was helping someone with 3 mask carry and was a chore to get them to tag the first corrupted zone boss..they'd eventually die, use free rez..then use the orbs..etc to get them to hit final boss of each zone.

mortal brook
#

just the bosses you tag

#

but alleria's will have the gear piece

#

so thats the important one

maiden ravine
#

you lose out on a lot of echoes that way, but fair

#

470 loot is huge

ionic fern
#

470 corrupted loot is huge *

maiden ravine
#

not if it's all avoidance

ionic fern
#

I'll take it.

maiden ravine
#

I'm not sure if I care to do a key this week on my warrior. 😦

ionic fern
#

🤷

maiden ravine
#

trying to get into a group as dps cause I'm lazy right now

mortal brook
#

Think of the plat plating in chest tho

oblique garnet
#

I still have hunter druid rogue dh and warlock left pepsihands

noble coyote
#

is Ineffable Truth corruption any good for prot warriors ?

oblique garnet
#

Yes

noble coyote
#

Ok and is it worth stacking 2 ?

ionic fern
#

Instead of what?

noble coyote
#

2 x rank 1 Twillight

oblique garnet
#

Nope

#

Not worth over them

maiden ravine
#

gonna try a 15 WCM

#

bolstering sucks in there, but meh

ionic fern
#

It's not bad tbh

#

Most enemies have roughly the same amount of HP and the wormies don't bolster.

maiden ravine
#

well there's the courtyard dogs, but they can be pulled alone at least

ionic fern
#

Jep.

sick sentinel
#

So I read the writeup on the essence choices of the top warriors, and though it was very good, but is there something similar I could read about what essences I should look at as a new prot warrior? and a new tank in general. I seems like in raids people mostly uses crucible, and I assume that is cuz of DPS? but I'm most likely gonna mainly do m+ for a start so what would you guys recommend? or where can I read up on some alternatives?

ionic fern
#

#268491842637660160 has the links for guides - they are generally towards newer people @sick sentinel

#

But yes - CoF is for ST dps.
The best major for new warriors is VoP for m+.

sick sentinel
#

thank you very much!

maiden ravine
#

timed it with ease, that felt nice for a last minute pug

#

3rd 15 in time on the warrior

#

gonna be a race to see if warrior or paladin gets all timed first

#

next week is ugh

#

Explosive is evil

#

I'm not sure which week I'm looking forward to more, Fort/Sang/Grievous or Tyran/Teeming/Volcanic

sweet summit
#

Bring back vr from explosives pls

at least we'll be able to tab target them this time

ionic fern
#

Teeming ain't that bad without Fortified tho.

onyx vessel
#

true

strong forum
#

Teeming is giga fun

#

It sucks in terms of count scuff, especially AD is shit, but it's fun

runic spruce
#

Have we got anything that procs the hitting enemies from behind ring from mechagon?

ionic fern
#

What ring is that? 🤔

brisk ferry
#

it's one of the bit bands from junkyard

ionic fern
#

I guess you mean Logic Loops since those are the "Do something".?

#

Regardless...i mean..hitting enemies from behind.

#

😂

lapis tapir
#

what are the top 5 trinkets for tanking atm? best combo's, in keys specifically

strong forum
#

Bleeds can proc the 'attacking from behind'

#

But you have to somehow get behind the add to proc it

#

For like a split second

#

Which isn't really possible

#

@lapis tapir psychic shell / vita / rezan / dragonscale / urchin / butcher block any of the combinations work

Urchin or psychic shell for 21+ keys

lapis tapir
#

im having issues getting trinkets to drop, a raid had sympathy on me and gave me both of raden's trinkets, otherwise i have 430 eye, urchin, then sporepod and ward at 460

left hatch
#

eye and vita

#

the other half of the ra-den set is worthless for us

lapis tapir
#

even if its 430?

left hatch
#

even at 430 itll do better than anything else you have

lapis tapir
#

what about a 460 sigil of warding? with socket?

brittle owl
#

kinda poop

#

unless raid

left hatch
#

its not good

brittle owl
#

specifically ilgynoth

#

and that's it

left hatch
#

its an inferior version of psychic shell

#

so yah short of doing 20+ keys or mythic ilganoth

brittle owl
#

maybe vexiona

lapis tapir
#

ya a 1min cd is pretty broken

brittle owl
#

honestly though

#

i'd sim the sporepod vs the rezan

#

👀

left hatch
#

that might be worth for output

#

just feels awful to use literalgarbage

lapis tapir
#

465 spore vs 430 rezans

left hatch
#

sim it and take w/e does more damage

#

pods has basically no defensive value

lapis tapir
#

small healing

#

but will it beat my 430 urchin

left hatch
#
  1. we do'nt really care about healing were not a reactive tank
#
  1. its unrealiable and results in overhealing
brisk ferry
#

it will definitely not beat your urchin in healing

lapis tapir
#

so we are focused on either haste and crit or haste and vers

left hatch
#

haste>crit for M+

#

haste>verse for raid

#

but ilvl>all except for trinkets/rings

#

none of the stats are bad for us though, even mastery isn't awful to have.... its just devalued because we get a fuckton of it from BoM

lapis tapir
#

i cant seem to run away from mastery

left hatch
#

thatll happen

#

the ilvl and corruption is much more important anyway

#

and realistically your minmaxing a statline isn't going to save you until you're above 20's

#

and even then eh

lapis tapir
#

i really only do mythic plus, and i feel like keeping a minimum of 20 haste especially since i work around corruption

#

ya exactly

left hatch
#

for haste you shouldn't have trouble keeping above 20%

#

between into the fray, enchants, vita trinket

#

and for rings i go with whatever my highest ilvl haste rings are

#

and ignore anything w/o it

#

plus guerenteed slots like neck and back

lapis tapir
#

without fray im 20% or better on haste, then i go for crit, vers just tends to come with, and mastery is just on my corruption gear

left hatch
#

well as long as you arn't sacrificing ilvl for that (excluding corruption) you doin good

lapis tapir
#

thats kinda where im at

#

i like doing 15s or better, i just wanted something for survivability in higher and then some dps ones

#

but it seems like haste procs are filling that void

left hatch
#

the big difference between survivability and dps sets is gonna come down to your trinkets

#

everything else is the same

ionic fern
#

Just

#

Play

#

Decently

left hatch
#

corruption won't matter survivabilitywise

#

the only ppl it really matters for is pl pushing the absolute highest and have to make cheesy verse builds

#

and even then its debatable if its needed or not rn

lapis tapir
#

makes sense

ionic fern
#

I need to find the lowest ilvl shield i can and try to do a +15.

left hatch
#

however the haste proc does pair nicely with TD

lapis tapir
#

so ilvl is 466, crit is 22, haste 20 w/out fray, 30 mast, 11 vers

left hatch
#

don't worry about %'s

ionic fern
#

^

left hatch
#

theres no softcaps, and no 'wrong' way to do things

ionic fern
#

Unless you're using lower ilvl pieces. 👀

left hatch
#

as long as you're going with your highest ilvl in most slots*(

lapis tapir
#

even if its like 5 ilvls?

left hatch
#

depends on the slot

#

and for what

#

if its for a socket sure

lapis tapir
#

weapon

left hatch
#

fuck no

#

weapon and shield ilvl is most important bar none

#

with the very very slim exception of raiding, the proc>stat weapons are worth some ilvl

lapis tapir
#

how about azerite peices then? does ilvl trump skill?

#

i was 3x bom, and 3x dc

#

now i have only gotten 1 usable bom with clockwork heart

left hatch
#

stacking DC is a dead mean since s2

strong forum
#

I mean naowh literally did a +18 with just azerite weapons rings and trinkets equipped 🤷‍♂️

left hatch
#

end of s2

#

unless you're replacing it with like... absolute dogshit, like a piece that only option is Callous/bloodsport

#

the only trait worth ilvl is your 1st DC

#

even bom isn't worth holding onto

#

and BoM-clockwork is one of the best pieces you can get

#

ideal bis is 3xBom 1xDc and fill in teh gaps with HoD>Clockwork Heart>MS

lapis tapir
#

so plate chasse, kraken shell shoulders and ayssal?

#

chest shoulders helm

left hatch
#

some combo of that if you don't raid

#

the s3 bis was Abyssal, Kraken shell and Ashvane's chest

#

havn't looked at it since mechagon pieces were added to the drop table, and now that HoD exists

lapis tapir
#

i rolled the clockwork on chest and have gotten very subpar peices on other ones, raptor kind and riot helmet

#

raptor king

left hatch
#

raptor king not awful

#

DC or BFI and has OP

lapis tapir
#

for raid its good

left hatch
#

and a good damage proc

lapis tapir
#

can use RF for auto attack damage

left hatch
#

well good for raid also means good for worksho

#

so at least 1 dungeon itll have use

lapis tapir
#

id assume that in tyrannical weeks its good too

left hatch
#

ehh

#

not in most dungeons

#

since aoe is a significant portion of every dungeon but workshop

#

maybe.... in very high tyranical Seige or KR

#

but even thats doubtful

#

this games rng sometimes....

#

my 470, 465 and 460 vision pieces are all bracers with mastery corruption on them

lapis tapir
#

my other character cant get corruption on nothing but gloves

#

420 with r2 td

#

i really do appreciate your time, it really helps fill in the holes in my gear. have a good day and good luck in your boxes

Can The thing from beyond be spell reflected?

ionic fern
#

Yes.

fossil warren

We have 2 warrior tanks in raid. And they both demand the opposite

ionic fern
#

They are both dumb then.

fossil warren
#

One says always, the other says never

ionic fern
#

You can Reflect the Thing from Beyond + Fear him + Stun him.

#

All of them work.

fossil warren

sweet summit

If you reflect too late it doesnt work

#

Gotta be a bit early

fossil warren
#

Crowd control for sure, spell reflect ... thank you.

hallow phoenix
#

I've reflected TfB when it spawns right next to me, so they should have plenty of time to reflect it

#

If you reflect too early you might actually reflect something and TFB can hit you, though I suppose that's more likely in m+ than raids

strong forum

You have a grace period when it spawns, like 1 second before it can dmg you

what essences do i use for m+? Atm doing like 15-18s

lucid dew

VOP/ CNS / null / str of warden

#

i like pshyic shell and dragonscale

#

could also use a high urchin

warm silo
#

Okay, so no memory major?

#

Feel like ive seen it alot

lucid dew
#

thats for super high keys i believe

mortal brook
#

2nd pin for Memory note

lucid dew
#

I run in your range as well so I never use it

sick sentinel
#

You’ve seen it a lot because high end key players are playing at a very high level and doing incredibly large pulls where they need extended periods of avatar to survive

#

And they are coordinating such pulls around the cd of lucid. Tbh most players, even as you get higher in key level do not pull big enough to warrant using lucid major

brittle owl
#

also fight length is a factor

#

if the pack dies in 20-30 seconds

#

literally a waste

unique stratus
#

Is prot a good beginner tank?

sick sentinel
#

It is less forgiving than other tanks. We don’t have much to recover from mistakes or lapses in mitigation. That said, it is very strong defensively (in m+ in particular) and extremely good in damage

brittle owl
#

question is

#

beginner tank or beginner wow player

sick sentinel
#

^

brittle owl
#

if you played other roles competently

#

warr is fine

#

if you're new to wow

#

prot isnt the best place to start, it's rougher than say, a brewmaster

lucid dew
#

i just read the pin post on essences

#

on null dynmo

brittle owl
#

@unique stratus

lucid dew
#

is it really not that useful in a 15 then

sick sentinel
#

Not really

lucid dew
#

i always thought it was BIS always

brittle owl
#

if you proc it on cd it's fine

lucid dew
#

but reading this makes me think i shouldnt be using

brittle owl
#

but that requires some fiddling

sick sentinel
#

Outside of shrine/ml/WS

brittle owl
#

you can always log your runs

#

and see wether you actually proc it on cd

#

you can proc it in 99% of packs. wether you should or wether its easy is another story

lucid dew
#

maybe i should swap for aegis then

sick sentinel
#

Do you have sphere of suppression or lucid

#

Those are typically more consistent options than aegis

Also my other question - I need to drop a little corruption, 10 would do. Currently running minor essences (Memory, Aegis rank 1) And nullification dynamo r3. Which should i swap out for anima r2 to get the 10% corruption

#

sorry 10 less corruption

sick sentinel
#

so you are running aegis/memory/null barrier?

#

are those your only options?

solid crystal
#

I dont have many tbh let me ss

#

using vision in major

sick sentinel
#

vision major and for your situation (what you currently have) I would run lucid/aegis/warden minors

#

well

#

r1 aegis r3 null barrier might be better

solid crystal
#

ill need null in some dungeons though

sick sentinel
#

dont quote me

solid crystal

due to magic damage

not enough magic damage to pop it enough for it to be worth using in most dungeons

Casually you can always play, but trying to catch up to the 'good' people is miles away

#

Facts rybie

amber siren
#

i mean i'd run the weapon over the gloves for sure, so if you absolutely have to cleane the gloves i guess?

unborn aurora
#

Is lingering sporepods from underrot worth anything?

amber siren
#

it looks like youre running mythic though so you can get other 475 gloves in the future

#

@unborn aurora no sporepods are very bad

limpid pawn
#

i have infinite stars 2 475 gloves as well

#

the crit corrupt from the gloves is actually good?

amber siren
#

i mean its a dps gain for reasonably little corruption investment

#

ideally you'd just have a backup pair of non corrupted gloves

#

if not just cleanse them

limpid pawn
#

that's the dream

#

in... 5 more weeks i guess this won't be an issue lol

amber siren
#

long term stonks

strong forum
#

Can't you just run both + td 3?

#

That'll keep you below 60

#

75 + 20 + 20 = 115 - 63 = 58

limpid pawn
#

im a wuss dude i run under 40

strong forum
#

Man up then

limpid pawn

no maybe i will though

#

the thing from beyond you can spell reflect right

strong forum
#

Easily done when and where bucko, I have 2x IS3 on 475

#

Yes you can reflect it

#

CC it

outrun it if need be

limpid pawn
#

infinite stars working out well for you?

strong forum
#

Never used it once

#

So no idea

amber siren

lmfao

limpid pawn
#

lol what i thought oyu said you run 2x is3

strong forum
#

It's bad in m+

limpid pawn
#

oh, right

#

but for raids?

strong forum
#

I don't raid anymore but it can be your top dps

amber siren
#

shadhar, xanesh and maut are the only bosses you could reasonably run it on

strong forum
#

So it has literally no use for me

amber siren
#

its super rng

strong forum
#

It's good on cara and nzoth too

#

Cuz long fight

#

And only p3 matters

#

In each

amber siren
#

oh true

#

They stay up on ilgynoth too, but there's still a ton of targets to hit

amber siren

yeah ily in last phase is blood slime city

Like I wish I could run my IS3 but it can't compete with TD2 and we don't have enough CR to stay below 60

Get 250% mastery, and youll block 100% without SB. Ez

hallow phoenix

someone figure out how many mastery corruption pieces i would need for this

novel storm

How do you deal with the adds in junkyard that does run and gun? The ones that can't be tanked.

#

Feels like im just getting clapped by them

hallow phoenix
#

which add does this?

sweet summit
#

the blasters

#

stun them and nuke them

hallow phoenix
#

So by the end off the xpac with some napkin math I have around 8000 mastery possible with some +12% mastery corruption pieces

#

which is around 2k short of 250%

#

and only during avatar

#

With lockjaw shoulders during tradewind proc youre almost there

@brittle owl new to tanking

fallen hornet
#

been looking at bloodmallet for m+ trinkets, is that a good source or does someone know some where better for trying to find good trinkets for m+

hallow phoenix
#

For m+ rezans, black dragon scale, gore crusted are fantastic dps and survival trinkets

limpid pawn
#

best trinkets: rezans, block, wrathion, vita, lingering psychic shell

hallow phoenix
#

i always forget vita cause it never drops for me

fallen hornet
#

@limpid pawn in that order?

limpid pawn
#

i personally like the lingering psychic shell above the rest

hallow phoenix
#

Wrathion trinket is my favorite and i almost never take it off

#

i use rezans normally and gorecrusted on necrotic. Would use vita but i dont have

fallen hornet
#

im a dps main but building my prot spec because ive been using it a lot lately, i have 475 of block and dragonscale, but everything else is 440s

limpid pawn
#

the way lingering psychic shell works, it is such a huge survivability boost

hallow phoenix
#

Only time i've broken out psychic shell is when i was concerned about living certain hits/pulls

limpid pawn
#

it's an absorb shield which is far better than healing it later IMO

#

it basically is like a monk cocoon

hallow phoenix
#

It definitely kicks ass on fear lieutenant

#

and breaker of heroes

limpid pawn
#

for every single thing it kicks ass lol

#

even ra den, right after his decaying wound, LPS and you won't die

#

it just stops damage on the spot

Do DHs have to cancel meta for it

if they get hit while meta

Hallo, in atal dazar, if i want skip trash before 2nd boss, i just run i to it and také it on side, rest of grp run thru and thats it? Or do i need to dmg them?

#

I just did it 2 times just body pull and they went after the rest of grp

lusty grotto
#

you dont have a pylon?

#

without Awakened, you can pull and die and they should be able to go through but they do need to hug and wait until they move

#

you do not need to damage them

#

sometimes people are dumb and get too close too early

#

that's what screws it

#

sometimes you might get explosive orbs on that pull so you gotta be careful

#

cause that will definately kill your group if they aren't LoSing

limpid pawn
#

is it better to go full TD

#

or have that haste % corruption

lusty grotto
#

your defense is worthless against Stewart

#

offensively? TD

#

if you have to ask, since its pretty self explanatory

limpid pawn
#

i see peoplle using a combo of the 2 is why im askin

lusty grotto
#

yeah well

#

haste reduces TD's icd iirc

#

so its good, but having 40+ corruption is dangerous

#

as a tank

#

so i mean if you can manage it go for it, but if you can't don't

warm plinth
#

It increases the proc rate but I'm not sure about the ICD

lusty grotto
#

something like that

#

i was sure it was the icd

#

but then again that would be hella broken

so i stand corrected 😛

Echoing void is trash though right?

#

I was told by many in this discord to purify it

sweet summit
#

its not trash

#

its just not TD

south lantern
#

But compared to TD

#

It’s better to run 2 TD than 1 TD and 1 EV

naive panther
#

on warrior I am fortunate enough to have 3 td, but on dh I have none, so I stack EV. I have one EV option on war i don't use because it's low ilvl and I have better options for final corruptions. If I didn't have TD, I would be using some EV

i could have 3 BOM, 1DC, and 2 clockwork heart, or 3BOM, 1DC, 1CR, 1 BFI

for 15-19 keys. nothing 20+

i feel you on the CR, i also have to run CR D:

i could run clockwork heart instead of CR

if u stack 2 CWR traits can it proc twice in a minute?

no, double the stats

hmm ok so either 2 CWH or 1 CWH and 1BFI

just the tip

ruby violet
#

regarding corruption pieces, I've been running 2 infinite stars

#

though I picked up a few pieces today with echoing void

#

that any good any more?

left hatch
#

infinite stars is only worth it on a handful of raid fights

#

and 1 dungeon

#

everywhere else its pretty bad

#

EV would probably do more in keys tbh (excluding workshop)

#

since its consistent

ruby violet
#

why excluding ws

left hatch
#

workshop is that one dungone IS is good

#

cause its just a boss rush

theres like 6 trash pulls the entire instance
