AD is really our weak point though. I think our highest timed one is still only a 17

#

i've pulled whole WCM backyard 5 times by now

warm plinth
#

But we just never get AD

still pagoda
#

wall pulls gonna wall pull

sick sentinel
#

AD is deceptively difficult

warm plinth
#

We missed a 20 AD

#

By 30 seconds

#

And we had 6 deaths...

sick sentinel
#

Yeah you have to scream through that place

warm plinth
#

Literally have to play perfect

sick sentinel
#

We timed our 20 by like less than 10 seconds and we had 3 deaths

warm plinth
#

We're doing better each time though at least

still pagoda
#

honestly

warm plinth
#

Our other 20 that we did was 3 1/2 mins over, so we made up 3 minutes

In general tho unless you are running the level of keys naowh is with the caliber of players he is... delete what he is doing from your brain

You don't need much verse in keys tho

don't stack it

until the highest keys

If you start getting smoked in like 23/24 then you can maybe explore it

is there a TD emote we can spam

Nome give me a TD emote

@coral sphinx what level keys are you running

main vault
#

Well

worthy spire
#

When ur doing 25 keys

main vault
#

What you think, and what is true, sometimes dont match up mate

worthy spire
#

then you can consider other corruptions

main vault
#

Like, which is better

#

Taking 2 damage per second for 5 seconds

#

Or taking 1 damage per second for 11

sick sentinel
#

And DEALING 10472810 damage per second for the whole dungeon

worthy spire
#

I eh

#

I lost you

#

Anyways

#

Go TD

sick sentinel
#

🧠

main vault
#

Because point is the faster mobs die, you less damage overall you take

#

As long as you can already survive

worthy spire
#

Ye

#

Imagine if you just oneshot the mobs each pack

#

+5 the key

strange tide
#

Do you guys deal with thing from beyond or just stay >40 corruption? Or is it just a healer problem and I go for TD8?

warm plinth
#

We have a lot of utility for TFB. Storm Bolt, fear, spell reflection

still pagoda
#

^

warm plinth
#

Also >40 means greater than 40 btw :p

still pagoda
#

mostly through SR

#

or just facetanking this shit

left hatch
#

i mean... considering even in keys where naowh/nerf are running verse amps

#

they still have some parts of TD

#

id say that damage corruptions ARE bis in basically every situation

#

at the very lest its BiS in every situation us mortals will ever experience

#

and if you feel like you 'need' defensive corruptions in like... 20's

#

you're making some serious misplays

#

and figuring out whats going wrong there is gonna give you much. much more tankiness than verse amps lol

worthy spire
#

Wait

#

Ur telling me i can spell reflect TFB

warm plinth
#

Yes

left hatch
#

yup

warm plinth
#

And TFB goes byebye

worthy spire

I always run

w.e

#

Imma go over 40 now pog

warm plinth
left hatch

honestly, TFB isn't a big deal

#

even if you have to soak it

#

the eye ends up being the bigger issue

main vault
#

the slow is the worst one

worthy spire
#

Slow is aids

warm plinth
#

Slow at the wrong time is brutal

left hatch
#

i honestly honly notice the slow maybe... once in every 4/5 keys i do

#

cause dat avatar

warm plinth
#

My favorite is when I get slowed when harlan cannons are coming out 🙂

worthy spire
#

So

#

What if you stack leech

warm plinth
#

Uh

are you doing a hawgz meme

or is that a serious question

undone sun

👀

warm plinth
#

Thyme's here, run

worthy spire
#

LOL

#

max leech rankis 8% right

main vault
#

wouldnt be surprised if Thyme has an rss setup for the word Leech

undone sun
#

😏

#

i used to have something similar when i used BD for other key words

left hatch
#

yes tier 3 of leech is 8%

#

and it is 100% not worth considering as an option

#

even as a filler

worthy spire
#

sO

#

You could run

#

72% leech

#

🧠

#

nvm a rank 3 is 45 corruption wtf

marble cipher
#

Leech is heavily over budget when it comes to corruption per %.
So it's not even possible to meme it

left hatch
#

even if it was

#

not worth the opportunity cost

#

giga high keys would still have the problem of needing verse to avoid 1-shots

#

lower than that youd want TD to help timer

undone sun
#

tertiary stats aren't worth their weight in corruption

left hatch
#

or ilvl

undone sun
#

well that's a given, and a difference conversation

left hatch
#

eh people that are drooling over leech corruption are some of the same that thing leech on a piece is worth 10ilvls

#

in my expereince

#

dropping 10ilvls in some slots for leech is the play though

undone sun
#

no

don't spread information just to meme please

Im a vampire bro I leech what can I say

warm plinth
#

Thyme, you know you have a way with words sometimes

inland bolt
#

youre saying the secondaries on a wrist is not worth dropping for leech?

undone sun
#

correct

inland bolt
#

🥶

undone sun
#

leech does not have more value than any other stat

left hatch
#

its not just secondaries? armor stam and mainstat are a factor as well

inland silo
#

item level gives more than secondaries

undone sun

sometimes straight to the point @warm plinth

why would you give up actually useful stats

what did I say just yesterday?

Maybe Tuesday

#

Last time it was that Vers% is a legit build over TD

left hatch
#

lul just seeing that "noone has had a chance to run it"

#

yes they have?

main vault
#

yeah

#

😆 😆 😆 😆 😆

left hatch
#

its just inferior to TD lol

inland bolt
#

i didnt say its better than TD

#

i said its another build people will probably run

left hatch
#

in giga-high keys maybe

main vault
#

Yeah thats not what you said

left hatch
#

but its more likely itll be a mixture of TD/IT and verse amp

#

which is what already is happening

inland bolt
#

@main vault what did I say

#

please

left hatch
#

based on your msgs it comes off that yo'ure pushing verse% stacking as a viable alternative to the meta

#

in any level of key

inland bolt
#

when did I say that?

left hatch
#

full vers% is a legit build though
@inland bolt

#

its just that no one had the option to run full vers amp set as well
@inland bolt

inland bolt
#

yeah it is, I didnt say it was better than TD

left hatch
#

but saying vers% isnt a 'legit' build when no one has had the option to try it is kinda weird
@inland bolt

#

"legit"

main vault
#

No point in arguing, he is the type to nitpick semantics to be right

left hatch
#

implies that its a viable alternative

undone sun
#

or

inland bolt
#

why is it not a viable alternative?

left hatch
#

because its in every way inferior lol

worthy spire
#

Wait did i start a leech war

undone sun
#

it was already explained why

left hatch
#

you don't need a vast amount of verse for survivability

#

because the limiting factor on cap in lower keys is interrupts, not your own survivability

inland bolt
#

but people will soon lol and they already do

strong forum
#

Leech always brings out the worst in tank cords

inland bolt
#

going full vers sockets on war, with the option for vers% amps youre gaining alot

strong forum
#

A never ending discussion of memes

worthy spire
#

LOL

#

Guys

#

Just go TD

left hatch
#

but that build is objectively worse

worthy spire
#

PogU

left hatch
#

than haste stacking

#

for anything but world first keys

inland bolt
#

you won't do TD damage, but youll be on high vers

worthy spire
#

This is why we need a TD emote

left hatch
#

and what does that high verse give you

main vault
#

"you wont be as good, but at least youll have vers"

left hatch
#

how does that help your group

main vault
#

literally what he just argued

inland bolt
#

26 ML trash he's already dieing on melees

#

with last stand up

left hatch
#

and in 26 you'll stack enough verse to survive with perfect play

#

which is already the meta

main vault
#

Oh man I dont have the patience for stupid right now, see ya later Wars

left hatch
#

and everything beyond that bare minimum will go to TD to help timer

undone sun
#

nothing new, it was already said that it's niche to high keys

#

do you know what niche means

worthy spire
#

Nexii dont leave pepehands

neat crow
#

new to prot warr here, usually play veng DH or blood DK, what do we mainly do to play around necrotic affixes? is bounding stride an option this week or is it not worth? when i've been playing in pugs i've been trying to intercept to allies to kite, but puggers basically stand in the room so i have nowhere to intercept to.

main vault
#

Nope this is yalls guy now

left hatch
#

i usually run bounding stride

worthy spire
#

Dont leave me alone

left hatch
#

since this season

warm plinth
#

If you're playing properly, you can typically face tank to 30-35 stacks pretty comfortably @neat crow and then just shockwave/leap away to reset if you need to

inland bolt
#

yeah but its still a build people will run in high keys? how am I wrong?

undone sun
#

no one said otherwise

warm plinth
#

The idea is to kite when it's convenient, not when you're going to die right now if you don't

left hatch
#

really useful for the obelisks and you don't really need the additional range on TC

undone sun
#

it was stated multiple times now that it's niche towards high keys

inland bolt
#

then why is the vers% build being used against me

#

lmfao

left hatch
#

because you never specified high keys, niche play

undone sun
#

because you're passing it off for general use

#

where it's not

neat crow
#

yeah i've been trying that, i just find it a bit harder than on my DH whilst limit testing due to a lack of gear & overpulling as a limit test LOL

left hatch
#

you presented it as a general use viable build alternative

main vault
#

Because there are like 5-10 tanks in the world doing that level of key

undone sun
#

people have been saying it's for high keys, but you still find time to argue

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

main vault
#

and none of us are one of them

inland bolt
#

i don't, you brought it up

#

when im talking about something else entirely

main vault

Im one 🙂

if we brought it up why do we have quotes of you talking about it

#

🤔

worthy spire
#

Im naowh

main vault
#

not only leech, but saying youd drop 10 ilvl for leech

inland bolt
#

it was discussed yesterday, and it was just brought up

#

on a wrist

main vault
#

On anything is wrong

#

5 ilvl on anything is wrong

#

anything other than the same piece that just happens to also have leech is wrong

left hatch
#

you present speculation as if it fact, which spreads misinformation

main vault
#

And that mentiality is why you will never need the Vers "build"

undone sun
#

the last discussion about it didn't end on an agreement, and you brought up another shit take argument about leech

left hatch
#

and its a problem when a LOT of people that visit this discord are new prots, will see your 4head statements about leech

#

and think its ok to drop ilvl for tertiaries

#

actively hurts the community

main vault
#

People read shit like that and think its true, them come back asking why they take so much dmg

worthy spire

I probably should of never brought up leech

Shit's a warzone now

we forgive you

worthy spire

Thanks

main vault

Its gotta get squashed anyways

left hatch

and you should have seen s2

main vault
#

But, funnily enough, not the hottest take Ive seen today

left hatch
#

few world first ppl ran siphoning for a key or 2

and all of a sudden leech became the most important thing to stack

to the crowd that 'sees it happen once, must be meta'

#

"Leech is great warriors literally take lucid dreams because the leech makes them invincible for some time"

inland bolt
#

dropping like 30 strength(when we have 12k+), 80 stam (when we have 29k+) and 5-6 secondaries for 90 leech

worthy spire
#

Dude where did you get that qoute from

inland bolt
#

doesnt sound like the play to you?

left hatch
#

nope

undone sun
#

you're already dropping more stats than you are gaining in leech

#

how is that even close to considerable

left hatch
#

seems like a net loss in every conceivable way

undone sun
#

you overvalue leech way too much

worthy spire
#

90 leech is like

#

2.7%

left hatch
#

even if you're being generous and assume leech works with TD (which it doesn't)

#

it wouldn't be worth it

inland bolt
#

i'm just a casual prot warrior, so please explain to me if its that thoroughly decided in the community - is there some maths on it?

left hatch
#

if you want math @ionic fern would be the guy for numbers

worthy spire
#

Okay guys

left hatch
#

but just eyeballing it

worthy spire
#

I did a dungeon

#

I have 120 leech, and it healed me for 1.07m

#

That's looking pretty fucking mediocre

left hatch
#

why would 1,000 hps (if you're doing 50k without TD)

main vault
#

So you got 1.5ish hp bars, over an entire dungeon

left hatch
#

be worth anything

#

don't conflate hps as being slightly related to our tankiness

worthy spire
#

Ye well about 1.2 hp bars for me

#

1.3 ish

#

It healed less than my victory rush

#

I got 13 victory rushes

main vault
#

big heals tbh

#

😆

worthy spire
#

ye insane

main vault
#

and didnt even have to give up ilvl

worthy spire
#

indeed

main vault
#

In fact, leech is MORE valuable with higher ilvl

left hatch
#

ending combat 1/2 a second faster is a bigger boon to survivability than that amount of leech lul

#

and thats putting aside the increase to armor, stam, and the increase to IP size

worthy spire
#

But wait i've got more

main vault
#

armor, stam, dmg, total stats, ip size

#

So much

worthy spire
#

My resounding protection BEING A TANK did about 450k more "healing" than the leech

left hatch
#

RP is pretty solid

inland bolt
#

but at the cost of 30 strength (0.2% of your strength), 5 secondary stat(0.09% of your secondary stat) and 80 stamina (0.2% of your stamina)

worthy spire
#

Yes but as a tank you insta delete it

left hatch
#

its my go-to if the piece doesn't IV

inland bolt
#

none of these are even close to 1% loss in any of these stats comparatively

left hatch
#

noone said it was close to a 1% loss

main vault
#

Who said anything about 1%

left hatch
#

but you also gain nothing

#

1000 hps is actually nothing on a tank that cares nothing about self-healing

worthy spire
#

Okay i didnt really wanna be serious in this discussion, but SURELY if literally everyone is disagreeing you must be wrong somewhere

#

Unless ur more insane than all of us combined ofcourse 🧠

main vault
#

in the wow world, .2% of anything is massive

inland bolt
#

if thats the case why are most of the tanks pushing keys sniping leech gear even at base 465 - it seems like this discord vs the world rn

main vault
#

Your sims (assuming you sim? idk anymore though) have only a .05% variance

omg

You're not asking, you're kind of making shit up

Yet again

trail dome
#

@daring bay 🍿 here you go

main vault
#

so they can corrupt it

#

465 with bis corrupt is better than 475 with nothing on it

beyond that, yo'ure wrong lol

Not even talking about leech

looked at top 3 in the world prot warriors

daring bay

main vault

Just the corruption

left hatch
#

1 piece of leech gear

#

and its because it had TD on it

So if they are going to corrupt stuff, they are farming the only farmable source of gear they have

#

which is 465

so...... were just pulling shit outta the air now to try and prove a failing point

I wish they'd remove the stat

main vault
#

Holy hell just spewing bullshit

strong forum
#

This discussion happens every other day

main vault
#

Its like The Exorcist in here with so much spewing

inland bolt
#

what bullshit am i spewing, im asking for you to back up what youre saying with something we can look at

#

if youre that for it

left hatch
#

no the bullshit

#

is that you're claiming tanks are sniping leech pieces

#

pull up io right now. in the top 3 tanks there is only 1 leech piece

main vault
#

You are right, they are sniping leech pieces

left hatch
#

and its on a TD1 piece

main vault
#

But do you know why they are?

#

Or are you just going to parrot

left hatch
#

so they clearly arn't using them in general use

inland bolt
#

because there was no need to snipe leech pieces back then, now you can corrupt and socket them

main vault
#

Exactly

#

so now

#

since you know that

inland bolt
#

even the top chinese warriors are wearing full leech before the changes

main vault
#

Which is better

#

The 475 pieces they have with no corruption

#

Or a 465 with corruption

inland bolt
#

you can check on warcraftlogs, theyre doing 27s which are higher than the tanks youre checking on r.io rn

undone sun
#

are you doing 27s

left hatch
#

i mean 2 of hte top 3 are chinese lol

main vault
#

Yes, again, leech

inland bolt
#

I'm not, hes arguing that no one does it

left hatch
#

and no leech

main vault
#

They are literally getting hundreds of pieces of a gear a week

inland bolt
#

and saying names from top 3

undone sun
#

so it doesn't matter

left hatch
#

im saying its not the meta

main vault
#

So if they had the choice between piece A, or Piece A with leech, which would they choose

left hatch
#

"everyone is doing it"

#

is a fundamentally flawed argument from the start

worthy spire
#

No but there's no reason to bring this 27 key shit up in a regular discord where people asking for builds are usually NEW, NEW players do not play 27s

daring bay
#

Guys so i have a question, i heard leech is really good. Should i be using Siphoning enchant? :)

main vault
#

The only frustrating part is you arent understanding what they are doing at a very fundamental level

#

and just want to argue

undone sun
#

circling back to the verse builds, it's very niche and min maxed for cutting edge situations, it's not viable for the average player. but even then i wouldn't go leech

worthy spire
#

@daring bay LOL

undone sun
#

@daring bay 🗞️

trail dome
#

i really don't understand siphoning's budgeting

inland bolt
#

@worthy spire but we're not talking about the general case

left hatch
#

you're presenting it as the general case

undone sun
#

then it's irrelevant

#

because what top players do is irrelevant

left hatch
#

"dropping 10 ilvls on xyz piece for leech IS the play"

#

that infers its ALWAYS the play

trail dome
#

Like, did they maybe look at some healer's stat weights and go "Oh leech is op lets make siphoner really expensive."

left hatch
#

in every situation

undone sun
#

people don't copy MDI builds because some one did it in MDI

inland bolt
#

for leech sure, id run TD's in lower keys as well

#

id only run the vers% in higher keys

left hatch
#

what is a higher key to you

main vault
#

the only reason they are wearing leech is because they have the option of the same ilvl and etc pieces, and one has leech

#

14

undone sun
#

^

left hatch
#

which is the entire point weve been making. its not worth ilvl lol

worthy spire
#

Oh boy am i excited to bring it up later

undone sun
#

that's the only situation i'd ever have leech

inland bolt
#

but all you've said it that its useless, you havent actually showed math to back it up

undone sun
#

you're just nitpicking

left hatch
#

id stack leech in like... early legion when it bypassed leech

inland bolt
#

how am I?

main vault
#

Literally all he ever does

undone sun
#

for the average player, and ones who read class discords

#

it's useless

#

end of story

left hatch
#

^

main vault
#

I wonder if the pushers will still farm 465

worthy spire
#

^^

inland bolt
#

so this disc isnt for theorycrafting? its for the avg player to ask questions already in the pins?

main vault
#

Since they said they fixed the recorrupting thing today

worthy spire
#

Well

undone sun
#

no one reads the pins

left hatch
#

you arn't theorycrafting.

inland bolt
#

so theres no discussion

#

only circlejerking

main vault
#

You aren’t theorycrafting

undone sun
#

"no one"

left hatch
#

you present this shit as if its fact

main vault
#

You are feelycrafting

sick sentinel
#

Have I been summoned to discuss leech

worthy spire
#

Arguing isnt theorycrafting

trail dome
#

@main vault i know andy is still farming leech right now in tol.

worthy spire

HAWGZ

undone sun
#

not now hawgz

#

smh

left hatch
#

you don't say "hey maybe this will be good" you give definitive statements about how "IT IS THE PLAY"

undone sun
#

you missed a whole "discussion"

sick sentinel
#

I will be good boy thyme

left hatch
#

which is wrong

main vault
#

No Hawgz, get him

#

He said you should drop 10ilvl for leech

undone sun
#

hawgz will just agree NotLikeThis

left hatch
#

and then you spend 20 minutes making a pendantic argument where you present no real points and pull things out your ass to further assert that "its the play"

#

that isn't theorycrafting

#

its not discussion

#

its blatantly spreading misinformation to validate your own shitty strats

inland bolt
#

if youre sold that it isn't viable, why isn't there math on it - I'm making the assumption its legit because alot of tanks are grinding for it rn. youre making the assumption its not because you were told by someone else in this disc. I'm just asking what youre basing it on

#

its not even about theory crafting, its about a discussion

main vault
#

Ok

inland bolt
#

but its all circlejerk

main vault
#

So why are they grinding for it

left hatch
#

if its all just a circle jerk to you

#

kindly just leave

undone sun
#

seeing top players do it is just as bad as parroting information so really you're not any better given you own description

#

🙃

left hatch
#

because you actively hurt new players

#

and are providing no value

main vault
#

tbf just saying I saw someone do it is literally just parroting info

left hatch
#

reeing about seeing the reciepts isn't an argument, esp when i already said mwahi most likely has calculations about that

undone sun
#

😉

sick sentinel
#

Never ever drop 10 ilvl for leech. Sure it’s nice to have if you have equal pieces at equal but you are not and will likely never be as good as top players so quit worrying about what they are doing

inland bolt
#

@left hatch then i've asked you to share that

#

because that would probably end the discussion

left hatch
#

and hes not around?

#

i can't conjure fucking people

sick sentinel
#

Let me try

trail dome
#

Can you conjure people who aren't fucking?

#

Sorry, I'll leave.

sick sentinel
#

Hey mwahi are you there

trail dome
#

👀

sick sentinel
#

Nope he’s not around sorry guy

main vault
#

"Leech is great warriors literally take lucid dreams because the leech makes them invincible for some time"

inland bolt
#

youre getting triggered because I won't agree with you unless I get some math on it

undone sun
#

it's 3am for mwahi atm

left hatch
#

noones triggered

sick sentinel
#

I’m triggered

left hatch
#

the annoying part is new players reading this stupidity

#

and thinking "its the play"

undone sun
#

hawgz is in a perpetual state of triggered

sick sentinel
#

I woke up from my nap cause I had a feeling there was a leech discussion

#

I didn’t know it was a stupid one

worthy spire
#

Hawgz felt it

left hatch
#

i could care less if you stack leech personally, i just feel sorry for your group

worthy spire
#

Tbh i forgot what we were arguing in the first place

#

10 item levels for leech?

undone sun
#

couldn't care less

left hatch
#

its the new prot lurkers that you are helping to ruin the experience for

trail dome
#

@undone sun thank you

sick sentinel
#

Correcting a man as he flames

#

How dare you

undone sun

trail dome
#

Nah fk that

#

"Could care less" means the opposite of what it's supposed to.

undone sun
#

lmao yeah, means there's still room to care

trail dome
#

Enormous pet peeve of mine.

left hatch
#

right,

#

i messed it up

trail dome
#

Americans say it, ime.

#

🇺🇸

undone sun
#

it's a common mistake tbh

inland bolt
#

you are convinced its legit because other people in this disc said thats what youre meant to think, in the end youre also just parroting what theyve said is correct

undone sun
#

🤣

trail dome
#

My ex (who is american) used to say it and dear lord it got up my nose.

left hatch
#

im parroting what players far better than you and I have actively said

#

and mwahi, who actually sims this shit out has said

#

vs..... you who see a stream once

inland bolt
#

im just parroting what players that are currently pushing are doing

left hatch
#

and then parrot off what you saw they did

#

with no context or understanding

undone sun
#

how is that any better

#

from what you just described

sick sentinel
#

wait is that fake shawruss or real shawruss?

inland bolt
#

its not, my arugment is that you're arguing that it is

worthy spire
#

Honestly, majority if the people asking questions here are people that are fairly new to prot. If someone asks what the ideal stats are and ur out here telling them they should stack leech because they do it in +27s is just kinda pepega

inland bolt
#

I'm not

left hatch
#

and even beyond that. you're STILL presenting it as something all players should do

#

despite realizing that only world first key pushers are doing it

inland bolt
#

you're pushing that still

limpid pawn
#

is expedient still something people go for?

sick sentinel
#

Sure as a filler

limpid pawn
#

or are we now just all in on TD or verse for "23+ keys"

left hatch
#

yeh

worthy spire
#

Yes but why even bring it up if it's literally useless for the majority of the people in here

left hatch
#

TD5 1Expedient

inland bolt
#

because the vers% build is a niche build, its not a 'build' in your opinion?

#

what does that even mean

daring bay
#

Wouldnt Innefable truth be better? as a filler

left hatch
#

slight edge defensively

#

but eh

sick sentinel
#

Who said it wasn’t a build

#

It’s a build

#

It’s just not the best build

left hatch
#

he was pushing it as a viable alternative to TD

#

in any key level

inland bolt
#

not in general keys

#

i never said that

sick sentinel
#

Yeah that’s incorrect

inland bolt
#

again youre making asumptions

left hatch
#

you never said that lol

#

no we have actual quotes from you

undone sun
#

it's useless to the average player, don't bring it up
it's useless to the average player, don't bring it up

left hatch
#

about it being a "legit" build

inland bolt
#

your behaviour is actually pathetic

left hatch
#

then leave

#

please

inland bolt
#

legit build = all key levels?

#

what kind of logic is that??

left hatch
#

yes. it infers any key level

undone sun
#

yes

left hatch
#

if you don't speciicy

undone sun
#

how are you not understanding it

sick sentinel
#

This is making my brain swell

inland bolt
#

Conflict Major is a "legit build" but you won't recommend it to most prot warriors that do 15s-20s

sick sentinel
#

I won’t recommend it to someone who does 23*

left hatch
#

then its not a "legit build"

sick sentinel
trail dome
#

Not that I have much of a horse in this race but for what it's worth is it not worth farming leech because it's better to have leech that not have leech?

Specifically I know andybrew is farming leech on rings, which are a slot that dropping ilvl barely matters on.

Also also, he did say "Because leech is really good on tanks in m+, it's not good in raids, but it is good in m+." Which I think is maybe a little suspect, personally. I think while the great players often are well, great players, they can often be wrong about what's best or whatever. 🤷‍♂️ But it's not like a piece isn't better with leech on it. If you could take your whole current set but with leech on every piece you obviously would.

/ramble

left hatch
#

its a niche build that even above 20 is dubious

undone sun
#

it's a niche build at that

#

Legit infers that it's viable for anyone to use, the problem we have is your phrasing

sick sentinel
#

Not even niche. Nice implies that there may be a situation where most players could use it

left hatch
#

yeh thats more or less what they're doing it for, to replace pieces of equal ilvl with leech

sick sentinel
#

Which i believe is false for conflict major

left hatch
#

Lucid major is a better example for your point htere

neat crow
#

the thing is with CE players right now is they're trying to race to world first 30 key right?

left hatch
#

and no. i wouldn't call it a "LEGIT" build with no other information

#

because that would tell new players they should use it in their 10's

neat crow
#

and the scenario of ur leech being useful in a 30 key compared to say, ur weekly 15 is completely diff lol

undone sun
#

i imagine the goal for most key pushers is to get as high as possible, yes

left hatch
#

yah thats the other half of what hes arguing, he makes no distinction between world first keys and general use

undone sun
#

which is a completely different goal from the weekly key or the average player

inland bolt
#

but someone getting confused by the phrase "legit build" becauase they didnt spend time reading the pins or literally opening any wow guide on the internet

undone sun
#

which means...

inland bolt
#

is not my fault

undone sun
#

it's irrelevant

inland bolt
#

youre literally attacking my phrasing at this point

left hatch
#

so.... its other peoples fault you spread information

#

thats some fucked logic

inland bolt
#

for 'new' prot warriors that should be reading the pins or just reading guides to begin with

undone sun
#

because class discords are meant to help people

#

when you give blatantly wrong information

#

there are people to correct it

#

so phrasing is important

sick sentinel
#

YEAH

#

LIKE ME

inland bolt
#

you literally have an emote pins

left hatch
#

and if they read the pins then see someone claiming that its a "legit" build it tells them the pins are wrong

neat crow
#

IMO viewing it its kinda the same as asking why ppl aren't taking 2 unholy DKs and a DH in their keys & snapping half a dungeon's trash onto rezan

left hatch
#

and they wont use it

undone sun
#

doesn't mean you get to be incorrect

#

??

left hatch
#

because you don't tell the CONTEXT its good

worthy spire
#

Did the leech discussion finally end?

undone sun
#

you'd also be surprised how many people lurk and how many people don't read the pins

worthy spire
#

nevermind

left hatch
#

pins are a starting point, then they come here

undone sun
#

i've been in class discords since 2016, it never fails that people ask questions that are in the pins

left hatch
#

if they come here and see you spouting off about builds with no explanation the circumstance its good

#

they'll assume its viable in all keys

#

which is 100% on you for spouting off that garbage

#

and misinforming them

worthy spire
#

Guys

#

I have concluded that leech sucks

inland bolt
#

again youre attacking my phrasing on the vers% build

left hatch
#

its your lack of phrasing

inland bolt
#

it started with my mentioning two builds

undone sun
#

because phrasing is important

#

i already said that

left hatch
#

your lack of context

inland bolt
#

i literally asked about IT's

undone sun
#

read please

inland bolt
#

and because I mentioned the two builds

#

instead of saying

#

build A (SPECIFICALLY FOR HIGH KEYS, please dont get confused)

#

what kind of logic is that

undone sun
sick sentinel
#

I am curious why you came in saying you were a casual player and are questioning players who know and play the class far more than you. Forget all that other nonsense.

inland bolt
#

after i was attacked for saying the build is not viable

left hatch
#

attacked

#

i thought this was a discussion

#

like you wanted

inland bolt
#

getting sweared at seems like an attack

left hatch
#

yo'ure being called out for spreading misinformation, either intentionally or accidentally

inland bolt
#

im questioning players better than me because I wnt to know the reason behind your statements

#

most of your answers are blanket answers without math behind it

left hatch
#

and then when people explain why the phrasing is problematic

sick sentinel
#

Sigh

left hatch
#

you double down with

inland bolt

which is why I wanted more info on it

succinct response to stupidity

inland bolt
#

youre saying that every prot warrrior knows the reasoning behind the leech vs 10ilvls?

left hatch
#

i mean 10 or so of them tried explaining it to you

of course

sick sentinel
#

Just to be clear... We are here to help you... not to debate dumb things that have been figured out by theory crafters who we interact with regularly

inland bolt
#

@left hatch if I'm wrong thats fine, I asked for the math behind it - you didnt have it so we wait for mwahi

undone sun
#

of course not every one knows why leech isn't viable, but if you can do math i'm sure one could figure it out

inland bolt
#

stop attacking my phrasing because of it

stiff oracle
#

Im scrolling up looking for the math regarding the leech tradeoff as well

left hatch
#

im not attacking your phrasing

stiff oracle
#

no one has actually substantiated anything yet

#

fellas?

left hatch
#

im pointing out how presenting leaps of logic and speculative theorycrafting as fact

#

is a problem

#

in a discord channel tailored to helping new people

inland bolt
#

aren't you doing the same

trail dome
#

Is the issue with leech not that it's mostly not relevant healing?

inland bolt
#

without mwahi's math you don't even know your own logic

trail dome
#

🤔

#

God, i'm getting sucked in.

stiff oracle
#

is it?

#

can someone actually clarify that

left hatch
#

how do i not know the logic? actual stats vs. a smidge of hps

stiff oracle
#

or are we all feely crafting here

trail dome
#

But, it's free. Like, if the stat is free then that's obviously nice.

left hatch
#

and your argument is based on "well i saw a streamer buy some leech pieces"

trail dome
#

If you could choose to just slap 80 leech on a piece you obviously would.

worthy spire
#

ye but its not worth dropping 10 item levels for

left hatch
#

therefore its worth 10 ilvls

sick sentinel
#

Hps that is less than the average overkill

inland bolt
#

that was my argument for 0.2% strength, 0.1% secondaries for 90 leech seems like a fair tradeoff

left hatch
#

you also forget armor and stamina

inland bolt
#

its barely a tradeoff, especially on wrist which is why i wanted math on it

left hatch
#

but ok

main vault
#

@trail dome leave now or youll never return

left hatch
#

believe and do what you want

#

but don't bring in feelycraft builds and present them as if they're meta

#

please

stiff oracle
#

Im taking it theres only 1 correct meta build for prot warriors according to you guys too? 😛

#

for all content

#

hahaha

#

Im getting sucked in

trail dome
#

Weird take

left hatch
#

eh theres niche builds but thats irrelevent unless you're doing like 25's

trail dome
#

But leech healing is a constant amount of healing, the way tanks die that kind of constant healing generally isn't that useful.

main vault
#

Well, that is what meta means

stiff oracle
#

Thats the take thats being provided here to people reading 😛

main vault
#

Cant be more than 1 metas

inland bolt
#

yeah we're all doing 10-15 keys, so theres only one meta for everyone in this game

left hatch
#

well yah for 99% of content in M+

trail dome
#

Is what I meant.

left hatch
#

you run 1 build

stiff oracle
#

who says that

#

what

trail dome
#

Like how much did your leech do again?

main vault
#

No

trail dome
#

1.5m

main vault
#

He will get to keep going

sick sentinel
#

Because he is right

undone sun
#

because there's no one to stop it

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

trail dome
#

See if leech did 1.5m but it only healed if you were under 30% hp that'd be pretty useful. 🤔

sick sentinel
#

Go looks up what META stands for and you'll probably realize how retarded you sound

trail dome
#

I don't.... think meta stands for anything?

worthy spire
#

Well no not for everyone in this game

trail dome
#

It's greek.

worthy spire
#

Ur in a skyhold discord at the protection section

@sick sentinel and imagine that tactic not being the most effective tactic at everykey level or dungeon

99% of m+ content

One build

Is best

well considering that most people arn't going to breech 20's

yes

I feel like that definition of "meta" absolutely came way after the actual word meta, or metagame.

warm plinth
#

Hawgz why don’t you love me man

left hatch
#

you use the same build in every key level to that point

trail dome
#

Considering meta's greek and means like, all encompassing.

undone sun

the R in proc stands for random

warm plinth

I try so hard to impress

undone sun
#

not the R in rppm

stiff oracle
#

I guess leech wouldnt be very useful when you take no damage in sub 20 keys

#

that does make sense

#

it interesting that the question was posed regarding 25+ keys

left hatch
#

what, im not arguing for leech lol

stiff oracle
#

very interesting

inland bolt
#

everyone keeps jumping betweeen vers% and leech

left hatch
#

and my whole take isn't 'is it useful in world first keys' its how he presents it

I like this guy

Man you guys are still talking about this shit but really the thing to be annoyed at is the misappropriation of meta as "most effective tactics available."

left hatch
#

i mean yah it will

trail dome
#

Which is absolutely not what that word means. 😠

left hatch
#

the vast majority of players in here

#

will never have a more optimal build

for the content they do

inland bolt

"google meta" used as an argument... jesus christ

stiff oracle
#

okay I guess everyone doing key above 20's arent allowed to ask questions in here and pose any sort of discussion

left hatch
#

they are by all means

stiff oracle
#

this is a place for +10's to +15's only

left hatch
#

and we talk about whats good there in context

#

why are you making this an elitist argument lol

stiff oracle
#

because thats how you posed it

sick sentinel
#

Did someone say elitist

left hatch
#

not in any way

sick sentinel
#

@warm plinth it’s my moment

stiff oracle
#

when your only response to a leech build is that its not meta for 99% of all content

#

id rather take info directly from players far better than ill ever be

#

than base my thoughts on 'well i saw it on a stream once'

#

and do no other thinking beyond that

Nobody is feeding you information that you have to absorb, a discussion was being had and you shut it down your opinion based on whats good for 99% of all content

#

you are deciding to get offended over ideas that conflict your own

left hatch
#

not offended

Math sucks. Get a full leech set and go into a 25 key and play with the builds if you want answers different than what are being given to you in this minute

Correction

stiff oracle
#

all I read was that its not meta for 99% of all content

#

go ahead please

#

give us your explanation

left hatch
#

that the amount of stats you sacrifice via ilvl

#

is not worth the 1000 hps you'll gain from leech

sick sentinel
#

They could be gotten but no one cares enough about this topic to do the math when mwahi has probably already done it

You know, this is making me nostalgic

#

Because at some point in this ridiculousness, Sal would've stepped in and told everyone to shut the fuck up

left hatch
#

my entire argument about how its not viable in most content is that he presented it that in a way that made it seem good in ALL content

#

"its the play"

rip sal
