then yeah just cleanse it then
Bis lists don't exist in a world of rng gearing and corruptions, even if you can buy them right now
@strong forum funny cuz they litterally do exist
?
if one exists for prot i would definitely be interested in seeing it @slow bay because i can guarantee a full list doesn't
just nobody has put effort into making one
warlock and mage so far have it
i have not checked any other classes yet
Half the mage bis list says “equip highest ilvl in this slot”
ok, and tanks have variables liek raid and m+, so you jsut seperate it
not hard
really not hard
"BiS" lists exist
Which is better?
Vita + sigil of warding or humming +sigil?
but they're useless rn
just laziness, sorry to say it lol
if it's not hard you're welcome to do it instead of calling us the rest of us lazy
Which is better?
Vita + sigil of warding or humming +sigil?
@calm magnet
Vita + humming
i know nothing about warrior
i come here for info
and itsn ot here
so im disappointed
Oh wow really?
i dont make the rules
Oh wow really?
@calm magnet
Yes
Vita and humming?
yes
vita and humming
i run rezan and humming, but that's because i'm not so lucky on vita for now
both my trinkets are 475 tho
So in what situations should i use sigil of warding? Just got it tonight
like imagine coming onto a discord which is a free resource, asking for a list that doesn't exist, and then calling everyone lazy
I thought the soak is good
like that's some real karen material
just like most absorb trinkets
maut trinket isnt super garbage, just limited uses
like it fully absorbs the 2nd beam of ilgy
just not many situations like that that exist
Niche =/= garbage in most cases :p
Hmm if you think about it, prot has several mitigations
So its kinda useless i guess
esp now with the gear available and stuff yea
Skitta mythic shoulders have bom and hod on seperate tiers. Wrath weapon once cleansed is best haste/versa weapon in game. Even came with a socket
Skitra
Tho im not uber geared, im still at 467 and 2 weeks into maining a prot
How bout shield?
pray for a weekly, buy a 475 boe
like your offhand? whatever your highest ilvl shield is
Yeah im currently at 455
455 is sufficient
UR shield 💩
but any shield is good
Yeah, the 475 boe is the best if you want haste/vers, or I believe ML shield is haste/crit if you get lucky enough to get one in your chest. But highest ilevel wins on shield regardless, even if it's the Mechagon one
ilvl is the rule on shields
ML shield is haste crit
but it really doesn't matter
biggest thing on shields is block% and armor(which translates into block value)
BiS lists are a bit more realistic in general at this point due to fixed ilevels and buyable corruption, but there are multiple scenarios to consider and as someone already said it's not super simple to quantify tankiness
If shield block is up, no additional stacks?
stacks always go
^
But not block, since the attack is mitigated, not negated
Does SR help reduce damage from stacks? This might be a stupid question
It won't mitigate the damage from necrotic, but it will mitigate the damage of the attack that applied necrotic
No, Necrotic is physical now
It's a bleed so no
But largely the damage from necrotic is fairly trivial
How about shield wall?
Ah, ok, it was worth asking
It says all sources
It's the damage you take that can't be healed because of necrotic stacks that is dangerous, not the damage from necrotic itself
Only when you're 10% hp and have 60+ stacks
Like I'll facetank with 40 stacks if I'm still sitting pretty at 90% HP
leap away
Like matrons in UR? Or am I wrong
that's it
I use speed pots also
Try to kill it before it kills you, or run for your life
leap, intercept, use terrain
Im using conflict major this week since its really really useful
Don't do that
Vitality conduit ignores necrotic, so does spirit link
VoP then?
VoP nearly always
Vop generally for anything lower than 21
^
Ohh okok
I watched some nerftank videos and I saw he uses CnS on necrotic weeks
MOAR DAMAGE
He's also doing pug viewer keys in those videos
So he's likely just using it in case the healer/rest of the group sucks
i go total nitpicking and get good DPS for my keys usually
I love playing with CnS major. I guarantee you stopping slimes in JY, charges in AD, etc is gonna save you a few wiped/deaths. It being better than VoP or others is another story.
So when can you say that you are a pretty good tank? I’d like to rate my progress
in one of those videos he actually commentates that he shouldn't of taken CnS because there was an assassination rogue in the group which will be breaking his TC root, it's definitely not an instant-lock on necrotic week
^
Yeah i saw that
and most importantly, it is not really a pick on necrotic weeks
I mean, you can avoid/cc slimewave, and you can bait charges to a snap point with a ranged DPS/healer for AD
So
no root breaking slows? BRO, big dps always exists
That doesnt guarantee my pugs are gonna do it, @warm plinth
TC root is easily breakable
Well that's irrelevant really. Because in the situations he's talking about, it only takes a split second root to stop them
So how do I rate my tanking? I want to gauge if I’ve improved or not
Tc root doesn't break, it only doesn't apply if there's a >=30% slow
^
It's a 1sec root
Only reason I would use CnS is for the utility to stop loads of charges
Sphere perfectly breaks cns major
^
^
So never play them together
I very much like cns major in the aforementioned dungeons.
JY and UR. Let's you stop alot of annoying mechanics and save your dps' life every now and again.
It can also stop TFB 
During avatar nothing moves
i run VoP exclusively, but again. I'm stuck in 17's rn
Is it really tough in pugs or do I suck, I’ve done 12,13 and 14 today and all didnt finish
Pepehands

and did you struggle with incoming damage/
Pug Life doesnt help
?
Pug Life doesnt help
Pug life can be somewhat good if you do your own keys mostly
No, I dont like to blame but
Yeah
12-15 bracket is a literal hell of the game
How many vers3 should I buy
I’d like to do some 13 and 14s consistently
well, run your own key
anything less than a 15 is a lower key imo
and get picky AF with dps
You can run your own key and be picky af and still get a shit group
Hm
Lol yeah
You can run your own key and be picky af and still get a shit group
@warm plinth
Less chance of such still
and a bit more control
Well of course, but there's no way to guarantee success. Sometimes you're just not lucky
I’ve done more damage than a bm hunter today, I’ve only got 2 td 1s
Just make sure to take people with 3k IO, then youknow they'll be good
even good players make errors in keys
^
True, but they are way less likely to
everyone makes errors
So what shows as my tank io?
I've played with 3k players that sucked ass
LOL what?
same
Then they are trolling
Yeah dude, believe it or not, people get carried to even that high of a rating
i've seen 3k players that were real shit
No, some people just suck
you cant really get boosted to 3k without knowing wtf youre doing
That's completely and utterly untrue
If it was that easy
Yeah
everyone would have 3k
Not everyone has friends willing to carry their ass
I’ve played with 2k players who dont know that the tentacles in sots will slap yo ass so hard
every dungeon in time at 15 is around 2.2k, dont need to do 20+ for 3k io
2k and 3k are way different
Just make sure to take people with 3k IO, then youknow they'll be good
@native tangle if only this was even remotely true
You do need to do 20+ for 3k io
20's are not even close to easy
20 JY 
Depends on perspective
every dungeon in time at 15 is around 2.2k, dont need to do 20+ for 3k io
@amber siren
2.1k more so. I have nearly all +15's timed(except for UR) and at 1984 rio
is it? i thought JY and WS made it possible
All timed 19s is 2832 score assuming base score
JY is the exception if you have a good route
TIL 
But score doesn't really go up significantly with time
These are my keys and I'm 2930

Timing a higher key level will always be a larger upgrade then 2 chesting a lower key
Honestly, i really want to bump more
That's not what I meant
this is from yesterday
I meant that you don't really gain significant score by timing a dungeon faster vs just timing it
^
That's obvious tho
Base score for a 20 is 259 and my 20 JY which is 5 mins under is only 3 more points
Powerful
The bane of my existence is sots
Not bad start, if you wanna improve then keep at it
worth dropping 15 ilvls and honed 3 on my belt for twilight dev 3?
My group always manages to wipe on 2nd boss
how good is TD?
Do we run IF1 or IF3?
So is a 445 with td3 better than a 460 with td1?
And i also have a 470 belt with td1 which makes it tier 4 td?
Sure, go for it
Ohhh I always thought that higher ilvl is better since more stats
As long as it's not a shield or a weapon
Yeah that was before corruption existed
Specifically before TD existed
Twilight bypasses laws of ilvl
Yeah TD is the bomb
Why is TD bad on a shield or weapon?
It's not
Although this game is trolling me, I’ve done 3,4 and 5 masks this week to get more corruptions for prot. All gave me pants
Like wth
But those are the two slots where you wouldn't sacrifice ilevel for it
You always wanna wear highest ilvl on Shield and weapon
Ah ok
How much ilvl is vers worth

I have crap luck with those, my shield and weapon are both 460
ZERO until you go for +24-25 keys
Do you stream @strong forum ?
I'm trying to figure out how many verse 3 I need for the 1 weekly 15 I run on my warrior pls help
Rarely
Maybe I could watch some of your runs to get a better understanding
What does log mean
You guys
🏃
Hawgz
You can watch my vods if you want, if you can stomach some terrible memes
Hello bear
One of the memes being that you think Nome is a good tank
Close
Its ayt, I enjoy memes
❤️
One of the memes being that you think Nome is a good tank
We're all shit tanks here
Some more than others (like me)
I just tanked in my vdh having never played the spec
We're all shit tanks here [2]
Ye cuz we dont have enough vers
i'm just shittier than others
That spec is brain dead why doesn’t everyone play it
Hawgz just go do a King's Rest or Motherlode
@warm plinth That was my line
You are immortal
And wonder why you're still playing a prot war
Cuz you need specific gear for high keys, and dmg + threat issues
But it is immortal
I'm now running td3 + expedient 3 + 2x raden
Imagine not getting decimated by Rixxa or Zul
My dh now pumps
The 390 weapons were a real downer in my 15 UR
Anyways, thanks for the answers guys
I hated VDH until i tried glut spec, way more fun
Night all
N8
Later
Fun is a bit of an overstatement
It's fun af
Pressing two buttons is not fun
I love being an unkillable god
Timing keys because you can’t die
And powerful has some fun aspect to it
That is fun
Yeah he is getting geared so I don’t have to think in high magic situations
Not because I can’t on war
Being OP is always fun [2]
But because I don’t want to
don't mind me nuking whole TD beach with 400k dps
did you guys buy ineffable truth?
should i stack vers corruptions or just save TD?
save for td
i saw some people going on about stacking vers being the best thing or something
i just wanna do my weekly 15
How dare you
Then you want TD TD TD and more TD
kk
then yeah won't need vers for a 15
ty
@tame garden 
Get TD8, 15s are a joke
^
Can literally play 100 corruption in them
Are you tomo :pog:
what for mythic raids? (only reached 5 progressing xanesh atm) worth getting the vers% for that?
Nope
Speg I might go guardian main
Na, at this point you outgear raid

You should* outgear raid
🐻 👍
Going vers is only for if you're not overgearing raid
in raid if you are not a damage pumping survival sacrificing mongo are you even a mythic raider
dodge 0 mechanics
maintain optimal pump
Imagine not getting TD3 from your first vision ever at cloak level 1
Nome

Why are you like this
Cuz I deserve it
Imagine not getting TD3 from your first vision ever at cloak level 1
@strong forum
Clearly
What corruption we going then boys? vers amp or TD?
@warm plinth you jealous
TD all the way volt
even for 20+ keys?
do you like to accidentally pull packs with a rogue beam
Yes
TD
I'm a DH. My BiS corruption is ez
Even in 26s people are running minimum of TD3
IT on dh, what
For blade dance or what
Yeah apparently the BiS setup when all is said and done is TD4/IT1/Expedient3
Well I got that in the bag, have 475 mechagon combo with socket + expedient 3 and TD1
ghash what corruption do i want
Leech
Which I'm pretty comfortable with but my healer feels differently 
:^)
naowh is running IT atm, anyone tested it?
its meh
It is very good
gonna get some vers 3 when the vendor swaps then save for dev
got some IT earlier today
Has EU not swapped yet?
45 minutes
no 45 mins
Ah
Abuse them how
We know what's on the next vendor
they get to see it first
Before needing to decide
before they buy
You have to gamble if you wanna buy expedient now, or wait too see what next vendor has
And we get to see both options
I've saved on expedient, i've got a racing pulse 1h which fills it
Racing pulse isn't half bad, but expedient is better
Except for WF race
What's wrong?
yeah only use it when running heavy vers in raids
Oh, yeah that's true enough
also
Nome is EU btw
i fear Method clearing out auction house next tier
since i'm now a Kazzak-EU player

and they did clear out 3 servers worth of auction
Method bought limits tanks, so that's gonna be interesting
well, maybe i will try flipping gold out of this situation
They're getting their strongest roster yet I reckon
ye
Soooo, rank 3 TD, rank 1 IT, rank 3 vers amp and gem vers?
Only gem vers when you're doing 24/25+
WF guilds poaching people from each other is a really fun thing to watch tho
Or run a suboptimal setup
It's kinda weird though when you know method is literally buying them
But that's how it goes now
It's a business
didn't they just steal lightee
my favourite is by far when method eu lost their MDI spot and method then bought another team
method i mean

Buying both tanks is hilarious
was naowh at limit before? can't remember
For bod
Is there any explanation to why does top warcraftlogs people run crucible of flames as major or are they just too well-geared to care?
CoF > Vision?
Raids are a meme go full dam
highest ST damage essence
Bod and EP he was limit
@strong forum
Changing regions like gloves
Ye.
so just weave it in between?
You just use it on CD
Not very hard, but easy 5k+ dps gain
However if you aren't the best at playing your class it's not advised to run max dmg
^
But the biggest survival gain in any situation is playing properly.
So Cof Major is what the good tanks run
In raid
So now that we can perfect world set up corruption, what's the play? I've seen the full 6 vers and verse proc to help with keys. Seems reliably parsing too from WCL. Is that worth the grind?
What's the max damage setup as I'm already sitting at TD 5
^
Then what CoF major, lucid, CS, the new one with stats and corruption, then stack haste gems and wrathion trinket and vita?
you can run like this
Cof major
Vop/cns/void minor
sphere is basically free ~400 haste
Ye but it's not gonna beat vop minor
ofc
Devastator on everything but hivemind and vex adds?
took my TD3 to a vison, holy shit guys, I had no idea
1shotting packs
TD OWNS
There are a log of full vers parses too now, it's just consistency if you don't get TO to proc
tfw ive yet to get a single TD on any piece of gear during 8.3
Is it just full haste gems or do people sim and play between haste and crit
Whatever sim tells you
Vers makes your Cof hit harder
So. Idk
Whatever sim tells you, go with that
I'm not smarter than the sim
quick napkin maf
Only @ionic fern is :hehe:

Need more haste I think pog
Ye 19 is nothing
and good azerite
im gonna reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
And get rid of those sporepods
I'm the n'zoth ring away from max gear so figured I may be able to actually play to parse soon.
But then tried without shell and first eye beam on carapace they didnt heal me through it :(
sporepods only for M+ xD
It's dog
haven't got the maut or nzoth trink yet
if take filthy transfusion over BS, if its the head i think it is
maut trinket bad
Just equip vita or rezans

Also enchant force multiplier
Go with butchers then
butchers and vial are good
It's a good trinket
why force multi? thought it sucked
it owns
force mult is the best enchant for dps
I have no idea what I'm looking at there
same
ill try to explain then
Sup qtpies
lets say you have more crit than haste baseline, and force multi procs; giving you str and crit
:waveboye1:
:roopeek:
then you get an overwhelming power/rezan/scale/vita (any haste thing) proc, and now haste is your highest stat
and force multi procs again
you have force multi crit+haste+str up at the same time
Oh I’m with you
force mult can have multiple instances of its proc active
yes
it has very high uptime on good amount of mainstat + secondary
also, with BoM you can get even more mastery inside avatar 
:roopeek:
I’ll only run butchers block on a TD build though I think
i would kindly disagree
crit has better defensive value in M+ and parry increases in value with more targets
scale+block is great in any content, for any "build"
literally get rid of sporepods, the RNG nature of it isnt favourable, it procs when you dont need the heal, and then doesnt proc when you could need it
it does a metric ton of overhealing
wasting procs

Hello.
Im sorry I abandoned you. I've been busy 😦
hi there
Who is Riki
Anyone know who that is?
Riki is mwahis ferret
riki is a gnome
how many pets does mwahi have smh
A lot.
RIP Lincoln
You been to the zoo?
That place ain't got nothing vs my pets.
o dam
I actually got pinged. The answer to "Is x better for me than Y?" is...sim yourself.
👍
yes
What on earth
VULPERA BIS
what the shit

90% vers but I still die to necrotic :( this game is shit
:(((((
😭
T D.



f
So close.
It was a mistake
And that's only TD3
Do you think blizzard would refund me if I open a ticket
are you even trying mwahi
unluck
get more then hello??
I just did a 15 ML for the first time last night. How do you survive the trixxi fight?
Spell reflect every other chemical burn
spam IP, use cds
communicate with your healer on CDs
reflect burn
^
dont overlap them
dont die
lucid and spam IP lmao
While wondering how VDH doesn't take damage on that fight
@sweet summit 
and then reflect the burn when you can
lucid on 15 is overkill

😦 that’s what I did
do it better then
not on tyrannical
It absolutely melt
if i can do it on 21 with an Rsham healer, you can do it on 15
keep demo shout up for when you can't reflect a burn also
aren't her autos magic and not melee also? so SB is worthless?
yep
more SS dam tho
same as the last boss
yeah just dump everything into IP then
Alright. Thanks for the tips
been in this discord an hour and learnt like 15 things pog
👍
big warrior brain

so i'm changing vers gems for haste? seeing as dev is the go to build?
haste owns
ye
vers does not
gotcha
can block the slam on last boss, so tiny bit of use
standing in slam tho 
no, if you face where its landing its blocked
To the whole party
you can block the entire thing
oohhh
Also dodgeable btw.
same as you can block the Mega Drill in Workshop
So if you just randomly don't take damage from it, that's why
Also dodgeable btw.
😂
its almost as if you can block the same stuff you can dodge
but can i parry it with my ineffable ravager
🗞️

you can block the entire thing
@strong forum last boss in ML?
i got more ineffable items now, maybe time to try it again
oh shit and it doesn't damage the party?
pillars*
wondered if there was any cheats for it
playing vdh
but its true

FeelsWeirdMan
i don't speak russian but assuming that's dev
oh its the sword
vendor time
i already have cleansed 475 maut axe
I want some amps for pvp
For sure
Gotta abuse the fact that i have 4x gushing wounds before nerf tho
i want some TD3 and then shitton of haste amp for arms
I know CnS is one of my best essences, but i'll only have it at rank 1 (on reset) so is it worth using?
currently have VoP(3) major, Strength of Warden(3),Anima(3),Aegis(2)
its not worth using until R2, and even then R3 is the biggest reason to run it
If you get 1k arena rating before reset, you get R2 right away btw
with anythibg
Idk if you have 1k rating or not
litarally anything is better than anima
replace anima ASAP
remove anime yea
anime bad
it's shit
weebs out
anime 
https://i.imgur.com/8Za3qbM.png @ionic fern should i use this now that everybody stacks vers


cock

he's just memeing
oh ok
verse stacking is a meme
@strong forum 
What if you stack hthe forbidden word
L E E C H
tfw you've just bought vers amp
uhoh
If you haven't put it on anything yet, it's refundable
i mean we cant stop you, you are always free to do as you like
and not everything is about playing the most optimal stuff
or illegal
Streaaaam
its easy with TD
I want to watch
🙂
stream
i'm just getting into pushing 21+ and vers seems to work for me, but i'll save for dev now
im doing mine soon too
i can sure
POOGY
let me follow
^-
ahahah

It's in his profile
Yo does anyone have the twitchemotes addon on wow
yeah
You in-game right now?
isnt that just :homies:
epic
ye homies
gachiSLAP is also Pog

very true

and the game also didn't give me chests for those 2 zones i did before it happened
what a time to be alive...
it was a smooth run tho
could have nuked Rexxar with all the stuns i have

What a weekly :/

is the engi helm any good for prot?
its a 475 with DC, so yeah
RNG and OP/UF is also solid
but there are better helmets
Bis trinket
@sick sentinel
it takes one moron dying from first boss's charge in SotS to ruin the key

at least this was not my key
Hey quick question; are you guys doing world quests, visions and assauslts as protection or is that to unefficinet?
Kinda need to lern the spec so using it as training, but dunno if im a bit slow now
So switching to arms or fury is not gonne massivly increase my killingtime?
I do everything as arms, its a lot faster
Ive done everything solo as arms up until now, but now that I have TD Im reconsidering
In visions, the mobs gets a 25% nerf right? So I guess thats fine, but out in the world?
well what i plan too hmmmmmmmmmmmm
finally. taken 25 dungeons to do. Only
to replace now.

big gamer

fuck...
+17 UR
2 DPS guys die to every fucking cleave
and tantrum

how much more bricked keys i will see... I dunno
keys on ally became a pain
i see only 2-3 17's in lfg and most of the time those i do are bricked by shit DPS
fwiw
the 15-20 range is a cesspit on horde too
bunch of people with big egos and not much of a clue who leave a lot after small mistakes
dude
as you push higher it gets better as the player pool shrinks and people start to remember you.
i've seen this so many times
at least i've got 2k rio after this one
though this is nowhere good
well
i'm moving over to horde soon enough. It won't fix problem of 15-20 range being a cesspool, but at least much more keys and groups in lfg
here on ally i can barely find 2-3
running 17's
I'm currently trying to get my alt warrior's io up
I promise you EU isn't any better.
This is from the first bunch of trash in a sots 16 I ran earlier.
well
What is kick.
same 
but amount of people... It definitely helps
seriously. Raiding outside of top guilds is dying here, amount of groups in lfg shrank a lot compared to Legion and it is a really unpleasant experience tbh
Yeah, I quit during ToS and when I came back I would say about 90% of my friendlist had moved to Horde
Btw, see on related to the 15-20 cesspit range
is it normal to just explode if people don't kick during SotS
yes
Water Blast (esp when raging) just crushes me

yea i just fuck off if i dont see kicks
spell damage is totally avoidable in SotS
BUT FUCKING PUGS
yea i just fuck off if i dont see kicks [2]
as in LoS


anyone know if details tracks soothe usage
yeah, under "dispells" i believe
Modulaor Platinum Plating a good trinket for M+? im using the Pocket- Sized Computation Device now with the haste cards. Dont think its an upgrade
very very very bad
haha ok thats what i thought
what essences do you run, i read the pins just wondering what you guys run 😛
VoP major
CnS, Lucid and Formless/Sphere/Null minors
VoP major
CnS+Lucid+Warden/Void for me
why no aegis?
no additional slots
CnS is just straight up better in most situations
CnS and Lucid are really-really good
and i like the extra rage from Lucid
and better then most other essences
ah ok
and i also need the +10 resistance this week
Lucid is just feelsgoodman
farming cns on my rogue need to wait 5 weeks :S only have rank 1 on warrior
:/
found Sphere being good on necrotic tho
sphere owns
read it now seems pretty good
me and my feelycraft rank minors:
CnS>Lucid>Sphere>aegis>void>warden
sitting in awkward spot on warrior lol 8 corruption.... td3 and 1 expedient
38 corruption TD3 Exp2
for now
started getting raid resistance ups only today


definitely
gz
Best corruption for prot in m+? TD and then just stack versatile?
Alright thanks!
Sorry. Whoever gave me advice yesterday on posting this. Thank you... Can someone please tank a +13 KR? Realm- Icecrown, Server-US, Username: Sashafierce
So many tanks i had right now have no idea what they are doing.

where is the HM boss flying in junkyard this week on EU?
I thought it was random ??
It's on a weekly rotation
He starts on gunker this week
But when you start the key you can just open map and see him flying around
Or even before actually, in m0
Ahh right thanks, didn’t know that, generally just thought it was random Thanks
you can see where he starts by zoning into mecha
just check before you start the key, it's the same spot
EU starts at the slime also
big
Someone say leech?
is somebody playing full versa corruption in highleys over td?
