#

What about lucid major, when is it used?

still pagoda
limpid pawn
#

With avatar on pull?

sick sentinel
#

I usually use before avatar

still pagoda
#

and yes, i really want to try lucid

ionic fern
#

Why before tho? Avatar gives you 20 rage - that's one of your biggest rage generators next to BV.

limpid pawn
#

Right

sick sentinel
#

Like at the same time ish, just so I have it for pull

#

Guess I could use after

limpid pawn
#

So, lucid major helps avatar come back real quick?

warm plinth
#

If it's on GCD you have to pick, which I assume it is.

#

Yes, that's the idea

ionic fern
#

It is on GCD yes.

sick sentinel
#

It is

limpid pawn
#

Because of the extra ignore pain span I can do?

warm plinth
#

Yep

limpid pawn
#

That on top of the leech is the main reason it’s used?

warm plinth
#

Lots of rage generation from spamming TC/SS = lots of rage to spend = lots of cooldown reduction from Anger Management

sick sentinel
#

The leech is nice but the main benefit is back to back avatar

limpid pawn
#

K

warm plinth
#

The leech is just a bonus. The main benefit is huge uptime on Avatar (and thus Bastion of Might)

ionic fern
#

You can Lucid->Charge+Avatar pretty safely without losing too much.

still pagoda
#

^

#

it's just one GCD

#

pop it before pull and charge in

sick sentinel
#

That is what I do

still pagoda
#

full rage bar guaranteed

limpid pawn
#

On 20s is it even worth going lucid

warm plinth
#

But it does allow your healer to be more free to DPS because you're basically not taking damage

#

And the amount you are taking is healed by your big boi claps

sick sentinel
#

Imo not worth it for 20s

limpid pawn
#

I’ve always just VOP a major

sick sentinel
#

But there isn’t really a downside

#

To using it

ionic fern
#

I've defaulted into using Lucid in almost every key i do now.

#

🤷

sick sentinel
#

Unless you are wasting rage

limpid pawn
#

There is a downside, which is loss of damage

ionic fern
#

I enjoy the control it provides.

sick sentinel
#

Not really a loss of damage

limpid pawn
#

Vop can give higher dps than lucid major no?

still pagoda
#

I've defaulted into using Lucid in almost every key i do now.

#

👀

sick sentinel
#

Can, doesn’t usually

still pagoda
#

been using VoP till rn

#

gonna run with lucid and see how it goes

limpid pawn
#

Then wtf why do people keep saying VOP major until 23 keys

#

SMH

still pagoda
#

teeming is just an ideal weak for such experiments

sick sentinel
#

Because it requires far less skill to play properly

#

And the general population doesn’t need another button to press

still pagoda
#

i like stacking CD's

limpid pawn
#

But like If you’re 3K+ you still aren’t necessarily doing 23

still pagoda
limpid pawn
#

But you are definitely skilled enough to use an extra button lmao

sick sentinel
#

Correct

ionic fern
#

Okay, try to understand something.
VoP is a fully passive option that does decently well into semi-high keys.
THe downside is that it's RNG and you can't control when it procs.
The higher you get in keys the less RNG you want involved due to the punishment of mistakes.

limpid pawn
#

I’m def trying lucid next run

ionic fern
#

There is literally NO ONE stopping you from playing Lucid even in a +5.

limpid pawn
#

And vop minor

still pagoda
limpid pawn
#

Nah all of prot discord stopped me from doing it, they literally took my hand and clicked it away

hoary thicket
#

Im trying to make a choice between two corruptions. ATM Im 450ilvl, and I have a 460 gloves with Void Ritual 3 on, and a 445 boots with Stars 2 on. Im not sure which one to cleanse. I dont raid only do M+

still pagoda
#

character armory still not updated

sick sentinel
#

The consensus here and why we all say VoP is because most people struggling through lower keys will not have an easier time if they use lucid

ionic fern
#

🤷
You will be successful in running VoP in +20's and Lucid as well.

#

Hell, you can even run AuG if you want to.

limpid pawn
#

Aug?

modern brook
#

augs a bad gun tho

ionic fern
#

99% of your survivability comes from your own decent play.

modern brook
#

just get m4 its cheaper and more effective

ionic fern
#

@hoary thicket Void Ritual. 🙂

limpid pawn
#

What is aug

sick sentinel
#

Undying gift

hoary thicket
#

So I keep my VR3 then Mwahi?

ionic fern
#

Stars is a PURELY single target corruption so it finds almost no use in m+.

limpid pawn
#

Oh, I do run that but for raids for prog

warm plinth
#

When has aug ever been a bad gun

strong forum
sick sentinel
#

You run

#

Aug

limpid pawn
#

It is absolute tits for prog

modern brook
#

u didnt even beat ur dps SMH

still pagoda
#

so... Since my old transmog doesn't really work, i decided to change things up a bit

strong forum
#

ye speg

limpid pawn
#

Queens court, drest, ilginoth, vex

sick sentinel
#

No fights in this raid especially require aug

limpid pawn
#

Huge magic damage fights where you’d get clapped for using crucible major

hoary thicket
#

ewww cloaks

sick sentinel
#

Tbh if I want to hunker down I just run VoP

limpid pawn
#

If your entire raid is progging it makes it easier

still pagoda
#

deswind Yes capes

ionic fern
#

Long story short:
VoP/Lucid are both solid.
VoP is mostly suggested due to its passive nature (especially since we don't know the skill level/familiarity with the class of the person asking) and it still does decently well without having to pay attention to it up to fairly high keys.

still pagoda
#

^

#

like +17's

sick sentinel
#

I mean I prog just like anyone else and have never been the reason my guild can’t progress

still pagoda
#

and other stuff like them

ionic fern
#

You can +20's or even higher with VoP as well.

sick sentinel

or wipefest it!

sick sentinel
#

dont put tail in raid, don't put breath in raid, make sure no dps in front for cleave, hold aggro, taunt off when needed

#

basics i guess?

#

You forgot one crucial detail

#

Always pump

#

Chase dps

#

big papa pump?

#

Yes

#

From a tank dps perspective nyalotha has some fun fights

#

From a tank mechanic perspective every single fight is snooze

tame garden
#

im enjoying psychus phase on nzoth

#

all other bosses have been giga snooze tho

sick sentinel
#

I had some mind blowing deeps coming out of psychus on nzoth

tame garden
#

ye when td procs at the end

#

im top dps in the raid

sick sentinel
#

Hnnnnnng

tame garden
#

i had a 2.7m td crit last raid

sick sentinel
#

Yeah I think my best is coming out at like 211k dps

tame garden
sick sentinel
#

With SR of anguish you can absolutely destroy nzoth too

#

Never leave melee

#

Always pump

jovial vortex
#

Hi guys, i'm coming back to tanking after a long pause and i was wondering what was the best equip set i can use for M+, i got a haste + versa one and then the one i use for dps full crit and haste with multiple expedient on it. I know that haste-versa should be the best but at the same time crit and haste are a good combo for both offensive and defensive situations. What would you use between the two? Both sets are around the same ilv of 475

ripe shale
#

haste/crit is what you want to aim for most of the time

#

at same ilvl

jovial vortex
#

Alright, i just needed someone to confirm it since i didn't really saw it stated clearly, thanks

ripe shale
#

The hotfix will make it so the flat cooldown reduction provided by Fist of Justice (and similar abilities) will not be unintentionally increased by effects that increase your cooldown rate (such as Ineffable Truth).

#

Does that mean that AM will not work with IT anymore ?

inland silo
#

thats what we assume

mortal brook
#

thatll include sotr-judge interaction?

#

rip

#

wait wrong prot

graceful flume
#

why AM should be affected by this change?

mortal brook
#

likely because anger management reduced cds of abilities, and ineff was double dipping to both reduce the cd and also give a boost to anger management's cd reduction too

still pagoda
#

pugs just depleted my +17UR

#

taking cleaves, dying in puddles on last boss

#

and other shit

#

it was a really close run tho

#

and healer DCed right at the pull of last boss

sick sentinel
#

What trinket should I use, I have the vial from underrot 460, the eyes of rezan 465 and the humming black dragonscale 460. Should I go full haste or Vial and Eyes?

mild ore
#

so IT will become obsolete?

#

that would be sick considering i got rid of it like two days ago lol

still pagoda
#

rezan+scale @sick sentinel

#

though you can use vial instead of one of those

#

it's pretty nice

sick sentinel
#

though you can use vial instead of one of those
@still pagoda Cool thanks, i'll be using rezan and scale! 😄

still pagoda
#

honestly

#

lucid feels pretty good

#

even though i wasted some rage, it just gives so much control over pulls

#

i think it will stick tight with no wasted rage after a bit of practice

languid raven
#

Only recently started playing prot warrior for the first time and succeeding somewaht so far. My biggest problem is magic damage, what is the best ways to handle that for us?

#

kr+15 it felt like everything just cut through me whenever they were allowed any sort of cast

sick sentinel
#

Most casts should be interrupted

sweet summit
#

spell reflect, stuns, kicks, demo shout, wall, LoS, externals, heathpots, healthstones

languid raven
#

thank you

#

i assume getting defensive trinkets would help too

#

😦

sweet summit
#

they can help

daring marlin
#

There is psychic shell and that's about it

#

lol

limpid pawn
#

Quintex the main problem is your group isn’t kicking the spells

warm plinth
#

Yeah it's not a you problem

#

It's a group problem

limpid pawn
#

As a war you can kick 4 times on most mobs - pummel, shockwave, storm bolt (you fucked up if you’re not talented into this) and fear

#

Probably 5 since your pummel will return after all that

daring marlin
#

^ignore this

limpid pawn
#

On top of all that, you have 3 dps who should also have a ton of kicks interrupts

daring marlin
#

Organizing your group's kicks is what needs to happen

limpid pawn
#

Chances are, they aren’t using their abilities nearly as much as they can

main vault
#

Alot of those arent kicks, and dont act like kicks

limpid pawn
#

He’s lugging

#

Pugging

#

Probably without discord

daring marlin
#

Setting up a discord is pretty standard

limpid pawn
#

I’m just saying, In a non perfect world you can kick like 5 spells just by yourself

chilly brook
#

In a pug?

#

I've never been asked to get in a discord for a pug key

limpid pawn
#

It’s not standard in any pug I’ve done, and especially not in a 15

inland silo
#

no ones joining a discord to do a 15

warm plinth
#

Yeah what pug is going to join discord

#

That's not standard at all

limpid pawn

Like that's hugely condescending considering the vast majority of players find 15s difficult

limpid pawn
#

Exactly

#

A new player asking tips about why he’s getting trucked by spells in KR 15

#

And you act like it’s the same as a player who pugs 20s

You know that it’s not the same.

You immediately respond with “imagine” sentences and then try to act like you weren’t completely wrong about what you are saying about discord in pugs just to save face

Worth holding back avatar I gues?

sick sentinel
#

And tell your hunters to use MD in them and hope they come to you

warm plinth
#

Hawgz you should DPS a key I tank so you can see how bad I am in reality

sick sentinel
#

You’ll see how bad at dps I am too

tame garden
#

tell your ranged to stop padding on psychophages

sick sentinel
#

That would be fun

warm plinth
#

Speg has already seen how bad my DPS is, so

wild violet
#

@chilly brook thanks matey

tame garden
#

ranged should not even dot them

chilly brook
#

Can I heal so you can see how bad I am at that?

tame garden
#

waste of globals and makes it harder to gather them

warm plinth
#

Are we all NA horde, btw?

chilly brook
#

Yee

warm plinth
#

Hawgz you're NA horde right

sick sentinel
#

Of course

#

But not @mortal brook

warm plinth
#

We should make this shit happen this weekend

sick sentinel
#

Blue team sux

mortal brook
#

no lie

warm plinth
#

Everyone plays on their scuffed character

sick sentinel
#

As long as I get to heal

mortal brook
#

im here to chillax tho

warm plinth
#

I thought you were DPSing

chilly brook
#

Wait I was healing

warm plinth
#

Griff said he's healing

sick sentinel
#

Ok I can dps even better

#

Can I play my havoc dh with 390 weapons

chilly brook
#

MW or holy pally? yep

warm plinth
#

So I'm the shit tank, Hawgz is the shit DPS, and Griff is the shit healer. We just need 2 more shit DPS to make our dream a reality

#

Are you equally shit at both?

sick sentinel
#

I request a sub rogue pls

chilly brook
#

I'd probably be worse on pally

warm plinth
#

Play pally then

sick sentinel
#

Is glimmer still good

#

Kek

tame garden
#

yo

#

wheres my invite

warm plinth
#

Speg you got a shit dps alt?

chilly brook
#

Yes glimmer is still busted

warm plinth
#

Or are you shit at your druid's DPS spec

chilly brook
#

So busted they made it a talent in SL

tame garden
#

i could play scuffed boomy

warm plinth
#

You're in

tame garden
#

sick sentinel
#

I don’t know boomy

#

They are known as boss bangers

tame garden
#

i can promise you

warm plinth
#

Your treants may be my only hope for survival

tame garden
#

there will be no banging on my end

sick sentinel
#

So we have 4 baddies

warm plinth
#

We just need 1 more scuffed DPS alt/alt spec for our run

#

Probably can't do it til tomorrow though. Got shit to do after work tonight

tame garden
#

actually i can take the scuff up another level

#

@tame garden
@chilly brook
When are you guys available tomorrow? (Pinged myself so I can find this post easier)

sick sentinel
#

I’m off work at 5 pst (implying I actually work on Friday)

tame garden
#

uh i think i have a dinner for my sisters birthday to go to so later is better for me

sick sentinel
#

Big fan of scuffed keys

warm plinth
#

I'm usually on late anyway so

sick sentinel
#

Ghash what are you tanking on your war

warm plinth
#

on til late*

#

What do you mean, like what dungeon?

sick sentinel
#

Poor way of asking what character

warm plinth
#

Oh, yeah my warrior

tame garden
#

no vengeance ghash?

warm plinth
#

So you guys can see that I know way more than I can actually put into practice

sick sentinel
#

You should see me tank vengeance lmao

#

It is absolutely wild

chilly brook
#

I'll be on after like 1pm PST @warm plinth

warm plinth
#

Honestly I'd do vengeance but my DH is actually geared and has good corruption for it so it probably wouldn't be as bad as prot war

sick sentinel
#

I might have to play arms

warm plinth
#

@tame garden What time you thinking you'll be home after the dinner?

tame garden
#

honestly ill prob be on by the time hawgz is ready

#

maybe 6 pst to be safe

warm plinth
#

I'm good with that

#

How high of a key do we want to try to do 🤔

#

I think my war only has like a 14

sick sentinel
#

What’s the highest key we have lmao

#

Wel my warrior is my main so he doesn’t count

#

But dh has a 15 I think

warm plinth
#

My war is only like 462 with a 445 shield btw, so let's keep that in mind 😄

sharp night
#

you need a scuffed alt for 5th you know i got everything lol

sick sentinel
#

Do you play sub rogue

sharp night
#

i can

#

reforge my assa gear to sub

sick sentinel
#

Excellent welcome aboard

tame garden

my monk has 17 underrot

warm plinth
#

Alright so we are all set then. Everyone good with 6PM PST?

#

tomorrow

sick sentinel
#

Yes I will be on at 6PM pst

warm plinth
#

We can try the UR if you guys want but a 17 fortified with a 445 shield sounds horrifying

#

Otherwise we can do Hawgz's DH's 15

sharp night
#

i gotta go look up what sub traits are even decent this tier

#

i haven't played sub since the nerf in uldir lol

warm plinth
#

lol

#

vince is my normal M+ tank so he can attest to my uh...not great tanking skills from our alt keys 😂

sharp night
#

it's fine until you go big when your shield sucks 😄

#

and then go splat

warm plinth
#

Yes, I need a shield to back up my ambition

#

😂

sick sentinel
#

Your shield is as big as your ego

#

Keep ego big

#

Take less damage

warm plinth
#

That's how I feel too

sick sentinel
#

Known fact

warm plinth
#

Hence why I tried like a 10 mob pull in JY

#

And it did not go well

sick sentinel
#

JY can get hairy fast

warm plinth
#

It was the pull to the right as you're coming up to HK-8. Both packs with the troopers/renormalizers and a coilbearer

sick sentinel
#

Trixie and naeno room I always try way harder than I should lmao

sharp night
#

lol

warm plinth
#

Yeah I tried double pulling the mechanic pack and dogs in that room too. Also did not go well 😂

I operate on the assumption he will say yes

Just think Karton

The chance he will beat me is large

spent 25k on vers3 still have another 18k for td where is it

sick sentinel
#

I am a terrible dh

tame garden
#

now i feel like my monk is too geared for this

#

should i come on my priest and do 20k overall

sick sentinel
#

Ghash you have to pull big so I can pad with meme beam

warm plinth
#

Well yeah

sick sentinel
#

Or else my overall will be terrible

still pagoda

and also

#

after running 3 keys with lucid

#

i kinda fell in love with it

sick sentinel
#

Good for you pal happy for u

still pagoda
#

controllable DPS and survivability boost is just really good

sick sentinel
#

By survival boost you mean becoming invincible for 15 seconds and moderately invincible for 40

still pagoda
#

well

#

yes

#

i was literally able to pull all trash before priestess in +19AD

sick sentinel
#

Should pull all that anyway with vision :^)

still pagoda
#

ye

#

but honestly

sick sentinel
#

That is not the scary trash in that dungeon

still pagoda
#

lucid seems more fun

#

while giving kinda the same effectiveness

warm plinth
#

Honor Guards are the scary trash in AD 😬

still pagoda
#

yes

tame garden
#

honorguard pulls

#

😨

still pagoda
#

i did only two honor guards tho

sick sentinel
#

I pull precisely two honor guards

tame garden
#

i need to learn how to skip the 2nd one tbh

#

so that i only do 1

still pagoda
#

made this slacky huntard pull away packs to take obelisk

#

he was standing for 15 seconds doing nothing

#

while everyone in the group wanted him to do exactly this

sick sentinel
#

But the most dangerous trash of all

still pagoda
#

same with dinomancer pack

sick sentinel
#

Is me when I am trying to jump in the snap points

still pagoda
#

huntards gonna be huntards forever

red fern

Any suggestions on what to play as an alt tank? Ofc my main is Prot warr.

sick sentinel
#

Vdh

#

Brain off and heal infinitely

warm plinth

We only pull 1 honor guard

red fern
#

Haha ok

warm plinth

Hunter pulls away the other 2

What about guardian

still pagoda

5 hours since server transfer. Still no armory update

Guardian is good

sick sentinel
#

Shadowlands my guild is double bear tank

#

It’s our moment

mild ore

so IT is gonna be poop?

sick sentinel
#

Not total poop

sharp night
#

well

sick sentinel

But moderate poop

#

Semi poop

mild ore
#

so big poop

sick sentinel
#

Like warm poop

sharp night
#

apparently just spamming shuriken storm and secret technique/evis on the 4 target dummies

#

i can sustain around 45k 👀

#

so i'm ready to do some bad dps

sick sentinel
#

Well it’s official Vince is gonna beat my ass

warm plinth
#

lmao

sick sentinel
#

I really wish I had an arcane mage for this

tame garden
#

id play feral if my reforge costs werent so high atm

sick sentinel
#

Feral is too good

tame garden
#

not my feral

sick sentinel
#

Excellent

#

How bad are you at ww

#

Are you one of those guys that says they are bad but will still beat my ass

#

Cause when I say I’m bad at dh i mean it

warm plinth
#

How can you even be bad at havoc DH

sick sentinel
#

Don’t ask ghash

tame garden
#

idk i made the monk a month ago to play mw and only play ww for world content

#

so im ok geared but have no idea how to play the spec

sick sentinel
#

The 390 weapons really hold you back believe it or not

tame garden
#

so i will prob win just off my ilvl

warm plinth
#

Here, I'll teach you to play DH. Press Eye Beam on cooldown, press Blade Dance/Death Sweep on cooldown, press Chaos Strike/Annihilation in between, or Demon's Bite if you don't have enough Fury for that.

#

That's it, that's all you need to know

sick sentinel
#

Ok

#

Good to know

#

🤣

tame garden
#

ok but is that for single target or aoe :kappa:

warm plinth
#

Imagine havoc having a different rotation for different situations

sick sentinel
#

Let’s let all casts go through as well

warm plinth
#

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

tame garden
#

can pally dispel disease

warm plinth
#

Yes

tame garden
#

then were good

#

kicks are overrated

warm plinth
#

God help me

sick sentinel

Don’t need kicks if you fuckin blast it before it casts

late panther

was a good run

#

99% sure this is gna be dogshit from now on

sharp night

rip

sweet summit
#

might still have some uses since it works with reflect, but yeah :(

late panther
#

very rare cases and theres no dungeon where reflect is that crazy that u'd wish u had 1 more during a fight

why do they always nerf the fun stuff

#

i dont get it

Bad game

Bad devs

You meme but I did party sync bgs a while back and absolutely smoked some kids running ravager lmao

sweet summit
sick sentinel
#

question about shrine RQ, is water ele+2 group before first boss just too much for some groups? or is the bridge pack just that much easier?

#

Don’t pull the water ele

sweet summit
#

water ele is fine if you LoS the rising thing cast

#

if you cant its a nightmare

sick sentinel
#

There’s no need to pull it tbh

#

I don’t ever

warm plinth
#

Yeah water ele is actually fine but you have to play it correctly. In a PUG I definitely wouldn't risk it

still pagoda
#

RIP IT

sick sentinel
#

I guess best course of action is to LOS bridge to pillar

#

Bridge pack is free

warm plinth
#

Yeah bridge pack is easy

#

Where are you taking 1st pillar to though?

#

Or are you not meaning the obelisk

sick sentinel
#

group i was in almost had me skip bridg pat group, and i said "positive?"

#

I wouldn’t skip a bridge pack

#

That is free %

#

Ele can be free too

#

But less likely

#

And heckin hp

sweet summit
#

just solo it with reflect :)

sick sentinel
#

i also learned today that void bolt is very painful

#

+13, got hit for 325k+

sweet summit
#

void bolt?

sick sentinel
#

3rd

sweet summit
#

oh boss

#

yeah

sick sentinel
#

Reflect brother free boss damage

trail dome
#

literally free

#

the way that boss works is

#

"I REFLECT FIRST"

#

dh kicks anyway

#

gotta get that dps gain

#

"okay well rogue and hunter both have kick up, i'll let one of them kick 2nd."

#

take half your hp in magic dmg

#

🤔

sick sentinel
#

I just hold reflect until the last possible second

#

That way I don’t get baited

trail dome
#

me too

#

i swear dps know when i'm going to reflect

#

also did our alt hc run tonight

#

finally a DC haver

#

and 3rd BoM

amber siren
#

poggies

trail dome
#

actually pretty big I think considering I was sitting at 472 eq

#

although

#

i now have ~20 nzoth kills across all my toons

#

all toons other than my warr still using engi head

#

🤔

#

that boss is cursed for me

#

we even stacked 7 platewearers for me tonight in the alt run

forest escarp
#

is there a haste % i must aim for to have shield block almost all the time ? and when does it start to be a waist ?

sweet summit
#

no and never

high nacelle
#

how does ineffable truth work? if it procs do i need to use for example last stand for it to reduce its cd or?

sweet summit
#

it doesnt work anymore pepsihands

warm plinth
#

If the ability isn't on cooldown, IT does nothing for it.

sick sentinel
#

Blizzard shot us with the nerf gun

high nacelle
#

is it on all cds or ?

warm plinth
#

Yes

sweet summit
#

all warrior abilities

high nacelle
#

what u mean it doesnt work xD

sharp night
#

all class cds, no trinkets/essences/etc

warm plinth
#

Well

high nacelle
#

so i shouldnt use it as a filler?

warm plinth
#

The reason we liked it is because of its interaction with Anger Management

#

Which is being nerfed

#

So you're better off running Expedient or something of that nature as a filler rather than IT

trail dome
#

wait what

#

Got a source?

#

That's also huge for my prot paladin

trail dome
#

Cause it has the same sort of interaction with judgment & judgment reducing sotr

#

nooooo

tame garden
#

if this pally shit gets fire mage nerfed its gonna be wild

#

big malding inc

warm plinth
#

Okay but like

#

You know what my favorite part of this is?

sick sentinel
#

I like that they wait until people spend all their echoes on it lmao

warm plinth
#

Blizzard chose the interaction that literally no one gives a fuck about as an example for why this is being nerfed 😂

sharp night
#

well given that they mentioned it

#

probably from that arena tournament

trail dome
#

i have 310% IT on my paladin

#

this feels really bad

#

Guess i'm a warrior main now.

warm plinth
#

Yeah I imagine it matters in PvP but like, in general there are way more important interactions being affected

sharp night
#

just stack masterful and do 150k dps on maut instead

warm plinth
#

And they didn't mention any others specifically

sharp night
#

until they figure out how to nerf that

#

how tanky is a pally with 100% mastery anyway

#

that sounds pretty wild

#

100% block uptime and some amount of reduced dmg in cons

warm plinth
#

Yeah, and blocking spells o_o

trail dome
#

@sharp night i've been messing with that build the last few days

#

need masterful to come out but I think it's really good

#

if you play righteous protector it makes ineffable truth procs (rip) fucking WILD

#

IT reduces the CD of Judgement which reduces the CD of SotR which reduces the CD of LotP & Wings

#

and you can get absolutely enormous uptime on wings (>80%) which gives you crazy mastery & self healing. 🤷‍♂️

#

I was actually gonna try and really push io with it

#

because I think it's good

#

but if they're nerfing the IT thing that's a pretty huge nerf considering that that build triple dips

#

Man fuck. I'm sad about that.

#

I spent echoes on IT on my warrior too

People buy from Gallywix all the time and they're 295k for loot only or 340k for objectives (5 mask)

main vault
#

gally is more in US

warm plinth
#

Yeah

#

That's on NA, not EU. I'm sure it's cheaper on that side of the pond

main vault
#

gally just has trust, which costs money

warm plinth
#

Yeah that's how I've always looked at it. But I'm a bit biased :p

high nacelle
#

is nzoth ring worth equipping over bitband 455?

#

470 nzoth ring

main vault
#

shouldnt even have to ask

sick sentinel
#

Probably if it’s not the combo

#

Def if not combo actually

warm plinth
#

Yeah if you have the haste set, it's probably about even

#

But if it's just the bit band on its own, easily replaced by the N'zoth ring

high nacelle
#

its 445 haste vs 233

It's also 15 ilevels of stats

fk that

#

Lol

still pagoda
#

There is no need in lucid up until higher keys

#

I just run it cause it's just much more fun than VoP

#

And because it adds additional element of planning

main vault
#

Yeah even if not "needed" it can be better in any situation if you can use it

still pagoda
#

In my opinion, the choice between VoP and Lucid comes down to what you want

#

Simplicity and just cookie cutter type gameplay or maximum benefit on planned big pulls and more control over the flow of the spec

#

IT might be safe for now

I think vop just feels bad to play once you get used to lucid or CnS. I agree spamming IP can be a lot of apm in big pulls tho, but that’s what makes it exciting. I’ve never been able to fully get avatar off cd right when it ends tho, usually need one more rage dump or so after. Even in high keys

If you let the one with the defilers get off a raise dead cast

#

If there are no skeletons, it doesn't do anything. He just casts it regardless

#

It basically enrages the skeleton it's cast on and makes their melees apply a shadow DoT

cosmic coral
#

well, what does it do exactly if u can say, ill just wowhead it if you dont remember

#

stacking dot? can it be reflected?

warm plinth
#

You can reflect one application

#

But the next melee reapplies it

cosmic coral
