My biggest TD crit was like 900k on vdh
It all depends on how much TD you're running
td2
or what boss youre hitting
Well I excluded psychus
During nzoth prog a melee dps stood in front of me when he went insane and got absolutely smoked by TD the second he was MCd
td2 expediant2/3 ift30corrupt
And excluded the 30 tank Nya run
is that a real thing
4 td prot warrior during last stand i crit for 700k each. it is bananas
like does it actually work
did they do 7/12M?
Just get a 30 tank run going
srsly
damn wtf i was in a grp like that and left cuz i didnt believe
Lmao

All you need is 30 tanks with sotw, and td5+
only have td3 but i think they still let u i n
And the raid kills itself
Literally just roll around on the floor and get loot
Whilst doing 100k dps
Literally doesn't get easier than that, besides 29 mages, but for that you actually need geared people
All kills were disgusting
ahaah yeah
Every boss died within 40seconds
And then there's people actually progressing heroic with serious strategies unable to get curve...
Hey you leave them alone they are trying their best
i've seen 600k TD crits on my prot warr
don't leap to box before dog starts his venting, he sits in the box and evades, and you wipe
Every boss died within 40seconds
@strong forum
That's literally HFC all over again
I just drag him to the box for maximum pump uptime
and the fire sticks on botanist really sucks too
Have you tried our lord and savior snipping tool?
Must be nice
I got 475 boots with siphoner 1 on my DH
But at least there was a socket
🤤
still lacking 1k residium for second gamble
gonna just stockpile for Mecha chest insted
tfw got 2 rings without haste and with useless corruptions
👏
2 expulsoms, i like it
now to the monk 
Have you considered buying more wow tokens you will get better gear
so far 2/howevermanyweeksitsbeen good loot
👋
welcome!
This guy is an alpha I can already tell
Was wondering if anyone had any tips on what dungeons I should farm to get good prot gear
Mostly a shield for now
Atal
Ah okay
slow again
Smoked rosjen
WTFFFFFFF

Hnnnnnnnng you love to see all that leech
time to learn monk
pawn is saying leech is a 33% upgrade 
i love to see 30+ilvl weapon upgrades
Press keg smash
If its on your highest ilvl, sure
no we are just memeing
How good does it scale
haste good, mastery OK
leech irrelevant in most cases
^
@still pagoda the game gave you siphoner 3 as punishment for not cropping the image
TRUUUUE
Download screen capture software OR ELSE leech forever
Petition to reduce leech to 1% = 1 corruption. And I'll use it
Best filler in the game, don't @me
i will not
I wish they'd just remove pawn from the addons section in twitch
i needed a better weapon on my monk anyway
I wish they'd just remove pawn from the addons section in twitch
@chilly brook THIS
Also @strong forum that's about the only way its worthwhile corruption budget wise
Some of the corruptions I scratch my head at in regards to their cost
Yup
Like avoidant
That's what I'm saying
Griff guess who got a weapon on his dh 😎
not you
Now I only have to run one strength weapon
I got a weapon on my DH last night
Am trying to make the move between dps to tank
nice 
Lucky you @sick sentinel we are both
My guildie rolled a TD ring on normal nzoth and didn’t even ask if I want it and gave it to pug
I got a weapon for tanking in my chest last week
Can I have an F in the chat
D
F
a i missed
but I'm just needing better stuff
F
Now you'll only be 2/3 handicapped instead of 3/4ths Hawgz
like upgrade on my chest and helmet and a shield >:(I
Yes yes
Our weekly no leaver may not include my dh tho
He is less scuffed now
My shaman is hella scuffed
that is the content we want tho, the road from very scuffed to slightly less scuffed
ideally we dont deplete this time
evolving
Are we talking about our next giga-scuffed Skyhold alt key 🙂

Yes
@warm plinth can you disable the sound effect when you stand in an eye of corruption 🙏
It will either be a not totally scuffed vdh or a very scuffed bear this week
Pick your poison
Bear
baer
Excellent
aw :(
Ya'all NA right
Yee
I think it's GTFO doing that, which is not particularly customizable
(didn't know that was a thing until a couple weeks ago)
I use GTFO for literally one reason at this point
I just used... Eyes
I think gtfo is like overkill
For slime lieutenant pools in some places
I just turn my monitor on tbh
Na i can see it being beneficial
I'm colorblind so I can't see the pools in a lot of places
you can use a WA for that pinky
I prefer to not know when I’m standing in something
Huh..
That way when I drop dead it’s a surprise to everyone including me
The only downside about turning my monitor on is that I get a monitor tan
Cuz I'm a nerd
Does haste still present defensive value if I'm already able to get ~100% shield block uptime while tanking and keep ignore pain up?

hawgzbear this week [2]
@quaint yoke for raids?
for m+
how do you have 166% haste
Send it
y e s

How would you know you’re standing in the eye if you don’t have it?
Testing it
well. Gonna get my BrM into a better shape while i'm still in a search for raid spot a a tank
To the target dummies!
Statistically, the eye doesn’t proc if you need it to
This is proving to be true so far
You can actually use this hidden mechanics to cheese prog raids
I fixed it @sweet summit!
This actually gives me a great idea
Because now I can get rid of the sound when I'm standing in that stupid slime in Underrot
Since it does like 5 damage
But it’s still avoidable damage
Yeah but it's not something you need to move out of
Like I'm not gonna move out of it if it fucks up my positioning when it does insignificant amounts of damage
But I do right now because not only does GTFO make a sound, it makes a sound like it's a really bad thing to stand in

#vdh
The only crappy thing about playing vengeance is you always take raden decaying strike at full hp in a meta proc
Wadu wat
Currently playing prot warrior as my new alt and i've got 6k echos atm, is it worth me buying a couple of exped 1s just to have alongside my TD2 until my corruption res goes up or just worth completely waiting until exped3 comes out? i'm only level 12 cape atm so got a long way to catch up in corruption resist
I would save for TD1 or TD3 when they become available. You should get exped 3 if you want to play arms as well though
i have td2 + td3 but the TD3 is on 445 boots so i'm not using it atm
i bought a 460 boe with td2 on it so just been using that instead for now
TD3 on 445 boots>some other boots without TD
well i have an exped 1 on a 475 ring that i got from cache last week so if i use td3 on top of it atm with 12 cape i go over 40
so once i've upgraded my cape past 12 i'll use the td3 but not much point me cleansing a free expedient right now surely?
makes sense, i'll just save then, once i've done my dailys my cape will be 15 anyway and the alt is already 472 so i should easily be able to just solo 5/4/3 masks on him as prot
just lack of vessels being able to upgrade my cloak and i didnt want to spend all of my echos because TD3 is super expensive
could buy vessels with echoes if you're far behind 🤷♀️
yeah but since this is my 3rd alt i really don't get too much time to just spam dungeons on it for echos so i think its best i just upgrade cloak with the daily vessel stuff than to spend echos on them
since td3 is going to be in the next 1.5 weeks i guess
CnS, Lucid, sphere, null barrier in some dungeons, sotw if you need corruption resistance
If running VoP major
Mythic plus is : lucid major, vop, warden, conflict and strife minor
If lucid major swap Lucid minor with VoP
I fricken got it
its a +0 mythic
but I got the shield from Atal
Good work lad
based pally tank in my group gave it to me
since they had the 470 shield from PVP
Definitely better than having nothing or a low ilvl shield
double shield when 
Oh we in classic now?
Wonder if you can use Last Stand with no shield on
No
Sad
I mean you can
you get the HP?
You won't block
but no blocking
Yep
damn
Yeah I ranked a +21 last night as fury with 2 one handers
Better threat generation for sure
Should I delay using my orc racial to line up with avatar cd?
Yes
Orc 
Also
doing 1 target 3 min with bl now
Haste has a lot of value outside of just dps as well
Id 100% use vita
Gives your party haste as well
400dps and no haste for party, no reduction to shield block etc
Hi!, Do yo recommend any page as Raidbots to manage mi character?
But Raidbots only sims Dps, not survival
Correct
There's no such thing as a tool that can sim survival. But wowanalyzer will help explain what you're doing wrong from a gameplay perspective, which can help with survival issues.
ok, thanks 😉
😉
Hey folks,
Looking to start getting into Warrior tanking - haven't done any tanking since WotLK - any tips (other than reading up on Icy Veins etc)? Should I just take the plunge into low mythics - what would you recommend?
Hawgz top 3 tanking tips:
- Get a good shield as quickly as possible
- Keep SB up as much as possible while tanking, fill gaps with last stand, dump rage into ignore pain
- Don’t die
That third point I failed
Yeah I had to take over bullet number 3 for you but that’s ok
oh, yeah, the guy talking earlier is partially right
i'm not all that hot at the game, only just reached 1500 io
Wut
not terribly important
thats pretty hot
Hnnng
405 weapon get fucked
Ilvl 468, 405 weapob
would going full expedient be better that td?
Not even close
nah
just had a +17ML run
timed
but i've seen healer dying to puddle on 3rd boss 
and BM hunter
heart of darkness or brace for impact?
HoD if you have 25+ corruption
i do
but technically you will have it anyway
lemme go uf
UF is more dmg
dmg is what you need to look at all the time
you need to do 2 DPS meters 6.2 Asmon style

we once had hunter applying to our guild, he had damage meter next to his character 
I was going to use a Sega Genesis controller but it had too many buttons and I got confused
If you have any video requests, feel free to comment them below :D
"Like" my official Facebook page!
was fun tho
i'm talking of this
oh i don't watch that dude xD
more like 5
wod ehh
I liked the video of how to big dick dps on mythic odyn
looking at both wowhead and icyveins, is searing flame worth the corruption or don't bother with it?
just seen fury warr dying from Peal aoe on first boss in ToS 
also
restored my pre-transfer rio
peal aoe?
cyclone strike?
oh lol
No junkyard 
Dps getting hit by shit doesn’t bother me cause if I had a dollar for every time I took avoidable damage in a dungeon I’d be a wealthy man. Just cause it doesn’t kill us doesnt mean we don’t do it too
Now if you miss interrupts I get toxic fast that’s a different story
I will miss every interrupt in our next key
You know, because I’ll be on a resto druid

Also I’d like to go on record that I didn’t realize I was volunteering to heal on bursting week

How bad is kr this week btw
Not that bad
I really hate the minions of zul
Send a belf in there to eliminate them
Well there is your first problem
Pretty good tbh
Holy pala
Spit gold would be fine if it was baitable somehow
But when you get it on the same person 3-4 times in a row
bring a prot warrior for safeguard 
It’s not okay
Maybe I’ll make my guild carry my bear through a 16 and get us a 15
“Will you pls carry my bear for my weekly sky hold scuffed alt run”
my monk has shrine 16
lol
Speg saving the fuckin day
I'm super excited to heal 16 stacks of bursting in the first room 
We are going to die.
Does vers reduce thing from beyond damage?
@warm plinth I think you're expecting too much from my shaman
Yes @flat jackal
@warm plinth ty
What do you mean by that @chilly brook lol
😂
390 weapons baby
Our dps is going to be more scuffed than last week
Scrub enhancement
Bosses are going to take 15 minutes

Is it worth going for rank 4 TD? I just got a piece of r1 TD which would bring me up to rank 4, but the problem is if I were to go for rank 4 I wouldn't have enough resistance to go for anything else and be under my preferred corruption level. Currently I am running rank 3 TD and rank 3 Expedient, so I would have to cleanse the rank 3 expedient to be able to run rank 4 TD
why not just hold onto the td1 until you can run all of it?
Personally I use a 4 TD build with 3 Expe for mythic runs but drop to 3 TD and 6 Expe in raids
I would do that but the piece is a big upgrade, so I am trying weigh losing the item level and saving the piece for rank 4 TD or cleansing it but gaining the upgrade
And rank 4 TD and 3 Expe is my goal for M+ but I am behind on the weekly resistance, so I don't have enough to have those and stay below 39 corruption, if that's possible

@wicked orchid
Always worth going for TD4-5
^
I cannot, it's on weapon, and I currently do not have a weapon better than or on par with it
or if you REALLY want exp, then just wait til your cape catches up
there's no other way around it, lol
I mean
I would wait and run the r3 td i prob
And wait for cloak upgrade
Or just u know run more than 39
Fuck it
Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but I just wanted to see other opinions
yeah i run 59
stormbolt, fear, cloak on use, spell reflect, shockwave
so many ways to get rid of it
Oh, good point, I've stayed away from TFB, so I didn't realize we had that much defense against it, I think I'll do a few M+/ raids with it and see how it goes, then go from there, thanks!
How much are you with the 4td and 3ex
51
idk if i wanna run 4td and mythic wrathion weapon, or 5td and a 470 weapon
You should test like 1 dungeon with the 51 to see how it feels
If u can consistently deal with the thing and the circle isnt too big seems good to me tbh
Yeah, I'll be sure to do that
what minor essence do yall run when you need the corruption resist essence
strength of the warden mostly
Same
Hey all, long time lurker here.
I'm currently a 476 Prot warrior in a Mythic progress guild. I main tank and do mythic plus often, and throughout the expansion, I've been stacking haste. As of late, I've seen a huge trend towards versatility and I'm very convinced by it. The question I have is, should I remove my haste gems and swap to versatility already, or is it better to keep haste until vers comes back into corruption vendor and I can get the 12% increase from sources? Second, is Leviathan's Eye of Strength ever viable in a socket? I feel like strength is affecting my gameplay a lot less than haste/vers. Thanks guys for the help; I've learned a lot from this sub, and I appreciate how much time you guys put into posts on here.
vers stacking is only a thing in the highest of keys, 120 and 80 str gems can be used, thats not a problem secondary stats however gain more value the deeper you are into an expac, so most people just default to haste gems, or vers for high keys
Gotcha, so for raid I'm much better off with haste. That was really my question
Appreciate it!
@onyx gale like Nom has stated, yes you are better off with haste in raid
unless youre constantly in 23+, focusing on vers will do you no better unless youre playing incorrectly
You're not in a position where you're going to get one shot in mythic nyalotha if you play properly
I also feel like I get so much more uptime per amoutn of haste I get on my active miti
Every bit of haste feels amazing
yes, thats part of the reason why we stack it
The biggest problem you might run into is lazy healers
a big part of it
If your healers are slacking on specific things like cleanses on vex that's the only use case where vers might be more valuable but even then you're probably dead anyways if they're slacking
Right
Even with double dissolve and my other tank being dead
I was fine
Which makes me think that vers wasn't that great but I keep seeing it show up so I felt like maybe I was missing something. Most keys I do hover between 16-20 so I doubt I need it
You likely wouldn't notice any difference with vers until you went to the umpteenth degree to stack it and even then it would require you to go out of your way to do so that also wouldn't give you much benefit
In the content you're currently doing that is
When looking at top keys done you have to ask questions about why they're using what they're using, because their use case is different than most people's because what's required of them to succeed at that level is completely different
For visions, out of prot vs arms, which has an easier time?
prot
prot if you have TD imo
you just steamroll this shit
i'm always oneshotting rexxar
i drums rexxar, cba the boars
I'll drums your rexxar
I ran my first 5 mask as havoc dh and I never realized how easy they have it
I thought prot was easy
Do u go to rexxar wing first or the other side
drum on rexxar
But dh is just brain off
I mean, if you think havoc has it easy, go do one on a BM hunter
Brb
I do Drag>Honor>Wisdom>Spirits
Void torrent/shield guy, Rexxar, orb/adds guy, silence orb guy
^
Hmm
You know the names of the bosses in the vision but not the zones of an old ass horde city
Imagine knowing the names of the bosses besides Rexxar
Impressive
I don’t think I know a single bosses name besides rexxar
A while ago
Uh
I even called thrall the wrong name the other day
I know the one on the left
thrall
Ya
And the bug dude
You do know them
Ya
NERD ALERT
Fuck my life
I don't know the names of the other two wisdom bosses though
Or the names of the two bosses in Drag
I mean u dont need the name its a quick description
all I know is I am supposed to slay this monstrosity in the name of the mag’har
Forge master somethin
Slaver something
The fleshbeast is a hilarious name
Theres the warlock guy
Yeah idk the warlock guy's name even a little
There’s a warlock guy?
Ohhhh
I just think of him as the free miniboss
I just SR him on my way by and TD go brrr
Yep
Yeah he's a joke no matter what you're playing on
So anyways.. on org i always went to the bigboi first then silence after that tormentor and rexxar
I did it the opposite eay
Way
I tanked a run with a 390 warglaive and a strength weapon
So what if I had to infernal strike on cd in place to keep threat
Is there any math online of Devastator vs Booming Voice for single target? (Assuming 1 Deafening Crash & 3 Bastion of Might)
Can Clockwork Heart proc at a higher rate than once per minute if packs last less than a minute?
So does anyone have a clear answer that when using devastator and a ton of haste, is shield block worth more dmg per rage than revenge? it seems decently hard to determine
Single target it’s always more damage
Revenge is only used on proc
hey so im new to tanking and i was just wondering why prioritize ilvl over traits ? is it cause of the armor and stam increase? and does higher agi make you more tanky?
Even IP has more DPR due to AM
@rancid flicker
-
The only trait worth ilvl is first and last DC piece. Technically, ilvl benefits that traits get outweigh most traits except for aforementioned example
-
Agility does nothing for strength specs nowadays
ah yea sorry i mean higher str make you more tanky
Ilvl is the king for all tank specs nowadays
Ideally you want to look for ilvl>haste>crit>=verse>mastery
anyway to see in details if you have gotten hit in the back through a dungeon?
ty @still pagoda
I'm sure there is, theres a whole encounter breakdown you can bring up in details
I just dont mess with it that much
^
I just know when i get hit in the back
Because it drops you really fast if you allow for such
It depends on what level dungeons you are going for
Logs would be how I would determine that probably. Look at events, look for SB buff but no blocked number in the event
22-23+ dungeons you can consider swapping to versatility builds
According to people here as well as some streamers
And it’s good advice to be honest
We have a pin written by Naowh about when to use what
Yeah his google doc article thing is on point
so at lower m+ whats the best corruption?
TD
what would u guys say its better Psychic shell or Sigil of Warding, what instances would i run one over another
I haven never used sigil but shell is a must have in my book for pushing keys to highish or High levels. Basically a nice cd for every pull
ok cool, i wasnt sure if the nyalotha bonus buff would make it worse outside of raid compared to sigil
ty friend
Late reply, still working; thx for the replies regarding vision spec
Hello everyone. I'm really starting to dive into prot warrior for the first time since cata. It's been a lot of fun. I'm trying to do a lot of research on the spec and it turns out that there aren't a ton of in depth resources. I'm currently trying to figure out which trinket to use, i've got 470 ilvl gore-crusted butchers block, 460 humming black dragonscale and 460 void-twisted titanshard. Can anyone tell me which trinkets are the best to run and more importantly, why that comp of trinkets is best? THank you ahead of time!!!!
You can scrap the titanshard, and the other two are solid
Ideally you'd want something like Rezan's Gleaming Eye + Vita from Ra-den.
if you don't mind me asking, why go with that comp of trinkets? does the overall strength increase outweigh the versatility? or is it more based on ilvl > than stats/equp
The void twisted trinket is just buns that’s why that combo. The shield is gone almost instantly In most real content so the crit bonus is never there. The general philosophy is more stats = better stats. The ~200 vers you get from that trinket won’t save your life. Whereas a nice uptime in haste with scale and a good crit block you will get more value in the long run
@main current there are plenty of in depth resources, any of the guides in #268491842637660160 are completely accurate and contain all the information you need
does anyone have a weakaura that helps me see when some1 in my group uses font of power?
im basically looking for an icon that pops up when some1 fonts & stays on screen for 20 seconds
Is there a general rule of thumb for corruptions? Like I'm close to being able to get TD 3 when it comes out but my friends tell me it would be better to get TD 1's
im just coming back to the game and dont know a lot about optimizations in terms of corruptions
No reason to care about what rank of TD you get as a prot war, especially if you’re not pushing high enough to need a versatile set.
It’s the same cost for the same corruption for the same damage.
yea I guess so
I'm only 460 Ilvl and im just aiming to do 15's every week for me and my friends and maybe some heroic / early mythic stuff
I just need some form of TD I guess. Thanks!
So the Noah pin (which is great) really only applies to stuff 20+?
Anyone use Jes’s howler? Vers seems to be meta now I guess.
He says when you should use each corruption in the article @sick sentinel
@warm plinth sorry, I meant the essence build. Noah only mentions the conflict major and lucid major build, not VoP
Lucid can be used as soon as you are comfortable using it and want the control it offers. VoP is fine as a go-to major until then. Conflict and Lucid were mentioned in the article as builds that he uses for certain situations when the vers build is required, so that would be very high keys.
Ok that makes sense!
for everything sub 20 literally just stack td and blast
Killing things fast is survivability
i have TDs, i just have extra wiggle room for 10 more corruption
i'll swap it out once i have enough resistance for a fifth stack
by now I dropped all defense and with few more cloak ups going from td5 to td6
Basically playing like 4dps + heal
rezan was a little scary this week but most other things np w/o any def trinket or defense essences
HoD
HoD for m+ too i assume?
Yes
IF is not bad tho don’t get it twisted
If you have a shit shield If might even be better until you get a good one
hey guys. wassup. wanted to ask you about corruption. Into the fray gives me very high portion of haste and bastion of might gives mastery. So I wanted to increase my versatility and I cant choose what corruption is better: proc or solid %
Check out the article in the pins for what corruptions you should use @blazing current
there are stars and devastation. dats no interesting to me. I wanted to discuss with experienced warriors
It talks about versatility corruptions in the article.
the dream for high keys is like 5x versatile 3 and 1 rank 3 surging vitality
and full versa gems/enchants
i tried to charge back onto drestagath & it tab targetted a TFB that JUST spawned ._.
mouseover macro for intercept is a game changer
i have a mod mouseover macro for it
1 charges my target, alt 1 charges my mouseover
but i mainly use it for charging friendlies
fair
anyone have a suggestion if i should gear up fury or arms for an offspec for m+ specifically?
I fucking hate tyrannical week
idk if ones way better or easier to learn, or has a similar stat prio to prot
Playing with 2-2.5k io pugs that still don’t know dungeon mechanics after 2 years of xpac
Boosted by gear
Hunter sitting on ledge of second shrine boss with 9 stacks of debuff gets oneshot by gale slice
Wonders why I leave key
From my understanding both are pretty easy to learn
but arms is way way more trait/gear dependent than fury
doesnt fury need 3 cshb?
like if you don't have a certain threshold of haste that you bascially need expedient to get, arms is basically poo
yeh but i don't think fury has a certain like... crit threshold to make cshb to work haha
yeah arms doesnt even feel like a spec below 30% haste
new prot warrior.. whats the best corruption for us to have?
Twilight Dev
nvm read the pinned posts
that too haha
someone please confirm this for me because my dumb guildie is making me think im crazy, spell reflect works as just a 5 sec 20% magic damage reduction right?
until it reflects something u take 20% less damage, for 5 seconds
yeh
so like shads dot
yeah
ty
he was so adamant i thought i was being the dumb one
kinda off topic, are there any boss spells you can straight up reflect?
i cant think of any
theres a google doc in #268491842637660160
oh word
shows everything reflectable/deflectable
nice, thanks
@blazing current if you're asking for the most effective way to play dont throw a fit when the conventional wisdom isn't "interesting"
You're free to play how you'd like but don't get angry over the answer
Idk how Stars and TD isn’t interesting, but a flat stat boost is
i think i'mma have to race change to orc/be, tauren armor too ugly
Make it a vulpera, you know you want to
Any tips for tanking shrine second boa
Boss
Fight always feels like it overwhelms me
Overwhelms you in what way?
should i try to stack IT instead of TD for +15s? iv seen some warrior run that but mostly for 20+
Two IT1s is enough
TD is still what you want mostly though, especially if you're only doing 15s
Is insanity bomb reflectable on carapace? Have an instance where i didnt get the debuff and got feared, and the only culprit i can suspect is reflect
running TD r5 right now, was thinking to make it r3 and use IT
@hallow phoenix
#268491842637660160 Reflectable/blockable spreadsheet in that channel
@warm plinth keeping track of almost invisible (for me) Nadoes, trying to keep track of stacks, trying to drop stacks, and interupt
It just feels like such a pug killer all the time
Especially this week
reflecting hiveminds mind numbing nova only reflects the one on you right?
raid still eats it?
pretty sure yes
yes
Would someone mind explaining the shrine second boss corner strat, and basically when you need to actually move out of the corner
move when you have to dodge tornado and when they spawn the green rune
some tricks to tank wrathion on mythic ? i always die on 2nd breath :c new to raid on protection war
Make sure you have ignore pain, it’s not physical so don’t worry about SB. Avatar gives you a def buff, use a nzoth trinket or maut trinket, shield wall dampens damage. If all else fails get better gear/more vers/have better healers
Also, be sure to use spell reflection, it will reduce the damage of the breath by 20%. Although I don't raid mythic, I usually save the spell reflect for the second one.
spell reflect + last stand/shield wall/external/n'zoth trinket it and you shouldn't die
just TD proc right before the third one and rip aggro, then it gets spicey XD
You can also rallying cry if you need some extra health to survive
and what essences should i use for raid?
to live or to dps
live for now
Personally, I use VoP major, Conflict and Strife minor, The Formless Void minor, and Null Dynamo minor
Null Dynamo would probably be a big help if you don't already use it
depending fight you can swap null for the rage one, and if you don't need extra corruption resist change that for sphere
but usually correct play / using externals makes the bigger difference than minors, but yeah if you find yourself low for breaths null would help
You shouldnt need anything at all for 1st breath. Just have IP up. Spell reflect + IP is enough if youre topped but no reason to hold your cds for too long. I rotate demo shout/last stand/shield wall on 2nd breaths. And play VoP major if youre not comfortable with the movement debuff
@sturdy salmon
If you have nzoth trinket just use that on 2nd breaths 
yep
guys for m+ essences and i dont have conflict, is this setup fine? vop (majr), warden, aegis, null
or shud i use lucid for minor?
Replace null with lucid yeah
ok. do i need to use Null on certain dungeons? like shrine, etc
or its just a l2p thing
No, shrine has avoidable magic damage so not very used there
lets say the keys are arund 18-19
Null can be used in workshop, ML tyrann, ToS and WCM
oh i've been using null way too much then
lol femclap swapped to pandaren as well
What's the argument on lucid above null? How much hidden % damage/Dr is there in the rage kickback?
Null is a small absorb and splits damage in aoe, not very m+ friendly. I use it mainly for WS and ML because boss dps and it helps a bit with surviving
Overall damage/Dr from null is greater than the gain from 30% uptime on the versa buff & healing gained from the procc on lucid
Lucid is just great, as its more rage to feed into AM with
Not just the heal and vers
That's why I'm asking the specific question of how much hidden value there is in the extra rage in terms of dmg/dr. Anyone did estimates?
No but i could check some logs and see the rage i got from it
I get like 1.3k-1.5k rage from lucid
But i also use the major, so the numbers are a bit higher than they would be when using VoP major
VS null, that does like 1.5k hps/dps (?)
Null doesn't work vs non magic dmg. Not every dungeon has magic dmg
It doesn't deal dmg if there's no magic dmg that hits the shield
In alot of dungeons there's not enough magic dmg to validate its use over other essences
every dungeon has magic if you eat eye of corruptions \o/
😄
Also null doesn't scale with key level, unlike stat corruptions like the vers proc of lucid
What do you mean 'another'
so you have two
🤔
one by the unit frame and another in the middle of the screen
What for, you can detach the cast bar / make it bigger
but i want it a both places 😦
You can do that with WAs probably
can i add another cast bar with stock elvui?
@orchid frigate
Quartz and WA
alright alright
I can try reverse engineering WA-made cast bar from Afenar's sets
But later on when i'm done with all the IRL for today
ill just snag one from wago. was just hoping to be able to do without. ty tho ❤️
this one will probably do https://wago.io/rxmLil95V

I can't seem to find an answer to this, but can you reflect kujo's bite thing?
The dot from hell
( I assume it doesn't go on him, but it feels single target, so maybe it won't wreck you?)
it'll give you the 20% spell damage DR but it doesn't reflect or deflect it
Okie, thanks. I was -reasonably- sure it didn't work, but the dot from ML does so had to ask.
the dot?
hm, never really had issues with moving her tbf
She hits like a fuckin truck
^
I just rage quit a 17 ML since melee could not bait
I never had problems with surviving Rixxa
bait the "wind" thingie you mean? to clean the puddles?
But seen huntard dying in the puddle yesterday
He probably played tanks in MoP too much 😂
Stand in fire - DPS higher!
yeah im not tanking motherloade this week
ML is really easy this week
It's not bad, if you want you can hearthstone out after second boss and respec
Remove the shield block talents for IP and HP
Cause last two bosses don't melee
Well, they do melee, but for some reason it's magic 😜
For some reason I thought one or the other did some laughable melee damage (between the massive magic spikes)
swiftmend saber reflectable?
Emmm... It is aoe. You can't reflect it anyway
not always true, remember G'huun pizza pie floor aoe's 😄
What's recommended this week
I'm about to "attempt" a 20 TD w/ cns major aegis minor. lucid and vop
Very nice, thank you @undone sun
do you guys run ignore pain talent or bolster in shrine
always bolster
bolster, always, apart from last two bosses in ML if you wanna hearthstone out

Always bolster
thanks guys
i don't believe NS is recommended for ML anymore
At least in legion there were some 'aoes' that reflect worked on, though it was pretty random, but this spreadsheet is very nice to have.
You won't really need NS even on last 2 bosses of ML
im just scared waterblasts wont get kicked in this pug 😐
NS wont fix that
fair enough, I never HS'd out though, just mimic what I've heard here in the past 😄
Only getting good DPS into group will help with that
Keep in mind, NS doesn't increase your IP if you're high HP.
So if you're low enough, no amount of IP will save you
If you're at 200k HP and a blast goes off, you're just dead
NS only does anything if you're low HP, you press IP and then get topped again
It really isn't that useful. If people can do 25+ rixxa without NS, then you will be able to on 17
I actually figured (just my thought, could be wrong) that punish would be the big get for the bosses that really truck magically
Doesn't seem worth losing the haste, though
Haste = more rage = more IP = more CDs like Demo / SW / LS
And 15% is quite a chunk
Yeah, punish would just -occasionaly- turn a oneshot without cooldowns into a not oneshot. But as I said, probably not worth it.
And a pretty damn narrow window
any1 else had a small update or just me
@undone sun why isnt NS recommended for ML?
1 minute less CD on LS is large
and the block thing is nice
Not on last two ML
¯_(ツ)_/¯
damn, I hate TD so much that I barely time a 15 there 😄
that doesnt mean anything
if youre asking if theres a certain uptime %, then no
theres legimitately no information to be gathered from that
^
post a log if you want proper feedback
KR's fine this week, at least on those key levels
only the minion packs will spike bursting, and taht's two times
yeah, as I typed bursting, I noticed I made an error there hahaha
was thinking "fine on lower tyr weeks", but bursting fucks over low keys
KR is cancer on low keys
no matter the week [2]
kr is always cancer
nah
also im mostly pugging
it's actually p chill higher
sometimes i play with a healer but thats it
yeah
it is a real cancer in lower bracket
you have the least amount of input in KR as a tank tbh
im really scared of ppl fucking up the 1st boss and bricking the key
healer has alot on his plate, so do dps so they don't die
from there its okay
👀
i have a day-off today so gonna run more M+ before raid night
first boss is legit the easiest doe
key gets bricked more often than not on council boss, zul, or last
^
heck, its more probable to get bricked on mchimba
than first boss
or the bridge pulls
idk im really scared to fuck it up
i have horrible memories of first boss getting a huge shield
but that was in like
8.0
a very long time ago i dont remember much about the dungeons
🤔
Hey guys, for pushing ~18-19-20 keys. How much corruption are people running generally? If i want to run TD5 i have no room for other corruptions because i have 56 corruption already. You guys think that's fine/manageable?
^
I've been 100% lazy as of late with corruptions so i just run 39 or slightly above 40.
i wouldn't run over 40 if i do a key thats higher than what i normally do
simply due to surprise factor of not knowing the damage patters
ye, that's what i was thinking. but then that gear set would only have TD2 😦
i prefer not going over 39 either
but maybe TD5 would've been worth it.
What else are you running next to TD5 then?
nada, my corr res is too low still
Ofc you can.
yea, i need to get grinding indeed. Though i Main my warrior ^^
so i dont do Nzoth weekly >.<
*i Dont main my warrior
And i thought i was behind with my 2 weeks.
@ionic fern
pfff
i'm only at 65 cloak res
hopefully ill be able to find a 30 tank hc grp
83 chad here
83 is the current cloak max
Exactly
😎
I'm like...77(?)
nullification worth in ToS or nah ?
I wanna say nah
i think ill try it cuz theres some annoying casts that dont always get kicked in many pulls
any good place you can go back to and have a look on which essences to use where?
ToS doesn't have anything that will one shot you without null
VoP major for m+
CoF major for raids/visions
-CnS - Always CnS!
-Lucid(works for any content)
-Aegis(m+/visions)/Sphere(m+/visions)/warden(m+)/void(raids/m+/visions)
-null(raids (WS, ML,WCM(?))) [VoP minor for raids if you have CoF major]
Pick 3 minors, only 1 corruption resistance. void>warden if you have someone with CoF major in the group
WCM? Why WCM
