ez

steep wraith
#

Sounds more like you have heart of darkness

#

And by unequipping TD you don't have enough corruption to activate it

odd fiber
#

Yeah that was the issue i just found, thanks for the help

still pagoda
#

+19TD returned to me

#

for the third time in one week

upper violet
#

uhhhh do i run 59 corruption for td5

#

im kinda scared tbh

sick sentinel
#

being scared is for the weak

#

are you weak

still pagoda
#

man

#

it's fine

#

totally

#

just deal with it

upper violet
#

the eye is huge

still pagoda
#

pfff

upper violet
#

do i ignore it when SR isnt up

still pagoda
#

it is not

#

ignore it

#

first 8 stacks for sure

upper violet
#

does the damage from it scale with corruption or jus the aoe

still pagoda
#

damage scales

#

but it is not scary until second proc in a row

I know this isn't the log review channel (I posted over there too) but if anyone here wanted to look through and give me some pointers I'd appreciate it. (I'm Scarzan in these logs, and I tanked everything except N'Zoth, so plenty to look through)

warm plinth
#

We would prefer you post them here anyway tbh for prot :p

#

Any specific things you feel you are struggling with?

marsh smelt
#

I feel like I overlap too many defensives, since I'm not comfortable with how much I should have up yet. I'm also pretty sure I'm not hitting stuff like Avatar and Demo Shout often enough. I know I rage cap sometimes. Hmm... probably using Devastator too much?

#

I guess lots of stuff. I used to raid a lot, and I can tell I'm doing a lot wrong right now, but I'm not sure where to start.

warm plinth
#

You're using Devastate way too much; I noticed that immediately

#

You're wasting a lot of rage on a couple of these fights as well, which is probably because you never press Ignore Pain (by never I mean, very infrequently)

#

But you are also correct about Avatar and Demo Shout. You're not casting them enough.

left hatch
#

you can copy paste your log into WowAnalyzer to give you a pretty good breakdown of where you're lacking as well

warm plinth
#

Yeah, WoWAnalyzer is really good to find foundational mistakes

#

Er, fundamental

marsh smelt
#

Cool, I'll try WoWAnalyzer too. @warm plinth thanks for the help.

#

Damn, this WoWAnalyzer breakdown is amazing.

odd fiber
#

@marsh smelt just for overall damage reduction: Make sure you are using Demo Shout frequently, but effectively (basically don't waste it, but don't ignore using it) especially if you are using BV. Make sure while using Bolster you don't use shield block, all rage for the most part should be going into IP and the occasional revenge.

#

That's just some quick notes based off of the little bit i saw

marsh smelt
#

@odd fiber thanks!

odd fiber
#

there are some offensive stuff you can improve on but the wowanalyzer should help you out a lot

lower keys?

upper violet

yeah it was like a 12 fh

trying to farm a 460 ring to replace a 445

still pagoda
steep bone
#

what essences would be the best for FH boosting?

strange tide
#

I’ve been boosting for a while and just the standard m+ essences are fine (though I use aegis instead of CnS because the enemy count is consistently over 7)

VoP Major
Aegis, Lucid and Warden

Not sure if best but I’ve had no issues

steep bone
#

ive been thinking about going anima for major for that aoe damagi

warm plinth
#

Eh

#

Anima is kinda overkill imo

#

Only get 2 uses out of it per run anyway

#

Frankly essences just don't matter for FH anymore as long as you have TD

steep bone
#

i do

#

but still im just 462

main vault
#

kinda low for boosting really

warm plinth
#

Eh I mean, if you can do the full run in less than 6 mins it really doesn't matter if you go faster

main vault
#

big true tbh

#

Its 11 runs for 110-120, after the intro bit

warm plinth
#

Yeah

ornate ferry
#

Would swapping warden to raid essence be more dmg?

#

Nya raid essence*

buoyant scroll
#

quick question what kind of use has devasted? i mean if details dont lie simple autoattacks do more dmg

warm plinth
#

Devastate does not generate rage

#

It's just a filler ability used to proc Shield Slam resets

buoyant scroll
#

doesnt stand in the tooltip as far as i see

strong forum
#

devastator is only picked for little bit more ST dmg

warm plinth
#

You use it when nothing else is available

left hatch
#

the ability is a filler and it doesn't stop your aa's or anything

#

the talent adds that damage TO your auto attacks

#

so not sure if you're talking about the talent of the baseline ability but either way "AA's do more damage" is completely unrelated

#

and frankly your autoattacks should be doing more damage, since you so rarely hit deva

still pagoda
#

how many times i won't see pugs using fucking binding shot in TD

#

on cannon section

#

literally had +19TD downtiered to +18 thanks to pugs killing healer with bursting and blaming it on tank, not using any defensives and huntard not using binding shot on packs for cannon to get good damage

#

and then screaming "TANK SHOULD NEVER GET INTO THE CANNON IT'S COMPLETELY YOUR FAULT" while failing to use first cannon to any effectiveness

strong forum
#

people playing cannons correctly is a miracle in lower keys

#

+19's start to seem like 12-15 bracket all over again

that feeling will never change

still pagoda
#

insane amount of boosted monkeys

left hatch
#

i just really dislike the cannon's

#

even if people know how to handle it

#

its not fun to juyst afk for 10-20s as they do it

#

any downtime in that kinda content juts feels... awful

#

see also FH RP

still pagoda
#

it is especially not fun to see pugs saying that tank is idiot when i get into the cannon just to use it properly and don't see any fucking CC or binding shot

midnight snow
#

You shouldn’t have any downtime during freehold RP if you’re doing the dungeon optimally

left hatch
#

even doing trash while the turlte walks out

#

you still have a few seconds

#

and the fact you have to plan around that spawn window to make it optimal

#

just illustrates the problem with it

sick sentinel

Shit game don’t @ me

midnight snow
#

Yea man I’d rather just ook ook my way forward through a dungeon too

Just curious, did you have a rogue for the cannon @still pagoda ?

i left after not seeing any binding shots for second cannon

Never leave

The one thing I wish you could do with the cannon is move the camera and have it stay while you aim

Always be toxic until others leave

frick yes, timed a 23 AD yep

i think i will be looking for raiding guild for a really loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time

sick sentinel
#

23 AD on tyr

#

Hats off my friend

warm plinth
#

We have a 21 AD to do tonight

#

AD is so tough though; you have to play so perfect to time it

still pagoda

Hats off

Which is hard when you are in the group we know ghash

😘

sweet summit
#

lmfao

warm plinth
#

Yeah, exactly

still pagoda
#

like

#

i'm trying to find a tank spot in guilds with around 6-7/12M

#

because i don't know whether guilds with bigger prog will even consider some random 3/12M prot warr whos main tanking experience comes from M+

sick sentinel
#

Probably not

#

Tbh most guild recruiting don’t really look for tanks from the outside

#

Most guilds will just use someone from the team to tank and recruit dps

sweet summit
#

i did play giga vers in that AD, and im ashamed

earnest mist
#

how come is vex chest better than the asvane warden's?

still pagoda
#

not really

sick sentinel
#

theyre about equal

still pagoda
#

about equal with mecha chest being literally the best

#

due to CwH being gameable

sweet summit
#

and OP

earnest mist
#

and yet I rarely see people running ashvanes

#

strange

sweet summit
still pagoda
#

who said "rarely"?

earnest mist
#

would you pick one over the other for specific situations?

sick sentinel
#

Not really

earnest mist
#

and the best head is the nzoth one or do sea-brawlers/abyssal work as well?

still pagoda
#

abyssal is the best

earnest mist
#

so abyssal -> nzoth -> sea-brawlers?

sweet summit
#

nzoth>abyssal

#

imo

#

actually i think nzoth=abyssal

#

abyssal has OP and IV

earnest mist
#

sea-brawlers can't be that far from it though right

sweet summit
#

not really, no

#

just the t3 and t4 trait difference

earnest mist
#

yeah if I got sea-brawlers I guess it isnt that worth to invest into abyssal, rather get the mecha chest I guess (I got the ashvane/vex ones rn)?

still pagoda
#

i have never thought that looking for a raiding guild may take that long

#

any other places i can look in besides wowprogress and blizz forums?

but honestly even if guild doesn't have wowprog page filled no harm to ask them

Two questions.

  1. should I by trying to make the Mechagon trinket with the haste proc and a haste yellow card if my current trinkets are 460 Torment and 440 Rezan?
  2. If I should, does dungeon difficulty matter for the punchcards that drops or should I just be farming Heroic to get it as fast as possible?
    Thanks!

warm plinth
#

@marsh smelt I second what Rosjen said. You can't get punchcards higher than 430 anymore so there's no real point in trying for the punchcard trinket.

I have surging vitality 3 on two different haste mastery pieces, should I still buy when it comes out to apply onto a piece with vers? Planning on pushing 24s/25s soon so I'll have 4-5 vers3s

Or just save echoes for the vers3

surging vita has 50% uptime, up to you

it could very well be later than that

Im not so commited oof

dark lark

If it already has surging vitality

#

if the data mining is correct

cant trust that shit

whatsoever

its just a random pattern that was found in the database, with no real connection to the vendor

its made up

We'll find out in a week and a half

I'm also skeptical too but who knows

upper violet

Why next ones are empty

Its just weird

#

Next ones are yet to come. Last 2 rotations

#

But at least versa2 will be available next week. Might be worth

dark lark
#

Who knows, the different sets of items might not even return together

#

Anyway the point is should I buy the surg vit 3 to put on another vers item or just use what I have in the haste mastery

upper violet

I guess im buying vers 2 a few times

Not huge into minmax just need some verse for pvp

It's a meme trinket

sick sentinel
#

@proud ember what kind of pointers are you looking for

proud ember
#

@sick sentinel General gemaplay from before going to psychus, mostly dealing with the basher damage and psyhophages

sick sentinel
#

my guess is that if i use it, i have to use it mostly on casters,

#

but i have a rezan 450 eye that is better with my corrupts

#

Basher damage it’s important to make sure you are proactively preparing for void lash. I usually iron bark void lash but you can also LPS it. There shouldn’t be that many going off cause bashers should be dying as quickly as possible

#

Psychophages are tricky you really just have to A) have hunters/rogues MD and tricks you and B ) pick them up as best you can

proud ember
#

How about before the pull is the way we did it alright? ><

#

Was kinda experimenting with it and idk anymore

sick sentinel
#

What is your off tank? Seems like they are taking fewer void lashes than you are

proud ember
#

Vengence DH

sick sentinel
#

I would swap the two of you tbh

#

Vdh will be more self sustaining through multiple void lashes and be easier on healers. Also make sure your team are knocking psychophages away from you if possible I noticed you took quite a bit of sanity damage

proud ember
#

Hmm, I mean we both have to stay out, so is it worth to reprogress psychus for the switch?

sick sentinel
#

Prob not. But you should be dpsing the bashers a bit harder it seems

#

Most of the prog on that boss is going to be from your dps figuring it out

#

Like any boss ofc

proud ember
#

Yeah i noticed this much, I get quite a few deaths from situations where I go "OK this should die relatively fast, no need to pop a coolie" DEAD

#

What about bashers overlapping with the raid wide aoe?

#

will LPS manage that?

Only reason to switch to brew for you is if they have 0 mistweavers or windwalkers for the debuff

still pagoda
#

Second psychus phase, but i don't think we'll reach N'Zoth anywhere soon

dark lark
#

Or if you thoroughly enjoy playing brew more than war

still pagoda
#

I enjoy both

dark lark
#

That's fair

still pagoda
#

And they don't require me to reroll(for now)

#

Anyway looking forward to first raid night with them this Wednesday

dark lark
#

🙂

#

i love brew as well but i couldn't be bothered to maintain multiple more than one alt and I chose blood lul

#

mainly because i really enjoy frost and unholy as well

#

My only 2 toons on Kazzak are warr and monk

chilly brook
#

is bis

#

don't @ me

still pagoda
#

Xferring and faction swapping my warrio to Kazzak from Gordunni were the best $45 i've ever spent on WoW

sick sentinel

I'm a fan of whatever shows my icons

I used Khakhans for a long time early on

#

Back when i've only started to raid mythic back in ToS

#

Tbf. I’m with you Karton

#

If you wanna perform at a high level as a tank, you main tank, not a tank class

midnight eagle

is there time to get 7000 echoes before twilight dev 3 is gone?

#

i have almost 8k now but havent played in a bit

main vault
#

Are you going to sleep?

midnight eagle
#

yes

main vault
#

Then no

midnight eagle
#

ok

You need 32 15s

midnight eagle
#

haha damn

#

Or about 23 1/2 hours of arena

#

With winning

You will need less 15s, with emissaries

But outside that, big nope

#

If you wanna perform at a high level as a tank, you main tank, not a tank class
@main vault

I'm planning on maintaining warrior amd monk for now. And then gradually level up and prep for SL something like pala or VDH

main vault
#

Yeah, when I seriously raided I did all 6

still pagoda
#

So that i have variety of tank classes to choose in case of urgent nerfs

main vault
#

But generally Bear/Monk/whatever were raid ready

#

And the other three were a farm or two away

still pagoda
#

This one is 2 nights/week one so i think i'll be fine with 3 as long as none of them is BDK

dark lark
#

unless you're competing for world first, just play what you like *and isn't completely useless

still pagoda
#

Yea

main vault
#

thats fine and all

#

but some people like not being cucked into a class

still pagoda
#

Unless it's nerfed into ground

#

Say hi to prot warr in Nighthold

main vault
#

Just because every class can do it, doesnt mean someone wants to make it harder

#

I was just gonna say, Prot in NH was pretty much inting

still pagoda
#

DPS specs were great in NH

#

but prot...

speaking of dps specs

#

Blizz made it so it doesn't exist

When the fuck did Arms get so good

@smoky garnet Hiii friend

when you get expedient 20

main vault
#

Just a few weeks ago it was like 3/4

smoky garnet

arms kinda pipes

main vault
#

Now its 1

still pagoda
#

Arms is literally the spec to pipe the raid with

smoky garnet
#

real alphas play sub rogue

#

only 611 are alphas

main vault
#

If I ever played melee

still pagoda
#

Insane execute, overally good damage over the duration of the fight, raid utility

It would be Arms tbh

Always loved Arms

If you don’t want to run much TD for mythic + what corruption would you stack?

why don't you want to run TD

If you hate doing damage I guess you wouldn’t want to run TD

@main vault i decided to meme with expedient 12 and 2 it 1s in keys

You still pipes but with TC spam

do you still need that weak aura or is it baked into the base addon

thanks

carmine echo
#

so as someone who hasn't tanked since cata, i'm still unsure on when to use ignore pain...on magic damage or when i have enough rage w/ shield block up?

still pagoda
#

Use it as a rage dump

#

And save 30 rage when you need to extend shield block for effective uptime

#

Easy as that

#

It is much worse to overcap on rage than to overcap IP

#

I just spam it away even when i have absorb cap

carmine echo
#

sweet, sounds lke i was over thinking it...thanks a lot

still pagoda
#

Faster CDR through rage spending keeps you alive and well with cooldowns rapidly coming back

chilly brook
#

@carmine echo it's really this simple, use shield block if you have extra use IP as well

#

Unless of course you can't block the attacks

#

then forgo shield block

still pagoda
#

You will swim in rage if you have enough haste and click your buttons though

novel ruin
#

Does shield block do anything against magical damage attackers such as Shadow of Zul or Motherlode last two bosses?

chilly brook
#

no

still pagoda
#

So you will always have rage to burn

chilly brook
#

hence why I said forgo shield block if you can't block

still pagoda
#

Back in legion we also had insane amount of rage coming with incoming damage

#

That was funky

novel ruin
#

Is there a list of bosses /mobs that are magical in nature?

chilly brook
still pagoda
#

Sometimes i would rage cap instantly on spider pack before last boss room in Cathedral on fort weeks

There's a blockable/reflectable sheet

@still pagoda so I updated my wowprog

Now have a trial with a CE guild for SL

still pagoda
#

👍

#

Though this will be only few months away from now

sick sentinel
#

Td pad

#

Versa it good

still pagoda
#

Only for WF keys

#

Otherwise you either pipes with TD

#

Or get roasted for low DPS in keys while having streamer simp mentality

#

99% of prot survivability is baseline already

#

You don't need high vers stacking unless you push giga high keys

primal dune
#

I get roasted for Insta kill adds with rank 7 TD in bursting anyway

still pagoda
#

Fuck those guys if so

cobalt cloud
#

td is love, td is life

still pagoda
#

Their problem that they can't handle 7-8 stacks applied instantly

#

Which is basically harmless compared to prolonged application

primal dune
#

Does rank 7 TD one shots in arena?

still pagoda
#

No

primal dune
#

Fuck

still pagoda
#

Though bears can do so

#

Under all the buffs

primal dune
#

Got one shot by unholy MCed in KR add room

#

TDed me for 740k instantly

#

Got obliterated

cobalt cloud
#

holy shit

still pagoda
#

This is why you never bring idiots who run TD as a DPS to KR

#

Better off going with stat stackers or actually decent UhDK who doesn't stack TD like a boosted monkey

primal dune
#

Isn’t all pugs monkeys by default?

still pagoda
#

90% for sure

#

RIP 3 +19TD's i had this week

#

One of RIPs can be confirmed by Rosjen

#

The first one to be precise

#

I did badly with some things myself in it

#

But seeing holy priest and huntard not using CDs on doubles was one hell of a circus

#

Second and 3rd had healers dying from avoidable shit on barrels boss and leaving while blaming tank

primal dune
#

F for every healer externals used after health dips

still pagoda
#

Another nail into the coffin of those morons who don't use their CDs proactively

#

It's 4AM here already

#

I can't fall asleep

#

Last cup of tea sas excessive

primal dune
#

I love the last 2 TD bosses on tyrannical because you can see all the retard dps that never learned the mechanics

still pagoda
#

And this batch of tea is much stronger than what i had before

#

I love the last 2 TD bosses on tyrannical because you can see all the retard dps that never learned the mechanics
@primal dune

This is also why i hate it

#

TD becomes really easy once you master it

primal dune
#

I’ve yet to see a ranged healer or dps not die to massive blast at least once

still pagoda
#

But if you're a retard or 3k rio boosted monkey, it won't go smooth and tank will want to leave after first beach pull

primal dune
#

Or huntard FD deadeye

still pagoda
#

This is basically the same

sick sentinel
#

how do you actually play the beach pull as melee?

still pagoda
#

Wrong chat

primal dune
#

Melee tank or melee dps?

still pagoda
#

But i usually just pull all crab packs, parasites and 2 crocodiles

#

Get aggro and start kiting around until it bores me out

#

Then i just run back in, proc 2-3 TDs and continue kiting

#

Works without CnS

#

And the best with frost mage

primal dune
#

Bounding stride?

still pagoda
#

Nah

#

You can run out without it

primal dune
#

Pretty dicey I feel

still pagoda
#

Just shockwave and start running

#

You can also use basic 50% speed potion for this

primal dune
#

Shockwave CD reduction or stormbolt

still pagoda
#

Stormbolt

#

Second interrupt is always handy

primal dune
#

That’s literally as long a cool down as leap

still pagoda
#

They won't get to you with all the slows anyway

#

Sphere minor in my case

iron raptor
#

Hey guys

primal dune
#

Cute you think pug will slow them for you

still pagoda

But you can facetano those packs easily

primal dune

I almost cried when I saw a monk ring it for me

#

Welcome @iron raptor

#

Cute you think pugs have enough dps to kill it

still pagoda
#

@primal dune sphere minor

#

No need to rely on those braindead pugs

iron raptor
#

Question for you

still pagoda
#

R2 sphere gives 30% slow for 7 seconds

primal dune
#

I’ll give that one a whirl

#

How does it proc

#

Any cc?

still pagoda
#

On every goddamn hit you take

left hatch
#

things hitting you

#

30% slow

#

also gives you 400 some haste

still pagoda
#

It's basically a haste buff with 100% uptime

#

And slow

primal dune
#

Isn’t clap a 30% slow anyway?

left hatch
#

clap is 20%

still pagoda
#

Clap is 20%

primal dune
#

Ah

still pagoda
#

Since BfA beta

#

When they decided to nerf all snares

iron raptor
#

I’ve ran a few Motherlode 20s this week. Rixxa Fluxflame eats me alive. How are you all dealing with it on high keys w/ tyrr?

still pagoda
#

Except for one

left hatch
#

the only higher slows with decent uptime is Frost mage and sassins

still pagoda
#

Which is blizzard

primal dune
#

Big brain moment

#

Assa poison snare is still 35%

SR and then have healer dispel

So it is not as good as godlike 50% from blizzard

Timed a 20KR this week. The only difficult part for me personally was (surprisingly) managing defensives on the last boss fight.

with like, 4 td or some crap

HASTE TO THE HASTE GOD

Fortified KR is harder than tyrannical, personally speaking

sick sentinel
#

bursting KR is harder than any KR

still pagoda
#

But yeah, i'm running TD4 cause i'm poor and want few haste fillers

primal dune
#

Is it just blade combo or is there something else I need to block for

still pagoda
#

Bursting KR is easy

dark lark
#

Just blade combo

still pagoda
#

Just roll blood elf

primal dune
#

Bursting anything is easy with non retarded dps

sick sentinel
#

wait, so are you set up for m+?

#

or raid?

dark lark

If you can get into the rhythm, you can save shield blocks for when he does quaking leap and kite a few extra feet

primal dune
#

Spoken like a horde scum

still pagoda
#

For everything

#

But i take off one exp2 to go below 40 for raids

sick sentinel
#

so, i should just drop my +haste and get all TD?

i'm mostly looking to do M+

primal dune
#

Why go below 40

still pagoda
#

@primal dune yes, i rerolled to horde last week. Problems? Pepexecute

Just let healer take care of it

Spreadsheet says reflect

#

That's ehat i'm thinking about

#

Dunno whether they will put me on adds or boss though

#

At least for now

primal dune
#

Adds for pads

#

You can pad more if you don’t pull adds to boss

#

So dps can’t kill it quickly

sick sentinel
#

Facts

primal dune
#

Also pop last stand and call for a hero

#

You’ll get 3 TD procs with 130% damage

#

Biggest pad

still pagoda

I will probably be put on boss though

#

BDKs... You know what those bastards do

No mobility?

And they have only BDK tanks before me

#

No mobility?
@primal dune
Mass grip

sick sentinel
#

Dumb to put a prot war on boss tanking with a bdk imo

still pagoda
#

I don't know yet. It may be a anything

sick sentinel
#

Mass grip is not really fabulous on that fight adds are easy to move around

still pagoda
#

Adds are spawning in tight bulks anyway

primal dune
#

As long as range interrupt all the adds will stack eventually

sick sentinel
#

It’s not like they need to insta die

still pagoda
#

So yea. I will also be stuck on BrM for bosses beyond Raden probably

sick sentinel
#

Why

still pagoda
#

Because there're no other tanks who have BrM or anything that is not BDK except for me here

sick sentinel
#

So

#

Why do you need a brm

primal dune
#

Mass grip into annihilation must feel good tho

still pagoda
#

Just to ease up life for healers. Their RL said that they were mostly looking for prot warr, but when i said that i have 465 BrM alt... It kinda escalated further

primal dune
#

Oof

still pagoda
#

Dunno, but there were no requirement to reroll yet. Will see after first raid night with them

#

I like both prot and brm equally though

sick sentinel
#

At this point in an expansion you should not need a brm to make things easier on a healer. The difference is so minimal at this point

still pagoda
#

So i don't have any problem with playing both

primal dune
#

Did you tell RL you can run rank 7 twilight and yell at Vex “why are you hitting yourself?”

still pagoda
#

Prot warr is literal phys neglection machine at that point

#

Did you tell RL you can run rank 7 twilight and yell at Vex “why are you hitting yourself?”

I run TD4 all the time

primal dune
#

Just bought TD3 yesterday before bed

#

It’s time to ruin someone’s key with TD 7

#

They may die to bursting, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make

still pagoda

I will not give you my +18TD

Don't even ask

Get td13 and ruin everyones time yep

Everyone's DPS

I’m actually so good at running TD in TD now

#

In my last 10 runs I’ve not had a TD mispull

still pagoda
#

I've started having ceiling pulls instead of wall pulls now

warm plinth
#

We did a 20 WCM last night and on one pull from Raal's room (was like 2 or 3 pack pull), our tank hit 775k DPS

primal dune
#

Have you had the classic floor pulls yet?

warm plinth
#

From TD procs*

still pagoda
#

This too

primal dune
#

And watch your healers and dps die to melee one by one

still pagoda
#

Rosjen can confirm

primal dune
#

Rookie mistakes

#

The trick is

still pagoda
#

I tol dagored one marine onto healer through the floor before last bods

primal dune
#

You run so much twilight that if it pull, they are already dead

#

Happened to me as a healer

#

Feels good man

still pagoda
#

Recently i've started pulling away first pack on 4th floor

To prevent wall pulls of casters im the barracks

I just los them at pillar and face the centre of room

Can pug healer health through TD7 worth of thing from beyond?

steady slate
#

what should be my cooldown order for mandible slams on carapace? i'm using ignore pain for the first, spell reflect for the second, and psychic shell for the third.

sick sentinel
#

You should never be at more than 2 stacks

#

The actual hit is blockable and doesn’t require a cd

#

@steady slate

spring crescent
#

Are there any m+ shields in particular that are worth targetting?

steady slate
#

ok. i was keeping shield block up, but felt pretty squishy. we were taunting at 4 stacks of black scar

spring crescent
#

Assuming I don't have a shield at all yet

sick sentinel
#

Just by spell reflecting black scar you can keep yourself from ever getting more than 2 stacks

steady slate
#

does it line up on each cast?

sick sentinel
#

Motherlode or atal shield are pretty good iirc @spring crescent

#

You can reflect every other black scar application

#

Which gives the debuff enough time to run off

wispy locust
#

whats the best way to handle rixxa in ML? was gettin trucked on a 19

sick sentinel

don't push shield block

don't overlap stuff

undone sun
#

@wraith knot yes, IV is the recommended guide

south holly
#

psychic shell worth running for m+?

spice mauve
#

imagine tanking on vol'kaal and all your dps focus 1 totem

analog swift
#

i find zero need for psychic shell on warrior

#

one of the tankiest classes in the game

rigid sinew
#

definitely not necessary but its nice to have for like

#

when ur healer is a mong

sick sentinel
#

It is certainly useable once you get to the 23/24+ key range. It’s just not worth using if you aren’t using it essentially on cd

#

If you aren’t using it all the time it’s a wasted trinket

rigid sinew
#

that too

#

22 rixxa this week it was incredibly handy

#

but ofc thats just one example

warm plinth
#

The one time he glanced my totem's way. BOOM

sick sentinel
#

OOF ya hate to see that

#

Bet that totem never messed with him again

warm plinth
#

Nope, but it did take my 15% HP totem to 0 and we couldn't finish the others in time 😂

#

Didn't wipe but wasted like a minute rekilling them

sick sentinel
#

Did that happen to be the timer?

warm plinth
#

It didn’t help but nah that wasn’t the only problem

#

mainly dps that use focused azerite beam or eye beam at a mob and be proud of their damage

#

sure bud, you got top damage, but you gave the team a 5 stack bursting

5 stack bursting ez

#

As long as you’re killing it all at the same time

i play a dps too but i know that i should stop hitting if it meant getting hit by the boss

#

better to deal low damage than die, which amounts to no damage

Just take smaller packs so bursting literally can't kill you. I feel like removing the chance to fail is easier then trying to get other people to play correctly ^^

take smaller packs and the key will take longer and potentially upgrade less

Entirely depends on keys ofc, but since we're talking about bad players here its probably no much higher then like 17's

and on those its not a problem to take smaller packs
