you can also use BfI if no CwH/HoD/MS pieces available

hollow anvil
#

me neither

#

friend told me

still pagoda
#

i saw them, said pfff and closed their "guide" page

hollow anvil
#

😮

chilly brook
#

Well I guess theres a reason why it's a little known secret, because they're wrong

left hatch
#

yah BFI and IF are ok substitutes

hollow anvil
#

lol

#

alright pepes

#

imma go and reforge my shiiite

left hatch
#

Tradewinds or the mastery proc that has a raptor icon (incite the pack?) also ok

still pagoda
#

BFI is unironically a huge ST DPS boost if RNG will be on your side

hollow anvil
#

RNG is always on my side

Hey peeps - quick question to you since I am new to tanking in general in this expansion etc. But I read that Pocket-Sized Computation Device is a auto-equip if you have the Subroutine: Overclock in it - because of the haste buff.

If you have that one, Humming Black Dragon Scale, Writhing Segment of Drest'agath and Jes' Howler - how would you equip your trinkets?

left hatch
#

its no longer an auto equip

#

its ok for its ilvl but it gets outscaled by heroic level trinkets

chilly brook
#

It's just difficult to get it to scale because of the third slot

still pagoda
#

^

left hatch
#

you wanna aim for Scale, Vita, Rezan, Lingering Psychic Shell, or Butchers Block

chilly brook
#

The effects scale on overall ilvl of the trinket

still pagoda
#

and third slot is also usually filled with garbage

left hatch
#

from what you got ig Scale and Jes

hollow anvil
#

btw how's wowhead's guide on prot ?

left hatch
#

depending on the ilvls

sweet summit
#

llarold i think @hollow anvil

#

we use vcy veins

#

since mwahi writes that one

still pagoda
#

^

#

wowhead guide is unironically garbage

chilly brook
#

Back in 8.2 I had a 450 stat yellow card that made that thing slam with the lazer beam

cedar brook
#

Yeah.. ok, the Pocket is only ilvl 405, while Jes and Humming are 445

still pagoda
#

icy veins is basically a Skyhold's inside job

cedar brook
#

and 455

left hatch
#

spam WCM and Atal

#

if you're not keen on heroic raiding

chilly brook
#

Use Jes and scale at the moment

left hatch
#

stealing my advice ):<

chilly brook
#

Also do heroic Nya because it's really easy

#

Always steal

#

It's the motto of a content creator

cedar brook
#

Cheers! Will do! And yeah, the plan is to spam M+ since I have no real interest in raiding atm

#

But if the guilds wants me to later one - 🤷

left hatch
#

its ok it was 15s or less so i cant DMCA your text

#

you get a pass this time

chilly brook
#

I mean tbh knocking out heroic nya is so easy and the most efficient way for you to gear

left hatch
#

even just finding a pug for RaDen

chilly brook
#

Plus the echoes

left hatch
#

since vita is giga value

steep bone
#

@cedar brook join some casual hc raiding guilds, that's free clear for you every week basically and items

chilly brook
#

I want vita on my DH

left hatch
#

viita scale both socketed with haste gems

#

zoom zoom

chilly brook
#

Or just join a mythic guild as a casual and get carried through heroic every week

sick sentinel
#

^ this

#

The absolute boost

#

My alts get the hard boost every single week

cedar brook
#

Hehe, thanks for the advice peeps

chilly brook
#

There are plenty of mythic guilds out there that take casuals or m+ interested people

#

And their heroics are usually free for all to join

sweet summit
#

we dont do HC anymore pepsihands my alts are dead

sick sentinel
#

We do it optionally on Tuesday

analog swift
#

we all still stacking haste to the moon for tdeez right?

chilly brook
#

For some reason

#

I thought you were making a deez nutz joke

sick sentinel
#

Yes always haste to the moon

#

Never enough haste

analog swift
#

somehow

#

i simmed the mechacombo

still pagoda
#

the guild i'm trying out for does optional HC on Saturday

analog swift
#

and it simmed 1K less dps when replacing the crit/vers ring from WM

still pagoda
#

gonna just bring in my BrM for it

#

and do fast N'Zoth run as a warr on Thursday

left hatch
#

i mean its not just for TD

sick sentinel
#

Any guild that logs on in the weekends ❌

left hatch
#

haste is just big value for us in general

chilly brook
#

I'm currently trying to setup a first 3 mythic alt run for my guild cuz I want the scale on my Vengy boi

left hatch
#

higher ava uptime, more rage gen -> lower cds

analog swift
#

i feel like it's just for td tho

#

haste effects ava?

sweet summit
#

@sick sentinel you have a life besides wow wtf?

left hatch
#

Anger management lol

analog swift
#

true

left hatch
#

our entire kit rn synergizes around haste

analog swift
#

yeah i know that

chilly brook
#

Haste also affects shield block

analog swift
#

yeah

chilly brook
#

In case you didn't know

left hatch
#

the only reason verse stacking becomes better at super high key levels is because you literally need that DR to survive being 1shot

#

otherwise haste is a better stat defensively

sick sentinel
#

I know @sweet summit I’m a casual

analog swift
#

got my SB recharge to 6 seconds at one point

#

yeah just curious why it simmed so much higher than the mecha combo

sweet summit
#

unlucky mate :/

left hatch
#

for sim purposes more Claps more avatar uptime and more DS uptime

sick sentinel
#

Clapz*

left hatch
#

at best TD is gonna be what 30-40% of your dps

analog swift
#

truth

#

ok haste to the moon

chilly brook
#

Just be a DH

#

And have TD be 70%

left hatch
#

or be a dk

#

and need versa to do 18's

#

and do 0 damage

chilly brook
#

Truuuueeee

still pagoda
#

DK

chilly brook
#

It pains me watching DKs in keys tbh

still pagoda
#

bruh

chilly brook
#

Because a lot of them are dummies

analog swift
#

also haste for junkyard build

chilly brook
#

And they waste their runic power

analog swift
#

did 117K overall

#

fucking memes rn

spring surge
#

is there like a haste point where we should switch to vers? kinda struggling trying tof igure out what i should be going for

left hatch
#

%'s don't matter, the softcap for haste is basically unreachable

sweet summit
#

166% is that cap

#

good luck

left hatch
#

the point you start going for verse is dependent on your content

spring surge
#

im starting 18s and moving up

left hatch
#

24ish range where you start being 1-shot despite perfect play

#

yeh you arn't there yet

spring surge
#

so is vers only for the damage reduction?

left hatch
#

both haste and to a small degree crit are better defensive stats for you

sick sentinel
#

Excuse me. My monk was nearly one shot by void bolt in a 15 tyr shrine :^)

left hatch
#

i mean if you're comfy you can check sims to see if regemming for a diff stat gains you much

spring surge
#

my second question would be should i prioritize TD5 or go haste with my TD2?

left hatch
#

for 18's TD is the prio

#

use haste or better yet IT1 as a filler

sick sentinel
#

TD is lyfe

spring surge
#

so aim for td5 and if1 then ideally?

left hatch
#

for rn yeh

spring surge
#

really trying to decide if i should buy that td3 or not

left hatch
#

as you work your way up you'll slowly start moving out TD for a second IT1 and some versa amps

#

but thats a ways off

limpid pawn
#

Even for 21-22 keys I’m runnin td5 with full haste

#

Just went lucid major for big pulls and it’s huge

left hatch
#

(hes talking expedient corruption)

spring surge
#

i know that lol

left hatch
#

i meant that to brollikk haha

spring surge
#

ah

left hatch
#

expedient stacking really isn't optimal

spring surge
#

so i shouldnt be looking for haste/vers gear in every slot?

left hatch
#

Ilvl>Haste>crit>=verse

spring surge
#

and is it worth buying the td3? since my luck in getting one is non existent

left hatch
#

yes

steep bone
#

its giga

left hatch
#

esp if you put it on a high ilvl piece you arn't likely to replace

#

you'll be using at least 3 ranks of TD for a very long time

spring surge
#

my biggest draw back is my cape is only at 68 resistance, still a couple weeks off from being caught up

left hatch
#

mmm worst case you can wait and buy a few TD1s when they come up

#

but that feels icky itemizationwise imo

steep bone
#

tbh, what's gonna happen to corruptions when sl gets out

left hatch
#

they said they'll turn off in SL

#

like in the zones/content

steep bone
#

im pretty sure it's gonna be bugged somehow

left hatch
#

similarly to how legion lego's turned off

#

but we explicitly arn't suddenly losing corruption or essences or traits in the prepatch/launch like we did artifact weps

spring surge
#

now for ttraits, i currently have 3 bastion, 2 brace and 1 deaf, should i be looking to switch those to heart of darkness or iron fortress instead of brace?

left hatch
#

Brace is fine

#

but HoD/CH or MS are better

#

if you have those options

spring surge
#

and for raiding is anything needed to be changed? or will m+ gear set up work?

left hatch
#

at this point you most likely overgear the content

#

so doesn't really matter

spring surge
#

ok

sick sentinel
#

Smash forehead on boss

left hatch
#

most you'll swap is essences

#

Formless Void and Null Barrier are a must for raid

#

CoF major also really gud

spring surge
#

and m+ minors i usually go aegis, warden and null

left hatch
#

eh aegis and Null are niche picks in keys

sweet summit
#

CnS where cojo

warm plinth
#

C&S, Lucid, Warden

left hatch
#

Aegis you need to be in combat with... i think its 6 targets constantly for it to be on par with CnS or Sphere

warm plinth
#

Or Formless if your healer runs CoF

left hatch
#

and Null doesn't get consumed frequently enough (or scale into aoe) to make it nearly as strong as it is in raid

sweet summit
#

or a dps runs breath major

spring surge
#

i really need to farm out conflict

left hatch
#

Until then Sphere is a more reliable pick than aegis

#

esp if you're not in the habit of chain pulling or doing trash with bosses consistently

mild ore
sweet summit
#

thats a good ring tho

left hatch
#

and sphere you only need r1

sweet summit
#

big haste and sock

left hatch
#

so you can pick it up real quick

chilly brook
#

I mean tbh

#

That effect wouldn't be completely useless either

sweet summit
#

might negate one tick of bursting throughout the dungeon 🤣

chilly brook
#

Yea it won't be reliable

#

But it has the opportunity to be useful every now and again

theres people who literally didnt get an item in 20 coins

hes looking for something that tells him the % hell get loot based on how many rolls hes used

chilly brook

Which doesn't exist

left hatch
#

but afaik the badluck protection on that is jsut superstition

sick sentinel
#

Everyone knows if you buy wow tokens you get more loot

left hatch
#

like people that "get the bad rolls out" before rolling on something for real

sick sentinel
#

So get out your wallet if you want BLP

left hatch
#

last thing that had BLP was legion legos i think

strong forum
#

the only thing that remotely comes to BLP is, if you get loot somewhere in the raid, chances decrease in getting another item, but theres no statistic on that afaik

orchid frigate
#

can coin on wrath for increasing chance on skitra shoulders i guess

last mason
#

It’s true, buy and sel wow tokens so you can buy shield

orchid frigate

but if i get something on wrath then...?

strong forum

its purely rng

like the only superstition i have is

when i coin on the wrong boss

yes there is some bad luck protection

and i get AP, im not mad cuz i think the coin wouldnt've given me loot anyway

Is there not? There was a bonus roll BLP introduced back in WoD and there's never been something that said it wasn't a thing anymore.

strong forum
#

nothing suggests that there is BLP

warm plinth
#

e.g. the more times you roll and don't receive an item, the higher the chance that you'll receive an item the next time you bonus roll.

idr that

i just remember them making the reward slightly less paltry

when you lose

i just simply wouldnt roll on bosses where i wouldnt want loot from

To be clear at no point is vers better than haste. There is a point, however, where you may move vers higher up the priority just for the flat DR

It’s not just for that tho, you just asked what could one shot you

I provided a single example

strong forum
#

It's for unavoidable dmg

#

And again, pins for explanation

sick sentinel
#

Also, when you get to that level, there is little room for mistakes. Perhaps the largest reason people run vers builds is to provide themselves with a little cushion

Naowh summed it up perfectly in his write up

I have read the pins. But detailed situations are not explained

steep bone
#

that UI

full monolith
#

Ye guess it is more of a safety thing. Like he states in one sentence. Thanks guys

sick sentinel
#

Because realistically there isn’t a need for detailed situations. The situation is that as you get to that level the amount of unavoidable damage you take becomes much higher and vers helps to smooth that out

It's always very easy to tell if someone is playing on a small screen, the UI covers a shitton

on small screen with such ui i wouldn't see a thing

You don't make your UI smaller for small screens, you don't see your buttons then

small buttons feels like this is all

What's the point of it

true but when i played on 15" i just used bartender without blizz art and stacked bars and have very minimalistic stuff

Dragonscale/rezan/vita/block

wanton elk

butcher's block?

strong forum
#

Nzoth is only kind of useful for high keys, or when you're not as adept to cover mistakes / gaps

#

Ye

wanton elk
#

for damage?

strong forum
#

Well and parry

#

Crit grants parry

wanton elk
#

ahhh gotcha

strong forum
#

And as most dmg in m+ is melee, having additional parry is insanely good midigation

wanton elk
#

i'll replace my xanesh trinket with that then in the meantime

limpid pawn
#

Nzoth trinket is absolute tits for when you’re in awakened pillars

#

It counts as being in nyalotha in there

left hatch
#

the awakend pillars count as 'in raid'

#

so its huge value

#

if you need it

wanton elk
#

oh wow

#

yea i'm def getting that

limpid pawn
#

Yes, so for hero buster, it’s like an immunity

wanton elk
#

hero buster is fucking hard

limpid pawn
#

For spider/fear boss it’s like an immunity to those bleeds

exotic spoke
#

Just dwarf those

#

😄

limpid pawn
#

It gives huge huge value

upper violet
#

yeah its pretty good if the healer cant heal u properly while in those

limpid pawn
#

It allows so much room for error

left hatch
#

on higher keys ppl have been breaking out Urchin again

#

but thats not till like midrange 20's

limpid pawn
#

With high versa build yeah

exotic spoke
#

I mean, its not about the healer not being able to heal you David. It gets to a point where you just need a defensive or to kite. I'd rather defensive and stay in and get more dps

limpid pawn
#

Exactly

#

I like giga aoe dpsing those little shits

exotic spoke
#

for every single hero buster attack

wanton elk
#

i'm at 24% versatility atm, need to get more

limpid pawn
#

And making my healers life easier

exotic spoke
#

And for the fear - my experiences are going to be different than most people. Dwarf is OP OP

left hatch
#

%'s don't matter

limpid pawn
#

But alliance is ftl

left hatch
#

and unless you're doing like 25's

#

you don't need more

limpid pawn
#

I’m doing 28s only

exotic spoke
#

Nah brollik. We're qtpies

wanton elk
#

nah i'm tanking 16-17s at most

#

i'm not comfortable enough to tank higher than that

left hatch
#

yah.... your statline is Ilvl>Haste>Crit

#

versa is worse defensively for you

wanton elk
#

so should i actually put on my crit corruptions?

limpid pawn
#

You wanna stack twilight dev

left hatch
#

you want TD with Expedient or IT1 as a filler

limpid pawn
#

No, twilight dev 100% and yes expedient/IT

wanton elk
#

i've got a 445 belt with TD2

#

got nzoth ring socketed with IT1

limpid pawn
#

There we go

#

Try and get more TD to fill up

left hatch
#

already better than versa amps at that level

wanton elk
#

and an expedient 3 on mechagon crit ring

#

do i replace my versatility sockets with haste ones?

limpid pawn
#

If you have echoes, buy td3

left hatch
#

yes

limpid pawn
#

Yes 100%

wanton elk
#

i spent them all on severe 3 last rotation unfortunately

limpid pawn
#

Haste makes td proc more and is both offensive and defensively good

left hatch
#

point for point versa is a worse stat defensively than haste or crit till you get to a point you absolutely need it

#

to survive 1 shots despite perfect play

#

it builds up hella slow compared to the benefits of haste and parry

wanton elk
#

makes sense

#

and so i assume i enchant my weapon & rings for haste as well then?

left hatch
#

force multiplier on weapon

#

but yeh haste on rings

wanton elk
#

alright

#

guess i can use some fury pieces for my tank spec then lol

#

also i assume wrathion weapon 445 socketed > wrathion weapon 460 no socket?

#

purified

left hatch
#

nope

#

ilvl is better on wep and shield by a long shot

wanton elk
#

alright

#

gonna try and get ilgynoth's shield and wrathion's weapon

wanton elk

nah not talking about the corruption, just stats wise

i purified that one

For vers stacking its better then vexs

10ilvl higher

@modern brook excuse me don't bash my new server

so carapace off hand and vex/wrath main hand then?

If shields webt 485

wanton elk

yeah i got that totally wrong

Cara weapon is just gonna be better period though because of the 10ilvl regardless of secindaries

wanton elk

ok thank you all

gonna go try n loot those

cosmic coral
#

hes 1997 io yep sounds right

limpid pawn
#

who here uses the mechagon rings

#

i have these, i assume using them would be better than two 475 rings

cosmic coral
#

i wanna say thats better than 2 475s cuz more stats the better and 10 ilvl in a ring isnt a huge diff but a 189 consistent proc is

limpid pawn
#

yeah thats what i thought too, so the 3 different spells/abilities

#

what exactly counts for that?

cosmic coral
#

tclap shield slam and revenge

like thunderclap - does this count?

Keep those then

limpid pawn
#

seems like i would be losing 1 BoM or something but maybe gaining 3 HoD

strong forum

I'd argue what you have right now is better than nzoth + carapace

#

Also losing 1 bom is a nono

#

Bom > hod

limpid pawn
#

yeah that's what i thought

#

shit i want BoM x 3 and HoD x 3

#

why can't they do that for us

#

all the while wearing like 490 azerites

strong forum

Atleast defensively, cuz you have 3x IV 3x OP 3x Bom 2x Hod 1x dc

#

Doesn't get much better than that defensively

limpid pawn

yeah, those azerites i have now are so amazing i feel bad getting rid of any- but 10 ilevel seems good

But 3 IV is 📈

pretty much 'most' tanks pushing rn are playing conflict major with full vers%, is that because theyre missing a rank 3 surging to make lucid viable? or is the vers%+conflict combo just much greater than a lucid with 4 vers%+surging

does it make most sense to do 3rd ob after 3rd boss in TD take it to final stairs? aggro both groups and blow up with that?

inland bolt

if im understanding correctly, the surging only loses value if youre running conflict major? but if youre playing lucid major you want to have a surging rank 3 after 4vers% amps?

figure it'd be easier to los if i attempted that

strong forum
#

About TD im not an expert on the route for pushing, have only done like 2-3 keys total this season

inland bolt
#

@sick sentinel whatever works for your group, i think the 'standard' strat it just to aggro the dude so he follows you and you pull up the stairs, before you run past the two casters you double cc them, and you pull the 2 pack at the stairs down. you line up the 3 dudes on the 2 caster chicks then vortex+shoot

@wanton elk DC if its your first trait

warm plinth
#

Vers% + C&S is very consistent damage reduction

#

vs surging having ~50% uptime

heart of darkness otherwise?

1x DC > hod

#

Yes

#

Only the first DC is value

wanton elk
#

alright

warm plinth
#

That's a guess though; I'm not one of those top key pushers. It makes sense though.

It's cuz you get 1k+ vers from just running cns as major

#

i stacked bastion of might/deafening crash but i'm thinking i'll switch the traits up since aggro isn't an issue unless a fire mage combusts on the opener

Literally just vers major

#

Is 1k vers

#

Then the minor ontop is another 1k

#

Almost

#

If you have 7 vers3 that's almost 100% more vers

#

You get around 450 baseline from cns

#

Then the major gives you another 450 ontop of that baseline

warm plinth
#

Yeah I just figured if you're pushing at that level you can't afford to have RNG in your survival

strong forum
#

Ye that too

warm plinth
#

So surging wouldn't be as good

strong forum
#

I mean it's still 50% uptime on a 1.6k+ vers proc

#

Not bad by any means

inland bolt
#

running that conflict major + vers% build

warm plinth
#

No it's not bad. Just not consistent, even at 50% uptime

#

im seeing naowh run urchin + alchemist stone (unlike 99% of warriors in the game running vita+nzoth trinket with the vers% build)

strong forum
#

He's literally going all out for that vers huh...

#

Ideally want the vers + Str proc trinket from pvp

inland bolt
#

yeah

strong forum
#

But urchin idk....

inland bolt
#

with conflict major and both those trinkets he's literally got no buttons to press

strong forum
#

I have 450+s

#

Not really feeling the urchin

inland bolt
#

it kinda makes sense in KR, but I can't really think of another key where the on-use nzoth trinket isnt strong

#

and in KR you'd just run nzoth+urchin
