Thank you

oof

#

I think we can start organising Skyhold EU weekly no leavers stuff now

#

NA guys already have it

grim hornet
#

so how much Haste should I aim for?

#

I'm at 31% without into the fray

icy harness
#

Wth is weekly no leavers

still pagoda
#

There is no "enough" haste

#

I'm at 31% without into the fray
@grim hornet

That's extremely low

sweet hearth
#

what's a respectable amount of haste?

icy harness
#

wat

#

I have 32% haste with no into the fray

#

ive got haste on every piece but 1

sweet hearth
#

im at 31% too

icy harness
#

how is it extremely low

sweet summit
#

@still pagoda im in

icy harness
#

if ros is in

still pagoda
#

I'm sitting at 40% with food and no ItF stacks

😳

#

I cna heal now

#

I just found a helm in my bags with a vers trait. Would it be worth to drop 15 ilvls on helm to use this in a vers set? With 7 amps the 360 vers = 660 vers

still pagoda
#

The worst healer on Kazzak

neon yoke
icy harness
#

depends on what helm you have, but id definitely say no

sweet summit
#

You can only get that at 460 tho

neon yoke
#

ye, I have it in 460. I would have to drop 15 ilvls

#

as I said

sweet summit
#

Im not sure if its worth dropping 15 ilvls on head for that

#

I can play boomkin or brm/ww monk

#

Very scuffed

icy harness
#

😮

#

boomkin

neon yoke
icy harness
#

whats the bottom 2 traits

neon yoke
icy harness
#

its not that bad

sweet summit
#

Thats good wdym

still pagoda
#

That 480 is good

icy harness
#

yeah

still pagoda
distant crystal
#

i mean if it has bastion

icy harness
sweet hearth
#

im running iron fortress atm and seems decent

distant crystal
#

it's automatically p damn good

neon yoke
#

I don't mean it's bad, but it's not the very best

icy harness
#

the other one's not the very best either

still pagoda
#

Iron Fortress and Brace for Impact are great if you don't have 475 shield

neon yoke
#

yea, that's why I'm asking, I was unsure how muc hthe vers was worth

icy harness
#

that's about 4-5% vers

sweet hearth
#

if you aren't doing 25's, vers isn't very important

neon yoke
#

getting 660 vers that you usually can't have seems good :p

sweet summit
#

Yes but is it worth dropping a lot of stam/armor/str for?

neon yoke
#

That I've understood. This is just a vers set in the making since I didn't need any other corruptions

still pagoda
#

If you aren't doing 25's, vers is barely worth it

#

mecha shield succccccccccccccc

pastel sleet
#

thats what i thought but the socket makes the stats only like -40

still pagoda
#

Mecha shield is literalgarbage

sweet summit
#

Yep

muted forge
#

hey i currently use 465(socket)/475 haste trinkets, i got the nzoth trrink thats straight defense, but its 445(socket) would the haste be better?

#

humming black + rezans eye

pastel sleet
#

so the shield effect is worse than 17 haste and 7 mastery?

sweet summit
#

Yes it is xd

pastel sleet
#

holy shit

#

wow

still pagoda
#

It's affix is literally PoE's Voidforge level

sweet summit
#

@muted forge if you need the defensive trinket, sure use it. Im not gonna stop you. And if you so do, id replace rezan and use scale+shell

still pagoda
#

RIP ele convert 2H melee builds

icy harness
muted forge
#

thanks rosjen, i wasnt sure if the haste was better for defense

sweet summit
#

Depends

dire gull
#

does vers scale with ip?

sweet summit
#

Nzoth is good if you need it. If you dont youll get more value from haste trinkets

#

Yes it does drobel

marble cipher
#

Should I stick with the Mecha combo, or go for the ilvl ring?

still pagoda
#

That mecha combo you have is really spicy

#

And outweighs everything

marble cipher
#

I thought so yeah

left hatch
#

yeh mecha combo is worth a stupid amount of ilvl

#

and with one of them already being 475 id never take them off ever

#

even in SL

#

long live the haste

still pagoda
#

Next patch: Mechagon ring combo is now a legacy item

sweet hearth
#

what's that addon that shows stats to %?

How longs the ICD on mech ring combo

left hatch
#

i wanna say its less than the duration, because ppl using it have like 90+% uptime

sick sentinel
#

should i go for the nyalotha raid essence?

left hatch
#

if you care about raiding yeh

#

very stronk there

sick sentinel

i have like, almost enough to make it on my hunter, but i gave up on him :S

its a 15 second debuff

excuse me @exotic spoke ?

what's the best race for prot warrior?

sweet hearth

vulpera hearthstone ^-^ bis for every class

warm plinth
#

@vocal skiff Yes, but that's not super common

vocal skiff
#

I mean, Resto Druids use it

#

Maybe Disc? idk

fading obsidian
#

are the weapons with dmg procs from wcm or junkyard worth losing the stats or should i aim for something like the haste/vers from atal? (don't raid)

vocal skiff
#

ilvl is king for weapons

#

but if it's the same ilvl

#

go for stats

fading obsidian
#

aight thx šŸ™‚

warm plinth
#

Resto druids use formless major mostly I would think

#

to steal iris

#

Guess it depends on comp though

#

Since if you do like mage/hunter/rogue, they wouldn't have anything worth stealing

sick sentinel
#

I like my tauren, but i want them to fix armor

#

just make the boots go over hoof, change model

#

(someone asked about race)

halcyon pasture
#

Hi guys. My guild and I killed M wrathion on the weekend. I was having problems with threat, the other tank is about 15 average ilvl more than me and he was getting agro occasionally after I taunted. Any tips? I think Storm bolt used to make extra threat on bosses, is this still the case, BC this could be the solution.

mortal brook
#

have any logs?

oblique garnet
#

Ok for starters you have 90 casts of devastate 3 casts of avatar

#

And 40 odd casts of thunderclap + ss

#

Also dont play dragon roar

halcyon pasture
#

I changed to DR about the 8th pull for burst threat

oblique garnet
#

Also crucible major is better than anima

modern brook
#

melee attacks should be outdamaging shield slam and especially not Tclap

#

how'd you let that happen

main vault
#

90 Devastates

mortal brook
main vault
#

Cant keep threat if you dont do damage

modern brook
main vault
#

hitting the boss with a floppy dick wont keep threat against someone playing better

mortal brook
#

a better rotation feeds anger management, which is better avatar uptime, which feeds a better rotation

modern brook
#

check out the icy veins guide if you need more information

mortal brook
modern brook
#

I shouldnt laugh but i did sorry :^(

mortal brook
#

OH, fight positioning

main vault
#

Like more Devastates than both SS and TC combined is just asking for threat trouble

halcyon pasture
#

I think it was to remove tge debuff

mortal brook
#

@halcyon pasture for fight positioning, you want to stay still to drop your slow stacks and minimize movement. just a quality of life thing

#

then you wont need to blow avatar on your slow stacks

#

your stacks will just drop during the tanking cycle, since neither tank has to move

halcyon pasture
#

How do u view the time line in logs?

mortal brook
main vault
#

Fixing that and casts should set you up well

#

Like, this is your threat problem

#

Nothing else

mortal brook
#

(minus natural downtime of the fight)

#

but def put devastate in a less prominent position, hit a training dummy until you're out of the habit of pressing it when better things are up

main vault
#

but am I reading this right, 10min Wrathion?

mortal brook
#

until you hate having to press the button cuz you know its not shield slam or thunderclap or any other Anger Management button

main vault
#

Training dummy with definitely help

sick sentinel
#

Hate devastate

#

Ugly button

#

Bind it to U

We are failing our tradition

Friday needs to happen this week

sick sentinel
#

I know I had to go out of town this weekend, I’ll be in town this weekend though so friday is a go for me

warm plinth
#

If someone is missing this Friday we will have to replace them with another Skyhold boi

sick sentinel
#

We need to build a rotation. I’m sure people will be knocking on the door to participate 🤣

warm plinth
#

Oh for sure

oblique garnet
merry spoke
#

How good is ineffable truth? im at 49% haste with 5 stacks of into the fray

icy harness
#

Get 2

#

Not IT2

#

But IT1x2

merry spoke
#

That just passed 😦

#

Should I just get Vers corruption instead?

icy harness
#

Yeah

#

I mean

main vault
#

Good thing corruptions are like a Jeffrey

icy harness
#

If you don't need it, don't get it

main vault
#

Just when you think they are gone, they come right back!

icy harness
#

I hate people who are called Geoffrey

#

Wtf is that spelling

main vault
#

oh I spelled it wrong

merry spoke
#

Im only at 1207 vers right now

#

And thats With 2 Vers 3's

main vault
#

Well

#

vers 3 wont do shit without base vers

icy harness
#

Why are you stacking vers corruption

#

If you have no vers

main vault
#

24% of fuck all is still fuck all

left hatch
#

vers also doesn't matter whatsoever

#

if you're not doing like 24's

icy harness
#

Yep

#

@sweet hearth stole my shield

#

I would've had haste on every piece

merry spoke
#

Ah ok, thank you

rocky garnet
#

In low keys (21s) do you guys think haste verse rings or mechagon if then?

#

With haste

left hatch
#

the mechagon combo

#

more stats>better stats

rocky garnet
#

Good to know thanks!

#

I also have a few expedients just cause I play arms a bit too so I’m sure that’ll give more value

left hatch
#

at the level yo'ure at expedient is better than versatile corruptions anyway

rocky garnet
#

Yeah that’s what I was reading

#

I mainly just struggle cause prot is so different than vengeance it feels

left hatch
#

ppl get confused about IP

#

thinking its active mitigation on par with SB

rocky garnet
#

Yeah right

left hatch
#

(which isn't helped by idiot healers telling ppl that "IP TIME NEEDS TO BE BETTER")

#

or ppl looking at HPS meters and thinking its a good metric of tankyness for us

rocky garnet
#

My dh literally doesn’t die on any pull but having Aggro issues isn’t fun and I’m tired of it so I’m working on prot

left hatch
#

other holdups for new prots is treating Avatar and Demo Shout as like cd's

#

when they really are closer to being part of your core rotation

#

esp demo shout

rocky garnet
#

Yeah for sure

left hatch
#

i really like vengeace too tho

rocky garnet
#

I’m working on it yet

left hatch
#

esp having the leap off the gcd

rocky garnet
#

With double slappers it doesn’t feel too bad with Aggro

left hatch
#

i ended up not using my double slappers

rocky garnet
#

But then you lose td2 worth if td and it’s like eh

left hatch
#

it wanted me to use 6TD

rocky garnet
#

Yeah just depends on comp for me

left hatch
#

for my group i just tell ppl to chill for 1/2 globals

rocky garnet
#

I pulled 87k in my waycrest the other week

#

Yeah exactly

left hatch
#

usally a sigil+soul cleave is enough to grab threat

rocky garnet
#

If I’m pugging it’s so aids tho

left hatch
#

leap sigil + hard cast sigil that is

oblique garnet
#

Wouldnt double slappers be better overall than td6

left hatch
#

youd think

oblique garnet
#

Considering its more consistent damage

left hatch
#

but nah they're a massive loss

#

at least sim wise

rocky garnet
#

I love the fact that you can not rely on healers or kicks and still live really difficult pulls

#

Oh yeah in practice too

#

It’s like a solid 20k loss overall depending on dungeon

left hatch
#

and in strictly st it wants me to go all in on EV

#

(for like shad and shit)

oblique garnet
#

Not true at all

#

Ev in reality is awful and td will perform better even with bad procs

left hatch
#

yeh im just saying what the sims tell me

#

im too lazy to swap

rocky garnet
#

You go slappers reliable for Aggro and td for damage which is so strange but it’s a significant difference both ways

oblique garnet
#

Even with full td stack i doubt veng dh dps would be enough to compete with warriorsšŸ¤”

rocky garnet
#

And I agree from my experience Ev is bad

#

Oh no it won’t

left hatch
#

its def not

#

just a lot more forgiving in terms of staying alive

rocky garnet
#

My warrior, with a td1, pulls 50-60 depending on the dungeon

#

If he had td3 or higher it wouldnt even be close

rocky garnet
#

And my dh is perfectly geared like bis in every slot

#

Yeah I mean that’s an outlier because you’re buffing td with essences

#

And dh stacks td harder

left hatch
#

ehhh

oblique garnet
#

Im doing around 90-110k in most keys

left hatch
#

they stack it just as hard as warrior

#

warrior goes full TD until they need the versa to live same as DH

oblique garnet
#

In jy highest i got on 23 was 135k

rocky garnet
#

By that I mean

oblique garnet
#

With td5

left hatch
#

and they hit that point around the same point

#

level*

rocky garnet
#

In higher keys they stack it higher

#

Cause we still run a high amount of td in the super high keys thatve been done

#

And that’s nuts @oblique garnet

oblique garnet
#

šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļøi just proc alot

left hatch
#

pull big, proc during every meta proc from VoP

#

profit

oblique garnet
#

Use rally on cd for bigger td procs yep

#

(This is a joke not an actual advise)

left hatch
#

the real advise is to use LS on cd

#

for the same reason

#

and keep SBing to not lose SS damage

#

(:

#

(do'nt do that)

rocky garnet
#

Do you guys think for my level keys I should just run vop major?

oblique garnet
#

Whats that?

left hatch
#

lucid has value in 21s

#

just need to play around it

#

and its a lot more fun

rocky garnet
#

I am running double IT1 if that changes anything

#

Yeah I’ve played around with it and have dps I play with telling me dumb shit

#

Like how lucid wasnr viable or as good I was like hm

modern brook
#

Straight up

#

never listen to ur dps

left hatch
#

nah its the best major

#

if you play around it

modern brook
#

they have 3 braincells across all of them

oblique garnet
#

Its best major if you are not stacking vers amps

rocky garnet
#

But I like being able to self sustain a little more

left hatch
#

(even with full versa amps i still see it in some world first keys)

rocky garnet
#

Yeah I’m not cause only in the low 20 range atm

oblique garnet
#

P sure naowh played conflict major in all keys

left hatch
#

(naowh and nerf swap back and forth between it and cns depending on the dungeon)

#

as of earlier in the week he still had some with lucid

#

in his vods for world firsts

rocky garnet
#

The main struggle I have is spell cast pulls on my war

oblique garnet
#

I can see it being a play for last 2 bosses in ml

left hatch
#

mighta changed or from previous push weeks

rocky garnet
#

Like my dh literally just can face tank it and pull 200k hps and be fine but my war flops if two casts go off it seems

left hatch
#

eh, no essence is gonna save you from bad interrupts

modern brook
#

^

rocky garnet
#

So we just in general are more scared of caster packs

modern brook
left hatch
#

no corruption combo either

rocky garnet
#

Hahahaha

modern brook
#

900% of the time u die its cause they didnt do their job

oblique garnet
#

Be your own dps tank and healer and get 30% baseline leech

left hatch
#

you have a lot of tools to deal with it tho, 2 stuns, sr and pummel, a fear

warm plinth
#

He used Lucid in his 27 KR I think

modern brook
#

but they'll blame u and you'll come to us asking how to play better

#

its a cycle ive seen millions of times

warm plinth
#

And the best talent the world has ever known

rocky garnet
#

I need to watch that KR

warm plinth
#

Well, 2nd best. Ravager is the best talent

oblique garnet
#

I need just one more item to get to 30% baseline leech TargetSighted

rocky garnet
#

That’s retarded lmfao

warm plinth
#

What is

rocky garnet
#

Having that much leech

left hatch
#

if only leech wored with TD

#

feelsbad

rocky garnet
#

I bet it’s nice on a class that has actual@damaging abilities

limpid pawn
#

how much leech is that late?

modern brook
#

leech is 48-1%

oblique garnet
#

Like as stats?

rocky garnet
#

Look at my dmg break down on dh, 86% from td

main vault
#

40

warm plinth
#

DH are the BM hunter of tanks

modern brook
#

I was close

warm plinth
#

90% of your damage is not done by you

rocky garnet
#

You’re not wrong

#

You should watch me play

main vault
#

so 30% is 1200

rocky garnet
#

I press like 3 buttons

#

And solo tank mythic shadhar

warm plinth
#

My tank is a VDH so I see it by proxy

oblique garnet
#

@left hatch wdym it doesnt work off td?

warm plinth
#

The tank in my M+ group that is

main vault
#

Leech works on TD

oblique garnet
#

^

main vault
#

Its basically a full heal each proc

#

Its disgusting

rocky garnet
#

I have a like 150k hps parse on shad hahaha

#

Oh I didn’t know that legit damn

main vault
#

Even just ST, on a 750k tank TD6 is like 81k heal

#

@ 30%

#

Think my math is right

#

Each proc would be 10.8% hp

oblique garnet
#

In st yes

main vault
#

yeah

#

x's # of T

#

so

#

at cap, you overheal

oblique garnet
#

But in m+ when the proc hits multiple deswind

main vault
#

Well

#

Its 50% to 6-10 right

warm plinth
#

It falls off but yeah it might as well be a full heal

oblique garnet
#

Prett much

warm plinth
#

Not like you're gonna be giga-low as a prot war anyway

main vault
#

607.5k at 10T on 750k

warm plinth
main vault
#

I think

warm plinth
#

I'm starting to feel like I do damage on my war now. Still need more TD though

#

I only have two 😢

oblique garnet
#

I just need someone to trade me wrathion trinket with leech and vita with leech

main vault
#

And, that’s only the TD

#

Plus other abilities

oblique garnet
#

Maybe ill even buy boe shield with leech

warm plinth
#

Oh is that all Late?

oblique garnet
#

Yeah i got 485 slapper from carapace with leech yep

I'm assuming you use the trinkets for another spec?

icy harness
#

#

otherwise would have haste gems in there

#

well, I guess i dont use the dragonscale anymore

warm plinth

Looks fine. What level of keys are you doing, out of curiosity?

icy harness

so i could put a haste gem there

#

just an alt

#

that i started recently

#

that's why i'm stacking haste

warm plinth

I'd probably drop aegis and pick up lucid

if you have it

icy harness

don't have it sadly

i don't think it'd be worth

About Lucid major, what's the deal with changing your play around this? Time big (hard) pulls around lucid+avatar? Or is it more specific then that?
I mainly play with VoP major, up to 18 keys, but want to learn lucid as I read it's probably more important the higher you go right?

#

(and spam rage spenders during the window obviously)

sweet summit
#

Doesnt change much, other than spamming the fuck out of IP and revenge here and there

ionic fern
#

So..
Lucid provides you with
1)Leech
2)100% increased rage from abilities

This means that during the 15 second Lucid window every 2 minutes you will be pretty much unkillable on most key levels due to the absurd amount of rage you gain which in turn leads to Ignore Pain spamming.
Furthermore this also reduces the CD's of everything tied to AM - hence the "40s of straight Avatar".
In general you SHOULD try to optimize your pulls around this cooldown as it frees up your healer to do other things like CC/DPS etc and it also lines up with DPS classes CD's like Combust.
You do not want to hold onto it for too long tho since then you risk the possibility of losing a cast over the course of the dungeon - it's a pretty case by case situation.

marble cipher
#

Makes sense, thanks!

#

And with lucid major, what are the minors? C&S is a sure pick obviously, but do you still take VoP ?

wanton meadow
#

I should use trinket when i use it i take 1097 versa + socket versa and 546 str 445 item level or trinket whit 215 mastery and 96 elusione when i use it i take 2733 str 440 item level ????

hallow phoenix
#

@marble cipher Yes still take VoP minor. When I lucid major I take cns, vop, sphere, sotw minors

marble cipher
#

yeah, was thinking something along those lines, just didn't know if vop was still the play

#

thanks, I'll have some runs with that setup and try to get used to lucid playstyle, it's been intriguing me for a while

#

(and sotw only if you need the resistance I guess?)

hallow phoenix
#

yes only for the 10 resistance

#

new tank here, do i want to have ignore pain and shield block up a the same time or use them alternately?

still pagoda
#

neither of these

#

you keep up SB when you have anything to block

#

and use IP to dump excessive rage into CDR

sweet summit
#

You keep up shield block and spend extra rage on ignore pain

#

Some spesific boss encounters you dont use shield block at all.
Skitra/rixxa/razdunk/zul/phase 1 king mechagon.

#

But if you fight an obelisk with razdunk/king mechagon you want to use shield block ofc

mental needle
#

ok, so i try to have shield block uptime as much as possible and ignore pain with excess rage. if i dont have shield block up because of cd, do you use shield wall or last stand in the meantime? or do you use those cds just as a "oh shit" button or if you know certain abilites are gonna hit big like wrathion breath etc?

sweet summit
#

Yes, use last stand to fill shield block downtime

#

And no you dont have an ohshit button, prot warr is proactive

#

If you know youre about to take a lot of damage use shield wall before the hit

For versatile "build", do you wanna get haste/vers items, or is crit/vers also decent if it's the only 475 item you have for that slot?

modern brook
#

Ideally haste verse

sweet hearth
#

The best way to do that @scenic crow would be to make a weakaura that triggers on getting the spell reflect buff

modern brook
#

for obvious reasons

marble cipher
#

modern brook
#

ilvl>everything always though

#

Its sort of a weird question because stacking versatile III really wants high base versatility, so it can be worth dropping 5-10 ilvls to get better 2ndaries - but when you begin doing that you usually have such a range of equipment options its a non-issue

Whatever you're most comfortable with

Just make sure to go down as soon as you can and don't spend more than 3 per row

Get elite extermination and gift of the titans as soon as you can

but all guides say in the second row go the thing on the right that gives more sanity and then go straight down

you say its better to skill all left?

For solo play left side is way better imo

#

Cuz you have that safety net if you fuck up with a self res

Right side offers nothing for solo play except that small amount of sanity

Right side was only better on release

#

When people were much much lower gear

I did

I wouldn’t take cheat death before I got gift anyways

I rushed for gift of the titans and it was more than fine without cheat death, just need to be a little bit more careful

Do any of you guys ever suffer aggro issues on adds in Ra'den mythic? Last night we had horrific issues with firemage pulling the adds from the tanks from ignite spread which feels really wrong

Sure, but traits after gift are so little impact it doesn’t matter

steep bone

cheat death is quite big i'd say

As a tank?

#

It would definitely be a lot more impactful before you get EE and Gift

#

So I could see rushing it at the beginning

I can’t even remember the last time I procced it on any toon

I member going 5mask first time and getting rekt by rexxar, that was one time cheat death would be good

I would gear based on the level of keys you plan to be doing. Vers isn’t needed until you’re well into the 20s. If you’re never going to get there, then just go for TD.

Frankly fire mage just isn't that good in 15s, especially since most of them are running the lucid build. Mobs die too fast (especially on tyr weeks) to take advantage of combust, tanks don't pull around it in PUGs, and you do jack shit between combusts

it can be good

if you pull like a champ

Well, it depends on whether your tank is going to pull around it and what spec you're running

#

Minute mage can have more success on lower keys because you have combust more often

i pull around fire mage in keys higher than +18

and prefer to kick fire out of the group in keys lower before the key starts

better off without inting DPS that won't be able to build up combust on trash that dies really fast

Uh cleanse and use TD?

ivory topaz

Cleanse it and use TD or ineffable. Vers amp if you are in the 20+ key range

chilly brook
#

Even then 20-25 is highly dependent on if you're making mistakes or not

leaden charm
#

alright cheers

ivory topaz
#

Most people do. I dont think vers amp is as 'impractical' as people make it sound sub 25

#

But I also wouldnt use it below 20

#

TD is always good so that's the safest bet

chilly brook
#

Hence why I said it's highly dependent

leaden charm
#

best to go for a IT rank 1 over a rank 2 correct?

analog swift

yeah

#

only go verse if your pull size is completely limited by your defensive capabilities

then i just missed that rotation XD cause i didnt think i'd need it XD

i mean

two rank 1s you can get in one week

wouldn't be awful to get 1 rank 2 in the meantime

TD x many as you can IT(1)x2 and haste is what i heard
