Did you not have LastStand/Shieldwall?
nah
Mimd 100% not on wow atm
had to use, pepega healer
Happens
then i went to the left behind house where's patrol and 2 packs
After which boss are we talking?
popped lightfoot and wanted to run them back so casters gonna stack, but ended up as sitting in the middle and eating casts, balacing on 10-30% hp all the time
second
in fh
first i did red then boss then blue
i had that planned in my head but forgot i actually used all cds
Well you can always bring the non-caster packs to the casters. That way you dont need to rely on other people using kicks to get casters to move
Only patroll has casters
wait what
Pepe shaped pulls

Ah, then i misunderstood ^^
actually had dh breaking 700k there
fel barrage ftw
actually i dunno if its better to go for that blue pack
or other side and go through bridge
Personally wouldnt pull those three together. If i wanted to play those three packs, i would pull the most leftern pack into ludwig/boss and then do the patrol with the right pack
But there's 100 ways of doing it!
You can pull them with crusher!
i refuse to pull stuff with crusher
pugs arent paying attention to his stomps
at some point i also thought about doing this pull
but that could have been overkill
It depends on your key level honestly
was just 17
Pugs will for sure die in that pull
Chances are premades will too
A lot of harpooners
But planning routes for pugs contra planning for premade is so different
done similar thing in last season
@ionic fern thanks for the thorough answer... Just woke up.
I do have max vers on almost every single item already (I'm at 20% unbuffed, no corruptions) so that's a good point
I'll run some keys and reflect back on whether more damage or being more tanky would improve my winrate. I'm sure it's TD right now, but then I'd be short on echoes to get vers3.... I'll think about it. Thanks
but they were like 'ok dude combust crusher and don't die'
how do people three chest that key
To be honest, for a +17 PUG you can literally play 1 pack at a time
i feel so lame doing one pack at a time in fh
The pulls are limited by harpooners and brinscales
Not in PUGs usually
People underestimate the DPS a SOLID player will put compared to what you usually see in PuG's.
like this week it'd be either blob&spider or fear guy&spider
No, mostly only spider
You cant do blob with boss there
Unless you blow it up instantly
yeah
Cuz you have very little space to work with
and fear guy can fear someone to africa
Well depends, we've done it once accidently in a 20
im just doing spider with boss, but was curious if ppl are doing that
Spider + fear boi on last boss
i tend to forget about that pillar in the middle
Ya same
but either way we still two chested it, and ppl actually gz my pulls so i was 
It seems like your goal is to blast +2/3 these keys. But you're playing with PUGs. You could plan the most efficient route in the world but they wouldn't be able to pull it off. You seem to enjoy planning a route, I really think you should play with some premades so you can do nice pulls
Finding premades with the same schedule as you have is a nightmare. π¦
True. But getting like a network of people, so you can check who's online when you wanna play. Not neccessarily a team
Smh
Meanwhile the +21 i did yesterday
I wanted to edit out the names but.,..russians..saved me 10 seconds of my life.
I cant remember the last time i actually properly PUGed
Ouch
What key was this?
UR?
WM
spriest UwU
Mwahi are you EU or NA?
Eu
Jeah, it was yesterday
π
I mean, it wasn't that bad. I wasn't paying attention to the DPS until the key actually ended and then i saw that. π¦
And i even tried to help the Spriest by chainpulling all the time.
A bit difference on our DPS contra your pug DPS hah
Just for fun I'd want to see all 4 lol 10 affixes in mid from this expansion instead of standard, see what it might be like
Two of your DPS are competing with you π€£
actually how do you pull at tree boss
Jeah, it was sad. π
I bet they were sweating trying to not fall behind you
like doggos alone and then something together if im correct
I can show you how I pulled the 25
if uve vod id like
and is it still worth getting that miniboss directly before tree to let rogue pull it away and vanish so you dont have to do it at all?
or just pull her with something
i swear that witch hits harder than boss itself
I pulled the witch with these (Gorgers when they patrolled near the entrance)
Dont have VOD unfortunately
i doubt i'd survive that last week
The rest of the couryard was dead by the way π
how did you do corridor without pulling that one pack on the left
We just focus matron and kill her roughly at same time as the witches
Vivv, he mentioned the rest was dead
Is it possible to solo tank Carapace?
If you have enough ITs yes @fiery pollen
u had right doors ye
We had top right
You can reflect mandible slam, if you have enough luck/ITs you can reflect enough to have the debuff drop off
@strong forum how many is enough? 2 or more?
For me the worst part of waycrest has always been matron in basement,
^
And she takes extra dmg
hmm
15% dmg taken for 8 seconds when you reflect her
Just seems like when she gets pulled I got stomped
so you don't skip basement aye?
On that particular run we did
We played everything at the very bottom
But nothign at the matron level
im honestly afraid of trying new stuff, with pugs it usually ends badly so im just doing what everyone is doing
Often you wanna take the pillar in the kitchen either to matron, or onto the stairs
Do what makes sense for you. I rarely copy other peoples routes, unless I also think its the best route
and on second last boss these jumpy guys, when i pulled em all and waited in front of that balcony safe spot thingy
any way to avoid being oneshoted
as they all just jumped on me
It's a lot of damage. What comp did you have?
You can avoid it with certain abilties such as vortex, binding shot, ring of frost etc
You can also reflect shadow claw
Did you both run versa on your WCM runs?
So you get in the safe spot, just as theyre about to jump, you hunter places a binding shot
but he didnt play binding shot >.>
They'll leap and stop. Then you just tank them regularly
Ring of frost can also be used
Did you both run versa on your WCM runs?
@jolly thistle
It depends on key level. Generally, there is no reason to run vers until +23
and even then it's usually semi-vers with TD3
I ran versa on my 25. As karton said though, on a +22 i dont run versa
the main case use of vers is oneshots
mage played ofc franetic speed or w/e its called
and heavy damage spikes
that you don't encounter until +23
and don't encounter truly heavy damage that requires full vers until +25-26
Vivv, you can facetank the leaps depending on key level aswell
If you truly want to be independant
You can facetank them!
Obviously you canβt compare dps of 2 different runs, because of pull size. I was just curious if @ionic fern ran versa as well on the 21

anyone else's ElvUI bugging out when trying to configure stuff? I'm trying to mess around iwht unitframes and sometimes when I enable or disable something everything will go blank and I have to reload
Legion version of Elvui?
lol nah it's up to date
^^
Didn't realize not using binding shot as Hunter in m+ was that bad, I'll have to use it on my Hunter now
You can always Ask the tank. I appreciate the question
Sure
Skit shoulders vs Mecha shoulders for M+?
I'm leaning to Skit being slightly better
Gotcha, will keep both and use Skit on higher keys then
Anyone know the consensus on searing flames on Faralos, Empire's Dream?
its a worse TD1
Worser*
Worsterer
worsterest
werstererersauce
best way to deal with wreck, final boss ability on junk on higher keys? Save SB/SW/N'zoth trink? or is there a trick to it that i'm not thinking about
No trick just use your stuff
It can actually hurt outside of Avatar
With avatar up you should be fine with SB alone
hey guys, how important is the weapon ilvl? is it worth using 470 haste mastery over 465 crit vers?
Never even considered that ability in the past, but today it hit me for 800k twice and I realized i must've been doing something wrong
Yes by all means Pyke?!
Like, it's haste and ilvl?
Ilvl is the most important part about weapon
Secondary stats come later, just like on Shield
Ye it can catch you off guard once you break into 23+, even with blocking it actually starts to slap, so be sure use stuff for the last slap
hi nom how are you
The usual. π€ what's up
thank you for the answer, i have around 40% or so versatility corruption so i was wondering if it would be still the case
it also depends on keys you do
having max ilvl shield and weapon is really beneficial in higher keys
just as the vers question
Weapon directly translates into all your abilities and IP
And thus all your dps
It's a sacrifice that's not worth it to drop stuff for, carapace weapon is ultimately bis because of ilvl
amount of stats on weapons and shield is negligibly low anyway
Hey folks, I am having a hard time fitting VoP into my essence setup for raids, and based on my feelycraft alone, I am doing it wrong
Going for a balanced damage/surv set
drop your setup here
usually CoF/null/CnS/formless
formless and VoP are pretty much identical in power in raids
chillin
sitting outside on my laptop drinking some coffee after a nice workout/shower... always feels goood
Hey guys, im trying to gear up a Prot, which essences u guys recommend to get first?
@void marten what key levels are you doing
massive keys
The biggest
the most largeestest keys in the game
Did my first 20 on the vengy boi last week @strong forum
Really need some slappers UH DKs and havoc bois going balls to the wall dps makes me cry
I've decided that Tyrannical Kings' Rest is easier than Fortified Kings' Rest haha. The second boss still hits like a freakin truck... But it still doesn't hit as hard as Zul.
Hi all, Assuming https://www.wowhead.com/item=159625/vial-of-animated-blood&bonus=4777:1512#comments is just bad for us? Just got it in my weekly box
Bad assumption
It's a good trinket just requires careful use to get the most out of it
I still have a 460 haste one... Can't think of the name. I'll give it a try over that then!
Rezan?
Yeah
That's a really good trinket
The other one is the raid boss... That gives you 80% reduction
Mchimba's Ritual Bandages - is that just straigt for the trashbin?https://www.wowhead.com/item=159618/mchimbas-ritual-bandages&bonus=4777:1512
I use that alot for m+
yeah figured
I think I know the answer already... But whats better,465 Rezan's Gleaming Eye or 460 Void Twisted Titan Shard?
fucking weekly chest trolling me
Is 460 Void Twisted Titan Shard even good? Probably not because you only get the crit bonus while you have the shield up
@chilly brook assuming keep what I currently have then? The haste one and absorb one.

60k isn't a lot of damage. So I figured it was bad haha
Bummer! I was really hoping for the shoulders or helmet from Carapace or N'Zoth last night. But I didn't get them. I really want one of those two azerite pieces!
@green laurel depends I would personally use the vial and rezan more often than anything else
my 465 pieces I have on right now are fine... But I want one with BoM AND Thundering Crash traits on different rows so I can use my BoM on my chest and have 3 traits of BoM.
Right now, I'm sacrificing a BoM for TC.
But I wouldn't say you were wrong for using the absorb if you get the full value out of it every time its up
@green laurel
@chilly brook Cheers!
hello! quick question about 2nd boss in ML: how do i get the adds to target only me when i pull the boss? i've seen that happen just a few times but not when i was tanking. i've tried asking my group to stay in portal to taunt first but they get targeted anyway
any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated
Leave the exit portal on an add/the boss
Spam the fuck out of your thunder clap keybind as you exit
Its important that you are the only one manually exiting and that you instantly get in combat as you exit
Yo guys, what do you think about this weapon? I had 470 Carapace mace and replaced her by that weapon, is it good or I made a mistake?
Versatile nav 
Force multiplicator is better? didn't knew that, i've always seen warriors with Versatile Nav ^^
That is for vers builds
force mult will give str and verse
or haste
depending on your stat
and more stats is pretty good
okok, didn't knew , thx for the advice π
gotcha, gotcha ty
Does safeguard work against the spit on the first boss of KR?
Yes
Only if you remember to press it 
But do remember it still can be a lot of damage on higher keys
I would just think it would help with the 30% transfer for 6 seconds in the higher keys
Cuz prot takes no damage that right at all
Yes safeguard is a must on high kr tbh
I forgot to run safeguard in a 26 last week, but it went ok
We all wish we could safeguard ourselves in Zul.
Yes safeguard is a must on high kr tbh
@sweet summit
Too bad it's getting deleted in SL

Unluck
It's getting baked in intervene
I think
(I had this talk with Mwahi I think in SL channel)
but at like, 10%? or so
We take those
let me check
tooltip shows that it is not baked in
what corruption is bis for prot warrior?
TD
after that

2x IT1 as much TD as you can, then haste for keys
IT?
Ineffabe Truth
Thats to make demoshout an infinite looo?
And IT doesnt have levels, Its just IT1?
theres IT2, but its just bad
its 50% CDR for 30 corruption
when IT1 is 30% CDR for 12 corruption
you do the math
Noted.
Currently running rank 5TD and haste build. The haste is fun but TD is boring AF imo. Just giving anyone a heads up on the RNG of TD. Really wish i stacked verse instead xD
really wish corruptions didn't exist and tank damage would be balanced out normally
but
stacking haste corruptions is pretty mediocre
compared to TD in keys below +23 and semi-vers/vers builds in everything higher
Haste isnt so bad. Its nice having 10000 buttons to press all the time and when you pop Lucid Dreams its just a button mash fest and it feels great. iirc prot warr is in the top 3 buttons pressed per minute. Its a lot of fun
#1 or #2 defo ye
Fury aswell is in top 5
havoc is cheating
they just have baseline 110% haste...
U
π§’π¦

5head out here flexing massive brain wtf
Ye fury is a million buttons per minute with only 20% haste xD
yep
Haste isnt so bad. Its nice having 10000 buttons to press all the time and when you pop Lucid Dreams its just a button mash fest and it feels great. iirc prot warr is in the top 3 buttons pressed per minute. Its a lot of fun
@quiet mauve
tbh, feelycrafting <<<<<< actual gameplay
i understand that it's fun, but TD is just plain effective
and you already have enough haste to go around
i'm sitting at 37% baseline without ItF and haste amps
stacking expedient and lucid major sounds like a carpal tunnel nightmare
stacking expedient and lucid major sounds like a carpal tunnel nightmare
@amber siren
Indeed
why do you spam victory rush?
cuz im impatient
yeah sure
Press F to Ignore Pain.
I mean you can spam heroic throw by pressing F but that seems like a bad idea.
heroic leap belongs on mwheel up, you can't change my mind
no its F2 wdym
no it's F
You could also spam Last Stand by pressing F
Press F to leap into the coffin
That would be OP
im sorry if its getting asked a lot im new to discord and stuff! i started warrior fresh whats the best all around m+ main essence i should buy on rank 3?
buy CnS, Lucid and Null instead
and SotW/Formless to your liking
seems like someone pugged Mythic with our lockout between Sunday and now

This is fucked
so i buy conflict and strive first?
yeah
and put it always in the main slot?
anyone have trouble with randomly losing agro on the first boss in workshop? the one you're supposed to tank, just kept randomly running to the healer no matter hwo much threat I put on it
minor @raven knoll
Visions of Perfection in major
Your best essence for keys below 20-21 is VoP
so why dont i buy that visions thing? am i missing something?
so is conflict even worth to buy early if i only use it in minor? its a fresh char and i kinda need echoes for cloak and corruptions ect. are the essences still first prio?
yes
it is a lock-in minor anyway
due to amount of raw stats it gives
i would buy out essences and cloak res first
and then fill in with corruptions
Ur useless w/o essences anyway so just buy them first
@scarlet copper with the amount of reduced damage it takes itβs easy for the healer to pull off ya. I open with a taunt and rotation spam. Then a short heroic leap to have taunt back up. This way if the healer pulls you can taunt right away again. Once the bot takes the first hammer smash you should have enough threat.
okey thanks!
is a 460 vita or a 475 dragonscale better?
wait so for VoP i need to do mechagon dailys and stuff?
Just workshop @raven knoll
vita @cursive hedge
ok, i figured. thanks @strong forum
Why not both π€

because the nzoth trinket is way too fuckin good haha
@strong forum RIP. I got a 475 mchimba's bandages.
so so bad
@cursive hedge im sorry to bother but do i just run the dungeon over and over again? and i get it? or what am i missing
@raven knoll yes. So the first one drops from king mechagon.
then the second rank drops from king mechagon
I thought rank 2 you had to craft?
Cause if you need it on a 15-20 ur misplaying
on a minute cooldown
Haste is king
and the 4 items are dropping there too?
lets you pull bigger
Not really lol
I think there's a misconception on this discord where people are obsessed with haste and don't want to consider anything else.
@raven knoll yes. just keep killing king mechagon over and over
okeys thanks guys!
Ive been running shell as well, its just worse
@civic rover i have 2400 haste. and most of the time, im using ignore pain at full rage and full ignore pain
just for AM
i don't think nzoth trinket is bad for M+ though tbh
what's wrong with that
N'zoth trinket is good in higher keys
Thats literally the whole point tho
kek
n'zoth trinket is good in hard keys
IP isn't something that's worth worrying about, it's used almost solely for AM feeding
that might be a 14 for you or a 26 for you
it's a bonus that it has defensive value
it is a damage smoothing mechanic
IP has a cap of 1.3x the initial cast, but that's irrelevant when you have rage to spend
and in mythic raiding, it's a lifesaver for lots of bosses
it isn't
CDs are a life saver
@outer prairie thank you!
10/12 here(turbocasual)
round candies with a hole in them are life savers
IP is just a ragedump for CD's
is there an echo in here @still pagoda
is there an echo in here @still pagoda
@undone sun
Echoing Void 


no thats my brain karton
for wrathion's breaths, i use IP for the first one, nzoth trinket for the second, then shield wall for the third. makes things nice and easy on my healers
wat
3rd 
IP for the first one lol
that's just called normal play π
Wew
Class discords are almost always open to suggestions and new ways to look at the respective spec/class, but what you're offering now is a hot take
IP isn't a cd my friend
i'd argue psychic shell is probably prety useful in raids tbh, less GCDs that the healers have to spend healing me, more time they can spank the boss. they'll do more damage than whatever dps trinket i would replace it with.
Why do i even bother
meaning IP is enough. not like i only press it for that
but please correct me if i'm wrong, i've only done like 4 mythic bosses on my warrior
i'd argue psychic shell is probably prety useful in raids tbh, less GCDs that the healers have to spend healing me, more time they can spank the boss. they'll do more damage than whatever dps trinket i would replace it with.
I used LPS only on Ilgy
will probably do so on N'zoth
yeah i did first 3 and vex (tanked the add)
ive tanked 4 mythic bosses as well, so im not super deep
but the two tanks in my guild both use it on every boss and they're progging on Nzoth right now
I'm going to be honest, mythic raiding at this point in the tier is a matter of time investment rather than skill, LPS isn't a terrible trinket by any means but currently it's not at a stage where running a sub-optimal trinket is going to be a deal breaker on boss kills
no stat caps, hard or soft
yay
ilvl is good
yay
@amber siren so the optimal trinkets are dragonscale and vita?
and where does eye of rezan fall in all this?
In terms of raw dps, yeah. LPS will help fill gaps if a CD is misused or for a mistake and that's where people will point out that it's enabling poor play rather than being necessary
eye of rezan is a slightly worse version of dragonscale, I think it's worth like 5 ilvl less, so a 445 scale is better than a 450 eye
Well talking bout average haste, a 460 scale is about same haste as 475 rezan over 1min
i like it because it gives me one extra button to press. Warriors really only have shield wall as a mitigation cd
Cause we donβt need more
adding a second button to press just feels better
Well, a well placed demo shout + IP + SR
That's already a CD in itself
But if you're going by feelycraft sure go ahead
right. i get that all our normal rotational stuff is good
Cant force you not to play what you wanna play
And often it's just laziness when a 12/12 tank runs turtle setup in raid for example
Say vers stacking + defensive essences + defensive trinkets
Fuck, for VoP do I need to craft rank 2 first?
If so, I gotta farm spare parts and shit π€’
Ya, but that's not a big farm
I should've just bought rank 3 
if you have that repeatable daily unlocked you can just buy the items on the AH and chain turn them in
will get you what you need asap and it's usually not expensive
Buying parts is Hella expensive, that being said I did that twice to buy myself from R1 to R3 pp
Rip 150k
must be on a low pop server or did it a while ago. It's super cheap now where I am.. I recently did it to make an ideal yellow card
one guy tried to rob us off of our lockout today 
we already did
wdym parts
Ya Luigi I did that back in 8.2
there's a repeatable daily that you can combine springs gears and something else
to make an item you turn in.. the recycling daily thing
are you stacking vers corruptions?
no
475
not yet. just TD and IT
Thereβs no need for doing the recycled parts daily for Vision R2... itβs only two crates lol
It's the energy coil and oscillators I need
Last question, i promise. Just how good is the mythic BoE shield? Is 10 ilvls on a shield a massive gamechanger?
so you're saying i could win bigly?
Hey anyone timing like 21 or higher junkyard can you link your path
Iβm just curious on what others are using
Energy coils drop from like everything and oscillators are craftable and you get a guaranteed one from the WQ

@sweet summit is it worth 500k?
tunnel obelisk to trixy area
I paid 400 for mine as well
i just feel like it would make M+ feel much better
It does
i'm a poor alt warrior so i'm still rocking 465
ive been praying for a shield from my chest
ive gotten 3 trinkets and 3 belts :(((((
I got 475 socketed seal of questionable loyalties with TD2 week 1 π€€
I'm about to roll a new prot warrior, but am torn between all the alliance allied races
Alliance lmao
The only thing that matters about Junkyard route is:
- Get shockbots early
- Donβt die.
- ???
- Profit
2.5. Do blob with last boss
Eh. Not really needed but you can if you want I guess
it's p free
Blob with last boss exposes dps brains to vulnerabilities
JY has the most lenient timer in the world. If we were gonna have another patch theyβd probably cut the timer down
just 2-chest 4head
Ull still 2chest without
People are 2 chesting JY28, goes to show how hilarious the dungeon is
Tank buster + skewer + blob melees sounds fun
2 chesting 28JY?! Jfc π
Did that once on DH ghash
Guessing you have hunter pet est them
Sure was.. Interesting
Eat*
we didn't have any pets buuuut it was just a 15 :p
Do that on 22+ like a man!
π
My group could not do that consistently I donβt think. We still struggle with Yazma at times
Even with 1 obelisk
I was in a group that failed JY 21 last night, was just wondering if it was the path or something
@limpid pawn did you have deaths
What makes the difference in JY is dummies dying with bots
Did everyone have shock bots thr whole run
Literally nothing else
Me no, DPS yes
If you lose shockbots, youβll fail
the shockbots in JY scale with key level
so on a 28 they're carrying your dps hard
Well not guaranteed but timer becomes a lot less of a joke
Route doesnt matter as long as no1 dies
Hm, I had some dps dying to questionable things
JY strategy literally is just get bots and donβt die. The route is basically unimportant
eh
And if dps are dying they are likely just being careless
Prob not
Well yeah but then youβre ignoring the get bots part :p
so many people still do that in pugs it's weird
well route kinda does matter... you want to try and avoid gnome eating slimes and not pulling too many grunters at once
Yeah who knows
I mean avoiding slimes isnβt crucial to success though. Just donβt die to them haha
the fact that some of those mini slimes proc on-death affixes
We pull like...3 of them I think in our route iirc
is pretty fuckin dumb
What on death affixes do they proc? Iβve never noticed
some time after the first bolstering week this season
it matters the higher you go
for tyran AD what route do y'all prefer? rezan first to burn lust then alunza?
is there a new place to find mdt route imports now that method is gone?
at what ilvl is it good to start prioritizing stats over ilvl
when two items are the same ilvl
example:
2 pairs of gloves at 465 ilvl
one vers>masst
one haste>vers
then you pick the one with the most haste
but unless its that type of thing then just got for ilvl?
kk
ty
my warr not even 15 cloak yet but i figure it would be better to go expedient maybe until i have high enough cloak for TD3
but then id be waiting a whole month for TD3 so idk
meaning no vita for next 3-4 weeks minimum
Wait, I got the carapace last night... Is it any good?
485 yeah
Never mind. Ilvl is much better on weapons. I already have a 475

Hey, got a question about trinkets for M+: I just got both Trinkets from Ra-den HC - would you suggest them for M+ (12-15 keys) or my other pair with Humming Black Dragonscale (460) and Lingering Psychic Shell (470)?
Or just one of the Ra-den Trinkets?
this was that one "prot warr" who joined as a trial 3 weeks ago
vita+scale @silent hamlet
showed up to one raid night on farm, died on every of first 3 bosses and was going around here and there since then
vita+scale @silent hamlet
@sweet summit Thank you! Thought about that because of Haste
It is because of the Haste, right :D?
And why is Void good? It has no Str?
why prot warr in quotes
Guys how do you feel about shadowlands prot warri? Im trying to figure out what tank to play and warri is quite fun atm but the changes read pretty bad π¦
i dont feel :/
Is it that bad?
idk
just wait for numbers
24
95
1337
42069
i think it's wayyyyy too early to speculate on what specs will be good in shadowlands
Fact is, if there is a decent player behind the key board even Shadow Priest will be good.... Pffft who am I kidding?
and even then, meta changes so fast....
so what im trying to say is just play how and what you want to play as long as it's not inting
So don't play shadow priest, gotcha
SP owns man
Pwns *
True, They bring the Stam buff.
VE SLAPS
no, thankfully we have evolved past pwns @mellow patio
SP does HELLA damage right now with crit haste corruption.
then xan and vex

maybe1 day clear???????
hey guys, having trouble choosing between crit haste or crit vers pants, focused on m+ lvl 24 and up atm
if vers stacking pick vers
Crit vers id say
if not pick haste
Ah rosjen faster
i am speed
πββοΈ π¨
Can we stop wiping on xanesh and vex?
aye that's what i thought, guess i will have to get used to slow af gameplay π
just skip it 5head

Im still sad that i stopped attacking boss being afraid of commiting suicide π¦ waifu btw
My favorite thing was in EP
I had full perfect benthics, dreams end and sockets on everything possible with titanforged trinkets like coral and inkpod
Iβd pug heroic weekly and kick all dps under me
But Iβd be doing like 40K + single target DPS with heroic world top 5 parses
I shouldve keep going and just blame healers 
Many azralon/ragnaros tears were had
π―
I soloed nythendra as wlock back in legion 
I multi box tank heroic nyalotha now on my prot war and brewmaster
Did all 12 fights EZ
Pretty hilarious when people realize both tanks are the same person
I tab target windows very quickly my dude
No botting can be detected when I use autism to my advantage
I read somewhere that there was a guy soloing ICC on multibox, but dunno if its true or just stories
Actually what Iβm doing is not multiboxing
Because Iβm only controlling one at a time
Just switching back and forth quickly
How did u managed vex?
that's cursed
Vex I tank boss with brew and drop statue under her
Just alt tab on gcd, have that 600APM
Tank adds with warrior
ISB can be stacked to 21 seconds
Put monk on follow during breaths and move
Sounds like new meta
Itβs 600APM autism nothing more to say man
All fights except nzoth are pretty easy
Why to recruit two tanks when You can have one tank with two accounts 
Nzoth doing psychus phases while tanking bashing tentacles is very hard
Anodiezed defectors...for us as prot...ok? or poo poo
Yea i had Γ tank that just stod om the KR door the whole timeπ was weird asf dho
@mental scarab
late response, but that could have been me, it's usually the way i do that boss. i have the (range) dps stand in the.. ..uh.. tongue balcony thing?? stairs for the soul shatter
makes it so spider puddles are less likely to be near boss for people to stand in and die
Actually, do You guys know something about organized pugs doing mythic raids? Im not talking about full clear but more than 3/12
3/12 is like the furthest Iβd expect most pugs to get
Maybe 4 or 5 but hive mind I wouldnβt hold my breath
Im talking about those grps that just progress together without being in same guild etc
Anodiezed defectors...for us as prot...ok? or poo poo
@lost silo mecha on use bracers?
if so, yes, garbage
would you ever use torment in a jar mythic?
People judge good tankiness here usually by how@much it will let you survive HUGE pulls
na we have good stat proc trinkets
over other trinkets if they are HC (with socket)
unlike most classes
Like can this gear help me pull 12 mobs in a fortified 22+ key
no torment wont be better than scale, vita, block, rezan
I'm confused where this thought is going
There are an absolute ton of fast auto attacks occurring during those pulls, so pieces of gear that only help with like 5 attacks is considered bad
But ur nuts if u think torment will dent your meters between clap and td
@limpid pawn 
happens
i did say i wanted a shield from the box
Better than not having a 475
But you know that youβd replace that with a 475 go away shield from mother lode in a second
Or 475 ilginoth should
like, i'm an engineer, and i got the weapon and the shield, (no helmet because lazy with raiding for shreds)
Also I think that even in 15 keys, lucid major is the play for weeks like this
so i guess it makes sense flavorwise
π€
Example, ataldazar priestess room
Pull entire room
Combust on it, use lucid and healer doesnβt have to worry
you can pull entire dungeons in 15s and the healer doesnt have to worry
OK
Lucid feels much better to me than VOP almost always
i hate just sitting on lucid for 24 years
and looking at you like
"u gonna press me or nah?"
cuz it doesnt offer any value in low stuff
I was farming my pearls for benthics
To parse lord heroic parses that nobody cares about
cba'd benthic
got my 99s without it, be it heroic or mythic
but then again, only did heroic 3 times total
POG WE DID IT LADS
Dafuq is that

my azerite
What is the addon?
Oh. That doesnβt look like the screenshots Iβve seen if it before
Not mecha chest π
no IV π
guys
Iβll scrap you
protection warrior
π³
You donβt say
versa corruption or tw devastation?
Very high being like 24-25
Managed to only get 1x defeaning crash and 1x bastion from vendor this week...
should I try for more 460 bits again next week or just save up for the 475 bits?
Also, got 475 rezans from chest π
Save for 475
475
Scrap prot, return MoP prot
Thanks guys, will do that
And warr as a whole
Haven't got any TD yet, so my DPS is pretty shit
Do TD if you're not doing any high keys
i am dying on the breath on wrath why is that lol
they dont top me
Press more buttons
hi so, newish here
hello 
how heineous is it to have SS and SB on a single macro?
its kinda very bad
if you dont mind answering whys that
shield slam and shield block
Shield slam
Oh duh
Yeah, that would be no bueno. You'd over use shield block, most likely.
Especially on packs that you should strictly be using IP on.
30 rage down the drain.
You use shield slam way more often than you'd use shield block, as shield block is the active mitigation of this spec you need to think about when you use it properly not by autopilot empty mind. there's no limiter on how often you can use shield block so you'd often overlap and run out of charges.
ok well for me content wise it hasnt really been affecting my defense
example, Shadow of Zul.
fantastic
Yeah... never macro in avatar with LPS... I don't do that. Stop looking at me funny.
LPS?
timed my first 19 today, ML
Lingering Psychic Shell(N'Zoth trinket)
rixxa made me weep
ah yeah i just came back to this expac after taking a long break after legion
so i havent been able to tank the raid
just been carried through
Can we start a petition or riot or something to be able to split up the prot artifact weapon transmog? I love the sword but the shield ruins everything.
Nah its the other way around mate
i also have a follow up question
is haste the primary secondary stat or should it be vers
because ive watched a decent amount of content where people just hit a soft cap for their secondary stat then stack vers
but as i am gearing this char pretty late im not exactly sure

haste is good offensively and gives increased uptime on all of your active mitigated and whatnot
dead key, karton
verse is lower dmg output but flat DR that can make some things that were really hard to live on very high keys livable, and thus making them possible
thank you
Realistically i just want to single mind fury the mage tower flails.
Just pulled a 475 Rezan. IIRC, its haste per min is roughly on par with a 460 vita. Should I run with 475 Scale and 475 Rezan, or still stick with Scale and 460 Vita?
It's difficult to consider letting go of Vita after all the good times we had together
Cheers! Vita and Scale it is.
Probably asked before, and 'rng' is probably the answer, but, I felt like I was getting way more TFB procs in the last few keys I did then I did last week. Anyone noticed that, or just me being paranoid?
Just RNG, especially since Grievous would theoretically cause more procs
^
My tank has dungeons like that as well, but then he also has dungeons where he procs TD 800 billion times
yeah, thought as much, felt annoying, maybe also cause I ran 39 all week in Grievous because of increased TFB procs
Hey guys! Quick question:
What's better for M+ tanking between
i) 6 x +12% Versatility from all sources
or
ii) 5 x +12% Versatility from all sources and 1 x Versatility proc when damage taken
Stupid message so I deleted.
@kind gust key levels?
@kind gust Dont need vers % until about 24s
Until then go TD with 2x R1 Ineffeable Truth. Once you start pushing 24/25 keys switch to Vers with 2x R1 Ineffeable. You can do the math yourself to see if Surging Vitality is better than another Vers Amp. I believe there is a calculator/spreadsheet either In pins or somewhere.
Is it worth is to run rank 2 conflict & strife as a major ? Or is there a better choice since itβs only rank 2
i believe running conflict major in general depends on level of key, i only run it major on necrotic week
@novel ruin Thanks for answering. Does the calculator have the proc rate?
Average uptime for tanks of Surging is 50%
So use that. So R3 surging adds about 401 Vers on average
@civic rover thanks
@graceful wave key level?
don't take my word for it, there's much more experienced people in here that know for sure
Vision to about 18s. Lucid until about 24/25 level then Conflict Major above that. Or for necrotic week.
Besides KR. Lucid for KR forever and always imo
do you go lucid in KR for the first boss room so you can pull more?
For keys 14-17
@graceful wave Vision Major then
Is there a YouTube or tutorial somewhere to help me understand why to take the choices per the key level ?
Choices of what?
in visions, is there a dif between running in tank spec vs dps?
Mobs hit harder, but you don't really notice it if you're solo since you also take less damage as a tank.
And mobs have 25% less HP as a tank
sounds like the way to go
