#

ouch

left hatch
#

and fuck i got like 7 of each before i got the slappers on my hdh

crisp dragon
#

just not sure what to cleanse rn, I put TD 2 on my sword, I can remove that since I have TD 3 gloves with TD 2 feet, then cleanse some versa 12 get IT1's, if this makes any sense

#

then Im sitting on 59 I think

left hatch
#

id cleanse the versa

#

unless you're planning on doing like keys a decent amount above 20

crisp dragon
#

I aint

left hatch
#

its a subpar choice all around

crisp dragon
#

I have a 12% haste on my pants

#

is that worth it

left hatch
#

yeh having 1 expedient can't go wrong

#

persoanly id ditch it for TD but also errything on farm

#

so take that with a grain of salt

crisp dragon
#

I see... I would do that due to the fact that I'd rather have 59 than 44 corruption

#

but not sure the 6%hp dmg is worth that switch

left hatch
#

6% td damage can be a game changer in some cases

#

deleting adds on fights like vex or ilgy is

#

its biiiiig value

crisp dragon
#

I feel like I have sooo much mastery gear, is that a bad thing?

left hatch
#

nah

#

mastery is an amazing stat for us

#

it just gets devalued a bit cause BoM is our best trait and you should 3 stack it

#

as long as its your highest ilvl, its not bad

crisp dragon
#

Doing a quick sim, then you can see if you think my decisions were good or dogshit

royal rune
#

first time tanking with IT1 x 2

#

really good shield block uptime

#

so different!

#

fark me

#

this is gonna change my life

left hatch
#

just wait till you do something like lord waycrest

#

or Rixxa

#

and get to spell reflect EVERY dot

crisp dragon
#

Oh! I didn't evne think about Spellreflects

royal rune
#

ahh

#

SR as well

#

no wonder

#

whats the dot from lord waycrest?

left hatch
#

its like... tainted claw

#

or plague claw

#

something like that

royal rune
#

my vers amps is gonna make it too easy

#

come sat

left hatch
#

wasting strike

royal rune
#

i was struggling to time KR 19's before the corruption vendor

#

and now the 19 and 20 are ++

#

so different

#

good times

#

and no sudden dying from no SB

left hatch
#

👍

sharp rover
#

Would you drop 5 ilvl on bracers for 79 leech?

left hatch
#

same statline?

sharp rover
#

14 more haste, 16 less vers

left hatch
#

eh its a tossup

#

thats basically the only piece id ever consider dropping ilvl for leech even for fun

#

but that amount of leech also isn't gamechanging

#

go with yur gut (:

royal rune
#

hmm interesting

#

i thought the leech was worth 10 ilevels

left hatch
#

not at all

royal rune
#

good thing because i have 0 leech

#

on my haste/vers

left hatch
#

its a nice side benefit to have

#

but in reality it doesn't do that much

#

and only consider dropping ilvl on wrists/waist because you basically get 0 stats from the 5 ilvls

#

some of the realllllll big bois

#

have been looking for it to replace equivilant ilvl

#

cause no leech < leech if thats the only change

#

and high versa amounts makes it a decent amount of healing

#

but for 99.9% of the player base its better to just stick with ilvl and stats rather than worry about tertiaries

royal rune
#

yep k

Hello - im currently sitting at 474 ilvl with TD 4 - IT r1 x2 - and Vers 3 x1 -
Effective stats:
Mastery 26%
Vers 16%
Haste 22%
Crit 16

For m+ is my haste too low? i have usually been sitting at 25% haste at the expense of vers. Currently doing keys in 17-18 keystone lvl range.

left hatch
#

its a bit on the low side

#

but for that range as long as you're going with ilvl>all (excluding trinkets obv)

#

yo'ure doing fine

#

stat %'s are largely irrelevent

#

i WOULD however drop that versa for an expedient

hidden ledge
#

thats interesting

left hatch
#

unless you NEED it to survive burst damage, point for point haste is a better defensive stat than versa (assuming you're playing correctly)

#

and frankly theres nothing in 17's/18's that are close to 1 shots

hidden ledge
#

ok, i understand

left hatch
#

DW too much about your stat weights either

#

for the most part they don't matter (:

#

just grab w/e the highest ilvl is, and if shits equal ilvl go for Haste>crit>=Versa

#

and dw too much about versa amps or stacking till you break into 20s

hidden ledge
#

ok man, thank you so much

left hatch
#

np

storm elk
#

is it still ilvl>stats for rings? Or sis that a sim it and see case.

left hatch
#

sim if you're comfy and only care about dps

#

defensively its kinda feelycrafty

#

sockets are easily worth 15 ilvls

storm elk
#

Yeah keeps simming this 445 ring with a socket as better than my 470

left hatch
#

i usually hold onto haste rings indefinitely until i get another haste ring

#

yeh sockets are stupid value

lilac cosmos
#

480 bbi chest or 465 vex chest?

left hatch
#

480

still pagoda
#

It would be even better if bbi chest had BoM in the class ring

left hatch
#

only time youd drop ilvl on az is for your DC

still pagoda
#

First DC

lilac cosmos
#

but BoM so juicy tho 😢

still pagoda
#

It is not worth ilvl

#

Just use this 480 for now and then get a better piece

left hatch
#

yeh it feels bad but

#

gotta do whatchu gotta do

still pagoda
#

Mecha or ashvane chest

left hatch
#

and not only is BoM juicy but vex chest is damn close to BiS ):

still pagoda
#

Or mythic vex

left hatch
#

but yeh not worth the giga amount of stats you lose

still pagoda
#

and not only is BoM juicy but vex chest is damn close to BiS ):
@left hatch

I would say it's equal to S-tier M+ chests

toxic remnant
#

Man TD3 x2 is pretty obscene

#

At least on 15's

left hatch
#

yeh

#

feels good to just delete packs

toxic remnant
#

Like fuck defensives Imma just delete this hoes

left hatch
#

tbh you're not losing a lot of defensive value at that level

#

albeit it i still keep on 2 IT1's cause hrngggg is it fun to have 3 back to back Avatars

#

but the versa isn't gonna massively reduce your ehrps at that level

#

and more than 1 expedient is overkill

toxic remnant
#

Oh I am (was?) full haste

#

Still always a <39

#

I might have to try going higher

left hatch
#

nothing wrong with it, but while you arn't in danger of hitting haste (even soft cap)

#

the value of more expedients isn't as good as 2 IT1's

#

and you don't really need to stack defensives like that till you hit the point of "oh god i need versa"

#

at which point you wouldn't worry about expedients anyway

toxic remnant
#

I wonder at what point I should just switch back to a single TD3 plus IT's and stuff

#

Haven't really pushed this week

#

Seems yuck

left hatch
#

gonna be really feely crafty, personally i can go to like 22/23 with just my IT's and TD

#

but versa is pretty good for mitigating mistakes

#

some mistakes anyway.... its not gonna save you from multiple missed salt/water blast casts

rough hazel
#

Hi there, I'm trying to gear a warrior for m+, so I'm farming like mad to get gear. This is my first time looting a +15 weekly chest and I got the Mechagon bracers without any secondary stats.
Are they worth it? Should I cheer or cry? Anodized Deflectors in 475 ilvl

toxic remnant
#

Do you always keep corruption at 39? I have the feeling the second I go over 40 I get two copies in a row

left hatch
#

basically the worst bracers at that ilvl

#

but if its a decent ilvl upgrade still worth using

#

just macro the effect onto TC

#

nah i go to 59 pretty often

#

you have a ton of tools to deal with TFB

rough hazel
#

T.T every other slot is like 460, low versa 😄 almoast any item would be an upgrade

left hatch
#

dw about versa

#

Ilvl>Haste>crit>=versa

toxic remnant
#

Spell Reflect + gtfo with leap?

left hatch
#

until you start pushing well into the 20 range

twilit elk
#

which one should i go for? mainly playing m+ (not high keys, around 15)

rough hazel
#

I'm already pushing 22's on my VDH, reroling prot 🙂

left hatch
#

even at that range its not time to all in on a versa build

rough hazel
#

Well thanks for the input 🙂 will go cry a little now, have a great day all

left hatch
#

and yeh splatatata, that and shockwave, stormbolt or even just popping a IP and giving him a hug

#

its capped at 36% max

#

so... not that big a deal in a lot of scenarios

#

@twilit elk the servant splitter

#

also.... the versa navigation is almost def a bad play

twilit elk
#

@left hatch ok tyvm ;), what should i go for?

left hatch
#

Force multiplier

#

it double procs secondaries

#

basically anytime you hit avatar

#

(assuming you have at least 1 BoM)

#

so it has a really crazy stat budget

twilit elk
#

oh i see, thx

toxic remnant
#

What's capped at 36%?

left hatch
#

the damage from TFB

#

its 36% health damage

toxic remnant
#

No way

#

Daaaamn

left hatch
#

the only thing that increases it is shadow damage % increases... which off the top of my head is only found in Visions and on skittra

toxic remnant
#

So what's does higher corruption make it do?

#

Move faster?

left hatch
#

move faster

#

yeh thats it

#

doesn't even increase spawn rate

toxic remnant
#

Oh man I might go TD7

left hatch
#

the only keys i don't run 59

#

at a like 20/21 level

#

is shrine and waycrest

#

oh and tyrancial ML

#

cause ik i need to budget out my SR's for other shit

#

and tbh at 59 its not TFB thats the bugger

#

its the eyeball and the slow

#

unless you get really bad rng and 3 /4 spawn at once

#

which... does happen once in a blue moon

toxic remnant
#

Only ever seen 2 and that scared me of fucking up

#

But imma definitely go 59 now

left hatch
#

nah even that not lethal unless you already have like KR or rezan bleed on you

toxic remnant
#

Didn't really knew they were capped, that's a game changer

#

I came like 2 months ago and been going pretty blind at things lmao

#

The warrior way, just charge away

left hatch
#

yeh i have an addon that gives me info on exactly what the current corruption level gives

#

Narcissus i think it is

#

so it has down the the exact amount how much the ticks of eyeball will do, how much the slow is etc

sick sentinel
#

is ilvl > traits on azerite pieces?

toxic remnant
#

I'll check it out.

left hatch
#

exception is your First DC

#

but yes

toxic remnant
#

Anyways, good talk. Thanks for the help and the info.

left hatch
#

the only other time i wouldn't take ilvl is if i was going from something crazy BiS like BoM + CwH to something truly god awful like BS+CR

rapid trench
#

If you have 2 tfb up at the same time if you get hit by 1 the other despawns; exception to this is when they hit you at the same time

left hatch
#

hmmm thats a change

#

havn't noticed that

#

good to know tho (:

All other things being equal, what would be considered a better loadout;
41 haste & 15 vers
54 haste & 12 vers

Running M+ 18 ish keys

still pagoda
#

54 haste

#

vers is irrelevant in that range

cinder jackal
#

Is there a key/content level that pushes vers up?

still pagoda
#

+23 keys and higher

cinder jackal
#

Or just a 'oh shit I died to that'

#

Oh sweet

still pagoda
#

and then you are starting to only look at it

cinder jackal
#

Way off what I am doing then 👍

#

Thanks mate

still pagoda
#

you don't need vers in mythic Nya either

#

just rotate your CD's and don't slack

#

and it'll be good

cinder jackal
#

Yeah I'm 4/12 on Mythic Ny'alotha, and tbh, surviability really hasn't been the issue.
Now I am starting to run M+ (I'm normally DPS in my M+ team), so have been playing around as to whether my stat priority is any different

#

Thankfully, it's not

It won't be an issue on any boss

frosty wren
#

@torn monolith u can do it with every spec u want. I mainly do it as Prot und run full haste and as much TD as possible

torn monolith
#

returining player so im not fully decked out

only really have 460 ilvl and two haste proc corruptios

frosty wren

Since visions adjust to your spec u can run it with what ever u feel safer

sick sentinel

Hey guys! I'm planning on pushing above 20 soon with my warrior and noticed that this week has both ineff rank 1 / 2 and versa rank 3. I bought 1 ineff rank 1 so far, should i get another one and then go for 7x 12% vers? I do have 2x 12% vers atm, so I really only need to buy 4-5 more of them if that's the case.

Just wanted to thank @left hatch as the reason I popped on here was answered by skimming the last couple of hours of this thread. Thanks 👍🏼

coral marsh
#

is the weapon from junkjard mecha that gives only health and a unique passive any good for tanking?

#

or is it trash?

#

somebody here?

modern brook
#

smh guy couldnt even wait a minute

#

ilvl > everything

#

if its even ilvl you take the one with stats

coral marsh
#

you sure it has no secondary stats but health?

modern brook
#

yes im sure.

#

weapon ilvl brings mainstats + weapon damage

#

and its easier to find haste on rings than it is to find weapon damage on them so you take ilvl over everything in that slot always

#

same with shields only replace weapon damage with block value

coral marsh
#

460 hands with +80 strength socker or 475?

that doesn't necessarily apply when vers stacking though for high keys I assume?

Guys, in the beginning of the week we can have expedient III, but later on there will be versatile III on Saturday. Is the haste good way to go or just w8 for versa?

@fleet nova

The way to go is TD

sweet summit
#

Both are decent fillers

fleet nova
#

I have TD

still pagoda
#

vers is worse below +22-23

sweet summit
#

Do you have one or two IT1?

fleet nova
#

Nope don’t have IT

#

I can buy them as well

sweet summit
#

Get some, IT1 is great. Very very great

#

Two is recommended to always use

fleet nova
#

Thanks guys!

#

And about ring Ilvl is it the same? Take max or choose stats? Question is between 465 475

sweet summit
#

Ilvl is king

#

At equal ilvl take the item with more haste

modern brook
#

that doesn't necessarily apply when vers stacking though for high keys I assume?
@scarlet copper IF you're at the point where you're verse stacking for high keys; I imagine its safe to assume you have multiple pieces within the same ilvl range per slot

#

Like the baseline "ilvl > all" is a generic catch all since simming defensively isnt practical

#

but like if you were ever fighting a raid boss who had no blockable damage

#

taking high ilvl mastery item is a burden

#

compared to slightly lower verse

still pagoda
#

have you ever seen first boss in ML turning to the tank right at the end of claw cast and hitting me no matter if i did move out or not

#

sweet summit

Skitra has no blockable damage or am i dumb

still pagoda
#

yes

#

modern brook
#

🤷‍♂️ imagine actually playing this game before suggesting things

#

smh

sweet summit
#

Mastery adds AP, so big dam big value Target

#

But thats a sim question for dam

modern brook
#

Oh 100% but i just mean like defensively it doesnt bring a whole lot

#

for that kind of fight

#

in comparison to haste or verse

sweet summit
#

Yeh

modern brook
#

The point is just that like you take ilvl over all cause our stats are just good

#

but if you're at the point where ur optimizing a stat for sometihng

#

youre allowed to drop ilvl to do that

#

you're just also at the point where you dont need to double check your intuition with a discord server 🤷‍♂️

@ocean heath the resistance doesnt to anything, its just there to look pretty

@sick sentinel you dont really NEED verse until 24~+ depending on how much you trust your healer

sick sentinel

the resist on the bracers can be good if plan on facetanking alot of bomb mechanics as they are dealing fire damage, otherwise they don't do much yeah. xD

and i know a lot of people like 2x IT1's

trust my healer? i pug 24/7 mate.

do not go for it

cause everyones banging on me to go for vers corrupts otherwise im not welcomed

than any amount of versa amps

Not for 24s and above @modern brook

But for 22s you can go half

modern brook
#

oh well never building verse then smh

22 you can still go all in and be fine, theres no definitive right answer

so what else should i go for then since my gear is pretty much mixed af

but im at 30% vers unbuffed

its gonna be really feely crafty on how comfortable you are, and how much trust you have in your healer

i mean.. when it procs yeah

instead of whatever stupid shit TD does

cause the warriors ive seen with 2x IT R1 and 5-6 vers x 12% doesn't take any damage pretty much

left hatch
#

thats more because of flawless play

sweet summit
#

same thing if you play properly in a +20 without vers

novel ruin
#

You don’t take damage at a 20 level

left hatch
#

than just the versa

#

versa only truly shines against burst damage, unavoidable magic damage, and to help (somewhat) with mistakes

#

in a 20 the first 2 don't exist in a way that matters

#

and the 3rd can be ironed out with practice and getting comfortable with the content

sick sentinel
#

but doesnt TD scale down after certain amount of mobs>?

And don’t be like me in 24 FH last week where I pressed shield block during last stand not just once but twice during initial hero pull and then had to kite for 20 seconds

its 460 haste/vers with socket

yeh it depends on what the 460 is

ah haste verse socket...

thats already better than cosmic potential

socket is huge value on a ring

even if you cleanse the TD off the 460 thats a net gain

sick sentinel

so remove cosmic and use the TD ring?

left hatch
#

yeh

keep cosmic around till you can put a socket on it tho

eventually itll be better

but scokets are worth like 15-20 ilvls

yeah ofc

on a ring

the 2nd ring with TD is the one with vers main mastery off

stacking vers in situations where you dont need it only promotes bad play, and when you get into key ranges where you need to play your class correctly + stack vers, you will have to learn you class again

from what you have equipped, the big changes id make is swapping Cosmic Potnetial to the socketed 460, changing up your trinkets,

Str of the warden if you do

I don't have sphere on this acc sadly

rank 1 is enough

just R1

sick sentinel

so maybe conflict, lucid, vision minor

but yah... if you take a hit that knocks you below the threshold you lose that bonus HP... and you have less HP than it gives, it taking away the HP damages you and can kill you lol

sick sentinel

nvm, vision major

vision major mate

#

yeh

left hatch
#

and then you die IRL in shame

sick sentinel

lucid, conflict strenght minor

if you do'nt need corruption res than grab aegis over str

Str is a dead pick that you only take for the corruption

sick sentinel
#

ill go formless 3rd minor until i have sphere then i reckon

left hatch
#

yeh t hats an ok pick

#

but yeh VoP vs. lucid. VoP is better for newer players, pugging, or people that don't have established routes

#

but if you get used to pulling around it its much much stronger

#

and lines up with your dps' cds

sick sentinel
#

lucid major yeah?

left hatch
#

yes

sick sentinel
#

i kinda like if cause you can pretty much spam your IP during that time

left hatch
#

yeh thats why its strong, it lets you make spicier pulls and gives you a huge IP buffer and enough rage to give you 40-60s of avatar

sick sentinel
#

but then i guess formless->warden?

left hatch
#

depends on the group

#

if you have a healer (or anyone) running Breath of the dying major or CoF major

#

100% Formless

#

or if you ask dps nicely to stagger esence usage

#

if not str is better

sick sentinel
#

alright

#

now back to the question bout vers/haste amps

#

should i use my 2nd pair of gear for haste tehn?

#

then*

left hatch
#

versa amps are doing basically nothing for you rn

#

but doing 2 expedients is kinda overkill

sick sentinel
#

got same pair of feets without socket and 470 ny'alotha weap

#

from cara

left hatch
#

id grab other pieces and put TD on them for rn

sick sentinel
#

is TD up right now? o.o

left hatch
#

no idea, but wait around for it

#

and ig just keep using the versa amps till then

#

cause eventually theyll be useful

#

and hmm....

#

in most cases the 475 weapon is better

#

even w/o secondaries

#

but if you really wanna min max aoe damage than the 470 might have a slight edge

#

youd have to sim it tho

#

1-3 targets fusion hacker is much stronker tho

sick sentinel
#

now im at 26% haste unbuffed

#

28% with food buff and another socket added

#

still way to low i guess

left hatch
#

don't stress too much about it

#

its not gonna make or break runs for you

#

and just flip pieces out as you get higher ilvl or equivilant pieces with more haste
