#

skittra is bis so getting a heroic pair will help till you have enough to gamble on mythic ones

sand relic
#

wait i have 465 shoulders alrdy

steep bone
#

@left hatch isnt it better to get cara+nzoth azerite and vendor chest? If he has a chance to kill them ofc

sand relic
#

i was using for fury

left hatch
#

oh he has skittra already

#

lol

sand relic
#

Im not sure what boss there from tho

left hatch
#

that being said its worth going into raid to try to get ra-den trinket

sand relic
#

i have dragon scale

left hatch
#

Ra-den + Wrathion trinket will be BiS for you for a LONG fucking time

sand relic
#

which trinekts should i use for now ?

obtuse yoke
#

also your talents don't seem to be right @sand relic

sand relic
#

what talents do i want for keys

obtuse yoke
#

booming voice

steep bone
#

Raden wrathion atak dazar one are all good

obtuse yoke
#

and i like storm bolt tbh

sand relic
#

only 1 wrong is booming voice right

left hatch
#

the AD is kinda poop compared to the other 2 options

#

if you have the choice

obtuse yoke
#

booming voice is pretty big

sand relic
#

so out of my gear which trinkets should i use right now

left hatch
#

a mythic Rezan's gleaming eye gives less stats than a heroic scale/vita ):

#

mmm Scale + 440 Rezan's for rn

steep bone
#

Its decent if he cannot get raid ones isnt it?

left hatch
#

Bandages and sporepods are shit

#

and fang is really yikers to use if you're new to tanking

sand relic
#

so dragonscale and gleaming eye for now

left hatch
#

or even if you arn't its dangerous cause you can't block

#

yah

#

and yes AD is the best you can get outside of raid

civic rover
#

but really try to get a heroic vita

left hatch
#

your 470 shield is better than your 460

#

you shouldn't be gemming/chanting for versa

#

esp on weapon, force multi is much much better

sand relic
#

should i purify my 470 shield?

left hatch
#

yeh

#

glimpse does next to nothing

#

and Murkey Curealean Signet is a hard pass

steep bone
#

Personally id pug mythic first three, get skitra shoulders, nzoth head and vendor chest, as trinkets vita+nzoth one, its said its not needed but its good to cover mistakes both from You and your team, especially when You are doing lower keys - people there are pepega.

left hatch
#

Use overclocking bit band

sand relic
#

so i alrdy have skitra shoulders so should i go for random chest or save for specific?

left hatch
#

with your protecting bit band

#

random chest->random shoulders still

#

despite skittra being BiS basically any mythic option will be an upgrade

#

the raw stats > traits

sand relic
#

so get 1 random chest and 1 random shoulder right now with my 10k ?

left hatch
#

purify your 470 boots and use those

#

Infinite stars has basically no purpose outside of parse whoring on like 5 bosses in raid

#

yeh buy a random mythic chest and shoulders

sand relic
#

u sure i should purify those boots arent they good for arms or fury ?

steep bone
#

No

left hatch
#

no, even arms and fury don't use IS

sand relic
#

so purify my boots n helm

#

boot sn shield i mean

civic rover
#

arms and fury favor flat stats over everything else iirc

steep bone
#

Infinity stars looks good on sims but in reality its usable only on st fights and its pretty garbo if doesnt proc

left hatch
#

purify Rope-Scoured gauntlets (eventually at least)

#

strikethrough does fuckall

#

but in the short term you probs need it to activate HoD

#

just remember that its basically a dead corruption once you get enough echoes to start buying TD/IT

sand relic
#

wait so which hands do i use

#

I thought St was good for fury

left hatch
#

Rope-Scored

sand relic
#

so i was saving it

left hatch
#

ah you fury

sand relic
#

i hate this corruption system tbh

left hatch
#

i think it takes a lot of investment for fury to want strikethrough

sand relic
#

its frustrating to play multipel specs

left hatch
#

like you need to hit a certain crit threshold

steep bone
#

Youre punished for not playing everyday and doing all content basically

sand relic
#

well i mean both 470 hands i have are both crit maSTERY

left hatch
#

for it to be better than Severe

#

yah, rope scored are a slight sidegrade stat-wise to Avian Sentinal

#

but if you're worried about fury

#

use Avian

#

you said you bought 2 IT1's yeh?

sand relic
#

so do i have any gear right now worth putting my rank 1 IT on

left hatch
#

yes

#

your 470 shield

sand relic
#

is that shsield actually good

left hatch
#

ilvl>everything else

steep bone
#

Ilvl on shield matters

left hatch
#

and itll be really fucking hard to get a 475 without raiding deep into mythic

#

or being rich

sand relic
#

right now i have 0 corruption resist still aand i have 1 trank 1 td right now

steep bone
#

Get cloak up man

left hatch
#

yah

steep bone
#

One td and you are too corrupted

left hatch
#

once you have enough resist to roll with your TD1 and 2 IT1's

#

put 1 IT onto your shield

#

and the other onto your....

sand relic
#

i did 1 it on sheild

left hatch
#

ig Avian Gloves

civic rover
#

if you have a lot of gold the boe shield is worth buying imo

left hatch
#

oh wait no

#

your pants are really good

#

toss it on that

#

the BEaten Gold legplates that is

sand relic
#

i alrdy put it on sheild

#

fuck

left hatch
#

you said you bought 2 right?

#

1 on shield one on pants

#

ez

civic rover
#

your shield is still hella good

sand relic
#

will my resist be 2 high

#

?

opal whale
#

I just bought the two ITs as well not sure what to put them on. What’s the best way to link my gear so you guys can check it out?

sand relic
#

right now i have rank 1 td and 2 rank 2 IT

left hatch
#

copy your simc string string in pastebin

#

and link it to me satled

#

uhh thats what... 12+12+25

#

you have 27+10 corruption resist

#

yah itll be fine to run both

sand relic
#

so put my last IT on my legs ?

#

the beaten gold haste vers ?

left hatch
#

yah

sand relic
#

what about those 2 rings u told me to use

left hatch
#

only other thing is changing gems and chants to be haste

#

they're great but not BiS

#

like if you can spam Junkyard for the 'use 3 abilities' band

sand relic
#

ok so any other changes ?

left hatch
#

it and Overclocking are basically bis

#

regardless of higher ilvl rings

#

so you can safely toss more corruption once you get it on Overclocking

sand relic
#

well once i toss that prot ring ill have 0 TD

#

i have 10k echoes right now what else should i do buy more IT or save

left hatch
#

save for TD

#

2 IT1's is all you'll ever need

sand relic
#

even tho i have a 445 with rank 3 td

left hatch
#

yeh, personally id use that for keys below 20

#

but i also have a ❤️ healer i trust

#

and have been playing prot a long ass time

sand relic
#

so what other changes how can i show u so i can see if i missed anything

left hatch
#

for someone thats newer the beaten gold with an IT1 will be better

#

oh im looking at it

#

it looks good tbh

#

you have decent pieces

sand relic
#

no other changes ?

#

how high should i be able to tank with this with my ilvl only at 466

left hatch
#

besides the gems/chants - getting your essences to r3 - maxing cloak and gambling on mythic azerite in chest and shoulders

sand relic
#

i kno how to tank and use defensives n stuff and stuns i just havent focuses on this toon sicne last expansion

steep bone
#

how high should i be able to tank with this with my ilvl only at 466
@sand relic i tanked like 16-17s with such gear with ease

left hatch
#

easy to pick up, hard to learn the naunace to

sand relic
#

so should i go chest first or save for specific

left hatch
#

rando chest-> rando shoulders -> save for specific

#

and yah you'll be able to get to 16's 17's with that

sand relic
#

so right now i should go rando chest n rando shoulders

#

even tho i have 465 shoulders ?

left hatch
#

you're asking what pieces to toss corruption on @opal whale ?

#

yes

opal whale
#

Yeah. Just got the ITs

#

Maxing our cloak tomorrow

left hatch
#

the stats from the ilvl on mythic shoulders outweigh having bis traits on a heroic piece

#

pants and feet probably

sand relic
#

what if i get a chest or shoulders without def crash

#

i got ashvane warden cuirass chest

#

is that good ?

left hatch
#

yes

#

bis

sand relic
#

stfu

#

really ?

left hatch
#

yeh

sand relic
#

o hell ya

left hatch
#

well damn close to bis

sand relic
#

what traits

#

bm bfi op

#

or unstable flames

left hatch
#

no

#

BoM - MS - OP

#

meticulous scheming is why its reallly close to bis

#

CwH slightly edges it out

sand relic
#

ok now i should get shoulders ?

left hatch
#

mhm

sand relic
#

what do i do if i dont get deafen crash tho

left hatch
#

fingers crossed that wont happen haha

sand relic
#

where do bis shoulders and chest come from raid

left hatch
#

if it does you might have to roll without DC for awhile

#

Skittra and Vex

sand relic
#

i got tank buster pauldrons are they good ?

left hatch
#

yeh thats only very very very slightly behind skittra

#

so basically bis

sand relic
#

what traits since i need DC i cant use bom

#

both of those peices i got also have test of might are they also good for arms ?

left hatch
#

no idea whats bis for arms, youd have to ask there

#

DC (for now) - CWH - Whirl

#

next move is to save to hard buy an abyssal malevolence helm so you can move DC over to that

#

and at that point you're basically set

graceful jolt
#

only need 1 DC though, correct?

left hatch
#

yeh

#

hed replace the DC on his chest with BoM

graceful jolt
#

is it worth it to take more, or not really?

left hatch
#

nah

#

the nerf to UF end of s2 kinda killed stacking it

sand relic
#

right now i only have 1 BOM tho

#

isnt that bad ?

left hatch
#

its not ideal but

#

the stats from mythic pieces >>> bom

sand relic
#

ok any other changes

#

this is my gear now

left hatch
#

and hard buying malevolence helm will give you a 3 stack

#

just the stuff we mentioned earlier, maxing cloak - getting essences to 3 and changing gems and chants

#

you're in a really good place

#

could probably do up to 20, even with your trinkets lagging a bit

sand relic
#

what weapon enchant

left hatch
#

Force Multi

sand relic
#

and all haste enchants n gems

left hatch
#

mhm

sand relic
#

nothing else gear wise u can see i change

left hatch
#

gem in your belt -> haste

#

but othewise yeh you're looking good

#

the only 'easily' obtainable upgrades besides buying that helm would be spamming workshop for that ring, and pugging heroic ra-den for a vita

sand relic
#

what should i do with my 10k ehcoes ? fix any of my essences ?

#

or save for something

civic rover
#

upgrade ur cloak if you already have bis essences

left hatch
#

you can easily upgrade VoP and SoTR yourself

#

id say save

#

for TD/cloak upgrade

#

hokkk

#

first off salty never use Anima

#

its worse than an empty slot

#

the minor can kill you (both in game and irl)

#

because if you get chunked and drop below the threshold you lose the bonus hp, and have less hp than its giving

#

you die

#

it taking away the health brings you sub 0

#

and then you die irl in shame

#

CnS/Sphere/Lucid are strong alternaives

#

i also wouldn't use aegis in most cases

sand relic
#

wait so what minors should i use

left hatch
#

your minors were good day

sand relic
#

u said sotr

#

whats that

left hatch
#

strenght of hte warden

sand relic
#

o

#

so right now im running 2 rank 1 IT and 1 rank 1 TD

left hatch
#

aegis is only ON PAR with CnS and sphere if you're constantly in combat with 6+ targets... which includes chain pulling and pulling trash with the boss to keep it being useful

opal whale
#

I’m switching them now

left hatch
#

so again CnS/Sphere/Lucid (:

sand relic
#

so u said i should spam workshop to get other ring

left hatch
#

yeh

#

i forget the name but its the one that activates after doing 3 abilities

#

pair it with the haste proc

#

profit

sand relic
#

should i use those stikethough hands for now or the other 470 same stats just backwards

#

even with those St hands im only at22 corruption

#

so should i just use them with ST

#

and switch to the other 470 when i wanna change it so i can still use ST for fury

#

or should i just purify it

#

and use it

#

@left hatch

#

also i only have 6 percent vers am i gotta get hit like a truck and how does running 2 IT work

left hatch
#

don't worry about versa whatsoever

#

because of how slowly it stacks (85 per .5% dr) haste and crit are better at reducing damage for the damage profiles you'll see until yo'ure well into the +20 range

#

versa is amazing against burst damage, and unavoidbale magic damage which you don't see either of in scary amounts till you get that high

sand relic
#

ok and any tricks for using 2 IT corruptions

left hatch
#

nah it just passively reduces cds

#

as long as you're not like rage capping, or wasting GCD's on deva/revenge when you have generators up

#

you'll see a huge increase in ava/DS uptime

#

and be able to SR and pummel a lot more often

opal whale
sand relic
#

i just got the crit mastery 465 shieldd from underot but i gave it away since mine was 470 i hope that wasnt bad

left hatch
#

nope

#

ilvl>>>>>any other factor for your shield

sand relic
#

kk

#

on aoe should i revenge when i dont have free procs ?

#

because i do alot

left hatch
#

in trivial content sure

#

but once you get higher no

#

and in some cases its a DPS loss over not using revenge

#

(weird concept ik)

#

but sicne its on the GCD its a less efficient rage spender than IP, so in some cases it can lead to less rage use/production

#

and hurt your damage

sand relic
#

and should i always TC spam when it lets me

left hatch
#

yeh

sand relic
#

even on Single target

left hatch
#

TC>SS>free revenge>Deva in aoe

#

in ST SS>TC>Free revenge> Deva

#

you'll still mash TC but SS has prio

sand relic
#

i jsut did a 14 UR with no issues but i only did 32k overall

#

feels week

left hatch
#

lot of that is just low amounts of TD

#

or smaller pulls

#

can't compare your damage 1:1 to what ppl pull in mdi

sand relic
#

tru

#

i did a few nice pulls

#

i did forget to use shield wall tho

#

i didint need it

#

loo

left hatch
#

yah thatll happen

elfin siren
#

more gear comparisons sorry! trying to pick best items to put corruption on (2x TD 2)

mental scarab
#

Higest ivl

elfin siren
#

so even at only 5 ilvl diff, ignore haste & go for ilvl?

sour silo
#

U should put it on the haste highest ilvl one tbh

modern gale
#

More stats > good stats

#

Especially when you're talking about TD, more stam = more TD damage

mental needle
#

Are vita and torment the best trinkets for maximum damage in mythic plus?

hallow phoenix
#

Vita and fang I imagine

mental scarab
#

Prty sure the bike trinket from junkyard Do more dmg then torment

#

And fang you need to channel so thats no fun

hallow phoenix
#

But it will definitely give max damage

stiff oracle
#

Not if ur dead

#

Cause you popped fang and got tapped

hallow phoenix
#

Shockwave -> fang

mental scarab
hallow phoenix
#

That's how you use it...

weak magnet
#

Hello guys new to protection warrior coming from arms can i play full haste corruptions with enchants sockets and rings with versa?

#

15-17 keys max

hallow phoenix
#

I mean if you're running expedient you should have haste gems and enchants

#

You should have haste gems and enchants regardless actually

sand relic
#

@left hatch should i get more IT while the vendor is still up

hallow phoenix
#

Expedient is fine by TD is better if you have any

sand relic
#

or keep saving s

weak magnet
#

i am saving now for td and some versa maybe?

#

but for now i can play expedience right?

hallow phoenix
#

You won't need any vers for those key levels, haste will give you more overall survivability

#

Yeah there's nothing wrong with expedient for now, definitely save up for TD though

weak magnet
#

thank you 🙂

hallow phoenix
#

An IT piece or two is really good as well

#

Not sure if you'll have any laying around as arms

weak magnet
#

i have 2 rank ones

hallow phoenix
#

Throw those on too :)

scarlet copper
#

at what point is it worth dropping TD and picking up all vers? I have a TD2 on my wrist and would like to push 22/23

still pagoda
#

+25 for sure

sweet summit
#

for damage never
for survivability whenever
TD has an added benefit of killing packs earler so you take less damage

still pagoda
#

the thing with +22/23 depends on lots of factors

scarlet copper
#

best cc is death, true

still pagoda
#

including your group, your experience with the class, such keys and week affixes

sweet summit
#

if you want to transition into vers stacking, please have haste and vers on every item

i personally run 2xVers3+TD3+2xIT1 in such for now

not very, its good yeah but youre not depleting keys because you dont have it

#

potion of focused resolve beats everything for short ST burst? icy says unbridled fury potion to maximize dmg but over 60 secs, if we want to burst through like Thrall bubble in 6 secs in visions, Focused Resolve is higher dmg per sec while it's on?

shadow wagon
#

i lose literally 10% haste because i have a ton of expedients on my other gear for arms

mellow patio
#

Do you have any other TD

left hatch
#

idk where you heard focused resolve is good in burst

#

Unridled Fury in st - flat str in 2-... 3 or 4 targets i forget which

#

and empowered proximity in aoe

fierce bobcat
#

ahh i never heard focused was good, 20% crit for 25 secs sounds bigger than the unbridled fury per sec but I thought unbridled just caught up later cuz it lasted 60 secs lol

#

just my made up logic nothing real

left hatch
#

ah yah

#

Focused Revolve has basically no use

still pagoda
#

focused resolve has use for arms because the spec has a shitton of hard-hitting abilities

while for tanks it is worthless

if you need burst damage run CoF major and Cyclotronic blast trinket

#

having a heated debate about using devastator for all fights in nyalotha (im against fyi), can anyone give me a quick run down for or against so i can share?

sweet summit
#

its more damage on ST but less survivability due to the lack of on demand rage BV brings

hushed cobalt
#

more ST, but less overall (due to most fights not being pure ST), correct?

sweet summit
#

well you can change talents between fights peepostudy

hushed cobalt
#

that is not an option :< (edit: its use for all fights or none)

sweet summit

@hushed cobalt devastator cuts out a lot of rage that BV gives

not a good option for prog for sure

is there even any good azerite piece ilvl 475 from the trader thats worth buying / gambling?

abyssal head

does the prot warr spell reflect work against all spells?

sweet summit

kinda

raven knoll
#

so if i have head and chest ilvl 465 i just go gamble one of these 2?

sweet summit
#

its damage reduction against all magic damage, but only some spells can be reflected/deflected. there is a list in #268491842637660160

#

yes get a 475

#

I can understand trying to squeeze out dps everywhere for prog, it might be easier to have the DPS pump out more vs tanks sacrificing survivability. @hushed cobalt

#tankdamagematters

timid cairn
#

Erga is there one for m+ aswell?

sweet summit
#

it is for m+ too

#

tabs at the top

timid cairn
#

oh did not see it :p

left hatch
#

at least for the current iteration of prot you don't lose very much survivability at all going for a 'dps' oriented build over a 'tanky' build

#

so you arn't sacrificing anything really

tawdry prawn
#

Purely statwise what’s better Btwn these 2 If I run vers % corruption

left hatch
#

as long as you can survive the scary burst damage section like ilgy beam

timid cairn
#

ty alot for helping Erga 🙂

sweet summit
#

no worries mate

left hatch
#

theres huge diminishing returns for focusing solely on beefyness

#

(in raid specifically)

sweet summit
#

win+shit+p kmobey 😠

left hatch
#

do you already have 2IT1's elsewhere in your set kmobey?

#

cause the 475s are much much better if not

timid cairn
#

Erga is there a weakaura that can tell me that aswell or do i have to learn the spreadsheet :D?

tawdry prawn
#

I can buy 1 so wondering purely statwise

sweet summit
#

there used to be, but its outdated and doesnt work

left hatch
#

depends on your key level tbh

tawdry prawn
#

20-22 range is why I’m running

left hatch
#

the ilvl then

timid cairn
#

ok ty for helping me 🙂

left hatch
#

more stats + the small bonus of leech is gonna do more for you than trying to game out a tiny amount of more versa

tawdry prawn
#

It’ll b a lot more vers bc of vers % and the 475 belt having 0 vers

left hatch
#

'a lot more'

#

even if you have 100% more versa from amps

tawdry prawn
#

Well like 200

left hatch
#

its less than 3% dr

#

at 200 thats like... 1% dr lol

#

nothing to write home about

tawdry prawn
#

Lol aright

Do you guys run the „regular“ path in atal on bursting? The large terror packs on the bridges can be a bit nasty in pugs

#

Any alternative paths?

queen mantle
#

would u guys ever use the mechagon shield?

split portal
#

I think the stat loss isn‘t worth the minor damage/block proc

mellow patio
#

If mechagon is your highest ilvl shield use it

#

If equal ilvl replace it

#

why shouldn't i stack vers? @sweet summit

#

i also have mechanized plate chasse but i'm using it for arms and i dont wanna swap azerite 5 times a day

#

i'm using 475 fusion hacker at the moment btw

#

and a 470 crit vers axe

strong forum
#

because you do low keys

#

thats why you shouldnt stack vers

void marten
#

but i don't feel safe when playing with haste or twilight devastation

strong forum
#

then youre playing bad

void marten
#

i like taking less damage

strong forum
#

stacking vers in situations where you shouldnt need it

#

promotes bad play

#

if you dont feel safe in 15-18s, youre playing wrong and you will not advance even if you stacked 7x vers3 corruptions

#

past say 20s

#

sorry if it sounds mean

still pagoda
#

but i don't feel safe when playing with haste or twilight devastation
@void marten

Feeling safe is for bad players

#

no guts, no glory

#

no TD, no roflstomping

void marten
#

i dont care if its mean, but i'm struggling to see what's inherently wrong with taking safer route

#

my group probably wont crack 20s anyway

strong forum
#

its inherently wrong to think gear will help you better than playing better

sweet summit
#

its just very unnessesarry or however you spell that word

#

you take 0 damage in those keys even without vers

strong forum
#

again, if you feel unsafe in low keys without vers, youre just playing wrong

i fall asleep in keys below 20

sweet summit
#

but its a game afterall
we're just giving advice based on "minmaxing"

strong forum
#

cuz nothing even takes 5% off of my HP bar

#

i cant stop you from playing vers in low keys

void marten
#

wow

strong forum
#

but its not advised

#

nor will it help you improve playing better

civic rover
#

i'm doing 19s/20s with some friends and even with a pretty decent amount of missed interrupts i still don't take damage, with 0 vers corruption, unless it's like several missed kicks which usually doesn't happen

strong forum
#

but then again, we all play for fun

#

if you think playing vers will be more fun, sure go for it

still pagoda
#

in 20's most of the time i see DPS die before i even drop below 90%

if you think playing vers will be more fun, sure go for it

i dont need to use it i have so many SB charges when it procs lmfao

#

"i'm taking less damage" you might be, but it also means you're mucking up your rotation a bit

haste and crit in lower keys will lead to a lower EHRPS than versa

??? Just use the shield?????

And all the other time its parries

but im also bad at the game so i could be just not using it idk

civic rover

i have a vers set and i used it for my first 20 and i didn't like it because my damage felt super subpar

i used zero vers for my first timed +22

it was fine

completely fine

Yah cause you're throwing all ur damage away to survive unavoidable damage

I like doing 200k dps on large pulls

it makes me feel good about myself, look at me i stood in front of mobs td go brrr

lief, if you like damage dont try ineffable ravager with dragon roar

I did my first 20 with 1 x vers1 but I think i'd much rather have had more versatile

left hatch
#

and thats fine

#

its not optimal but

#

versa is an amazing stat if you're uncomfortable with the route/content/healer

modern brook
#

I mean we cant make you play any specific way

left hatch
#

because it mitigates mistakes

modern brook
#

But if ppl are gunna ask how to gear

left hatch
#

so if you want that safety buffer its great

modern brook

🤷

sweet summit
#

legit 35k (or 40k on details) dps is shit

but its so much fun

when it procs

#

and all my cds are back

#

i went full vers for an attempted 10 minute AD 16 just for the fun of it, it was pretty funny

#

took us 13 minutes though 😐

left hatch
#

its similar to like... a BDK using purgatory.... you're giving up a lot on the assumption you're going to fuck up

#

but thats ok if you're unsure about your own gameplay

modern brook

#

i think @mellow patio has the photo

left hatch

and its a game so

#

you can run w/e you want (:

#

live your dream

#

be like erga and make ravager a thing

civic rover
#

my rule of thumb has been if i'm pugging ill pop maybe one or two vers amps just incase they're apes but i dont pug a lot at all

mellow patio
#

Is that what we are looking for

left hatch
#

well besides that

#

2 IT1's and a single expedient

#

are better for survivability sub 23/24 anyway

modern brook
#

Yeah that's it

left hatch

than versa amps

#

so if you don't wanna use TD theres still better options lol

expedient lowkey sounds fun af

eh ppl are of the mindset that "i a tank. i no do dmg i just tank'

or they 'don't like how randommmmm it is'

have any of you guys ran full expedient?

Td is dope af not wanting tor un it is weird [2]

The only downside to td is sometimes I avatar and then td 3 times and I just win and I'm like oooh ok I guess its not clap time

does mistweaver really not have spear hand strike? i never knew that

but sham gets it anyway

I think healers should have an interrupt

Just disable it in PvP

well then it would make stuff like the spider obelisk easier for retards

idk its weird

3 melee kicks is enough for spider iirc

upper violet

some people in 15s dont have their kick bound

In my opinion, healers should have them because it loosens the melee kick requirement

coarse radish

everyone get wind shear

i do agree, but thats mostly a BFA dungeon design issue ye?

idk when i'm healing i cba to look at kicks

when the miss fears the whole grp

idk kinda weird

tbh and this is a spicy take

you can LoS that fear

i healed an atal last night and we pulled 2 screamers

distant crystal

we had an ele shaman and i'm like "just let first 2 go through and tremor ayyy"

sweet summit
#

that fear too

upper violet
#

fuck los

coarse radish
#

you have a lot of fights where it's designed for 2.5 to 3 kicks

distant crystal
#

they all laughed and then missed 1 of 2 kicks, fearing us w/o tremor

#

smh

coarse radish
#

and if all healers had kicks between them and the tanks (overall) that the 2.5 there

sweet summit
#

im fine with needing 3 kicks, but when you need 3 melee kicks its too much

coarse radish
#

so if you have a "balanced" team comp of at least one melee you don't have to worry about who you have for kicks

#

Which sure dungeon to dungeon but you really do run into scenarios where I joined a monastery group and by the team the key started it was me, the healer, two druids, and a demo warlock

distant crystal
#

i don't mind that some dungeons want more melee kicks than others

coarse radish
#

and the answer to ironhaul and his gf was

#

perish

#

ironhull

#

haul? hull? probably hull

distant crystal

you can actually do that fight with 2 ranged dps p easy

actually if we're on UR topic, how do you prepare for after tantrum

i oftenn have boss in the middle doing charge to africa

You as a tank get close ticks

Therefore boss comes to you where you tanked him initially

After tantrum I bring him back to the rib cage and face him more towards the entrance of his room so my group can position properly without fear of indigestion

When I have to get far ticks I just cry and tank him where he ends up
