Just go scale and profit
using a trinket or any cd as an oh shit button directly devalues it massively
just ignore pain FASTER

Game is availableV
๐ฎ
Eu scrub here 
?*
haven't done a key i 2 months
Yeah

ghrasht <--best joke of my life btw
Just came up a couple mins ago
living the good life
I don't get it
Yeah you wouldnt
Current trinkets in bag(only 4/12Mcurrently)
@sterile mantle
Vita and scale
delete everything except for those 2 and N'zoth trink

pvp trink for vers memes 
๐คทโโ๏ธ

i thought warlord trophty only took it to 455
oh then delete it
you can upgrade to 475 once you have 2300-2400 cr
IDK how pvp works

that shit is just more echoes every week
alch is new
gonna use warlords trophy on the pvp ring i have....it beats vers of all rings i currently have
i like that inclusion tho
yeah makes sense
im blacksmithy and jewelcrafting
Gives like 6ish % vers
@sterile mantle just be aware verse rings are plentiful in M+
specifically i think its WCM? that has verse haste?
might be KR?
yea but cant get lucky on drops lol
IDR
@sterile mantle BS garbo, switch for Alch or Engin
yeah but like being unlucky on drops and having literally 0 chance at useful trinkets are 2 different probabilities
I would aruge ur better off saving ur ups for the medallion
even if ur never gunna use it
You can farm rings
also More stats > a specific stat
So I have a ring question bois. I have 2 different AD rings. One is 465 + Leech no corruption, and the other is 475 with the 8% haste becomes avoidance corruption. Should I cleanse the 475 and use it or?
yeah
is the leech too good?
no
^
Especially on rings
โค๏ธ ty ty
I guess if its your ONLY source of leech you could consider it
Small leech is eh
but even then its a big EH
without it i go from
If you can maintain 5-10% leech sure
4% to 1%
11% leech gang ๐
Leech gains more value the more you have of it
Servers up lol
ANyone have that link to whats for sale this week/friday
Corruption vendor . Com
Gratz! Get rid of Pawn though
I might have another ring question
Shoot
470 N'zoth ring + avoidance or a 475 KR Ring that has taking damage grants vers corruption
this is what i'm replacing btw
Should i cleanse the ring and use it or?
What is this, an image for ants
whats the weccommended amount of dedotated wam i should have to s erver?
at least three fiddy
what the fuck
its high vers one
i got 16 gb ram but thinking about getting 32 or 64gb
wait its high haste one
p u r i f y
The high vers rings are from Atal and WCM
ora ctually wait
this is what i would replace
aye i brainfarted
sint that a good corruption to have?
It's like having Nimchip tank your keys, if that puts it in perspective for you
๐
What are you talking about nimchip would NEVER play classic
should i cleanse the mace
i had intention to not spend echoes till 31st for td3
and i got 14k or so atm
costs 15k
a 475 crit/mast shield is better than a 460 hast/versa, right?
yes
by a mile
Absolutely
15 ilvls is YUGE
Ilvl >>>>> stats
5% overall, 10-15% effective or smth
"I did the math" == i looked at the spreadheets in #268491842637660160 and compared a 460 to a 475 block value
Hey guys, my character is Caterus-Sargeras, just looking for a little advice on which shield to use... I don't want to lose haste, but ilvl differences are a thing. I have a 460 precipice from Ilgy, 465 go-away from ML, and just got a 475 salvaged mechacycle shielding with t3 severe that I'll likely purge. Which shield would you recommend? I'd lose 95 haste dropping the ML shield for the new one from the chest this morning.
Yeah?
yeah
I should read up on how block is impacted by that
is it worth the risk to open the weekly chest as prot
and get a shit trinket
or a mechagon shield
if mechagon shield is an upgrade its worth to try
could always get 475 gettiku
We literally talked about that 2 sentences above your question @buoyant moat
Mechagon shield indeed
yep
got a 475 haste vers belt with TD3 on it and a socket
jackpot
When gear priority is ilvl > stats, does it also apply to anodized bracers from mechagon that doesn't have any secondary stats?
how valuable is leech for us?
Meanwhile my prot warr cries in twidev 1. Fucking luck
Does siphoner increase your TOTAL leach? or is it 8% of what you already have?
3% flat leech
So if I have zero leach, will siphoner give me 8% leach? or do nothing
or 8 ih that case
yes
leech is pretty good for prot right?
it's a good bonus but not worth dropping ilvl for
yeah the corruption is garbo
@modern brook idk what youre talking about, retail is offline
I would def go with 475 one
should i roll for a random piece is i only have 460 pieces but with bastion of might x2 HoD x3 and 1 def
thanks!
The first one is amazing, only thing that would improve it is if the mastery were haste
But dat leech HNGHG
i got 475 crit vers boots ๐ฆ
The first one isn't amazing, it would be amazing if it was haste/vers or haste/crit 
big oof
Tell us how you really feel
what are the fucking odds of it 3x in a row
got vial of animated blood in weekly ๐

is there an option to calculate how much echos i get from weekly key? depending on key lvl

a 15 is 225? each key adds 15 echoes?
Does heroic leap reset stacks on m wrath?
no, avatar does
Schweet thanks
disconnected and left party on 22 siege due to blizzard servers. 3rd boss 11min left. I hate blizzard
NotLikeThis 
@raven knoll You get 100 echoes per keystone level in the weekly chest.
15 per level in the end-of-dungeon chest
win+shift+s
yo gratz
๐๐๐
alliance siege can burn
*siege can burn
TRUE
If you could pick one dungeon to delete, would be it be Tol Dagor or Siege?
siege
siege
Siege always has downsides
Well
Siege is fun on bolstering fortified weeks 
I like killing everything with the spotter in 1 shot
no cuz alliance has raider
Oh, i'm horde but I sympathize with you
I have only done alliance siege a few times when I was still on that side during S2
It's garbage
i would delete shrine
shrine is easy if youre not the tank ๐
or the shotcaller
and in my situation im both, and i suck at shotcalling compared to good people
That's cuz shrine isnt fun
shrine is alright imo
but siege and TD can go die (in game)
idk what blizzard was thinking making different versions of a dungeon
and then making one factions version easier than the other factions
m-muh lore
literally giving people less reason to play alliance lmao
blizz be like "WhY dOeS nO oNe PlAy AlLiAnCe?"
ally first boss boralus is easier than horde pug wise 

as a twitter post described, the players have changed, classic perfectly showcased that
oof

will probably tease someone in the guild to do few keys after tomorrow's raid night
really want to push into 23 range now
im gettin declined into 18-19s 
stop pugging 
that means stop playing
stop playing > pugging
still don't have claw
๐
it'd be easier for u to get dps spec ;d
@steep bone use your own key and build IO
i'm 3k io and i still get declined from 17s and 18s
do people even really run keys? i thought everyone just bought carries and did pet battles
why would i attack a pet?
you right you right
why would i buy carries
free score 
gotta get seratonin somehow
i'd rather spend gold on transmog than carries
pvp
*outside of top 10

i finally got the blackrock bulwark because it's been 2 months and i havent gotten the one from black temple
ya i mean raiding
guild ranking
m+ score will never be relevant unless there will be an ingame ladder
with ACTUAL rewards
none of that meme shit KSM or that ugly mount and title
the reward is when i'm standing in dazar and some 1k io will see my io and be like "AKSHUALLY THATS NOT HIGH"
i mean im sort of the same
getting official m+ ladder and proper glad equivalent mounts and titles
and im all game
ima grind that shit
sounds pretty lit ngl
yup
is it bad that i bought the blackrock bulwark for 600k gold just for my second warrior thats like 430 ilvl
That would be awesome
Official M+ ladder :pog:
i levelled a maghar orc for the heritage armor and i realized how many good mogs you can do for orcs
even though its an insanely successful system
it takes literally like 1-3 people to give m+ incentives designed
yet it doesnt happen
or is even remotely adressed
if mythic+ wasn't a thing so many people would either only log in on raid days or quit
m+ is the reason why we didnt get wod 2.0
or why legion didnt turn out to be wod 2.0 rather
i thought the garrison was fun for like a week
and then i realized "wait this is endgame?"
after progression is over the only reason i play is for m+
saem
no m+ i prob wouldnt even be playing WoW
Same
when progression is starting the only reason to do so is to get gear to slap
quick question, how tf do you drop necrotic stacks on gunker?
I always seem to get natural resets on Gunker
just be a dwarf
I've been advocating for essentially a battle pass every season for m+ for a while now
Each completed key gives x amount of score
Once bar is filled you get something
Resets every season with new items/mounts
http://puu.sh/G9tLZ/e11be9ba70.jpg
is this proper for this week's affixes? or carefully use cns major?
crit vers 470 from vision ๐ฆ maybe next week we'll get lucky with haste/vers
@neon cliff looks good mate. Just dont waste all the rage from lucid
cool! thanks @sweet summit!
@chilly brook would be nice, something like pvp cap
Hey all! New here
๐
i seem to have fucked something up and i'm not sure how
maybe i can help im in that state 24/7
when moving/strafing with WASD, my camera moves with my cursor
Is there a haste soft cap for prot?
like, not clicking anything, just moving the cursor around, and the camera moves like, opposite to the cursor
no softcaps
if i stop moving the mouse stops moving the camera
and if i rightclick the ground i get the normal mouselook behavior
what keyboard are you using
k95
did u tap one of the macro buttons?
don't think so lemme check icue
http://puu.sh/G9tLZ/e11be9ba70.jpg
is this proper for this week's affixes? or carefully use cns major?
@neon cliff
This is as default as it can be bro
depends on how far are you planning to push
you can go CnS major with no problems either
just don't use clap when mobs need to get out of pools
but main reason for CnS is vers
not the root itself
so...
you know
What are the affixes this week
Push keys this week hard
well quaking has been the same all season
Sorry I meant as opposed to other seasons
Quaking is a non factor
What corr level are you all running for high level keys 15+?
Sub 60
regarding my camera question below
apparently blizz broke something in today's patch
The minor patch released today in NA (21st July) has a fairly major camera bug in it. If you're experiencing issues you may disable raw mouse inputs using the following command:
/console rawMouseEnable 0
This should fix the issue temporarily until a permanent fix is provided by Blizzard.
What corr level are you all running for high level keys 15+?
@sick sentinel
everything before +20 is not high
if the keystone level doesn't start with a 3 who cares tbh

Fax waat
Oh lol I havenโt tried pushing above 16
Iโve got the gear for it Iโm pretty sure
hi, for a prot warrior doin less than +20, Gorecrusted 465 or rezan eye 460
other trinket is dragonscale 460
Id just sim for dps
But im also a haste whore so rezan 
Get vita if possible, vita+scale dream
double haste is kinda meta
if i dont get vita this week ima be pissed
1 question: my ilvl is 476, if i only do mythics around +15, is it worth it to drop 2xIT1 for more twilight devastation?
Offensively yeah
Utility/possibly defense wise nah
Just link a top gear or take a screenshot
Am I the only one who gets triggered on people pulling for you while tanking? Seems a lot of people are used to it..
i think that is almost as annoying as when you do a pull timer and ranged will pull on 1
Mate I do a pull 3 and they pull on 3!
lololol
I've only ever had 1 person pull for me, that I didn't mind. And that was a healer who would only do it when he knew he could handle the extra healing ๐
Granted I knew him, so wasn't a random pug
Proccing speed on the mechagon speed gloves 
is 3 IT 1 bad i just got a 470 weapon from weekly chest that has IT 1
this will b my 3rd
it keeps me under cap still for now cause i only have td 1 right now im saving for td3
Bulwark of masses or long strider?
i like masses
masses is incredibly minor
and hella scuffed
id pick longstrider ngl
cuz its up 100% of the time, bulwark only if it feels like proccing
Yeah I run pretty much anything except Self Reliance over Bulwark lol
What's an acceptable amount of corruption level to have if you're running keys under 20? Is it proper to stack different ranks of TD to keep corruption levels low?
Less than 40
59 if youre comfortable with dealing with TFB
39 if youre uncomfortable with dealing with TFB
less than 40 in pugs, less than 60 if you know the healer is good
Running over 39 can be sketch if not full vers imo
It is not
really aint
over 40 is a meme
It isnโt the thing
chads go over 60
do tfb even do any dmg with full vers?
๐ช
And no depending on vers, does like 100k to you
Yes, it sometimes eats your SR and stormbolt. Eye becomes a problem only on 9+ stacks IMO
There are some fights you want to keep SR
I am lucky on slow procs tho
slow has never been an issue
u have avatar, leap, intercept
going below 40 won't remove slow
Most likely not going to have avatar for when slow procs
if using avatar lines up with removing a slow then good for u but its not like the slow is an insta gimp
And even when at 35-39, it's still 45-49%
And there is a huge difference between a 59 and 39 slow
Yeah
But what Iโm saying is that thing isnโt the real reason as to why you should be afraid of going above 39
Itโs the slow and eye
Especially if no vers
vers is overrated
Sure you are both amazing and lucky and have never cursed the slow before

it is from month ago or so
Need help with these traits here, 1st is shoulder that are Ilvl 465 - has nice BoM traits and IF, second is 480 with meh traits...
Any ideas/thoughts on what I should use here?
Simming this is rather difficult so thought I'd get some addiitonal help here
scrap second one
ah
wait
it's 480
then don't
just equip it for ilvl
but know that you will need to change it ASAP
the only trait worth sacrificing ilvl for is your first DC
You'd roll that for Prot for the time being over 465 with better traits you think? I mean it has Test of Might so I can use it for Arms down the road but you're right this needs to be replaced soon
Assume Shoulder from H Nzoth runs during my guild run tomorrow, 5 ILVL less but comes with BoM, Deafening Crash and Heart of Darkness... I'm assuming that would be better than the above 480 piece correct?
H Carapace*
if you don't have any other DC, then it may be used
Anyone got any thoughts on what the next move will be for Versa Corruption? We are now slot capped at 7xVers3 2x IT1. If 125+10+59=194 will be our max corruption budget at full cloak upgrade and max equip 59 then do we go 8xVers3 1x IT2 (190) or perhaps 5xVers3 2xIT1 2SV3 (194) or something else entirely? Thoughts?
And if I do have a DC?
i'm personally using Skitra shoulders, H N'zoth helm and Ashvane warden
for now at least
well
second DC is better than Callous reprisal and lack of BoM for sure
but it only adds damage
Which is totally normal
I only have 1 BoM if I rock with that 480 Shoulder rn... which makes me very sad
you'll get there eventually
@sick sentinel
paint madskillz at work
i assume mythic base since i will have access to carapace drops tomorrow, but i shall also say
that if you have possibility of grabbing skitra shoulders from mythic
take them no matter what
skitra shoulders outweigh everything
and absolute BiS
Okay so that's my "to-do" for the week. But for today would you just recommend running with the 480 shoulders and biting the bullet and only having 1x BoM
(thats assuming I get lucky with Skitra or even H Cara)
but if it is only 5(your current 480 compared to HC cara), then easily go for the one with better traits
well wait a second... yeah H Cara is 475 and Skitra will be 480....
Skitra outweighs everything on its ilvl anyway
So the priority list youd say is MSkitra>HCar>(My Current 480 Shoulders)
yes
i would say differently though
MSkitra > Kraken Shell = Tank Buster > HCara = Skyscorcher >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Everything else
on helms it's N'zoth helm and Abyssal Malevolence
these 2 are BiS
For chests: Vex, Ashvane warden and Mecha plate are fairly equal
with vex going ahead the higher you push due to 100% uptime on stats from HoD
hi, what essences do i use when i ahve some slows in my team
like a frost mage
on m+
You should be fine with the default ones. ๐
what are those
There are guides that cover this in the #268491842637660160
VoP major / Lucid / Warden / CnS (Sphere) are solid.
CnS majors root portion doesnt work with frost mage so you are missing out on huge value what makes it great so you are better off playing warden/lucid major
So i got rolled and lost my 3 stack of BoM on all my azerite upgrades i either have the option of stacking iron fortress or blood sport anyone know what would be better?
I feel like IF would be since base block but no idea if it stacks
All azerite traits stack to some extent. IF stacks completely. Bloodsport on the other hand is mediocre at best.
Cheers!
What do you guys typically do if you don't get top left in WM? Drag first ob all the way to witches or?
On tyrannical, yeah. On fortified we usually go to soul goliath first
Cool. I'll try that out. Thanks!
Is it worth losing haste and crit for ilvl?
Yes
I lose 9% haste and 4% crit
I gain 5% vers, 1%block and 4% mastery
and gain 1 Ilvl overall
but puts me at 470
Ilvl will win on almost anything but rings mostly
Depends on the ilvl drop I'd say
Cause 9% haste loss on ring, I'd probably stick to the one you have
But that's just me
Tbh I think ur over thinking it
The mastery gain is overall not something to look at either. So you're dropping 9% haste for 5% vers basically
at what haste break point is running devastator over booming voice?
...never?
Devastator is run on single target fights for more damage. It's never used over BV on anything with remotely consistent aoe
ok cause i was reading the reddit comments for the tanking thread and they mentioned something about that
but i figured you guys are a little more knowledgeable
Ghash knows everything
^ This is not true.
sounds like something someone who knows everything would say

We donโt even have a haste breakpoint either we aim for as Protection
I just did a ToS 20 and I had some DPS die to Arcing Blade
I can't find any entry called Arcing Blade in the dungeon journal or on Justhealus

I can't find any entry called Arcing Blade in the dungeon journal or on Justhealus
@sharp rover big circular AoE around melee bro during caster phase iirc
_Adderisย will frequently deal damage to all players within 15 yards withย ๏ฟผย Arcing Blade.
๏ฟผย Arcing Bladeย deals damage that isย split between all players hit. Therefore the group should stand nearย Adderisย at all times to help split the damage_
I am wrong
AoE i talked ablut is Peal of Thunder
Always forget names of boss abilities in theee
So if people are getting murdered by arcing blade it's a healing issue?
Or a stacking issue
is Echoing void rank 2 better than a socket?
Echoing void is meh, go with socket
Unless you have no other courrption
Corruption*
gonna be able to craft 470 socket gear at the end of this run
so sadly itll be replaced quick
are there any dps trinkets that are removed from chest if we open as prot spec?
Fang
Don't think so. Just the other way around
Oh is fang not on prot table? Guess that makes sense
so if i want either a shield of dmg trinket as my top 2 priority there's no easy route lol
if i open as prot i might get a bad tanking trinket i don't want, and as arms i can't get a shield
so i gotta have just 1 priority
out of those a good dmg trinket is better right?
if i'm using gladiator's safeguard right now, getting a dmg trinket would be better than going from a 460 shield to 470 shield?
so if i want either a shield of dmg trinket as my top 2 priority there's no easy route lol
@fierce bobcat
Just open as prot then
Rezan trinket can drop for prot
ahh ok i'd love that one
And BiS comes from raid anyway(Vita and scale)
cool thx gonna gamble on the prot open
Nothing is better than a shield. I would recommend staying prot loot spec until you have 475 shield/weapon personally unless you're mythic raiding and can get one or the other from raid
Iโve got three BoM now because of new helm. Do I swap BoM on chest to DC? So I would have 2 BoM and 1 DC or keep the three BoM?
is haste or verse more important for prot?
haste
cool ty
unless u re doing +23 with full corruption vers
and even tho i think haste is still prior
You don't need full vers for +23 and haste is still equal if not better than vers @woven trellis @serene linden
tyvm very helpful
Don't even bother with vers if you're doing keys below +23
Ilvl > haste > crit > vers > mastery
With rings ignoring ilvl over all rule(better off having both rings with haste than without)
what would happen if people were building Full Mastery Vers
would we tank less, and damage less?
Trying to put together a tanky vers set for high m+, would 475 belt with crit/vers + avoidance be worth it over 475 with haste/vers?
is playing cns major for tol dagor's running mobs a good idea?
to control sanguine somehow
All that's gonna happen as a result of cns on sanguine is you either clap into puddles or you can't clap because they'd be in puddles
Those two floors SUCK but between bolt and shock and, hopefully, your entire party there's enough around to fix it
God tol dagor sucks
๐คwhat kind of content are you doing
@strong forum I finally got a mythic slapper
@halcyon coyote ye its good idea, the best actually if u are stacking vers
im doing 23+ keys, isn't that the rule?
i made a set to push like 23 or higher keys
this one for carrying and lower keys
there is no rule
when you need Vers, you use Vers
there is no arbitrary number to start using it
probably crit haste
haste
are the people gemming and enchanting for vers simply doing it for damage?
or is that the meta? or still haste?
been a way a while
they are doing it for giga keys
verse makes you do a lot less damage than haste/TD build
i PUMP hard as TD6 right now
but verse lets you pull absolutely huge and not be threatened for death
explain to me why all the tops warrior logs are using vers build?
I didn't look at my stats during the big pulls, but I am positive it is like ~50% DR
top wars do it because at their key levels (+28-+30 keys) it is required
Itโs because at the level they are doing they can get globaled
raid logs*
also, on top of being required, it allows them to pull bigger comfortably with a huge amount of room for error
No reason to do it in raid
and their DPS as a result can unleash huge aoe big dick damage
Besides laziness to keep two sets
doing it in raid is like actually not great for your raid IMO, the TD is so much better
oh god, all of this so that I can do higher keys this week, and in 2 weeks :/
losing corruptions will suck
Losing corruption will feel sad
No more furious beams of RNG propelling me to victory
Void tornadoe
Mwahi is silly
you just block it
Or
but i couldnt
You could leave the instance, go home, pack up your things, move to Africa, realize the weather isn't pleasant, pack up again, move to Mars, and Dazar would still find you, leap to you, and cast Blade Combo.
yeah
thats what i thought
i told me u could just charge another guy
but i tried it and it felt like giving dazar free hits in my back

@sullen valve have you gotten any logs for pwarr from beta?
I have a few
Can you link
I can get more too
In dms
Wait how do we know we losing corruptions in 2 weeks?
let me find the one i have real quick and then i have a few small small logs that are 1-3 pulls to show if things scale with BV and Avatar
If there is anything you want me to test let me know
What legendary did you play with?
This was before legos
Ah
avatar and ds are whitelist abilities
meaning external damages don't scale
like trinkets
and legendaries
@toxic remnant wdym
how imortant is kicking the n on active boss i nfirst temple
Very important the higher you go
A good conduction->jolt combo can easily kill, and it can mess with your spell reflect
Not only that but your healer also doesnt have to heal extra damage
can someone help me decide between lockjaw shoulderplate 475 vs. pauldrons of infinite darkness 470?
i only have 1 writhing spaulders of madness 475 so until i get another one i gotta use either of these
Lockjaw unless your only dc is on the carapace shoulders
so is the 5 ilvl upgrade better than the heart of darkness?
HoD andBoM are on the same row so youre not taking the hod there
i guess i do have the vex chest and ilgy helm for heart of darkness
But then youll lose DC
IF if lower than 475 shield TW if not tbh
ic
so id have 3 bastion, 1 deafening, 1 iron fort, and 1 heart of darkness and thats better than 3 bast, 1 deaf, 2 heart since lockjaw is 5+ ilvls?
id mostly do keys and i do have vers gear but not a lot of correct corruption
You can sim for dps if thats what you want
TIL leap resets taunt cd 
But i believe the ilvl upgrade is worth it
id prolly have to go for survival since my shield is 465 and i dotn have 2 ineffable + all vers corruptions
Mandatory "do you really need to go full vers?" question
no idea

Hey guys! Looking to tank a Heroic Alt run for my guild tonight. I'm a Mythic geared Arms Warrior, so I do have quite decent gear that I can reforge, plus some Versa/Haste pieces along with the M Wrathion weapon and the M BoE shield. So, I'm doing quite okay in terms of gear.
My question is as follows, though: Is the IcyVeins guide still applicable on high amounts of Haste and Versa, or would I go with a different setup in terms of Azerite Traits and such?
460 vita plus 460 scale or 475 rezan?
Iโd probably go vita and rezan there but I think the haste averages out to close to the same
@opaque jasper icy veins guide is still applicable. Gearing philosophy is ilvl>haste>verse>=crit for raid . In an ideal world youโd have 1 deafening crash, 3 bastion of might, 2 HoD/cwh etc
I would go vita and humming
oh man so not even an upgrade from my chest.. thanks guys
@mellow patio Nice, thanks! :) So, just ignore Brace for Impact from the guide and go DC/BoM, got it ๐
Can fill with BFI. Itโs still a strong trait, but if you can have the set up I outlined Iโd go for it
Will do, thanks a lot! :)
if using lucid major, under what gameplay conditions do we pop it?
i've played with vop major all this time
just wondering about lucid
Is there anyway to upgrade an items ilvl that is not "gladiator"?
bulwark of the masses over longstrider?
Bulwark Fuck that speed ๐
Speed is life
is ineffable truth worth it ?
pins my dude
ineffable is covered in the spreadsheet
ty
is the nzoth trinket worth a shit?
yeah its pretty good as a defensive
It's the best defensive trinket the game has seen in a while
its mint, 6 second cooldown, gives 180% damage reduction until 1.4mil taken
you can just spam it for every melee swing
What can you spam?
quick question, what are y'alls haste levels at while in full vers gear? mine feels awfully low
Now I'm confused as to what baldy is referring to
I'm at 31% haste with full vers gear
But im missing 1 item with haste/vers
Also running vita
Nzoth trinket is 80% reduction until the shield absorbed 280-350k depending on vers and ilvl on a 1min CD.
So no idea where you get the "spam" part, the 6sec part, the 180% part and the 1.4mil part from @sacred nexus
i mean
no one's stopping you from pressing the button

wether that does anything is another story
True 

What should uptime in a +15 be for shield block and ignore pain? Is there a specific uptime to aim for besides as high as possible?
@strong forum just over exaggerating how good it is... but yes, its v good
@eager socket no % uptime to aim for. Just as high effective uptime as possible. Effective uptime being when youre takimg blockable damage. Pretty simple ๐
Sounds good ๐
How do I tank the mobs in the beginning of KR that cast the tornados? I feel like there's a sweet spot to avoid getting hit by them but I don't know it
I cry
My healer cries
We all cry
If i try to dodge them ill just get hit anyway so i stand still
just heal me
:(
Just stand inside their model.
One other question. How do you guys deal with dropping necrotic stacks in pug groups? I find leap just isnโt enough most times. Especially in tight spaces like siege just before the 3rd boss.
intervene is your friend
since range in pug groups always stand on range and dont come close so u dont have to deal with rangeabilities ( looking at shattering toss in freehold, where sometimes u get knocked to the moon cuz range brains ), intervene is your best friend
before 3 rd boss have to kite whenever the horse guy does his charge
then with conflict major u have enough time to drop necro
got a bit stupid question but im really not sure, got this ring, I know its 15ilvl difference but 350 vers and losing just around 80 stamina and 100 haste. could someone help me out on choice?
im wearing the 445 right now
Easily the 445
You don't care about specific stats, at your ilvl all you want is ilvl > haste > everything else
Never
You mean psychic shell or sporepods
Or shell?
Yeah
Uhh yea
Cuz that's wildy different things
zoth trinket
Oh that changes things
So at what point do u start using htat ?
Around 21/22 keys for comfortability or ilgynoth and nzoth mythic
It's a quality of life thing in those ranges, later on becomes quite substantial
but i guess you would use that instead of scale once u start doing 20's?
Just to make it "easier"?
Not really
Depens on whether you're comfortable with incoming damage
Though first BIG increase is +23
20% more damage and hp compared to +22
how'd you figure that?
whats the jump from a 19 to a 20?
it seems like a big difference to me but might be that im not comfortable enough yet
Damage and health in keys is just 10% more for each key level. There's no big jump from 22 to 23, or any other key lvl.
If it hits for 100 in a +20, it'll be 110 in a +21, 121 in a +22 and so on.
Uhm.
The higher you go, the bigger the jumps will get
It'll be a 10% increase from the previous level. So the jump from 1000% to 1100% is quite substantial.
It's all relative though. There's no breakpoint where multiplying by 1.1 suddenly has a greater impact.
Huh?
It doesnโt work how you think it does flyxx
It works exactly how I think it does, "If it hits for 100 in a +20, it'll be 110 in a +21, 121 in a +22 and so on."
I just don't think it's right to suggest to someone that the first big increase is at a +23 or whatever, when the one prior to that isn't too much less and the one after that isn't too much more. Yes it is a greater change as you rise up, but it's still 10% more than you took on the key below regardless of level.
Sure but looking at it as only 10% isn't right either. 10% of 100k on a health pool of 800k isn't alot.
10% more of 500k is all of a sudden dangerous when before you had still 50% hp left
But yes putting it at specifically 23 isn't right either
But it does scale up quite fast around those levels where stuff actually becomes so you can't ignore it
Even if its just 10%
Yeah I agree. All depends how comfortable you found the previous key and if +10% on the previous key would start causing you issues.
to craft alchemy trinket do i need to do anything with nazjatar shit?
Which can be very skill/gear dependent, so is kinda different for everyone.
the crafted one from there
Na
Nop
8.2 profession has nothing to do with 8.3
Except you needing the 150 or w/e in alchemy
The main difference between pushing higher is you can quite easily survive hits at 19/20 by missing an mitigation cast, when you start going into 22s, thatโs just fatal dmg. But thatโs a skill thing as said
Gear only carries to a certain point imo
Thats wht i stack vers so gear carry me further ๐
Yeah so a 26 with vers is the same as 21 without ๐
๐
Ez ๐

Ah yes 475 vial in the box. Does anyone run with that?
480 azerite gear without mythic + bis traits or 465 with bis traits? what should i use?
for m+
only 1 DC is worth an ilvl drop
the haste one.
the sockets sort of thick on the 465
but sockets are meaningless in a world where ur a week away form socketing any given piece.
corruptions ok f it doesnt break your threshold
Purify it if it puts you too high
okay thank u!
@split portal I also got the vial in my box
Its not your first choice for a trinket
but if ur otheroptions suck its serviceable
Our trinkets are sort of set- One basically has to be Vita; the other is generally better as a scale or Nzoth's trinket
how do you feel it is this week in m+ for us tanks? ๐
Great week
Sanguine is one of those affixes that you just sort of ignore if your tank knows what hes doing and fucking hate yourself if he doesnt
if it was IT1 :/
so like its an EZ af week for sure
2 weeks is best week
first giga item in a long time ๐
may i introduce you to our lord and saviour ineffable ravager?
๐ข
for prot when
b-but.. the parry 
Though maybe Iโll meme and do a ravager/revenge build

devastate ravager is dae wae
does it make a difference if i'm buying td3 vs td2?
like, for example, i know that using max IT is inting
Na, it's just easier to min max corruption by having several different TDs
Only having 2x TD3 will fuck you over if you ever wanna run different things with say TD5 or w/e
so, td2 is safer?
i got td2 RN, i had td1 on prior weapon, but i lost it when i got indestructible 475
IMO buying TD is a mistake unless ur already kitted
Its statistically the easiest to get a hold of cause all 3 levels are worth holding onto
plus its a fuck ton of echoes
kitted?
Guys i havent been able to find somewhere that lists which consumables are best for m+ (foood + flask). What do you guys use?
Str flask and haste food
For keys, (17-21ish) where do yโall think lusting is optimal on fort weeks?
why haste and not vers food?
^
And if you have to ask, you're not doing content where stacking vers is beneficial over haste
One reason could be you're playing high keys. A pretty good reason tbh
Ya but if you're doing high keys, you don't need to ask those questions
Chances are very high you already know what's going on
always good to double check if your thoughts are correct tho
Never wrong to double check
I don't really see the use of haste past 22ish
Stacking haste means you have to completely overhaul your corruption when you reach high keys.
So why would u stack haste in any circumstance.
If that is unclear to you, maybe the discussion is over your level. :)
Those 2 are completely unrelated
unless u stack the fuck out of vers % corruptions for some reason
@sweet summit What else would you stack?
quick help pls what is better https://gyazo.com/718f90675e4be9d866a86345f7be8d15 (ivl 475) or https://gyazo.com/be90699294007deadacd84e1c630219c (ivl 465) rest of my traits are 3x Bastion 1x Deafing Crash 1x Heart
Mechanised Plating Chassis is the best chest you can get from the vendor
With bom + clockwork heart + OP
so does it beat my 465 chest?
By miles
like i would lose one heart
can you explain how that comes? just the ilvl alone? or are the traits superior too?
@steep star haste
