Traits are superior, cwh is equal to hod but lines up with pulls in m+ very nicely

not to mention the massive amount of base stats you get from 15 more AZ ilvls

Every since 8.3 they're on the vendor, you just can't get the hard mode stuff

thanks for the info nomeratur!

it can offset corruption slow fwiw, but yea bulwark

You guys are so troll with haste stacking over vers

strong forum
#

Ya im big dum apparently

#

What are you even talking about

#

Even if you're vers stacking, you run haste/vers gear

amber siren

tru yep

#

Like what

steep bone
#

You should promote davidan to theorycrafter, things that he says are so wise

strong forum
#

There was a question about buff food and flask

#

And now people are talking about gear stacking for some reason

warm plinth
#

I mean tbf in any relevant key you're probably using feasts anyway so food is largely irrelevant

#

Because unless you're using vers food, feast will overwrite it anyway

amber siren
#

iirc davidan has always spammed weird vers opinions in the prot channel

#

nothing new

steep bone
#

isn't non feast better for pandas tho?

raven knoll
#

@strong forum just making sure illgynoth head on HC is worse then Nzoth HC head right? even tho the nzoth one has worse little traits right?

strong forum
#

Absolutely

i can post pictures if needed

Yeah but feast will overwrite it if you use it

what are you talking about

Actually, I've Ashevane Warden's Cuirass (bom, meticulous scheming, op) and cara&nzoth azerites both on heroic ilvl, i assume that i should get vendor head aye?

wish i could get skitra shoulders pepsihands

strong forum
#

Ya ashvane chest is big 👌

#

Helmet gambling is your best choice ye

#

Since abyssal Malevolence is the best in the game

I've gambled like a dozen times to get my DH's chest

i mean the smaller ones

that its useless

Oh

However you can check out the icy veins guide

There's a ranking there for the minor ones aswell

#

I mean, typically just avoid the defensive ones and azerite globules and you should be ok

thats not too bad

Sea brawler is the 2nd best vendor helmet

So that's not bad at all

or actually vamp speed is also nice

strong forum
#

Issue with globules is, if the target has 2 stacks, and the target dies, it doesn't do any dmg

warm plinth
#

Yeah vamp speed is really good in M+ but personally I always take RP if it's there. Reduced damage > healing damage

strong forum
#

I prefer RP as it has value in actual combat, vamp speed only does stuff when the pull is about to end

isn't it still upgrade as it's 5ilvls over cara?

rain hare
#

why does people uses devastator over booming voice?

warm plinth
#

Single target raid fights for damage

rain hare
#

so mostly on all raid fights, it's viable

warm plinth
#

I'm not a raid expert but there aren't many that are pure ST

rain hare
#

close to everyone in top 100 in raid dmg is using it

#

that's why i was wondering if it's worth it

warm plinth
#

Depends on the fight I guess; I think the WCL person has done a lot to combat padding in this tier so if it's a fight where add damage is disabled for example, they might use it there

rain hare
#

hmm okay, ty a lot

warm plinth
#

If you're worried about parsing and the top 100 of a boss are using x talent, you can probably be pretty sure it's the better option

#

for damage of course

rain hare
#

at the moment im just trying to progress so i'll stick to booming voice

#

cuz i've been using it since the start of BFA

#

will try devastator on clear runs

novel ruin
#

For someone who wants to press a button every GCD devastator feels horrible

Conflict strife major is so underrated Jesus

With full verse build and aegis, in a big ass pull if you interrupt something holy fuck

You don't need to interrupt to proc double vers

Underrated no

#

Overvalued for 99.5% of people yes

In a 23, water blasts kind of tickle if they go through.

#

Should be getting double vers everytime you clap

#

With major

limpid pawn
#

Oh word that’s true

This double verse tho, it’s amped right?

chilly brook

Amped as in affected by vers corruption?

limpid pawn
#

Yes

chilly brook
#

Why wouldn't it be

limpid pawn
#

Ok, that is just absurdly OP lol

chilly brook
#

I guess

#

It's not like all tanks dont have access to it

#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#

It's just mainly something that lacks application a majority of the time

limpid pawn
#

Wars have an easier time activating this double verse right

chilly brook
#

Meh

limpid pawn
#

I also have full verse on my brew, but it feels much stronger on earth

#

War

chilly brook
#

Warrior is just a solid tank

#

Has little to do with conflict major

#

You're also comparing to BrM a tank that I honestly feel is completely overvalued and not as good as people think

limpid pawn
#

Comparing some huge pulls in 23 freehold, when blocking with like minimal verse you still actually take threatening damage in fortified

#

When you’re versatiled out, same pulls do like 0 damage lol

chilly brook
#

That is how vers works

#

It is a flat DR

#

But you're also sacrificing a lot of damage potential

limpid pawn
#

Yeah, and in shrine it changed it from getting two shot by the blasts to being able to take like 4 or more easily

#

Assuming they go through

chilly brook
#

You're also in the key range where it actually starts having a use

I tried it in some 22s, they were not too bad either IMO, like it did give us much more room for error

@chilly brook what are your thoughts on Bear and BDKs in your opinion. BDKs seem like everyone wants them some for their magic mitigation, but AMS is on a 1 min CD where as spell reflect imo is up faster

cns is straight up better
sphere is more stats if you dont have 6 (or something) or more mobs around you at all times

For the most part, yeah

what if we dont have cns?

Lucid is really good (and fun too) but you always want Vision in some capacity.

Well, warden is for the corruption resistance

If you don't need the CR, then replace it with something else. But I would end up using Sphere over Aegis probably (unless I was doing high enough keys to vers stack)

Hey

sweet summit
#

hello

tropic nexus
#

I was wondering about some stats and how they might affect the aspect of the game I am planning to play

#

So I want to boost +12-15's, in which requires me to help out with damage especially AOE on those low keys. Therefore I was wondering what stat stack would be best and with what corruptions in which would match that.

sweet summit
#

ilvl>haste>crit (can sim for dps), loads of twilight dev

#

okay, but I read that mastery is good for aoe

#

or do I just depend on td to do that for me

you get enough mastery through bastion trait

so its not as valued for us

the only offensive benefit mastery gives is attack power

are you doing content where you need the vers

@sweet summit Thx for the quick answer, but im looking for something more specific to be precise, Shield block does block abilities and attacks in the same way a parry does?

still pagoda
#

man

#

please

#

you've confused me

cedar vessel
#

or do they work different?

sweet summit
#

i literally said exactly how it works

#

i dont know whats confusing about

parry stops damage and potential debuffs completely
block just decreases damage you take

warm plinth
#

Dodging and parrying completely avoid the attack; they basically make it so the attack never happened. No damage happens, no effects that that attack would have applied happens.

#

Blocking is, from a general perspective, not much different than popping Shield Wall, except it can crit and reduce damage by more.

#

And only works on blockable attacks

sick sentinel
#

but the good news is that a crapload of abilities are melee and thus blockable

warm plinth
#

Yeah in dungeons especially, it's pretty much "is this magic? no? then it's blockable" lol.

sweet summit
#

there is blockable magic damage somewhere, right

sick sentinel
#

a parry also, has advantage, that it resets enemy melee swing timer, and it can activate free revenge button

#

only pally block spell

#

warrio can reflect it

fierce bobcat
#

if my lowest 2 pieces are trinket and shield, if I pug a nyalotha, i should roll on vita, humming, and any shield available?

sick sentinel
#

which is even better. but the spell has to spefically target u, and u alone, (best example period shadow bolt/frostbolt/firebolt)

#

so, say it hits u for 500k, and u reflect it correctly, it does 500k to him instead

warm plinth
#

There have been a few instances of blockable spells (or otherwise avoidable) but I can't think of one off the top of my head in BFA dungeons

#

The eels in ToS in Legion on the Mistress fight did shadow damage with their melees but were still blockable

#

I am pretty sure that you can parry Jaina's icebolts or whatever they're called

#

They show up as deflects iirc in the logs

sweet summit
#

yeah

stiff inlet
#

What’s the correct way to spell reflect?

warm plinth
#

Press spell reflect before the spell casts

sweet summit
#

to reflect a spell or for 20% Dr

sick sentinel
#

wait for the spell to cast and the refelct?

fierce bobcat
#

speaking of reflect - I can reflect the vision mage boss sheep to avoid it right?

warm plinth
#

Yes

sweet summit
#

yep

stiff inlet
#

During the cast or before the cast is started?

warm plinth
#

During the cast is fine

#

Just before it finishes

stiff inlet
#

Gotcha thanks

sick sentinel
#

bro, i need to rename my toon "spellreflectonCD"

fierce bobcat
#

sweet, got the 5 mask org relatively easy last week, this one will be harder to finish achieve

warm plinth
#

As long as the 5 second buff is still up when the spell hits you, it's fine

stiff inlet
#

So even spell travel time is a factor

warm plinth
#

Not really

stiff inlet
#

Like warlock chaos bolts?

fierce bobcat
#

for chaos bolts i believe you have to reflect before spell cast finishes, mid-air it hits you

warm plinth
#

I am not 100% on this but I am pretty sure once a successful cast has gone off, it's too late to reflect it

#

You have to cast it before the cast bar finishes

sweet summit
#

correct

sick sentinel
#

whenever the numbers show up that u got hit, is when it will reflect, so say u are casting a fireball at me, and i reflect it, that fireball will bounce of my shield right back at u, and u will get any fire dmg it would have done, or debuffs such as burning

#

u can send back curses, debuffs, and all sorts of things, not just dmg

stiff inlet
#

Awesome thanks for the breakdown fellas

#

It replaces the buff instead

distant crystal
#

wait if your highest stat changes during force multi proc

#

you just get an additional secondary buff?

warm plinth
#

Yep

sweet summit
distant crystal
#

for the remaining duration?

warm plinth
#

Yep

#

Well, it's a separate proc

#

So e.g. if you proc force outside of Avatar, you get haste

cinder nova
#

So, how do we know it sims better if it doesn't sim proper?

warm plinth
#

Then if you use Avatar, you'd get mastery but keep haste

#

It doesn't sim better

#

Because it doesn't sim properly

strong forum
#

Because it already Sims better

#

Without working properly.

sweet summit
#

Vers nav sims higher for me too

#

🤷

warm plinth

It doesn't sim better for me either

But rocking force

anyone have the simc enchant_id's

for the relevant weap enchants

offhand? 😄

sweet summit
#

Click view all enchants

cinder nova
#

That still raises the question on how we know if it's better if it's not simming properly, especially if the consensus seems to be that it doesn't sim higher even when broken.

sweet summit
#

And sim it?

#

Math

cinder nova
#

That's not a very helpful answer.

#

Because the answer to why most things are is math.

sweet summit

strong forum
#

If you're rocking vers amps, ofc vers nav will give you more dps

#

Cuz you get 2x the value out of vers nav

cinder nova
#

I'm TD6

woven trellis

so i still dont know how to enchant my weapon tho

cinder nova
#

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that since you're getting multiple buffs that it accounts for more stats over ideal stats.

@woven trellis buy enchant from AH, apply to weapon

The shield would be like a 120k absorb at least

cinder nova
#

@strong forum Is Force better because it theoretically will have more stats for a longer uptime than Vers Nav?

distant crystal
#

interesting, same for 3 target patch

strong forum
#

Force mult grants high uptime on good Str and your highest secondary stat

#

Without variance

distant crystal
#

vers nav gives you like double the vers if you're running amps

cinder nova
#

Is it best for DPS?

strong forum
#

Now given that force mult can't give you vers, it'll always give you haste

#

And during avatar it can proc mastery ontop the haste proc

#

Resulting in 2x the secondary stats

woven trellis
#

@woven trellis buy enchant from AH, apply to weapon
@sweet summit i meant how to decide what to put on it

strong forum
#

Prior to this patch it was always the dominant enchant

sweet summit
#

Force multi

#

Ez

#

No need to think

strong forum
#

Now with vers increasing corruption dmg and the ever scaling neck level I can't say for certain anymore if that still applies

distant crystal
#

force is showing 49% uptime on haste and 8.5% on mast

#

in sim, is that going to be more mast in practice?

strong forum
#

Ya but thats exclusive to each other

#

And more haste

#

Just slap a dummy for a while

sweet summit
#

Wait what does neck level have to do with weapon enchants? The influx of the ither secondaries compared to vers?

cinder nova
#

I'm not beating my wife.

strong forum
#

For like 10min, and you'll see the better percentages in uptime

#

If you have dmg procs from neck, vers increases those too

distant crystal

#

But since we're tanks we don't really get those

We normally dont run those tho

Ya I had pulls when coral did like 1.5k-2k dps

hi, im averaging 40k dps with a focus on haste and crit and ilvl 470 on a m+ run

#

what kind of boost will i have from TD

#

i dont have td for now

main vault
#

A bunch

tribal barn
#

For keys around 15-20 should I be running more haste/crit gear? I’m full haste/vers without corruptions, hoping when td comes up I can just toss a couple on for dps

novel ruin
#

Yes, haste/crit

tribal barn
#

Ah that’s what I was afraid of, alright thanks. At what key level would you start stacking vers?

main vault
#

Only when you need it

#

There is no specific key level

novel ruin

Could transition to haste/vers gear around 22/23 and go full vers corruption 24s

#

I see almost no high rio warriors using the carapace 490 shoulders. For a vers% build are the 480 skitra shoulders really that much better?

woven trellis
#

hi

#

probably they didnt drop it?

#

i mean

#

its basically the same azerite traits

#

unless heart of darkness would be that good?

hallow phoenix
#

Skitra shoulders you can BoM, HoD, OP, IV

#

Cara is like DC, BoM, Heed my call, resounding

#

obviously you can get another HoD on like second sight helm

woven trellis
#

yeah well, BoM is by far the most important no?

#

so id say BoM+ ilvl gain is enough

hallow phoenix
#

thats what im thinking

#

just find it hard to believe none of them have the cara shoulders, cause they all have nzoth helm lol

woven trellis
#

i see

hallow phoenix
#

with vers%, HoD is about 411 raw stats

woven trellis
#

yeah, if ure full vers maybe

#

actually thats a pretty good question

#

since im not Vers build, should i favor HoD over Iron fortress?

hallow phoenix
#

yes

#

HoD is big

#

even without any stat amps

#

oh

#

i know why theyre doing it

#

Nzoth helm forces you to go DC + BoM as well

#

and its slightly better than cara shoulders

#

so instead of double DC or something weird like IF they're going skitra shoulders for BoM + HoD

woven trellis
#

i mean

#

85 secondary stats

#

how is that so big

#

i dont get it

hallow phoenix
#

it's 85*4

woven trellis
#

yeah

#

but

hallow phoenix
#

85 to each secondary

woven trellis
#

1000 block supplementary

#
  • mmore dmg
hallow phoenix
#

340 stats is big

woven trellis
#

is not bad either

hallow phoenix
#

IF damage is barely noticeable

woven trellis
#

when ure tanking loads of mobs

hallow phoenix
#

340 raw stats is

woven trellis
#

but like, a shield has 10k block

#

1k more is a not no?

#

a lot

#

i mean

hallow phoenix
#

IF is good, but HoD will help you against scarier things like spell damage or unblockable things

#

also contributes more to your shield block uptime, and into the fray works with HoD

woven trellis
#

yeah ok

#

we can see it that way

hallow phoenix
#

stats are huge, thats why we go ilvl > stats generally

woven trellis
#

well we go ilvl over secondary stats because of strength

#

i think?

#

idk honestly i dont understand this very well

#

ima good sheep

hallow phoenix
#

we go ilvl over specific stats because defensively each stat is quite close in value

#

more stats > better stats, and this includes strength and armor to a lesser degree

#

but e.g. 150 mastery 100 crit would be better than 100 haste 100 vers

#

for general use

#

same reason feast food is suggested over other foods in most guides

woven trellis
#

for rings u favor haste over ilvl

#

so its not quite true

last mason
#

can u still get anything from oneshotting everything in mythic TOV

hallow phoenix
#

some people favor haste on rings

#

i would drop at most 10 ilvls on ring

woven trellis
#

like

#

i know Verse Build isnt necessary to do less than 23

#

but is it going to be easier

#

with a verse build

#

to do +20 and +21s?

hallow phoenix
#

Vers will make mistakes less punishing

#

so yes it will make it easier

#

but you take a significant loss in dps on some packs

#

i dont bother swapping to TD if my group goes to do a 21 or 22 or something

woven trellis
#

but vers adds up dmg as well

#

how good is a verse build like, lets say a fully optimized verse build ilvl 465 (except cloak and neck ofc) would be tankier than a haste crit 475?

hallow phoenix
#

yes, because the vers build uses vers% corruptions

#

to reach 80-100% / 40-50% vers values in combat

#

people recommend TD before like 23+ because you dont need the tankiness

#

but it definitely wont hold you back

serene linden
#

for corruptions, whats the typical go to? are proc (TD, IS, MF) corruptions or passive stat % increases better?

hallow phoenix
#

TD and 2xIT1 are the go-to

serene linden
#

thanks

Skitra shoulders are better mostly because of IV and thats kinda OP trait

Is the Skitra health boost a bug too and was it fixed?

Healer has to perma los

Or well everyone but you

Otherwise you'll never get the debuff

suggested that he should stay behind other lol spot

its not something to try in pugs unless you put down a marker for them to stand on and stay LoS

but he stood on me

los spot

so if were by the end of bride

#

i stay left los spot

#

healer right

#

could that work?

raven wasp
#

i mean can't you just be on the bridge with it they're all LoS then you Spell reflect then they can try to do something

#

idk i've never pulled the guy on any real key to much of a hassle for just 4%

orchid frigate
#

then i get the storm thingy?

raven wasp
#

if you're the only person that can be targeted it should go on you, its the only way unless you just get lucky seems like alot of coordination for 4% but to each there own

orchid frigate
#

i guess youre right. too much hassle in pugs

#

will save it till i go with guildies/friends

#

with voice

raven wasp
#

yea in pugs i do the most basic pulls i can to get full % and in time, might not even pull big depending on how they play. BUT if you are gonna try some fancy SR stuff either you're in coms with them or they're gonna interupt the second you pop SR

#

9/10 times SR does nothing in pug groups pop it and no casts go through bc they blew everything to cc the mobs so you're just sittin pretty for 6 secs

orchid frigate
#

im used to having my SR interrupted 🙂

#

i just throw it in there without any expectations

raven wasp
#

tis very sad indeed 😢

orchid frigate
#

even with my OP SR macro

#

btw

#

worst thing with shrine has to be the attendants

#

cant pull big with those araound

raven wasp
#

same friend same.... and attendants are tough but if you're in coms it makes it a breeze, Shrine is that key that i'll suggest disc on like a 15 bc if kicks are shit in there its gonna be a bad time

#

in coms its just * SR first and then X person kicks skull* it is VERY juicy getting the double attendant water blast on pull

#

with SR*

🙂

Spell reflecting first and third boss shrine is also a good feeling. That dungeon is the warrior dream imo

Hey - can I ask, I'm 468 mainly focusing on m+, I just got hc titanshard (with socket) and can use it over 460 Vial of Animated Blood or 455 Rezans? (Titanshard takes me from 15% vers to 19%)

raven wasp
#

it 100% can be only if you're in coordinated group if you're no coms in a pug might as well take SR off your bar or just wait til all interuptts and stuns have been used

hallow phoenix

Don't bother with void titanshard

#

Both your other trinkets are far better

eager vessel
#

even losing 4% vers?

hallow phoenix

Yep

The void shard has awful uptime on the buff, making it essentially read "gain some vers and about 1300 hps"

So many better trinkets than that

do you guys sometimes get jebaited when you wanna eat and your char doesnt sit but starts to eat anyway and you wasted 1 meal?

#

TD prio for bdks yes @wary beacon but IT is terrible and they don't really care about stats

#

You kinda just want vers + w/e

#

Afaik

#

Probable been asked multiple times but i cant find clear enough answer: is there a point where we stop looking for haste and going for crit ? I’ve read 22%, not planning on pushing where vers is requiered. Thanks a lot

#

Na haste doesn't have a falloff

silk edge
#

Damage wise

strong forum
#

Not a reachable one*

#

In aoe haste becomes better dps wise than crit

#

In ST crit is quite valuable

#

So if you wanna max dps just stack haste/crit gear, and socket+enchant everything to haste

#

Ok well i bought crit enchants for nothing 🙃 Thanks a lot mate 👍🏻

strong forum
#

Crit enchants is really only smth maybe fury does

silk edge
#

Well is not that expensiv anyway

#

@strong forum IT ? sry what does that means 🙂 ? , and stat wise? ver? not haste crit? (talking mainly about 15-20 keys)

silk edge
#

Ineffable truth

strong forum
#

I'm no expert on bdk, but I think they don't want haste, I think want vers crit

#

But they really don't have a strong stat prio

#

It's literally just ilvl for them

#

Completely ignoring everything

#

Outside of high keys ofc

Can you block when using azerite beam after taking it with formless void?

strong forum
#

Nop

#

During all kind of casting or channeled abilities you can't block/dodge/parry

Blooddrinker is probably an exception because Blizzard developed a tiny conscience. They were like we took everything else, might as well let them parry during a 2 second channel

blooddrinker would be unusable if it worked like normal channels

Hello guys! (I’m new here so sorry if you’ve already talked bout this.) I just started playing 5mo ago as rogue but switched to prot halfway and its my main now. I’m having a blast atm with thunder clomps, love big aoe dmg since I focus on M+. Is that going away in SL? This will be the first exp I’ll experience from the start and I’m scared of all the bad talk pw is getting.

#

TLDR: Wait for prepatch and numbers to even think of AOE capabilities

#

most of bad talk is going from bad players ngl

I have played around in beta and it feels different but not terrible

In general, the Thunder Clap spam is going to go away, yes due to various talent/spell changes.
We will have more CD's via Ravager/BV/Dragon Roar/Avatar to line up together and the Covenants/legendaries look promising.
It will play differently than now but i'd encourage you to just try out the SL prot as well before hanging it in the closet. 🙂

Sounds weird talking about Ravager in a positive note.

It is a glorious thing

It was fun but mostly for memes

#

Thunder Clap rooting resto druids when they are trying to kite you in travel form is hilarious, especially when you root them mid-wild charge

For some reason i like playing stuff that is "bad" and something that not alot of players play 😛

#

Not trying to push any high ratings either

mellow patio
#

Then by all means go for it

#

I play prot in bgs for the lulz

sick sentinel
#

Depends, if you're going to do 25ish keys then yeah vers is the way to go, if you're not even gonna touch range of 20, go full vers with 2x IT
