I've heard that you cannot get mechagon azerite from vendor
Na vivv, that was in 8.2
oh
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!
as last thing i take bulwark right?
cause the movement shit is useless
Bulwark is meh aswell
Doesn't really matter what you pick on those 2
Neither has any impact
You guys are so troll with haste stacking over vers
Ya im big dum apparently
What are you even talking about
Even if you're vers stacking, you run haste/vers gear
tru 
Like what
You should promote davidan to theorycrafter, things that he says are so wise
There was a question about buff food and flask
And now people are talking about gear stacking for some reason
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
isn't non feast better for pandas tho?
@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?
Absolutely
i can post pictures if needed
Yeah but feast will overwrite it if you use it
Unless it's vers food
The sugar-crusted feast btw
oh that feast
Yeah
and im tkaing elemntal whirl and moment of lgory right
Nzoth heroic helmet is only trumped by Abyssal Malevolence, Sea Brawler Greathelm and Mythic raid helmets
@steep star huh?
?
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 
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
And skitra is easy to get ( maybe not anymore cuz buffed by 40% hp)
Meanwhile my war has like perfect azerite
how do i find out what traits are in general best for m+ as tank warrior? is there a site for it
or just experience
3x bom 1x dc 2x w/e
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
but its not abyssal pepelaff
Overwhelming Power and Unstable Flames are just about the same level and you should take them if you can get them
I'm rocking that S3 BiS right now
so close from bis yet so far
abyssal, ashvane, kraken shell
Pog
But hey not bad for all 480s on an alt I do weekly 15-16s on lol
We s1/s2/s3 now Bois
Umm im, globules?
Maybe not s1 but you get it
Now if only I could replace my 445 rezan 
Earthlink
I'd take earthlink there
Issue with globules is, if the target has 2 stacks, and the target dies, it doesn't do any dmg
Yeah vamp speed is really good in M+ but personally I always take RP if it's there. Reduced damage > healing damage
I prefer RP as it has value in actual combat, vamp speed only does stuff when the pull is about to end
Ye azerite gives mad hp
and that's what i got from gambling shoulders, small upgrade over cara one aye?
Upgrade over Heroic Cara if you already have DC on another piece?
i do on head
so bom, clockwork or maybe brace for impact? (ive only 465 shield), ele whirl and self reliance?
I would take clockwork
Clockwork and rallying cry one
kay
we're extending until nzoth is ded so i can only get gambled ones
isn't it still upgrade as it's 5ilvls over cara?
why does people uses devastator over booming voice?
Single target raid fights for damage
so mostly on all raid fights, it's viable
I'm not a raid expert but there aren't many that are pure ST
close to everyone in top 100 in raid dmg is using it
that's why i was wondering if it's worth it
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
hmm okay, ty a lot
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
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
For someone who wants to press a button every GCD devastator feels horrible
@steep bone the tank buster pauldrons are even better than carapace mythic shoulders. The only shoulder pair that's better than tank busters are skitra shoulders
meticulous scheming or bfi?
ms
can you tell which boss the aerial unit will be over in junkyard before you start? is it on a weekly schedule, or is it random?
@strong forum that's great 😄
Conflict strife major is so underrated Jesus
With full verse build and aegis, in a big ass pull if you interrupt something holy fuck
Your DR is like 50% lol
I mean
You don't need to interrupt to proc double vers
In a 23, water blasts kind of tickle if they go through.
Amped as in affected by vers corruption?
Yes
Why wouldn't it be
Ok, that is just absurdly OP lol
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
Wars have an easier time activating this double verse right
Meh
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
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
That is how vers works
It is a flat DR
But you're also sacrificing a lot of damage potential
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
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
vision gave me my last vers item for free 🙂 incl socket and vers III
so what ill do with my last versIII that layed on the bank for that slot ... hmm put on 2nd weapon for a 58 corr build?
@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
They're both fine
Blood can be sketch in higher keys without vers
But fine
I mean like I'm maining a vengeance DH atm soooo
I mained VDH at the end of WOD and all of legion until I came back in BFA, they are fun.
Tbh just play what you like because unless you're world first level it won't matter
I hear ya, 100%
at last something usable
@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
@split wyvern
BDK is usually wanted for utility and partial healer independence)
but really
play what you like
@split wyvern all the tanks right now are pretty good tbh
hi, my build isnt versa, its Haste critic
between a ring 460 400 hate and 200 versa
and a ring 465 200 hate 400 versa
which one do u wear
the one with more haste tbh
k
i finally had enough titan residuum to get a 475 piece
but it has no bastion of might
should i stick to my 465?
if its an ilvl upgrade, its an upgrade
i have brace for impact bloodsport blightborne infusion and callous reprisal
do i go brace for impact + callous?
im going to be left with only 1 bastion of might out of my 3 azerite pieces
will i feel it in my dungeons?
eathlink, guttripper, crystalline carapace, everything looks shitty on this piece xd
take vamp seed
ok
S E E D
watched some nerftank videos and he gets wings now and then, what is that?
wrathion trinket
gotcha, thanks
would u get Bloodsport
over a 2nd deafening crash
now thats its nerf
?
or is bloodsport that bad
DC is more damage. Bloodsport isn’t.
What is a solid major essence for sanguine week im guessing conflict aint the best choice
lucid or vision
speaking of vision what essence package would u build for m+tank with critc haste build doint +10 to +20 keys
+15 to +20
vision major
CnS+Lucid+Sphere/Warden
u guys dont use aegis of the deep?
cns is straight up better
sphere is more stats if you dont have 6 (or something) or more mobs around you at all times
lucid is just very very good at feeding into am
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.
aegis i guess, but get cns if possible
i wasnt trying to chose between CNS and WARDEN, but between Aegis of the deep an dWARDEN
might have to grind it out on lock - already have r2
always cns tbh
thanks, didnt mean to jump in mid convo
no worries mate
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)
o i see
well i dont have enough corruption to put on my stuff anyway for now
im tired of Dani losing his treasure
every goddam day
In secret phase on nzoth on that add, do tank have to swap on it or nope? I can't find any info
i don't recall it slapping tanks too hard really
secret phase is p easy
long as people get their disarms and dodge swirlies
You’ll have to swap
Applies a healing absorb which i guess you could just have your healers heal through it without dying but why would you
second pull in a row we got to the toilet 😮
Blizzard is keeping me in this game until I get my mount
They know I won’t log on once I get it
So they are punishing me
What mount, good luck by the way hope ya get it
n'zoth mount would be better if you didn't ride on top of it
turn me into it like hivemind plz and ty
whats the optimal usage for concentrated flame?
on cooldown but dont use it when the major dot is active
actually secret phase is a joke
yep
tfw a rogue uses tricks on you when he tries to do a pull away for obelisk in AD...
inting
Hey
hello
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.
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
what essences should i run for 15-20 keys?
vision major
CnS+Lucid+Sphere/Warden minors
ty
if i have to switch to null barrier for a magic heavy key which essence should i remove?
only null for workshop and maybe motherlode tyrannical?
and youd swap sphere
but null in shrine is bait
ty
Optimal way to grind CnS Major as a Prot War player?
find a healer
spec arms
press mortal strike
win
get 1.6k
cap conquest through CtA/assaults/etv
^
don't forget to press bladestorm
and play with friends
arena is actually a blast with friends
What should I take for my boosting purposes?
what
Essences ^^
ye
vita or bust blyat
hello. may i ask qst here?
ask
sure
how much is enough haste, so i know when to stack vers
never enough haste
first of all, do you need to stack vers?
the more the better
yeah dont have good gear yet
15+ and HC
so you dont
then you want ilvl>haste>crit
but if you really want to stack vers
go ahead
i just can not recommend it
you only need verse when you are dying to mechanics that you perfectly played around
and that only occurs in keys into the mid 20s
ok i get it, thanks
Guys can somebody give me a hand and tell me whats the difference between parry and block?
parry stops damage and potential debuffs completely
block just decreases damage you take
not all attacks are blockable, most are
@sweet summit IL>azerite traits too?
you only drop ilvl for your first DC trait, and only 15 ilvls at that
@sweet summit thanks 🙂
@still pagoda What addon/WA is that for placing the raid targets on the ground?
Thanks I'll check it out
@still pagoda What addon/WA is that for placing the raid targets on the ground?
@rancid ember
WUT?
Top left next to your Brez WA
oPie is pretty nice for marks
parry stops damage and potential debuffs completely
block just decreases damage you take
@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?
or do they work different?
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
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
but the good news is that a crapload of abilities are melee and thus blockable
Yeah in dungeons especially, it's pretty much "is this magic? no? then it's blockable" lol.
there is blockable magic damage somewhere, right
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
if my lowest 2 pieces are trinket and shield, if I pug a nyalotha, i should roll on vita, humming, and any shield available?
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
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
yeah
What’s the correct way to spell reflect?
Press spell reflect before the spell casts
to reflect a spell or for 20% Dr
wait for the spell to cast and the refelct?
speaking of reflect - I can reflect the vision mage boss sheep to avoid it right?
Yes
yep
During the cast or before the cast is started?
Gotcha thanks
bro, i need to rename my toon "spellreflectonCD"
sweet, got the 5 mask org relatively easy last week, this one will be harder to finish achieve
As long as the 5 second buff is still up when the spell hits you, it's fine
So even spell travel time is a factor
Not really
Like warlock chaos bolts?
for chaos bolts i believe you have to reflect before spell cast finishes, mid-air it hits you
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
correct
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
Awesome thanks for the breakdown fellas
sec
Sorry for a potentially dumb question, but can prots do anything on arena? If so, with who and till what rating you can climb?
maybe if u load them up with max hp buffs and like td 13 or something
When was the last time African Turtle Cleave worked lmao
@stiff inlet i can't find it, but someone on this discord has a gdocs of all the spells that can be parried, blocked, and reflected.
if im going for a defensive setup, is tradewinds better or is iron fortress betteR?
IF
Can you only get gear once a week from Horrific Visions?
Yogi I’ve seen it thanks!
Once a week per tier of Horrific Vision
So 5-mask loot once per week
If you complete another 5-mask it will give you the next tier down
Which is 465?
Yep
Do they drop any slot or just armor? I haven't seen rings, so.
No rings/trinkets/weapons
What's that point?
460 iirc
@sweet summit 
my new co-tank got beta 10 minutes ago
i think it's the 3mask and below that can drop azerite
now i can poke him about prot warr stuff everyday
Furry time
@sweet summit
Now i need 40k worth of crit amps and getti
Newbie here, should threat be an issue at 440 with 470 dhs destroying packs in keys? Or am I playing wrong? Some packs are just running wild and I lose my mind.
dumb DH's pull agro no matter what
Just get 475 geti from box @still pagoda :)
I got uhh haste crit belt with sock
Lol ok thanks
Not an upgrade 
Also no azerite past a certain point
@mellow patio What's really fun is getting 460 azerite for your 5 mask
^
I've been fairly lucky; it's only happened to me twice. But it's bullshit that it's even possible.
is there a consensus on the best weapon enchant
force multi
Isn't versatile nav better for DPS?
Forcemulti undersims
As in, it doesn't sim properly?
It doesn't account for the additional buff when your highest stat changes, which ours does frequently
It replaces the buff instead
wait if your highest stat changes during force multi proc
you just get an additional secondary buff?
Yep
for the remaining duration?
Yep
Well, it's a separate proc
So e.g. if you proc force outside of Avatar, you get haste
So, how do we know it sims better if it doesn't sim proper?
Then if you use Avatar, you'd get mastery but keep haste
It doesn't sim better
Because it doesn't sim properly
It doesn't sim better for me either
But rocking force
Click view all enchants
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.
That's not a very helpful answer.
Because the answer to why most things are is math.
😎
If you're rocking vers amps, ofc vers nav will give you more dps
Cuz you get 2x the value out of vers nav
I'm TD6
so i still dont know how to enchant my weapon tho
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.
How is void titanshard for vers stacking prot?
Terrible
It's butts. The proc is useless.
Heck
Void 
I wanted to believe in the meme
@woven trellis buy enchant from AH, apply to weapon
Having a dead stat stick is never worth
The shield would be like a 120k absorb at least
@strong forum Is Force better because it theoretically will have more stats for a longer uptime than Vers Nav?
interesting, same for 3 target patch
Force mult grants high uptime on good Str and your highest secondary stat
Without variance
vers nav gives you like double the vers if you're running amps
Is it best for DPS?
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 buy enchant from AH, apply to weapon
@sweet summit i meant how to decide what to put on it
Prior to this patch it was always the dominant enchant
Now with vers increasing corruption dmg and the ever scaling neck level I can't say for certain anymore if that still applies
force is showing 49% uptime on haste and 8.5% on mast
in sim, is that going to be more mast in practice?
Ya but thats exclusive to each other
And more haste
Just slap a dummy for a while
Wait what does neck level have to do with weapon enchants? The influx of the ither secondaries compared to vers?
I'm not beating my wife.
For like 10min, and you'll see the better percentages in uptime
If you have dmg procs from neck, vers increases those too
But since we're tanks we don't really get those
But even in s3 vers had some dmg good dmg increase going for it cuz of neck
Ya boi got Beta
Raid testing tomorrow
After you restart client ye
Yeah but make sure to close launcher first
Vers nav was siming higher for me in ep
But i tjink thats cos inkpod
rip
ppl sleep on the actual dmg coral did
i've had it beat other dmg trinkets in overall dmg, not even considering the crit lol
Iirc for like blood dk it was worth never extracting or something?
Ya I had pulls when coral did like 1.5k-2k dps
bdk and guardian would just extract ~10sec before mob dies
or w/e the duration of the buff is
Yeah 20 sec
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
A bunch
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
Yes, haste/crit
Ah that’s what I was afraid of, alright thanks. At what key level would you start stacking vers?
Could transition to haste/vers gear around 22/23 and go full vers corruption 24s
when properly executed pulls still result in death
Fair enough, thanks guys
@still pagoda 21 wcm 
depleto by 1;45min
we got 20workshop
already have 2 475 weapons and these azerites
keksimus maximus
and we timed 20td before
was actually pog but my route is giga scuffed
its same tier as mine
@still pagoda @steep bone what is ur toons name on rio, would love to check their setup 🙂
what is the max td that is should stack on my self? (my cloak cap)
im scuffed war tho
what is the max td that is should stack on my self? (my cloak cap)
@wary beacon
as much as you can
should i use cas rank 2 as minor?
(not gonna start to grind for r3 so late in the game now)
hate pvp 😛 sry
1600 is like you tunnel one target and u get it
1600
is like
you get your drunk DK friend
and a healer friend
who's a total drunkard
get few beers yourself
lol but then need to wait like 3 weeks
and go smash some buttons and executes
lol but then need to wait like 3 weeks
While also doing more arena like this*
well you can just cap with assaults

maybe will dive in this shit bahhh
ty guyz
memory of lucid or aegis of the deep?
*minor

Mwahi is solly
wcm owns
yo, why aren't people using like 1 rank 3 surging vitality?
stability
or will that possibly become meta once we get to max cloak level
like brew masters are going all versatile with 1 surging 3
no one knows
nice
Maybe now u can do a +7!
My best TD is a 17 cuz I can't be bothered with that PoS dungeon
this is still on my fucking profile :^(
Come to EU
We can make it happen here
😁
I have one turboscuffed pala on the horizon
Which i need to level up first
avatar can get rid of wrathion debuff right?
yea
Taking multiple td2's the same as a couple td3's?
Scuffed alt keys only work if you have scuffed alts @warm plinth and I’ll have you know I have several
I don't really have any unless they're GIGA scuffed
Well, that's not entirely true
My pally and druid are still fairly scuffed
My monk is as scuffed as we left him 😎
should i use null barrier on workshop?
nah, lots of the magic damage is avoidable
do you guys like sigil of warding?
I'm a new Prot Warrior, only 453 ilvl currently. Should I be stacking vers gems and enchants or sticking with haste for now?
What level keys are you aiming to do on that character?
right now probably up to 10-12 until I get geared enough to do higher
I imagine a couple weeks of low keys
Unless you will eventually be doing like 23+, there's no reason to go for vers ever
Just do ilevel>haste>crit for stats, stack TD with IT1x2 and have fun deleting things.
gotcha, so not even on the corruptions? Stick with TD...yeah what you said 🙂
thanks!
No problem
Anyone have a good video/pathing guide for the Psychus fight? The guide I used had me go to Nzoth’s right on First Psychus but my group wanted to go left and basically insisted I follow their path. Want to know if there’s a more common route than starting to the right, hooking out to the edge and working back to the bodies.
I got absolutely waxed by Nzoth and I’d like to uhh not have that happen again
When you say first, you mean before the portal?
Ilvl 430 currently fury but I want to start gearing protection. Should I get a decent sword and board and que m0 or is there a better way to go about it
Okay
I had the same issue previously. A lot of groups prefer to pull left on the first psychus. @torpid pagoda
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?
hi
probably they didnt drop it?
i mean
its basically the same azerite traits
unless heart of darkness would be that good?
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
yeah well, BoM is by far the most important no?
so id say BoM+ ilvl gain is enough
thats what im thinking
just find it hard to believe none of them have the cara shoulders, cause they all have nzoth helm lol
i see
with vers%, HoD is about 411 raw stats
yeah, if ure full vers maybe
actually thats a pretty good question
since im not Vers build, should i favor HoD over Iron fortress?
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
it's 85*4
85 to each secondary
340 stats is big
is not bad either
IF damage is barely noticeable
when ure tanking loads of mobs
340 raw stats is
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
stats are huge, thats why we go ilvl > stats generally
well we go ilvl over secondary stats because of strength
i think?
idk honestly i dont understand this very well
ima good sheep
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
can u still get anything from oneshotting everything in mythic TOV
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?
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
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?
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
for corruptions, whats the typical go to? are proc (TD, IS, MF) corruptions or passive stat % increases better?
TD and 2xIT1 are the go-to
thanks
Skitra shoulders are better mostly because of IV and thats kinda OP trait
I just made an alt warrior, how important is the Alchemist stone? Seems like almost all M+ Warriors are using it
That is for highest keys prolly better off with haste trinkets
alch stone is for ppl running vers amp build
but even for them it's not super necessary
alch trinket big if running vers amp build watchu talkin bout
It’s like a full piece of gear worth of vers it is really good for vers builds
Alch stone is akin to a vers ring with enchant and socket
Mwahi isn't an alpha
damn dude
Mwalpha
Also should I go Fury/Arms for Horrific Visions instead of Prot? I assume Fury would probably be pretty good with the sustain?
Frustrating in raid when blood DK tank is dishing out more dps and high on the healing charts...
Anything works
Prot with twilight dev anihilates anything
Ofc a bdk is higher on hps meter?
kind of their whole defensive gimmick
They dish great dps too
They dont, TD does
True
if i want to solo the elemental on bridge in SotS do we need to clear the room behind us in order to los?
The room with runecarver? No
so rest of grup can just stand a bit back?
Just have to be mindful
Yeah I believe you can los back there without pulling runecarver
sweet thanks
If anything you could even do it from the other side
hmm but risk of pulling the patrol?
kk ty
What spell Do we reflect?
The targeted dot
Aight
No you reflect, and LoS if its on cd
And I believe you still los the shipbreaker storm aoe thing
Unless you wanna burn lucid there, yeah
I don't ever fight the damned thing anymore
so sweet % tho
I like it, cooldown recovery pull. Can go straight into big pull after since everyone will have big cds
Might look into it but I'd have to take something big out of the route
Its 4% for 1 mob, kinda joocy
I thought it was more now
Na
How long Do it take to solo it?
1.5min
Damn
If you get lucky IT procs its faster
True
But it takes around 3 reflects to kill
Is it worth it?👀 i like doing cheesy stuff
In high keys ya
Cool
So you reflect the dot, los the storm, and if reflect isn't up you quickly los the dot as well?
Neat
Then before storm runs out you get into Los again so it'll try to apply the dot again
If you don't get out of Los in time it'll move, and you don't want that
Cuz the storm fucks
I'll have to find a shrine to practice on
Dont solo it on grevious weeks
Anything else us good 
F
Idk sometimes he skips a cast of shock if there are other people in combat with it
As in,in combat and los
Idk
Its weird
That's good to know
Today in shrine one of the melee stood right in top of the tentacle spawn before third boss and was instantly smooshed into paste
And he yelled at me
Nice 
:(
Die dumb melee die
Had to explain to him for like the 10th time that you can't stand right where mobs spawn, they'll hit you before anyone can even get threat
Good idea blizzard, big fan
I don't actually mind the mechanic
I mind melee brain not understanding how threat and aggro tables work
My favourute thing about that pack is sanguine weeks where the cultists or whatever die before the tendies
Yeah that happened too
Had to wait 40 seconds
Pulled the cultist patrol to kill some time
And who the fuck thought it was a good idea to put three depthsbringers in one pack?!
That pack is a joke. A cruel, sick joke put in place to punish us
):
In brighter news we got past secret phase on nzoth tonight, so he should die next week
Oh nice
It confused me when I saw it and no one mentioned it until I brought it up when we wiped
Like it was totally normal for them to follow me when casting 😂
🐒
Is the Skitra health boost a bug too and was it fixed?
I have no idea
Seems like it was an intentional buff to the boss
Dont ask why you would buff one of the earliest bosses this late i to the tier but hey 🤷
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?
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%
then i get the storm thingy?
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
i guess youre right. too much hassle in pugs
will save it till i go with guildies/friends
with voice
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
im used to having my SR interrupted 🙂
i just throw it in there without any expectations
tis very sad indeed 😢
even with my OP SR macro
btw
worst thing with shrine has to be the attendants
cant pull big with those araound
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%)
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
even losing 4% vers?
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
It's not even 1.3k hps I'm pretty sure
i'm stoked about trying vers out
have 7 contaminents with vers r3 in bags 🙂
and trinket ready
is going td, inflate truth, and crit haste prio for keys 15-20 also relevant for blood dk?
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
Damage wise
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 👍🏻
Crit enchants is really only smth maybe fury does
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)
Ineffable truth
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?

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
no u
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
kyrian spear is so insane for our damage

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.



But for real playing ravager has felt pretty good so far I am not mad
Are u able to boost freehold as prot warrior? 😛 (Noob)
easily
Ok so they are good for that aswell, not only DH
Yeah there's a lot of specs who can freehold boost now
meh
Tanks have no place in pvp
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
around what key levels should i switch to haste vers instead of haste crit
short answer, when you need it
fair enough
Thanks for the answers guys. Ill def watch the NW video when I get home!!
Hey everyone switching my role from Arms warrior to Prot for the rest of the xpac. Im assuming stacking versa corruption is the way to go for all my items?
twilight dev
just TD?
for more info

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
@steep bone Thanks
