lemme know if u need a US rogue karton ;^)
@modern brook
EU
we have rogue in our group already

this guy hits me with the double excuse T-T
So, what is going to be the meta next week for group comps?
3x hunters
i can do triple excuse @modern brook
so, big pulls?
😮
Half of the group speaks French
je parle francais
Isn't it like...raging something next week?
necro
Russian and what? :^)
but, who cares, necro is so easy to deal with it u have even 1 iq
no my meme
do hunter pets get necro
I'd assume so
ice mage good tomorrow
IDK neither raging nor necrotic are really thing you comp around imo
iguess raging sorta; cause u probably want at least 1 sooth
but I always run with a resto druid so i never really notice i gues
hunter is good
You do with necritoc if u dont kite
double-enraged ancient warrior in KR @civic rover
yeah but like
i'm never like "damn that mob enraged and fucked me"
maybe the triple tank buster pack in WS
ok
Dead week is dead
Lol I got that weapon the other day on my war; didn't realize it looked like that
hey guys and girls what do u think about druids that taifuns enemys behind u in a +24
I did not know this was a thing

@buoyant scroll either doesnt know or doesnt care
he just meant i need to endure it bc it couldnt kill me that fast and i did something wrong
so i got coriuos and ask here how long do u survive 7 enemys behind u even with last stand shildwall etc
i was down at 5 hits
i tried to run ML16 today, we dropped like flies though on trash
Or you turn around lol
giving mobs your back is like'
Re-position
how you die quickly as a tank
ppl literally do that on purpose when they want to die
people just get sniped off by random bursting
yeah i was dead at the moment i realise what happend and yes it is my main healer and he did it multipli times
Tell him he's an idiot
ghost him
And if he's gonna knock things back knock them away from you not through you
i told him he went complet princess trantrum XD
Like wtf is he doing in front of you to begin with
Do you guys solo tbe ele on Bridge in sots?
Ya
it takes a very high key for soloing that to be a time save iirc
Like 21? Or don't bother?
And do you tank second boas on rhs or lhs with the cleave glitch
Boss
well i was pulling with last stand and shildwall up and hadnt the time to kite them away far enough that i can position the mobs betwenn me and the groupe so our groupe dont lose dmg on parries etc
bc our dh startet with eyebeam iris meta eyebeam
One more reason why zul is stupid
yeah things in my groupe i was told bc they couldnt do backhits on mobs
Wut
all main raiders XD
you run w/ a sub rogue? :p
maybe they though raid and m+ have same mechanics
i just use whatever cooldowna are available and pray shadow of zul dies fast
nah no rouge
it's a common misconception
No one needs the back of the mob unless you're a rogue
and that somone stand in the ring
Which most dont
i mean do u have a change in aggro with dh that does eyebeam iris meta eyebeam release spirit?
lol
yes if he can he allways start with that
If he doesnt want to wait a global or two for you to get solid aggro not your fault
Lots of dummies blow their burst asap and get pissed when they die
shoutout to Femtank
i mean i learned how to hold aggro until second eyebeam its like no rage for any deff cds and just do trinket and shildwall
No
true
You dont sacrifice your ability to survive to hold aggro
Let him die
Until he learns
he never did
pfft i can tank the whole beach in TD without even taking dmg
groupe died bc of his crying
Then let him keep dying
like push week = rip
@strong forum you're a great tank dont let anyone tell you otherwise King
Ook ook 🐒 dh beam brrrr
and now i am here to cheer me up with explaining our stupid shit that happens in my groupe to u
If you're having to waste your CDs on packs you shouldn't need to use them on because the DH is smooth brain its hurting the run period
😂
Because you now don't have said CDs for big pulls
no u can´t start with eyebeam (every tank ever) DH: ha ha ha eyebeam goes brrrr
Not watching dorki tho 
So you can't pull as big as you should be doing to save time
no u can´t start with eyebeam (every tank ever) DH: ha ha ha eyebeam goes brrrr
@buoyant scroll haha your aggro your problem
just more mage privilege
@sweet summit
I do white
So you go the white side?
Voth work
i don't rip until like 7 seconds into the pull and then the mob has to run all the way to be before i can get melee'd
Kk
Up to you/ur group
it was never a time problem in our +24 it was always something happens heal mage and dh turned into scream monkes and trowing shit at each others in the mean time me and hunter was there like the cat in the meme
for the pig i go on snappoint and hunter does missdirect all 4 groupes
Pull it on boss 👀
there's nothing worse than playing blame game during a key
@steep bone yeah i noticeds
not always but sometimes i use these bombs sticky posion tar
I'd kappa that statement but @ionic fern hasn't given us outside emotes yet @sweet summit

@ vel 
@blazing dune outside emotes when
so question @all do u rerole in shadowlands?

I won't get 4k before reset 
i play all the tanks so no i wont be rerolling
No I grug
but i am fotm trash so i might not play warrior as much
Ain't no snitch
legit all keys we're getting are already ones we did 
👉 🚪
i play all tanks aswell but change main every patch ^^
Same kekw
i'll probably play monk and warrior mostly still
Because it looks like fun
i also wanna play a decent amount of bear this next xpac
and if u dont reroll wich covernant do u choose
warrior forever
any blood dks SL mains
?
and sry if thats is kinda oftopic
this channel is giga offtopic alot of times, don't be afraid 😄
but currently thinking of either pally or monk as "main alt"(technically a raid prog toon for first tier)
monk is lookin kinda nuts in SL
and sry if thats is kinda oftopic
It's off-topic 90% of the time
Blood DK? I think you meant to say wet tissue paper mains @steep bone

i just hope blizzard gets his shit togheter and balance one tank that is good for m+ and raid
Wdym
lmao i asked my healer friend what his favorite pug tank to heal is
warrior 
Monk is good for both now
-be me dream like a fucking lunatic
So is warrior

The tank balance has been great this expansion lmao
he told me: good DK>>other tanks>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>bad DK
if you're not WF pusher then any tank is good tbh
Vdh also good for both rn
yeah all the tanks (when you take woyer out of the equation for M+) are pretty close in power
yeah but u all know the community
Only one that’s not really great for both is prot paladin
they watch worldfirst mdi and only invite these kind of tanks
if the self heal wasnt on the GCD i would probably gear my paladin
Only one that’s not really great for both is prot paladin
@mellow patio
But even here you can do a lot
Even with warrior in the equation, really not that far ahead
or want them to begin with not knowing why or having a clue
exactly
either u play the god tier or u dont play at all is my expierience
@chilly brook can confrim


I have had a good amount of fun playing dk in beta, which says something because I am the biggest dk hater of all time
Just be a paladin
Nope
u guys getting beta ?
Won’t do that
Speaking of which
It could be the best by 30000 miles and I still wouldn’t play it
Shield of the righteous is ass and I refuse to play until it is deleted
The main reason I'm hesitating on that is because the Venthyr ability for them SUCKS
i've been playing a bit of beta
mainly just playing a bunch of race/class combos tbh
I am just tinkering to see how classes play
yeah sadly if u dont pick the class that is one inch infront of all others u can´t play random
That’s not true
thats a massive exaggeration
Super not true
if you're a tank you get into groups, period.
People are gonna take you if you have the io
If my bear can get into pugs anyone can
welp waited 2 hours for invite in key level i had intime with pala
same with raid
In my experience if you whisper them “invite me now for alpha tank” you will get an invite
well i aint that cocky XD
Who pugs raids wadu
Well there you go it’s a confidence issue
If you don’t enter every dungeon thinking you are the best god damned player on this earth you are doing it wrong
I could absolutely throw a key
only thing playing a meta tank spec helps with is if you're undergeared or unexperienced
And I will still walk the walk
nah i dont do it bc even if i consider somebody to invite in my groupe if they start wispering me that kind of things i change my mind asap
Dang tough scene denying all the daddies of their bread
Same tbh
Punished for being alpha 
Dont /w me 
If someone Whisper me anything about how good they are or what they have or leave a note: pots flask food know tacts - thats insta decline from me 
i dont mind if u are bad or something bc in the keys i play dmg dont matter tbh
What if they really are as good as they say and you are missing out 
Or pol queueing with last key done 2months ago 
Also the joke went right over some of your heads
Well unluck ig
/y HEY! WHAT'S YA NAAAAME?
but if u get the wispers i do 90k dmg overall
They do half xd
i mean comeon dude so i know 2 things about u a u dont do 90k overall b u dont listen to me
Just do what I do and invite the first people who queue for your pugs
Doesn’t matter what ilvl or class
Feral druid good big rip
feral w/ inscrip is literally better rogue tbh
The disrespect 
yeah but who does cannon then who picks locks
u also like 100% dont need lock picking anymore
yeah tell that my hunter
ALSO i asked for extra noodles and they didnt give me extra noodles so im rage capping rn
he dies by watching the last boss walking around
well i overcap in these situation if i want a specific class/role player etc and get wispers like i am better than this class u want from a diszi priest
Depends what keys You are doing and most of the times comp doesnt matter
thats true
Double ret fire mage for big pump don’t @ me
I dont like rogues on my score rn
Especially when i experience 65k overall in +22 ur xD
If ur playing with a sub 3.5k rogue
chances are hes a FOTM reroller who missed season 2 by a minute
simple thump rule rouge rio divided by 2 pluss 500 and u have his real rio XD
Purple does not get invited to my group anymore
they dont need my key
ahh yeah sry my mind is kinda sliperry
Rogue is aflat minus 900 imo
ahhh i swithc them around thanks
How much do we take away from tanks
All rogues are
nerdsneckbeard twig virgins who think they are good
@mellow patio ftfy
tank score doesnt count
true
@brittle owl T-T
I'll have you know
I'm the #1 subtelty rogue on my server
well if i create one i am too XD
Dang im impressed
XD
🙇
total of 87 sub rogues world wide
oh no sup rouges got wild by our most fucked raid we every created mhmmmm better put them to sleep
Sub rogues had fun for exactly 1 half a content patch this expansion
Isnt sub good in pvp or
dont remind me :^(
Pvp doesn’t exist
who actually cares about pvp?
it's only good in 2's at low rating
Fair...
higher rating sin is objectively better
sub can stomp on noobs in a pretty fantastic fashion though
So its only good because im bad 
If you are a high rated pvper I automatically assume you braid your neck beard
p much
👁️ 🌊
in vanilla twiinking BG 29 39 49 was good for sub, because u got a HUGE dps boost for back stab, which was easy back then since nobody was aware
ambush and backstab could murder toons
Sub was always a good pvp spec
I'll never understand how thy came up with Assassination as the dot spec tbh
just like frost was for mages
Or arms for war
"When i played tbc" i played rogye a d went sub because shadowstep was cool as fuck
disx for priest
it's also just really fun to ambush for 1700 in classic, pull threat and die
survival for hunter

Idk if feral was intended the way it was but its kinda the pvp spec
ish
I'm hitting for like 800k evis
boomkin always has and will be OP
certain patches you just moonfired motherfuckers to death
i remember in cata arcane mages did 1 button for top dps
Now they do 2?
tbc arcane mage with t5 setbonus was bis arcane mage don't @ me
same way bis demo lock was tbc demo lock with t5 setbonus
i miss t5 
i was enh shaman
A level 70 shaman still roams the plains of Outland
right after enh was no longer good
it wasn't the meta anymore
i forget what they changed to make it not busted anymore
i had a 2h and i tried it out and it was weaksauce
Think you couldn't get a proc off of a proc anymore or smth
If your character isn’t named Big Shirley are you even living in 2020
think about calling interrupts in a group with a mage named reflect and a prot warrior tho
Guys, do you know if Demoralizing Shout works on Boss mechanics? As in, if I demo just before 2nd boss in UR casts party-wide damage ability like Tantrum, is the damage of Tantrum reduced by 20%?
My guess is no, but I'm entirely new to tanking
it would only reduce it on you if it works
but i think tantrum dmg comes from environment, not sure
Why only to me, though? It says "the damage they do by 20% for 8 sec.", not specifying "to you"
you might have the pvp talent
and are in war mode
demo shout only affects dmg to you without pvp talent
Indeed 🙂
Guys, do you know if Demoralizing Shout works on Boss mechanics? As in, if I demo just before 2nd boss in UR casts party-wide damage ability like Tantrum, is the damage of Tantrum reduced by 20%?
@sweet surge rallying cry is what you are thinking of
give that as a lego in sl so we can have two DS legos ty
that gives your whole party more hp temporarily, similiar
Rallying cry is the health bonus, ds is the 20% dr and you'll take 20% less damage from anything that's source is something afflicted by ds
So ull take less thrash damage but your team will take the normal amount of damage
not that it matters much, it's physical
I'm not a nerd
[X] Doubt
its sourced from cragmaw
See I was right
actually ill doublecheck logs
Shit nvm
lol

@modern brook confirmed nerd
😡
So, a demo shout on Cragmaw will reduce the dmg you take from Tantrum by 20% then
Right? 😄
ye
Yes
But only you
It doesnt reduce the damage it deals, it reduces the damage you take

WOW
this is harassment
NICE ONE
Sorry..it did not show that there was someone with that name.
LOL
i should change my discord name to mouseover
just to grief ppl trying to post macros
😂
lol
Prot war or prot pally for keys and what not till SL?
Mwahi needs to make eyes at someone to get us cross server emotes
I'm not good at making eyes.
Also, someone tell me what are the bis fury azerite pieces. 😦
how do you spell reflect the slime adds at junkyard?
jut run into him and use SR prior to cast going off
Consume has a cast time before it starts channeling. As long as you hit it before the initial cast finishes, you're safe (provided you didn't also pull a slime elemental or something and get your SR consumed)
That is the best when that happens
so you use it when the cast finishes not the channel
Yes
does it do damage or just immunity
Just don't leave the circle and re-enter (which should be easy if you just don't move)
Yeah if the channel has already started, it's too late
@still pagoda
Turned that we've full guild premade \o/
gz i guess?
YES
wait why does wow look so sexy
he's hunter main
Brother in pepega comps @steep bone
he's pumper tho 😄
No timed 23s for us yet 😢
that's my second 23 timed ❤️
3 untimed though pepehands

Yikers
We have a 22 KR to do tonight though and I think we can time that
That'll be like 55-60 points
KR is giga free
Yeah we struggle with it on tyrannical but should be fine on fort
@steep bone Four French peeps in the group 
We have a VDH tank so Zul doesn't scare us
We usually struggle with the first boss if anything
Safeguard OP for first boss
it could be just me but who else is kinda bored about any dungeon in bfa since season 2
nope
yeah i mean sure the steps changes are kinda fun like 10-15 to 15-20 or 20-25 are interresting bc of the change of pace and stuff like getting oneshotted by abilitys u ignored the last step but since season 2 all season affixes are designed in my eyes to just slow down the player like amassarys was like yeah here a obsticles that slow u down or make groupes not playable or not skipable and now the pillars are i guess kindment helps that draws time atleast in my eyes
and sry for the burned eyes not native speaker if it wasnt obviouse enough XD
what if i told you
all affixes are designed to slow you down
except for awakened which can speed things up due to skips
yeah i know but like skittish is not rly a timeloss is like play smarter and u dont notice it or bolstering
that are like mindset affixes if u think about u dont need to think about it kinda thing
sanguine is like know the dungeon kinda think like dont pull stupid or kite them in a stupid place and u wont have a problem
vulcanic is kinda look on the screen and dont be stuppern
and quaking is dont cuddle
the others stuffs feel like yeah nah u need to pay time here
Strange that you mention bolstering since people generally consider that one of the worst time-affecting affixes
well it is and isnt
its strange like its the absolute nightmare in 10-20 keys
but anything above that its like yeah u can pay time here or just deal with focus dmg and bring then all very low before killing anything
wasnt it reflect shiffwreake and hide
You reflect the electrifying shock, not shipwrecker
ahh yeah sry ^^
and do I just go out myself?
yes
https://youtu.be/SGxY4VpvUJw?t=840 this is Naowh doing it
The healer will dispel every other one
Well on higher keys you don't want to take it at all; normally they just LoS the storm/any shock they can't reflect
You can see in Naowh's video that Zmok takes one of them by accident because he got too close
Or maybe took it on purpose since Naowh didn't have reflect for that one
on higher keys that is a +28
yeah if the stars stand correctly and the player knows how 😄
Is there a vendor helm with BoM and DC?
abyssal i think
I have mythic shoulder/chest so I’m wondering what to spend residuum on
@still pagoda 
Congrats
this will sound stupid, but if i avatar does it cause bigger TD?
the 20% dmg buff i think
aight, recording setup ready @steep bone
23 SOTS done 😮
Most class/spec damage cooldowns are "whitelisted" which means they affect a very specific set of abilities for that specific class/spec @sick sentinel
So things like essences/trinkets/etc aren't affected by them
what about items on potion CD
https://raider.io/characters/eu/kazzak/Waîfu 273 score to get tommorow BIG POG @still pagoda
where is the 445 ring with leech 🕵️
What are you asking there yogi
445 ring wut
nothing increase engineer bomb power?
im fluffy pillow from now on 
is next fortified week worse or better than this one? i'm wondering how impactful teeming will be in comparison to bursting. would it be considered a "push" week?
teeming+fort adds a considerable amount of time to kill trash
bustring is a nonaffix
same as volcanic
its not bad, its just not this week
this one may be okay
dont remember
then
all i know is that keys are dead after tomorrow
im gonna be giga happy with 4k
yeah, my team didn't have the chance to push cause one of our members got sick and we're close friends who don't like pugging
so we just didn't push this week
what keys are you doing?
just started doing 20s and 21s
aye, next week is good
just try to avoid atal and KR, those are pretty bad on teeming
I'd play regardless
i'll tell him to leave the hospital and go home to play
next fort week*
as in play alone
temple is monkaW with one of the dirvish packs with 5 of them
but other than that you should be good to go tbh
yeah, we'll have to plan carefully around teeming
temple on tyrranical 
thanks for your replies

off topic: it's so hot here that cheese on my sandwich is literally melting from temperature 
sorry
Melted cheese, what a travesty 😏
Zul just bricked the key
Is there a place to look up best prot Warrior race on horde? Several sites give different answers
@ember crane Doesn't matter if you're not pushing for WF keys and boss kills
but panda, vulpera and belf are the best choices if you're wondering
Isn’t much impact? Bummer
just choose what you find aesthetically pleasing
Will do! Maghar it is 🙂
Panda is just an anagram of bad decisions tbh
is it worth getting a SV3 this week
Oh surging vitality
Iunno do u need it?
Like sv is taken cause 9x verse 3s is only like 29 corruption or whatever and u technically get more out of the sv with a fuck tune of amps already
So like if you have 7+amps already, and are pushing 25+ how ild
Go wild***
Otherwise idk just get more td and have fun while it lasts
Td13 here I come
Hey guys new to discord was wondering if anyone could tell recommended ilvl for prot warrior for each m+ currently running 9s at 462 worried about doing awakened mobs past 10
can you get accepted to pugs at that ilvl? probably not, so might be best to run your own key
Gotcha I have decent azerite traits, but not good essences or vers gear mostly dps gear cuz dungeons only like to drop me tidalcores and azerite power
dont worry about vers
you'll know when you need to stack it but for a vast majority of content it's not required at all
biggest thing is getting good azerites and essences
At this point I wasn't even worried about that anymore cuz of prepatch coming in the near future
Today I learned I'm too fat to get on the atal snap spots easily, the stairs ones, not the 'jump and almost fall to rezan' ones....
Guess I need to go in at an M0 and practice that, I get too annoyed not making it up there and then just do the packs normally
Which isn't good in high fort 😂
I want to try tanking but I don’t know how to do counts and awakened lol
more of a general question rather than protw specific: when doing 24 gorak tul w/ spider using 2 melee kicks and 2 slow ranged kicks (hunter/mage), do we focus all kicks on spider and let darkened lightning go off?
same question on doing spider with yazma at a similar level
Yazma cast should never go off, gorak is slightly less important to kick afaik
Nah
some people will let lightning go off on a specific person that's baiting it but
Gorak wrecks
it can be dicey on higher keys
If left uninterrupted
Hence the afaik, haven't done it on high key yet 😜
i think you can tank spider in a spot that let's people LoS its casts tho
@distant crystal in the KR spot?
yeah there's a few places on yazma that can be LoS but that's a little less consistent
sounds sketchy if the little spiders start swarming you
since you gotta be kiting her around
yeah
i was referring to gorak tul tho
so what's the verdict? let darkened lightning go off and call it a healer mechanic?
maybe call who it's targeting and personal?
spider cast on 24 is nearly a 1 shot
What i did even in 20s is calling what to interrupt or what will go onto reflect
And just nuking spider before it all went to hell
Doing KR, we were poised to time, then meet 3rd boss and the caster boss just fucks us, nova went off. People said that "usually the tank saves his kick for nova"
I just rolled my eyes
That's why I like playing on my prot paladin sometimes, can just carry interrupts most of the time
If only people would get on discord
the cast is so long
if you have a kick tracker you can just call for whoever has a kick up generally
Doing KR, we were poised to time, then meet 3rd boss and the caster boss just fucks us, nova went off. People said that "usually the tank saves his kick for nova"
@vocal skiff
Did 22KR todah
Hunter did nova kicks in our group
All according to plan
Yeah, I know there is no sense in the "tank does it"
I usually believe the ranged with the long kick should do it
But again, it wasn't a pug run and we all were in vc
yeah thats a ranged kick usually
On that note, how to reliably avoid the whirlwind in 1st boss room
On a related note, I mean
if anyone says "well the tank is supposed to kick it" but doesnt tell you beforehand tell them to go eat shit
we usually have 1 ranged kick held for nova
and then everyone else rotates on lb's
but y'all gotta use your words
Our tank kicks nova when it's the active boss but our hunter does it during the off-phase
On that note, how to reliably avoid the whirlwind in 1st boss room
@vocal skiff
Slow carousel around the room
Works for me
Or are you talking of the boss?
trash
me wanting to skip SOB like

we actually timed 2 boralus yesterday, (22-23) then random key and now they are Boralus again
kekw
We did time 22 ML, FH and UR this week
Started really late into it
And don't have much experience with such stuff

Only 100 rio this week
After nearly 2 weeks of not doing keys past weekly 20
yeah same
but i grinded around 600 io
i'm still so fucking bad in some dungeon
but hey my E-penis is bigger now
First burnout thanks to pugs
Then forming a group really late into the last best push week this season

At least IRL things are going great
I did mostly pugs (and sometime 20 keys with guildies) and this week i finnaly got into a group (monk heal + rogue) and we filled it up with random players here and there
and damn thats another game
i rediscovered most keys. Thats very satisfying
Yeah
But at the same time it still feels like i'm really late to the game
To the real M+
And not that dumb shit that pugging is
Yeah me too
but at least now i know what to do for shadowlands, even tho i would have like to abuse prot war a bit
tbh ive gotten more score pugging 23s than with guild groups, but maybe my guild isnt good 🤷♂️
The only 2 things i've gotten pugging is 3k rio and a huge burnout from seeing all the dumb people and other shit

3k is what, 18s across the board?
the better and more cooperative players ive come across are in the 23s (obviously)
half a brain, and if you're a good shot caller you'll have some success
3k is what, 18s across the board?
@dark lark
20's
+20-22 range in pugs is a trap
A real fucking trap
No matter how much you do
agreed, it's amazing the difference in players between 21/22s and 23s and up
And how much you're trying to pull that shit out of the trashbin
That shit is the main cause of my current burnout
being so late on a coordinated group train is....
Really unpleasant
agreed, it's amazing the difference in players between 21/22s and 23s and up
@dark lark
Terrible*
Fixed it for ya
Since pugs in 20-22 range are just straight up garbage
90% of all runs are either unfinished or bricked
If i even get invited or avoid getting kicked because i'm not doing suboptimal "meta" stuff in keys where it is totally unnecessary
i just don't like toxic players
had a mage in an atal pug that just bitched and complained
died to shit and blamed others
lots of pugs in 20+ keys just dip out the second it looks like it might not be two chested
I dip out the second it looks like a brick
Don't have time and nerves to waste on pugs
i'm not one to leave groups for lame reasons but if people just dont know shit i'll dip
yeah it's a case by case basis
In my case it was the only reasonable decision
To stop pugging
Too much nerves into nothing
I come to WoW to chill and push with enjoyment, not to waste my time and patience on morons in that shitty system
that's what low level freeholds are for
just to mongo them with twilight dev without thinking
put on netflix on the other screen, smoke a bowl and blast
Im late to the game here (461 ilvl) and trying to get my raider.io level up quickly so I can get into more advanced key groups. Is it better to get solid m+ key levels across all dungeons or focus on getting the highest possible in the ones you can push?
Cool thanks @distant crystal
How long before next xpac?
3-4 months
I'm gonna have enough titan residuum to buy my first 475 gear piece tomorrow. I'm close-ish to the engineering 475 helm so should I go for shoulders or chestpiece? Which random pool is better?
What’s ilvl ? If low go vers for higher keys if high go full haste/td I guess depends on your plans
your priority is ilvl>haste>crit>vers>mastery
and for sub 20 and 20s you don't need td at all so just go full haste
Hi guys, can I ask if there is a way to deal with the KR berserker debuff? I got 3 stacks somehow while tanking and it never happen before.
I'm reading all of what you guys are saying and looking at your screenshots of your HPS at the end of a dungeon. My HPS at the end of a 19 KR was 16k which seems incredibly low. I don't have LPS or the Vers trinket from Alchemy though but something has to be wrong unless it's literally lack of Vers.
I'm 28% Vers on him currently
Top was Ignore Pain
hps isn't a metric that really matters for us
Yes, I did. I actually went into the first pack after the first boss when I charged in and got bitch slapped in like 3 seconds by the 3 adds that were active first
I missed all context of dungeon etc, but if ur getting instant slapped like that 90% you didnt shield block on the pull
I didn't have rage up
Charge +ss==30 rage
monkaS
Grats shew!
Nice
@sick sentinel your charge gets u half way there, so if you are starting a pull ageless like that you want to pop demo/avatar asap in the rotation, in the case of avatar during the charge even
Yeah I guess it's also not knowing it would smash me like that
Like charge ss is 30, charge avatar is 35, charge demo is a #>30 I dont remeber off hands
So I have to learn what fucks me up and what doesnt
The short hand is: if you dont have sb up everything
But yeah understanding your pulls and the threats in them is very useful for pushing keys
If ur omega bones on resources you can also start pulls with last stand if you have to
Although tbh idt you can really get yourself into that situation without trying
As a pull back to your original statement, start logging your dungeons so you can track more relevant statistics like % of hits blocked etc.
Yeah I think that's a good idea, and I appreciate the input
Sry, but would there be any thing I could have done to prevent more stacks of severing blade to be on me from the KR berserker? Somehow I got 3 stacks, which have never happened before. I’m lost now.
You can dodge/parry the debuff Vob, so if you're lucky on RNG then that's why you've never seen 3.
You can also stun them with like 3 seconds on the debuff and it'll drop, as long as your group can kill them before stun DR becomes an issue.
Otherwise you'd have to kite them with no one in melee (or bait it on a rogue popping evasion/ DH with blade dance and fast reaction times). If anyone is in melee range without a cooldown up, they'd get a stack of the debuff and probably die.
It applies to the highest threat in melee, so if you never try to kite then you'll always get it
But of course, if you just try to kite without informing your group then the rogue will ask wtf he got the debuff
So that's like a +20 and above strat
when i got it, my healer told me to kite but i told her i got the debuff stacked and bounbd to die hence i just stood there
okay got it
will have to communicate
Help
thanks again @ember plinth really appreciate it
Fuuuuu
sry, can't really help u there @limpid pawn since i am still learning to tank 22 and 23s... perhaps u could specify the issue and the others can help?
like, specific mob or boss mechanic, or route that you are facing since your initial msg is pretty general to answer
@limpid pawn what is your Problem? Sob is mainly about playing safe and to use your brain
not enough time by the time i reach the end
rather what is the optimal path
there's so much nonsense
i'm not sure which path to take
I play nearly every single trash until 2nd boss. After her I pulled the big boy and these 4 apes, went into pillar and we did spotter and marksman with warry shout and darkness so we can use the aoe for the trash in the Boss chamber
I did a 23 this week timed
Im not on my pc rn, I Hope u understand what I mean. The right use of the spotter will safe u much time, but u need to pay attention how much it kills bc some trash will melt instantly and the stacks can kill u
@limpid pawn soloing spotter packs has really helped me with time
how good is haste vs vers for tanking?
haste is king in almost every situation
You never take vers over haste
You either take both, or haste+an other stat
If you have equal ilvl gear to choose stats with, as ilvl is king
so i should take vers gem and corruption off for haste?
If you already have everything gemmed and corrupted then just stick with it
do u take alot of damage with full haste?
As long as you play correctly, no
Your damage intake is 99% tied to your gameplay.
Haste is something that helps you smooth out your mitigation due to reducing the CD on some of our key abilities.
This means that there is less downtime in for example Shield Block while actively tanking enemies.
Vers is something that has come to the spotlight due to Corruptions and people being able to stack it to oblivion - it also scales linearly which makes stacking it even better.
Not everyone NEEDS versatility tho:
In Raids (even mythics) you don't need versatility to survive since the damage intake is not big enough of a threat and there's no real scaling there.
Due to how Mythic+ works every new key level increases the damage/health of the enemies meaning that they are becoming harder and harder - the issue is that our gearing options are limited. We can't get gear higher than what is offered to us through mythic raiding/weekly caches so we have to look elsewhere for the damage reduction once we hit the point in Mythic plus (Usually 24+ for most people) where the sheer amount of damage coming in is just too high to be dealt with what's available to us. There are obviously some other points as well why people go for Versatility stacking.
@cloud tangle


Stop judging @undone sun .
🙂
When in damage calculation does versatility actually take effect? I have 50% verse in combat and feel like I'm taking the exact same damage as I was before I went wild on it?
I mean I have 50% versatility (25% damage reduction) and feel like I'm dying just as fast in my dungeons as I was with 3%
or maybe... verse is broken and shouldn't exist.
🤔
but either way - where does it actually take effect? Is it reducing damage after armor/block reduction?
Idk, i wanna say before block/armor but thats just a guess
But does that matter?
Idk how math works
Link log
👀
Spits.
Spits, yeah...
can we just go back to when tanks could just stand in one spot 😦
A gamer move vs spits is to press spell reflect and reflect the spit(s)
😮
Stun->SR tho. 👀 Line that up.
Yep
so I use KUI and all the bars are messy and hard to see, is there a better bar addon for seeing spellcasts?
And don't be afraid to use Shield Wall there - especially if you have multiple DoT's on you and the healer's sleeping.
You can just look up on how to setup KUI decently to only show what you want to see.
Are there KUI profiles on wago?
just plater it looks
Nah, wago doesnt have KUI profiles i think
For Bursting affix, what is a solid rotation on mobs? Can you AoE at all?
Yes you can AoE.
Just don't extend the stacks.
You can kill multiple mobs at once
If enemies die roughly at the same time the healer shouldn't have issues healing you.
Good luck telling PUG DPS'ers that tho.
Much appreciated!
Its a lot easier to instantly go to 11 stacks than to slowly extend from 5-6-7-8
For the healer*
going 5-6-7-8 is more damage than a 20 stack 
@sweet summit i stole that from a lawschool facebook meme page and phone edited it
idk why it just tickled me
I like it

how is that a thing lol
you can drop it in M+ and it can eat a siegebreaker

Yeah
Like if you enter and just kite til he does dark fury, you can place it and he should not melee before spirit breaker
Its a nice QoL thing
Or if you wanna do double obelisk its kinda big
Is it worth considering adding a surging vitality to a versatile build if you don’t have r3 cns
Idk if its worth doing a vers set if you dont have cns r3 
I’m making a verse set regardless, my guild healers aren’t equipped to handle zul fort 20 or 21 tyran rixxa
Anyway, SV is good vers just not consistent like versatile

@pastel sleet
Lul wut 
Like, it's their own problem then. Not yours
And gearing specifically for 2 things
^
Okay
Math hard
i watched SV refresh 3x in a row for nerf earlier
15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 15, 14...
during a gigapull he's chillin with 51% vers DR
mbn
Overall uptime on SV is about 50-60% isn't it?
Ye
(obviously it can be up when you don't really want/need it)
details uptime ye
i think i had a stack of itf there tho
