#

not its not

#

its exactly the fricking same

#

so thing is, i can spend the extra money i earn during those 2 month either in useless stuff

#

or my bank will take it anyway

#

the other 10 month

#

i m able to earn 70$ a month

#

sadly not enough for my rent but u know

#

i make my landlord wait, its an old guy so i keep it with him, stay nice with him

#

if only i could find a fucking opportunity to get a steady income

#

so now that we established the metaphor

#

lets see the solution u offer

#

u offer me to accumulate my money so i can use it later

#

this way

#

i will be able to pay my 3rd month

#

and the rest of it will be to waste

#

and from the 4th month, im back to my bad salary

#

nice solution

#

im not saying its ravager is bad, iots probably the best, but the problem is still there, and its no use to say someone should just keep the rage to pay his 4 to 12 month salary it doesnt make sense at all

chilly brook
#

Again very convoluted analogy that doesn't capture how wow works in terms of your survival

woven trellis
#

at least it make a point

#

not like any single thing u said

chilly brook
#

It doesnt really make a point...

woven trellis
#

this is called denial

chilly brook
#

You have plenty of tools at your disposal to stay alive

woven trellis
#

its not about that

#

at all

#

ure deviating

#

the point

chilly brook
#

You gain far more rage when you need it with ravager as opposed to ITF

woven trellis
#

this is true

chilly brook
#

I'm not because it's a complete picture

#

Not a vacuum

woven trellis
#

well ure deviating again

#

i just told u

#

saying u should

#

save ur rage from ravager

#

for later

#

is the dumbest thing i ever read

#

i just said that

#

nothing more

#

so yeah, in the end, we agree that sadly Ravager is probably better anyway, and ITF isnt good enough, but if we had a solution that allow up to get

#

let say

#

90% of this rent every month

#

like a better itf

#

it would probably be much better and reliable

#

than creating huge rage for a short period

#

sadly we agree, it looks like it doesnt exist

chilly brook
#

Doubt

woven trellis
#

well being able to pay your rent every month is better than paying it 3 month a year eh

#

btw, its just about IP uptime this whole story, were dependant of IP uptime in the higher key now to stay alive, so everything that could help maximize if for the longer fights would be way better

#

even if its true that its fucking awesome to be able to have enough for the first, lets say 15 second of every pack

#

15 sec is sadly far from being the length of a trashpack in a high key

#

well they consume your IP maybe every 2 or 3 sec

chilly brook
#

IP is not your most effective tool to stay alive even in high keys

woven trellis
#

yeah sure

#

its not important

#

its dogshit

chilly brook
#

So again this whole "I have so much rage at the start of a pull" is kinda moot

woven trellis
#

its sarcastic mate

#

IP is fucking important

chilly brook
#

Since you can hold Ravager until you have nothing else and absolutely need it to dump into IP

#

SB is still your most important tool to stay alive....

woven trellis
#

again i dont know how you think but its very weird

chilly brook
#

IP shouldn't be what you're relying on wholesale unless literally nothing else is available

woven trellis
#

IP shouldn't be what you're relying on wholesale unless literally nothing else is available
@chilly brook

#

and ure here

#

telling me its wrong

#

that u need a sausage

#

first

#

well

#

OF COURSE

#

<IP shouldn't be what you're relying on wholesale unless literally nothing else is available<

#

so

#

according to u

#

when ure on other CDs

#

u shouldnt use IP

#

is that how u play for real?

chilly brook
#

@sweet summit @still pagoda save me plz

#

Show me where I said you never use IP with anything else?

woven trellis
#

im just asking for you to clarify those < situations < where u dont need IP cause u have something else

#

what is this something else that make u not rely on IP

#

im waiting

#

cause so far, every war ive seen, including me in this prepatch , in high key

chilly brook
#

That's not what I said....

woven trellis
#

has to rely on a 60%+ uptime of IP

#

u said

#

IP shouldn't be what you're relying on wholesale unless literally nothing else is available

#

so clarify that

#

u make me look like the annoying guy here

#

but no man

#

just make sense

#

please

chilly brook
#

adverb
adverb: wholesale

on a large scale.

woven trellis
#

im pretty tilted right now, cause i may not be 300iq but im still a very pragmatic dude and i highly value good reasoning and i dont see any

chilly brook
#

I.e. you shouldn't be relying on it strictly unless you have nothing else to dump rage into

open monolith
#

Bro I've said it twice it's so simple.
Ravager makes the bad mans die faster. Dead bad mans can't hurt you.

woven trellis
#

oh my god

#

its just a meme discord or what

chilly brook
#

No you just have reading comprehension issues

open monolith
#

Kill the bad mans fasters, win the dungeon

woven trellis
#

No you just have reading comprehension issues
@chilly brook this is called projection

#

perverse defense mechanism

#

we aquire that at the very early childhood

#

this is good to stay healthy in life but not useful in this conversation

open monolith
#

Yikes.

sweet summit
#

hey whats up

#

why ping

woven trellis
#

we need a middle man

sweet summit
#

its 3.30 in the morning

woven trellis
#

lmao

chilly brook
#

Please save my sanity

open monolith
#

So, like. Are you completely dismissing the damage outout part of Ravager?

chilly brook
#

Also sorry

crimson mulch
#

what key levels are we talking about here, can we get a baseline

#

the answer is gonna vary a lot

woven trellis
#

were talking 27+

crimson mulch
#

ok cool yeah the trash starts hitting us really hard there, some packs are pretty brutal

woven trellis
#

so i think everyone here agreed to say that ravager is very good and does more than the job in the first 15sec of every trashpack

crimson mulch
#

10% haste doesn't cool down shield block any faster though right? and that's the main problem i have, when i hit the gap in active mit i'm gonna get pumped

chilly brook
#

Literally only 1 of the top 5 warriors is even touching ITF

woven trellis
#

well there is that as a problem yeah

#

but

sweet summit
#

whats the argument

crimson mulch
#

ravager is interesting because you can kite while rage gaining

sweet summit
#

i cba reading

woven trellis
#

maximizing IP uptime is a very efficient solution to save us fromm the post ravager part of trashfights

crimson mulch
#

at higher key levels kiting for cooldowns becomes much more important than anything else

#

imo

chilly brook
#

I don't even know what the argument is anymore

woven trellis
#

so the argument is, should we consider to try things to have steadier income in rage than just a burst at the beginning

chilly brook
#

I can't comprehend this mans 5head comparisons and analogies

sweet summit
#

you have rage gen issues?

woven trellis
#

not more than every other war i think

crimson mulch
#

i don't think the 10% haste is ever gonna outweigh the huge rage gain from ravager personally, even if you amortise it. you just need to time it right

open monolith
#

Are you spamming revenge o.o

chilly brook
#

Apparently saying to not spam IP more than necessary is dumb

woven trellis
#

ofc i dont spam revenge anymore

crimson mulch
#

at high keys non-free revenge is a bait lol

woven trellis
#

Apparently saying to not spam IP more than necessary is dumb
@chilly brook no, saying u should keep RAGE from ravager for later is dumb

chilly brook
#

Same with saying to hold Ravager if you know you're gonna need the influx of rage

crimson mulch
#

like pull with avatar + your shield blocks and take much reduced dmg due to 3x bastion

#

then when that runs out you can ravager + spam IP

#

seems better than 10% haste to me

chilly brook
#

Saying you should keep rage from ravager for later is completely different than saying you should hold Ravager if you know you're gonna need the rage to survive when SB drops

#

Like I said reading comprehension issues

woven trellis
#

ok

#

i see where the quiproquo is

#

u thought i say i have much rage at beginning of the fight and should hold ravager

#

but i never said that

#

i said that u have more than enough during ravager, whatever the time u use it

chilly brook
#

quiproquo?

crimson mulch
#

if you layer ravager on other CDs you'll probably waste a lot of the rage, it's all about spacing it out

open monolith
#

Uhhhh I don't think quid pro quo means what you think it means

#

LOL

woven trellis
#

so its smart to at least think if there is any solution that would give a less important burst but steadier income in nrage

chilly brook
#

Are you really trying to use "quid pro quo" as a phrase for misunderstanding?

woven trellis
#

oh well

#

teach me then

chilly brook
#

quid pro quo
/ˌkwid ˌprō ˈkwō/
noun
a favor or advantage granted or expected in return for something.

sweet summit
woven trellis
#

lmao

#

thank u erga

open monolith
#

Bitch we aren't speaking french here

chilly brook
#

^

woven trellis
#

again those guys are just projecting their issues

#

well i didnt say quid pro quo

#

i said quiproquio

#

quiproquo

chilly brook
#

I don't speak french

sweet summit
#

yeah i cba listening to your personal arguments

woven trellis
#

but i dont blame u for that

#

just dont tell me i dont know what it means

chilly brook
#

And it's awfully similar to a different phrase

woven trellis
#

just ask what it means

chilly brook
#

Well we're speaking english

#

Why would I ask what a word that's not english mean?

woven trellis
#

well its a french word used in english conversations sometimes

#

u know

chilly brook
#

Instead of assume it's english

sweet summit
#

if you want to test ItF go for it 🤷‍♀️
i personally find more success with ravager

woven trellis
#

like they use baguette

#

or rendez vous

#

or any shit like this

#

so u didnt

undone sun
#

english is three languages disguised in a trenchcoat

woven trellis
#

my bad then?

chilly brook
#

Because those are common vernacular?

undone sun
#

there's so many loanwords in it

sweet summit
#

i havent had any issues with "too much rage" or "too little rage" with and without ravager

woven trellis
#

Because those are common vernacular?
@chilly brook yeah, like quiproquo

chilly brook
#

And actually a part of the english language

#

Well no

#

That's french as the google shows

#

😛

#

Either way

#

Back to the actual issue

woven trellis
#

yeah like when u ask for rendez vous, it brings u the french meaning, not the english context when its used...

#

anyway

#

ye

open monolith
#

What are you wanting out of this conversation? Someone to give you permission to use a talent other than Ravager?

#

Some top warriors use it

#

It has its uses

woven trellis
#

no i tried the 3 of them so far

open monolith
#

Most prefer Ravager

woven trellis
#

so far i prefer ravager

#

but

#

im still sad abt it

#

thats pretty much the whole thing

chilly brook
sweet summit
#

why dont you like ravager?

chilly brook
#

seems like the english tense to me

woven trellis
#

lmao

#

ok

Dragon roar or Booming voice

#

sweet summit
#

DR because its epic

#

sweet summit
#

decent rage

open monolith
#

Booming Voice because dragon roar is stupid

crimson mulch
#

i like DR as another button to grab AOE aggro at the start of a pull, plus the rage is nice

sweet summit
#

sock id ban u if i could

#

dont call DR stupid

open monolith

I hate DR

Man I'll never forget this noob i adopted back in BC. Name was Darknesswolf. Had a cat named Icestalker. Everytime they used volley it would shout "FEEL THE RAIN OF FIRE ARROWS"

Pumpers.

oh btw

i have a question

open monolith
#

If you don't recognize that GIF you're too young, or old, to be on the internet

woven trellis
#

im ashamed of my question

ill look like the worst noob cause the answer is probably very dumb and i probably should know it

#

but

#

lets ask it anyway

Do you have the pvp talent that lowers it selected?

great joke

#

i love it

#

Ty

#

I put a lot of time and effort into it

#

I have boomer fingers, so I prefer passive talents

#

Fewer buttons makes me happy.

#

That's why I also play frost mage

open monolith
#

My soft and tiny hands can only reach so many buttons, you know?

woven trellis
#

well

#

yeah

#

just buy a 45key mouse

open monolith
#

I dont like the way the buttons feel under my thumb

#

I've been gripping a mouse in gaming a very particular way for like 22 years

#

Having to grip it differently with my thumb completely throws me off

woven trellis
#

u mean greasy>? its not from the mouse...

open monolith
#

Can't explain it

#

Just don't like it

woven trellis
#

well, mine is made in a way that i still can apply strength on the pad to push the mouse without actually pushing the key

#

i have to claw the hand and grip the mouse to actually press a key

#

so are u sure u tried one?

open monolith
#

Don't attack me like that

crimson mulch
#

you must be loving the devastator talent

open monolith
#

But yes i tried the naga ages ago

crimson mulch
#

not having to fill gcds with devastate is great

open monolith
#

And yes i love devastator

#

Though i miss the SOUND devastate used to make in...

#

Hrrrm when did it first come out

#

Was it bc or wotlk

#

It used to sound so nice.

sturdy sable
#

I feel like I remeber using it in bc

open monolith
#

Yeah I think it was BC.

sturdy sable
#

It was just sunder that did actual damage right

open monolith
#

I have memories of using it in Nagrand, for some reason

#

Yes

sturdy sable
#

Yeah it was bc

open monolith
#

And it made a very satisfying sound

#

member when holding aggro was actually difficult

undone sun
#

well it's back

open monolith
#

Oh thank god

undone sun
open monolith
#

Did they actually do something to change aggro mechanics in Shadowlands?

#

Or are you memeing

undone sun
#

nerf tank damage

#

it's real

open monolith
#

Sweet

undone sun
#

in a competent group, on average 4 out of 6 tanks have trouble establishing

open monolith
#

I mean, if you're playing optimally and still losing aggro, that's bad design

undone sun
#

which is what it is

open monolith
#

Well not sweet then

#

I was hoping more like .. BC vanilla days of aggro

last mason
#

how much haste you guys have rn

woven trellis
#

36

primal saddle
#

BC and Vanilla agro was tank haveing to hit first and dps haveing to check agro so they don't take it off tank

#

It was baaaad

brittle owl
#

you had enough tools across dps classes that aggro wasn't a hassle

#

and it rewarded proper gameplay from tanks, directly increasing raid dps

onyx vessel
#

Wouldnt work now

#

Tank does 1/4 a dpsers dmg

brittle owl
#

you had abilities that did varying levels of extra threat

#

it's wasn't tied to raw damage output

#

...like it is now

onyx vessel
#

Just hit droar

#

Easy aggro

#

👍

honest plinth
#

What do you mean by now btw. Sl release?

#

Coz our dmg is fine at least in m+ in pre patch

primal saddle
#

we got nerfed in prepatch and we are less popular in keys 30+

#

but thats about it

#

well in all the keys below too but we where the most dominant class for tanking keys so no surprises there

honest plinth
#

I mean its not 1/4 dpser damage

primal saddle
#

depends on the dps

#

i have big doubts on prot being able to do 2k dps single target

#

bm hunter is doing like 6k same with shadow priest

honest plinth
#

Overall dps in m+

#

Taths waht im talking about

primal saddle
#

overall dmg of a whole dungeon? who even looks at that?

honest plinth
#

Lolwut

#

Wtf

#

Are you talking about

primal saddle
#

I mean who the fuck pours over the total dmg for the whole dungeon?

#

and i still wouldn't expect the tank to be half the dmg of your dps

honest plinth
#

Well im doing

#

Even more in ws for example

jagged pier
#

@primal saddle prot warrior on the beta are already doing over 2k on beta on ST what do you mean you have big doubts

primal saddle
#

i was speaking about prepatch but also even if it was when your party are doing 5k dps you arnt doing half of their dmg

strong forum
#

Well but you are

primal saddle
#

whats half of 5k again?

#

its not 2k

honest plinth
#

2.5

#

Man you are trolling gotcha

primal saddle
#

i mean again its less than half of the dps dmg

#

its too be expsected

honest plinth
#

I fuxking dont care about dps on 1 boss

strong forum
#

Like what are you looking at, raid parses or m+, you said m+ overall dps doesn't matter. So youre looking at parsing

#

And people are breaking 3k

honest plinth
#

Im talking about oberall

strong forum
#

As pwar

honest plinth
#

Overall dps

strong forum
#

Same as m+, average is 2.5k dps

#

If you're doing high keys you can end up at 3k+ even

primal saddle
#

but what are your dps doing?

strong forum
#

4-5k

primal saddle
#

do you have any logs i've never seen a tank do more than half the dps on most of the keys ive been in?

strong forum
#

Shit tank, what can I tell you

primal saddle
#

this is at around 20-25

honest plinth
#

Make sense

primal saddle
#

so not like dumb high

strong forum
#

Only in dumb high keys

#

Dps will triple your dps

#

The lower you go

#

The less dmg the dps will be able to pull off overall

#

In the case of pre-patch

#

Cuz everything just vanishes

#

In 2 seconds

still pagoda

#

Just as you will do slightly less in keys lower than +22-23

what's the cooldown of fleshcraft?

#

nvm

#

i'm blind

#

10 yd range, 4 sec channel, 2 min cooldown.

jagged pier
#

its fuking trash and should be reworked like banner tbh

cosmic canyon
#

The venthyr shield effect from condemn, how long does it last for?

#

is it a shield on you; or a reduction of damage from the mob somehow?

brittle owl
#

it works like a debuff afaik

#

so essentially infinite duration until the damage threshold

jagged pier
#

but it got heavy nerfed XD

cosmic canyon
#

is "show of force" stacking? (potency conduit)

jagged pier
#

dont think do

#

and its kinda rubbish anyway

#

youll get loads more from going cov conduit and endurance/finesse

cosmic canyon
#

don't you need to apply 2x potency though? 1 from cov and one spec?

jagged pier
#

you can but show of force is so pointless its not worth it really

#

like it was 'okay' before if was nerfed

cosmic canyon
#

I "can" what's the alternative?

#

don't we get 2x potency conduits & 4 endurance ones?

jagged pier
#

another endurance conduit or a finesse conduit

cosmic canyon
#

or is the potency also the utility ?

#

ah, we can pick

#

in the tree

#

ok i follow, I haven't played beta

jagged pier
#

it al depends on the route you choose

strong forum
#

You get 4 conduits total

cosmic canyon
#

yy

strong forum
#

Ideal choice is 3e 1p

#

Or 2e 1f 1p

#

Show of force is dogshit

jagged pier
#

but going out your way to choose 2 potency isnt worth

strong forum
#

Our finesse conduits are good

#

Our endurance ones are okay

#

if show of force would stack it would be good

cosmic canyon
#

but it doesnt, on beta?

#

Blizzard is to reliant on dbm/bigwigs to properly telegraph most fights. Many of the mechanics are vague without them.

The number of times my guildies died to lava wave on 10 man 3 drake Sartharion WHILE USING DBM made me so sad

any tips for surviving the trash before third boss in siege

#

getting fucking trucked

celest stone
#

Couple seconds after they are pulled, invaders will do an uninterruptable cast applyingtheir deadly poison, this can be stopped with cc like stormbolt and paralysis etc, they wont recast immediately

last mason
#

and does it go through block?

#

the other mobs are just the captains which shout and charge, and the other one that haste buffs right

#

both of which shouldnt be an issue

#

id think

celest stone
#

when they get the cast off, they start applying their deadly poison debuff on melee swings

#

Feels like the most dangerous part of those pulls by far, esp. if not dispelled

last mason
#

oh ok, so its a ticking debuff that applies to you, rather than extra damage on melee swings?

celest stone
#

A poison debuff that stacks y

last mason
#

ahh ok that makes more sense

#

also another question, the tank buster ob mob, how do you tank his initial hit, and does he swing for phys or magic

#

i have trouble with that sometimes

celest stone
#

By initial cast you mean the spirit breaker? Its phys dmg that cant be blocked

last mason
#

what do you pop for the first hit, just ip then? or demo

celest stone
#

Not sure what warrs usually do in big keys, you can kite the dude and he wont cast it

crimson mulch
#

in higher key levels you usually want some extra defensive/external or a big IP/trinket to eat the hit. as long as you don't get 1 shot you're good because you should be out of melee range after the hit

#

demo + IP is plenty if you're topped usually

#

if you have room to kite you can leap away, if you're outside ~20yds at the end of the cast it does no dmg

mighty gulch
#

my ignore pain weakaura broke with shadowlands, anyone got a replacement?

#

Also is it me or does prot feel extremely weak rn? like i can barely live through anything or hold aggro

crimson mulch
#

nah it's not weak just different

#

it's way weaker relative to the other tanks than it was last season though

mighty gulch
#

idk what i want to play for shadowlands honestly.

#

all these fucking systems just make me not want to play the game

cosmic canyon
#

Alcamz don't lose heart. You're probably gonna love it down the road.

Changes aren't inherently bad. ^^

#

The way I see it: it's gonna be the way the class plays currently + a legendary choice + a covenant choice

#

They will affect your gameplay.

#

You will also lose your heart of azeroth @ azerite pieces

mighty gulch
#

i get that change isn't bad. But at this moment in time, all classes are gimped and fee, like garbage, and all the soulbinds, and legendary effects, covanant abilities, runecarving and so on, i have to learn each effect and guess if it will make the class feel good or not.

cosmic canyon
#

What makes you feel warrior is gimped. Which situations?

#

Your IP aura can be found on wago, on my cell atm so I can't help. But there is at least one that is good.

The one I'm using is part of a bigger warrior defensive uptime aura. Shows sb, ip, etc, etc, etc

mighty gulch
#

The way prot feels atm just feels so clunky and off. I hate the intercept changes, i hate all the pointless filler abilities that i have to just ignore because theyre useless. The talent reshuffle really put me off too.

#

I feel like i gotta wait until all the classes have access to their abilities to make a choice tbh

cosmic canyon
#

The way I feel warrior plays differently atm is that in my case I left clap dancing for snap aggro dragon & more use of revenge. I already played devastator before patch so no change there

#

Try double time or whatever the talent is called

#

I play that too, cause I like the option of charging between mobs in packs & 1x charge every 20sec just wasn't worth it

mighty gulch
#

Honestly i want to play a caster but then i'd be locked into dps limbo

#

tried shaman but it feels bad

cosmic canyon
#

As for clunky I guess I can understand your point. Especially if you didn't use devastator before patch.

Between dragon & ravager there really isn't many moments of nothing to do. Still have issues? Consider other talents to feel "your" pace. For example go haste one instead of ravager.

#

You want to play caster?

#

Warlock, mage & hunter is in a pretty good spot atm

#

Even druid!

#

And druid can also tank. Albeit Idk how well

mighty gulch
#

I tried balance, isn't for me, still miss wotlk balance. But hunter and mage look fun

#

I remember when starfire had a 40% increased crit chance from eclipse, good times

cosmic canyon
#

I've played hunter since beta back in the day. Hunter is bonkers most of the time.

Just, if you don't like what you see in the game atm. Take a little break, still almost 3 weeks to launch and final changes

#

Chin up mate and have a good day!

I think i'll just wait, yeah, thanks.

@modern brook true but rage gen is better

you get far more defensive benefit out of nightfae or kyrian
