And fishing too
Especially in maldraxxus
Who would've thought that green sea had so little fish
I had solid luck with fishing
Gotta be carefull with the debuff in maldraxxus tho
you guys rocking the darkmoon deck haste card?
ive had zero luck getting trinkets in m thinking about just buyin the darkmoon one
Damn, if you go near the big sea. You get a stacking debuff of 10% mora nature damage recieved and 10% reduced healing for 1 min
Stacking up to 9 times
Got jumped by some ally druid while fishing
Fked me up
Don't stand in the radiation sea.
In what situation do you need it now? Theres no drawbacks to waiting until mythic week and just making the highest ilvl one you can
I β€οΈ how arms lego is basically "Wait till you do the raid"
time to start the thunderlord farm i guess
And really you only gain by waiting
Damn
I mean, the Wall drops in Raid too
but at least there is TGV
TGV?
Whats the drop rate for Thunderlord like?
There's 165 craftable pauldrons @strong forum
165 is pretty meh, just get Heoic ones
Yes they're cool but you are shooting yourself in the foot by not simply waiting
I think he's asking because he's never lucky, lol
Imagine not being full 184
173 equipped
I mean I'm still in greens.
Eh, shooting yourself in the foot might be putting it dramatically
So :D
pretty sure there's a 190 boe plate shoulders, can't remember the name
Get rekt @strong forum
You're only shooting yourself in the foot if your goal is to be doing the highest content possible as fast as possible
Most people just want to play the game and see the new cool stuff
Jk I'm crying on the inside because it's a DK
How is grim codex?
You can justify a bad decision all you want its still not a good one
It does a nice burst of damage
I'm saying people don't need to justify shit
Dunno how good it actually is compared to other options
Just let them play
Most people in here asking about legendaries and crafting are asking for the optimal route not the just let me do what I wanna do route
maybe what they want to do is "the optimal route" π
I mean, TBH the best thing is when they take "if you're asking the question you're not doing the content at a level where it matters" to heart π
Pretty much
It's like when people ask if prot condemn is good
Like, no, but you do you
is prot condemn good?

Theres literally no rush to actually get a legendary
None of the content currently will be impacted by you having one
I mean that's true, but also shiny new toys
it's orange brah
And eventually we're gonna have all the legendaries at rank 4 in bags anyways
An orange that's also going to be strictly worse ilvl wise than something you'd have access to next week through drops and or through crafting the legendary then
And considering some of these go on your high stat budget items....
That's even more of a reason to not waste your limited soul ash and your gold on a hasty craft
i don't think the soul ash is wasted, upgrading is just the delta, but you do waste the other mats if your plan is to get a rank 2 right away
That 1 ug DK tbh π . Creepy eyes Kael. Need to work on that Mog game π
Yeah, it's just a gold sink really, unless You're planning on swapping leggos entirely
Tuning isn't done
:)
that's true it's a bit of a gamble
So you do actually have the potential to waste
...but orange...
They're not gonna nerf TGV
They did once before
Yeah, pretty fucking hard
F
know late in convo, but yeah, condemn almost feels like cheating, getting to use it in prot. gr8 button
I'm getting the Wall, but I get why people are crafting now
should u stack ignore pain or just refresh it when duration ends/shield breaks?
Refresh when you know you won't waste unless you're going to overcap rage
coolio
Mostly, if you have extra rage and You're not taking a ton of damage, put the extra rage into revenge
I.e. stack it to the point where you cant and then sit on the rage and not waste it
Whether that means you revenge
Or you wait to cast IP again depends on the situation
F
still rocking 155 one
thankx all
Revenge is beautiful. Condemn is beautiful. Dragon Roar and Ravager may also help makeup on dps, if that's the need
yea, i think i bought that one too, lol
price was good compared to how high everyhting else is
Wish we had rerolls
Gonna take forever to get a BiS shield
Late response but ugly is exactly what I want from my undead boi, the mog is just something I threw on to hide the ugly mismatch from getting gear
stats won't matter
i like pvp tho
3s especially
ye, i think its something like 1500ish honor total to max it
i used it until i got a lucky m0 drop
that's awesome, I bought one for 40k and waiting to see if i get a drop this week before i equip it, 30k was a steal
Now this is a beauty of aesthetics except for the shoulders that I forgot to transmog after getting

I want that thunderfury mog. don't know where it is
Panda rise up
Panda bear when
there's a tmogger in Oribos
really? dang. it's bad enough we never get a new AH, for like 16 years now
whenever someone at blizzard class design team will get so drunk he decides to make panda druids @chilly brook
Gotta give engineers some kind of incentive

aye, I mean they have plenty of other cool stuff too. I think Blizz does it cuz they know we'd never want to look at Stormwind again if there wasn't an AH there
we'd let the horde have the capital, lol. "Oh u want Stormwind? no problem." so they make it have the AH
What stats the chest enchant gives? everything? just secondaries? primary?
every time I go up to a longboi in oribos, cross my fingers dude doesn't run off with the AH while I'm clicking
That's what you get for being a furry

That's what you get for being a furry [2]
I hear that's what you get for being a furry
Nice
I'm jealous
I want that mog
Too bad I can never get it
I blame that jackass in my guild that ruined the chosen run on my plate character
On purpose

i'm just dabbing on people with completed mage tower and chosen run
I have the leather set and the title at least
funnily enough, i was one of the first people on Gordunni to complete prot warrior mage tower

because there were barely any prot warris back in that day
RU WoW community is so dumb it chases meta with extreme fanaticism
That set is so ugly
just like every single dungeon set since Legion
Yep
Alliance BfA quest gear was neat tho
Undead heritage armor when
Literally the Darkshore equipment?
Are all 190 ilvl items boes?
Same reason why Orc Orcs (not to be confused with Maghar) don't have heritage armor - PVP gear.
yes
Cool
totally worthless tho
My resto healer got the shield and shoulders during runs and hooked me up. π
That's a nice teammate π
Pretty sure they said all races would be getting them
It's like saying we had top hats and suits in the game already so no worgen heritage armor
they did say that all races will get heritage armor as time goes on
it takes quiet some time for it to go from first concepts to a complete model
So I suppose the challenge would be to impliment it without it being a copy of BFA PVP Gear
with them being unique
there are a lot of sets that have the needed aesthetic
and designers need to nail it because of this
I don't think it would be too difficult tbh
Like if you want something that fits the forsaken without stepping on the warfront set lean into the plague aspect
Or tattered lordaeron stuff
Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
Hey guys i wanna to ask you how you hold threat as warrior in big grps,
? In BFA i had no issues at all but now its rly weird i lose threat and if my mates do huge dmg its super hard to get it back .. can someone help?
Very easily
Spear+ravager
And revenge when needed or when you can spare the rage
Revenge does a lot of damage
If all else fails remember you have challenging shout
It might be becausd im 110 gs aswell dunno and ty a lot gonna try this
don't forget to clap 'em, not as thicc as it used to be, but still worth using
How does warri looking in generell i mean i enjoy playing it but most of the ppl say hes the worst tank atm
The gap between tanks is like π€
This should answer your question
Holy moly
Normally I see someone talking about how warrior is bottom of the bowl and dude is slapping Shield black while the mob is casting, or not spell reflecting a bolt, or not hitting IP when they have a DoT on them..so...take it with a grain of salt.
what vid is that Griff cant see, blind at work
ok
Is haste the the prio stat nr 1 cause of SB ?
ilvl > haste >somethingsomething
20% feels like it's going back to normal now
next week tho...
Until you still see that π sized gap in your SB uptime, and remember how things used to be.
Ty guys
@still pagoda just wait til i dab on everyone else by having every tanks mage tower appearance

it wasnt worth having no life tbh
Wait, Vulpera = furry?
TGV on first heroic run after 2 m0 lockouts....2 184 shields....wtf is going on with my RNG
only one i even use regularly is paladins
paw didnt you have like 60 normal attempts or something
gibb me one
It didnt take that much time
nah dawg

Imagine having a 155 shield
right after doing whole lockout hour ago

bruh i have a 148 shield
Oof
@still pagoda what set is that?
mythic ToV
Cant get the set anymore afaik
How bad is pvp as a banner boi?
Just partial
yo, sorry if this has been answered
but what is the chance of thunderlords droping in HC

its 3/Fishbowl id say, the droprate
that high huh
ye kinda huge
Why canβt you get it?
Bolster talent still solid? anger management is the way to go right? found a guy that says i should use bolster in plaguefall
both viable but i like AM better
if i played bolster on that pull, i prolly wouldnt have had to jump out
but i play full damgur
Is there a reason as to why I shouldn't get the legendary this week? I'm planning on putting thunderlords on a pair of boots since there are no boots with haste+vers and I just need to pay 15k gold + 750 Soul Ash next week to upgrade them to T2. So far this makes sense to me but I don't wanna gimp myself
are haste+vers the main stats now?
That's what I've come to understand, If I'm wrong then I'd love to be corrected
I would love to get informed tho, not trying to put you into question
because theres a chance that legendaries are buffed/nerfed heavily on mythic release week
ilvl >> haste >>> vers>=crit > mastery
Yeah Ilvl overall
vers for a more defensive approach for raiding and high m+
Considering you don't need them for m0 if say hold off until next reset
crit for more dmg and midrange keys
M0 are a cakewalk atm so you got a good point Perrin
Yeah I'm all crit/haste
But not planning on mytic raid tanking or anything. I live in he high key and now torghast world
Yall are missing out by nothing venthyr btw.
9k condemns alllll day
cries in banner
Dude I wanted to be necro. Why does banner have to suck
Think I might wait then to see If any of the legendaries are getting nerfed/buffed then
My favorite covenant
it's literally only useful during lust
I think if they just made the banner attach to your back it would balance it
And it would be thematic. Like a general running around supporting the lines with his aura
or just make it another shout
Not as cool
just make it give haste instead of crit chance
and tune it so it doesnt give ridiculous amounts of haste
or make it not limited to 3 people in melee range, increase the amount of abilities that increase the buff uptime and stacks, SS alone is dogshit
reduce the CD
that would be a start
like max glory stacks would give u 10%
if i had it i would tie it to a /yell of the quote from Conan every time I used it
1.5 min CD, reduce the max stacks, increase abilities that empower it
done
good button
Regardless I think the immobility is the problem. Have to change that or the CD
Yeah that works too nom
the 3min CD is the thing hurting it the most
I like my blade master banner idea better though cause looks :)
or maybe the banner summons a necrolord warrior that mirrors what you do for like 15 seconds or some shit
Now we gettin wacky
Now let avatar transform me into a necro beefy guard.
Those guys are monsters.
Nah it's a dmg modified execute. Its fine
70% of dmg comes from condemn ST kinda nutty
Mine too, but I also line up CDs around it
The thing you have to keep in mind about condemn is
It looks bigger than it is
You lose opportunity cost alot
It's also balanced by being shit for most packs compared to kyrian/fae
And it's a rage dump
Because you only cast condemn when available
So it's skewing perception
Especially on arms and fury
It's not that it does broken dmg
You just use it 55% of the time over any other button
yeah but its like taking away from the other warrior skills when all you do is condemn and still pump
Well that's execute for you..
yea you can use it 55% of the time but its only like 2% better than the other convenants
Same button but 35% instead of 55% of the time
I'm confused about how Thunderlord works. The tooltip says up to 4.5 sec reduction on Demo Shout. Does that mean it only reduces the CD to 41.5 sec?
It's 4.5sec reduction max per thunderclap
Reduces the Cd every time you clap cheeks
Not reduced to 4.5sec
oh, I see
Reduced by 4.5
thanks. The wording is a little confusing
Haven't had that issue yet
not really. As it grants you up to 4.5 seconds of cooldown reduction
I canβt believe the tooltip for deathmaker legendary was wrong lol
i skipped most of the side quests for bastion, so going back and doing the WQs it seems like a lot of them were extensions of the side quests, so at least for me weren't very intuitive
Is thunderlord and the wall best in slot legendarys ?
That's literally their intended design Arathel, they're puzzles
Guess I have to evolve my brain, used to just slamming and clapping until it's complete.
How much Soul Ash do I need to imbue a 210 item?
Well people complained about only kill or talk quests
2k
More than you can get to this week π
Oh so it's only for Heroic AOTC first week sweathards
Next week you can craft a rank 2
I enjoy faceroll dailies, ngl
prefer my puzzles in M+
I prefer faceroll in m+
lol
Puzzles as wqs

I cannot wait to see how many keys we throw in mists
that's going to be amazing at a high key
I cannot wait to see how dead tyrannical weeks will be
Literally impossible in so many dungeons
Watch heroic week be tyra
Watch it
Isnβt the schedule out?
there's new affixes right? can't tell what it is until we get a full rotation
Week 1 tyr would be the ultimate troll
Got Memory of the Thunderlord, should I use it on Feet/Hands? π
_Ignoring what your alternative items are for each slot, here's a rule of thumb for legendary crafting slot selection:
Chest >= Legs >= Head > Ring = Amulet > Shoulders
= Boots >= Belt = Gloves > Wrist > Cloak
This is generally going to be the most bang for your buck out of the extra ilvl, with some variance on the relative value of jewelry depending on what you are optimizing for._
I'm never gonna get that memory ./cry
You guys running UF or Ravager?
Ravager
Ravager
ty π
Ravager feels so good
Cheers β€οΈ
Don't do it yet @sweet kayak
Mythic week tuning may fuck you over
TGV is definitely balanced compared to its original(and also Legion) state
But blizz are blizz
And they may berf it anyway
Itβs a low chance, unless youβre pushing higher end content I wouldnβt worry about it
What other candidates are there apart from the wall though?
I cleared all M0 last week - I'm pushing bleeding edge content brah

the ceiling

The floor
Best way to get a guarantee a 1h and shield is through pvp or am I missing something?
The door
TO THE WINDOOOOOOW
πͺ 
TO THE WALL
πͺ
I went necro anyway, if they buff the banner that would be cool. but I'd rather do 2 years fun stuff what I want, than be marginally better at the start of expansion
Fair point. But I'm condemn addicted now. I guess I have to throw a fkin vampire party
I'm Kyrian, but them Venthyr mogs are sexy
Hmmm okay I will wait π
Venthyr for DK is actually great
Only thing making me miss venthyr is theotar
Unlike with prot warri
sexy fucker
lol got this from my calling today
useless
motherfucker


Gz bro
oh is Piercing verdict rare?
You just jealous of my long thick condemns
I got the green version
You can only get it from callings, world bosses and World quests
So yes, kinda
Got execute conduit from today's calling. Enough to make every single dps warri in the guild go REEEEEEEEE
184 is current max level you can get

huh. I got that one like day 1 so guess luck was on my side
Yes very
Legendaries are back on the menu but some players aren't ordering? why tho?

Btw
I'm gonna be the reason Thunderlord gets nerfed! Ya'll welcome
anybody got a trinket teir list?
Defensively
S-TIER
Hakkar Trinket
A
B
C
D
E
F - rest of the tank trinkets
^
Decanter from kaal too
Darkmoon Deck Voracity is also very strong
I feel like my 130 Chumbawumba's bandages and 125 LPS are better tank trinkets than 100% of all the current M0 tank trinkets
But it costs like a train
25k on my server
Will need to check for prices in Draenor
Lps is better than 90% of tank trinkets
when I say tank I mean defensive trinket
Saw it for 50k last week
But hakkar is better than LPS
also got 184 Inspiring presence
There is also a new version of LPS from sire
I saw that one, looks good to me, 60 sec CD again, gimme
Same trinket basically, 1min cd
FOMO=fear of missing out
Depends on pulls and context tbh, but sure thing both are great options
But yeh sire is also good
@chilly brook already figured out
these are the ones i have. which two would you suggest?
Gluttonous spike is also great from hungern destroyer
Insignia of alacrity seems good too though
Decanter and overwhelming power crystal I think
^
The rest you can throw away
Just disenchant them
aight thats what i was thinking . i went with the eqquip effects
No need to throw away
So uhhh Tgods is still bis right?
For m +
Because I'm gonna shoot myself if I have to run another goddamn Spires
Ye, Im not bothering with grinding it before m+
Why would it be faster then?
I haven't been on today to check, but I heard blizz just removed the daily lockout for heroics
Higher drop rate I imagine
not sure if true
Yes
mine dropped on heroic
You can spam specific HCs now
Another 20 runs of spire today. I'm on 105 in total. Still no drop...
holy krap!
Might submit a ticket my account is bugged.
have you been doing heroics today or normal?
Yea fr. It was like maybe 10 normal runs total for me lol
One word
Insanity
swap to HC at least if you haven't and you're still running
Don't grind it
I got thunderlord on first try 
Guess it will be better that way
Of course it will
I am sorry, though. That's miserable
can you not stack weightstone and embalmers oil?
either or
damn
also....... i bought 1000 abyssal healing potions for like 5k.... thats 5,000 minutes of healing potions.... and not that worse than the current ones.. just fyi to the broke warriors out there
@still pagoda did just 2 runs m0 and heroic rn
we can spam heroic now btw
not locked
Anyone here not do their mythic 0s for the week?
What missive to use on legendary? π Haste/Versta?
ye ill use it. need vers for keys
Do you really? With vers stacking go boom as corruptions are no more
And your stat budget won't allow for much vers anymore
Depends, i would put haste/crit personally
well we need some anyway
Depends
ok. i need some π
Hmm okay
Unless you're pushing absolute high keys, vers is gonna be meh
our stat prio was posted several times and vers>= crit so im fine with it
im #versboi
Prot is not arms
Shhhhhhhh
Haste nets you much more damage than any other stats
I distinctly told you to not listen to me :)
what a liar haha
I'm condemn/seismic machine
We all are liars 
You use Condemn as Prot?
I'm finding it hard to make AoE threat in dungeons and was considering switching to Kyrian from Venthyr tbh
Revenge now has a static proc rate of 3RPPM
How do you do it?
Too late to switch if you don't want to miss out on one week of stuff
You can still swap
In the grand scheme it's notable big deal
But I think you can manage without covenant ability
I'm venthyr
In an absolutely niche situation of patchwerk-style bosses
You are jealous of my ST meter. Its ok
It's reassuring to know it's possible without Kyrian, guess I just need practice
what about your aoe deeps ? π
π₯³
404: Not found
Should I be saving Demoralizing Shout for use with Avatar and Spear of Bastion if im using Booming Voice?
Okay yeah cause it seems like its cooldown will match up with like every other Avatar/Spear cd
and my Avatar has been resetting about 3-10 sec before spear as well
Okay, yeah ive been using it on CD just didnt know if that was the best to do. Not that im having issues with Dps right now or holding aggro haha
Biggest thing is getting more used to the Dungeons because i often find myself out of rage from Revenge and cant use Shield block when i need it
ye true. but in m0 for example i dont even need sb that much. i dont feel like im taking any damage at all
πͺ
i mean melee damage ofc
@hard cypress you really shouldn't use rage on revenge other than using it:
A) in the beginning to get aggro, or
B) you're totally rage capped and have more than enough ignore pain up that you don't need more, or
C) the content is trivial and you wanna pump them numbers up.
The drop rate on Thunderlord is either absolute garbo or RNG hates me. π
could be both π
Iβve conceded to relying on my weekly mythic to get it.
30 runs deep and I just donβt want to run normal anymore
You can spam heroic now
Ye they patched it
Just an FYI, if you use the LFD queue for Spire you have a decent to good chance of taking the spot of the Pwarr that just dropped group after 3rd boss. Have had a few of those already
Heroic dungeon lockout? Do they mean the daily lockout if you specific queue?
Yes
Finally got Thunderlord after my 23rd run today. Did something around 25 yesterday
grats!
Wewt
Gz gz
Now time to see a therapist... hehe
I've just barely gotten into Normals. I made the mistake of putting the first Warrior I leveled into Kyrian. I hate the Kyrian asthetic. Second Warrior is in Necrolords, much better
How much of a pain is tanking Heroics compared to Normal (and m0 beyond that)
Heroics is a pretty small step up from normal. M0 is a bit bigger step up from Heroics, at least if you're pugging so you have to assume everyone in the group is rather clueless
I'm pretty used to puffing, there's a lot of people in my guild that wouldn't mind going with me as well.
Pugging*
I'm more worried about Warriors being ...thought about poorly when forming groups
Statwise there is no difference, you should look at the content you plan to do and then choose the one where you dont get a piece with haste + vers
Alrighty, here's looking forward to tanking Mythics :D
for example there are no m+ boots with haste vers

Idgaf about aesthetics
Put my warri into kyrian and went on with all the dailies and weeklies
Skeleboys have superior aesthetics but a dumb ability. life is ruff
I do care, the primary reason I play this game is for xmog and to look cool. If I don't like how the covenant looks I'm not playing it. Especially if it really doesn't work with the character
New place looks like skyhold? Imma rock some skyhold goodies again
Namely now rare transmog items

I actually hate the necrolord aesthetic
Well, I dunno, it's fine
But it feels like Wow has used it conceptually about a million times before
I guess if it it's not broke
Eastern Plaguelands 2.0 imo
lol no neck yet?
rng can be relentless
The HoA is over budgeted stat wise anyways, it's still pretty good
It's preference, I don't push content hard enough for it to matter so I'm going to go with what I like
You can surely get CE with whatever covenant you want
Especially as a tank
Frankly, covenants aren't so impactful for tanks
My DH disagrees. Other than that, sure
i mean the reality is
Just give blizz one big tuning pass and you will see elysian decree nerfed
if you're underperforming your covenant isnt gonna be the reason
if you're a necrolord warrior and you're spiking all the damn time, that wont change by going kyrian or night fae.
I would imagine so Karton, but it has been absurdly good for so long, it's hard to see how they've missed it through several beta patches
But as of right now, it's on a twilight dev level of stupid.
you ok mate?
LOL my keyboard just twitched out
I reckon he had a stroke. He'll be fine. Or dead.
isnt venthyr also pretty competitive for VDH
Why not go full HAM
Yeah, not complaining, it was fun
but end of the day, being the best covenant might make certain situations a bit easier but it wont magically make you better
Also VDH is a consolidation of all sorts of degenerate gameplay and turtling

Has been so since BfA
Almost by design
I'm still getting used to the changes for expac, and the Devastator talent is messing with me as well, I'm used to hitting Devastate out of habbit
Because entirety of VDH's design was around artifact weapon
And blizz didn't care to rework or bake it into the spec
I mean just the fact that they made their blink the best dps ability in the game (or at least close to) was a red flag
Yeah
I do like the Shield Slam resets tho, can't complain about that.
the problem with DH that i always had, at least with havoc
is that they took utility away from a shit ton of melee dps specs
then gave it all to havoc
Havoc is pure degeneracy imo
and said "here new class lol"
And Vengeance will fall off when the other tank specs get enough secondary stats in 9.2 or so
@still pagoda do some bgs if have time for free haste vers gear
All tank specs are good unless you are pushing for the WF raid completion/keys
For free haste* gear
I'm really not a fan of the "everything is viable" philosophy
i mean
right now it's true
Been true for years
and the line for a tank being viable is pretty fuckin low
Honestly Ret is pretty powerful rn, Havoc has fallen off imo. @still pagoda yep, I'm talking about players moving away from them because the more stats other tanks get the more skill will be needed to get VDH up there.
@pliant sage idgaf about pugs being morons
I mean, it's not a coincidence that you saw warriors all over the m+ ranks and monks all over the raiding ranks in BFA
I do, it's how I interact with the game.
So is the new conduit tree we got this week better than pelagos?
bruh
Go find friends already then π₯³
after world top ten M n'zoth kills you started seeing all kinds of tanks
warriors, paladins, bears, DHs.
:( when I start getting into gear I'll work with the guild I'm in to do that.
Of course you do, but shuffle as a progression mechanic is extremely valuable. Whether you're world first or knuckedragging 9 months later. It makes things easier. Doesn't mean you have to have a monk, but will it cut down your attempts a little bit? Sure.
no it wont
Can't they help you instead of wasting time?
It's a guild after all
in raid only thing that matters is literally not dying
Not some random bunch of egoists
Yes, and shuffle makes that a hell of a lot easier to do
if you can play your spec well you will achieve that easily regardless of the spec
@still pagoda probably. The main thing I was wasting time with was leveling a second Warrior instead of pushing through gear.
Thats why monks are good in raids. They are not dying lol
anyone else getting bad luck on Thunderlord drop
what if someone wants to be the best, like no one ever was?
One guy got it after 23 runs
You can assume people who are still progressing after 9 months can't play their spec well
you see monks in world first a lot because they're easier to heal
not because their mitigation is better
Where does thunderlord drop?
an undergeared brewmaster is easier to heal than an undergeared warrior or paladin
Its a legend
I got the revenge one. Is it any good?
but after the first month of the raid being out you can easily outgear mythic without even touching it, so it's borderline irrelevant.
It's not irrelevant to the poeple who are still struggling with the content
if theyre still struggling with it nine fuckin months later switching to monk wont solve their problems
better than no legendary, not better than Wall for Raid and Thunderlord for M+
As time goes and your first full clear goes farther and farther away from WF in world ranks, absolute ease of use is the only thing that makes monk "better"(and even then it is an illusion as instead of dying, you tax your healer to the point of wiping raid)
It certainly won't hurt their problems either
it certainly can
switching to a tank you're not used to playing for the sake of meta can easily hurt progression.
I don't think anyone is suggesting you reroll after 9 months of raiding
THIS
then what tf are you arguing
I play whatever i want
That a fixed, hypothetical player will typically have an easier time (and thus perform better) by playing a FOTM spec over an underpowered spec.

This is why Maldraxxus is the best

Yes, it matters more at the cutting edge, but simpler is simpler
They understand warriors!
Simple doesn't mean the best
My grandma can drive faster in a Ferrari than a Fiat, even though neither of them makes her Lewis Hamilton
You will still fuck up on monk if you fuck up on warri
And you will kill your healer instead
I had to google Lewis Hamilton
if you can't tank as warrior, you can't tank as monk.
Well, if I have to pick between a dead healer and a dead tank, I prefer the dead healer
And he will go rightfully bitch about you on PoS
if you can't tank, you can't tank
And we will get another Fetid Log
having someone switch to fotm doesn't usually fix the actual problem
I prefer none. L2P
Agree, and at no point did I suggest people switch
i dont understand what you're arguing
Probably because you really don't want to understand. It's hard to make someone understand when they've set their mind on disagreeing.
Oh, bad people playing good specs doesn't make them good players. Often what makes a good spec is complicated and easy to mess up
The first part is true, the second part not really. Monks in raiding have been both easy and 'good'.
i mean no, it's because your logic is honestly confusing. a fixed, hypothetical player, will perform very similar whether playing monk, or paladin, or bear, or DH. if someone can't tank, they can't tank period. having them on a different tank won't change this. what you often see is someone will switch to a fotm spec because they think it's better and will make them play better, but it doesn't, because at the end of the day, they're still at step one: learn to tank. you're correct, monks in raiding have recently been pretty simple to pick up, and a good choice. so is literally every tank. all of the tanks are good in raiding. you only see monks in world first race because everyone is undergeared and undergeared monks (and DKs, to an extent) are a lot easier to heal than anything else.
i get what you're trying to say man, but i really disagree.
That's okay, it was obvious from your first reply that you were going to disagree with whatever I said
Let me ask something. Why are we even talking about dat shit here? :)
As someone who plays all tanks, and is somewhere in the middle between WF and 9 months knuckledragger I find it easier to play on a FOTM tank. I guess that's all the firm statement I can make. You may experience it otherwise.
Well, presumably because it's a topic that always gets people to talk π
im sorry we hurt your feelings
Np Np my man
Can you show us on this doll where the bad monk touched you?
would you rather go back to seven people asking whether kyrian and night fae is best?
sorry that was a gimme and i had to say that
i love you coba
Me: Why would they make the drop rates on this shit so low
Also me, 2 runs in:
ikusame you just offended everyone in here
I hate you
who was the guy who was on 60 attempts?
All my luck is spent for the expansion I imagine.
@valid kraken Took me 39 runs but eventually got It, just gotta do 1 run at a time
I was planning on just doing 2-3 runs a day and pacing myself
17 here, some guy last night said he was at 64 runs
poor guy
Got at 11 π
Is the droprates the same in all difficulties or do you want to grind m0?
might be easier now that heroic is repeatable
Anyone know if the drop rate is higher on higher difficulties?
ye drop rate increases with difficulty
so when M+ drops it'll be a lot easier to get
and raid ones im pretty sure are 100% drop
puttin this shit on my boots for mximum swatg
Is it worth buying a 235 legendary this week or can I not craft it to 235 yet?
I got revenge leggo for some reason
Since I heard 190 on legendaries are the limit for this week
Tgv nerf inc
if you have the gold/mats it's definitely worth waiting in the long run
... oh great the boots dont cover the soles of my feet so it looks weird
Leif, so basically buying a 190 is enough for this week?
Ill give you feet pic in 1 min
A legendary that is
so i know what everyone says... ilevel > stats , but its 90 haste. so what do you guys think?
thats what i was thinking
Color matters though. Purple > Blue.
Gotta show them online
Item with better sell price is better btw
And back. Love being at work and interrupted from hobbies.
Mad world
our guild has been trying to get people to wait on their legos because of possible pending balancing, does the π’ π΅ π community feel different? I can't imagine them changing something like thunderlord as it is?
The general consensus here is of a similar mind - people seem to be suggesting to wait until raid tuning before crafting. However, I have a small peabrain and like the color orange, so I crafted TGV already.
i mean i got the memory just burning a hole in my bags lol
Where exactly does the Piercing Verdict conduit drops in higher ilvl?
should I just build Thunderfury lego ? or should I wait
its my alt and im only using it for m+
I think the Wall is still significantly better in M+, I'd just wait
I'm not sure, but I got 184 from a Calling reward
that's insane - I'm still gimping around with 145 while I have a bunch of 184 arms/fury conduits π
But honestly if you just wanna build the thunderlord leggo because orange items go brrrrr, that's also valid
Anyone else experiencing a low drop rate for thunderlord lego? 15+ runs and no drop still.
So uhh.... 'Scratched Knife' and bosses in Torghast.... Can we talk about this Blizzard? bruh..
Is there a Penalty for zoning in/out of Torghast over and over? I just got scratched knife as my starter choice for the 3rd 'tier' ? of one of the new wings. Avatar + that ability literally 1 shot the final boss, 192k damage..non crit, just a base hit.
Also is the plan to make 'the wall' as our shoulder piece I'd imagine?
is the first great vault limited ilvl in any way
or do we want to get a 14 done next week?
I literally don't know; but if history is any evidence the first week M+ opens up it's ilevel is hamstrung a bit..to prevent you from overgearing heroic before even stepping foot in it.
I'd guess it's gonna' be capped lower than it will be once mythic raid opens up, and they uncap M+ gear for the tier.
well i know that end-of-run loot will be capped at m+5
Anyone got a zonewide parse on the worldquest trinket I just saw for the first time today..the Vial of Caustic Liquid?
just wondering about the GV on mythic tuesday
Lmao, I've never seen that power
What the fuck?
End of dungeon is capped at +5?
That seems weird, end of dungeon doesn't even drop better than heroic now
am I just doomed if I go venthyr for raid but might need to tank m+ (14s for GV) or is it not that bad?
is prot looking good so far? I havent even logged into shadowlands yet due to having no time
It's probably pretty good in raid, night fae and Kyrian are just like 10x better in m+
Vis a vis Venthyr, I mean
Prot is looking fine, tyr
I worded that poorly. I dps in raid but might need to tank m+ for the guild.
Oh, I mean, you won't be pushing highest keys, but you'll be fine
yeah you'll be fine
cool yeah, I kind of figured. just unfortunate that I can't switch
venthyr too fun as arms/fury
i cant stomach another spires of acension
if you're trying to push front page keys it might be a hindrance
100+ runs
for that demo uptime obvs
yeah not as prot at least :P
oh is there a lego recipe in there?
Yes and no :)
there is but it dont drop
47 runs in and still hasnt dropped
im pretty sure it is
fuck yeah. got thunderlord on about 12 runs
literally came here to bitch about this drop rate
meanwhile others get BiS legos from a set solid 1500 honor
just give us BLP on these drops lol
i dont think i understand why thunderlord is even good
BV
40 rage plus dmg boost every time you DS
TC drops DS CD
= good
also, if you played Legion it was amazing, sad they capped they targets for CDR
its worth even st scenarios?
Whats the rotation for pulling? I'm having troubles keeping threat at the start of the pull
The Wall seems better in almost every case as near as I can tell
Drop everything ASAP; charge, clap, demo, rava/spear, revenge etc
no
thundergod=more demo shout uptime= more rage generation
YMMV when m+ drops when you wonβt be going as mongo
Eeeeeh, maybe, but I think filling the gaps in our mitigation is a bigger get
More overall damage sure, more revenge
Spear is big snap threat also
Survivability wise, the DR isn't reliable, our biggest weakness is when SB isn't up and if you want to get the most value out of TGV you're using DS on CD
Which means you can't reliably use it to fill gaps
Even if you could, it's not great at it
Quick question regarding gearing - wow head site seems to imply that sockets are the highest priority ahead of haste then vers. This seems to imply that a piece of gear that is the same ilvl but maybe not as good secondary stats with a haste gem is better/more value than a piece with same ilvl but haste/vers
Is that true or am I reading that incorrectly?
I still say yall missin out with no condemn :))))
that's what my second warrior is for π
More stats>better stats @elder cosmos
unless you're pushing world firsts stats dont matter
after 47 normal runs, and 6 heroic runs i got it

heroic has a higher chance right?
Aye
you guys using gloves or boots for the thunderlord? Also I'm guessing haste and vers?
boots is better but its best to hold off until mythic week in case tuning changes things
@rough needle The one situation I could see TGV being better is if we had enough haste to significantly close our mitigation gaps, like if we managed some crazy 50% haste build like mw monks had in nya
(They had more than 50% but still)
most of the fights in CN are multitarget, even without UF you still get a lot of value out of thunderlord. it's still a significant CD reduction.
im bad at words
but generally, both are good legendaries atm.
@sweet summit got thunderlord after you responded. Thanks for your blessing

honestly i think it depends if you like kiting or not lol
Getting slighty pissed off at these legendary drop chances, i've done more runs and higher torghast progression than another warrior in my guild, he has 4, i have 1
bc with thunderlord you're inevitably gonna be kiting a lot more
Seismic reverb with ravager, spamming revenge π yolo
Yeah, I could see maybe some high damage kite gameplay with TGV maybe
Would feel weird as a warrior
The traditional stand there and get punched in the face tank
Sorry new frog here, Lvling through Dungeons as prot, new to tanking, is prot actually "bad"? im having mad fun with it so far
all tanks are chad levels of fun
k good because im having mad chad fun
is the devastator talent playstyle any good? is there more downtime?
yes to both
It's not, but there's more of it
tbh, there's still more abilities on GCD than legion, so i dont mind having some room between globals
devastate is just such an unsatisfying ability to hit
it was weird at first in legion, but never wanted to go back once i got used to it
fillers are ass when they dont do much
It is wot it is
Probably gonna have to tank heroic nathria for my guild what trinkets would u guys recommend?
just dps trnkets?
Hey guys
I have a problem
I have a squad of friends who's in my guild, we did achievements all mythic dungeons together etc
i am so tired of spires already
Rogue dps, warrior dps, wlock dps, me and hpala
And I seem to have trouble holding aggro on trash pulls sometimes
Even when the rogue tricks me
I got 180 ilvl, thunderlord legendary
Full enchant
war ripping agro?
Sometimes it's warriors sometimes rogue when he dosnt tricks
how many mobs are u pulling
