west prairie
#

is the wall the best way to go for my first legendary, pretty useful across the board

#

or is there better

fierce tendon
#

Other people like thunderlords but the wall is really solid for raiding in particular

#

War leggos kinda dog

midnight oar
#

I think ill go thunderlord since I main spec arms and ill probably dps this week in raids

#

make wall next week

west prairie
#

I'm thinking the same

#

I wanna make all the legendarys

#

haha

fierce tendon
#

theres like only 2 or 3 good war legendaries tho :p

#

for prot

west prairie
#

still

midnight oar
#

Should thunderlord go feet or hands

mossy gazelle
#

Hey guys, I main arms in pvp, so can I choose keila/kyrian for prot M+?

west prairie
#

I wanna try em

fierce tendon
#

also might be smart to build after u get one of those pieces

midnight oar
#

alright ill just look at whatever is best upgrade for now

#

Whats the chance I'd be fine with *the wall *in M+

#

those shoulders are hot hot hot

steady spruce
ebon tide
#

Ty sir

formal river
#

@midnight oar you can never go wrong with the wall. it's our best in raid as well

#

thunderlord probly better for M+

midnight oar
#

if its brutal I know what ill be crafting next week 😉

formal river
#

more demo uptime is super useful in M=

midnight oar
#

gah

steel mauve
midnight oar
#

thanks, boots coming in hot

dry lance
#

Is there a world boss this week?

rare quartz
#

Are the new lvls of torghast still easy doing it solo prot? Or do I need to change specs

fierce tendon
#

First floor I had to reset a few times because I got the caster mob as the boss first, but once you get enough powers its easy

mellow geyser
lavish oracle
#

@dry lance ardenweald

mellow geyser
#

@rare quartz You can do it, but it's really longer.

lavish oracle
#

I got the stacking spear power and the perma execute power

#

And just hung around on the first floor stacking them up

#

It was beautiful

fierce tendon
#

On torghast I noticed that it gives you the same powers at the beginning every time, is this intended? I get the shield slam cdr and some other garbage one not worth picking

lavish oracle
#

I think it's seeded for the week

#

It's to keep you from fishing for a God tier power at the door

strong forum
#

I never got the same powers

#

On start

#

Ever

fierce tendon
#

Yuck lol. I remember the first time I went in 7 there was 1 other anima orb and I just got bodied by the first floor boss lol

lavish oracle
#

I tried fishing for powers last night, got the same 2 5 times in a row

#

Would be very surprised if it's not locked in in some manner

fierce tendon
#

maybe if you complete?

lavish oracle
#

Yeah, I'm not sure what the rules are

naive panther
#

I’ve tried to game it as well. Always got same powers to start.

chilly brook
#

Is limit on a break?

lavish oracle
#

Yeah, they just went on lunch

chilly brook
#

Gotcha just saw lightee doing arenas

#

And I think he swapped to BrM for SLG

lavish oracle
#

They managed to get Growl to run M+ for their benched players

#

Which is like, a huge get

chilly brook
#

That's pretty dope

modern brook
#

ie: if your layer 8 has 2 shitter options

#

you can complete a layer 1

#

and have 2 different shitter options

lavish oracle
#

Oh interesting

#

The tech

modern brook
#

the general consensus is either a) get a friend or b) get better drops for layer 8

#

apparently its much harder

#

i ahvent done it on my warrior yet though

naive panther
#

Not surprised.

modern brook
#

I'd say by sunday after M+ and raid ppl should be able to better solo it

lavish oracle
#

I got lucky in layer 7 but it seemed pretty rough

quaint fjord
#

hello, sorry for dumb question but is overhead slash (spires of ascension first boss) avoidable ?

lavish oracle
#

Guess I'll need to buddy up with an hpally friend

#

Yes, @quaint fjord

solemn aspen
#

yes it is

#

side step it

quaint fjord
#

ok thanks guys

chilly brook
modern brook
#

I have to do it on my rogue first 🤮

#

rogue is so shit in there it hurts

chilly brook
#

But I mean the amount that I've been able to smash level 6 I don't see either 7 or 8 being an issue tbh

#

As long as I dont have shit powers anyways

#

Execute power is nuts

#

It's basically free

modern brook
#

execute power is nuts dude

#

so good

chilly brook
#

If you get execute power with the increased damage to targets affected by your shots and the 100% increased damage after charge or leap

modern brook
#

My general priority has been: elemental damage on hit > ragemote from 6th floor shop> execute> throat bands

chilly brook
#

65k non crit executes

#

Ragemote with execute power is super free

modern brook
#

rage mote is super free tbh

somber sky
#

i mean isn't it what it literally is? XD

modern brook
#

imo its not really worth it unless its onsale in 6th floor shop

chilly brook
#

The only crappy thing is at least a week or two ago ragemote means you don't get any heals from indom

modern brook
#

unless you have like edgelurker as your other option

#

lol

chilly brook
#

Cuz it just makes it all free so you're not actually "spending" rage

wintry jetty
#

just finished 8, didn't have ragemote on 6th, still was free

modern brook
#

good to hear

wintry jetty
#

(with execute power, and 3 damage on shouts)

modern brook
#

lol...

chilly brook
#

But then again if you have ragemote it's also a dead mob with execute

modern brook
#

SW on IP cast is also bonkers tbh

chilly brook
#

It is

modern brook
#

Honestly like all of warriors options are really good

chilly brook
#

Big facts

#

Well not all

remote python
#

status war prot hast + mastery + versa?

cinder roost
#

What would you pick considering I already have both in 200?

wintry jetty
#

all of prot options*

chilly brook
#

Increased duration on berserker rage is kinda ass

modern brook
#

is polyvalence == vers?

cinder roost
#

Oh

modern brook
#

also lol @ score de crit

cinder roost
#

I'm stupid

#

Yeah

chilly brook
#

Yo dude I want the hate stat

modern brook
#

Je parle francias un pue ? i tihnk thats right

chilly brook
#

That sounds warrior af

modern brook
#

LOL HATE

#

French jokes aside I think the rings p good

cinder roost
#

I hate making choice

modern brook
#

or neckless

#

idk

chilly brook
#

Tbh I'd just go with the higher ilvl

#

All that haste vers

lavish oracle
#

Can't pass up a 136 haste ring, haha

#

Testing out ITF just makes me want more haste

#

Where's the weekly dungeon quest, btw

#

Oh, nvm, found it

#

I don't know how I didn't see that when I grabbed my great vault

proven glen
#

if i have a 213 ilvl boots do i craft my thunderlord for hands?

honest plinth
#

we have 14 slots of gear. and TL boots. an i got boots from cn heroic chest.....what a fucking joke

dense pivot
#

okay level 8 torghast is pretty hard

sand kestrel
#

lol 10 spires clears and no thunderlord drop...I am starting to loath this dungeon

ocean kayak
#

so been leveling PLD, it seems to do everything warrior can but more, tank wise. Is this accurate into harder content?

chilly brook
#

Tf is pld

#

Are you talking about paladin?

ocean kayak
#

yh

chilly brook
#

No it's not accurate

#

They have less armor and mitigation than we do

#

They're capable of doing the same content just like every tank

#

But it's not going to be like a warrior or better in the mitigation department

turbid cargo
#

objectively worse because they're less angry

neon vigil
#

guys a question please, does the enchant on the ascendent vigor weapon when it procca that gives you 12% more healing received, does it also work on the shield that ignore pain provides?

ocean kayak
#

ahh ok cos i see they have holy power but they may as well have infinite of it, while rage is certainly something you need to think about at times (i am new to warrior)

chilly brook
#

For example

ocean kayak
#

so we are more stable, less flashy and less memey then

chilly brook
#

I mean simply just play what you want to play

#

But be aware one of the world first teams has been running a prot warrior

#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

turbid cargo
ocean kayak
#

2bh warrior is fun and feels fun but was leveling a pally for random stuff and it seemed a little nutso, wasnt sure

#

thanks for the info ^^

chilly brook
#

Really paladin has a lot of damage, fun feedback loop and good utility

modern brook
#

too bad its a virgin spec for nerd losers

#

🤷‍♂️

grizzled skiff
#

Have any of you managed to do layer 8 upper reaches without contemplating suicide? If so, how ?

dense pivot
#

nope

#

but I didn't try solo prot yet, duo prot + uh dk was pretty fucking hard

chilly brook
novel willow
#

TIL you can spell reflect the shadow claws in sanguine depths

#

really fucking wish I'd realized that last week

grizzled skiff
#

I'm 200 ilvl and shit was damn near impossible.

chilly brook
#

People said that about layer 4

grizzled skiff
#

Stomped all the other layers.

chilly brook
#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#

Yes I'm being cocky

grizzled skiff
#

Dude I'm not some scrub. Wait till u get there.

#

I laughed at all of those Andy's.

dense pivot
#

LOL same

chilly brook
#

Gonna be a lot of waiting cuz I still have 2ish hours of work

grizzled skiff
#

But this is damn insane.

chilly brook
grizzled skiff
#

Ur gonna cry man, I tell you.

ionic fern
#

Ooh

#

You make me wanna try.

dense pivot
#

do it

chilly brook
#

I doubt I'll cry

dense pivot
#

it's gonna be fun

ionic fern
#

Oh, ok

#

I won't then.

#

Cause i don't care about it.

#

😂

chilly brook
#

But I will smash

grizzled skiff
#

Layer 1 floor guardian slaps with 6k 1sec perma casts.

#

And pacifies u for 4 sec rndmly

chilly brook
#

I bet

grizzled skiff
#

While u have fuck all dmg cause floor 1.

chilly brook
#

That theres a wall you can cheese the casts on

granite cloud
#

AHHHHHHHHHH

#

FIRST ATTEMPT

chilly brook
#

Nice

grizzled skiff
#

There is one but it'll do you no good

chilly brook
#

Its 100% drop guarentee in raid

#

Why would it do you no good?

grizzled skiff
#

The dudes are fast and the casts clip los

modern brook
chilly brook
#

Also we already had someone in here that said they solo'd layer 8

grizzled skiff
#

Like 50% of the time.

chilly brook
#

Without much of an issue

grizzled skiff
#

I did too

#

Just not upper reaches

chilly brook
modern brook
#

thats me!

grizzled skiff
#

Like I said

#

I did 8 of the other wing

#

It's reaches that's fucked.

dense pivot
#

execute power is very poggers

chilly brook
#

Execute power is very very pog indeed

fallow mortar
#

upperreaches, floor two boss punched me hard and I didn't have the sustain to out last his damage

grizzled skiff
#

U need close to BiS rng very early in that place to beat it I guess.

#

I don't feel like fishing for powers hours on end.

#

Meanwhile as arms every mob 3 shots u lol

formal river
#

@granite cloud big grats man

granite cloud
#

now i just need to grind some ash

modern brook
dense pivot
#

yes yes time to do layer 8

#

🙂

west kayak
#

Upper Reaches 8 took me a couple "Rerolls" to get the anima I needed to make it to Floor 3. Once I got their I cleared it. You just need the anima to survive if you get the caster floor boss that spams Sin Bolt.

formal river
#

I lost to the sin bolt boss my first try

#

Said fuck it and did a 5 man

#

First time grouping in there

dense pivot
#

yeah that guys is crazy

formal river
#

Only so many interrupts

dense pivot
#

maybe somekind of corner hugging helps but it's rough

formal river
#

Hard when the cast is si fast

#

Would take ages.

dense pivot
#

yeah and you lose a lot of uptime

#

yeah yeah

formal river
#

I 5 manned and immediately got 500% demo shout and 2x 30% amp damage on shouts.

#

My group shredded

granite cloud
#

@modern brook and I'm all out of ash

dense pivot
#

good to know full stack is doing okay there

formal river
#

I did get super lucky with powers but it seemed easy

wintry jetty
#

I think that's part of prot's edge

#

more powers are useful

chilly brook
#

Everything you do is instant so it wouldn't actually make it take that much longer

#

Positioning is important when corner cheesing

formal river
#

Capture yourself doing that. I want to see you not go insane

#

The mob health is stupid.

chilly brook
#

Ok

#

I'll try

fringe marten
#

What is everyones favorite Unit frame addon? Loving plater..but I need something to change the actual target and focus target frames. (or can plater do that as well?)

sweet summit
#

plater

#

and yes it can

fringe marten
#

and regarding plater; I can't seem to get some nameplate text colors to stay the way I want them; it keeps copying the 'personal' stat bar colors for text and such. I see the drop down menu for 'copy settings from' and every time I change it, it keeps going back, weather I hit yes or no ? lol odd.

#

Erga where is that option?

errant oriole
#

hey guys how are prot wars doing?

dense pivot
#

okay?

fringe marten
#

Umm..isn't Limit using a prot warrior for their world first race? or is it on specific fights?

leaden steeple
#

just stack haste and you're good to go

chilly brook
#

Looks like they're doing another split run rn tho

fringe marten
#

Hm..where in Plater are the options to change actual unit frames appearance? (trying to get rid of the stupid gold dragon graphic and make my off tank (focus target) buffs show clearly.

#

I tanked mythic shriekwing last night..it was literally easier than heroic because the difficulty vs my gear wasn't as large of a gap as heroic was LOL.

chilly brook
#

Bruh

#

Lmaooooooo

trim imp
#

hows everyone dooing in mythic+?

#

ive been having difficulty lately and just dont understand why

#

just wondering if i suck or if its been a challenge for anyone else

dense pivot
#

I assume if you push high enough with low enough gear you will start having problems face tanking (as any other tank)

trim imp
#

im 189ilvl and struggle even in 5s and 6s

nimble drift
#

6s have become the new mythic 2s for me. I can confidently pug them and they're easy

lavish oracle
#

All tanks are getting hit harder this xpac, hard to say where the issue lies without seeing what you're doing. The biggest tip I'd offer is to learn how to kite this xpac 😄

trim imp
#

yea, i think i must need to do a whole lot more kiting, because thats what i keep hearing

finite coral
#

holy shit torghast is hard all of a sudden

ebon tide
#

@lavish oracle You think there is a chance that "kite" may change? I've tanked before but never M+, and honestly, while I don't mind it TOOO much, it is a little disappointing. 75% of the appeal of a tank class to me is being able to manage cooldowns, mitigation, and hold threat. Running from mobs is what dps does (assuming it's not being tanked properly). Just feels .... bad man?

lavish oracle
#

Yeah, potentially, it's possible kiting is only really big right now because we're short on gear and that we'll scale really well

nimble drift
#

Tbh you can tank a bit. Most mobs you can tank fine. rotating SB, last stand, shield wall

#

But if kicks aren't going off and you're out of defensives, kite a bit

#

It's not ALWAYS kiting

lavish oracle
#

Yeah, I don't have to kite every pack or anything but just be more conscious of having to kite

#

You could face tank just about anything last xpac, and that won't really fly anymore

nimble drift
#

Anyone have any preferred healers? The only class that has kept me up the entire dungeon, CONSISTANTLY, are paladins. Everything else is fine, but paladins are fucking awesome

lavish oracle
#

All my friends are hpal or druid so that's basically what I have the most experience with

blissful imp
#

Druids and Shaman are my favorite

#

but they all seem fine

lavish oracle
#

Both are great, if you run with a lot of hpal though, make sure you have a cancel aura macro on your bar 😄

blissful imp
#

early on Disc Priests were scary as shit, but I think all the FOTM rerollers and shadow mains abandoned it when they realized it's not an easy spec to play

sage cairn
#

Disc is stupid fun though

#

I am currently playing a prot war disc priest and prot pally

empty nexus
#

wut weapon ench for tanking m+

sage cairn
#

Warrior out gears pally by 20 ilvls and I feel like I wont die in mythics unless kicks arent going out. If magic is out there I get wrecked if people are not interrupting. Since we only have 3 really int shout pummel and shockwave

#

However on prot pally you have stupid amounts of interrupts since your shield toss interrupts your Syrian ability tosses out 5 shields so interrupts everyone and you have a stun as well as an interrupt on top of that

#

You can also full heal 1 player at any time as well as wog full heal your self plus buble someone as in addition. To bubbling yourself

#

Yes my pally takes more physical damage however they can also block magic damage with their base block value. I love my war and have mained since I started playing in work

#

But I just dont see how they can keep up right now.

modern brook
#

When in doubt go stats

sage cairn
# chilly brook

Yeah you might be able to mitigate a little more however wars cannot continuously heal themselves and their party. Is that being taken into effect

empty nexus
#

is it me or thunderlord seems kinda lame (havent tried it yet so idk how good it is)

blissful imp
#

It's good, it's not like the azerite power

#

it always reduces the cooldown

empty nexus
#

does it reduce every thunderclap or only 4.5s out of the 45s cd or w/e the shout cd was i forgot

lavish oracle
#

@sage cairn Warrior just takes way less physical damage

#

And since the damage profile of keys is like 75%phys that's a big advantage

sage cairn
#

Just the shout cd. However it makes you build where shout gives 40 rage so you have more uptime on all defensive

lavish oracle
#

Also, my hps on warrior isn't really that far behind my pally

hexed helm
#

what dungeons are easiest for us prot warriors?

novel willow
#

is haste good enough that I should take a lot of haste and a little crit <over> a little haste and a lot of mastery?

lavish oracle
#

Thought my pally is like 10 ilvl lower atm

novel willow
lavish oracle
#

Honestly I'd just take bigger haste

sage cairn
#

Yeah hps isn't much behind my pally however I can save a wipe by keeping my healer alive or dps alive on pally and cannot do it on war. I kill d of hate the spot I'm in right now since I like my war now. But have been turned away from keys that I get accepted to on my 20 ilvl lower pally

#

Mastery is way better than crit though isnt it

lavish oracle
#

Nah, They're pretty close

#

And haste is way better than either

chilly brook
#

It removes your own healing.

pastel sleet
#

is unnerving focus a trap?

hexed helm
#

what M+ dungeons are easiest to tank on war?

lavish oracle
#

Nah, I like unnerving focus

#

Makes it so I don't have to kite during last stand

pastel sleet
#

i like it too... but warcraft logs says no one is running it

lavish oracle
#

For raid or M+?

pastel sleet
#

m+

chilly brook
#

Lightee said something about never not using unnerving focus

#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#

Feel like I'm referencing him a lot recently

lavish oracle
#

Yeah, just seems good to me

ionic fern
#

It is good for m+. O o

pastel sleet
#

okay thats what i thought too. just making sure

ionic fern
#

A lot of people run it

lavish oracle
#

Way better than brutal vitality in terms of like, amount of extra IP acquired

sage cairn
#

Some fights on my 160 pally I heal for over 2k hps

chilly brook
#

SotR gives far more armor and mitigation than you heal with WoG....

lavish oracle
#

SotR makes my Pally's armor like equal to my warrior's makes me sad, haha

ionic fern
#

We are warriors. We don't heal. We mitigate it upfront.

lavish oracle
#

I'm being a little facetious

chilly brook
#

Don't use SotR on sludgefist and only WoG it and see how that goes for you

lavish oracle
#

But still, SotR is a bad mitigation button

#

Buff pls

pastel sleet
#

just hit 202 woot]

chilly brook
#

I'm also aware of how prot pally works

#

I was maining it until everyone flipped out about having two

#

WoG is nice

#

But no you're not some godly healer

lavish oracle
#

Seems cool when you're off tanking though

chilly brook
#

SotR/Consecrate/CDs are far more important

lavish oracle
#

Nice to just pop off some heals in raid

chilly brook
#

Of course

#

But you're not taking damage at that point and it doesn't matter

sage cairn
#

Or in a mythic plus is all I'm saying. It is difficult for me because I like my war more. But get accepted to more on pally

chilly brook
#

When you're taking damage SotR>WoG

lavish oracle
#

I just run with peeps I know

sage cairn
#

Dong know that many peeps lol

ionic fern
#

@sage cairn close to no issues getting accepted as warrior.

chilly brook
#

Do your own keys

#

Make friends

ionic fern
#

Maybe it's the score? 🤷‍♂️

sage cairn
#

185 ilvl cant get into 3s

chilly brook
#

I mean if you've done a 0 you have a 3 key

sage cairn
#

163 pally gets Into 3s lol

chilly brook
ionic fern
#

People want that r.io.

steel mauve
#

never had a problem getting into 4/5s at 170

ionic fern
#

I got declined from a +0 on my Paladin..does that mean paladins are bad?

steel mauve
#

and my io sucks currently

ionic fern
chilly brook
#

I also haven't had issues getting into like 8s when I was 180

sage cairn
#

Dang ok well I'll see how it goes more today then when I get home.

steel mauve
#

have every single one tell you that you were declined because of being a warrior solely?

ionic fern
#

Play which ever class you like more. Tanks are always in demand and looking for a group won't take too long.

chilly brook
#

@ionic fern I need dad advice

#

Do I craft the wall or TGV

ionic fern
#

You don't have either?

sage cairn
#

I'll say this though healing. Dk sucks

chilly brook
#

Nope

hexed helm
#

im a 196 prot and get into any group that i apply to

chilly brook
#

I finally got the go ahead to main warrior

ionic fern
#

😂

chilly brook
#

So no more DK for me

ionic fern
#

The Wall is more versatile and can flex between raid/m+ better.

chilly brook
#

So probably the wall for a more raid focus?

ionic fern
#

Jeah,do that first

chilly brook
#

Aight

ionic fern
#

It won't hinder you in m+ either

#

It's solid.👍

chilly brook
#

I also wasn't trying to make 190s hence why I dont have any

ionic fern
#

My only issue with The Wall is that everyone is going "oh,so low SW cd!!!" And then they never use SW.

chilly brook
#

I need to git gud

ionic fern
#

Same

chilly brook
#

My single target is ass

ionic fern
#

Good week to practice on dummies cause m+ is horrible. 😂

chilly brook
#

I probably should though tbh

#

I did in 8.0 and it paid off pretty well

ionic fern
#

Just did a +10 halls and depleted by a lot. People getting smacked by tornadoes left and right. Diddn't help that one of the rogues was doing less overall dps than me

chilly brook
#

The tornadoes are ass

#

So bad in SD

#

As if asking people to dodge red balls on the second boss wasn't hard enough

open monolith
#

So I got splintered heart of a'lar 😦 however it literally saved a key from failing immediately after, so 😄

chilly brook
#

They gotta throw tornadoes in small ass hallways

grand drum
#

Delete storming pls

trim imp
#

Bro bolstering sucks

hollow ice
sonic tangle
#

So would it be worth upgrading the Thunderlord boots to rank 3 or craft The Wall? Debating on what to do this week with my ash

lavish oracle
#

I mean, I'm basically using SW on cd

#

Like, might as well refund an SB charge when I can

#

@sonic tangle Leggo power is frontloaded, you're probably better off crafting the Wall unless you're like Thunderlord's ride or die

sonic tangle
#

Thats what I'm thinking too, I feel like the wall will be better overall aside from like aoe fights and shit

blissful imp
#

with some tweaks I think Storming could be a good affix

#

as it is right now, with how many spawn, how long they last and their unpredictability sometimes

#

just frustrates the hell out of me

#

my range friends were like "it's just like volcanic but for melee"

#

the fuck it is, you just side step 2 feet for volcanic

#

those damn tornados hunt your ass down for a minut

steel mauve
#

if i had the wall i would have made it but went with tlords

#

been able to pug 1 boss so far in raid, but havent tried too hard

sonic tangle
#

I made tlords cuz its what I had and it was better than the 171s I was wearing

#

Probbies just gonna make the wall

#

Im commiting

cloud cargo
#

Hello, quick q.. ascended vigor or lifhtles force on one hand? 🙂

chilly brook
#

Lightless force afaik but should be answered 100% in the guide on IV

cloud cargo
#

i saw guides, i wanna see some experiences

#

😄

#

ty

night tusk
#

Is there a haste soft cap for us Prot warriors? if so what percent is it?

ember inlet
#

106

#

The more - the better

#

Around 30% prot doesn't feel so clunky anymore, you start getting beautiful combos and rage gen

#

And devastator will prock more and more

#

Which will lead to more rage and more self healing

#

But most importantly block cd is affected by haste as well

steel mauve
#

there isnt really a soft or hard cap

ember inlet
#

Maybe we need another termin for that

What covenant (kyrian/night fae) is better for mythic and raids rn?

sick sentinel

can I just stop questing after doing all zones

sick sentinel

so that i can play the game

Got a question about trinkets slime consumptive organ and blood spattered scale or scale + badge

#

losing 3% haste without badge and im siting at 17% but that slime is pretty nice

prisma crow

which slot am i supposed to get as my legendary? does it matter?

undone jacinth

usually whatever gives u the most stats

#

Boots/hands for thunderlord

#

Shoulders for the wall

prisma crow
#

i went with boots

#

thanks

undone jacinth
#

hands give more stats I think

empty nexus
#

damn idk 20% haste looks nice but almost 10k heal whenever i got 9 stacks is more worth i think

steel mauve
#

boots and hands are the same

undone jacinth
#

I checked same ilvl and hands had more stats

steel mauve
#

its recommended to make tlords as boots

undone jacinth
#

ok..

jagged mortar
#

why?

#

first boss drops boots in raid

#

easy to get higher ilvl

low kindle
#

wonder when blizz will fix the interaction between signet and prot ravager O.o

steel mauve
#

hands are less itemized from raid if you want to min max

#

thats b ackwards

undone jacinth
#

aren’t the boots haste mastery or something

#

from raid

steel mauve
#

boots are less itemized from raid im in a m+ lol

im doing mythic and i dont raid

undone jacinth

check the shrieking boots

if you dont raid then it wont matter what tlords you make

Anyone got a good guide on what can/can't be spell reflected in mythic+?

It's the first pin

ionic pewter

reflecting reaping scythe on Mordretha feels damn good

sick sentinel
#

is it even posisble to tank kin-tara on a "high" key this week

#

her slash does 41k damage on an +11

dark lark
#

you can side step the slash

sick sentinel
#

how

dark lark
#

watch her energy

#

when it gets to 100, she's about to cast

#

then side step

sick sentinel
#

is there a video

tardy parcel
#

the timing is just crummy if you have any lag but yeah it's doable

#

It's just a cone

sick sentinel
#

why does DBM tell you to soak it

tardy parcel
#

Dude I've wondered that since day 1

astral crystal
#

you guys try the wall in keys yet?

sick sentinel
dark lark
#

dbm is wrong

astral crystal
#

you can dodge the overhead slash @sick sentinel

tardy parcel
#

I think Nomeratur has been running Wall in keys @astral crystal

sick sentinel
#

oh

#

do you side step at 100 energy

#

or almost 100 energy

dark lark
#

at

sick sentinel
#

ok

astral crystal
#

yeah it's a cast iirc? so you have a little time to react

tardy parcel
#

yeah if you just do it at almost 100, she'll just follow you lol

dark lark
#

you anticipate at 100

#

and watch the cast

#

it's fast but if you anticipate it you can do it

tardy parcel
#

It's an incredibly quick cast, you have to be ready to move before you see it

#

^

sick sentinel
#

the dmg is jsut too fucking high

dark lark
#

you should never ever get hit by it, that shit trucks

uncut finch
#

On that naowh video, do you guys know what he uses to have the boss abilities coming in those type of bars? Right above the boss ui

dark lark
#

it's a highly customized elvui

sick sentinel
#

what also sucks is she immediately auto attacks after it

#

so if that didnt kill u the auto attack will lmao

ocean heath
#

anyone beat layer 8 yet?

west kayak
uncut finch
#

Do you guys have your offense trinkets macrod with something else? Or do you manually press them?

ocean heath
#

I could only beat layer 7 with the 50% chance to SW on IP and then cheesing infinite spawns for always execute

west kayak
#

Thats some lucky RNG with those. I had to restart it until I got decent Anima's and once I made it to Floor 3 I was golden.

#

Getting past the first two can be trickey, especially if you get a caster that chain casts Sin Bolt.

ocean heath
#

tried layer 8 and level 2 boss beat me down

tardy parcel
slate shell
#

i had the probably the best combo in layer8, had the 30 executes anima at floor2, then at the vendor before the last boss i got the infinite rage for 1.5min

#

so i just executed the shit out of last boss

ocean heath
#

exactly what i had lol

#

I had 5 phantasma on victory rush so I cheesed infinite skeletons for 1000 phantasma lol

uncut finch
#

=)

west kayak
#

The last boss was easier than the Floor bosses. I got lucky with 80% rage generation and a few other basic ones.

ocean heath
#

You guys ever do them in groups?

steel mauve
#

its inefficient to macro most trinkets to abilities just to be lazy

uncut finch
#

Well yea.. I guess I wouldn't want to use it when there is like one mob

#

But I feel like I forget about them if I don't do that

novel willow
#

I have an addon that will tell me what boss an item I'm looking at will drop from. which sucks because I dont care about what boss it'll drop off of, I care which dungeon I need to do. is there an addon that will show me the dungeon source in the tooltip for an item?

empty nexus
#

with thunder lord UF and bolster or still ravager

west prairie
#

is kleia any good for prot

astral orbit
#

Which soulbind is better, Pelegos or keila?

civic rover
#

pelagos

#

kleia was looking good til it got nerfed

dusty bridge
#

Let me know @empty nexus was also gonna ask that. UF/AM or Bolster/ravenger

steel mauve
#

bolster/ravager still

rain saffron
#

anyone manage to clear thorgast lvl7 and8 with prot?

#

after the patch its a shitshow compared to last week...floor 1 or 2 and its over

shut summit
#

yes

rain saffron
#

ok then im just bad

shut summit
#

its definitely harder, just hafta be good with interrupts / get some decent powers

flat nymph
#

Yeah done 8 aswell just always take damage powers basically and make sure you're using stuns and interupts on casters or they eat you

undone jacinth
#

you can LoS a lot for breathers or to group stuff

split eagle
#

Hi all I have been tanking m+ and for some reason I am taking loads of damage despite keeping up sb and ip up whenever necessary. Am I doing something wrong? Or just inadequate interrupts. I'm 196 but struggling hard on +7s and 8s

undone jacinth
#

makes a big difference

split eagle
#

Nope

#

Always repositioned them

civic rover
#

is the group interrupting/ccing properly? is the healer able to keep up?

split eagle
#

Seems like I need to kite more then I should

undone jacinth
#

what key

civic rover
#

these dungeons are pretty tank unfriendly overall and if the group isn't playing well that can be a big factor in feeling squishy, but kiting is also a bigger part of tanking now than ever.

split eagle
#

Dungeons like sanguine and theatre

undone jacinth
#

on a 6 tyrannical with that gear u shouldn’t be near needing to kite, the likeilhood is you just don’t know about some major important casts certain mobs have

split eagle
#

I wiped so hard on 2nd boss in sanguine because healer had to focus heal me and put hots only on team

#

6 I have no issues

#

7 the difficulty jumps

civic rover
#

there could be a lot of reasons and without video of you playing it's kinda hard to pin it down on one or two things

undone jacinth
#

6789 should all apply to really

split eagle
#

Had to down sanguine depths 7 to 6

split eagle
undone jacinth
#

there’s specific casts like the hound masters enraging the bears or whatever that will punish you, you just need to learn what the really important stuff is

#

and use ur kit to stop it

#

at that level it’ll only be the really big things you need to focus on first

split eagle
#

Yea I know about the hounds and stuff I feel the problem seems to be taking too much magic damage

#

Ip can only block this much

undone jacinth
#

there’s not much magic dmg in there

civic rover
#

every tank is struggling with magic damage rn

undone jacinth
#

u have reflect, kick, storm bolt and shockwave

#

and fear

#

and demo shout and wall and ip

split eagle
#

I've been popping cooldowns so I'm really struggling to understand what I'm doing wrong

undone jacinth
#

like the guy said it’s super hard without a video

undone jacinth
#

there’s an awesome site called mythic trap that shows u dungeon guides and I’d suggest just focusing on the most dangerous mobs in that

#

once u learn the big stuff u can progress up

split eagle
#

Arh ok I take a look at that

civic rover
#

and for all we know, you might not even be doing anything super wrong, it could very well be groups not using their CC's and interrupts properly, which is why a lot of people recommend trying to find a consistent group to do keys with.

ornate agate
#

hi guys, what is the best legendary for protection at the moment in M+?

undone jacinth
#

warrior has a kit where you should be able to cover most yourself in those keys tho

civic rover
#

but that's a whole other topic. mythic trap is solid and i love the website.

#

generally yeah, but every key is different, every situation is different, some stuff might be on CD or something

sick sentinel
#

i got the wall from LFR just now

civic rover
ornate agate
#

so tahts the shield slam reduces cd of shield wall by 5 secs

sick sentinel
#

i have both, but i can't make either

ornate agate
#

and the thunderclap that reduces demo shout by 5 secs?

civic rover
#

yeah

ornate agate
#

cd of demo shout by 5 secs*

civic rover
#

up to 4.5 seconds depending on how many it hits

ornate agate
#

yeah so its so tough to decide lol

civic rover
#

both are good legendaries, i'm currently using thunderlord because im too lazy to craft a second legendary

undone jacinth
#

imo it feels like you go wall once you reach a point that ur just getting rammed

ornate agate
#

shield wall is 40% vs 20% from demo shout

civic rover
#

yeah, once you get into harder content the wall will properly take over

undone jacinth
#

wall is 50

sick sentinel
#

SW used to be 40%

ornate agate
#

i mean, what are you guys considering as harder content?

#

10+

#

?

#

or 15+

#

(in the m plus world)

undone jacinth
#

this week? Like 11 right now lmao

civic rover
#

anything higher than a 10 rn probably ye

undone jacinth
#

these bosses are major brutal

ornate agate
#

how long do you think the cd on shield wall is with the leggo?

#

effectively

undone jacinth
#

with AM and the conduit it’s around 1min on a good day by my calcs

#

and devastator

ornate agate
#

yeah thats pretty good

undone jacinth
#

but that means u don’t have bolster or the dmg buff from demo

ornate agate
#

i mean for warriors atm, survival is pretty key

#

i find myself being blown up all the time, struggling to generate rage to spam IP

#

seems like rage generation from autos, thunder and slam aint enough

civic rover
#

rage generation is fine you just have to be mindful of how you spend it

ornate agate
#

yeah maybe my discipline isnt great

undone jacinth
#

kyrian and ravager make rage a lot better

civic rover
#

it's a big adjustment from BFA season 4 where you literally had to mash IP to not cap out on rage

digital nova
#

i literally moved my revenge keybind over and placed IP more prominently

ornate agate
#

exactly, revenge destroys rage, kinda sad lol

undone jacinth
#

just get procs xd

digital nova
#

just because bad muscle memory from questing and torghast is killing me

undone jacinth
#

the worst is when u get the power that buffs ur next revenge for every crate u kill and u have to tell urself not to presss it the entire run

#

I have to take it off my bars

digital nova
#

i still need it for threat gen

#

ret pallies love getting one shot

undone jacinth
#

tell them to bop!

ornate agate
#

major tradeoff lol, use revenge and aoe, or try to use thunderclap and hit all targets to get aggro

#

when dps literally no fucks given, will go all out immediately lol

#

would you say a buff is coming for prot warriors?

digital nova
#

doubtful

civic rover
#

no

#

tank balance is super close

digital nova
#

if blizz thought they were underperforming, buffs would've happened already

civic rover
#

and the reality is, they aren't underperforming.

undone jacinth
#

the only thing they lack is single target dps imo

digital nova
#

i saw videos of warriors clearing +15 last week, so it's definitely the player/group at fault for prot dying

undone jacinth
#

and they still have execute

civic rover
#

people are still clearing pretty high level content with them. players just need more time to adjust to the playstyle. People are lost in BFA playstyle still.

ornate agate
#

thats good to hear

#

ill defs have to adjust

#

the leggo will help for sure

digital nova
#

shit I'm struggling to time an 8 so I have a lot of improvement to do myself

undone jacinth
#

I mean the world first mythic clear is literally gonna be done by a Prot warrior

civic rover
#

ye

#

arent both tanks prot?

undone jacinth
#

naw

#

#

and Prot

#

for the buffs

civic rover
#

VDH is probably seeing popularity because chaos brand

digital nova
#

Rank 3 TL or pick up the wall this week?

ornate agate
#

rallying cry is hugeeee

undone jacinth
#

ye they both literally for the buffs

#

although DH just happens to also be the best tank lol

ornate agate
#

finally they get to shine though lol

I think he’s kyrian

think that thing is busted too

i switched my warr from necro to kyrian solely because of the potion

undone jacinth
#

I did the same but venthyr to kyrian for the potion lol

civic rover
#

my bear is venthyr

undone jacinth
#

but then I used spear and was like ok this ducking owns

#

my bear is fae, convoke is way too cool

civic rover
#

incarn+venthyr ability=literally pull half a dungeon and not die

undone jacinth
#

yeah it’s insane dmg

outer dirge
#

The biggest issue I'm finding with war prot is sometimes we just drop

dusty bridge
#

Anyone try out the faes? They seem decent for tanking too

undone jacinth
#

the trick is to know when that sometimes is 😄

civic rover
#

nightfae for prot is solid

#

yeah this expansion is really gonna be a test for tanks, another month in and it'll be really easy to spot an average tank from a great tank.

undone jacinth
#

the knockdown seems amazing in m+ tbh

civic rover
#

sometimes the best thing to do when tanking, is just run the fuck away

outer dirge

Not wrong

What are keys like this week? Slow?

civic rover
#

plaguefall might be rough but its cool

undone jacinth
#

the keys are like...

#

well u just die basically

outer dirge
#

Haha

undone jacinth
#

well, u don’t really die as much as ur entire group dies to every boss

#

healers must be crying

dusty bridge
#

Yeah it’s rough. 5s feel like 8s, 8s feel like 11s. Well that’s my experience at least

there’s just so many killer mechanics with them

civic rover
#

siege of boralus tyrannical

better have five or more minutes left for the last boss 😎

undone jacinth

then u miss the last cannon shot and miss time by 1 second

sadly

#

took my friend off cannon duty forever

civic rover
#

the group i run M+ with almost never played again after our first night

#

BFA season 4... tyrannical freehold, harlan takes literally three fucking minutes to die, we missed the timer by like 4 seconds

#

then corruption vendor came

undone jacinth
#

I kinda gave up during BFA

#

corruption seemed way too dumb to me

civic rover
#

it was stupid but it was funny

undone jacinth

the on,y thing I remember enjoying was using the echo essence, taking a dps players blood of the enemy, using meta, then hoping that twilight dev procced and crit

#

would literally delete a pack if it procced

west prairie
#

so with thunderlord, bolster and ravager are better than uf and am ?

steel mauve
#

yes

Ravager still feels very bad, dunno why

steel mauve

does a lot of damage and really strong rage gen on a short cd

viral portal
#

Hello guys, do you think its worth to level up blacksmith recipe to rank 2,3 and 4 or just buy pieces from ah?

steel mauve
#

depends on how much the higher tiers are going for honestly

#

you basically need to make 15 items just to level up to the next tier, so depends on how self sufficient you are/ah prices

@steel mauve sure, the burst together with Ancient Aftershock is great, still feels bad though imho

just got this but can't seem to find info about it, yall think its good vs alternatives from m+ ?

steel mauve

pawn is a completely worthless addon to have installed, and stat weights are a nearly useless metric

grand drum
#

Dont use pawn. Generally you just go ilvl

fair blaze
#

what about pawn with simmed strings?

undone sun
#

you'll be simming after every piece anyways

#

so it's an unnecessary middleman

#

a wise man once said

If absolutely necessary to use pawn, which it's not, all pawn strings are personal so they wouldn't have the same value to others as they would for you so simming your own stat weight through raidbots would yield best results for you, that also means you need to resim for every new piece of gear obtained and add the new weights, meaning pawn is an incredibly unnecessary middleman. Delete pawn.

So Ilvl rules all? What about in the a scenario where you have a mastery/crit piece vs haste ?

Not that great (except in pvp, where it is godlike)

Yo so what did u guys do for writhing soulmass?? It's kicking my ass at level 7

fringe marten
#

The..? OH the new torghast stuff... yeah that's the place you go when you don't, wake up..go to work, come home..and raid in an hour. I had to do my last few layers of torghast, then the jaina quest, the floor 6 of the 'other' wing.. at like 1 am on monday night.

#

Do NOT leave torghast until the end of the week..you will hate life.

#

Also just did an 11 spires using 2 on use trinks, the blood spattered scale and overwhelming power crystal... I'm honestly not hatin' 2 on use. Was kinda' cool.

cool story

anyway beat ti

fringe marten
#

Don't hate.. what's going on with torghast 7?

#

Is it challenging even as prot? I know they nerfed the hp/damage of mobs when solo queued as healer, did they adjust it for solo tanks?

brazen grotto
#

mobs inside are easy

#

it's the bosses at the very end that seem over tuned

fringe marten
#

Overtuned like...early BFA mythic island mechanics overtuned?

#

or just "I needed to take all single target damage and healing anima powers' overtuned?

versed bough
#

What stats should I go for as tank in m+? I feel squishy >.<

undone sun
#

stats wont change that

brazen grotto
#

probably need dps anima talents

fringe marten
#

Hetriyd, as always...it's ilevel is king; and if you feel squishy you've somehow found yourself in a key you couldn't build yourself; or aren't playing the class or the key/dungeon right.

#

Also understand that the meta for tanks right now pushing really difficult keys is the same as it was legion, early bfa...Kiting. No one can fully face tank packs that are nasty vs their experience/gear.

Also The Wall with AM is so pog

It isn't BFA where we could clap the world into submission while maintaining 100% block uptime. (or close to it)

Enjoy.

Its just so satisfying

The extra rage is great and the CDR is nuts

Yeah I have no regrets about going all in on the wall

we were doing reclear and I was staying AM even through heroic again...I now prefer that for sure. But in keys I'm still running bolster.

Feels really great in m+ tbh

Were you doing keys with AM as well matt?

versed bough
#

What lego should I get? I kinda feel THE WALL

chilly brook
#

Probably not ideal

#

But it's also not anything past a 10 rn

#

Honestly shield wall being up so often has benefits though

#

Really nice on caster packs for example like de other side

fringe marten
#

You're gonna' do more dps, more avatar time..and more ability to solidify nasty pulls with shield wall, just not the ability to stand and face tank as long.

Meanwhile i'm just happy having DS up on every pack 2x times.

Had some nutty pulls, one of which the party would have lived if I didn't DC

Did you craft both mwahi, or dive in on Tlord boots?

ionic fern
#

I've only crafted Tlord right now.

chilly brook
#

But I think I'll stick with the wall until its maxed and then work on TGV

#

I already have the gloves

fringe marten
#

That's what I have to do matt, because our main focus is raiding...so I am expected to be boosting my main raid legendary every week it's possible to do so.

chilly brook
#

My main focus is raid so the wall was the move

fringe marten
#

But I want my thunderlords asap.

chilly brook
#

I loved tgv in Legion

#

TGV+Khakushans

fringe marten
#

I'm pretty darn sure we're going to be able to wear more than 1 lego deeper into the expac anyway

chilly brook
#

Big shield slams were pog

#

I could definitely see how some people had issues with layer 8

#

But I'm thankful I didnt have said issues

#

📈

fringe marten
#

Raiding early in the tier and of a new expansion has also made me re-realize how powerful Punish was. with the cookie cutter azerite/corrupted loadout I had forgotten entirely about it.

#

If the bosses are the issue...git you some Scratched Knife~~ poof bosses go away.

chilly brook
#

I'm just hoping I'm a little more solid tomorrow

#

And by a little more solid I mean not going 5 seconds of non direct heals

fringe marten
#

What are you working on atm?

chilly brook
#

Picking up on hungering

fringe marten
#

Hero/mythic?

chilly brook
#

We full cleared normal yesterday

#

Heroic

#

I wish we were going into mythic

#

But people need gear

#

Understandably

#

Plus tuning still seems kinda wack

fringe marten
#

ok hero; he punches really stout on heroic.. but the thing to remember is all you're really doing is making sure to have block up for his autos. and he literally gets 1 or two..between each cast of ...randomcrap..he's doing. His Overwhelm ? or whatever isn't even the issue.

#

It's the 'spread out' phase..while you're tanking, so you take a magic hit, and his slam

chilly brook
#

Yea we had like 2 pulls before we ran outta time

#

Tbh the problem isn't us its everyone else doing mechanics

fringe marten
#

with Wall/AM you can cover MANY of those phases with Shield wall. and only save reflect for that.

versed bough
#

Should I go Anger management over the others?

chilly brook
#

Sure if you wanna do dps

#

Or need the extra reduction of Shield Wall for something

#

Otherwise Bolster is better defensively

fringe marten
#

Depends on the environment Het. In raiding it's very solid once paired with 'the wall' legendary. Because you can have shield wall up for big mechanics overlaps frequently. And you don't need to maintain such a 'long' block window due to taunt swaps/etc. it's M+ where you're wanting 'bolster' more than raiding..but it's great for both.

chilly brook
#

But like in raid you can, assuming you don't have weak healers, get away with running DR and AM

#

And just pump

fringe marten
#

Does Dragon roar gives more dps than BV?

versed bough
#

Im going tank m+ I'll just get bolster

chilly brook
#

Or at least does in my sim

#

Ymmv

fringe marten
#

hm interesting. I was running BV, ittf, and AM all through norm/heroic tonight.

#

maybe I'll try some Droar tomorrow.

chilly brook
#

Running itf again feels nice

#

I need to try it in a key or two

fringe marten
#

Correct me if I'm wrong here too.. I know shadowlands has a fairly steep diminishing returns cap at 30% of any secondary (except mastery..mastery has it's own wonk-ass calculation)

chilly brook
#

Lightee swears by it in keys

next yacht
#

How good is night fae for prot in m+?

fringe marten
#

BUT talents, and buffs...don't obey the DR

#

so as we gear up, and can get near 30% haste on gear, the haste from ITTF will have full value still?

chilly brook
#

Also it's not quite as steep as you think

#

Haste is still extremely valuable and it's a small DR

fringe marten
#

ehhh..it's pretty raunchy, I was looking at the CD of shield block as I would go well passed 30%, and saw it not move too far under 12 seconds (it did ..but not a ton)

#

and in BFA it was well under that

sweet summit
#

Rating DRs, %s dont

#

So ItF/lust do not DR

#

But haste proc trinkets do

chilly brook
#

Nom iirc posted something about the DRs

sweet summit
chilly brook
#

And its not very drastic

fringe marten
#

Ok that's what I thought...I just was concerned ITTF would lose value as we got more haste.

chilly brook
#

Quite the opposite :)

sweet summit
#

Its not worth worrying about

cerulean quest
#

The affixes this week... are they considered to be harder or easier that last week?

sweet summit
#

Esp this early

#

Harder

sweet summit
#

Last week was the best week on the calendar

chilly brook
#

These affixes suck

cerulean quest
#

Really

fringe marten
#

Aye, affixes are mu...ok ya' know what. No. ONE affix is absolute full on cancer.

chilly brook
#

Big donkey balls

fringe marten
#

Tyrannical is ..whatever, you know how it works.

sweet summit
#

Storming can go die

#

Fuck that

#

Bullshit

#

Affix

chilly brook
#

Storming is so stupid

sweet summit
#

Spmo fucking aids

chilly brook
#

So much more disruptive than volcanic

cerulean quest
#

I do dungeons with my irl mates and weirdly this week seems better

chilly brook
#

What key level

fringe marten
#

(yes short answer is, keys are substantially harder..because people will run in thinking they can pull packs like last week, with bolster some of that becomes fatal quickly.)

cerulean quest
#

Pretty low which is probably why

chilly brook
#

Cuz it gets dicey even in an 8 on some of these bosses

cerulean quest
#

The issue was last week, they didn’t have the dps to kill trash packs quickly and they started to hurt

#

I was 3rd or even 2nd in dps as prot

fringe marten
#

Also, some bosses will surprise you. Ventunax? or whatever.. Spires. Yo...casters were crying~

chilly brook
#

Fort sucks for tanks kinda, but tyranical sucks for everyone

cerulean quest
#

Yeah that’s true

#

I think because I’m doing low ass keys

#

It feels a bit better

#

But yeah I did a little mists 6 yesterday and was surprised at the bosses!

#

Just the time it took to kill them haha

chilly brook
#

I was hoping to get 14s done this week but I dont think itll happen with tyrannical

fringe marten
#

Storming ..? I guess was supposed to be the melee counter balance to ..? quaking/volcanic I guess. It's not even remotely similarly 'difficult' ...it's exponentially worse than those.

chilly brook
#

Basically this

#

Volcanic is literally hey just sidestep

#

Quaking was already a melee affix

#

In a way

#

But hey gotta discourage melee comps somehow since they've dominated m+ since introduction

#

The ghost affix is gonna be aids too

fringe marten
#

AND..much like volcanic, the more mobs you have, the more tornados. In some dungeons where we could get ballsy because a couple packs all had similar HP or we had an urn or spear to stun/etc... you pull big, and it turns into legend of zelda storm temple~~

chilly brook
#

Honestly I was kiting so much

#

And it wasn't even because I needed to not get hit

#

It was so my dps had room to stand...

novel temple
#

shit trash in de other side last week on a 10 was just fucking gibbing the shit out of me on pull

chilly brook
#

And it's so bad on the broker boss in De Other Side

#

Because the storming spawn is the same color as the mines

novel temple
#

is it exactly like the tornados from kings rest?

#

cause i couldnt see those little shits at all

chilly brook
fringe marten
#

Rolly the worst packs in there are workable using the urns that are usually nearby... which leads me to; the covenent interaction with the dungeons is cool/fun...it's also necessary in most dungeons, which makes it also stupid.

#

Also the way the covenant abilities are balanced leads to.. "anyone a necrolo....nope? ..didn't think so. ok putting key in"

chilly brook
#

Also why would they put a 4 man caster pack right next to a melee dude with Raptors as if it's not a shitty enough pull

neat dirge
#

Does intercept + Diebyetheblade on the tank

novel temple
#

it was the pack before you go to hakkar

#

those mini mobs

#

not the big one with teh shadowcore

#

just all casted their special ability

cerulean quest
#

So I guess that’s why it’s easier for me
