#

Oh does Splintered synergise with Necrotic? Badly i guess?

#

or do you lose the stacks before

open monolith
#

No you don't lose the stacks

#

It usually just saves me from a healer who can't do mechanics on the final boss of a dungeon and dies early

#

We wouldn't have timed theater of pain 11 without splintered

modern brook
#

smh

#

carrying a crutch to high io

steady spruce
#

having the healer die on last ToP boss is fun

modern brook
#

(grats though)

open monolith
#

Splintered is a crutch just like Last Stand is for VDH huh?

#

Lol

#

Get over yourself

modern brook
#

LOL no your healer

open monolith
#

Well then my hostility melts and I take it back

modern brook
#

my heart stil lbroken

left bane
#

splintered?

open monolith
#

:(

modern brook
#

one might say

open monolith
#

Splintered Heart of Al'ar

steady spruce
#

we all thought it come on

open monolith
#

Kael thas cheat death trinket

modern brook
#

Splintered heart of Bull'fango

left bane
#

oh i know what it is, he said his heart is broken and i suggested "splintered"

steady spruce
#

why isn't there any reaction possible in this discord i want to say i liked a joke without having to say it

modern brook
#

I like to think its because we're a Str Class that cant figure it out

fallow cloud
#

hi, in m+ is haste till what %? Then versa>Mastery?

steady spruce
#

Hey Spoon, great joke! I'd upvote it if i could

modern brook
#

but in reality its probably just a thing to keep memes to aminimum

left bane
#

Thanks, I'm happy to explain any jokes in the future as well!

modern brook
#

also noone would talk and everything would just be pins reactions

steady spruce
#

@fallow cloud don't bother too much with stats just take big ilvl (not for trinket so )

modern brook
#

just go for ilvl then haste and you'll be fine for must stuff

steady spruce
#

Yeah i liked that about Fight Club (Classic war discord)

fallow cloud
#

ok ty ❀️

left bane
#

Just because I've now typed in here and I'm committed: I was planning on making Signet for overleveled content fun, but you guys say it doesn't proc ravager nor proc from ravager? that defeats a lot of what i was going for

modern brook
#

Signet does not

left bane
#

brutal

steady spruce
#

it's still fun to use tho

#

Bladestorm a pack as prot feels nice

modern brook
#

I wish blizzard allowed me to have fun 😦

steady spruce
#

But looking at top 1 M+ warrior the 2 charges heroic leap leg seems like the best one lol

modern brook
#

LEaper always #1 tbh

left bane
#

yeah i'm probably going to make leaper instead now

steady spruce
#

1K6 rio lol

sweet summit
#

sadge

steady spruce
#

Also intersting he uses Punish for first row talents

modern brook
#

for revenge Memes

#

Man best served cold really does just suck doesnt it

sweet summit
#

no its pretty fucking strong for dps

uneven mason
#

eh

#

that

#

its just not

steady spruce
#

it's nice to get as a free talent in torghast lol

uneven mason
#

when u hs time to press revenge?

#

toomany condemns

steady spruce
#

I might try Rumbling earth (Shocwave cd reduced by 15 seconds if 3 targets hit) with the Shocwave cd reduced Conduit

#

15 sec cd Shockwave sounds nice

modern brook
steady spruce
#

it could make more damage

#

oh

#

DR is 18 seconds?

modern brook
#

Diminishing returns reset 15s [after] the end of the last effect

steady spruce
#

ok

modern brook
#

so if u stun for 2s, 15s later, it'd have only been 13s

#

and like yeah just hold it for2s but then why take the extra CDR

steady spruce
#

i mean it's more to interupt spells than actually stun the mobs right?

undone jacinth
#

also why take it anyway

#

shockwave sucks

modern brook
#

Also very true but i figured we're just havin fun

undone jacinth
#

illegal

uneven mason
#

Stormbolt if you

#

want more stuns

undone jacinth
#

stormbolt allows u to avoid using shockwave at all

#

most of the time

steady spruce
#

storm bolt is really nice but just seem to use it when a dps doesn't do his job

undone jacinth
#

which is a good thing

modern brook
#

You gotta realize DPS are unionized

steady spruce
#

Double time feels pretty useless as prot but some people seem to have a use for it

modern brook
#

they're doing their best to not do their job

#

thats my daily "hahaha workers rights" joke

undone jacinth
#

storm bolt is just what to run if u wanna push

#

double time is nice tho

modern brook
#

DT is good when you out scale content at the least

#

I havent really felt a need for it yet personally

#

I think SB is just the best option and havent looked back since like early bfa

undone jacinth
#

yeh if ur pushing there is no option

#

DTs main use for me is probably places like plaguefall where ur slowed a lot

#

and sometimes charging can help

#

also theater first boss

ocean heath
#

you dont use intercept instead?

modern brook
#

interceptis only allies

undone jacinth
#

they do different things

modern brook
#

^

ocean heath
#

I mean to get out of stuff

modern brook
#

rest in peice my sweet baby boy Intervene

#

he died young and loved

#

So that Arms can have spell reflect in pve

ocean heath
#

how does spell reflect make and sense on fury/arms lol

uneven mason
#

Because it gives blizzard an excuse to leave them as dumpster fires for DPS

#

"LOL THEY HAV UTILIDEE"

undone jacinth
#

its actually op though

#

one of the best spells in the game

ocean heath
#

they should give fury/arms some ability to realistically tank for like 10 seconds

modern brook
#

imagine if spell reflect put downa big shield that blocked LOS

ocean heath
#

as utility

modern brook
#

maybe then we could viable

#

T-T

undone jacinth
#

doesnt arms have taunt and die by the sword

open monolith
#

ProtWarrior won't get buffed in the tuning pass

modern brook
#

It has taunt and die

open monolith
#

Quote me.

undone jacinth
#

isnt dbts 100% parry?

modern brook
#

and ...30%? i think dr

#

it has damage reduction o it

undone jacinth
#

dont need dr if ur parrying everything

#

xd

ocean heath
#

if they could off tank for any amount of time, it would be broken though

undone jacinth
#

but they can?

inland silo
#

It is pretty broken when it’s useful

#

Kinda niche

ocean heath
#

they could give us a CC like chaining a mob down, but that's entangling roots i guess

fierce tendon
#

I remember when we had banners in mop

#

that was real pog, aoe taunt banner

ocean heath
#

what happened to disarm

fierce tendon
#

Pvp talent yep

open monolith
#

HNNNNNNGH i got a 220 upgrade to the last piece i had that was 184 (other than my 171 hakkar trinket which will never be removed)

#

feels amazing man

fierce tendon
#

soxketttt tjajakana

#

only piece I have a socket on is a 203 ring with crap secondaries

open monolith
#

p.s. are we still using the 2 strength gems from BFA?

#

and then haste for everything else

sonic tangle
#

They nerfed them so its not worth

open monolith
#

I'm pretty sure they are still worth post nerf

#

+7 strength vs +16 haste

sonic tangle
#

If you got enough sockets to dink around with then have at it

distant crystal
#

welp

#

finally replaced my 450 getti'iku icon

sweet summit
#

why do u always get good weapons

distant crystal
#

well my dh is my alt see

#

and i got a 207 poxstorm last night and gave it to a mainraider DH

#

so karma looked out for me

uneven mason
#

its not a 233

distant crystal
#

226 poxstormer beats 233's p sure

#

207 outsimmed a 226

#

barely

uneven mason
#

I mean your image

sick sentinel
#

not an ideal choice, but highest ilvl, rest of the stuff wasn't very good.

strong forum
#

Trinket

#

Ilvl rule applies only to armor pieces

#

Not to trinkets

#

:(

civic glade
#

What trinkets do you feel are overall a must have in a m+? Also in Castle Nathria

lavish oracle
#

I don't know that there's any 'must haves' in the way that like CoF was a must-have for fury, but blood spattered scale is pretty good

#

So is the Denny trinket

distant crystal
#

chalice and pustule are p nice for dam options

autumn narwhal
#

Have they stealth buffed parry?

lavish oracle
#

How do you mean?

autumn narwhal
#

I have like 7% more than last time i checked

lavish oracle
#

Oh, hm, I'm not at my computer to check

#

Did you get a bunch of crit since you last checked?

strong forum
autumn narwhal
#

yeah but it says i only get 3% parry

strong forum
#

No...

#

The more crit you have, the more parry you get

autumn narwhal
strong forum
#

Oh wow you really only have 8% crit

lavish oracle
#

Parry also scales with STR, no?

strong forum
#

Not that I know of

autumn narwhal
#

i am getting 10% parry from somewhere but i cant explain it

strong forum
#

You have base parry

#

Just because you're a Str tank

#

Plate tanks get parry

#

Leather tanks get dodge

autumn narwhal
#

I swear i only had 6-7% or so parry last week

sick sentinel
#

i had enough SA to upgrade r3 gloves tl so i did

strong forum
#

Big

autumn narwhal
#

this is what im thinking - have the buffed the base parry?

lavish oracle
#

From askmrrobot's list of tank formulas from bfa

#

So unless it's changed, it appears it does scale with strength

autumn narwhal
#

yes it does with 102 stam trinket i get 13.19% parry - with 69 stre trinket i get 13.60% parry

lavish oracle
#

I'm pretty sure I had 15% last week

autumn narwhal
#

maybe they buffed that base number in the forumla?

#

"3"

lavish oracle
#

well, I have 16% parry now

#

so unless I also just dropped a lot of crit, I don't think so

autumn narwhal
#

i definitely didn't have double figures parry last week and i have only gained a few ilvl average which is not a lot of strength to increase it that much

lavish oracle
#

Yeah, I dunno, I remember checking my parry beginning of last week because I wanted to see what my odds were of dropping necrotic by sheer luck πŸ˜„

autumn narwhal
#

yes that is what i did

#

lol

lavish oracle
#

Mine hasn't gone up very much so I'm not sure what's up with yours

autumn narwhal
#

my chars bugged anyway, nothing drops in prot loot spec

lavish oracle
#

blizz felt bad so they handed you some pity parry

#

πŸ˜›

autumn narwhal
#

feels like it

smoky saffron
#

is there an addon for boss swing timers to max the use of shield block?

midnight burrow
#

223 crit vers shield or or a 223 anima emitter

jagged pier
#

what level is your shield atm?

midnight burrow
#

200

jagged pier
#

shield

lavish oracle
#

Yep, Shield for sure

midnight burrow
#

for what its worth, also have the big haste mastery ring

jagged pier
#

shield

midnight burrow
#

but yeah that doesnt mater

#

yeah

#

ez

strong forum
#

Or that anybody uses it

#

Most mobs swing timer is like somewhere around 1.2-1.6 seconds

#

Smth like that

#

Only niche cases are slower or faster

fierce tendon
#

get a lock to curse of weakness the boss and its longer :P

strong forum
#

Yup

fierce tendon
#

too many locks don't know about that

#

which is fair because they brought a lot of old abilities back from the dead

undone jacinth
#

rogue numbing poison too

jagged pier
strong forum
#

Literally pinned a message in officer chat just now to remind myself.

uneven mason
#

TFW they gave warlocks oldschool thunderclap debuff

fierce tendon
#

Lmao

lavish oracle
#

Curse of tongues was doing work when I was running with one the other day in a spires

fierce tendon
#

tongues is pog if ur doing council on frieda, few other cast bosses as well

#

makes the kick rotation nice and easy

undone jacinth
jagged pier
#

probably, but still swing times for yourself i can under stand some what

#

not boss swing timers

undone jacinth
#

its also the kind of thing that ppl say when they are messing up a bunch of other basic stuff to begin with

#

no offense to that guy

smoky saffron
#

id just rather not waste 2 secs of block on a just missed auto

steel mauve
#

i usually just memorize bosses swinging and can play around that, but youve never really needed boss swing timers

hallow phoenix
#

Quartz might be able to?

chilly brook
steel mauve
#

its a waste of time/resources/screen space to do so

chilly brook
#

Which DBM already tells you about

hallow phoenix
#

Do boss swing timers still speed up when they parry? Like when a dps gets parried

jagged pier
chilly brook
#

Not afaik @hallow phoenix

steel mauve
#

missing 2 seconds of a shield block wasting it will really have little to no effect on your performance

chilly brook
#

Most bosses dont parry anyways

steel mauve
#

no, parry swings hasnt been a thing since wrath

hallow phoenix
#

Raid ones

steel mauve
#

parry haste*

#

thats what fucked frost dk tanking up and they had to change it

hallow phoenix
#

Was frost tank dw even back then?

chilly brook
#

Yep

steel mauve
#

yes, when they first came out dw tanking was a thing, and it doubled the chance of parries which in turn parry haste fucked em up

chilly brook
#

If they kept frost as the tank spec

hallow phoenix
#

Frost shoulda stayed the tank spec

chilly brook
#

Blood DK wouldn't be in the situation its been in this xpac and the last

hallow phoenix
#

All that bonus armor they had mmm

chilly brook
#

Blood literally just doesn't work with the design philosophy of blizz

hallow phoenix
#

It's always gonna be bad or be OP

chilly brook
#

Well fundamentally the idea of no mitigation and just having tons of HP and you basically heal it back when you get chunked doesn't work with the design philosophy of current wow

#

Because difficulty scales which basically means at a point they will get clapped

#

Obviously all tanks get clapped at a certain point

fast ruin
#

should i go with a 20 ilvl increase on my trinket (blood-spattered scale), 10 ilvl increase on my shield, or 7 ilvl increase on my belt (haste/crit -> verse/haste) ?

chilly brook
#

But they run into issues far sooner

fast ruin
#

200 haste/crit

chilly brook
#

And your trinkets?

fast ruin
#

207 stone legion and 200 blood-spattereed scale

lavish oracle
#

Big scale is nice, but probably shield

hallow phoenix
#

Shieldddd

chilly brook
#

I swear

#

If I open my vault

#

And I get another scale

#

I'm gonna delete my character

lavish oracle
#

I got big legs but I want a Shield so bad

fast ruin
#

ive gotten scale 3 times now

chilly brook
#

I'd love a shield

#

But I need a chest

#

I've had scale twice so far

#

So wouldn't be surprised for a third in a row

lavish oracle
#

These are some first world problems

chilly brook
#

And itll probably be in my 226 slot

lavish oracle
#

I guess I can't complain, I've gotten a weapon 3 times in a row

chilly brook
torpid granite
fallow mortar
#

just simmed and forgot to add to weapon enchant to the weapon I could have gotten from the vault and now it is simming 90 dps higher than the pants I took..... fucking oof

jagged pier
hallow phoenix
#

Weapon wouldve been better defensively as well, most likely

fallow mortar
hallow phoenix
#

IP scales with weapon dps

fallow mortar

ah, fuck

RIP

chilly brook
#

So happy they finally dropped Twisting Corridors

#

Took them way too long

woven kiln
#

any US people got the mount yet?

nimble drift
#

What's so special about twisting corridors

#

Isnt just torghast but without the soul ash and longer

jagged pier
#

mount and transmog

nimble drift
#

I thought people hated that shit

jagged pier
#

i hate it because it too easy

#

this hopefully will add some challenge

woven kiln
#

yeah I'm hoping it will be mage tower hard

modern brook
jagged pier
#

well its not like mage tower

woven kiln
#

would be nice for the mount to mean something

chilly brook
jagged pier
#

yer its 18x8

nimble drift
#

So sanguine quaking

chilly brook
#

It's a lot of floors to complete

nimble drift
#

Sounds easy

woven kiln
#

like 144 floors

#

what a snore

#

yeah this is a push week

uneven mason

TOrghast will have to wait

Snoreghast will be there next week anyways

Torghast is the guy that brings his guitar to a camping trip but he only knows the opening chords to wonderwall

woven kiln
#

there are some parts of torghast that aren't that bad. I like it when it's over and I can leave

chilly brook
woven kiln
#

LOL

chilly brook
#

I actually unironically like torghast

#

A lot

woven kiln
#

the bad singing is the laggy fog

modern brook
#

I like the concept of torghast

#

the execution is lacking and lame imo

nimble drift
#

I run torghast with a boomie and fire mage friend. It's fun just steamrolling it

modern brook
#

Warrior benefits from having REALLY fun powers

nimble drift
#

I enjoy when the difficulty comes from anything that isnt just high boss health

modern brook
#

infinite execute is very funny

jagged pier
#

would have liked the first version of torghast not gunna lie

chilly brook
#

Just make fun powers for everyone else 4head

modern brook
#

Its blizzard

nimble drift
#

OH BTW, how were your guys vault

#

Any goodies?

chilly brook

Dunno haven't opened it yet

only ~ 12/36 specs are allowed to have fun at any given time

chilly brook

Haven't logged in

nimble drift

Same

jagged pier
#

i get mine tomorrow

modern brook
#

the remaining 24 need to echo bring the player and hope its still true

chilly brook
modern brook
#

Cause i took the time to count

#

Opened icy vein's class list and everything

chilly brook
nimble drift
#

Are prot still considered bottom tier?

#

Idk I feel like I never see brewmasters in any raids I'm in, but I see plenty of other prot

woven kiln
#

my vault luck has been insane. week 1: 223 main hand. Week 2 226 offhand

chilly brook
modern brook
#

refering to ur shield as an offhand is blasphemous tbh

woven kiln
#

yeah prot are considered bottom still

nimble drift
modern brook
nimble drift
#

I need it bad

chilly brook
#

Lol

#

Ironically 3x12 still arrives at the same conclusion

modern brook
#

Yeah cause 4 and 2 are 3+-1

#

which is a real math way of saying are "6"

chilly brook
#

Give

#

Warrior

#

4

#

Specs

modern brook
#

They cant even get arms right

#

give us 3 specs first

chilly brook
#

Where my gladiator spec at

uneven mason
#

Change Fury to a healing spec where you get mad at people for being hurt like a bad father

chilly brook
modern brook
#

Nah

chilly brook
#

It's even worse than arms isn't it

modern brook
#

Fury is fun its undertuned

#

Arms is not fun

uneven mason
#

and our 4th can be a utility spec that just makes everyone else feel better because its so bad.

modern brook
#

But its tuned well better than fury

chilly brook
#

Well?

#

Nah

uneven mason
#

its tuned "meh"

#

Arms is not tuned well

#

at all

modern brook
#

NGL

uneven mason
#

by any stretch in PVE

chilly brook
#

It's only tuned well in pvp

modern brook
#

no clue where warriors fall on the overall charts

chilly brook
#

Where you execute and clap people

sweet summit
#

middle for arms

#

and bottom for fury

chilly brook
#

Bottom middle for arms

modern brook
#

^ that was my general understanding

chilly brook
#

Like bad

modern brook
#

the point is that ppl play arms because they have to cause fury is garbo

chilly brook
#

Worse than DH

sterile moss
#

Does Fury still have the option of equipping two 1Hs or two 2Hs?

chilly brook
#

Yes

modern brook
#

not to say arms doesnt have some stans

sweet summit
#

yeah ok arms is like bottom 5 too

silver trout
#

both are bad atm

chilly brook
#

Arms is just bad

#

Bad bad

sweet summit
#

but ap buff deswind

chilly brook

Bad bad bad

Aight My point stands though

But at least it slaps in pvp

uhh

shoulders?

uneven mason

Could it be the grey parse warlock is #1? No..thats totally logical, green parse DK in the top 3, what we have here is the issue that someone let a damn FERAL DRUID INTO THE RAID

Shoulders obviously

uneven mason

Except shoulders is The wall?

chilly brook
uneven mason

πŸ‘

novel willow
#

mainly do m+ so using the hands @uneven mason

modern brook
#

TRINKET

#

caps was on but that conveys my conviction so im leavin it

novel willow
#

I thought the trinket waas super good is why i wasn't sure, using the 203 version

sharp void
#

Figured since u considered the shoulders a choice

chilly brook
#

I have been blessed

modern brook
#

@chilly brook that is almost 90 ilvls higher than mine

nimble drift
#

the vault is kind this morning

#

MHs, Shields, and bis trinkets galore

Also

Quantum is kinda meh

#

imho

mighty valley
#

arena skirmish week... time to choose between my two excellent pvp choices, fury and prot

nimble drift
#

Okay so lightless force or celestial guidance?

digital nova
#

lightless is what I'm running

nimble drift
#

its what i had on my 200 axe

mighty valley
#

afaik it's lightless force if you do any amount of aoe

modern brook
#

Ive seen ppl take CG with the gold stat in mind

uneven mason
#

Griff, so jealous

#

I can't get anything over 184 to drop shield wise.

lilac sleet
#

I picked up a 220 shield this morning as well, feelsgood

uneven mason
#

I haven't even been given the opportunity

#

but i should focus on my DPS spec ><

#

since thats normally what I do in raid

outer solstice
#

@nimble drift that PVP trinket is quite amazing

nimble drift
#

Yeah but I have been using a 200ilvl MH for a long time

outer solstice
#

oh well I sit on a 184 xD

#

but gonna buy conquest one 220 after reset ^^

#

finally (unless I get lucky)

signal plover
#

hmmm 220 sang vintage or 213 glutt spike

#

hmmmmmm

outer solstice
#

oof

nimble drift
#

sang vintage

#

glutt spike is meh

#

1min cd on a shield+heal is pretty pog

signal plover
#

i mean the heal is almost a non factor in prog cuz shield is smol but i think i agree

outer solstice
#

might be good for huntsman πŸ˜›

signal plover
#

i have a 207 and it's aight

nimble drift
#

100% the sang vintage

#

u can use it for every pull

chilly brook

in every dungeon

thats a terrible lego πŸ˜”

anyone else unable to complete Succumbing to Pride?

outer solstice

yeah,.... deathmaker or signet for fury

@astral crystal what is that? *think

yea @astral crystal join a party and hope u get the tag

deft bridge
#

Do you guys use AM or Bolster?

#

For raids mainly

outer solstice
#

AM + wall = fun

sweet summit
#

depends on what im doing

#

normal or hc AM personally

uneven mason
sweet summit
#

mythic probably bolster

outer solstice
#

@uneven mason or prot πŸ˜›

uneven mason
#

if only I could get my tank spot perma

sick sentinel
#

what if any class utility can be brought to lower keys like up to 9

outer solstice
#

@sweet summit well depends on the fight I'd say, shriekwing e.g. works quite well without huntsman

sweet summit
#

true

astral crystal
outer solstice
#

and I like AM for huntsman as well, especially for barghast

#

but for huntsman bolster is a legitimate option I'd say as you have near no downtime besides the casts the bosses/bears do

sick sentinel
#

always stuck with bolster after i learned of 15 seconds 100% block

outer solstice
#

yeah but 1 minute CD SW is a thing

uneven mason
#

if you have TW and AM + the conduit its really nice.

outer solstice
#

yeah I love it

sterile moss
#

how many soul rips do barghast fights usually last?

#

on hc

deft bridge
#

which conduit?

outer solstice
#

stalwart guardian

#

@sterile moss depends heavily on your DPS, we had like 3-4 but we keep all CDs to overpower barghast

#

isnt the one that buffs ignore pain better most of the time?

sterile moss
#

because the last pug I did it with, it was lasting 4 rips. Without anger management or the conduit, I could wall the first and last

outer solstice
#

I think the lowest CD I got with all of that (without timewarp) was about 1:08

astral crystal
#

PSA, if you're kyrian, don't do the maw before doing your 21 renown quest

outer solstice
#

@deft bridge the one that adds more absorb to it? I don't really like it, you either are very close to capping IP or to loose IP

astral crystal

since you have to go into the fucking maw to complete it

the IP conduit seemed underwhelming to me, but not sure how the numbers would compare to others

I like the rage during LS one

I am NF ^^

using 2 defensives rn

on Niya

deft bridge

the one for shield wall for raids, ignore pain on mythics

since aoe damage is better there

outer solstice
#

M+ stuff hurts super hard I don#t think it's worth more in M+

for M+ I'd play offensive conduits though

like the last stand = more rage one

deft bridge
uneven mason

But trash burns through IP so fast it will vanish instantly

mighty valley

the IP conduit doesn't seem great most of the time but the other options aren't exciting either

outer solstice

well stalwart guardian and unnverving focus are very nice

mighty valley

guess I'll try focus

outer solstice

watch out to not overcap πŸ˜›

deft bridge

spamming that execute button to pad dps as tank

mighty valley

it's like a sneaky dps conduit on an endurance slot

outer solstice

you can also pop it before pull

ngl i do that when all of the hurr durr dps die

mighty valley

especially for us rare venthyr prot warriors lmao

outer solstice

to increase avatar/charge

and spam revenge to start a fight πŸ˜›

(or condem for you red bois)

deft bridge

revenge is so underwhelming for single target tho

its sad

outer solstice

it still does a lot

oh cool it's no longer tyrannical

looks like condemn is back on the menu, boys

outer solstice

nah, still tyrannical

venthyr really bad with protect ?

it's playable

the dps is underrated for raiding

there are M+ weeks where i'm very jealous of kyrians tho

deft bridge
outer solstice
#

yeah I have like 2k DPS and a tad on ST for raid bosses

(without pots and not 100% padding)

mighty valley

i get legendary parses on bosses despite being relatively casual just because there are barely any venthyr prots

uneven mason
outer solstice
#

@mighty valley are the logs split per covenant?

mighty valley
#

nah, just per spec

outer solstice
#

ok was wondering

#

as I'm getting oranges as well as NF

uneven mason
#

NF is great in raid IMO

outer solstice
#

lol for artificer I'm #17 on NF warriors (about 130 for all warriors) xD xD

uneven mason
#

because most of the time targets are stationary

outer solstice
#

well in M+ you can control it as well if you're tanking

uneven mason
#

depends on the week

#

Sanguin

#

not a good week to be NF

mighty valley

sanguine quaking is gonna be annoying, my guild is heavily melee

outer solstice

yeah you have to be very careful

the wind thing is even worse

for melee

hey at least I can't accidentally spear packs into a sanguine pool

yeah, didn't say it wasn't easy, but mobs sitting in one spot after the first dies is just not going to mesh lol

sterile moss

People keep listing numbers for parses.. is there some popular addon that gives percentiles or something?

ionic fern
mighty valley
#

You need someone in your raid logging the fights

#

Then they can slap them on the site

sterile moss
#

ah, so these numbers are produced after the encounter rather than live while playing?

strong forum
#

Yes

mighty valley
#

yeah, they're comparing to the rest of the provided logs

uneven mason

Imagine if thye added live parse responses like some sort of Dance Dance Revolution callout

"GREAT - GREAT - BAD BAD BAD, YOU'RE HORRIBLE BZZZZZ"

mighty valley
#

peloton for raiding

strong forum
#

They are a comparison, how many people you beat, if you have a 99 parse it means you meat 99% of all prot warriors in dps who have this fight logged

#

If you have a 50 parse, did more dps than 50% of all prot warriors ( or whatever spec you're playing)

sterile moss
#

Yeah I get what they are, just wasn't sure where the info was coming from

strong forum

It always compares same spec to same spec

uneven mason

and theres a column for weighted by ilvl

also keep in mind, DPS is not the all and end all for any ranks

We did it at 130

Cuz it's literally whatever

we went in at around 160-165 first week because we somehow already had that gear xD

But I guess 150 should do it for pugs

or was it 150-155 ?

strong forum

Normal drops 158

Heroic drops 171

140ish yeah was super easy to get, M0s are very doable at that range, just gotta follow mechanics

so did anyone else get the bug on Stitchflesh

what happened?

uneven mason

where he was spawning 2 abom every time he jumped up

like, we'd catch him

with a hook

and then 3s later he'd jump back up

and spawn 2 abombs

Ouch.

that semms super bugged,... we only had half the trash from downstairs join us on stichflesh xD xD

randomly

We had the birds in DoS join us randomly mid Methuzala

lol

uneven mason

so we were like 'uh ok"

native wharf

question. on the 3rd add of the huntsman fight, how are you getting it to move just one step? ill inch backwards but it takes 2 steps more often than just taking 1 step.

outer solstice
#

methuzala is funny xD

#

@native wharf what difficulty?

native wharf
#

heroic

outer solstice
#

I do sidesteps

native wharf
#

normal too

outer solstice
#

but watch out to not get hit in the back

#

on heroic and normal your raid shoudl also be able to just take the dmg all the time, constnatly resetting from maximum 2 stacks

#

no impowered sinseekers and such BS on hc

#

you have to watch out of

#

for

native wharf
#

well, they probably can but rl kinda gets upset lol. im telling him its very difficult to just move one step. ill give side stepping a go.

uneven mason
#

just keep moving

outer solstice
#

so how many stacks do they want you to tank?

uneven mason
#

if you let it build up its worse on HC

outer solstice
#

that's a bad tactic for hc

uneven mason
#

way worse

outer solstice
#

just get the stacks down and dance around the boss with your bear

uneven mason
#

waiting 6seconds and then moving will basically 1 shot your raid

#

No one stands and face tanks that guy on HC, not even monks πŸ˜›

outer solstice
#

well even on myhtic I prefer not do facetank him ....

#

but yeah.... sinseekers

uneven mason
#

yeah

#

gotta let up for a moment

#

thats what SW is for

outer solstice
#

and PS πŸ˜›

native wharf
#

im just trying to keep it at 2 stacks tbh. which should be easy in theory but the way he moves with me is just really awkward

outer solstice
#

just get it to 0

uneven mason
#

just keep moving

outer solstice
#

#easy

uneven mason
#

keep it down

#

You'll literally make it easier on your healers

outer solstice
#

there is no reason to have additional stacks on him besides low raid HP

uneven mason
#

by just continually moving.

strong forum
#

i only moved when raid was healthy

#

on mythic

uneven mason
#

yeah

strong forum
#

around 4-5 stacks

uneven mason
#

can do that

native wharf
#

wait, you're telling me to move him constantly? doesnt he pulse aoe every step even at 0 stacks?

uneven mason
#

but Nom has a fancy shield

#

no

outer solstice
#

yeah there seem to be different tactics for it, we only stop for the sinseekers

uneven mason
#

he only pulses when he has a stack'

#

but he gains them quick

it'll be like every 2s

outer solstice

@native wharf only removing a stack pulses

strong forum
#

sinseeker in p4 are suicides

literally just die

native wharf

wtf!!! i had no idea. geeze i feel dump

dumb

outer solstice
#

yeah but once you're in P4 it's basically a win

#

@native wharf sounds more like your RL didn't look into it properly or read some outdated guide

native wharf
#

so this only becomes a mechanic to deal with in mythic then?

uneven mason
#

kinda

outer solstice
#

on hc it could be, if the raid is low

#

but tbh... the amount of heal you soak when he has high stacks won't fix the raid either

native wharf
#

interesting. tyvm for the help

uneven mason
#

If your raid is low going into that phase it means you screwed up on shades

#

almost no raid damage on HC/Normal

yeah only the measly dot of the sinseeker on 3 people if done correctly + the multishot

it isnt but when the two melee dps keep it up and dont bring it to someone else

huntsman trinket seems like there might be some niche use where you avoid getting oneshot by giving damage to your offtank when you're currently tanking

but i haven't seen a time it's worth switching to yet

basically any situation you would use intervene on the other tank

so not very many

well it's sort of like giving intervene to your non-warrior cotank

meanwhile I get more and more stupid pugs in +10 that make the whole group wipe at a boss or leave the group after someone dies the first time

inviting pugs you have to hit the "sweet spot": not too high io score and not too low. If it is too high they are the ones that leave fast if something small goes wrong

do you have a solid group @nimble drift?

mighty valley

i've managed to avoid pugs entirely so far

though getting to a point where comp matters and we can't just throw a random five of whoever's online at anything

DoS is funny, two pulls are some of the worst in the game, the rest is easy

but it has by far the tightest timer of any mythic

also no one had actually learned how the bosses worked by the time it mattered
