voracity

dull zodiac
#

11K ?

strong forum
#

good

#

its a really really good trinket

dull zodiac
#

dd u just use it on cd?

#

or can i macro it into avatar?

#

as its the same cd and length

raw mango
#

should I try layer 8 TC in a group or solo?

dull zodiac
#

is ravager always better than unstoppable force in m+?

#

asking becasue the cheatsheet recommens it

#

but on icy veins it says unstoppable force

neat dirge
#

@sweet summit i have 197 ilvl anima field emitter, theres no way i should use that over 220 ilvl heraldry in m+ right?

#

considering 2 guys in my m+ group also has that trinket

strong forum
#

na heraldry is pretty amazing aswell

#

stick with heraldry

dull zodiac
#

im new to prot and im running kyrian, ravager, my issue is that theres so many small cds all on diff cds, how do i deal with this?

#

use on cd?

#

delay to line up?

#

talking about avatar, demo shout, ravager, kyrian spear

fringe marten
#

it's fairly rare you'd drop ravager and not spear, or vice versa...even though they're on 15 sec different cd's, you're generally dumping everything you have for max dps and their cd's will line up as you move between packs in M+

#

only time I'd seperate them is if ravager had just come up, but a pack if mobs is dying off..so you can just run to the next pack, throw ravager at them

#

and then a few seconds later dump spear again

dull zodiac
#

ok thanks

#

Yup niya seems better than khorayn imo, wait covenants balance. I'd like to check Maldraxxus

#

is it confirmed covenant balancing is even going to happen? would be great for necro warrior not to suck

no

theyre hardly doing ANY balancing

I feel like I've hit such a big wall tanking higher than 15 keys (mostly pugging). I really liked tanking until then but pushing as high as possible has never been less fun

deft vessel
#

i've suddenly hit a wall of getting invited this week

#

spent 45 minutes looking for a group, as a 213 tank with 1060 score, 13s and 14s

#

i've already timed several 14s

echo egret
#

Any tips for the first few packs of DOS with the crapton of magical damage ?

sweet summit
#

kite

misty tartan
#

someone misdirect you, drop your ravager and spear and gtfo

sweet summit
#

thats a bit overkill

#

you get in with cd

echo egret
#

yeah just bodypulling and I die in 1 second

sweet summit
#

and run after cds expire

echo egret
#

these bonesoldiers and their shadow attack.. 2 of that + 1 shadowcore = poof

misty tartan
#

the shadowcore one is the pack with the urn though

#

right?

undone jacinth
#

If you have a good way of killing the mask then skip the 2nd pack til you have all cds, dps and yours

sweet summit
#

theres one of those packs without an urn

undone jacinth
#

There’s no urn

echo egret
#

urn is for pack before ardenweald

jagged pier
undone jacinth
#

you just kite the bonesoldiers basically or use everything you have

echo egret
#

oh nice

misty tartan
#

grats

echo egret
#

are other tanks that much more armed to face these packs ?

misty tartan
#

i find shieldblock mostly reducing a fixed amount of dmg and other classes a % of incoming attack can have influence

#

I have prot warr and monk, and monk definitely feels more durable to mistakes, but certainly not invincible

jagged pier
#

well warrior is the most punishing tank to play so that makes sense

pale pelican
#

Apologies for the dumb question, I've checked pins, looked at top prot warriors, icy/wowhead...which legendary should I do first for primary M+. Guides seem to prefer thunderlord, but majority of top tanks seem to use the wall? Just on the fence.

undone jacinth
#

Your choice

#

Wall probably makes more sense because it’s reusable for raid

pale pelican
#

gotcha, so no clear winner then.

#

tanking is def. an off spec for me

dull zodiac
#

is going wall over thunder a huge dps loss for m+?

jagged pier
#

no

#

its a small one

dull zodiac
#

prot is my alt and i wondt be doing much thorgast

#

im not sure what content ill do

#

a mix of medium keys and alt raids

#

so wall i guess is the sensible choice

undone jacinth
#

sensible indeed

strong forum
#

wall is a bite more defensive, TL is a bit more offensive, both are perfectly playable but walls rage gain is big QoL

heady ivy
#

when running the wall you use shield wall more liberally too I suppose?

neat dirge
#

@strong forum thanks for answering the trinket question Nom-senpai

#

also been taking a look at different tank classes a bit, warrior still the most fun but

#

feels a bit weird

#

having to choose damage or defensive

#

and imma be honest, i hate IP

#

using IP when ur rage isnt above 60 feels fucking bad

undone jacinth
#

most tanks have to choose damage or defensive

#

even VDH sacrifices dmg

#

Prot pala kinda doesn’t but they are paper

strong forum
#

eh not every tank has to choose either or

#

its kinda only pwar, vdh is more a talent choice rather than actual rotation choice

undone jacinth
#

talent choice is still choosing

#

maybe there should be a Prot Lego to do damage based on IP absorb

#

would give a reason to pick the IP talent as well

I wonder if they also wanna snap the entire necropolis in one pull

tbh that specific snap is so big I suspect Blizz will fix it

undone jacinth
#

lol go and do it in a pug then see if they need to fix it or not!

is there a reason why im dying to the first two pulls on DoS M11?

the bone soldiers do a magic melee attack that does insane dmg

amber herald
#

need to interuppt shadowcore

#

on the big guy who does the knockback

undone jacinth
#

the bone soldiers will do twice as much damage as shadowcore instantly

#

open with your defensives then run for your life after they are down

amber herald
#

also what route are you doing? you don't want to do one pack after the other

lofty widget
#

well you kinda have to

undone jacinth
#

you can if you don’t wall pack one

you don’t have to

Is anyone aware of a weak aura or a addon that will compare the equipped gear set with your talents to make sure that you have the right stuff? I have different talents that I use for my Thunderlord vs my Wall layout and I want to make sure I don't forget to change talents

grabbing the big rage mob either on the way or on the way back

#

on the way is better though for cooldowns

undone jacinth
#

some groups will find doing the mask harder then doing the pack

undone jacinth
#

your choice of AM or not should be based on content not Lego

amber herald
#

There's an urn on the stairs for the rager so it's usually ok

undone jacinth
#

if you’re planning to use nothing on it to get CDs up for the pack then he can get 2-3 rages off depending on how you time the urn so you’ll be dead

#

I usually choose which one to do depending on how much st we have

amber herald
#

In my groups we usually urn the on the rage cast, and then you kill him middle of the second rage

#

idk let's see if the guy replies his route might be nothing to do with it

deft vessel
#

okay, how do you time the berserker enrage on the first few packs of mists?

#

I notice the ability after it's cast, it doesn't seem to cast (unless I'm mega blind) it's just an instant that they just gain at some point

#

the issue I have is that if the healer neglects to cleanse me from the debuff, they might two shot me through shield block

#

sooooooo yeah

strong forum
#

you mean the soulsplit?

deft vessel
#

whatever the enrage-like is on the melee dudes

strong forum
#

the first one you can reflect if you open with shockwave or time your leap properly

#

you mean this pull right

deft vessel
#

less the pull, more just in general teh soul cleavers

strong forum
#

your healer has to dispell you on soulsplits

#

and you can reflect the soulsplit if you time it well

deft vessel
#

I see, I need to build a feel for that then

strong forum
#

i didnt know about the ability until people mentioned in here

#

cuz i often just reflected it by accident

#

and i just get dispelled insta aswell or had SW up

deft vessel
#

I think I've reflected a few on accident as well, but not always

#

and the healer's reaction/prio on it often means I either burn too many CDs or just die

What is more damage on a fight like sun king. The 10 haste or ravager?

strong forum
#

its that simple

sweet egret
#

thanks

strong forum
#

just stick with ITF

#

most important dmg is on shade

adds are dealt with by group

nimble drift
#

Well I'm tryna get my dmg parse up

undone jacinth
#

only way u can parse that fight is if ur guild sux

strong forum
#

eh

nimble drift
#

I mean if your guild sucks you ain't clearing it

strong forum
#

i wouldnt give 2 shits about Sunking

#

its pure pad

#

literally irrelevant

undone jacinth
#

not enough suck to not kill it

#

but enough to not kill adds fast

strong forum
#

if you kill adds fast and effectively aswell as shade, im pretty sure your parse is better than shit killtime and barely manage it

uneven mason
#

execution speed goes a huge way toward parse

strong forum
#

cuz getting out of p2 fast is vital

#

and then go ham in p3 execute

undone jacinth
#

I mean if you're aoeing the entire team

#

your parse must be better

uneven mason
#

faster your kill higher your parse will be

undone jacinth
#

time*

#

staying longer in a phase with 8 targets

#

is gonna be better

uneven mason
#

but Kael execution has almost nothing todo with damage on adds hehe

#

It won't be

undone jacinth
#

??

uneven mason
#

if you're staying in that phase you're losing execution, thus, your parse will be shittier

undone jacinth
#

wut

uneven mason
#

the best parses are going to almost always be the higher execution/faster kills

nimble drift
#

How many revenge targets makes it more worth using over execute

uneven mason
#

Because its not about DPS #s 100%, they implimented that change back when the cheese monsters were stopping DPS on kills to let their warriors stack 100 huggernuts

#

I usually queue with a 2k rating friend and he gets me into good groups, but he xfer and now I can't do rbgs with him. Legit 12 rating off 1800

#

Feels bad man

steady spruce
#

oh allright

#

nothing wrong with that, take it at your pace budyd, as long as you enjoy the game

#

NW Tyrannical is the worst dungeon to time pride imo

strong forum
#

can never manage to get the 60% pride on 2nd boss properly

#

and then backtrack for the remaining % <.<

#

that being said, havent been in NW for 4+ weeks yep

deft vessel
#

see second boss I also don't typically get, that's the one pride that's a bit off in my route

steady spruce
#

Lol

deft vessel
#

but I've had success with it so far

#

lol

#

I get pride on every other boss

steady spruce
#

i have a great route for 60% on 2nd if you're interested

deft vessel
#

except last for obvious reasons

#

I know the route, I just, don't have as much success with it

#

and I opt for taking the goliath on the left

steady spruce
#

2nd and 3rd are the killer on Tyrannical

deft vessel
#

since i'm kyrian

strong forum
#

3rd a killer?

#

🤔

#

how

steady spruce
#

he is

strong forum
#

just dont kill the aboms

#

and youre good to go

steady spruce
#

people want to brute force it by not killing the adds

#

and grab him everytime it's possible

deft vessel
#

people are bad at it, is all, get the first abom to pull him down again, and with pride and lust you should two phase him on tyrannical

steady spruce
#

just too much damage to sustain

strong forum
#

you kill the first abom just as the boss jumps back

#

so you never have 2 up

deft vessel
#

you mean as he comes back down I imagine

strong forum
#

na

#

you kill 1st abom, just after his 3rd hook

deft vessel
#

since you want to use first abom to pull him down, it's the quickest, the first three pulls, first pull to bring boss down, second to interrutp fixate, third to pull boss down again and then you kill

strong forum
#

if you can manage to keep it alive for that long

#

its very hard to keep it alive for the 3rd hook tho

deft vessel
#

true

steady spruce
#

the thing people use third hook of first add to grab the boss and then it become dangerous

#

I mean the hook that goes off when boss first escape

deft vessel
#

two aboms for a long period of time is bad, people either fuck it up or damage becomes too much

steady spruce
#

imo it's a mistake unless you have a very high damage group

#

But last week i +15 NW and this boss lasted 52 sec 😄

#

Spear helped

#

But he didn't have time to escape once

strong forum
#

ye at 15 you should be able to 1phase him

steady spruce
#

With pride + Lust + Spear on tyrannical

deft vessel
#

with enough DPS you should yeah

#

entirely DPS dependant, like most things in m+

strong forum
#

like all of SL m+

#

which is just 😪

deft vessel
#

yeah i suppose

steady spruce
#

but dps are so mean 😢

deft vessel
#

DPS suck most of the time -.-

strong forum
#

pls buff tanks, kthx

deft vessel
#

I shouldn't be doing close to the same overall damage with my dumb 207 weapon compared to a MM hunter with a 220 weapon

#

like, how the fuck does that even happen

steady spruce
#

wut

strong forum
#

no an mm hunter should do 6k+

steady spruce
#

how much damage do you do overall Diru

deft vessel
#

usually around 3k most dungeons I think, on some more I think

#

I had a hunter's overall at 2.9 last week, a warlock's overall at 3.1k vs. my 3.3k (affliction lock on tyrannical week mind you)

#

it's so perpelxing

strong forum
#

any good dps should do min do 30% more than a tank

#

really good dps do more than double

deft vessel
#

the core of the issue is that people hold cooldowns for fucking ever

#

even on fortified weeks

strong forum
#

yeah people hold their shit for big pulls

#

which is just inting

steady spruce
#

i'm around 2K5+ but not 3k

strong forum
#

mh thats rather low

#

im around 3.5k

steady spruce
#

damn

strong forum
#

i should prolly break into the 4k this week

#

cuz i got alot of gear(haste) recently

deft vessel
#

i have a lot of haste too

steady spruce
#

2K4 dps :p

#

(active)

strong forum
#

how do i cahnge to active dps

steady spruce
#

just hover over "active" %

strong forum
#

this my hoa 16

steady spruce
#

in the damage done section

#

you did 2K9 active

strong forum
#

still seems wrong

#

this was 3.7k on details for example

#

but is 3.6k in logs

steady spruce
#

you also do more healing

#

than me

deft vessel
#

well ignore pain scales with gear ofc

strong forum
#

it scales with skill

#

okay

#

seems i just generated way more rage than you did thurn

#

cuz i healed 860k with Indom

#

you only did 680k

deft vessel
#

the wall?

steady spruce
#

mine's left

strong forum
#

our devastators did roughly same

steady spruce
#

yeah but deep wound

strong forum
#

i casted 11 SS per minute

#

you only casted 8 per minute

steady spruce
#

Wouldn't deep wounds be the thing to look at to compare mastery?

strong forum
#

you only had like 50 mastery more than me

#

i had 375 mastery

steady spruce
#

you did more damage on Spear than me while casting it 3 time less

#

i might want to look into that

strong forum
#

bigger pulls

#

prolly

steady spruce
#

yep

strong forum
steady spruce
#

damn

strong forum
#

i just generate alot more rage than you do

steady spruce
#

Would that Shield slam difference be due to haste

#

i have like 13%

strong forum
#

i had 200 haste more than you

#

doubtful

#

thats like 6%ish

steady spruce
#

well i'm using those on CD and you have 30% more SS cast while being 2min faster on the key

strong forum
#

6% haste difference shouldnt result in 30% difference 🙂

steady spruce
#

indeed

strong forum
#

you also ran kleia

#

i ran pelagos

#

so i had way bigger spears

#

cuz extra 350 mastery on spear cast

steady spruce
#

oh right

strong forum
#

thats 20% dmg gain

#

and 226 weapon vs your 203 weapon

#

but in general, you should look into pressing SS more

steady spruce
#

will do

#

OH

#

nah i was gonna say you run the wall so it's normal that you use SS more

#

but no

#

I casted 44 Demo shout vs your 36 so i won like 6 thanks to TL

strong forum
#

thats...

#

not alot my guy

#

its technically even less cuz you spent 2min longer in the dungeon

#

press demo more often Pepexecute press SS more often Pepexecute

steady spruce
#

will do

strong forum
undone jacinth
#

your casts of just literally everything are lower

#

are you kiting a lot or something?

steady spruce
#

yeah i was looking at execute and revenge

#

On HOA probably as much as everybody else

#

130 revenges vs 190
30 execute vs 65

strong forum
#

ye that comes all down from generating less rage

steady spruce
#

You only did 1 SHield wall more than me thos while running The Wall but that doesn't say a lot

strong forum
#

i dont use SW alot ye

#

only when its properly beneficial

#

aint using it on CD alot

#

cuz i dont feel in danger at all

undone jacinth
#

probably shouldnt compare across different dungeons tho

strong forum
#

we compared hoa vs hoa

#

16 vs 16

undone jacinth
#

i thought urs was mists

strong forum
#

tyra vs tyra

#

i posted 2 logs

steady spruce
#

i did twice as much heroic leap so yeah might be kitting too much

undone jacinth
#

ah right got u

#

difference in rage was 2k

steady spruce
#

but i did more charge 😄

#

should've more rage

strong forum
#

prolly from leaping out hippo

steady spruce
#

duh

strong forum
#

i think i have this run uploaded on youtube aswell

steady spruce
#

What do you say charge weaving isn't a thing as tank? yep

undone jacinth
#

were you the guy that said about charge weaving earlier

strong forum
#

na that was someone else

steady spruce
#

what was said?

undone jacinth
#

cant remember just remember thinking wtf

strong forum
#

dude was asking about swing timers for AA

undone jacinth
#

how do mages still exist in this state after bfa

steady spruce
#

oh yeah i ditched those when i'm in tank spec

strong forum
#

how does anything thats uncapped still exist.

#

blizz made sure to cap almost everything

steady spruce
#

might want to get the ennemy swing timer back in raids tho

strong forum
#

na

undone jacinth
#

hell nah

strong forum
#

most enemy swing timers are like 1.6sec

#

only very specific cases are different

steady spruce
#

okay

strong forum
#

like orgozoa

steady spruce
#

Oh yes the italian cheese monster

undone jacinth
#

I feel like you just get used to ur hp bar moving

#

at a consistent time

strong forum
#

ye

#

experience will just make you know

undone jacinth
#

when im tanking almost anything and take a big hit I almost always naturally think 'ok I have a bit of time to do something'

strong forum
#

pmuch

undone jacinth
#

and roughly what that time is makes its way to my fingers

steady spruce
#

haven't tanked that much in raid, just did SLG HM to help some friend, seemed pretty underwhelming

undone jacinth
#

but that maybe comes from playing DH a lot where I got used to going to 10% to 100% again

#

SLG is a questionable fight

#

any fight where the adds are more of an issue than the boss I think must be bad

steady spruce
#

Feel like much tanking strat on Narthia are discussing correctly with the OT

#

"taunt the boss", "ok my turn"

#

yeehah boss's dead

undone jacinth
#

the taunt when your debuff drops rule pretty much applies everywhere

strong forum
#

well thats just raid tanking

#

taunt on 4

#

usually

undone jacinth
#

bear druid in MDI

#

its happening

steady spruce
#

did some keys as dps too, way more enjoyable

undone jacinth
#

diversity 💯

strong forum
#

DIVERSITY IS REAL

#

THE PLEBS HAVE BEEN PLEASED

steady spruce
#

why did they took one?

strong forum
#

cuz their legendary ignores necrotic :^)

steady spruce
#

is it on a specific dungeon or the team?

#

ah

#

Paladin is nice too on that

strong forum
#

the thrash gives shield leggo

#

it just doesnt get reduced by necrotic for some reason

#

so hes perfect for huge necrotic pulls

undone jacinth
#

it is nuts but it also makes you extremely useless outside of incarn

strong forum
#

translates insanely well into huge pulls tho

undone jacinth
#

every 3min ye

steady spruce
#

The team with a vdh just wiped

strong forum
#

well they just did it twice :^) in sub 3min

steady spruce
#

so the new meta is obviously Bear > VDH

strong forum
#

well yes and no

steady spruce
#

time for a new wowhead article

#

that will define the pugs for the next month

strong forum
#

bear was always contender for being the strongest tank in m+

undone jacinth
#

its strong defensively

#

but 2k dps isnt helping anyone

#

time keys

strong forum
#

eh i dont think we've hit the dps wall yet

#

its moreso the survival wall for now

undone jacinth
#

I main bear in m+ and when I play literally any other tank everything dies quicker

strong forum
#

atleast i think so

#

not owl weaving enough hippo

steady spruce
#

I have to say one thing about the MDI, i'm impressed by the casters able to stream that for 5 hours

strong forum
#

mdi can get real bad

#

in terms of hours

#

in bfa they had like 12hr streams

#

cuz they did everything in days

undone jacinth
#

depends on ur build but u lose defensiveness with owl tech

strong forum
#

and 8 teams

steady spruce
#

too bad for a speed competition x)

undone jacinth
#

and the dmg increase isnt amazing

#

ur still getting railed by a dh

strong forum
#

yeah ive seen tomo do mad owl weaving but hes barely holding his weight on 3-3.5k dps overall

undone jacinth
#

yep and u cant convoke defensively

#

so its just like

steady spruce
#

bear tank has convoke too?

undone jacinth
#

well

#

optimally you probably run kyrian

#

but

#

convoke is too fun

strong forum
#

you can play everything as bear

undone jacinth
#

yea druid covenants are almost the best

#

for diversity

steady spruce
#

wait is the covenant ability changing according to form?

undone jacinth
#

but everyone plays fae because its just so fun

strong forum
#

but covenant abilites are class specific not spec specific, so you can convoke as bear yes

steady spruce
#

wait is the covenant ability changing according to form?

strong forum
#

it also is just best for every spec

#

yes

#

as cat you do cat things

steady spruce
#

oooh that's nice

strong forum
#

as owl you do owl things, as bear bear things, without form you heal

steady spruce
#

"I cast pur!"

undone jacinth
#

and then heart of the wild gives u a 30% damage or heal increase in other forms

#

so you like hotw and then convoke with 30% more dmg as a boomkin

#

while playing bear

#

its pretty cool

strong forum
#

yeah that part makes me wanna play bear too

#

owl weaving

#

or mad offhealing

#

and barkskin leggo making you a wall ( for SL levels of "wall" )

undone jacinth
#

yea I mostly play resto because the dungeons are almost perfectly designed for offhealing groups

#

all bosses have some kind of downtime pretty much

#

resto affinity I mean

strong forum
#

yuh

#

is good fun

undone jacinth
#

its fun to play in my opinion but I can't explain how frustrating the damage is, when I know the timers are only close because I'm missing like 2k dps

#

if the healer isn't a damage healer its horrible

#

i'm gonna switch to pala main I think

steady spruce
#

having actual useful cd seems nice

strong forum
#

ye but then youre actually taking alot of damage.

steady spruce
#

looking at you last stand

undone jacinth
#

yea its like the opposite class

#

shit loads of damage, same utility

#

but gets wrecked

strong forum

i had a sperg of maybe leveling up an UHDK

cuz i miss dealing damage

but then we dont have a tank

pretty sure other tanks dont have this 5soft cap shit

bdk is like the absolute damage abyss

outside of ST they deal the absolute least amount of dmg

looks like a lowkey

and they wiped alot

cuz 6.5mil dmg is alot

steady spruce

IT's just a meme so pictures might not be related

#

might not be a +15

strong forum
#

the 15 on the left is not related to the dmg meter

absolutely not

6.5mil dmg and 3.8k dps looks like a chain wiped low key

steady spruce
#

dunnno dude on our logs dps are at 7-9m

strong forum
#

ye exactly

undone jacinth
#

I dont know how hes doing that damage in any conditions tbh

#

probably just shopped

lol

strong forum
#

if packs live forever

you can pad alot, cuz your overall dmg isnt gonna be lowered as much by bossfights

well no

true

Do the stuns show on interrupt details?

strong forum
#

not on interrupt

deft vessel
#

don't think so, no

strong forum
#

that only shows up on CC done

#

theres a tab that shows CC done

#

including kicks stuns and fear casts

#

and w/e else

#

i remember how atal was impossible for my group to be done on me playing VDH cuz of the lack of stuns

deft vessel
#

maaaaaan I loved atal with awakened skips

steady spruce
#

On the logs Fears and shout and stun or anything that "interrupts" a cast does show up in the interrupts page

deft vessel
#

I loved awakened ;-;

undone jacinth
#

what was hard in atal

strong forum
#

atal got harder with awakened though.

undone jacinth
#

I loved atal as vd

#

vdh

deft vessel
#

it probably did

#

I still enjoyed it, I jsut really really really liked awakened

undone jacinth
#

stuns on the honour guards?

strong forum
#

Atal isnt hard, but it wasnt possible without me carrying like 400 stuns for my group 😄

#

for shield bearers, casts going off

#

stopping charges on priestess platform

#

stopping wildfires cuz people cant use their CC

#

and so on and so forth

undone jacinth
#

yea

#

I liked that as vdh because sigil is op

strong forum
#

no i mean

#

as vdh you couldnt carry every single pull with CC

#

cuz i played with boomy feral firemage and rsham

#

so we had borderline no stuns ever

besides your random cap totem and bash/maim when the feral got his 3 braincells sorted to pay attention yep

Anyway to macro spear to a cast@player ?

/cast [@player] Spear of Bastion

that seems like a bad thing to do

very bad thing to do

sturdy ravine

Aye... on pull I like to have a big aoe macro

strong forum

but...

#

spear is tiny

and by casting it on yourself youre gonna miss half of the mobs

because half of the spear is gonna be behind you

sturdy ravine

Not on bosses

steady spruce

Might be thinking of pvp

youre gonna legit have to stand inside the boss to hit it with that macro

i prefer @stoic erminesor

much much more

undone jacinth

feel like just casting it properly is a valuable skill to have

steady spruce

I use cursor right now but i'm thinking switching back to a non macro

Or have it cast on boss for raids

anything that has this green place circle thingy is @stoic erminesor for me

i'm curious about how other tank classes deal with Scythe on Top last boss on tyrannical

#

If i didn't have spell reflect i'd die so much

#

on this boss

#

Also i don't like the fact that the 20% spell damage reduction disappear when one spell is reflected

#

Also if we could chose a target and only Spell reflect from the target's spells that would be interesting

#

looking at DOS casters

strong forum
#

they use CDs for it

#

and make sure to always be full HP for it

steady spruce
#

Do you think warriors could handle this boss without spell reflect?

undone jacinth
#

for sure

#

IP

steady spruce
#

i think i tried to take the first scythe with ip up and no other cd and got down to 30% hp

strong forum
#

i mean

#

we already have to deal with it without SR

#

cuz you cant reflect every single one

undone jacinth
#

the important thing is just managing the add overlap

#

if u can get a good SW or kicks etc

#

ur ok

lofty widget
#

dont forget block for that scythe

undone jacinth

save ur wall etc

steady spruce
#

Yeah but you spell reflect the ones that are cast in dire situations

eh

theres spell Qing

#

i just insta reflect first one

steady spruce

Wait block works on Scythe? ^^

strong forum

and then start rolling from there

scythe is physical AND magical

50-50

steady spruce
#

oh

but you reflect both

for some reason

there are several multi school spells actually

physical followed by magic

yeah but no big damage when reflect with hakkar

strong forum

ye reflecting piercing barb does just nothing

lofty widget

it's satisfying to take literally 0 dmg with block+SR

but you notice it when you suddenly dont have SR up for it

then it fucking slaps

amber herald

wait you reflect physical on scythe?

#

so save SB?

undone jacinth
#

it reflects all

deft vessel
steady spruce

if you SB Scythe you still take 22K from the Magic damage

amber herald

I usually reflect and SB it

undone jacinth

are u certain?

ive never noticed taking any damage

steady spruce

if i read the logs correctly i blocked the physical but still took big damage from magical

i had SB up

Congrats on the change @undone jacinth , what pushed you out of your old guild?

#

not an easy step

undone jacinth
#

well I always hated that they don't like people giving strategy ideas in raid, there was a loot incident last week with a greedy tank that was the last straw really... just bad leadership, the players are pretty good so kinda sad about it tbh

steady spruce
#

There is no such thing as a greedy tank! Go spit your venom in another channel, fool !

undone jacinth
#

lol

#

he had a 55/30 mastery/vers 226 cloak and he rolled on a 55/30 vers/mastery 226 cloak

#

won and equipped it

steady spruce
#

ok that's greedy

#

and very dumb

undone jacinth
#

I still can't believe it tbh

#

then a bunch of people didn't sign up this week, maybe because of that, so I figured it was time to move onwards and upwards

#

and I actually got accepted somewhere as feral lmao

steady spruce
#

Sounds like a guild disband coming soon

#

you quit the boat at the right time

#

The other option was some officers leaving but guilds are hard to rebuild after taht

undone jacinth
#

the thing is they don't even communicate about it

#

they don't even explain why we are doing our prog order, why we are doing certain strats etc

#

so it's like, these bizarre loot situations might be being dealt with behind the scenes, just no way of ever knowing

steady spruce
#

I mean not communating about the thinking progress of how to planify stuff is allright as long as it goes well

#

Kinda the same stuff as a tank's route in M+

#

But as soon as there's a fuck up you need to give explanations

#

It's hard to be a great guild leader/officer but it's harder to be a bad one

undone jacinth
#

I mean they chose xymox as the 2nd boss

#

was stupid

#

and then doing reclears because they were complaining about people not having gear (we all had good gear, some of us are super high geared) then giving that cloak to our tank... then never saying a word

#

idk if things are going wrong and nobody says anything, that's bad in my opinion
