I'm confused how 5 get off and the group is alive

deft vessel
#

seriously, yeah, like, no potion will save that group

#

you need to kick those casts

modern brook
#

^ honestly that

undone jacinth
#

necro is a bleed not a disease

modern brook
#

dont over complicate it

#

just do whats expected

sick sentinel
undone jacinth
#

because it dispels bleeds

sick sentinel
#

like this

undone jacinth
#

and necrotic is a bleed

deft vessel
#

I don't really have problems with necrotic and I run pelagos

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

sick sentinel
#

oh, bleed, right, that's another one i can't remove

deft vessel
#

the only rough spot that's kind of dicey is third boss in plaguefall

#

that's literally it

ocean yoke
#

the kiela advantage was the immunity after the phial got used

undone jacinth
#

generally reset alone is enough but there are spots where the immunity is good

chilly brook
undone jacinth
#

gauntlet, birds in spires etc

sick sentinel
#

yeah, i gotta level another toon or something haha

deft vessel
#

I haven't had issues with either of those, did PF 15 and SD 15 last week with tyrannical and necrotic

#

you have ample room and space for SD gauntlet to clear

chilly brook
#

Pf is a lot better now btw

#

Like a lot better

strong forum
#

I didn't notice shit

#

On pf

#

Same dungeon

chilly brook
#

I did

modern brook
#

everything there is dog

chilly brook
#

Claws alone were noticeable

strong forum
#

Pf is Hella easy wdym bull

#

Claw you just reflect

modern brook
#

I was talking about Griffs outlaw

strong forum
#

Before the 2nd/3rd cast they're dead

deft vessel
#

yeah I didn't notice anything different, stradama is a bit easier on healers and that's more or less it

chilly brook
#

It comes up more than once in your reflect downtime 4head

modern brook
#

PF is ez af until your group decides to lose a collective 40 iq and burn 23 minutes on lastboss

strong forum
#

Stradama would've been easier prolly if my dps weren't 2 fire mages

#

Having 2 fire mages on PF is so terrible

deft vessel
#

23 minutes?!

strong forum
#

It's actually sooo bad

chilly brook
#

Well no wonder you don't notice shit

strong forum
#

Yup

#

It was a struggle start to finish

modern brook
deft vessel
chilly brook
#

Imagine running with a boomie, DH and WW in PF

#

👀

#

Jk it's not a bad party

undone jacinth
#

does comp matter in pf

sick sentinel
#

so, if i run into this scenario again with inpsiring abomb trash, what do i do, sheep the guy or something?

chilly brook
#

But things definitely don't just disappear from the map like firemages make it

sick sentinel
#

sheep the debuff guy that is

chilly brook
#

I mean....

deft vessel
#

just pull the first pack alone and focus down inspiring lol

chilly brook
#

Ofc it matters you either have a fire mage or you dont

deft vessel
#

you don't need to pull the whole room, though if you do, same advice applies

undone jacinth
#

it’s the patrol that’s probably the issue rather than the first packs

#

I’d hope

deft vessel
#

it's one of the squishy dudes that's the inspired mob, just nuke it and poof

sick sentinel
#

we pulled like normal, just dps was low, standing in everything including tornadoes so

undone jacinth
#

I’m not sure you can entirely blame dps when 10 casts are going off

modern brook
#

Its the inspiring pull hes talking about

#

if dps is low

#

casts will go off

deft vessel
#

I mean, you sort of can, but really that's so excessive I don't really understand how it gets this bad

#

not that many casts

undone jacinth
#

it just doesn’t seem possible

modern brook
#

i mean yeah

sick sentinel
#

they are immune to cc right, that's pummel too?

undone jacinth
#

no matter what

deft vessel
#

if you leave the inspiring mobs then yeah

undone jacinth
#

it’s definitely the packs in the room you are talking about and not the patrol with the abom and two guys?

chilly brook
deft vessel
#

the inspiring mob itself is not immune to CC so stun (so it doesn't jump) or root with spear, burst down

sick sentinel
#

well, i'm not entirely sure how it all went to hell, but it did.

sick sentinel
#

my stance is incompetent group, but i mean......

undone jacinth
#

you should log

chilly brook
#

Didnt even get to pad because it's not even a prideful key

modern brook
#

did u pull verything 1 pack at a time?

chilly brook
#

Yep

modern brook
#

There u go

sick sentinel
#

i'm getting a 500 gb ssd, and i might get more storage, would allow me to save video of runs

chilly brook
#

It was a 6 SD lmao

deft vessel
modern brook
#

Lmao

chilly brook
#

Literally I swear people 15 ilvl higher are just allergic to doing good numbers

modern brook
#

SD is actually sucha good dungeon for outlaw tbh

#

a little ass w/ storming though

#

check your talents btw

deft vessel
#

it's fiiiine

#

with storming

modern brook
#

MA+KS is pulling ahead of Celerity+BS now

deft vessel
#

worse with necrotic/tyrannical and even that's fine

chilly brook
#

Cuz I've seen plenty of people in 210-215 who struggle to do 4.5k

deft vessel
#

they bad?

#

I dunno

chilly brook
undone jacinth
#

there’s ppl in here who are 215 who literally don’t cast spells

#

can’t really compare yourself to the average

deft vessel
#

me war, me no have spells

sick sentinel
modern brook
#

There was a bug in the APL causing BS to flurry which was making it over perform

sick sentinel
#

ordered this comes in few days

deft vessel
#

just stream @sick sentinel , twitch will keep the runs for you

sick sentinel
#

i'm not stream friendly kinda person, haha

#

i'd get banned in about 4 days probably

chilly brook
deft vessel
#

I streamed some dos 15 attempts the other day, was after a long day of work, downright ashamed of how shit I was lul, didn't time anyway, timed the day after

modern brook
#

yeah

#

Blade ruSh

chilly brook
modern brook
#

honestly gj though

#

4.5 overall is actually thicc

deft vessel
#

quite

modern brook
#

on a good run i hit like 5 and change at 214

chilly brook
#

Literally every day that passes I just feel like saying "yea fuck tanking"

daring robin
#

Quick question, i play all tank specs (all at 200ilvl now) but with prot warrior i just CANNOT hold threat on a pack, i have no chance

chilly brook
#

You're not playing properly or you just have big blasters

undone jacinth
#

Ravager

chilly brook
#

My money is on the first

daring robin
#

i charge in, shield slam - thunder clap - revenge

chilly brook
#

Avatar?

daring robin
#

and they get ripped off of me

chilly brook
#

Ravager?

undone jacinth
#

ravager

chilly brook
#

Spear?

modern brook
#

demo

deft vessel
#

I haven't had much threat issues, at the start of a pull perhaps until second GCD sure, but while you are fighting mobs actively, in melee range, you are having threat issues?

daring robin
#

once they're up yes, and i'm also retarded and am venthyr

undone jacinth
#

it’s ravager

sick sentinel
#

early ravager is a strong play

modern brook
#

avatar-charge-demo-ss-block-clap-revenge

#

ravager if its up after block or before slam

undone jacinth
#

ravager always

deft vessel
#

and even the whole "2nd gcd" thing is not much of an issue unless you're with a bursty dps

sick sentinel
#

drop ravager early let it do its thing get rage for u

undone jacinth
#

every person who asks this question isn’t prepulling ravager

#

I guarantee it

modern brook
#

I dont prepull ravager and i have no problem holding aggro tbh

daring robin
#

i usually dont drop ravager before charging in, no

modern brook
#

that is to say i think theres more to it than that

chilly brook
#

It can help

daring robin
#

usually after my first revenge

sick sentinel
#

don't forget also, that by using heroic leap, it resets your taunt CD so you could go taunt, attack, leap taunt

undone jacinth
#

it’s just free threat free rage etc

chilly brook
#

Theres no reason to not drop ravager before you charge

undone jacinth
#

if you’re struggling it’s what will push you over the edge

modern brook
#

yeah its def a thing you should do dont get me wrong

undone jacinth
#

waiting 2gcds or whatever to do dmg is always gonna be bad

sick sentinel
#

no, not before you charge, but still early on

modern brook
#

but i dont think its the deciding factor in "how we hold aggro"

undone jacinth
#

before you charge yes

chilly brook
#

It probably won't be

chilly brook
daring robin
#

but still it doesnt seem to generate much threat

chilly brook
#

Charge isn't on the GCD

daring robin
#

it does damage sure but not alot of threat, revenge is the only one that actually generates SOME threat

sick sentinel
#

avatar or spear

undone jacinth
#

??

modern brook
#

thats uhhh

#

not how threat works

chilly brook
#

Damage is threat my man

undone jacinth
#

da fook..

#

threat is a damage multiplier

sick sentinel
#

mid charge bis is avatar

chilly brook
#

You can still hit avatar mid charge

modern brook
chilly brook
modern brook
#

you're thinking of bfa lol

undone jacinth
#

you ravager pre charge to free up a gcd and because it’s just overall better at everything

#

including ensuring it’s off cd for your next pull

I mean, at least my DHs name makes sense.

its an anagram of my warriors name!

undone jacinth
#

I don’t watch anime

chilly brook
#

Too bad you dont play it for your group to benefit from chaos brand

uneven mason
#

I mentioned that and the healers all screamed

#

also so did the melee DPS

#

but mostly the healers

#

Prior to the guild reforming we had a DH tank

#

and uh, they like having a tank that doesn't look like they're going to turn inside out when a mouse farts

chilly brook
#

Dh is solid tho

strong forum
#

cries in vdh and 2 havoc dhs in raid

#

But 1 havoc is rerolling dk yep

chilly brook
#

We have 2 havocs

#

1 is trying to reroll to mm

undone jacinth
#

not seen a havoc in ages

#

when your raids have more ferals than havocs

#

what a world

#

also our logs right now are literally split in half with all the ranges at the top and all the melee at the bottom with like 1 melee competing with the worst ranged.. idk if that’s the same for all

#

prog seems pretty brutal for melee

strong forum
#

If you have wws and dks they should be close to top 5

#

🤔

chilly brook
#

Prog doesnt seem that bad for melee tbh

undone jacinth
#

I know ideally they are but they seem to lose way more on prog

#

idk if it’s possible to see prog logs only

modern brook
#

THe meteres are generally mage-> hunter hunter boomie->me ->garbo melee dps

undone jacinth
#

we just got 3 warlocks who are untouchable

strong forum
#

Idk why prog should be any different from farm except people know what to do a bit better

modern brook
#

fight timer, mostly :/

chilly brook
#

This tier is just favorable for classes that have like 2 minute burst damage

undone jacinth
#

prog logs always different to farm

chilly brook
#

Because so many intermissions

#

Hunter sustained single target isn't that amazing

#

But their CDs line up so well with so many of the harder fights that they're super desirable

sturdy sable
#

Still better than every melee tho

chilly brook
#

Plus ranged and immunities

#

No not better than every melee

#

Lol

#

WW and Unholy are better DPS

sturdy sable
#

That whole package you just described

chilly brook
#

By a significant margin

sturdy sable
#

Is better than any melee

undone jacinth
#

again you’re just talking target dummy

chilly brook
#

Again UH is a far better DPS

#

Even with them not having a pure immunity

#

AMS/AMZ/Icy Fort/Death Strike/Deaths Advance

#

Literally UH is absolutely nuts

#

Oh you need to clear traps? Lemme pop Icy and clear them

sturdy sable
#

Yeah but like a hunter could do that faster and safer

chilly brook
#

Oh theres a movement mechanic? Lemme just pop deaths advance and ignore it

strong forum
#

Uhdk is stupid this tier

sturdy sable
#

A hunter could run seed

strong forum
#

It's so insane

chilly brook
#

This is something that Max even talked about in regards to this tier

strong forum
#

They're so fucking stupidly strong, ams amz grip and deaths advance all important buttons

chilly brook
#

UH just does everything

strong forum
#

On almost every boss

chilly brook
#

And they dont die

strong forum
#

But hey, reflect was too strong

sturdy sable
#

So was the booty claps

ocean yoke
#

im still upset at not being able to reflect inervas dot

#

they tease us by letting it still do it to the trash before

strong forum
#

A hunter cant clear traps without wasting his immunity

#

A dk can just pop ams

#

Every minute, or IBF like or twice a fight

undone jacinth
#

they are good at different things, it’s a dumb comparison

strong forum
#

Yes but it was specifically meant vs traps

uneven mason
#

hunter do seeds!

undone jacinth
#

and there is no comparison

#

DK is good at traps Hunter isn’t

#

Hunter is good at seeds DK isn’t

strong forum
#

Yes

uneven mason
#

they're both fine at traps, hunter just has to use their major CD while a DK can use a fast reuse AMS

undone jacinth
#

exactly, so they aren’t both fine

#

in a fight where immunities are insane

uneven mason
#

but yeah, mythic bosses have like 66% armor iirc

undone jacinth
#

doesn’t matter

strong forum
#

Wha

uneven mason
#

its the primary reason why classes that rely on physical hits are hurting

undone jacinth
#

they aren’t

#

ww js insane

#

feral is insane

uneven mason
#

WW might be overtuned

#

Feral uses bleeds

undone jacinth
#

ferals dmg comes from bite

lavish oracle
#

I mean, looking at logs, warrior Isn't too far behind UHDK after the last buff except on pure ST fights

uneven mason
#

uhlol

undone jacinth
#

melee are perfectly fine on target dummies, the issue is with mechanics

uneven mason
#

maybe a50% UDK vs a 99% Fury

undone jacinth
#

not dps

chilly brook
undone jacinth
#

melee have a harder time realising the dmg

lavish oracle
#

Nah, 95% overall over the last 24 hours

chilly brook
#

Anything where fury can cleave their targets they're nuts

uneven mason
#

Fury's ST sustain is absolute garbage

#

its still garbage

chilly brook
#

Their problem is their single target

lavish oracle
#

That is what I said

uneven mason
#

yeah, so, where it counts in raiding

lavish oracle
#

There's a lot of cleave fights this tier

uneven mason
#

but the strong ST classes are also strong cleave

#

so

chilly brook
#

I'm still considering just playing fury over rogue just simply because warriors are actually in demand

uneven mason
#

why bring a spec that is good for 30% of a fight.

chilly brook
#

Cuz shout and rally

lavish oracle
#

I'd play fury just because they have actual raid utility

undone jacinth
#

because that 30% still matters even if the argument is a simplistic one

#

if it means they perform high overall then it’s worth

uneven mason
#

right but you're hurting yourself when you could bring in another spec that is good for 100% of the fight?

undone jacinth
#

ww boss damage on sire is dogshit but they are still the highest dps overall

#

there isn’t a 100% good spec that isn’t affliction

chilly brook
#

Fire?

undone jacinth
#

every spec has a weakness

#

fire is bad outside of burst obviously

chilly brook
#

Well that's kinda how they work

undone jacinth
#

it’d sustained damage isn’t broken

#

yes and how they work is relevant

chilly brook
#

But that doesnt make it a bad class for every fight

undone jacinth
#

I’m not saying it’s a bad class for any fight?

chilly brook
#

If it's not bad for every fight then it's a 100% good spec

undone jacinth
#

what the fuck lmao

lavish oracle
#

Anyways, I think Fury somehow managed to pull it's way into like 3rd best melee this tier from the very bottom of the charts

chilly brook
#

There isn't a fight in the raid where I wouldn't want a fire mage

undone jacinth
#

ok..

#

4th best melee maybe because competition is weak

#

ww feral unholy all above imo

chilly brook
#

Also unholy is basically 100% good too

uneven mason
#

I mean if ou ignore UDK, Feral, Outlaw, FrostDK, Enhance, and now, HDH

#

sure 3rd best melee

undone jacinth
#

you have a strange ranking

lavish oracle
#

Yeah, I don't think you bring more than one DPS warrior still, but it's a pretty dramatic improvement

uneven mason
#

thats not ranking

#

just classes above fury, WW and ret are not listed

#

so pick any from that list

lavish oracle
#

Lol, why are enhance and frost up there?

undone jacinth
#

above fury in what

#

nobody even plays frost...

uneven mason
#

because they're actually above fury still

undone jacinth
#

above how

uneven mason
undone jacinth
#

better how

uneven mason
#

ST damage

undone jacinth
#

...

uneven mason
#

...

undone jacinth
#

LMAO

uneven mason
#

no matter how much you pound on the "BUT CLEAVE MATTERS TOO"

#

you're not going to favor the spec that is absolute shit for a big chunk of a fight

#

fury has its niche, its extremely strong in M+

chilly brook
lavish oracle
#

You picked a pure ST fight

uneven mason
#

no shit

#

That was the only point I was making

lavish oracle
#

We literally already said fury ST is dogshit, lol

novel ruin
#

@sweet summit I wanted to stop by and wish you well. Hope you haven’t died to the Maw yet

undone jacinth
#

why don’t you pick the relevant fights in the tier like slg and Denny and tell me how enhance or frost are doing on those

sweet summit
#

@novel ruin hello catman ive died in the maw many times 😔 , how's the bear life?

vague jetty
#

Is sludge really that inconsequential?

undone jacinth
#

no but the others are obviously the big ones

uneven mason
#

So, my point was Fury has crap ST damage

lavish oracle
#

It's one of like 3 relevant bosses

undone jacinth
#

sludge is clearly a st burst fight exclusively

uneven mason
#

and folks are like "BUT LINK THE CLEAVE FIGHTS!"

vague jetty
#

Idk about after the nerfs but most people acknowledged sludge being harder than denathrius

uneven mason
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

vague jetty
#

Before the nerfs

chilly brook
#

I mean considering how much time Sludge took the top guilds.....

novel ruin
chilly brook
#

And SLG was just dumb broken

vague jetty
#

Yea

chilly brook
#

Kinda still is

lavish oracle
#

Well you said Fury St Is bad and we said 'yeah, we know, luckily most this tier is cleave' and you said frost and enh were better than fury

#

Without explaining that you meant pure ST

vague jetty
#

Well, comparing dps meters to say one spec is better or not is kind of....pointless

undone jacinth
#

Aza said that fury are competitive for 3rd spot and I said 4th, then u made it a st dps race

#

somehow

sweet summit
vague jetty
#

I want a baer

#

Can I please has baer

lavish oracle
#

@vague jetty Fury also brings rally + battle shout so it's pretty much set on the raid utility front

novel ruin
undone jacinth
#

yeah that’s another reason you see more than 0 of them killing denathrius

#

quoting parses isn’t as easy when nobody playing the spec has been able to clear the tier

vague jetty
#

Well

#

You are not admitting one point

#

The power level between uh and frost is huge

chilly brook
#

I really might end up going fury tbh at this point

vague jetty
#

Not saying frost is good in any way

chilly brook
#

Fuck

vague jetty
#

But

chilly brook
#

I don't wanna grind renown again

vague jetty
#

Go glad spec

#

Easy solution

chilly brook
lavish oracle
#

Like, Warrior is still an auto include for most rosters so if you can get that one spot you're set 😄

uneven mason
#

That would be the issue, rather include a prot warrior any day (regardless if its my favorite spec) and a VDH over a HDH and FUry warrior, because its way better to use the DPS spots for DPS that are not ♿

#

But like I told my guild - if everyone would just play specs that deal magic damage, we wouldn't need a monk or warrior!

chilly brook
#

I mean

undone jacinth
chilly brook
#

Warrior overall isn't that great

uneven mason
#

Prot is great

vague jetty
#

Can we just have tdev back so we can ignore this conversation and run 20 vdh

uneven mason
#

not OP

#

just great.

chilly brook
#

But their "burst" is up so often it coincides well with the fights

#

I mean warriors overall dps

uneven mason
#

yeah

chilly brook
#

Plus condemn is bonkers in execute

uneven mason
#

condemn bonkers for 55% of a fight

#

even with condemn being bonkers

#

you're going to be way behind nearly every spec

#

DURING condemn

lavish oracle
#

You're not

undone jacinth
#

you are clueless sorry

lavish oracle
#

That's provably false, the logs are literally there

#

Either way, limit killed almost every boss with 2 warriors, so you're not exactly shooting yourself in the foot by playing one

heady plaza
#

Which is worse in your opinions. Venthyr prot or kyrian arms/fury for pve

lavish oracle
#

And they were using arms which at this point is just worse than fury

chilly brook
#

Echo as well had a dps warrior for most of it

#

Because rev is just dummy good on his warrior or w/e his name is

lavish oracle
#

I like Kyrian Fury in dungeons but it does hit like a wet noodle in ST, haha

chilly brook
uneven mason
heady plaza
#

I play them equally

uneven mason
#

Regardless, condemn isn't going to magically make your ST burst stronk

heady plaza
#

I raid arms and m+ prot

chilly brook
#

Ok

#

Which content do you care about more

uneven mason
#

But, at least you won't feel like a limp fish

heady plaza
#

They are equal lol

#

Rhats why im asking

#

I'm just curious if there's statistics or whatever showing the differences between each

chilly brook
#

And I'm asking because it's relevant to the answer

heady plaza
#

I understand

lavish oracle
#

Top ranked warrior is Venthyr in M+

chilly brook
#

Like are you in a CE guild? What's your goal? KSM, pushing high keys? Which one is more important

uneven mason
#

for prot, altho that has more todo with that team than covenant

heady plaza
#

They are equally important

uneven mason
#

flip side, there are Kyrian and NF warriors in the top 20 for raid DPS

#

so

heady plaza
#

If they weren't equally important id know the answer

uneven mason
#

to answer your question - play the covenant you like?

#

(except necrolord)

chilly brook
#

I'd argue if you dont have intent to push 20 keys and you have CE aspirations then raid is the more important one but eh w/e

deft vessel
#

I mean, play necrolord if you really like it, but it's quite underwhelming

heady plaza
#

So from the answers I'm getting, the difference between venthhr prot and kyrian arms is negligible

uneven mason
#

correct

heady plaza
#

Mmk

#

Good to know

uneven mason
#

Venthyr for prot actually has some really strong tanking conduits

#

general is badass

timber lagoon
#

That's what I'm rocking

lavish oracle
#

Kyrian Arms is also sick in PvP if that matters at all 😄

heady plaza
#

But so is venthyr arms

uneven mason
#

the only weak point is Kyrian and NF really give us some massive AE Burst for threat when tanking M+

timber lagoon
#

Just shooting to get KSM so I'm fine as venthyr

heady plaza
#

I do pvp and more people are switching to venthyr arms in arena

uneven mason
#

I loved doing Venthyr arms

#

Door of shadows as a AE disorent

#

really messes with people in arena

probably mastery sims

1% crit block chance isnt it

ur using it for the crit block anyways

no, just tornadoe guys too is if someone not paying attention they have to run back, huge time loss

undone jacinth
#

huh

sick sentinel
#

and group will brick if no disease removal/kick

undone jacinth
#

you have a kick..

sick sentinel
#

pummel on the -20% dmg thing

#

abombs

undone jacinth
#

yea?

#

you pummel the withering discharge

#

which is casted by the small leaper guys...

#

you can interrupt every one yourself

sick sentinel
#

i set it up to play a sound whenever they are casting that shit anyways

#

and got potions to remove it

undone jacinth
#

you dont want to be potioning it

#

the rest of your group wont be doing that

#

you need to kick it

chilly brook
#

Discharge is far more important than the shield

#

Discharge will kill you

sick sentinel
#

well, if its a shaman healer, which alot are, i don't think they can hit diseases

chilly brook
#

Meat shield just keeps you there for an extra few seconds

undone jacinth
#

even if they can it doesnt matter

#

they cant dispel 5 people

chilly brook
#

If anything

#

The healer should be interrupting too

#

Cuz shaman

sick sentinel
#

we had a DH with a brain in this group, still low keys but i mean, if im screwing up on 5 stacking that debuff, clearly aint learned enough to go into 14s

#

have to run them till i can time it everytime

chilly brook
#

If you have 5 stacks of that debuff you're standing in the swirly when they died

undone jacinth
#

if you have 1 stack of the debuff you have probably messed up

chilly brook
#

Also those things are a lot simpler when ranged stack on melee

#

So they dont leap 30 yards away and start their stupid cast

high folio
#

how big of a deal is it if i dont craft the wall using the shoulders

open monolith
#

does weapon DPS actually factor in to anything other than white hits nowadays?

#

All of the formulas on Wowhead just say "%of attack power"

stark sage
#

its part of the AP formula, it goes into basically every ability

open monolith
#

ooooh, so there is a formula hidden within the attack power

stark sage
#

ye

open monolith
#

is there anywhere that I can actually see that?

stark sage
#

probably

open monolith
#

I'm trying to win an argument

sick sentinel
#

@high folio the difference is the armor from shoulder compared to other slot, possibly stats?

sweet summit
#

ap is just strength+(mastery for tanks)+Ap shout+weapon stones

brittle owl

hello is warrior still a meme

sweet summit
#

yes

just checkong

I'm talking specifically about "Attack Power" in relation to ability formulas

brittle owl
#

i*

sweet summit
#

ya that is attack power

open monolith
#

they say they deal % of attack power, but that attack power is apparently a separate formula that factors in weapon DPS

high folio
sweet summit
#

thats not what mwahi told me :(

stark sage
#

@open monolith this is how it was in BFA, there's variance added now, i cant find the current formula, but it'll look similar to this
(Attack Power + Weapon DPS * 6) * AP Coefficient * Damage Multiplier

undone jacinth
#

weapon dps defo effects ap

#

its a dps metric xd

sick sentinel
#

my shoulders r4 costed me 22k i think

high folio
#

the 235 piece is 21.8k but im 2-3 weeks worth of ash away from being able to make it

stark sage
#

the 6 in this example formula is a constant, and is very likely different now

sick sentinel

you can go from rank 0 to rank 4 if u have enough SA too

#

just need to buy 1 item only and ur misives

high folio

i know, i just wanted to get this leggo made for a build i want to do rather then having to wait 2 more weeks to farm up ash

it was 80k yesterday

I'll do it depending

But also normally rank 2 is good enough for me

Until rank 4

uneven mason

I had made my wall a cloak

because it was an offspec at first.

and the cloaks were like 5k

vs 40k

redid it at shoulders

hence - rank 3

I've made some rank 3s. But Im impatient and dont really care about gold

On one toon I have two rank 3s. Cause I dont want to wait for rank 4s when my legendaries are already some of my lowest ilvl pieces

I get enough gold either from gullible guildies or from carrys

hey guys.!

Hello gamer

lavish thorn

please tell me, what dps shall be comfortable to pass 14-15? overall, per damager

like 4.5?

#

or is that not good enough

jagged pier
#

like 3 - 3.7k

#

we dont do much damage

#

you can get to 4.5k in NW tho

lavish thorn
#

so if we demonstrate more and struggle to pass it means we act inappropriately

undone jacinth
#

you can be doing 2.5k

#

and be fine

#

in that key level

#

as tank

lavish thorn
#

ah

mighty valley
#

are you asking about your dps? or the actual DPS members' dps?

lavish thorn

I meant your experience

from dps members

#

what u normally see

#

in such keys

undone jacinth
#

oh right sorry

#

4.5k is like probably about right

mighty valley
#

yeah, it's ok, not huuuuge

#

overall dps changes based on a lot of things, like how you're pulling etc

lavish thorn

I deliver like 4-5k, depends. as arms. considering taking, cause my damagers look not strong enough

well thanks a lot

I will look for the ways to increase the group dps

the faction war is entirely unnecessary

And no double pulls

Plus I still make rotational mistakes

I enjoy raidleading and it’s just hard to do that when you’re playing anything other than tank

But realistically I'm hard considering just swapping

So I enjoy the benefits of having braindead mechanics

How ranged sets you up for best success for raid leading

they are playing at a different level than anyone else

its just complete bs

ranged have most braindead mechanics

like hungerings model

I don’t know if capable is the word I’d use, I think the type of people who elect to tank generally have more confidence and leadership skill.

classic has such a good vibe just wasnt the same not playing with like 10 mates or whatever

trying to imagine someone saying that in vanilla lmao

Make your own guild hippo

the magic of vanilla was... not knowing shit. Not knowing exactly what was optimal. Not knowing every mechanic. Not having sims.

that magic is long gone.

Literally got into an argument about Fury being #1 DPS

undone jacinth

yeah sock

and also social

there werent really good online social channels available

so it was a massive social experience

like playing with all your mates

Yep. Classic doesn't recapture what made vanilla fun.

The journey of hitting level cap in classic is most of the fun imo

I've been cheating on prot warrior

I had been struggling so hard to get even a +15 done on time (with this guild I joined who are mostly okayish at best players)

like I was so confused, we're all geared, we know the shit, what is going on?

#

and then I started clearing 15s on a 197 ilvl holy pally

#

oh.

#

We didn't have any good healers LOL

undone jacinth
#

maybe it was the tank... 😉

open monolith
#

lol

man I was doing the pulls right, not getting hit, pressing muh buttons

#

DPS was constantly dying... stopped as soon as I started healing

#

Tbh healing does feel better

#

If only because you’re more in control than the tank is

#

For the most part

undone jacinth
#

holy pala super fun imo

#

all pala fun

#

just slow af

heavy sail
#

As long as the tank is following an extremely basic route and doing the minimum

#

Healers control pretty much everything

undone jacinth
#

hm idk about that

#

routing is everything really

heavy sail
#

I would agree past like 15+

#

But I think it’s important, but less so, than throughput at lower keys

#

Because you can heal through most everything up to that point

undone jacinth
#

well you cant really do good routes lower yeah

heavy sail
#

As long as everyone is doing mechanics

undone jacinth
#

but then I feel like you just carry anyway

maybe not as prot 😛

I considered making my own guild in classic but the new EQ TLP had just opened up so I made one there instead for the first bit

Most of them eventually quit or moved to SL though so we officially disbanded the guild

Since they have Holly Longdale there will be a WOTLK

I feel like MoP is such an underrated expansion, or was

I guess people view it more favorably now

I didn't play MoP or WoD

I didn’t play WoD/Cata/BfA

WoD was ok

but the lack of content irked me

Just logged out, canceled sub

No content.

I mean the content that was there was decent

uneven mason

I mythic raided for the first half, got booted from my mythic team when I requested to swap back to Fury warrior (since they had fixed it) over Resto Shaman

It just felt like they released it turbo unfinished and never actually fixed it

uneven mason
#

they put too many resources into Garrisons

open monolith
#

Look. All I'm saying is the only game I would play a TRUE classic server of, is RIFT (not the bullshit "prime" server they put out recently)

chilly brook
#

WoD for all the crap it got had some pretty good class designs imo

and then stripped half the team at launch to work on Legion

rather than contiuing to make content for WoD

They didnt know how to support them after launch tho

That was their problem

uneven mason
#

Trion gave in to to many complaints

heavy sail
#

That’s how it felt for sure.

uneven mason
#

tried to balance shit

#

rather than just letting things sort itself out

heavy sail
#

Like they just released WoD and then immediately started working on legion lol

#

Wasnt WoD only like 16 months long or some shit

open monolith
#

watch the "death of a game" series about RIFT

uneven mason
#

they were working on legion before WOD was released

open monolith
#

pretty eye opening, and sad

#

PUT CHLOROMANCER IN WOW

#

(...and bard)

#

okay bye

uneven mason
#

it was Metzen's final hurrah

#

basically the core story of Warcraft was brought to a conclusion with Legion

midnight stone
#

They're working on every xpac before the "next" one launches

uneven mason
#

which is why it stands out.

#

Yeah that is true

open monolith
#

I can't wait for "World of Warcraft: Rise of the Void Lords"

uneven mason
#

but with the WOD/Legion mess they hired a ton of new people and didn't train them then basically pushed more resources into Legion rather than taking the time to flesh out WoD, hence the term "that'll cost you a raid tier" because they admitted in interview - Garrisons cost WoD a 3rd raid tier.

undone jacinth

wod was dope tbh

I liked WoD conceptually more than BfA

undone jacinth

liked it

just wasnt much of it
