@ionic fern Is this like really really really strong as i think ?

outer solstice
#

what's it called?

fallen rose
outer solstice
#

for M+ it is @dusty yacht

uneven mason
#

@ionic fern does it work for fury if they intervene does revenge reduce slam to 0?

outer solstice
#

@vestal totem you kill in PvP with burst, not consistency

uneven mason
#

I mean

#

condemn is pretty damn bursty during avatar

lavish raptor
#

Kyrian is not the best for pvp

#

Thrre are so many defensices that break spear of bastions tether

outer solstice
#

yeah but bladestorm, unhinged and no escape is pretty strong

uneven mason
#

course if you want burst, NF will chunk someone from 40% to dead if it crits.

#

AA pretty insane.

@chilly brook can you link me that one WA you tested yesterday?

#

@outer solstice @ionic fern You got like almost 100% uptime on mitig right ?

You think in m+ we can come back to anger managment ?

shut summit

prolly

outer solstice
#

I already do xD

fallen rose
#

it will be easier i to have that up time in actual content as you can intervene allies in melee for a free SB

outer solstice
#

but somehow I think bolster + sismic is more dmg

signal plover
#

Than AM+seismic?

#

Or than AM+reprisal

uneven mason
#

wat

outer solstice
#

AM + seismic will hurt hard

signal plover

Coward

amber herald
#

you can play AM and seismic now

if you want to

Yes of course. It's the best way to get your healer used to the chaos

yup

oooph, probably shield tbh. I'll leave that to the experts to pick for you though! I'm a pleb.

strange lintel

can i use my haste mastery fury set set with a prot warrior and be good ?

coarse kestrel
#

probably!

#

Like without any vers you're taking... not that much more dmg than someone who's been focusing vers/haste

jagged pier
#

if u have haste youll be fine

signal plover

Ppl gotta snap outta this vers madness

strange lintel
#

my fury gear is also higher ilvl lol

There's no corruption anymore

quick question about gems

i have a noob question, what does the block value of shields adds to ?, is it block chance ? block ammount ? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

strange lintel
#

wouldnt that be great? or im just looking through shitty pink tinted glasses

jagged pier
#

where are thos from?

#

if its old expansions

#

cant be in new gear

strange lintel
#

shattered halls old expancion

#

yeah you can put em on current content slots

jagged pier
#

the % the damage is reduced

jagged pier
strange lintel
#

just wondering

#

i have a dk friend thats just gemming all his gear with that lol

remote hawk
#

In the patch now when repraisal comes. I already got 220 pants and crafted my TL leggo on my boots in the beginning. Would it just be better for me to craft reprasial on the boots and take that loss in stats instead of crafting the pants and going from 225 TL boots to 197 boots instead ?

uneven mason
uneven mason
remote hawk
#

Ty ty ! That was what i was thinking was most logical but just wanted to make sure ^^

uneven mason
#

Yeah, doesn't make sense to sacrifice that much ilvl

bleak plaza
#

so im looking through spreadsheet for blocks and reflects and for the ones that you can block, is it worth it to do both on?

#

assuming the reflect is just a deflect

uneven mason
#

reducing damage you say?

#

WHy would you want to do that.

#

Think of your poor healers parse.

bleak plaza
#

i main warlock and keep burning rush on 100% of the runs

#

but im curious about this specific scenario for the healers parse

#

but like soulcrusher from meuhzala is deflected and blocked and is only mdmg so if i just block it is it still stopping the mdmg?

jagged pier
#

well its magic so block will do nothing with soulcrusher

junior pebble
#

Got the stamina organ at 226, kinda fun having a lot of hp I guess.

jagged pier
#

i would just vendor that tbh

junior pebble
#

It was such a high ilvl over my other trinket it doesn't take much justifying

jagged pier
#

what is your other trinket?

junior pebble
#

Like a 203 codex

surreal nest
#

no wait

jagged pier
#

cause ilvl doesnt mean much on trinkets

#

codex is probably better

bleak plaza
#

the spreadsheet is saying that the initial hit is blockable

jagged pier
#

i dunno never had it

junior pebble
#

For m+ organ seems pretty solid, 10k heal on a 20 second cd doesn't seem worthless. More with crits

uneven mason
jagged pier
#

soulcrushers damage comes from the dot tho

uneven mason
#

wellthen Spell_Reflection

jagged pier
#

that was my point

merry bane
#

do any of you guys use simcraft and pawn to help balance your gear?

final cedar
#

is sephuz good for damage in m+? I saw Naow running it in MDI, wondering if its good for us too.

merry bane
#

because I did and it stripped alot of my haste gear off and idk if thats good

jagged pier
brittle owl
#

this is like the 3rd expansion in a row where people understand that pawn is shit

#

maybe 4th even

merry bane
#

Well I never used it until now

jagged pier
#

look its easy for armour

#

is it a higher ilvl

#

take it

#

if its the same ilvl

#

which has more haste

merry bane
#

so ilevel or secendary stats

jagged pier
#

ilvl everytime

brittle owl
#

more stats > better stats

mossy sluice
#

theres an argument for jewelry on ilvl vs secondaries

jagged pier
#

10-15 ilvls

brittle owl
#

on jewelery sure

merry bane
#

well I am sitting at 36% mastery 5% haste but with a higher ilevel

brittle owl
#

feelcraft your way

#

they only have stam and secondaries

#

so you can drop ilvl on them

#

most people drop 10-20 ilvls on rings depending on "feel"

#

...or sim dps Target

merry bane
#

well I was thinking it would sim better survivability based on the custom stat weights I put in from icy veins

brittle owl
#

you can't sim survivability

#

since it's not a constant equation

mossy sluice
brittle owl
#

even if it were, people with experience are fine even when they hit 5% hp, new players clench their cheeks when they drop below 50%

merry bane
#

so then how should I set my gear up then? I have alot of pieces to play with. I did a hybrid of haste and vers

mossy sluice
#

as much haste as possible w/o sacrificing ilvl

surreal nest
#

why even gear for survivability? we are playing warrior, gear crit haste and pop avatar and spam revenge my dude

merry bane
#

LOL

mossy sluice
#

big 2k revenges

merry bane
#

I do have a DPS set crit and haste >.<

surreal nest
#

if you die link dps and say "i would like to see a DH maintain a hard 1.7k dps like me, noob healer"

brittle owl
#

pรผmp

jagged pier
#

on armour u only care about the stats if u have 2 x 226 pieces and have to compare otherwise u just equip the highest i lvl

#

its better 100% of the time

brittle owl
#

mobs can't hurt you if you're dead

bleak plaza
#

ok so if you block it then the dot means nothing

brittle owl
#

wait

surreal nest
#

now we are theorycrafting

brittle owl
#

meant to day they're dead*

#

but both work

mossy sluice
#

the dot still fucks

jagged pier
ebon hound
bleak plaza
#

the dot is based off the dmg taken though?

mossy sluice
#

yeah but its sketchy

bleak plaza
#

so blocking stops the dmg taken from the physical

jagged pier
#

but you can just SR and not get the dot ๐Ÿคท

mossy sluice
#

think you can only sr every other one

bleak plaza
#

well id rather block to stop dmg from the initial and the dot

#

and save SR for if i need it

mossy sluice
#

what are you saving sr for

jagged pier
#

u dont need it anywhere else in the fight tho

bleak plaza
#

if blocks down

merry bane
#

so higher ilevel regardless of secondary stats unless the pieces are the same ilevel

bleak plaza
#

and the dot would actually be doing dmg

mossy sluice
#

you can block that hit all you want but you're gonna get trucked

bleak plaza
#

i guess im confused on the interaction then

jagged pier
#

the dot still fuks u regardless of how much of the inital damage you block

bleak plaza
#

btw im swapping from healer to tank so im not fully aware of these yet

bleak plaza
#

because the way it seems to me is that you get hit by a physical damage tank buster that will leave a dot to do the same amount of damage

mossy sluice
#

yeah

#

block isnt 100% mitigation

bleak plaza
#

i should ask this i guess

#

yup thats where im confused

#

gotcha

#

block is only reducing by block value right?

#

so for me my block is 26

mossy sluice
#

Generally its tied to the ilvl of your shield

brittle owl
#

flat 30%+block value

#

which is tied to shield ilvl

bleak plaza
#

so SB gives me 100% chance to block i guess 56%

brittle owl
#

you can also critblock

#

80%

bleak plaza
#

gotcha alright thats where ive been confused then

north coral
#

does bop + challenging shout combo work in raids? keeping aggro on your self while immune?

bleak plaza
#

i just kind of assumed it was blocking all physical since i havent played a shield tank before

uneven mason
#

caps at 85%

#

iirc

brittle owl
#

somewhere around that value

mossy sluice
#

yeah it's not like PoE. it just deflects a % of phys damage you would of taken

uneven mason
#

Block used to enable you to reduce damage to 0

#

But that was a bygone era

bleak plaza
#

well that clears things up a bunch

#

thanks guys

shell hare
#

to whoever was talking about mitigation the other day, ilvl 226 shield is about 39.5%

mighty cairn
#

with no prot vault upgrades, is it worth taking another 226 1h for fury or 226 IQD?

uneven mason
#

waht trinkets do you have?

#

IQD is an odd animl

#

Its situationally useful

#

but you gotta get the WA to know when that is.

#

But if you fury a lot

#

I'd take the 1h

mighty cairn
#

I have a 220 SLH and 226 hakkar scale currently

#

i haven't really played warrior pve at all yet, but might dabble in night fae fury before switching to necro in 9.0.5 i think

uneven mason
#

since you're basically wearing BiS trinkets

mighty cairn
#

2 226 1hs are better than 220 2hs for fury right? unfortunately I know nothing about the spec

uneven mason
#

yes

#

TG is only about 1-2% ahead

#

you'll always go with highest ilvl

#

for weapons.

mighty cairn
#

ah kk makes sense - thanks! time to learn how to use a sim and do a dps rotation

#

NF fury in keys looks like a fun break from tanking

dark lark
#

Is there a way to reliably get Orphyrion (Spires 3rd boss) to reliably go into intermission phase sooner rather than later? Just ripped a 19 tyr because he decided to drop a 3rd of ordnances instead of having his spell queue do blasts or stomps, and then immediately go into intermission after that. He did that two pulls in a row and then on the third pull he didn't. I haven't changed the way I position or tank him but I had never seen a 3rd set of ordnances until last night.

mossy sluice
#

are you max melee range

#

he won't stomp if you're out of range

dark lark
#

Do I want stomps?

mossy sluice
#

pretty sure they take mana for him to do

#

or w/e his energy bar is called

dark lark
#

They do, yes.

outer solstice
#

if he's in a puddle

#

he's not using any

dark lark
#

He wasn't in a puddle

outer solstice
#

so get his ass out of the puddle asap

#

did a ball reach him?

dark lark
#

He sat at 30 energy and then dropped a 3rd set of orbs

#

Nope

mossy sluice
#

yeah so if hes not stomping then hes gonna have more mana/anima and pop another ordynance

outer solstice
#

and that as well

#

you want the stomps

dark lark
#

Then on pull 3 he sat at 35 energy, and then did some blasts/stomps and it was fine.

#

Is his stomp range shorter than his melee range?

mossy sluice
#

yeah

outer solstice
#

it's weird

mossy sluice
#

i have to purposefully run into him to get him to do it

outer solstice
#

or have some suicidal melee do it

#

๐Ÿ˜›

dark lark
#

So, once I kite him away from the puddles, I walk closer to him so I'm not at max melee*

#

Because stomp is a shorter range than melee for him?

outer solstice
#

oh wait

uneven mason
wet compass
#

Lol I was depressed about guild dying so I only did one M14 last week

#

but

outer solstice
#

you don't want him to drop more orbs or do you want him to do orbs?

wet compass
dark lark
#

I don't want more orbs.

outer solstice
#

if you want him to not do orbs

dark lark
#

We couldn't soak 15 orbs lol

uneven mason
#

literally tanked the key for us due to him taking another 2min longer to kill because he wouldn't recharge a 2nd time.

outer solstice
#

well that's what dshoo wanted

uneven mason
#

hah

outer solstice
#

recharge is always with orbs

mossy sluice
#

but yeah, just walk into him when you see the stomp timer is up and pop sr

#

and he will stomp

dark lark
#

We want the intermission phase because 1) he takes more damage and 2) we can soak 10 orbs, we can't soak 15 lol

uneven mason
#

yeah just stay at the edge of melee and he won't burn energy

dark lark
#

@uneven mason I want him to burn energy lol

uneven mason
#

I accidentally killed our paladin tho when I went to adjust

#

so he would recharge

#

he stomped

#

but he did a quarter turn for some reason

crisp dragon
#

ermergerd

#

thats pog

#

I need that

chilly brook
#

I just set the opacity for the execute icon to 0 and you can play around with if it only triggers in dungeons etc. I'll probably set it up at some point on my end to only work on bosses by adding all their IDs manually or w/e

dark lark
#

Lmao

chilly brook
#

This is it in action

crisp dragon
#

Upon logging in, it says the file is too old?

dark lark
#

Does it only go on bosses or trash too

chilly brook

Trash but you can change that

In the triggers or conditions

I guess I will just have to accept that my 7k executes will never be epic ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

@chilly brook question my guy. So ATM I run Storm Bolt at 25 & Crackling Thunder at 35. And thats fine, but if reprisal stays how it is, would going Double Time + Bounding strides be better?

chilly brook
#

Wouldn't need double time

#

And imho bounding>crackling always

crisp dragon
#

Even in Dungeons?

chilly brook
#

Yea

crisp dragon
#

The extra slow can be nice

I dont feel the need to leap away very often, but i'm only doing 15/16 so

Obviously when Reprisal comes

chilly brook
#

I can run out of melee range without the extra slow

deep steppe
sweet summit

Bounding feels good

deep steppe
#

i didnt know if that would be better for more reprisal uses or not

crisp dragon
sweet summit
#

feel like that row is prefrence anyway, likely stay that way too

deep steppe
#

But like, atm, I pretty much never /need/ leap when its not up, so i've been using CT

chilly brook
#

Plus crackling is interacting with arguably your least impactful button aka 5 rage the button

crisp dragon
#

I do think leap is nice with ms

#

True, the dps loss button

chilly brook
#

Leap speed boost is nice

#

Big nice

deep steppe
#

so Double Time no, which is good cause i like storm bolt

#

and bounding is a

I just figured some use > "no" use since i dont personally use leap often

If for no other reason than to get to the next mob

Welcome to raiding

The weird thing is

crisp dragon

So I will lose rank with every kill @strong forum because they're slow

chilly brook

So like

It do be like that

Like ok you gotta jump sometimes

The gargoyle in p3 doesnt feel like Heroic, Ill tell you that

heroic w/ jumpin and spoopy ghosts

And you gotta kick a little more

strong forum
#

Trying to RL council as tank is interesting, wathc your stacks, cotank stacks, boss positioning, add spawn, jumps, CDs, kicks

uneven mason
#

IDK feels like it'd be easier to do Freida last even on mythic?

mossy sluice
#

theres a guild who did it as a meme and the movement seems ridiculous

uneven mason
#

Or her thing toomuch with the ghosts?

crisp dragon
#

I think Niklaus is usually prefered

chilly brook
#

Frieda first is ez

strong forum
#

Frieda last is easier if you have bad raid dmg I've heard, and no boomkins or dks

crisp dragon
#

really? We should have done that

strong forum
#

If you have dks you do Frieda first

uneven mason
crisp dragon
#

Does one DK count as DKs?

uneven mason
#

I have 2 DKs

#

and the adds don't seem to die.

#

Although I have a boomkin now too

crisp dragon

But 100 + pulls in, doubt they will change tactics, we're just gonna bash our heads against it

We have 2-3 so we are trying fsn

uneven mason

so maybe I should try it.

I think we doin FNS

strong forum
#

Had a convo with good people and they basically all suggested FSN, even the tank that did World first Frieda last

crisp dragon
#

There has been many idiotic actions during our raids, dont look at me to commit them though

uneven mason
#

Yeah I get ya

#

93pulls on HC Sire

#

about 60 of those was me calling wipes

#

because I knew with X # of people dead we couldn't make the DPS in phase 3

crisp dragon
#

My guild would still insist we tanked all the soaks when we were like 220 ilvl

uneven mason
#

lol

crisp dragon
#

We had to stop dps for like 1 minute

strong forum
#

"We choose Freda because of a couple things. Foremost was our healers were oom going into p3 next was that we didn't have the Nick damage for second stoneborn and got behind on ads at the same time. Doing Frida and turning it all into a single Target fight gave us the DPS we needed"

uneven mason
#

My guild hardly clears all 3 waves of adds and then transistions Sire at 40% Before he forces the transistion himself

#

our first kill was as he was casting Ravage #3

#

a MW touch of deathed him

#

with 0.3 left in the cast, quite the kill snipe

chilly brook
#

I lied

#

We doin FSN

mossy sluice
#

yeah idk if anyone has done stavros last

uneven mason
#

the DPS burst required to down his add

strong forum
#

Stavros last Was limits and echoes strat

crisp dragon
#

Yeah, Stavros last is not possible

strong forum
#

Requires INSANE dmg

uneven mason

even on heroic

its obtuse

We did it tho

uneven mason
#

I can't imagine with mythic scaling

#

As our strat

#

On HC

#

Week1

crisp dragon
#

Ye, our HC strat as well

uneven mason
#

Yeah I gave stavros last two pulls in HC progression

#

and we would lose people do the recital that overlapped

#

so I said ok, lets try frieda last, and that was so easy for us

#

our interrupts are spot on

#

its like the one thing all my DPS are good at ๐Ÿ˜„

#

in raid at least

#

M+ different situation ><

#

had to have the "talk" with a few of them when I was doing a +15 SoA

#

on the first pull I got hit by every lash

I was like "Okboys - you have this button that stops things from casting, find it, and put it like, everywhere you have open space on your hotbars"

compact palm
#

is there something about the quantum device that is good for prot

#

its in my vault

uneven mason
#

Its uh, a trinket that has varied uses, if the versatility boost procs you'll hit like a madman for its duration

compact palm
#

aight

#

Imma look into it more

#

I know theres a exicute thing too

#

but nothing past that

uneven mason
#

it can also heal for like 30k (Other people)

compact palm
#

If you or someone around you is crowd-controlled, the device will eliminate the crowd control.
If a trinket is out and has the chance to kill your target with a certain amount of damage, the kill rate will be 100%.
If any healer near your location currently has less than 20% of their mana, the device restores some of the mana.
If you or someone near you is in danger, the device will spawn a target that draws all aggro.
If your health or someone near you is below 30%, the device will heal.
If none of the above are true, the device will give you buff on one of your secondary stats.

#

Ok some weird things i supose

#

would be rather sad about if it procs the mana one

solemn magnet
#

IQD is aight

compact palm
#

wait can i spawn something like trees?

solemn magnet
#

I wouldn't go out of my way to use it

compact palm
#

If you or someone near you is in danger, the device will spawn a target that draws all aggro.

#

Is this trees

#

and what counts as in danger

uneven mason
#

IDK I don't think I've ever seen that.

#

BUt I'm a tank

compact palm
#

weird

uneven mason
#

Last night, it gave me, 800 vers, 800 haste, and nuked Sire Denathrius for 18.8k

#

800 haste x2

compact palm
#

honistly would be happy if it gave me vers and was the only thing

uneven mason
#

yeah me too

compact palm
#

tho the heal would be clutch sometimes

uneven mason
#

its impressive the damage throughput when I get the big vers buff

#

the heal has saved more htan 1 M+ run

#

by saving my healer

#

as has the mana dump

#

TBH I'm using it because my other trinkets are all garbage

#

I have a 223

#

and my other options are like a 213 spike

#

and a 213 Lady D trinket

#

and a (vendored) sheet music

compact palm
#

i mean i have 200ilvl Bloodbarrir thing (cant remember the name) and 187 Alar

#

vs 216 Quantum

#

If an ally within 100yds is below 30% health, we'll heal

#

100yrds XD

uneven mason
#

yeah its quite a long range.

#

Like I said, I'm wearing it for the high ilvl, raw str.

#

and the fun things it does, but its not a "good" trinket for prot because of its long reuse with hard to predict results.

compact palm
#

theres a W.a for it

uneven mason
#

Yeah

#

but you can't force it to do what you want

#

you can just know what it wants to do

compact palm
#

i pretty sure i can just perma int to 20% life

#

ez

#

or could it still get another result?

uneven mason
#

mmhmm

#

Like I Know when I hit it on Sire

#

I was at like 15% HP and was praying for the heal

#

and it executed instead

compact palm
#

what ones should be my best

#

out of this

#

oh so if more then one condition is met it will just coinflip

#

other then the buffs which are just coinflip assuming the other conditions arnt met

uneven mason
#

Scale and uh...that 194 flame might be your best 2?

missing a 200 slimy consumtive organ too

would rather have this

Or they do the design on bring your kid to work day

My warrior only seems to get trinkets from the vault... I could use yalls help on which one to pick this week..

I have a 220 slimy consumptive organ (131 stam) or a 207 sanguine vintage.

I currently am running stone legion heraldy 207 and a 200 gluttonous spike for aoe and trash boss fights I typically use a 200 memory of past sins

uneven mason
#

sanguine vintage isn't horrible

sweet summit
#

vintage>organ

uneven mason
#

its an on demand bubble

#

with a very short CD

sweet summit
#

id replace spike if you want the extra defensiveness

uneven mason
#

the 220 version is basically a health stone

#

every min

surreal plinth
#

Thats exactly what I was thinking but the 220 ilevel was making my brain short circut

uneven mason
#

yeah ilvl is wonky for trinkets

mighty valley
#

stam just isn't that meaningful in most circumstances

uneven mason
#

its flat out pointless for quite some time

#

as over time str adds more to your effective health

mighty valley
#

i didn't mind the organ when I was first starting out kinda undergeared, just a little buffer room for healer to catch up, but past that it just makes you a sponge

surreal plinth
#

I have so many freaking trinkets this xpac.. I have memory of past sins, skulkers wing, decanter of anima charged winds, anima field emitter (194), splintered heart of alar, phial if putrefaction(197)

#

I'm over geared for my guilds content so I have pushing dps

#

But we're heading into heroic so I may need some defensives to help with our mediocre healing

uneven mason
#

what ilvl are ya

sweet summit

if you want more dps you can sim your trinkets

I'm not stressing the dps. Would rather stack the tanky trinkets tbh

cuz they scale a bit better

Has anymore opinions come out about 9.0.5 Mald banner? I'm about to betray to NF for DPS but I am still a bit curious if sacrificing some of my DPS wouldn't easily be drastically out paced by 400 Mast to a ret/UH/moonkin (Coordination is assumed)

#

The 15 sec with a 2 min CD is the biggest downside., but it is a lot of Mastery

uneven mason
#

You get almost as much mastery from Niya's soulbind

or Pelagos

Oh for your group, well

If you like ๐Ÿค˜ and simping with good transmogs

if you're always running with a Boomkin and UDH

than NL is prob worth it.

Yea, I think I'm okay losing a bit of DPS considering how bad it is anyway to boost two huge damage doers in raid. I don't do as much M+ on warrior ATM

uneven mason
#

the viscera, eh

#

its a very eh

surreal plinth
#

The blood spattered scale is pretty damn good. And will still do decent damage in trash packs. Boss fights though not sure its worth using

Isn't the absorb on it based on how many mobs hit?

uneven mason

with banner

which is lot of armor

#

and AP

I think Mald is winning me back, then! I know the mastery-whores would love it.

Aren't death knights in the worst spot dps wise for tanking?

@chilly brook So, to recap....you don't save AA for Avatar at all? You just full send it on CD as long as it makes sense pack wise

uneven mason
#

you just pump whatever is up

chilly brook
#

I dont

#

Just slap it when it's up

sick sentinel
#

Aight for sure

uneven mason
#

when you're doing M+ its nice to have more than 1 CD

#

so avatar give you good aggro, ravager gives good aggro and AA gives good aggro.

chilly brook
#

Delaying it for avatar is 15 seconds

uneven mason
#

thats way too much of its CD

chilly brook
#

Which would mean every 5 casts you lost an extra cast

#

Or something like that

uneven mason
#

you're basically sacrificing the bonus dmg from the conduit
