- 50% heal reduce ๐
@ionic fern Is this like really really really strong as i think ?
what's it called?
ye that is try but i feel condemn is more consistent
for M+ it is @dusty yacht
@ionic fern does it work for fury if they intervene does revenge reduce slam to 0?
@vestal totem you kill in PvP with burst, not consistency
Kyrian is not the best for pvp
Thrre are so many defensices that break spear of bastions tether
yeah but bladestorm, unhinged and no escape is pretty strong
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 ?
Nah, it gives you the rage + SB and then the "Revenge!" buff but Slam still costs rage.
Yes.
I tested it on dummies and with HR SB never dropped.
With AM it was like 90-95% overall up time (with Double Time).
You think in m+ we can come back to anger managment ?
prolly
I already do xD
it will be easier i to have that up time in actual content as you can intervene allies in melee for a free SB
but somehow I think bolster + sismic is more dmg
wat
AM + seismic will hurt hard
Coward
xD
Yes of course. It's the best way to get your healer used to the chaos
mine already is ๐
216 but i will take it !!
๐จ
gz!
ty fellas, was farming dos for so long
what does the conduit for necro banner do on ptr?
My wife/rshaman is now refusing to do DoS. Think I'm stuck with my 184 unless The Vault Provides.
10 ilvl upgrade on chest, losing vers90/crit41 for haste90/crit49
you take the 10ilvl.
or 3 ilvl on shield, trading 23crit/42haste for 39crit/27vers
yup
still thinking chest eh?
oooph, probably shield tbh. I'll leave that to the experts to pick for you though! I'm a pleb.
@ionic fern halp
He's like that guy from numbers and just sees math floating in his eyeballs
although that could be floaters from diabetes as well.
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
i'd say shield
get the simc addon
@smoky wave was that yes for my question? ":D
yeah, vault loot is independent of the dungeons you've run
i see, thank you, so if i do 10 DoS and nothing else i will get 3 items from DoS?
90% Shield block uptime > thunderlords?
ya
no, items can come from any dungeon, not just ones you've run
oh, INdependent... sry im a potato
s'ok, you're a potato with a shield and really that's what matters
trying to be ๐
can i use my haste mastery fury set set with a prot warrior and be good ?
probably!
Like without any vers you're taking... not that much more dmg than someone who's been focusing vers/haste
ilvl is far more important than stats
if u have haste youll be fine
Ppl gotta snap outta this vers madness
my fury gear is also higher ilvl lol
There's no corruption anymore
then youll be fine
quick question about gems
haste
https://www.wowhead.com/item=30546/sovereign-tanzanite#comments what about this tho
5str 6stam
i have a noob question, what does the block value of shields adds to ?, is it block chance ? block ammount ? ๐ฎ
wouldnt that be great? or im just looking through shitty pink tinted glasses
the amount of damage u bloke
the % the damage is reduced
๐คท 5 strength is not that great and no one cares about stam tbh
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 ?
block value is a 2nd Damage reduction table that works like another layer of armor
Yes, the gap between boots and legs isn't so great as to loose that much on your boots.
Ty ty ! That was what i was thinking was most logical but just wanted to make sure ^^
Yeah, doesn't make sense to sacrifice that much ilvl
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
reducing damage you say?
WHy would you want to do that.
Think of your poor healers parse.
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?
well its magic so block will do nothing with soulcrusher
Got the stamina organ at 226, kinda fun having a lot of hp I guess.
i would just vendor that tbh
It was such a high ilvl over my other trinket it doesn't take much justifying
what is your other trinket?
Like a 203 codex
no wait
the spreadsheet is saying that the initial hit is blockable
i dunno never had it
For m+ organ seems pretty solid, 10k heal on a 20 second cd doesn't seem worthless. More with crits
Not always true, many "magic" attacks have a physical attack component that is blockable.
soulcrushers damage comes from the dot tho
wellthen 
that was my point
do any of you guys use simcraft and pawn to help balance your gear?
is sephuz good for damage in m+? I saw Naow running it in MDI, wondering if its good for us too.
because I did and it stripped alot of my haste gear off and idk if thats good
pawn sucks for us and simming is only for dps so its going to show crit as the best stat
this is like the 3rd expansion in a row where people understand that pawn is shit
maybe 4th even
Well I never used it until now
look its easy for armour
is it a higher ilvl
take it
if its the same ilvl
which has more haste
so ilevel or secendary stats
ilvl everytime
more stats > better stats
theres an argument for jewelry on ilvl vs secondaries
10-15 ilvls
on jewelery sure
well I am sitting at 36% mastery 5% haste but with a higher ilevel
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 
well I was thinking it would sim better survivability based on the custom stat weights I put in from icy veins
its an initial hit thats physical, then a dot based on the physical damage taken as magic damage. spell reflect will deflect the dot but the phys hit will still go through iirc
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%
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
as much haste as possible w/o sacrificing ilvl
why even gear for survivability? we are playing warrior, gear crit haste and pop avatar and spam revenge my dude
LOL
big 2k revenges
I do have a DPS set crit and haste >.<
if you die link dps and say "i would like to see a DH maintain a hard 1.7k dps like me, noob healer"
pรผmp
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
ok so if you block it then the dot means nothing
wait
now we are theorycrafting
the dot still fucks
blocking doesnt stop the dot
not false 
the dot is based off the dmg taken though?
yeah but its sketchy
so blocking stops the dmg taken from the physical
but you can just SR and not get the dot ๐คท
think you can only sr every other one
well id rather block to stop dmg from the initial and the dot
and save SR for if i need it
what are you saving sr for
u dont need it anywhere else in the fight tho
if blocks down
so higher ilevel regardless of secondary stats unless the pieces are the same ilevel
and the dot would actually be doing dmg
you can block that hit all you want but you're gonna get trucked
i guess im confused on the interaction then
the dot still fuks u regardless of how much of the inital damage you block
btw im swapping from healer to tank so im not fully aware of these yet
Yeah thats correct
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
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
Generally its tied to the ilvl of your shield
so SB gives me 100% chance to block i guess 56%
gotcha alright thats where ive been confused then
does bop + challenging shout combo work in raids? keeping aggro on your self while immune?
i just kind of assumed it was blocking all physical since i havent played a shield tank before
somewhere around that value
yeah it's not like PoE. it just deflects a % of phys damage you would of taken
to whoever was talking about mitigation the other day, ilvl 226 shield is about 39.5%
with no prot vault upgrades, is it worth taking another 226 1h for fury or 226 IQD?
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
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
don't take the IQD
since you're basically wearing BiS trinkets
2 226 1hs are better than 220 2hs for fury right? unfortunately I know nothing about the spec
yes
TG is only about 1-2% ahead
you'll always go with highest ilvl
for weapons.
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
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.
Do I want stomps?
They do, yes.
he goes into phase when he runs out of anima
if he's in a puddle
he's not using any
He wasn't in a puddle
yeah so if hes not stomping then hes gonna have more mana/anima and pop another ordynance
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?
yeah
i have to purposefully run into him to get him to do it
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?
oh wait
this happened to me last night.
you don't want him to drop more orbs or do you want him to do orbs?
I don't want more orbs.
if you want him to not do orbs
We couldn't soak 15 orbs lol
literally tanked the key for us due to him taking another 2min longer to kill because he wouldn't recharge a 2nd time.
well that's what dshoo wanted
hah
recharge is always with orbs
but yeah, just walk into him when you see the stomp timer is up and pop sr
and he will stomp
We want the intermission phase because 1) he takes more damage and 2) we can soak 10 orbs, we can't soak 15 lol
yeah just stay at the edge of melee and he won't burn energy
That clears it up, thanks.
@uneven mason I want him to burn energy lol
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
Here you go friend https://wago.io/rk3RIjGtz
First you have to install the sound: http://www.mediafire.com/file/7l6rreo296dz9iy/Execute.ogg And paste it to : World
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
Lmao
Upon logging in, it says the file is too old?
Does it only go on bosses or trash too
This would've been amazing during 8.3 arms tom+haste corruption build
I didnt have that problem
Ill see if it works
Big facts
Sound doesnt work ๐ฆ
Did you download the sound file and put it in the folder?
Else WA wouldn't have recognized it
Cuz you gotta download the sound file and put it in the WA sound folder
I guess I will just have to accept that my 7k executes will never be epic ๐ฆ
@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?
Even in Dungeons?
Yea
The extra slow can be nice
ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
I dont feel the need to leap away very often, but i'm only doing 15/16 so
reprisal doesnt interact with heroic leap
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Obviously when Reprisal comes
I can run out of melee range without the extra slow
no i know, but the leap away to charge back in

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

feel like that row is prefrence anyway, likely stay that way too
But like, atm, I pretty much never /need/ leap when its not up, so i've been using CT
Plus crackling is interacting with arguably your least impactful button aka 5 rage the button

I swear, I was joking last raid night and said "TC is DPS loss lmao" - This guy that has a personal vendetta against me was like "no it's so good omg 5 rage and damage omg"
could/should be using already
Kekw

Tell him to look at logs
Large kekw, some people man, even above the age of 25 they still act like kids when they don't like someone
Realistically it won't actually matter, you dont need to run bounding I just dont see much value in crackling
Tc aoe is already big enough
oh dont get me wrong, crackling is not good 
Best part about TC is the chance to reset shield slam

I just figured some use > "no" use since i dont personally use leap often
I use leap like pez
I use leap a lot
I feel so slow without bounding
If for no other reason than to get to the next mob
so glad the other 2 talents on that row are useless
Well yeah, granted, if Shield slam and revenge is more than a global or rage away, TC comes to mind, but with a tear in my eye
Lol
:pog:
We wore out our knees too hard in BFA, which is why our tc stomps are so wimpy now
when does the WA proc? During any combat, or just boss
It's a health % condition
But like I said you can make it only in dungeons or raid or just add the ID of the target
Ah! Perfect, then that's why, I fixed the sound issue, so it should work now, but all ive done this week of dungeons is a +2 for 750 stygia, big lmao
Okay but Griff more important question here how do you make your damage numbers so crisp and big?
Classic numbers I think
Ye, classic
Yea
first was awesome but Gohan coming into his own was so good
especially with the personality change
and then they threw it all away ๐ฆ
weebs ๐ ๐ช
It would have been better in retrospect, if he still had any fucking value to the story past that saga
Ey, I'm not a fucking weeb, but it is my childhood
guys should i replace my 207 scale with a 220 sanguine vintage? or replace my 207 wep with a 213 one?
That's honestly sad Griff
Or shall I call you Matt, it's a great show, but I understand people dont have the time to watch 800 episodes now
weapon for damage, vintage for a defensive trinket
id take weapon personally
I've never watched Dragon ball, DBZ is where it is
Wait, I didn't realize u had weeb picture, omg
dbz doesn't even count as weeb at this point
Nah, to me it's just my childhood, not sure how else to describe it
Are we doing it, are we gonna do a @ everyone to make everyone pushup

just do pushups and situps alternating while on flight paths or waiting for summons
it adds up
I can't man, Im pussy rank'

:v)
It doesn't even work

yea thank fuck
Would lead to so many bans if it did
@sweet summit
Well I mean I knew it didnt work hence why I did it
@sweet summit
pee color name
dont out me like that :/
Phoenix get so many pings I wish I could set dead hours on disc when pings just wouldn't go through
lmao
@sweet summit ban me pls
I should clean this up
I missed out on so much good last night
226 is better

226
226 
Irl friends wanted to play the game
what are your other options in vault?
I know the conventional wisdow
And I got like 15 pings for sale runs
it's not my vault xD
oh if you already have it who cares play around with both
it's 3 secondary overall lost and 3 strength for trading to better secondaries...
also 7 stam ๐
f**** stam
and armor
1 armor
I mean sim it?
@outer solstice If you come and ask the wizards for wisdom, and they give you wisdom you do not wish to hear, do not ask the wizards
ah yes cause that happens alot
@wet compass simming for DPS ... yeah not helping I guess
Thats the meme
wait
then the extra ilvl is good
Yeah, guy has no idea he's chasing his own tail

He needed to do his peepo study

Got a shield at last

@strong forum We all know what a Haste whore you are

๐ณ
Slimy Consumptive Organ at 220 worth having or should i go for a 13 ilvl upgrade belt with Haste > Vers on it?
The trinket is dogshit
Absolute horseshit
Go for the armor upgrade
That's what i was thinking too, but wanted to make sure i wouldnt need the trinket for some niche moment in Mythic Raids or something
Na, it can be savely ignored until they buff it by 1000%
I do have a 226 lying around, my first weekly
F
Elden Ring lookin good
Who dat
i should have just rolled arms or fury >_< but i was trying to see if id get a shield like a dumb dumb head
New game from Fromsoft
Who she
Aka Dark Souls dudes
Isleep
I spoon
Being made with George R R Martin tho @strong forum
I sleep
Game of Thrones author
Wow 2
George R.R. Martin, kills all his characters, including the character of his books
George R.R. Martin killed thunderclap
woot, two 226 weapons to replace the 226 weapon I looted last week
I guess fury offspec is all set now
Sick!
Cant wait to loot my +2 item tomorrow since we didnt do reclear in mythic
still time to run a +15?
Ive been 1199 RIO for some weeks, just can't get myself have fun doing m+
this seems like an easily solvable problem
Ah, that's too bad.
M-
Its timed heroic
We're done reclearing
I don't even have a key

Same griff
proggers
We're 100 pulls in on Council, feels like it should have been dead ages ago, I went from top 60 prot warrior to now top 120
Oof
DW, getting kills now will make you jump 20 spots per boss
Yeah, if all 20 people on my team was my skill, but they're not
Welcome to raiding
The weird thing is
So I will lose rank with every kill @strong forum because they're slow
It do be like that
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
Trying to RL council as tank is interesting, wathc your stacks, cotank stacks, boss positioning, add spawn, jumps, CDs, kicks
IDK feels like it'd be easier to do Freida last even on mythic?
theres a guild who did it as a meme and the movement seems ridiculous
Or her thing toomuch with the ghosts?
I think Niklaus is usually prefered
Frieda first is ez
Frieda last is easier if you have bad raid dmg I've heard, and no boomkins or dks
really? We should have done that
If you have dks you do Frieda first
We do Niklaus first just because of this.
Does one DK count as DKs?
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
so maybe I should try it.
I think we doin FNS
spicy
Thats an idiotic way to look at things, if you're 100 pulls n and not willing to adjust you might as well just go lick paint
Had a convo with good people and they basically all suggested FSN, even the tank that did World first Frieda last
There has been many idiotic actions during our raids, dont look at me to commit them though
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
My guild would still insist we tanked all the soaks when we were like 220 ilvl
lol
We had to stop dps for like 1 minute
"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"
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
yeah idk if anyone has done stavros last
the DPS burst required to down his add
Stavros last Was limits and echoes strat
Yeah, Stavros last is not possible
Requires INSANE dmg
We did it tho
I can't imagine with mythic scaling
Ye, our HC strat as well
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 ๐
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"
I wish, honestly we survive pretty well, but when TC does less than 1k dmg baseline, it feels like I wanna cry
When reprisal goes live?
Whenever 9.0.5 hits
Folks,
poooog
you've won the first tier of content... grats
Does bliz having issues atm? i get 'no servers are currently available' when i've finally gotten to the front of the queue..
dat_english
We're currently investigating an issue affecting our authentication servers, which may result in failed or slow login attempts. #BlizzCS
110
cries in noob
Its uh, a trinket that has varied uses, if the versatility boost procs you'll hit like a madman for its duration
aight
Imma look into it more
I know theres a exicute thing too
but nothing past that
it can also heal for like 30k (Other people)
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
IQD is aight
wait can i spawn something like trees?
I wouldn't go out of my way to use it
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
weird
Last night, it gave me, 800 vers, 800 haste, and nuked Sire Denathrius for 18.8k
800 haste x2
honistly would be happy if it gave me vers and was the only thing
yeah me too
tho the heal would be clutch sometimes
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
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
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.
theres a W.a for it
Yeah
but you can't force it to do what you want
you can just know what it wants to do
i pretty sure i can just perma int to 20% life
ez
or could it still get another result?
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
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
Scale and uh...that 194 flame might be your best 2?
missing a 200 slimy consumtive organ too
upgrade ur pvp trinket
Or that
and use scale + insignia
get a 2h and get into some RBGs
get some conquest trinkets ๐
Arms is big demand.
Leaper + Barbarian + bounding = ~15s flag caps
But yeah dragon charge in AV across the Alliance bridge legit some of the most fun I've ever had in PVP
or EoTS
yeah xD
I should get a WA that plays a bowling pin sound whne I press it
LOL
accturate for sure
the amount of kills that ive gotten with just that ability is insane
whats peoples opinions on the bladedancers armot kit? brick trinket?

worst trinket in the game

oOf
Every xpac needs a shit trinket apparently
Its like they give designing a tank trinket to an intern as a reward
"Make it a good one!"
"TANKS LIKE ARMOR AND IT SHOULD LAST A LONG TIME"
would rather have this
Or they do the design on bring your kid to work day
"Daddy why can't you get the box you have in minecraft that shoots the lasers? I think they should have that in your Orc game"
Yes I would like to order 1x laser box plz
Literally 1shots anything
you can fire it and spin around
and it kills everything
great trinket
so like I said, a kid would make a fantastic trinket, thats intern crap
Never played a single RPG in their life
Will Reprisal be the best M+ Legy in 905 for Prots? And making them "better" than they are now?
reprisal will be the go to in m+
Sure and "eh?"
the wall is still the go to in raids
Reprisal won't address the issues we have that make it so we're not the meta tank
but its very strong for m+
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
sanguine vintage isn't horrible
vintage>organ
id replace spike if you want the extra defensiveness
Thats exactly what I was thinking but the 220 ilevel was making my brain short circut
yeah ilvl is wonky for trinkets
stam just isn't that meaningful in most circumstances
its flat out pointless for quite some time
as over time str adds more to your effective health
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
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
what ilvl are ya
if you want more dps you can sim your trinkets
I'm not stressing the dps. Would rather stack the tanky trinkets tbh
I'm only 208 ilevel
Lol
you're overgeared for heroic
No way
My guild is def holding me back but I'm just enjoying the laid back raiding this expac
Welcome to being a ๐ก๏ธ ๐งฑ
Keys seem to be more challenging anyways
they are until you get to sire
Well thanks yall ill probably grab the sire trinket instead of the stam one
Sire is fun on normal lol I can't imagine heroic mechanics
Second and third phase are probably panic attack inducing
I was 208 my guilds first Sludgefist kill
I was 204 stepping into heroic
Sire is on par with Heroic Blackhand
with one of the most fun fights
i was 189 when i stepped into heroic ๐
๐
Most of my gear is 1400 pvp gear so I have 22% vers atm lol
You didn't have to rebuild a guild
we did ikari
don't worry about stat %
yeah I had to rebuild mind like 3 weeks in
201 when killing sludge for the first time
I was 204 after we rebuilt and I started tanking
since the only 2 people that stayed behind were the 2 tanks
(since they were the problem)
rather one tank was the problem, the other tank just happened to be sleeping with the first.
oh wait haha
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/g3nJZYPQhmCbt94a#fight=8&type=damage-done 193 first heroic raid
package deals.
my ill fated attempt at fury
They were not a package deal originally?
from what I understand
IDK I came in late into that story
what potion do we use in keys? Strenght, Phantom Fire or Empowered Exocisms?
sure
cheers
Empowered exorcism is actually really good on big trash packs
I'll top the meters when I use it
hah i wish
Whats the deal with other tank classes using weapon stones and weights over the oil?
Like dk
Lol fair enough
Do they really?
oil is better ST
AP is better aoe
thats it
like 0.01% difference
literally
oil makes phantom fire stronger, so i use that
Interesting ill have to try it out in mythics tonight
Its literally not worth the braincells you just expended thinking about it
this
Hahaha alright thanks fellas
Like that one dude who ran like 14 sims
and was wondering why he was getting different results
btween the stone and oil
because its within the margin of error
๐คฆ

i legit just use oil cuz it makes phantom fire stronger, thats it
i like that theres an interaction
Thats what I've been using on boss fights
Is there a general amount of haste you need to have for prot?
as much as you can get
but i gotta say, around 25% haste is when you start popping off defensively
but thats just feely craft
nothing more
kk. thank you!
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
You get almost as much mastery from Niya's soulbind
or Pelagos
Oh for your group, well
If you like ๐ค and simping with good transmogs
if you're always running with a Boomkin and UDH
than NL is prob worth it.
I mean technically it is the best covenant ability for buffing others in your group
But its technically for others in your group
What trinkets are good to aim for from dungeons?
hmmm, scale from DoS
Anima emitter from SoA
yeah I thi nkthats about it
defensively
I want the slimy consumptive organ to be good damnit lmao
I still haven't picked sanguine vintage yet >_>
What about trinket from ToP?
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
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?
I mean, you can soulbind/conduit into 28% str
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.
SO if you're NL already
then you have a reason to stay
if not, eh, its not going to make or break a run
I'm not - Venthyr, so betraying either way.
Necro is getting a buff next patch isn't it?
Its gone form "horrifyingly bad" to "functional contender for use"
Mald banner + FC Rework had me 'interested' but NF Stomp DPS is... sexy

I still like my spear root... throw ravager down ontop of it and watch trash melt
I think if the CD's 100% aligned like they did in beta I never would have not gone Bastion. That combo was hilarious in M+
I like spear myself as well, but I am thinking if Reprisal goes through the way it does and I have to kite less I will probably be fucking with NF
Burrs being 11% is hilarious. It really shows how low our native DPS haha.
Yea, the burrs thing is because our dmg is trash
Yea, haha.
Damage is trash????
I mean, compared to other tank classes. It's not good
I love that %, it makes me cry a lil'.
Aren't death knights in the worst spot dps wise for tanking?
Or are you speaking strictly single target?
Gotcha
Warrior is pretty much within ~5% of BDK on every fight in CN.
I'd link my logs but yall will laugh at my guild lol
I was top 4 dps on some fights ๐ฉ
Although TFW someone tells me warriors are weak...
But with a significantly less healing done. The Shield Block lego will help make warriors feel unkillable against melee at least.
My parses are hilarious though.
Yea, then we would 100% laugh at your guild
If you were that high, unless you were playing a pure DMG build and not using defensives lmfao?
Oh man you went NF too?
Les go
NF bis for prot
Been nightfae forever
Most of the people in our raid are pretty casual man.

way before it was cool
@chilly brook Fuck man, I think I am going to be switching too
Spear is nice, but shit
It's worth
its not a 2m CD
Some of the first tho
Its not?!?
Its like 1:15
1.5m or 1.3m with conduit
yeah, 1:15~
And the switch begins
desyncs from avatar
lol
but it trucks
Isn't it like 12 sec of stuns basically?
Basically
For caster packs which is our worst to deal with it seems amazing
Locking down caster packs is huge
And the huge mastery/hp buff from Niya is great
Although I'd wager you could pull some nasty damage with korayn
I think the spear is just nice right now with this "kite" meta, but I don't think that will be around for much longer
yeah. I'm considering Korayn for a Seismic build
Even with the conduit donโt you just wait for avatar to be up to AA anyways
that extra crit and bonus dmg at pull
@sick sentinel https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/DTVxmKRF64ZqpaWf#fight=8
Prepare to laugh ๐
No kekw
Just slap that shiz on CD
Unless you're delaying for a specific mechanic
Wtf for real I used to do that but I noticed my dps going up in keys when I demo avatar AA
LOL
Oh-my-christ.
Like sludge pillars
Hahahhahahahaha
My off tank on sun king kinda just sits there
I will say KT is a weird one because people don't understand what to do for. But the Artificer isn't much better ๐
LOL
Maybe they were bandaging
Like I said. Old casual people
People that have any trash spawn at all on normal Sunking over 200ilvl
At least we've cleared normal a few times that was a plus lol
We literally pull him, guardian, I RC and our protadin LOHs
"Phase"
you don't even get any phase 1 trash
@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
you just pump whatever is up
Aight for sure
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.
Delaying it for avatar is 15 seconds
thats way too much of its CD
you're basically sacrificing the bonus dmg from the conduit


fuck vers mastery shit cloak
