upper juniper
#

they definitely need heals

grizzled nova
#

lmao what

chilly brook
#

DH is 50% prot 50% blood

compact palm
#

Reprisal will fix that

upper juniper
#

they have a bdk like mechanic with soul cleave

distant crystal
#

a vdh that doesn't have at least one of fiery brand/demon spikes/meta

upper juniper
#

but theyre not bdk level not at all close

distant crystal
#

is paper

chilly brook
#

Mitigation of prot, healing like mechanics of blood

shell hare
#

You legit take no dmg it’s just dealing damage that’s a problem 😔 highest I’ve done was like 3.9 overall

sturdy sable
upper juniper
#

oh

#

thank you for clarifying

sturdy sable
#

You'd get the same healing just walking over the souls

upper juniper
#

:p

chilly brook
#

It's really a mash up of tank specs

sturdy sable
#

Cleave has its own heal

chilly brook
#

It's incredibly fun to play tbh

grizzled nova
distant crystal
#

they still haven't fixed vdh souls removing grievous stacks tho

compact palm
#

Dealing 1k more overall is making up for like 4-5 deaths

chilly brook
#

Soul cleave has a base heal

#

Souls run off a different mechanic

outer solstice
sturdy sable
#

The souls is what scales off damage intake Hance why bomb can heal off it

chilly brook
#

% of incoming damage in the last few seconds

#

But cleave is a set amount

compact palm
#

Blasted

shell hare
outer solstice
#

oof

compact palm
#

Lol

chilly brook
#

Well reprisal when 9.0.5 drops

outer solstice
#

might want tto build the wall

chilly brook
#

Until then wall is king imo

grizzled nova
#

It's fair to say that there's a percentage based healing mechanic on both vdh and bdk, but it isn't reality to claim that they allow a healer to lense the ability of the tank to survive in the same way.

chilly brook
#

TL is also really good

outer solstice
#

wall will still be pretty good in 905

compact palm
#

How much dps does signet add for prot real question

outer solstice
#

AoE?

compact palm
#

And why doesn't it work with ravager

outer solstice
#

quite a lot

#

ST

#

like 0

grizzled nova
outer solstice
#

well a bit more than 0

grizzled nova
#

Even if they have mechanical similarities.

distant crystal
#

oh well yeah, i mean nobody with eyes that's ever looked at a log would say that

#

BDK self-healing is a replacement for mitigation really

compact palm
#

I mean if u gave bdk sheild block at lsss effectiveness yea

#

Demon spikes r good

outer solstice
#

on our first hungering kill our BDK had only slightly less EHRPS than me though

#

they still require healing too

median tulip
#

So, I've been thinking (big mistake I know), but with nuReprisal giving Shield Block without relying on the actual Shield Block charges or rage generation from Shield Slam, will Haste still be the absolute play that it has been thus far in SL, or could Crit and Mastery rise in relative value for the Reprisal/BSC/AM build that most of us are anticipating?

outer solstice
#

yes

#

more haste, more SS resets, more rage, more revenge

#

it's not just about the SB CD

#

for defense haste is king

#

for damage it's a mixx of crit/haste that's simming highest atm I think

blazing condor
#

just out of curiosity whats considered "good" dps overall in m+?

median tulip
#

Yes, but (correct me id I'm wrong) many of us are looking at the offensive value, and with up to 100 extra Rage per minute from Charge and Intervene, that's a lot of potential damage output before we get into the Shield Slams

outer solstice
#

last boss dead in time?

#

100 extra rage per minute is not that much though

#

also it's actually more

#

you still save the IP and SB rage costs

median tulip
outer solstice
#

so if oyu say you ghet 5 casts off per minutes it's another 300 rage you save...

#

by running reprisal

#

more IP you use, when you don't need it to prevent overcappign means more healer DPS too

#

more rage is 100% king

#

and best way for more rage is haste

median tulip
outer solstice
#

also I think reprisal + Am is stronk

median tulip
#

I'm certainly working on the assumption that Reprisal and AM is the play, yes

outer solstice
#

then haste has insane offensive value as well

#

booming + avatar will line up pretty good

chilly brook
median tulip
#

My starting point for Talents is x112xx1

outer solstice
#

well, to heal a BDK you have to track his ressources

#

more than his HP

#

common healer knowledge

chilly brook
#

Well yea

#

RP is basically the "do I need help or nah" indicator

#

But that's the same thing for most tanks

#

They all have some sort of "I need help" indicator

median tulip
#

A BDK can be at 20% and absolutely fine, or at 100% and already dead.

outer solstice
#

yeah SB down for us xD

chilly brook
#

Bloods just happens to be RP

#

Whereas most peoples are actual CDs

#

It requires tracking for both

compact palm
#

Bdk feels good to play imo

#

U have more control over your health then most tanks

chilly brook
#

I hate playing it

median tulip
#

I only play healer rarely. Mostly on Sun King with my Shaman TBH

next pelican
#

bdk just needs a bit more armor

outer solstice
#

I often compare the BDK/warrior difference like holy-priest/disc priest

chilly brook
#

I feel like I'm in less control

outer solstice
#

one has to play full predictive

median tulip
#

Didn't they buff DK armour from Bone Shield recently?

outer solstice
#

the other majority reactive

next pelican
#

watn enough

compact palm
#

In raids prediction isn't really doffocult

chilly brook
#

Blood is just as proactive as prot

outer solstice
#

so are holy priests

#

thus it fits so good

median tulip
#

I bounced off Blood DK when I tried it

outer solstice
#

ppl think it's reactive, but it's not

compact palm
#

Holy preists reactive 100

lavish oracle
#

I'm not a fan of low mobility classes in general

outer solstice
#

detect the warrior and the BDK

#

melee hits only

#

hungering

arctic wasp
#

how is bdk not reactive when you have to literally wait 5ish seconds to get dmg to heal ?, or am i missing something ? xD

outer solstice
#

@arctic wasp it has to be planned

next pelican
#

you need to anticipate when youre taking damage and need to DS

median tulip
next pelican
#

death strike isn't an OH SHIT button

arctic wasp
#

i know you plan it, but you are still reacting after you get the dmg

chilly brook
outer solstice
arctic wasp
#

there is a difference between planning and reacting than planning and panicing

outer solstice
#

then call it something else

#

but reactive

chilly brook
#

No because you're actively building the resources for something that happens in 5 seconds @arctic wasp

#

Its very proactive

arctic wasp
#

my point is, that's still reactive and not proactive, on a pwarr you press your button before the dmg, therefor proactivly mitigating, whith the dk you do it aftermath

chilly brook
#

If you die as a blood DK it's likely because of something you did or failed to do 10 or more seconds before it happened

#

It's not reactive though...

#

You press 1 button after the fact

arctic wasp
#

i dont think we have the same understanding of the word reactive xD

#

but it's ok

chilly brook
#

Everything else is being done before hand

#

Go into the blood dk discord and tell them they're reactive

compact palm
#

U can just sit on high runic

#

Making it reactive

chilly brook
#

That's not how it works

#

That's how you die

arctic wasp
#

is fine, for me you still waiting for the dmg to come to react, and that's why ppl say it's "reactive" by your definition, everyclass in everygme is proactive when play properly as you ahve to plan ahead if you want to be good xD

outer solstice
#

let's jsut get off the word reactive

#

and go back to my argument ffs xD

arctic wasp
#

yeah is prob a bad word anyways

outer solstice
#

holypriest - discpriest is similar to bdk - protwarrior

chilly brook
compact palm
#

Yikes

outer solstice
#

that's a bad definition

chilly brook
#

Is it?

outer solstice
#

the control part is weird

#

imagine emergency serices

#

they are definitely reactive but they are controlling it

chilly brook
#

If you purely respond to incoming damage that's how you kill yourself as a DK

coarse kestrel
#

I'd argue every class is proactive when played correctly, yes

arctic wasp
#

is fine, is semantics, i might be wrong tbh english is not even my 1st language so i'll give it to u :P, i just think ppl says the R word just because you act after the dmg, which is kind of different for most tanks, maybe monks do the same with their teas ? 😛

outer solstice
#

yeah but some have to act before the impact

#

others have to act after the impact

arctic wasp
#

both have to be in control and plan the events

#

if you dont want to die xD

chilly brook
#

What you're failing to grasp

outer solstice
#

teach me daddy

chilly brook
#

Is that playing "reactively" as blood and simply just playing whack a mole gets you killed

outer solstice
#

oh we know

#

but so does holy priest if you do it that way

#

it was all about the comparison

#

not about the word

arctic wasp
#

yeah that's true, i mean if you use your deathstrike as a panic button , eventually you'll drop sooner than later

chilly brook
#

If you're not playing ahead of everything you're dead especially in higher damage intake

median tulip
#

isn't Holy Priest all about getting cooldown reduction on your major spells by casting lesser ones?

chilly brook
#

Old LotP was a purely reactive ability

#

Cost ya nothing

#

And was simply a whack a mole after damage

outer solstice
#

that's why I was bringing the comparison up

chilly brook
#

But death strike, while yes you press it after the damage occurred, heavily plays off of a very proactive rune/runic power management system

outer solstice
#

I mean, we do similar things with CDR on SW and avatar with AM/Wall on top of that, but that wasn't my point

median tulip
#

My highest priest is 51 but I just got her through the maw the week SL launched and haven't touched her since... or, TBH, for about 6 months before

outer solstice
#

oh well I main prot my alt is holy priest

next pelican
#

the maw 😴

median tulip
#

TBH, I don't mind the intro scenario where you're in the maw, but the bit that pisses me off is Bolvar wittering on while you can't move

compact palm
#

Holy preists oneshots in 2v2 its hilarious

median tulip
#

Hopefully in 9.1 they will do away with that ridiculous intro scenario for alts

outer solstice
#

oh well I guess the same way that ppl play fury in arena

#

many clueless play it in arena xD

compact palm
#

Its not a legit oneshot obv but u can chunk for like 50 percent in 2 seconds ah holy

outer solstice
#

which he heals back in 1 instant

compact palm
#

True assuming they sent in cc

outer solstice
#

but yeah warbreaker, stormbolt bladestorm with unhinged is a big f**** to any clothy

#

well he can Guardian spirit in CC

compact palm
#

I'm saying the prist is doing the dmg

outer solstice
#

ooooh

compact palm
#

Not taking it

outer solstice
#

that way xD

shrewd elm
#

Guys i fairly new to tanking but want to give prot warrior a go. Is that a mistake?

compact palm
#

Lol

outer solstice
#

no

#

prot is fun

#

but be ready for some hand-practice

#

we hit many many buttonz

#

and fast

lusty torrent
#

if u brainded then no

compact palm
#

Mind games holy 🔥 chastise

outer solstice
#

what's a brain?

compact palm
#

Hurts

lusty torrent
#

if u brainded play vdh

shrewd elm
#

Haha nah i like to be off meta for a weird reason. Also i read that in the next patch necro will be our best covenent is that true?

lusty torrent
#

depends

compact palm
#

Prob not unless ur pushing 18s in discord

lusty torrent
#

will u be able to consistently get the mastery buff onto dps classes that use mastery during their 2 minutes cds?

#

if no probably not, stay kyrian

#

otherwise yes

compact palm
#

I'm necro because I always queue with 2 dps

shrewd elm
#

Cool haha

median tulip
#

Honestly Covenant doesn't make a great deal of difference to Prot

shrewd elm
#

Ok last one.how is our survivability compared to other tanks

compact palm
#

Depends on DMG type

median tulip
#

arguably Kyrian for the free potions, but then you have to join the creepy smurf cult

compact palm
#

If it's block able really good

median tulip
#

Like, to the extent that Raid bosses kinda tickle

#

Magic Damage though... oh boy that stings

shrewd elm
#

That sounds good

golden pollen
#

and ur SW is up quite a bit if its in m+, just make sure ur using the wall if u wanna be tanky

lusty torrent
#

although that nuReprisal do be looking juicy

real veldt
#

Depending on the frequency on the magic damage and whether or not it's reflectable, warrior can be very good at that too

But that's very fight dependent, and as a general rule of thumb, we're at a disadvantage compared to other tanks

golden pollen
#

reprisal is 9.1 right? still gonna be at least a few weeks before we get that

amber siren
#

.5

median tulip
#

9.0.5

golden pollen
#

oh if its 0.5, then wait for that shit lol

#

i thought it was for .1

median tulip
#

I would guess next week or the week after

golden pollen
#

time to save my soul ash, was gonna use it to upgrade unhinged for pvp lol

shrewd elm
#

Ok so bottomline we still can tank +15 and hc raids without suffering too much?

median tulip
#

I've been saving up for a couple of weeks. If it's not next week I should be able to go directly to Rank 4 of Reprisal

compact palm
#

We are really good in raids

dull fossil
#

As little fun I had in M+ I must say... filling in for our OT in Heroic Castle is pretty ok

median tulip
#

Top tier Rank Tank. Use The Wall and laugh at bosses

lusty torrent
#

bottom line, with upcoming changes, we are top 3 at the bare minimum

real veldt
#

You can, although the community perception of prot warriors is such that a lot of M+ groups will reject you.

shrewd elm
#

I got a guild

real veldt
#

The upcoming changes to prot (most notably the redesigned Reprisal legendary) could help to fix that, though

shrewd elm
#

So forming a group is easy

#

Thx guys!

median tulip
#

You can basically do whatever you want in guild groups. I was playing Surv on my hunter earlier today xD

vestal moat
#

Pugging m+ is very doable. It's getting a group that's the hard part.

median tulip
#

Community perception is the problem

golden pollen
#

if u want to pug 15s, use ur own key

#

much easier than trying to pug into a 15 as a prot warrior

#

its doable, just not worth the amount of headache lol

outer solstice
dull fossil
#

bit of a pain to remember where it's working though

outer solstice
#

well without struggling more than other tanks

median tulip
tardy parcel
#

It seems that having a few timed 15s under your belt can help with receiving invites as well. I timed my first 3 with my guild, and pugged the remaining 5 without much issue - none of which were my own key

median tulip
#

Oh definitely

#

and having multiple 15s even moreso

#

one might be a carry. multiples is no accident

#

Reprisal "only" gives shield block for 4 seconds. Was this already known?

astral crystal
#

hm, dont think so

outer solstice
#

20% damage reduction from night fae priests now

#

did I miss that? damn, sounds biiiig

#

Damage of all abilities increased by 10%. Damage of Thunder Clap increased by an additional 10%.

#

why the TC buff though

#

+10% of nothing is still nothing

grand drum
#

20% of nothing*

astral crystal
#

it's not a bad buff tbh

outer solstice
#

21% plz

grand drum
#

yea its basically a free show of force

outer solstice
#

which is pretty bad ^^

#

I wonder what happens if I pop fleshcraft with last stand and rally, will the shield be like 50k then?

gentle notch
#

Does only getting 4 sec from reprisal mean we wont have the mythical 100% uptime?

outer solstice
#

if you want the 100% just go bolster

#

I think mwahi got like 95% and up with AM on PTR

glacial skiff
#

Reprisal has been redesigned – Charge and Intervene grant you Shield Block for 4 seconds, Revenge!, and generates 20 Rage.

#

Goddamit

outer solstice
#

it's still good

glacial skiff
#

Why couldn’t it have been a full shield block

vestal moat
#

Still sounds good for me

gentle notch
#

We talked too much about it

glacial skiff
#

Seismic sounds like a decent dps legendary now tho

slender idol
#

nerfed before we even got to use it lol

glacial skiff
#

Revenge hitting each enemy for 75% if hitting 3+ targets

outer solstice
#

sismic was already good at 40%

late rampart
#

I hope we get to wear 2 legendaries in 9.1 Reprisal plus Seismic 🤤

round vortex
#

Wait, this has probably been there the entire time in the patch notes. But I just saw it now LOL so extra happy for me haha

cloud gorge
#

Nah it was hot fixed yesterday

static shore
#

We’re gonna be kings of m+ with all these buffs ?

glacial skiff
#

I doubt it

weak spindle
#

Just reading patch notes

glacial skiff
#

But we’ll be able to compete IMO

weak spindle
#

Reprisal says for 4 seconds.

#

Was it not 7 or always 4?

burnt bluff
#

Hello fellow banner cucks how you all feeling

#

:^)

mighty valley
#

oh completely missed the 10% to all abilities

#

alright, I'll take that

burnt bluff
#

Warriors are still gonna do piss poor damage

static shore
#

Seismic reverberation, reprisal only cucks use it

burnt bluff
#

But as much as I hate this spec it's not bad in raids

#

and it brings a buff

static shore
#

It’s gonna be the best m+ legendary for sure

burnt bluff
#

so most likely I'll end up playing this shitty spec throwing my banner around

#

🙃

mighty valley
#

imagine putting time into something you hate

:cringe:

static shore
#

Night fae ftw even tho I’m kyrian

burnt bluff
#

I mean

#

I play whats good

#

I have to

round vortex
#

How many of you rerolling banner?

mighty valley
#

wonder if the 10% applies to covenant abilities

compact palm
#

It does

burnt bluff
#

hitting 40 next week right intime to go necro

mighty valley
#

i'm Condemn or die

late rampart
#

Necro prot warrior going to be a must for raid imo. M+ this will help push us from dead last to mid pack maybe?

burnt bluff
#

As much as it hurts you to hear it in raid we are there to bring a buff

#

and now to bring more buffs

#

Can't wait to spend 16 hours a day progging on warrior

#

🙃 🙃 🙃 🙃

compact palm
#

Throw ur salt in the hunter forums my dude they live off it

late rampart
#

it's better than not being brought to raid at all lol

glacial skiff
#

I’m interested in seeing if reprisal will be stronger than new seismic

#

Seriously fuck thunder lord tho

mighty valley
#

i'm there to tank lol, i'm not exactly going for first month cutting edge so i do not care to hop to fotm specs

burnt bluff
#

@main light You're gonna be benched KekW

#

Make way for Hokaine the depressed warrior

mellow patio
#

No one should worry that much about playing what’s good especially if your guild doesn’t have ce yet like why would you play something you don’t enjoy for an average ranking. Nothing wrong with average ranking my guild is there too but if I didn’t enjoy it I’d be unsubbed

static shore
#

Seismic is going to be the shizzle

burnt bluff
#

Oh yeah I'm coming from the very very top right

#

play what u enjoy

glacial skiff
#

I’m thinking seismic with best served cold would be strong for aoe

burnt bluff
#

it really only matters are the super top end

glacial skiff
#

Unsure if you’d use that with reprisal tho

burnt bluff
#

Always play whats fun for you 😛

#

I just want to moan to someone thats all

static shore
#

Why everybody gives a fk about reprisal

glacial skiff
#

Free shield block buddy

compact palm
#

Best served cold will gain value with reprisal aswell

static shore
#

Like you are brought to raids for the god damn buff and your block Miri GAY tion

#

Give people more dmg

burnt bluff
#

Bingo

#

I mean who knows Maybe Havoc is still garbo

stray gazelle
#

did reprisal get nerfed to give shield block to only 4 secs?

burnt bluff
#

and I can stay DH

static shore
#

Wall for raid and seismic for m+

glacial skiff
static shore
#

Lol

mellow patio
#

:cringe:

burnt bluff
#

I'm gay and I'm not offended

#

Spell reflected

dense flame
#

i still think reprisal will be bis for m+

static shore
#

With 34% haste I can have 100 % uptime on block

dense flame
#

its the same argument for dh. DH originally thought the CDR on sigil leggo would be bis b/c you can just kite more and sigil more.

glacial skiff
#

Good for you Kaine, but this is a public discord and it’s not about YOU

pallid isle
#

what about the reduced rage to keep up the block w/ reprisal?

dense flame
#

but FB build does similar dmg and they can face tank a lot longer.

#

i imagine same argument can be made about reprisal vs seismic

sick sentinel
#

So with the Nerco changes, is it going to be BiS for M+ and raiding?

burnt bluff
#

🙃 never said it was

mighty valley
#

you'd need a pretty specific m+ group for it to be anything like optimal there imo

burnt bluff
#

It is done

dense flame
zenith barn
#

im thinking of going necro

#

also will reprisal be worth?

static shore
dense flame
#

tbh i'd prefer to go kyrian. Maybe venthyr wont be bis covenant next tier for dps.

#

for prog*

gentle notch
#

I play with a boomkin all the time and warrior is my main alt so I am just gonna have a good time buffing him with my banner

compact palm
#

Just make him stand next to you in melee simple

indigo crypt
#

is thunderlords > buffed seismic reverb for keys?

mighty valley
#

definitely better for keys that are actually dangerous. if we end up speed grinding +14s for valor maybe seismic is good

compact palm
#

Wait the patch is dropping tues

mighty valley
#

yuppppp

compact palm
#

Holy up

stray gazelle
#

i can see seismic being super good but that doesn't help that we still squishy with no sb up

heavy sail
#

Seismic is a better damage buff.

#

And thunderlords doesn’t have a use case at all with reprisal existing

#

So it’s not worth equating

lavish oracle
#

I just ran a whole SD 15 with AM talented instead of Bolster and didn't realize until the last boss >.>

heavy sail
#

Shows how useful that talent is

lavish oracle
#

I was wondering why I was getting hit so hard on some packs, turns out I just had 0 mitigation up, lmao

mighty valley
#

"shield wall is up AGAIN...?"

lavish oracle
#

nah, my healer is just an absolute gamer

#

5k overall healing end of dungeon, 2k overall DPS

#

living the hpal dream

mighty valley
#

every healer I run with struggles in the kaalway a bit except our holy paladin, who just goes ultra instinct

heavy sail
#

5k overall is pretty high for hpally

lavish oracle
#

They just literally never spend mana either, haha

#

it's so funny

heavy sail
#

Yeah mana is totally irrelevant

#

They also don’t cast, ever.

#

Very balanced gameplay

open monolith
#

So with the Reprisal nerf it's still.. pretty good, right?

heavy sail
#

I haven’t seen the nerf

lavish oracle
#

did they balance it?

heavy sail
#

What is it

open monolith
#

Maybe no longer mandatory for m+?

#

4 seconds of shield block

#

Rather than full duration

#

Otherwise the same

lavish oracle
#

Mmmm, still pretty much mandatory, I think

compact palm
#

Still saves more rage then other options

merry ocean
#

Why cant they leave things nice

open monolith
#

I mean, that still is nice

glacial skiff
#

It’s only 2 seconds less

open monolith
#

It was absolutely op

#

Now it seems... Good

glacial skiff
#

So not that bad

open monolith
#

Not op, but really good

#

More in line with guardian legendaries

lavish oracle
#

still seems like you just always take it but I dunno

heavy sail
#

Yeah definitely still always take it

compact palm
#

Seems likely they would've nerfed it to that when next tier hot anyway

lavish oracle
#

quick shhh

glacial skiff
#

So you’ll now get 40 rage from each charge with reprisal right

lavish oracle
#

everyone downplay it now

#

Aw man! The dream is dead!

#

prot warrior is bad again!

#

aw shucks

lavish hare
#

🤣🤣🤣

open monolith
#

Does it grant 20 ADDITIONAL rage? Or just... Changes the value to 20?

stiff osprey
#

So it prot warrior back?!

lavish oracle
#

20 additional

open monolith
#

I'll be dropping stormbolt for double charge

#

And bounding strode

compact palm
#

20rage free revenge(20) and free block (30)

open monolith
#

Charge is now a defensive

lavish hare
lavish oracle
#

Also, looks like it still grants SB for 6 seconds on PTR?

open monolith
#

Ptr < official patch release notes

lavish oracle
#

I mean, typos happen sometimes

lavish hare
#

So charge with Avatar, you just spam revenge and tc and all is yours. With double time.... uh lala

open monolith
#

Maybe.

glacial skiff
#

Yeah tbh I think reprisal will be the play over seismic

open monolith
#

But you know as well as I do that a full 6 seconds was overpowered

#

And I'm sure blizzard knew that as well

glacial skiff
#

Unless you’re just doing easy content

#

And with more rage I’m thinking best served cold will gain value

vague jetty
#

I mean

#

Even with 4s

#

you can likely still keep 95% uptime

lavish hare
#

4 secs is more than enough to a pull or a intervene, we still have 2 charges on 13 secs, scaling with haste and Last stand with bolsetring

vague jetty
#

without bolster

lavish hare

Especially since booming will be a 45s CD baseline

lavish oracle
#

20 seconds of extra SB every minute is still huge

compact palm
#

Seismic for numbers and Mabey if running with a shammy since they broken enough u can be risky

lavish hare
#

We are unstopable again

lavish oracle
#

way better than Bolster

lavish hare
#

😬

open monolith
#

So if you take double time, you can basically get 2 full Shield blocks for free per pack, ish

lavish oracle
#

Well, nah, not really

#

because double time charges don't recharge independently

#

they're stacks

glacial skiff
#

Double time will also gain value here

lavish oracle
#

so you have to wait 2 full recharges to get 2 charges of it back

open monolith
#

Yeah... Depend on how long it takes you to clear each pack i guess

glacial skiff
#

Curious if AM or bolster will be better at that rate

merry ocean
#

it lowers the CD on charge too

open monolith
#

Charge is what.. 15 sec recharge?

lavish oracle
#

with reprisal, you're just going to be casting it on CD in M+, double time'll still be the go-to in raid, though

lavish hare
#

You can charge, spam revenge, intervene to kite then charge back i mean...

glacial skiff
#

I’m also confused why nobody ever takes heavy repercussions

lavish hare
#

With big packs like DoS for example

#

Will be king

glacial skiff
#

Sure it’s rng kinda but still huge gains

lavish oracle
#

@glacial skiff Because the way it gives you SB duration is unreliable

amber herald
lavish oracle
#

and that's bad with regards to our gameplay loop

#

Oh, shit, it's march 9th?

heavy sail
#

It basically just takes the uptime down from 100%, which is exactly what we all expected really.

lavish oracle
#

that's sooner than I thought

heavy sail
#

Yeah next reset

lavish hare
#

Yep, next week

amber herald
#

but I haven't farmed the soul ash yet

compact palm
#

Samr

#

Reee

lavish hare
#

How many souls for a 235 i forgot

open monolith
#

We still probably take anger management now, yeah?

wary raft
#

Whats SB uptime looking to be with it only granting 4 secs

heavy sail
#

Yeah @open monolith

compact palm
#

5k

open monolith
#

5150 for rank 4

midnight stone
#

5k or something for a fresh 235

lavish hare
#

I’ll@still keep Bolster, its just master

lavish hare
open monolith
#

With proper play I don't think you'll need bolster at all

lavish oracle
#

How much haste would you need to have 100% SB uptime with reprisal?

heavy sail
#

It’s a 33% nerf to the uptime of the legendary alone, I CBA to do the maths on that

lavish hare
#

Its just that Im not a pro, so the more mitigation I have, the more I stay alive and all stay happy hehe. So I have Bolster, SB, IP, Wall and scale for now hehehe

heavy sail
#

But it’s probably somewhere around 85% now

open monolith
#

It's hiiiiiigh

lavish oracle
#

doable

compact palm
#

85 still high yesh

lavish hare
#

With Orb from Spires and 10% of Troll racial, doable

lavish oracle
#

I've got a 226 emitter

sick sentinel
#

do you guys think that reprisal is going to beat out the wall and/or thunderlord now?

lavish oracle
#

hell ye

heavy sail
#

Yes

#

The wall is still going to be your raiding legendary, that hasn’t changed

lavish hare
heavy sail
#

But reprisal for m+ is still the play

wary raft
#

Is warrior going to contend with other tanks now for the meta spot or is DH still too far ahead?

heavy sail
#

DH probably still ahead

lavish oracle
#

I don't know if I buy "The Wall is still the raiding legendary"

#

depends on the fight

lavish hare
#

And I mean, 10% increased dmg and 20% on TC is awsome

heavy sail
#

Reprisal just requires forced movement to be most effective, and forced movement while actively tanking.

sick sentinel
#

i usually run the dogs on huntsman so im definitely using reprisal there

lavish oracle
#

is not actually that bad, most of the time

heavy sail
#

So it’s not ideal at all.

#

It just depends

lavish oracle
#

most fights have you moving anyways, or in a situation where moving out and back in quickly isn't actually a big problem

sick sentinel
#

oooo reprisal will be hella good on sludgefist too

lavish hare
#

I believe reprisal will be more M+ focused. Cause you will be tanking all the time. When you have to switch tanks it loses its potential in my opinion

heavy sail
#

On fights where correct movement and boss positioning is critical it shouldn’t be used.

#

There are some fights in CN where it works well, though.

lavish hare
#

You have to move away from sludge when he slams and charge back, but thats it

heavy sail
#

But SLG/Council/Sire

#

It’s a no-go

lavish hare
#

You would benefit more from the wall i believe

#

Constant rage generation and SW every minute or so

sick sentinel
#

I honestly think you couldn't go wrong with either leggo on sludge

plush tendon
#

Is it time to switch to Necro now???

amber herald
#

If you want to

#

the change brings them on par with the other covenants because currently necro isn't as good

heavy sail
#

I would say it’s probably the best now, but that’s dependent on you and who you play with.

amber herald
#

which one is bis is debateable

plush tendon
#

Anything not to be Kyrian anymore

heavy sail
#

If you have a dedicated group of guildmates or friends to play m+ with, definitely the play.

#

Banner just requires a tiny bit of coordination to use properly.

plush tendon
#

Yea, I dont have to pug

amber herald
#

I think I'm going to change for the dungeon buffs more than anything

heavy sail
#

Which is asking a lot of pugs

amber herald
#

no one I play with is necro

late rampart
#

do you think vers/mastery will be best with the high SB uptime of reprisal? Or still need a good chunk of haste to help get towards 100% uptime?

plush tendon
#

and we have 5 druids in our raid group sooooo

heavy sail
#

Reprisal devalues haste but I’m not sure how much.

plush tendon
#

usually 1-2 boomies in any key I do XD

heavy sail
#

Considering the nerf I’d say haste still has its place as the top priority.

zenith barn
#

so will reprisal be good for raid?

heavy sail
#

But that’s just a guess I have no idea

#

@zenith barn depends on the fight.

vague jetty
#

Depends on content

#

Reprisal is likely overkill on content you outgear

valid kraken
#

I'm going necro just cuz I'm bored of kyrian and I usually do m+ with the same 5-6 ppl

heavy sail
#

If you’re on farm and outgearing it go for seismic and get those 99 parses

plush tendon
#

Yea, just wondering do I restart the renown grind now

#

or next week

heavy sail
#

If you want to, man.

#

Up to you.

zenith barn
#

soooooo i could make the reprisal leggo and just use it for m+ and raids

plush tendon
#

noooo personal respoonsibility!!!!

heavy sail
#

If you swapped now you’d have a small renown lead on people who waited for 9.0.5 to actually drop

#

So I guess there’s a benefit

amber herald
#

the wall will still be the general use leggo I reckon

#

it's good now for that

heavy sail
#

Reprisal can be used for raids.

#

But there are fights where it has very limited use

late rampart
#

Yeah, I feel you should definitely have another legendary ready like the wall for raids

mossy peak
#

i feel like you'd only need to be doing reprisal in raid if you were solo tanking

late rampart
#

some fights reprisal is just not going to get proper use

heavy sail
#

So if you want to just use a legendary and turn your brain off, go with Wall

late rampart
#

for fights where you can get the use, I feel reprisal is best.

mossy peak
#

getting higher uptime on shield block doesn't matter when you are sharing the boss and your downtime is irrelevant

late rampart
#

Likely having the wall and reprisal is necessary though. And who knows what the fights will be in 9.1. Anyone's guess.

heavy sail
#

I’d throw TL in the bin and craft Reprisal, Seismic and The Wall

#

Just as general advice

mossy peak
#

yeah thunderlord is what gets dumped

compact palm
#

Sludge fist Pepexecute

mossy peak
#

reprisal is the clear winner for overall m+ tanking

#

and frankly puts prot on the map as a contender, albeit not to a vdh degree

heavy sail
#

The actual net damage that banner gives could make us potentially dish out more damage.

#

But it’s hard to quantify

#

There’s always going to be a ton of variables there

compact palm
#

Banner is pi without the sad emoji

#

Or scaling

solemn magnet
#

i know i'm going to not like it, but should i give IQD a try in this case?

mossy peak
#

personally i find gluttonous to be super fat

#

it does a notable % of healing and damage

solemn magnet
#

yeah it do

mossy peak
#

can't speak for anime field

solemn magnet
#

anime is legit

heavy sail
#

Spike is one of those trinkets that sounds good but isn’t, really.

mossy peak
#

but i can't imagine you'd want IQD over it

heavy sail
#

I think you’d be better off with IQD

#

But neither are ideal

mossy peak
#

spike as prot is great

#

spike as dps, no

solemn magnet
#

spike is currently 5% of my healing and 2.5% dmg overall

compact palm
#

But with the power of anime and kyrians on your side

heavy sail
#

Get an absorb my mans

compact palm
#

How can u lose

solemn magnet
#

i'm trying...

open monolith
#

Reprisal represents 100 rage per minute, and 20 seconssdof shield block per minute (and 5 free revenges) if not using double time.

heavy sail
#

Yup it’s insane

#

Even post nerf

vague jetty
#

That also assumes that you can charge on cd

compact palm
#

It gives us time to get agro without getting slapped it's insane

open monolith
#

Of course you can charge on cooldown

vague jetty
#

How would that work on sludge?

heavy sail
#

Intervene a caster, charge back in.

lavish hare
heavy sail
#

Or leap

compact palm
#

U intervene offtsnk and get smorcced

open monolith
#

Who cares about raid?

#

Reprisal is a mythic plus legendary

vague jetty
#

um

open monolith
#

"um"

#

Nice input

compact palm
#

Run the wall in raid

vague jetty
#

You have just nullified anything else you same from this point on

mossy peak
#

we're still not gonna be gods of damage berimba, that's why i said we aren't top tier

#

but we are dragged out of the gutter for sure

open monolith
#

No, I really didn't.

compact palm
#

Respect points lost

#

GTA style

heavy sail
#

If banner survives future tuning passes, double prot might be a thing for the next raid tier

open monolith
#

Reprisal is okay on some fights, but definitely not all. Shield block uptime isn't really needed on like... Any raid fight except Sire

lavish hare
heavy sail
#

It wouldn’t surprise me if limit or BDGG did something like that

lavish hare
#

Anima with scale and you are bis for M+

compact palm
#

Generally a final phase could be ok

#

General's

lavish oracle
#

I think Max was saying they'd probably need a brew next raid if WW changes go live the way they are

mossy peak
#

I mean the very next thing i said was I wouldn't pick that IQD over it

heavy sail
#

Yeah depends if WW survives

#

And havoc as well obviously

lavish oracle
#

Havoc I think is 100% playable for the buff, rn

heavy sail
#

Agreed

open monolith
#

Anything is playable

lavish oracle
#

I mean for WF

open monolith
#

cries in survival alt

lavish oracle
#

we're talking about WF raid comps

mossy peak
#

are you caught in a time warp and responding from five minutes ago

open monolith
#

Max won't say anything TRUE about what he thinks about next WF comp

outer spoke
open monolith
#

He even said on one of his recent streams that he always lies about what he thinks is good until after the race

lavish oracle
#

the 5% magic damage buff they give @outer spoke

open monolith
#

So anything he says at this point about the next world first comp you probably shouldn't take seriously

outer spoke
#

Ah ok, thougt their rng buff leggo right now 😂

lavish oracle
#

you need 1 in a raid comp and it's probably better to play Havoc than WW

open monolith
#

Why?

heavy sail
#

It’s true about WW though, if they aren’t shitting out damage there’s no advantage to bringing them over BrM

open monolith
#

Doesn't WW completely dunk on havoc?

lavish oracle
#

they fixed a bug with WW on PTR that destroys its ability to do multitarget

heavy sail
#

So your tank comp is completely dependent on WW tuning

lavish hare
#

In DoS (14’s ok? Not the huge content you prob play) Fortified, first pull. Whats working for me is charge with avatar and Last Stand on Bolstering. This is huge mitigation pull spamming IP. After that on second pull got SW available again with IP. This shit is saving my ass. With reprisal I just see things even more smooth with less effort

late rampart
#

WW is losing a lot of damage in 9.0.5 due to "bug fixes"

lavish oracle
#

absolutely deletes its Weapons of Order opener

open monolith
#

Ah didn't read that. I skip monk notes

late rampart
#

at this point looks like prot warrior/brew for WF race. But a lot can change still. 9.1 will come with a lot of tuning changes also I believe

amber herald
#

is the 4s duration new?

late rampart
#

it was undocumented sock. Kinda has WW community up in arms. Understandably so

mossy peak
#

tuning aside i definitely would bet on prot+brew

lavish oracle
compact palm
#

20percent aoe nerf

sharp zealot
#

@amber herald wait the change I saw was just shield block

open monolith
#

@amber herald yes

lavish oracle
#

@amber herald Yes

#

Still very good

sharp zealot
#

so 20 seconds instead of 30

#

every minute

lavish oracle
#

still like 93% SB uptime or something along those lines

mossy peak
#

yeah i don't think the nerf changes anything

amber herald
#

probably a correct change seemed a little too strong before

lavish oracle
#

just based on really quick napkin math

lavish hare
sharp zealot
#

still reprisal for M+ tanking?

amber herald
#

93% with bolster or without?

lavish oracle
#

without

amber herald
#

lol

plush saffron
#

reprisal for all tanking

broken stratus
#

is the thunder clap rooting change coming live?

amber herald
#

what's the playstyle going to be like with reprisal?

open monolith
#

@broken stratus that was just you misreading the patch notes

amber herald
#

the thunder clap root thing is the pvp talent

#

I misread it too

open monolith
#

That was talking about the PvP talent

lavish oracle
#

kinda like momentum for Havoc DH but for tanking :d

lavish hare
#

Leap and charge again

#

Like this will work for reprisal

amber herald
#

double-time? 🤢

plush saffron
#

Avatar and UF or Ravager over Fray and Bolster probably and perhaps Best Served Cold over Booming Voice

heavy sail
#

Yup

open monolith
#

Fuck UF

heavy sail
#

If double time means SB uptime, gotta take it

lavish hare
#

☝🏼☝🏼

lavish oracle
#

Nah

amber herald
#

the change does make double-time more appealing but losing stormbolt in m+ is kinda big

lavish hare
#

Leave the stuns to dps’s hehe

amber herald
#

as if

heavy sail
#

Depends on the comp as to whether or not I would take it

lavish hare
#

We still have shockwave, pummel. And I believe pummel is redisigned too? Like a 3 sec silence?

heavy sail
#

If I’m playing with an outlaw there’s no real reason.

#

Stormbolt becomes a bit redundant

lavish oracle
#

Nah, I don't think you can ever have enough ST stuns in a group

#

Well, okay, if you could have like 12 or something, that's probably too many 😄

mossy peak
#

sounds like MOP pvp

amber herald
#

is it 93% uptime with double-time?

late rampart
#

it will be interesting to see what haste breakpoint for reaching 100% SB uptime with reprisal, because haste falls off on value after that

outer spoke
#

What is the amount of soul ash for r3 leggo?

astral geyser
outer spoke
#

Patch is one week too fast for me 🤦‍♂️

#

Thx buddy

lavish hare
#

Do I have to craft another leggo? Or can I upgrade a late Thinderlord feet with new Reprisal?

plush saffron
#

craft another

lavish hare
#

😒

open monolith
#

Imagine not saving soul ash for inevitable legendary buffs

#

Day 1 rank 4 reprisal whoooooo

plush saffron
#

you'll be using the wall anyway ey

open monolith
#

N....no?

potent anvil
#

Reprisal owns deswind

open monolith
#

It owns 33% less than it did on ptr

#

But it still owns

plush saffron
open monolith
#

Uh huh, and?

mossy peak
#

you don't use it in raid, you use it in m+

open monolith
#

I primarily do m+ on my warrior

#

So

mossy peak
#

that doesn't suddenly make it bad

open monolith
#

???

plush saffron
#

haha you'll be using it in raid

open monolith
#

N....no?

plush saffron
#

Y...yes?

mossy peak
#

maybe on a fight or two, you largely will use the wall

#

any time you have another tank with you, more shield block uptime doesn't do a whole lot

#

you just move your downtime to, you know, your actual downtime

dapper coral
#

sorry I'm late to the party, but on the official notes is Reprisal nerfed? 4 seconds of SB instead of full duration?

open monolith
#

Yes

plush saffron
#

like what fights dpg?

open monolith
#

Like every fight with swaps

plush saffron
#

so like the early ones?

open monolith
#

Like literally every single fight with swaps where you aren't tanking

#

Which is a lot

plush saffron
#

all at the start of the raid where you can run no legendary if you want to

open monolith
#

Furthermore, most of the raid fights don't hit hard enough to need all that extra shield block uptime

plush saffron
#

with reprisal you won't need shield wall as much

dapper coral
#

against physical damage*

plush saffron
#

which is most of the damage you receive

dapper coral
#

blockable, physical damage*

civic torrent
#

Only issue I have where Reprisal is gonna shine is on a fight like Sludge, where you want to block every hit

plush saffron
#

the odd time you need a DR for other just call for an external

#

better than yoyoing from autos

civic torrent
#

But you have no intervene targets

#

and you dont want to leap out/charge

open monolith
#

You can intervene anyone in melee range

plush saffron
#

you can charge, just let the other tank run forward of you then charge in

civic torrent
#

Then you turn the boss around right, and ur melee get bopped cos of his passive

plush saffron
#

wont break chains if done right

dapper coral
#

We're progging on M Slugde now, and my Monk co-tank always rolls b/c he greeds BoK

open monolith
#

When you run out for stomp, intervene your cotank

#

You won't move

#

You'll still get buff

unborn agate
#

Still looks like it's the play in M+ tho right?

civic torrent
#

juice

open monolith
#

Yes prog

unborn agate
#

Noice

dapper coral
#

I swear the tank chains are more lenient than everyone else's

civic torrent
#

All I'm gonna say is, jfc, im excited for it on Sire

#

really feel the lack of SB uptime on that fight

open monolith
#

Will for sure be solid on sire

oblique pike
#

idk if i would use reprisal if i didnt have a melee in my M+ group

open monolith
#

Why?

plush saffron
#

lol

open monolith
#

Intervene out charge back in

#

Or intervene someone standing right next to you before you charge in

dapper coral
#

For Reprisal, when pulling a new pack, it's gonna be Charge > Revenge > TC > whatever, right?

open monolith
#

Prob still shield block first for rage

#

Get it on CD

dapper coral
#

I'm only now picking up warrior but I've been tanking this whole expac on Paladin/Bear

#

Shield Slam, not block, right?

open monolith
#

Yes

#

That

plush saffron
#

lol dont do that

dapper coral
#

dat pandemic

plush saffron
#

need to get aoe aggro quicker

oblique pike
#

sb doesnt work on pandemic iirc, it just has a higher cap

plush saffron
#

run show of force, revenge and then TC should have aoe aggro quick

dapper coral
#

SB pandemics

civic torrent
#

I assume it'll be Intervene a friendly, charge, SB + Revenge as you get in then tank as normal

#

you'll have ~10s of SB updtime as soon as you walk in

#
  • like 60 rage at the start of a pack
#

as ur sb gets low, leap out and charge back in

plush saffron
#

do it on intervene/charge cd

oblique pike
#

SB does not use traditional pandemic rules

civic torrent
#

sb is just additional

oblique pike
#

duration gets added, but nothing like pandemic

civic torrent
#

it always just adds the timer

plush saffron
#

pop last stand at start as well if its a long fight and you're tanking the whole time

#

if running bolstering

#

but prob can run avatar with reprisal

civic torrent
#

I always run avatar

oblique pike
#

IIRC, it was a while ago, but i think last time they changed it, SB's max duration is capped at 3x cast duration, so 6x3=18 seconds?

plush saffron
#

nah its unlimited now

#

that was for brews

civic torrent
#

can easily test on training dummy

#

with Bolster

#

you get 15s + a SB charge

plush saffron
#

i got it to 35s on PTR with reprisal

shut summit
#

yea bolster is only thing that lets you get past 18sec cap

dapper coral
#

I assume Resprisal should go on Legs, come reset?

plush saffron
#

depends if you have the SLG legs

#

yeah cant get past 18s with SB alone on PTR so that cap is still in

oblique pike
#

tested on live, got to 21 seconds SB with bolster + 2x SB casts

#

idk how uncapped it is, but it seems to no longer be the 3x base duration

plush saffron
#

bolster will take it over the cap

drifting forge
#

Sorry if it's been asked, is Kyrian still the go to in 9.0.5 or will necro have a chance with the changes?

civic torrent
#

I think someone said earlier only Bolster lets you go over cap

shut summit
#

that only happens with bolster, you cant get above 18sec otherwise

oblique pike
#

do you just mean it's impossible to even theoretically reach it because of SB cd?

#

or if when reprisal goes live, we wouldn't be able to go above 18 seconds with double charge + intervene + 2x sb and somehow bolster is an exception to the rule

plush saffron
#

you can get to 18s with SB casts and Bolster will take you to 33s

shut summit
#

your 2nd statement

plush saffron
#

just sb casts or the buff through reprisal will cap at 18s

shut summit
#

reprisal only gives 4secs of SB as well now iirc

astral crystal
#

who's taking the walk of shame to maldraxxus this sunday

plush saffron
#

nah, its overrated a bit

i have already told my guild i will not go simp warrior

plush saffron

350 mastery to 2 ppl, they wont even notice

civic torrent
#

I play arms too, so staying as Venthyr

plush saffron
#

i'm NF for the mogs

#

but the abilities and soulbinds are good

oblique pike
#

im nf cuz its the only tank that can reasonably be nf and i wanted at least 1 tank in each covenant

plush saffron
#

dont play bear?

oblique pike
#

i play venthy bear cuz im missing brain cells

plush saffron
#

haha

#

that looks fun

oblique pike
#

i dont like the randomness of bear form convoke, but enjoy the dumbass shit i can do every 3 min as venthyr

zenith barn
#

going full on hype train gnna go necro and make reprisal

plush saffron
#

just do 5 pack pulls with URF and incarn

oblique pike
#

yuuuup

sick sentinel
#

How many seconds can you stack on shield block

plush saffron
#

18s

oblique pike
#

apparently 18 seconds outside of using bolstering

limpid dagger
#

Is there a consensus on HR's value with reprisal?

median tulip
plush saffron
#

id probably keep haste for lower GCD and CDs

#

dont really need mastery or crit

median tulip
torn gust
#

hecc 4 seconds

feral gale
#

Bolster will still have a lot of value in keys with reprisal

plush saffron
#

not really with all the gaps between pulls

oblique pike
#

I think if you can safely and reliably use reprisal well, you'd be losing too much by going bolster

vestal rampart
#

alright so help a newb out here, do i save all my ash for reprisal or do I build the wall first still

plush saffron
#

go repirsal

feral gale
#

If you raid build wall imo

outer spoke
#

So how would be a big pull be like? For example 1 pack DoS pre intervene and charge with avatar, revenge , tc, ss, sb smashing dmg group kille? 😂

oblique pike
#

i'd wait for the patch to drop, cuz they might last second change it

plush saffron
#

reprisal is better than the wall for raiding as well

feral gale
#

Wut

astral crystal
#

uhh

#

doubt that

plush saffron
#

and it will let you take AM which will lower SW CD anyway

open monolith
#

Build the wall for raiding for sure, reprisal for m+

sharp zealot
#

so uh

open monolith
#

Wall if you plan to do both equally

sharp zealot
#

if I stay Venthyr

astral crystal
#

if you're zip zoopin around in raid something wrong's going on

sharp zealot
#

does that hurt my ability to tank M+ for my group?

vestal rampart
#

thanks. i'm like 90% m+

astral crystal
#

or youre just doing normal/heroic

sharp zealot
#

With missing Necro banner + Fleshcraft

feral gale
#

Yeah big doubt, wall gives you like 5 SWs a fight

plush saffron
#

who cares

#

its about make incoming dmg be consistent

#

having holes in your SB doesnt do that

astral crystal
#

lol alright

median tulip
open monolith
#

Yeah you definitely take Wall in raid.

vestal rampart
#

yeah

you realize you have to charge/intervene for it right

feral gale
#

No? You need to soak busters and smooth big incomings lol

vestal rampart
#

alright i'll build wall first. Thanks guys. back to lurking and info-sponge mode

feral gale
#

With into the fray you should have super high Sb coverage already

median tulip
plush saffron
#

you boys will see

open monolith

narrator: they wont

However, running reprisal could be a thing if you’re progging sludge

#

i currently run wall + AM in m+ but i'm only 1400 io on my warr and dont raid at all

Intervene your cotank and basically block constantly

Someone explain why the FUCK they made this change:

The formula for determining the level of the first Mythic Keystone players receive each week has been adjusted.

Previously, players would always receive a Keystone 1 level below the highest they'd completed so far in Season 1.

After this change, Keystone level will continue to decrease by 1 per week until players again complete a higher level Keystone.

For example, a player who completes a level 15 Keystone will receive a level 14 Keystone the following week. If they do not complete a 15 or higher Keystone that week, they will receive a level 13 Keystone the week after.

This shit benefits literally nobody.

feral gale

Much smoother

plush saffron
#

so people will do more keys per week

oblique pike
#

it benefits blizzard by makign you do more keys

open monolith
#

It doesn't though

oblique pike
#

LOOK AT ALL THESE ACTIVE PLAYERS

modern hearth
#

so is the play for m+ in 9.0.5 going to be, reprisal and necrolord??

open monolith
#

It just makes you do one higher key, not necessarily more

torpid moon
#

is 9.0.5 next tuesday?

open monolith
outer spoke
#

Covenants are all fine play what u want

feral gale
#

In theory you’d be doing 4 a week for 2 choices unless you’re giga lazy

yea, the pot is also preeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetty yuge

median tulip

#

Druids convoke in melee range anyway though, it’s valid if you run unholy dk and boomie with simp banner

vestal rampart
#

necrolord mogs are so dope though

limber python
#

the druid can get out before using cds its a 15 sec buff after you cast it

feral gale
waxen ice
#

Nerf on reprisal from 6 sec block to 4 xD

median tulip
#

Yup

#

But TBH it's still a really good legendary

#

So I'll take it

waxen ice
#

Very much so

oblique pike
#

not gonna lie, im pretty sure i'm gonna end up just sticking with the wall for m+ in 9.0.5. pretty sure i'm gonna be too lazy to make FULL use of it

#

losing st stun and wall cd is probably not worth it since i'm not doing particularly high keys

median tulip
#

effectively, a charge with nuReprisal gives you the equivalent of 80 Rage (20 Base Rage, 20 raw from Reprisal, 20 saved from the free Revenge proc, and 20 saved from 2/3rds of a Shield Block charge).

Intervene is worth 60.

Effectively speaking, nuReprisal adds up to 300 Rage/min to your Rage budget.

shy mulch
plush saffron
#

not at all

grand drum
#

no

waxen ice
#

It is still very manageable to keep a high up-time of SB and it will be fun

median tulip
oblique pike
#

doesnt the new reprisal not give free revenge proc?

plush saffron
#

DT gives a 3s reduction to CD

median tulip
plush saffron
#

it gives the proc, doesnt give the 200% Damage increase anymore

frank spoke
#

yea like isnt it an easy choice for raiding, taking reprisal that is

median tulip
plush saffron
#

I think so Eva, other people dont

oblique pike
#

o, i thought they removed that, idk why

frank spoke
#

it seems to be such a good legendary even with the tiny nerf to it

median tulip
#

It's certainly going to be a strong M+ choice

torn gust
#

ye

median tulip
#

I'm still going to be running The Wall in Raid though

torn gust
#

ye

frank spoke
#

how come?

mossy peak
#

because you have a co-tank and don't need 100% uptime

#

shield wall makes you mitigate more when you need it

frank spoke
#

yea thats a really good point actually

median tulip
#

Because a) I'm not doing charge and intervene dancing on a raid boss, and b) I like my Shield Wall

oblique pike
#

also idk if i would say reprisal gives 20 rage saved from revenge, it just gives... damage of a revenge. in most cases i don't think i'd be casting revenge otherwise

plush saffron
#

a lot of fights are 100% uptime towards the back end of the raid

oblique pike
#

and it doesnt count towards AM for rage used

shy mulch
ocean yoke
#

yeah theres so many swaps that it is almost always fine as is

solemn magnet
#

You don't use am in m+

oblique pike
#

i do

torn gust
#

hecc yeah double time

median tulip

hurry, someone else quote him and tell him double time reduces charge cd by 3 seconds

shy mulch
#

Didn’t see that sorry. I still think for M+ storm boot is pretty damn good.

frank spoke
#

you all ready to become boomer simps ?

lusty karma
#

thoughts on reprisal change?

shy mulch
#

Bolt

shy mulch
lusty karma
#

guessing it'll still be good

#

maybe 99% to what 90%

oblique pike
#

im staying NF. reprisal only if i have a melee dps in my M+ group

median tulip
#

I simply do not think Bolster will be necessary for Shield Block uptime when running nuReprisal, so Anger Management for better Avatar uptime (& to compensate for the loss of The Wall's Shield Wall CDR) will be a good play

oblique pike
#

im not risking turning my ass to mobs while intervening someone out in range just to get benefits of reprisal

ocean yoke
#

i already know ill be going through massive shield wall withdrawl the first time i try new reprisal

median tulip
oblique pike
#

also probably not going to bother in most dungeons on tyr week

median tulip
#

My starting point for talents with nuReprisal will be x112x31 I think

#

Maybe x112x11

plush saffron
#

will have to see how UF stacks up now

oblique pike
#

does best served cold proc off of reprisal free revenge?

#

cuz technically you didnt' parry or dodge to get it

plush saffron
#

should do

solemn magnet
#

You'd get the 20% from bsc

median tulip
oblique pike
#

so? bolster gives the same buff as sb but breaks duration limit rules

plush saffron
#

yes

oblique pike
#

it being the same buff doesn't mean shit imo

plush saffron
#

it goes off revenge!

#

so its 50% from bsc

median tulip
#

It's certainly going to be one of the things to test next week

#

But I expect - as @plush saffron says - that it just works off the Revenge! buff

plush saffron
#

ill test now on ptr

median tulip
#

or that

#

xD

plush saffron
#

yeah it works off reprisal revenge
