Im really enjoying sub rogue atm peepoHappy

compact palm
#

I liked demo in mop

delicate thorn
#

sub rogue is fun to play

sweet summit
#

Altho playing sub is kinda inting, but fuck em

compact palm
#

The new demo is sad man

median tulip

I mained Lock for the first half of BfA. Fucking awful class, glad to see the back of it.

ionic fern
sweet summit
#

Outlaw is just better

compact palm
#

Sub is bad in everything but pvp

delicate thorn
#

Sub was amazing in SL beta, but Blizzard didn't want it to be like that apparently

sweet summit
#

Its not terrible

#

Theres just better specs in the same class

compact palm
#

Its not survival hunter true

delicate thorn
#

@sweet summit I main Holy Priest so I know that feeling

sweet summit
#

Ye

compact palm
#

Omg limit max healer reveiw

sweet summit
#

I accidentally did a key with a holy priest the other day lmao

median tulip
#

Surv is surprisingly fun, and on packs it's DPS can be surprising. But single target it's absolutely shite

sweet summit
#

He was owning

delicate thorn
#

The Holy Priests that know what they are doing are great

compact palm
#

Holy preists biggest strenghth they can just spec holy

delicate thorn
#

I've mained Holy for 16 years so I might know what I'm doing

compact palm
#

Disc*

compact palm
#

Holy priest is objectively more fun then disc

sweet summit
#

Fun is not objective

compact palm
#

Not to mention In 2s they rock

wind surge
#

Spirit shell is funny

compact palm
#

Subjectively*

median tulip
#

I have a bad habit of finding the worst spec of any given class to be the most fun to play

compact palm
#

Same

sweet summit
#

I dont do content high enough for that to matter idc yep

delicate thorn
#

@median tulip There are several of us!

median tulip
#

I've honestly found people in +5 and below keys are the worst at insisting on meta specs only

compact palm
#

That's crazy

wind surge
#

Gotta love when they put

#

Pushing key !!!! For a 7

sudden current
#

'checking rio' on a 5 are my fav

#

Alts dont even have main score most times

sudden current
median tulip
#

I went to help a guild member with a +4 and one of the random DPS was saying - over and over - that we were going to fail because "Warrior is bad tank".

This is a 215 Protection Warrior, in +4 DOS. :face_with_rolling_eyes:

ionic fern
#

Jeah, it's unfortunate. ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

Even on higher keys there are still some players who leave after seeing a protection warrior tank.

๐Ÿ˜‚

sweet summit
#

Sad times ):

compact palm
#

U didn't lose much

#

They don't have the IQ to think for themselves u prob didn't want them

median tulip

I mostly stick to guild runs of M+

#

Voice Comms is a huge force multiplier

ionic fern
compact palm
#

Very amusing but also yikes

pine marsh
compact palm
#

I was speaking objectively I know it has good things

#

Just other classes do those better

wind surge
#

Sub is good cause it can spec outlaw

compact palm
#

True

median tulip
#

The problem becomes that inviting meta classes to a PUG is a lottery; you might get a really good player who absolutely annihiliates the enemies, or you might get a meta slave who can't play the class and performs really badly.

compact palm
#

Holy is good because it can spec disc

#

Demo lock is good because it can spec affliction

pine marsh
#

So warrior is not good at all

sweet summit
#

5% AP

compact palm
#

We're good because we can cast battleshout and get kicked

pine marsh
#

Not much but honest work

compact palm
#

Or locks can create healthstone and get kicked

#

Real talk that has happened to my lock more then I wanna say

sweet summit
#

Lmao

clever shuttle
#

Wowhead writer saying the intervene legendary is better for both content?

sweet summit
#

If you can consistently charge/intervene and the damage intake is mostly blockable yeah

#

The wall is still very strong in raid scenarios tho

clever shuttle
#

Yeah I used it on sludge fist the other night, got 4 uses out of a 5 minute fight

ionic fern
#

Reprisal is a DPS increase over The Wall if you can utilise Intervene/Charge properly.
Yes, it can be good in Raid fights that allow this kind of movement.

Before 9.0.5???

Or do you mean the wall?

clever shuttle
#

The wall sorry *

sweet summit
#

Oh ok yeah

crisp dragon
#

How big a dps increase is it tho? Is it poggers?

jagged pier
#

well u run AM and BSC with it so its pretty poggies

sweet summit
#

~5% iirc

lofty widget
#

how much cdr is AM compared to the wall on specifically SW?

sweet summit
#

Both are nearly 50%

#

So u get sw on 1 min cd

remote dawn
#

is there a big difference between ravager and UF?
and in%?

lofty widget
#

im thinking if i would notice the swap from TW to AM beyond the lower rage from SS

vestal peak
#

need some help guys, we are extending the raid until SLG and Sire are dead so do you think switching to Necro will help the raid on those two fights or me being Kyrian is more beneficial to the raid more?

median tulip

AoE, no covenant

#

Should BSC always be taken over BM in M+ now w/ Reprisal?

#

BV*

sweet summit
#

@vestal peak id stay kyrian until you clear for now

#

Pretty much yeah, rogdu

remote dawn
sweet summit
#

Reprisal gives you so much rage that BV is almost overkill. And BSC helps a lot in the damage department where we are currently lacking

strong forum

I don't mind telling you that for Venthyr Protection Warrior, Condemn with Avatar absolutely trucks for dungeon bosses and prides

Ehh, does the Revenge! from Reprisal count for the 50% damage bonus on BSC? Since the tooltip says Dodge and Parry only.

Im new to prot, what im seeing is goto for M+ gonna be reprisal with 3/1/1/1/2/3/1 talent setup?

median tulip

You can play Stormbolt still tho

Ravager is always better atm

thank you โค๏ธ

Same as bounding

For kyrian u just spam revenge instead of condemn anyway

So its kinda the same

For renown catchup: Is it possible to do LFR > Normal Raid > Heroic Raid and get renown from all difficulties? Conversely, if I do Heroic first, am I locked from getting renown on Normal and LFR (similar to the Aqueous Reliquaries from EP)

random dock
#

Most likely not locked because I did get renown from the same dungeon over and over again

#

HC that is

ionic fern
#

Jeah, you get Renown from every difficulty afaik

It's all reprisal now or what

Man I hate so much that there is renown catchup

ionic fern

Wait what?

wet compass

that you don't have it carry over rather

yeah I realized after I said it how that looked meant I hate you have grind 30+ renown levels to get to the end of the tree each time you switch

#

reprisal ill just charge back into storming

#

dont mind me

uneven wagon
#

they want us to go broke in soul ash

#

imma keep using thunderlord for M+ until I've got reprisal

#

max rank

fallow beacon
#

Thoughts on 2x charge vs reduced stun cd in m+ with reprisal?

ionic fern
#

More like vs Storm Bolt.

#

๐Ÿ‘€

fallow beacon
#

The stun cooldown feels so baseline to me

#

Yeah or storm bolt

ionic fern
#

Storm Bolt is the "default" choice in m+ currently.

#

But i'm weird and i have ran with Double Time for a while now.

fallow beacon
#

Just not sure how I feel giving up a stun for a charge

compact palm
#

the cd reduction should be baseline

fallow beacon
#

just to squeeze in another reprisal

compact palm
#

i dont see why it is even a talent

fallow beacon
#

I wish yeah

compact palm
#

make something else in that tier

ionic fern
#

Play with both and see what fits you best. Double Time is arguably more damage/defensives as you get more SB uptime and Rage/Revenges if you use it properly.
Storm Bolt on the other hand is a great extra interrupt that can save you from a deadly cast.

fallow beacon
#

I kinda feel like reprisal will still be very good with charge talent

#

Without*

compact palm
#

like give us the option to have a slow on revenge or something

jagged pier
#

thunderclap slows tho

compact palm
#

or move the heroic leap talent to there

#

yes i know but there is deffinitly room for something else

ionic fern
#

AoE Hamstring when

compact palm
#

im thinking like a 70% slow

#

mabey with a cd

#

like make demo shout slow ?

#

or give prot the fury/arms aoe slow as a talent option

blazing condor
#

i feel like double time is usually fine to run because most groups know to interrupt and if you run shockwave conduit you can shockwave/intim shout/pummel on a fairly good rotation

#

as well as spell reflect

fallow beacon
compact palm
#

the talent tree shouldnt be setup as is

#

imo

#

there should be clear options in rows lik This row should be CC options and another row should be movement options and so on

#

not mixed bag of tricks

fallow beacon
#

I feel like itd be awkward outside of packs without a caster in the backing to target

plain gull
#

Speaking of talents...there's still no use of BSC right? Are BV and DR stronger no matter what?

jagged pier
#

eh?

#

BSC will be used all the time now with repirsal

compact palm
#

i think at very least menace should be where double time is

sweet summit
#

Menace should be gone

compact palm
#

menace could be ok if it reduced the cd by a min

uneven mason
compact palm
#

as a sudo interupt

#

but i agree

#

right now its useless

there is no situation its good

young glen
#

Well. Reasonable.

compact palm
#

helps vs casters in dungeons too

#

stops casts randomly

amber herald
#

I would like a way to physically move mobs pepsihands

#

menace is like blizzard saw that and then half-arsed it

sweet summit
#

It would need to also increase the dr on IP by a sizeable amount, and not be % hp based but constant

compact palm
#

change menace to seduce make them all run to u and not attack

#

;^)

sweet summit
#

Menace would be fine as an extra ability or something. I just think its too awkward to use. Doesnt even knock your maintarget

compact palm
#

so say if it made IP do 60% flat insted and increased the base sheild by say 30%?

#

the heal is really good

#

mabey more

#

i legit cant remmeber what was in that row before menace

sweet summit
#

Still menace, but instead of knocking back shit it could withstand more damage before breaking iirc

compact palm

jesus i just remmebered how much this has changed

sweet summit
#

NA can tell you in a few hours

wild hemlock
#

how long does it take to get to layer 3 of torghast so i could farm it if i wanted to>

sweet summit
#

Like 5 minutes if you speedrun?

#

10 maybe?

wild hemlock
#

wait what

#

you have to get to layer 3 to get the bosses to drop the lego in TC

sweet summit
#

Oh nvm i was thinking floor

#

Uhh 30 minutes?

compact palm
#

no no

#

i think 10mins was right

#

just dont touch anything except bosses

wild hemlock
#

but the TC layers take forever 1-3

#

only bosses on layer 3 drop the lego

astral crystal
#

just do layer 3, up to floor 6

#

reset if you dont get the wing you want

#

doesn't really take long

wild hemlock
#

last time i tried unlocking layer 3 it took FOREVER

#

and i was too low ilvl on warrior

astral crystal
#

you low ilvl or something?

#

ok that figures

wild hemlock
#

i was like 185

astral crystal
#

tc isnt really a test of skill, just endurance

#

you could probably do it if you went slow

wild hemlock
#

i was at like 3 hours on layer 2 and said fuckkkkkk that hahahahah

strong forum
#

Oof

#

Layer 8 took me like 1hr

#

Cuz I wanted to take it slow

#

And not fail it

#

Saw too many people complain that they couldn't finish their layer 8 run and had to do multiple attempts

#

So I went in slow and steady and got like 30 powers more than usual

arctic wasp
#

i've never failed a layer 8 i'm pretty sure ppl fail it because they dont get all the anima powers xD

#

You go arms?

A regular 6 floor wing takes like 15min

Geez

strange lintel
#

layer 8 - 18 floors took me like nearly 3 hours on arms like a month and a half ago when i was 200ish ilvl

and holy is faster than shadow, shadow is probably the absolute worst spec in the game for torghast

i was hitting shit for 500k condemns and each mob would take like 10 condemns to die lol

I skipped floors 13-18 usually

Get all the powers early

Then speedrun

archers and casters had to be losed or they would nuke me with a single cast

I done TC once as prot, on layer 1. On the end boss I had about 12k DPS

Raid or m+?

ionic fern

Mainly m+

really wish blizzard would just let us swich covenant like underwear. makes no sense that we have to " swear allegiance " to a faction thats at large still together and working as a system

Muh rpg elements

you can have infinite amounts of RPG elements without ever chaining it to player power

strange lintel

" i wanna do stealthy stuff " oh okay maybe go nf or necrolord. they got stuf to help you with that " " okay cool "

#

" come back when you wanna do specific stuff later so we can put you in a covenant that might help you better to your purpose "

median tulip
#

In fact, what I really want is for there to be a system that saves everything relevant to playing - gear, talents, Soulbind and conduits - and allows you to swap between them with one button press

crisp dragon
#

Its gonna feel great tomorrow, more damage

strange lintel
#

"YouChoSeTheOthRCOveNUT WE DONT LIKE YOU ANYMORE" is silly

strange lintel

uneven mason
#

void storage?

#

that still a thing?

strange lintel
#

still there

#

dunno why

#

extra storage i guess

median tulip
#

The Wowhead guide on Prot is missing the point wrt Shield Block uptime on Nathria bosses

delicate thorn
#

I use void storage all the time

#

I was hoping in fact that they would update it for SL, because it has limitations still that don't make sense for the game as it works today

#

the problem is that it still does not accept unique items, so you cannot put legion artifacts in there, also some things that are Unique and do not need to be, like fishing poles and Benediction/Anathema

median tulip
#

I think it doesn't accept legion artefact weapons because it has issues with gem slots, which is what the relics effectively are

delicate thorn
#

Regardless of the reason, void storage needs to be modernized ๐Ÿ™‚

uneven mason
#

TBH It should prob be removed and artifacts can be mounted in our class halls.

#

Since the reason for void storage was to put your Xmog stuff in

ionic fern
#

I just deleted all my Legion weapons.

uneven mason
#

but now we have collections

#

You can delete them now?

delicate thorn
#

removed?! I have almost every slot occupied in my void storage, I would NOT want to keep all of that in my bank ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

uneven mason
#

WTF do you have

delicate thorn
#

stuff

#

I can take a screenshot when I get home from work

median tulip
#

I have more stuff I tried to put into Void Storage and it refused than I have in it

uneven mason
#

My void storage is empty because when the collections tab was introduced I vendored the lot of it.

you can always empty out your anima reservoir by buying things from the anima vendor then selling them back to a vender after you switched Covs

If ya say so

wet compass

Area 52

median tulip
uneven mason
#

Yup

signal plover
#

This kinda just feels like pretty typical mid tier burnout to me

wet compass
#

Pop is falling much harder than bfa

uneven mason
#

The average player is unshockingly due to how poorly loot was tuned at first just now reaching 210ish ilvl, IF they're even attempting content that awards that high of an item.

signal plover
#

Our retention/recruiting is pretty much identical to previous xpacs. We're just a casual 2 night/6 hour CE group tho.

uneven mason
#

my recruiting is abysmal, but thats because Stormreaver is slowly dying

large exodus to Malganis and Area 52

wet compass

I mean alliance is basically dead

We xrealm/xfaction recruit by default now

Even on stormrage it's dead compared to horde

Someone's embraced hyperboles

#

TFW stormrage has over 5,000 active alliance raiders?

wet compass
#

I said compared to horde

uneven mason
#

but yeah for CE

#

CE Players don't do alliance

#

because we're more interested in content than faction loyalty

Delete Blood elves and everyone will play alliance

uneven mason
#

they're paladins

#

it's past the tipping point

uneven mason
#

remove faction restricitons for guilds and raids

wet compass
#

Just remove them period M+ pop matters as well

#

War mode for people who want to rp being at war instead of just part of the "heroic group" wearing either red or blue

uneven mason
#

right..I mean we already have "merc mode"

wet compass
#

yeah but see that helps horde

uneven mason
#

Yeah

sick sentinel
#

they just need to add something as useful for alliance

uneven mason
#

??

#

Alliance racials this tier are head and shoulders stronger than horde

#

no one wants to swap to Puppydog and Rainbow races

lofty widget
#

but isnt the faction imbalance due to when racials favoured horde? nowadays they are very even

lone hearth
#

but isnt aliance racials way better as ofesive ?

lofty widget
#

but most ppl made the switch to horde back then, so why switch back ifracials are equal anyway?

merry ocean
#

Why didnt the best guild swap to alliance then?

strong forum
#

Faction imbalance started in mop

#

I think

uneven mason
sick sentinel
#

core race racials for alliance kind of blow for the most part

uneven mason
#

which was addressed

#

quickly

#

but 90% Of the end game guilds were horde by that point, so its lemming mentality (meta derps)

sick sentinel
#

stone form and NE fade are stand outs though

strong forum
#

Alot of people went horde, then stayed horde cuz no reason to go back, thus even more people went horde cuz alot of people are horde

lofty widget
#

yeah, dmg is done

uneven mason
#

Then in legion it was made worse with M+ and the MDI

#

with BE racials being mandatory

lofty widget
#

unless they decide to buff alliance racials (yes pls)

strange lintel
sick sentinel
#

it's fine, when there is 90% horde more people will start to roll ally

love it

#

Buffing Alliance racials wont matter; the fact of the matter is Alliance racials are already better in most scenarios, but there are so many more guilds on the Horde side and much better infrastructure for raiders by just being Horde. To have a couple of top guilds swap to Alliance might pull some people over, but it costs 25 bucks per toon to do so

I don't see the charge/intervene mechanic being super useful on like half the bosses. If you try to try to get reprisal on sire you're going to have a good time.

But why wouldn't Limit for example faction change to alliance if alliance has better racials, they want all advantage they can get.
