and I hate that tyrannical bosses are basically balanced with prideful in mind
I did too jakey, as the xpac started and the keys and the prideful mob itself wasn't that big of a deal..and that pug healers who are 'meh' could handle it fine.
20% ghosts were fun because I didn't give a shit when reaping came it could come during bosses and still be fine
yer but like it didnt do anything imagine you are your healer working together say in like grevious week to keep u at 4 stacks and like below 50% hp all the time so u just do uber damage
would be so interesting
this is just and example of an idea but they could do loads of stuff
and it would feel crazy painful in pugs
So it has to tell you something, when the best Mythic dungeon teams in the world..with literally the best possible gear would try and skip any prideful mob they could that wasn't absolutely critical.
like healers dont healer for a min or they have to do a certain amount of damage and they get a healing buff for like 5 mins or somthing
it would make dungeons way more fun the healers like right im not healing for x amount of time
play around it with pots etc
When those groups say "nope..the time and effort involved in killing that thing, for a GIGANTIC damage boost is absolutely not worth"
It is only my opinion and everyone can have their own and that's fine; but I am of the opinion that the seasonal affix should be a themed 'boost'. Something you WANT to interact with, and plan around using for the dungeon. Not the healer going "oh god...here comes prideful..." and the group saying the same thing "ugh..well we HAVE to kill this so we can grind through this terrible boss with a bazillion HP"
i mean usually you line up the routes to utilize the prides efficiently
This 100% this and if you don't kill the boss with prideful they key is dead
The routes have always been designed around taking the seasons affix into consideration; NOT having the affix punish you, and you just have to deal with it because it gives you something you NEED to deal with their overtuned dungeons (it's mostly a tyrannical bosses thing).
Wft 
Na i mean windfury totem
Blame Erga

I didn't make the sim
The pillars in BFA final season...when you activated ANY of those mobs were you worried about them wrecking the group and sweating if you needed to burn cd's for it or not? Or was it something you utilized as a bonus to push through the dungeon?
A bonus to push through
The Pillars in BFA are the only affix I have actually liked outside of bwom and bwom was basically a non affix
They were NEVER a threat to the group
Never ever never were they dangerous to the group
and that isn't a bad thing
Yes
But it didn't feel punishing..it didn't feel like you had to surgically pull the dungeon EXACTLY, and if some pug hunter was out of position and pulled an extra mob..? who cares? kill it and move on.
But now you're insanely punished by prideful mobs
Cuz it literally makes you wipe on high keys
Or you need to commit serious CDs to it
We agree Nome we agree
Awakened was peak affix
Next to reaping ofc
Prideful is nice, but it needs it's dmg / health reduced alot tbh
AND to top it all off; the prideful buff they've built these bosses around expecting you'll have it....if you wipe, there's no recovery..it's over. I know that a wipe was going to really strain the key in BFA, and 2 was PROBABLY rip key.
Yep that's the big issue the bosses are balanced around it
In bfa you could do 2 pillars with end bosses
But now they're basically asking the random pugging community to now be surgically precise with your routes, and have zero failure tolerance.
In SL you cant even do the prideful mob paired with anything
well to time it that is, hence why you see the after timer free prideful thing, they know its needed which is the "mistake" of it i think
makes me wonder what we're getting next season and if they'll have to go in and rebalance everything cause of the change
Right..as you got stronger in bfa final season, you got to use that affix in a way that made you feel like you were getting stronger, that you could adapt your strategy around getting more gear/corruption..etc. You push higher in SL's now..you STILL aren't pulling a pride into a substantial pack of mobs for efficiency.
it has to do with chains i guess
LOL didn't even notice nom said basically the same thing I did
domination
chains between all party members that deal damage to anyone caught between them
including mobs
let's go
lol
Ok so feel me on this...
😄 hope you'll enjoy it 😄
can't wait m+ become only for range players
wait it isn't already?
Wait melee play m+?
If that's the season 2 affix...I certainly hope dungeons are tuned down SUBSTANTIALLY because kiting with chains that kill people? yup..not a thing~
meh
no see dad you use the chains to kill mobs
They killed every good melee spec + punish you heavily to play melee
waaaait did they hotfix it already? Just yesterday evening it showed 4 but gave me 6 😦
hm? ok. we'll see.
Yeah playing reprisal will be a bit harder now
But still very very good
Skill ceiling just Rose alot
get mobs to gather
and chain them
fuck why would they do this
every domination spell in WoW is based around mind control, I wonder if Jailer will just assume control of a mob or someone in your group
I just honestly get the impression the devs said "I have this neat idea..." "...now I don't play any of this content on my main, I JUST do raiding..so? I think the way this works is fine..tanking M+ is fine right now I think?"
accurrate
nah more like this
and the mobs will be in the center
and the tanks will have to hop over chains like jump rope
while tanking
So let's compare it to the affix it was obviously modeled after...bwonsamdi's spirits. Why do you think they made the pride give that insane buff? Because everyone skipped the 100% wave in BFA. So they wanted to design it so you 'wanted' to kill it. But how much harder is prideful than that affix was? That affix was fun because it was a huge clapfiesta and all you had to do was dodge a purple swirly on the ground.
mind control will be fun tbh fire mage get mind control big offff 🤣
oh god please no mind control
Even the emissary seasonal...from Azhara; NO ONE Liked that...but it still wasn't as punishing or time consuming or even effected the dungeon route nearly as much.
Pride is just annoying
I'm currently wondering if the Shadowlands Season 2 Affix will be something Maw-related, or if it'll be something to do with the Brokers
We already figured out the new affix lol
domination
pay your taxes to enter the key
Chains connecting everyone that deal damage when touched
fits their whole kiss curse thing
and is extremely punishing to pugs
and says fuck melee
Ticking all the boxes eh
sound fine to me still
Fuck melee, fuck tanks, fuck positioning and fuck healers

Sounds like m+
you forgot fuck pugs
Everything combined; the way higher dungeon difficulty (strength of trash, bosses, and mechanical demands of some of the bosses) the fact that there's SO many casters in every zone now, the angry punishing seasonal affix...AND THEN garbage ass loot at the end.. has turned M+ into a pug unfriendly finger pointing contest of who fucked up and why; and then people bailing on the key.
Gotta keep the Boomkin/Fire Mage/Marks Huntard demographic happy

do you guys open vault in fury to elimate the tank trinkets or in prot to eliminate the 2 handers?
I'm popping vault as prot every week until I get the scale.
I loot as prot cuz I still need a shield
it depends what are you looking for
in prot because I still need a fucking shield and scale
but scale is on fury loot table right?
the M+ trifecta: the kiter, the support and the mage
OH that's right I checked weeks ago...I knew there was a reason I said "ok..opening vault as prot forever until that"
wait why did you say simp twice?
I have a 226 shield with haste and even a tertiary..speed? I believe.
Still opening as prot each week
I hate you lol
die
Doesnt matter what lootspec i open it with cos i get shit anyway 😔
My only non 226 slots are the heroic sire ring @220 and the..? Inerva ring @vivid light3
lol
Good day guys, to use reprisal effectively. Do I use my shield after a charge and continue with my normal rotation or is there actually a better optimum way to play?
I worry that I may have a gap on my SB since I don’t run bolstering now. Only tanked 2 dungeons with that legendary and trying to learn the best way.
die die die dei
i can't die, my shield is too strong
Charge and get SB on cd asap
blizz really hate us
and yet your are still less tanky than a leather boy dual wielding
lol
eh..? no
You can also get intervene on CD pretty fast as well unless you need it for something else
im a guardian main this tier 😦
We're not less tanky
warr just a bad geared alt for now, might main it in 9.1
SB caps at 18 seconds duration so dont zoom too fast
Is it okay to have 1 charge on when I intervene or charge to another?
I see
Always have at least one charge of charge/sb on cooldown
Ah I see, that’s wonderful info
Got it Erga, that is great advice

Charge, throw the free Revenge for threat and put Shield Block up to get the Cooldown turning. Then Shield Slam the primary target
I better get practicing to get used to it
Good luck mate
Got it, thx Zetakya
Keep owning
Thanks Erga
I will do my best 😃
I love playing prot and warrior

🤗
how much acid were the south park creators on for this special holy shit lol
prot war is best
even if it is at trash tier
do you guys get [Unnerving Focus] as kyrain or [Brutal Vitality] ?
unnerving
3x stygia in a row currently
focus
Even though I'm still trying to run Anger man's instead of bolster...I still use unnerving. I use bolster for blast packs..for better durability from the HP and all the revenges~
45% more rage gain is nutty
last stand is still a good CD to use even if you dont get SB
put some rage gain on it and its even better
brutal vitality or the other alternatives just arent really good enough
Brutal Vit just has so SO little real value in M+
It would be cool if it refreshed the buff, slowly building your shield while kiting
Kiting 
Kiting
It's shit in Raids too; bosses almost always knock IP right off you so it never does anything
I use IP mostly when Im overcapping rage or I know a big hit is aboutta hit
We need :revengepepe:
Btw fueled by violence is worth the conduit slot?
🇳 🇴
Hows reprisal doing in raid?
Good, on some fights
Good on some fights,but you can safely use The Wall on everything without issue
if the boss has some casting gaps giving you time for "cheeky" charges then yeah its not too bad
so for kyrians, i should rather use the row for second potency conduit (piercing verdict in the other), or BV in the slot?
sub 200 ilvl prot warrior, starting to learn m+ doing lowish keys atm. i have wall at R1, should i upg or craft reprisal? im necro
i mean craft another r1 if you have to
i like the dmg reduction yeah, and im afraid i might lose value on reprisal cause im still learning
you're still getting the legendary bonus just the ilvl stats of the gear might be lower for a while
The Wall is fine, but in the long run you will probably want Reprisal
thanks 🙂
if you're not yet comfortable with quick movement then yeah may need to practice that first
long run 
Honestly you're probably better off learning to use Reprisal now rather than waiting
yeah probably
like i said the ilvl changes but not the bonus itself regardless of rank, just wear a r1 of it
run 
ok, ill make reprisal r1 🙂
To forestall your next questions: Legs, and Haste/Versa
heh someone is used to the last week of this discord 🙂
thx, i usually read before asking tho
yeah i am still confuse about it. it look like people couldn't time their 20 or 22 without reprisal
It's a miracle!
nah, its respect
i mean the value of reprisal will rise the longer mobs survive, so it grows at a higher rate as the key grows
i enjoy discord ommunity and want to benefit from it without hurting anyone's brains
The last two weeks have been pretty repetitive, really
its the same on every class discord 😐
well something new happened tends to create lots of repetitive discussion. I don't know whether that's a sad thing though from design of the class point of view that this one change created so much discussion
"hey guys, they bandaided a major problem, time to celebrate!"
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.
IP isnt about how long it lasts
it's a complement for sblock
except against magic where you just spam ip :^)
I like it. Having a mobility-baded tanking legendary works really well for us, IMO.
Now I'm just hoping that they'll buff Thunderlord soon.
i doubt you're getting any alteration to thunderlord, i think any changes would only be to "in the toilet" legendaries because in the future we likely have "multiple legendaries" incoming and they don't want to pre create issues there
I was replying to a question about Brutal Vitality; the problem with BV is that it only does anything if you already have an active IP; so on Raid Bosses BV does nothing because you can't keep IP up
guys, quick question on Sludge Mythic, does it matter if Prot Warrior keeps aggro vs DH ? Damage intake or output wise. Rage gen etc ?
no
no difference at all ?
no the fight does not work like "old" shared encounter bosses
you don't take the hit that the main tank takes
as long as you don't suck at repositioning boss :^)
you take a dual hit essentially at the same time
in the past your question would have been, yes definitely prot on a physical slugger like him, but that was changed a while ago to stop that sort of tank usage on shared cleave type fights
thanks 🙂
np
it can be confusing cause bosses in the past, eg the 2nd boss in highmaul, didn't work this way and you could cut the offtanks damage taken by having higher mitigation main tank. Sludge doesn't discriminate 🙂
For Kyrian, is Mik or Kleia better for prot? Using Pelo for fury.
if you "can't" use pelo, it would be kleia i suspect
obviously pelo is better, but she works as a second option
mik i believe has stuff you don't really need outside of solo content mostly
Awesome. I could, but I than I have to remember to change conduits, which I have learned I rarely do 🙂
yer, its a chink in the system honestly, they should make it work differently
agreed
if pressing a button can change spec and talents, it should be able to save multiple versions of a soulbind
But the fun of choice...or some such theory
its probably a design issue cause you need to change the conduits at a pedestal and the game probably won't allow a mobile change unless blizzard redesigns it, which will prob happen at some point
probably when it doesn't matter anymore knowing them 🙂
I want one button that changes spec, talents, Soulbind, conduits and gear all to a saved setup
don't worry it will be in a blizz shop for $49.99 next year some time 😉
Uh you can set that up?
Your soulbind changes based on your talent spec
problem with kleia and mik is they are trash so you basically end up swapping left and right at the bottom of pelo if i want 1f or 1e conduit
just set up a different soulbind for each spec
he means only if it is a differrent soulbind
I know
if you want the same it uses the same conduits and setup
You still have to change gear and talents separately
You do if you have 3 possible setups on a single spec
I mean you want there not to be conduit energy which isn't a thing sadly
Like I have 7 different saved gear sets at this point; 3 of them are Protection alone
Yeah Conduit Energy is a total horseshit mechanic that needs to die a horrible and painful death, alone in a ditch somewhere
you would have think they learned their lession with azerite gear respecs 🙂
given all the forums grief it gave them, deserved or not
dont forget that blizzard knows best how to have fun in their games
the one i'm looking forward to is apparently you have to blow it all setting up your conduits in your new soulbinds if you change covenants
sounds great
yes with repirsal i do
Multiple uses depending on case.
1)INtervene to a ranged player to put distance between you and the enemy (kiting,avoiding mechanics like the bleed in SD)
2)Intervene when someone needs the defensive value from it
3)With Reprisal honestly on CD cause i want my rage and damage.
Etc
Treat intervene as a pseudo shieldblock
feels wired to kite as kyrain
i had much more fun kiting with kyrain but in pugs it seems they are not ganna slow or stun anything
/targetfriend
/cast Intervene
/targetlasttarget [help]
will do Intervene on closest ally and then return to your target
or you can set Vuhdo spells to just left click an ally
what far away ally cause melee gtg be close to adds
I'm learning how to use Intervene
guys, if I Intervene the other tank in the raid while he is tanking, and use block, will I still mitigate that damage with block?
mitigation works with intervene yes
thanks!
Guys, with reprisal should i run ravager? ItF? For m+.
Ravager
ravager is most fun skill to press ^^
I use a @mouseover macro which I usually use on a distance or the heal , using the group frames
u also should have benn running it before this patch
man I don't get why they nerfed reprisal 😦
hey, what's the average shield wall cd with The Wall ?
F
Night Fae is fun for M+ 😄
im kinda done with condemn xD
Really enjoying playing Necro with reprisal... Fresh and zesty
Warrior off the bench
6 to 4 sec is not a huge deal.
oh did it get hotfixed?
Ye :/
F
Its fine reprisal still owns 
🤣 my warry and rogue are keeping me busy enough for now
I want a healer / caster, but just cba
is viscera or gluttonous any good for tanking M+?
@sweet summit did I see you say Shield block has a max time of 18 sec?
As in you can push SB twice in quick succession and get 12 sec vs just refreshing the 6
Hey guys I gave Necrolord a shot. Banner is very good dps increase, in aoe packs along with our 10% buff this patch the dmg is goooood. Also the bubble is very handy, I tested it in hc sire last night. You can use it while the other tank has the boss and you are ready to absorb 30K dmg. The conduits are nice, especially the one that bubbles you for 15% of your hp when you drop below 50%. Overall my survivability has been increased which was an issue in mythic raiding (even that my gear is pretty maxed out)
I miss spear for m+ but we cannot have it all
necro and kyrain both good for raid so
Wish I could switch to NF myself for Mplus. Their soulbinds are bonkers
Thx for the info. I'm gearing a necro war atm as I'm getting bored of brewmaster
So far my issue with banner is I can't tell how beneficial it is. I just have to assume my boomie is getting good use out of it, even when on comms compared to being able to look at a log and see how much spear or AA is doing.
Already worth at r1
And you never will :)
Yeah :(
Spear is just that good and phial is so beneficial for us when we need to clear stacks. That itself is making hard to swap to Necro when we can't see clear benefits
is prot or bear the better facetank spec right now?
How good are we now boys
Probably bear still slightly stronger, but war got a shitton better at facetanking forever
Like, outside of very specific mechanics I don't see pwar kiting anymore
would war's advantage be in burst dmg (and more importantly, burst threat?) with AM Avatars and unstoppable force?
Do we use reprisal in raids?
No, we have better constant dmg than burst
UF isn't really a good talent
Ravager + revenge spam grants more dmg in aoe
even with AM avatars?
Yes
ah ok
It's competetive, but ravager is still better
war should be better dmg than bears by alot now right?
You can play reprisal on every boss but sludge
Yeah think so
In m+ atleast
yeah my context is m+
In raiding bear dmg is still alot higher
what's the DPS we should be expecting around the 210iLvl range?
bear can do decent damage but they have to shift out of bear form to do it so it's hard to do in m+
we have way more consistent dps now
i gotta improve. 
press revenge more 
is ravager like unlimited rage in a big pack? or just 10 rage per 'tick' ?
10 rage
3.5k seems optimistic. I'm pulling pink parses in some m+ doing sub 3k
i hit IP too much to help the healers because trust issues in PUG.
Now in current patch with reprisal + am you should defo be able to hit 3.5k average with 210
pug something goes wrong tank is there to the take blame
details / logs also have diff #s for DPS at end of run
logs counts downtime or something iirc?
Yeah smth like that
ya you're always lower on logs
And even then its wonky
when people quote a number it usually refers to details dps
Cuz I had 4.4k dps in mists last week, was only 3.8k on logs and 4.25k on "dps while active"
What's the consensus on best Covenant for m+ right now. New to prot
Nf or kyrian
do you think korayn's hold the line has any value
Venthyr for good raid dmg
Kyrian for good m+dmg and decent raid dmg
NF for big m+ and good raid dmg
Necro for buffing your dps players
I just got from a hunter today. "Stop moving around. and out of my Wild spirits"
"Bro. Storming."
NF is mainly for m+ useless in raid
Hey all, has anyone tried Ravenous Pendant on Hemier's soulbind? It seems like it would be good (in theory) for M+. Also new to tanking, I checked the pins and didn't see anything that really mentioned it
NF is still big pump in raid wdym
*Heirmir's
idk
Nomeratur pls show me a 5.5 k dps run, im at 4.3k cant Imagine 1.2 More
Burrs useless in raid huh
one more renown and i'll give it a shot
storming hurt a lot
the crit or the regen at the end look intresting but not sure it'll be better than emeni
I'd rather have First Strike for the dmg. I'd never be able to stand still for 5sec I don't think.
I mean @jagged pier literally posted a screenshot of a badly played dungeon where he pulled 5.2k dps or smth
Yesterday
And thats on tyra week, I specifically mentioned fort week
yeah i kinda cant decide.. i think face your foes is decent too
I've done only 1 key so far where we chain wiped to 3rd boss 4 times and I still had 4.6k dps overall
Mhh k Then im bad af or its dos with the pulls
I pulled 4.1k dps in DoS last week already
@strong forum With what covenent and legendary?
Reprisal + kyrian
Ur eu nome?
I'll pay more attention to details over logs for dps then and see how I do. I know yesterday I was up in the 4ks
Yuh
Link ur rio please i will have some questions After work 😇
@surreal sinew thanks man, and yeah Emeni's haste is pretty sweet 🙂
I don't push keys, my name is literally just Nomeratur everywhere
Okay
is the covenant situation something where necro is really only the play if you can maximize banner usage and pretty much a bad call if you cant?
Yes
we take BSC+Ravager+AM and Repisal? Soulbind i choose Mikanikos Conduits Piercing Verdikt Inspiring Present Stuard Unerving Focus or shuld i take Palegros with Piercing Verdikt Stuard Gardian Show of Force and Unerving Focus?
for nf isit niya for raid and korayn for keys? @strong forum
Can use niya for m+ aswell, I'm not certain if korayn is really all that that amazing
The uptime on the mastery + burrs is still pumper in m+ from niya
Korayn is big pump when you can open with AA tho
this one? my first one with reprisal where i could have done a lot more i missed AM and charges/intervenes
Yeah
I mean, 10% on every opener is quite big for Korayn
With a bit practice you can easily get 6k overalls
10% and first strike 👀
5.3k? Is that with BSC and a low key?
mkay
i willhave a video of it at somepoint
BSC and Ravanger or BSC und ITF?
but on higher fortified thats not possible unfortunately
a lot changes
he's feeding a lot of rage into ravager for that overall
into revenge* sorry
yeah?

That Would be nice jakey, Ur yt acc is?
jakeyplops
I am not saying you shouldn't spend rage on Revenge 😄
I am just saying that at higher key levels you don't get to do as much of it
thats not true
if anything i spend more revenge on it as the mobs are up longer
@jagged pier do you know what your HPS was in that run?
prot warr isnt made of paper. you can tank and pump. youre also not doing it in vacuum. you got 3 dps and a healer doing their part to kill shit.
low i dont really press ignore pain
yep 🙂
With most PVP (Haste/Versa) gear 222 wich dps i should do on M+
prob fury
i think that's where i gotta improve. i IP too much to smoothen out for healers.
Idk how its not true but ok
Dead mobs = no healing needed.
@tame mountain i'm out of conduit energy with the swap turns out so 'ill have to wait a few days looks like. Awesome system 🤨
sure, sure 🙂
My hps in my NW18 was 2.1k
okay so its know your dungeon, that was mists which after the first 2 pulls is like 100% physical damage so once u have SB up u can just pump
force yoruself not to "panic" click IP and as long as its not giga spell dmg and SB is up your not taking that much dmg.
With 4 wipes
like i did a lot less in DoS yesterday but the group was bad and we over bolstered stuff so i had to kite for ages
IP will be depleted after a single melee swing on a high fort key so it's a lot of wasted rage if you're pressing IP too much
How much of that was Nose for Trouble and Anima Exhaust @strong forum ?
yeah. And like DoS we need more IP to mitigate the magicals coming through?
better to kite until you have a SB charge and then press revenge more 
is the legendary for M+ Reprisal or Thunderlord?
that or kite or cd
:)
with some leading tank streamers starting to gear up their warriors im curious about the meta they predict. pwar, boomie, mage and havoc?
and hpala mabye?
Don't try to predict meta
just fun to speculate a bit 🙂
they predict nothing really, because they dont need to
henlo
they just switch
thank you.
VDH got a significant buff w/ their conduit change to Fel Dev
fem, rads and lepan all going necro warriors already. more prep instead of switch i guess then
WHO IS THE PIECE OF SHIT WHO PUBLISHED A WOWHEAD ARTICLE ABOUT REPRISAL BEING 6 SECONDS
Jesus christ. That's like, "TEACHER TEACHER! YOU SAID WE'D HAVE A QUIZ TODAY!"
It's a Tyrannical week, Valor is now in teh game, it makes sense to use the time to prepare other tanks for the inevitable meta switch
Don't forget these are people that literally have WoW as their job
mhm
I already yelled at llarold, but he had to :(
Besides, Chaos Brand is just nuts so unless Havoc sees more buffs
wowhead is the kotaku of wow.
VDH will remain stronk
sleep on any tank is a mistake for sure. naowh is working on his bdk and nerf was lvling his warr but both have also said vdh looking stable af moving on so. who knows 
why do i hear rumblings about necro havoc?
He's just an employee ykno
nerf also mentioned necro warr depends completely if the banner for the team makes up for not having as big pump individual as nf for example.
Yeah all tanks are good
agreed
its just our viewer experience is biased AF
thats awesome
since we tend to consume Twitch content from the very top players
and top players will top player
ie metaslaving
cant blame em
👏
for example, plenty of people are under the assumption that pwarr does dog damage
and has issues with threat
which wasnt true even before 9.0.5
we have (had?) issues with snap threat
overall damage was decent
they should stop selling that on the titanforged podcast
Its cuz people not invested into pwar said that in early beta
vdh also still has the best kit for mdi, so people will base their perception off that
So they didn't bother trying to play well
people will people
And that carried all the way until 9.0.5 cuz nobody showed them the opposite
So can't really blame em
at least naowh has always said they were good
you can easily time 23 24 keys w/ pwar right now
well, not easily
but its not like you cant do it
Yuh
just look at rio ladder. ppl are being succesful. nobody is gated or hit any ceiling by their choice in tank. just need to play the game and chat less
hehe
back to work :bonk cat:
Well, I guess what we're discussing is the effect of preconceptions by others that you need to in order to run keys, aused by random content creators
and the effect Twitch has on people's opinion on whats good or not
i ran 12 DOS for scale as fury cus was a VDH hosting the key. didnt use his sigils. like, rerolling fotm is great and all but you still need to master what you play
So Reprisal only for m+?
I constantly shit on people with a sub 200-ilvl Survival Hunter in keys, including FOTM classes who are higher ilvl, because I actually understand how to play my spec.
haste - verse on leggo ya?
big shocker, mastery of a class is beneficial 😄
haste vers cant go wrong
haste versa ya
no u can use it on everyhting but sludge, but im trying to get a way to use it there
when u convince your co tank to macro cancel intervene aura onto all of his abilities

Okay i Go vulpera
welcome to the yiff pile.
Acting like vulpera's racial in m+ isn't amazing LOLE
its not amazing, no
holding your ground LOLE
im orc, best racial for m+ 🙂
Curse of Weakness – Increases the time between an enemy's attacks by 20% for 2 minutes - Been looking at quite a lot of logs today for various Mythic guilds and usage of this on bosses in Nathria seems very inconsistent despite all comps having a lock. Bosses hitting me less sounds like a great thing yet this returning for shadowlands doesn't seem to have gotten much fanfare. Where are your guilds on this?
Vulpera racial is amazing and camp is a life changer
that would be vulpera @orchid frigate they are actually busted
how dare you expect your warlock to use a GCD on something that does no damage, joy.
you disgust me
I was Orc and went Vulpera
Im zadalari atm
it's overhyped
hehe
Yeah
One global every 2 mins is a lot to ask I know.
i honestly didn't even know that those curses work on bosses
idk how much my opionion counts as only heroic raiding but my lock doesnt use it because "managing dots is a pain enough". he does use the tongues on frieda cuz rl got mad at him tho
is there a way to play vulpera but having your optics permanently changed to any other horde race while playing vulpera? that way i could imagine playing vulpera.
there is
Transmorpher 24/7
Tank Notes references the impact it has on swing timer: https://www.tanknotes.com/castle-nathria/sludgefist Sludge for example: Swing Timer: 1.5s (Curse of Weakness 1.8s) where it is especially impactful.
changed to vulpera on my DK once it was possible. regret that 😦
Good morning guys anyone tried Reprisal for M+. How good it is ?
well I'd say: if your tanks are having trouble surviving, absolutely you should be using it
if not? whatever, just let your locks pump
Hi all, recently dinged on warrior currently doing low keys to get a bit of valor, reckon its better to throw everything in to an early 220 shield or wait till i am doing higher keys to get more effeicnet upgrades?
if i lose all of aggro during charge is this my fault ?
its great
Honestly, I love the uptime but high Key hate the playstyle.
yes, a once a 2min global is a huge pump gain
@unique shale i am 100% confident that you already know the answer to that question.
slower swing timer isnt particularily impactful in raids. maybe for a bdk, but for other tanks, not so much
you wont even feel it's there
nor will your healers
i not confident
it saves roughly 3 HoT ticks per minute
its such a minuscule gain, people don't really focus on it
if it was
you'd see more DH's, veng or havoc, go venthyr for the brand
why
reality of the situation is slower swing timer is not impactful
except on a bdk for shit like orogozoa type bosses
Sludgefist hitting me and giant fisting the Offtank less seems like a big thing to me? Can you define why it would be negligible?
define less
in a 1.6 second long encounter you take 50% less damage with weakness up
the longer the encounter is
the less the gain is
wtf am i reading
I don't think that's how maths works
Ty @solemn magnet @jagged pier
how low is your progress
yeah ignore that drivel
Yes, weakness is impactful. in a 4 minute fight of a boss with a 1.5 second swing timer (with no casts, so these numbers aren't real) you'd get hit 160 times.
with weakness, it would be ~133
On a boss that chunks hard, that is significant
☝️
still don't know the answer
its less swings during enrage
whether or not you NEED it up the whole fight totally depends on your tank's survivability and your healers throughput
It will be different depending on your group.
ill take it even if its 1 less tbh
Use it if you need it, don't if you don't.
It's free 16% damage reduction
and yeah, actting like enraged sludgefist autos don't matter KEKW
if i lose all of aggro during charge is this my fault ?
Yes Angel
yes because u can ravager before u charge
no matter what you keep weakness up if you arent worthless, period. you gain way more damage from healers and tank reduced dmg taken than 1 players 1 global every minute
still don;t work
i even spear and ravager and yet i lose aggro
means you're not pressing damage buttons after that spear/ravager
its not possible you're losing aggro on charge w/ both rav and spear
Yes it is
a Boom or Fire on full boar is REALLY hard to hold aggro vs
with spear/rav you can keep aggro even i they insta pop
i mean i have not even get to the mobs and they start running away
was thinking ST
ST while trying to hold on to a pack yes
3 of them if need be
Threat should literally be a non-issue with reprisal now
You charge, Revenge, Clap
done.
You have threat, congratulations
i don't have ST on each pack
Angel there is no way to diagnose your issue with so little information
Threat is a play issue either for the DPS pulling before you are in combat, or you not playing properly
if people are insta combusting before you've even gathered the pack, then no, thats actually not your fault
we don't know which it is.
just make a monk MT it
ez
i say before i get the adds i lose aggro
i can't press dps if all of them spared around
idk wtf everyone's talking about but that's my hot take
Again: Threat is a play issue either for the DPS pulling before you are in combat, or you not playing properly
In a 90 second window you would be hit 50 times with weakness up vs 60 times with no weakness (1.5s base swing). That is more dps time or spot healing elsewhere time for healers and also means ignore pain can do more work.
cute.



100% of people who voted for wandering ancient over the caterpillar should be stripped of basic human rights.
and why is mine not green and instead white
it changes with the seasons
so is reprisal best leggo?
ooooh
for raiding too?


pins the check
the pins check
the czeque pins
thats how ya'll look like
when someone like me comes in here and asks a question

Read the pins before asking 🙃
i dream about the pins
How y'all look
or
What y'all look like
but never
how y'all look like
one of those quirky english grammar things.
well only degens from the south say y'all anyway
i was just using his sentence as the example
are u degen from the north
That's a weird way to spell "cultured individual"
I am north
Guess im a Rat then

I'm not attracted to my cousin, and I don't call every single flavor of soda "coke", so yes, I am from the "north"

yikes
Norf
gotta love sweeping generalizations ❤️
Rude
Those are the best kind of generalizations
did a southern guy steal your bike
In the south, every soda is a coke, fyi
"I'd like a coke"
"what kind of coke? we have Sprite, Mr. Pibb...."
"......a coke..."
^ maddening
also sweet tea is gross
fight me
We just say Cola 
Oh no, sweet tea is ass
Cuz coke doesn't apply to anything
dammit. it's not fun if you agree with me
coke in my country means cocaine too
Or well, coca cola
why do southern people put beercans in their chickens
Yes but why
not here
Or "any fucking soda" in the south
is my point
For flavor and moisture
It still has the flavor of the Coca leaf
ah, the good ol days
the cocaine itself is removed from the leaf and given to a medical hospital that uses it
"The Coca-Cola Company has on occasion introduced other cola drinks under the Coke name."
we've been pronouncing it wrong all this time
coke
yep, I shall personally fix my ways and educate, advance to the appropriate level of pronounciation
🍆 coke
COKE
anyone wanna give me their coke? I could go for a big, round coke right now
i fucked a coke last night

Coke machine broke

anyone else entering "feel like unsubbing" territory?
You mean pop?
only because SLG makes me feel that way
we're so close to killing this shit boss
Midwest 🤘
They just made it what it was supposed to be.
They would have done it eventually anyways.
No, sock's right. They never would have realized if it weren't for me.
100% your fault
So hows the damage buff and reprisal change playing out? You guys closer to DH, Bear and Pally now?
Damn, sure would suck if it's still by far the best.
shame that this 2 second nerf now makes it unusable
if only you hadn't contributed to the website you work for
fucking diot
damn

who cares as long as we get AM 
basic napkin math puts it around 1.8 Rage/sec even allowing for minor mistakes, which is way ahead of The Wall at ~1.1 Rage/sec
Relax with the M word
even without considering that it's still going to add upwards of 30% SB uptime post-nerf
I wonder if there are any good reddit threads for wowhead to publish
I think the goal is to publish bad ones
they achieve that goal on the regular
My god quantum device is soo good on tanking arriving like 30% vers when I press it
Is it
No
Ya idk why getting 7% DR or however much it is gonna make you feel any different
not even the best trinket from that dungeon
Or just give me haste when I’m unlucky and is great to
3-minute cd trinket better delete the boss or I'm going to be annoyed
MOOD
IQD sucks to use almost as bad as Sheet Music
hahahahahahaa jk fuck sheet music
fuck it so fucking hard.
Is good trust me
This
does the versatility defensive component diminish when you also block?
PF10... I'm doing this right.. right xD?
Getting there
You aren't doing it right so much as your 2 warlocks are doing it VERY wrong
not even 3k dps
Hehehe
monkafuckingS dude
how do you have 2 dps in a 10 doing 2.3k dps?!
No clue 😄
Well ofc, all Damage reduction have diminishing returns
Pug key life
Thats surprisingly normal
Some major first week SL dps pumpers
The monk was very overgeared
I do 4.6-4.9k overall as a 198 survival hunter. what the actual fuck?
Guys, is UF really underperforming compared to ravager ? I'm player Reprisal in mm+
damn ty @strong forum
It's competetive, but ravager is still better spouihk
rav better
Rav is a feelsgood
Surv hunter has uncapped aoe
Clunky? 👀
Shoot and forget.
Hate that it takes a year to start doing damgur
Ravager is free rage on 45 sec cd
I really want a surv hunter, can you actually get into keys as it xD
this is from when I was 195! casual proof I'm not a liar.
It's not really for the dmg
Ravager takes 1 global to do dmg, perfect to throw it before you charge
survival is pretty strong
Done
I did 3.6k overall in my SD with UF and AM, feels good
survival is giga-strong in m+
SD16
yes pretend to be MM until the key starts
also not being a retard rly helps outdps'ing retards, which is most of puggers you meet xD
yes that is what I do
Ok so like feral dudu then 😄
yeah survival has insane aoe
Would take a feral over survival hunt
don't get me wrong, Survival is absolute dog shit for the raid. but for m+ it is bonkers
You using wildfire clusters or tar trap BS?
wildfire clusters
My man
We will be the n1 tank next season??
i had a survival hunter outdps me by a good 1k dps overall in sandguine, ive never had a hunter outdps me by more than even 500 before
Survival isn't a bad spec (for m+), it suffers even worse from community perception than prot war
literally the end of every dungeon is met with, "what the fuck you were survival? since when does SV do damage"
It's pretty dang fun, too
and yes, I lie to people about being survival. I ask for a pull timer, have a ranged weapon equipped, and swap to the melee weapon when the pull timer is at 5 seconds
then summon my pet after the dungeon starts
craziness
it's super fun.
Wich armor should I puta reprisal on?
Legs unless you mythic slg
its like my guild I dont raid with, top1000 or whatever, since SL, everyone was basically required to fotm
Top1000 and req fotm
And in mythic slg?
the fotm craze only gets worse xD
As long as you can MD, Tranq and Bloodlust and it isn't quaking you are ok in my book 😛
Guys high or smth
just dumb
yeah my guild leader literally told me he wouldn't take me on any alt runs or key runs at all on my Survival hunter. I challenged him to a DPS off on a fortified week m+ dungeon: his Marksman vs my Survival. If he beat me in overall, I'd supply feasts and cauldrons for the rest of the tier. If I won, he'd shut the fuck up and let me play whatever alt I want.
I beat him 15 ilvls lower.
When would you use fleshcraft? After pulls or as a mid-pull mitigastion?
Or both depending on the situation i guess?
Double time or storm bolt with reprisal?
stormbolt if you need an extra interrupt. double time if you don't.
so the answer is: depends
depends on what dungeon you're in, how many interrupts your group comp has
how good your group is at coordinating and using said interrupts
IN GENERAL, safe play is go storm bolt.
Stormbolt should be warrior baseline 😦
Thanks guys
all I'll say is I've ran wit hteh same people since sl start, around 20 key levels
stormbolt has felt mostly useless
but ocasionally life saving cuz mistakes happen
stormbolt helps with Bucking rampage 😄
well we're fairly coordinated so that isnt a problem
For me stormbolt is too good to pass up
but mistakes do happen
plus stormbolt can be used for an incredibly minor dps gain on boss fights when you have no SS resets and everything is on CD 😄
so sbolt is literally just an extra kick
yep its good
Just be a paladin and get one base line 😎
yikes
Big yikers
I mean, my main is a holy paladin these days. HOJ does feel real good
6second stuns tend to feel satisfying
Spell reflecting it feels really good 😛
Tru
free bis gear tho
I'd rather be low ilvl with bad RNG gear systems than subject myself to pvp
incorrect
pvp is the worst
this is based off of years of research
ha. melee meme.
an excuse for being dog in pvp 😦
Based off of my very educated opinion and facts, pvp > pve in every game
Probably. Whether or not I am good is irrelevant.
I don't like who I become when I lose.
I don't like who I become in torghast
I gave up competitive PvP in pretty much any game years ago.
lose less then
Not good for my health.
problem solved
Torghast makes me smash my desk so much
Hey guys, what covenant should i choose for prot warr (m+ only) - arms pvp dualspec?
What would you guys recommend for m+ anger management or bolster, I like bolster because last stand is up more often and I can dump in more ips while it’s up
Kyrian
arms pvp and prot? Go Kyrian
Kyrian
Is there any consistency in when the 1st boss in HoA does his beam? sometimes its 3 crumbling slams > beam and sometimes 2
@upper parcel kyrian
Ty
venthyr is not good enough for prot hm?
if you want to both PvP and prot in Mplus, its Kyrian
with pelagos i assume
wait.. necro pvp is a thing ?
I don't think I like the way you are using "dog" in your sentences
its sleeper good yes
implying that dogs are anything other than the greatest things in the world
kelia actually does more damage btw
You can use Mekanikos vs rogues
@open monolith criticism accepted
thanks 4 feedback
have 4 dogs
they deserve better
Show dogs
that was the implication, but I can see how that's confusing
Best girl.

my best friend had one of those growing up. that thing was a hyper ball of wirey energy. He would wag his tail so hard into the walls it would break the skin and he would fling blood from his tail everywhere.
Pharaho hound, that is
they are nuts
3.5 meter high netting on the yard
the btich still escapes when she decides
I'm having some threat issues when running with DH dps. At the start of a pull despite hitting a revenge on charge, the DH will eyebeam and take threat from most of the pack...which depending on the pack gets him killed. What can I do to stop this when challenging shout is off cd? Opening is charge>revenge>demo shout.
which would be fine by me if tehre werent cars nearby
@sick sentinel Open with Rav/Spear and alternate them
you can also intervene him to save him
or he can wait an extra global
THIS ANIMAL IS PERFECTION INCARNATE.
Okay I'm done now. Thank you for coming to my DOG talk.
cute dog u have there Sock
