#

soo have to do it again

sweet summit
#

u didnt craft reprisal?

inland raft
#

you can go to corridors and keep rentering til first tileset is upper reaches unless that was changed

mellow gorge
#

yknow what

#

i just bought rank 2

#

rank 1 and 2 are the same price

sick sentinel
#

i couldnt @sweet summit i ran upper reach twice and it wouldnt drop for me

#

on layer 8

sterile moss
#

you probably have it already

mossy sluice
#

do you already have it in your bags or something

sweet summit
#

shift+j

#

powers

sick sentinel
#

no i dont

#

brand new toon

#

and it never dropped

#

at all

sweet summit
#

legos are account wide

sterile moss
#

you have to do the quests

sweet summit
#

if u have anohter warrior

sick sentinel
#

i dont

#

and i know i did

#

legit got fucked

sterile moss
#

if you haven't done the torghast quests nothing drops

mossy sluice
#

did you get soul ash

sick sentinel
#

i did torghast quest.... and yes

sweet summit
#

honestly

#

open a ticket then

floral pewter
alpine ravine
sick sentinel
#

yes i unlocked the runecarver prior to doing it

#

i literally got fucked by blizzard

#

where is todays patch notes

#

this is my 7th toon unlocking a leggo i know the process of it

#

dark lark
#

Is anybody still using the Unnerving Focus (Last Stand generates more rage) conduit with Reprisal/AM build? I feel like I barely touch Last Stand now outside of an oh shit button.

#

And Brutal Vitality feels underwhelming

sick sentinel
#

isnt the idea you dont want to touch big cds unless oh shit button?

sweet summit
#

im using unnerving ye

modern brook
#

LS w/o Bolster can just be hammered tbh

#

w/ Unnerving use it as a damage cooldown imo

#

w/ avatar or whatever

dark lark
modern brook
#

If its not in your preplan you hould just be using it tbh

dark lark
#

Mmm damage cooldown, good idea

mossy sluice
#

big rage gen for big executes Pepexecute

floral pewter
#

you pop Last Stand when the boss hits 20% so you can spam more executes

#

the hp increase is so that you can survive a couple more seconds when you execute too many times and can't afford shield block

modern brook
#

@dark lark i think there are certain Healer externals that are based on the targets max hp. if you coordinate externals you can probably use it with those if thats a thing im not making up

#

I feel like its a preist thing im thinking of but frankly i dont know lol

sterile moss
mossy sluice
#

spirit shell used to scale off of the priests hp and gs heals a % of your hp when it procs its cheat death

modern brook
#

U can last stand rally -> fleshcraft if you're a cool kid

dark lark
#

So you guys still like Unnerving Focus over Brutal Vitality and Fueled by Violence? I've never done any testing on FbV, how does that do?

modern brook
#

BV and FbV are very minimal

#

UF and SG do so much

#

its very hard to justify taking either over UF

dark lark
modern brook
#

LOL

mossy sluice
#

is another finesse conduit available for the intervene conduit

modern brook
#

new banners kinda cool

#

I hate it less than i thought i would

#

sticking with venthyr for now though mostly been playing pvp

#

will probably end up back on kyrian unless the Necrolord cleave teams end up being sick af

dark lark
#

It doesn't benefit my specific m+ comp that much, and it's kind of a pain in the ass in raid to yell at my boomies to come stand in melee

alpine ravine
#

intervene them and pop it

#

Ez

dark lark
#

I'm going back to NF personally for the fat Aftershock

#

Yeah but then boss positioning gets all fucky

#

So I'd rather not mess with that

modern brook
#

I mean ur running reprisal boss positioning gunna get fucky anyways tbh

alpine ravine
#

but then it gets fun bc everythings fucked

dark lark
#

I intervene* OT or a melee lol

#

Not a boomy

dapper coral
#

does killing a spiteful proc "on kill" effects? ie: Victory Rush

dark lark
#

I spam Execute on those dicks

mossy sluice
#

btw when did they change explosive to not trigger victory rush

dark lark
#

Mid BFA

#

I want to say during EP tier

#

I was an explosive god back then

sweet summit
#

it was second explosive week in EP?

dark lark
#

Maybe, I distinctly remember noticing it didn't work during a Freehold

#

The glory days

modern brook
#

SB uptime also looks low though its hard to guage a good number since every heroic parse is just a meme revenge fest at this point

jagged pier
#

your also only cast sb 11 times in the first phase

#

as your progressing sire u should probably run bolster

#

for more up time

#

on sb

#

instead of am

mossy sluice
#

you died on your best attempt to eating a basically full unblocked shattering pain with your last sb usage 35 seconds before your death

modern brook
#

Less impactful: this is wrong

jagged pier
#

like on my last kill of sire i cast IP 5 times u want to block more than ip

raven nebula
#

@modern brook that was what was in IcyVeins

modern brook
#

this is better

mossy sluice
#

theres a like 4 min gap between sb usages

modern brook
raven nebula
#

That's crazy to see because I feel like I spam that thing...

modern brook
#

focusing mantra has value in M+ where the CDR means something

#

but even then 55% heal is insane

jagged pier
#

you also under your spear

#

like u cast it 3 times over 6 mins

#

which is a tone of missing rage

raven nebula
modern brook
#

Show of force sucsk

#

Mawhi is wrong

#

90% that page was made in prepatch it was updated last week lol

mossy sluice
#

1 finesse 1 potency 2 endurance is $$

raven nebula
signal plover
#

Not when your block coverage looks like it does

mossy sluice
#

across all atttempts you have higher ip uptime than sb

#

you may take less damage taking ip off your bar

#

and just binding sb to it

modern brook
#

@jagged pier compare his 3rd wipe to his 7th wipes rage gain (roughly same time frame) you can see what im talking about. Where the raw gain of rage from wm phase 1 makes it look like you're getting more

signal plover
#

Meh, IP is decent in last phase of sire

modern brook
#

But when you actually compare to how much is being wasted / the cadence of it its completly useless like you were saying

jagged pier
#

as wipe 4 or somthing

modern brook
#

Yeah I was just saying its not crazy to misinterpret the talent as "more rage"

raven nebula
mossy sluice
#

yeah high ip uptime is fundamentally bad

#

you should have a lot of casts of ip but the uptime should be low

modern brook
#

IP is good in P2 and 3 because of the raid damage

floral pewter
#

it's not that SB should be up more than IP; IP uptime is just not an important metric

#

it's an absorb shield, so uptime is irrelevant

#

but 20% SB uptime is very bad

raven nebula
jagged pier
#

@raven nebula this is your casts for 6 mins on your 7:11 attempt

#

this is mine

#

you are missing a tone of SS procs

floral pewter
#

you should almost never let SB sit on 2 charges, and never for more than a few seconds

jagged pier
#

no wonder your rage starved

floral pewter
#

so if your SB uptime is less than 6/16*haste, you're just doing something wrong

jagged pier
#

sire is a hard boss to get shield block up time

raven nebula
jagged pier
#

unless u run bolster

mossy sluice
arctic wasp
raven nebula
jagged pier
#

but 13 CPM vs 8 cpm

#

thats 100 rage difference

#

a minute

floral pewter
raven nebula
jagged pier
#

yus

floral pewter
#

with some wiggle room for holding due to tank swaps or etc

floral pewter
#

but not 20%

raven nebula
#

ok... so takeaways... @jagged pier @modern brook

  1. More SB uptime
  2. Talents back to Devastator and Bolster
  3. Adjust my Soulbind tree
    Did I miss anything?

Is there anything going right?

jagged pier
#

dont spamm IP

#

fill the gap in shield block with SW or LS (with bolster)

modern brook
jagged pier
#

i dont run buffs souldbind so cant comment

modern brook
#

Always Be Closing casting

raven nebula
modern brook
#

Well like Jakey showed before, you're missing like 30 Thunderclaps in the same timeframe

#

and thats just the ability thats ona cd

#

IF you dont cast, you cant get a SS reset -> less damage, less rage, less evreyhthing

raven nebula
modern brook
#

Thats cause you're abusing the IP button mostly

#

You need to believe in your shield

jagged pier
#

like in my 7:11 kill i generate 3557 rage where in yours yes u die etc but u gen 1997 rage

#

so u are hardly using your generators

mossy sluice
#

you will have empty globals if youre not spending rage on revenge tbh

modern brook
#

But even on the pull without devestator

chilly brook
#

You spend rage on anything else?

modern brook
#

You cast Devestate 4 times

#

in nearly 7 minutes

chilly brook
#

I'm pretty sure revenge is our only rage spender

modern brook
#

If you're not using devestator you ~are~ global locked

#

and 4 casts is abysmally low on that time frame. We can chalk it to not being practiced without the talent but its just symptomatic of the greater problem of not hitting the actual buttons

thin ore
#

is there no one-handed str boe weapon? O.o

turbid cargo
#

nope!

#

at least there's like 4 agi weapons though

dapper coral
#

Can always use a green!

mossy sluice
#

@raven nebula do you have a trinket thats not pulsating stone heart?

turbid cargo
raven nebula
modern brook
#

yeah the button sucks

#

I would rather press nothing than have to use devestate again ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

brave jetty
#

is mastery extra garbo now with reprisal?

sweet summit
#

it gets even better with reprisal

floral pewter
#

the haste/str pvp trinket is pretty decent too I think, if you have/can get some conquest

brave jetty
#

really? does all the block go to crit block?

floral pewter
#

easier than farming for specific trinkets from M+ anyway

sweet summit
#

no

#

but you dont get mastery for passive block

#

you get it for crit block

#

and AP ofc

chilly brook
brave jetty
#

then how does it get improved by reprisal? it's still just a bunch of wasted normal block, right?

mossy sluice
#

higher block uptime, more blocked hits, more crit blocks

sweet summit
#

higher uptime on SB=more value from crit blocks

brave jetty
#

Oh, crit blocks aren't their own roll?

sweet summit
#

they are

#

but

chilly brook
#

Because the more blocks the more chances of crit block

sweet summit
#

it needs to be a block

#

before it can roll to a crit block

chilly brook
#

Check to block

ionic fern
chilly brook
#

Cool you blocked

#

Check to crit block

chilly brook
ionic fern
#

o.o

chilly brook
#

I know

#

Crazy

ionic fern
#

I guess it was the same with momentum

brave jetty
#

I guess I thought it'd be wasted because all the block % you get from the stat is pointless since you're going to have like 100% uptime in dungeons

chilly brook
#

Mastery block% isn't even a consideration

#

Mastery is good because AP/crit block

dark lark
#

You get it for crit block. Part of the reason warriors were indestructible in BFA was because of Bastion of Might giving us a ton of mastery

brave jetty
#

ah

chilly brook
#

BoM was nice buuuut really BFA just played to our strength of blockable damage and we did a lot of damage

dark lark
#

That was kinda my hope for conqueror banner, to be a new version of BoM. Nope I forgot that clap is still worse than a wet noodle

brave jetty
#

alright, I feel a bit better than about getting turbofucked by the vault with a high mastery neck

blazing condor
#

bom was nice with crashing thunder or whatever it was called

sweet summit
#

deafening crash?

dark lark
#

Unstoppable Force?

blazing condor
#

yes thanks sorry

chilly brook
#

Part of my problem with reprisal, it plays to our strength but our problem isn't blockable damage anyways in SL

blazing condor
#

deafening crash and bom stack

ionic fern

#

specially 8.0 deafening crash where you could have like a million seconds uptime on demo

it wasnt terrible just not that good either

I miss more Demo but reprisal feels good and impactful enough I don't really mind

chilly brook

o.o

plush tendon
#

I dont think any class is unplayable, but VDH is just clear cut the best, but I think the difference is smaller then most people realize

blazing condor
#

VDH ๐Ÿ˜ด

chilly brook
#

Plus my overall was higher running non reprisal build

ionic fern
#

sweet summit
#

wadduheck

ionic fern
#

are you sure you're playing it correctly

chilly brook
#

But I'm probably just mentally handicapped when it comes to charging

mossy sluice
#

^ i feel that

chilly brook
#

I mean

#

Leaving melee to charge back in pretty consistently

plush tendon
#

Getting a charge mid combat is rough

chilly brook
#

Running double time

dark lark
#

VDH is strong for keys because of its utility and mobility. I would argue that after 9.0.5 warrior damage is comparable and we're able to face tank more

chilly brook
#

Intervening the holy pally

ionic fern
#

Idk how you're doing less damage then o.o
I'm doing more. ๐Ÿ‘€
All the Avatars from AM and the free Revenges.

Leaping then charging back in ain't it

Whos ready to intervene melee to get hit by spiteful?

ionic fern
#

I barely leap tho.

blazing condor
#

griff's personalized copy of shadowlands is bugged and reprisal is actually f-tier

chilly brook
#

I'm sure it's good

sweet summit
#

can u block spiteful aas? peepostudy

chilly brook
#

Its felt like ass the keys I've ran it in

solemn magnet
#

Using reprisal is just awkward. I'm going to die on it with @chilly brook

plush tendon
#

last week was also rough to use reprisal

sweet summit
#

or is that counted as some weird non blockable ability shit

chilly brook
#

But hey

plush tendon
#

storming can go suck a nut

chilly brook
#

I'm probably being dumb with it

solemn magnet
#

Tornados were hell

blazing condor
#

storming is literally just an annoyance lmao

#

dont hurt or anything

#

just there to fuck with you

brave jetty
#

I actually love the gameplay of Reprisal. Leaping out, charging back in feels good lol

solemn magnet
#

It does like 10k a hit, wdym

grand drum
#

It does a good amount of damage

brave jetty
#

constantly hunting for good charge opportunities

chilly brook
#

Storming should be removed tbh

blazing condor
#

storming hits like a fart in the wind idk

#

i have had no issues with it

plush tendon
#

Make melee great again Blizzard

dark lark
#

Do you kite normally? I don't run double time, I kite a little bit for 1 SB to come back and then charge back in. Rinse repeat every 30 seconds

mossy sluice
#

my 4 brain cells cant handle using revenge first global. muscle memory ftl

dapper coral
#

just make storming spawn on ranged instead and have volcanic spawn on melee

#

ezpz

twilit jay
#

is the incrutable quanum device any good for us?

plush tendon
sterile moss
#

storming was a horrible prank for our first week with reprisal

#

but should be better now

Sometimes you can use storming to create enough distance between you and the mobs that you can charge

its weird how TC is so redundant nowdays

#

Ravager > charge > SS > revenge > SB is what I normally do

Sb on the charge

#

Get it rollin

#

Its already rolling

#

Your actual charge of shield block

#

Get the CD rolling

solemn magnet
#

Oh I see what you're saying

#

True

dense flame
#

Bolster on pull every pull

solemn magnet
#

Usually both charges aren't up after the first pull tho

dark lark
#

SB as soon as you have the rage for it, and it's not on GCD. Not a big deal

mellow gorge
#

imagine reprisal + bolster

#

100% shieldblock uptime

#

forever

solemn magnet
#

I'm thinking about it

mellow gorge
#

it's nice and all until you realise 4 minute shield wall and 1.5 minute avatar

#

but then again

#

bolster

plush tendon
#

I love bolster, it makes me feel like a DH with meta

#

๐Ÿ™‚

solemn magnet
#

LS feels kinda meh without the SB

mellow gorge
#

i think for reprisal imma just go full offensive

patent osprey
#

going to upgrade my reprisal to 235 ilvl for the views on twitch T_T

mellow gorge
#

LS is meh

#

without BS

#

but

patent osprey
#

Id rather upgrade my seismic T_T

Why not both.

Also..more views probably with a title like "190 Reprisal in a +23?!?!?!?!?!?!?"

it's a good thing i took one quick look at TL

hey Mwahi I said you were wrong earlier for recomending double potency on Pelagos in the Icy veins guide - is the a reason it does?

dark lark

Let us salvage legos!

Who wants to watch TL stream xD

blazing condor
#

i appreciate pika for taking that bullet so i dont have to ๐Ÿ™

craggy pilot
#

for SD, should i get Pride for 2nd boss? or is that not rly possible?

patent osprey
#

yes you want pride for every boss in SD

#

u can skip last boss pride if you want

dark lark
craggy pilot
#

with or without skips?

mellow gorge
#

what the hell do you mean by skipping pride for the last literal worst boss

blazing condor
#

its easier with skips

#

then clear the rest of the circle for 75%

dark lark
#

Skips

blazing condor
#

before going down to 3rd boss

plush tendon
#

I dont thinks its doable without skips for second boss

#

or at least, without meticulous % counting

dark lark
#

I shroud the 3 pack + custodian iirc

blazing condor
#

i usually shroud the pack before the gauntlet

mellow gorge
#

that sounds

#

really good actually

blazing condor
#

and shroud the 2 packs after the bridge before the 2nd boss "circle-room"

mellow gorge
#

but the issue is that

blazing condor
#

after taking the venthyr buff

mellow gorge
#

if you wipe

blazing condor
#

just dont wipe ๐Ÿ™‚

mellow gorge
#

easier said than done on Sad Depths

craggy pilot
#

how the fk do u get the 60% pride at 2nd boss ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

#

i get 60% way before it

blazing condor
#

do you skip?

dark lark
#

If you wipe in a push key you probably won't time anyway

mellow gorge
#

you skip the packs before the circle area thingy i take it

#

so the 2 overseers

craggy pilot
#

this gives 60%

mellow gorge
#

and maybe the miniboss ? i'm unsure if that's skippable though

jade vortex
#

Hey all. I'm currently Venthyr for damage, but making a hard swap into tanking on my warrior. Is Kyrian the play?

blazing condor
#

skip the blue mid pack and the one before it

#

take the smallies in the room after 1st boss

patent osprey
#

This is my Depths Route if you want pride every boss ^.^ and you want 7 stacks of the venthyr buff going into pride/2nd boss too

craggy pilot
#

skip you mean shroud?

dark lark
#

I skip 3 pack on bridge and custodian miniboss

mellow gorge
dark lark

I would recommend now that people not roll Night Fae, for the soul reason a large majority of DPS are Night Fae

literally the only reason, cause its siq af

@patent osprey that route doesnt seem to give pride on 3rd boss? or am i missing something?

Id personally do Emitter over GS

#

stats are meaty

yeh that's just down to personal preference

solemn magnet
mellow gorge
#

GS does 10% of my healing so i love it

solemn magnet
#

What ilvl is your spike? My 200 is ~5% of my healing.

mellow gorge
#

213 is mine

arctic wasp
#

both 226 and yeah i got liek 10 % too

#

i have a 200 scale wich performs similar to my 226 spike, so not sure if i want to change any of those for emmiter, my other option is a side grade (+haste - crit) with leech, feels meh xD

tulip finch
mellow gorge
#

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

#

wait what's the other option with leech?

#

sounds meaty

arctic wasp
#

waist

mellow gorge
#

i mean to me it sounds like an upgrade but that's just me

solemn magnet
#

I have a 226 emitter and keep swapping between the 200 spike and 197 hymnal. They're both fine. May try my 210 IQD this week till I get a scale (hopefully)

arctic wasp
#

it's a haste / crit leech waist 226, vs a vers - mastery one without lech

orchid mason
#

how much haste is too much haste?

robust panther
#

Iโ€™ve enjoyed necrolord tanking, and banner gives good buffs for my burst dps teammates. I havenโ€™t been lucky on trinkets unfortunately

mellow gorge
#

leech + haste is nice

arctic wasp
#

feels bad to not have an ilvl upgrade though ahha

sterile moss
solemn magnet
#

The leech isn't even worth considering, imo

arctic wasp
#

is really little healing but still something, prob 1 % xD

solemn magnet
#

Yeah

mellow gorge
#

i mean

#

if you take that

#

and leech your cape

arctic wasp
#

but if emmiter wont give me any new, if it performs very similar to spike, then that's 0 upgrade

mellow gorge
#

it'll be 3-4% ?

#

emiter is nice but i don't like it

#

i just like GS heal + dmg passive buff

#

i might take emitter at some point tho

ah. that's a lot, especially because it sums all the damage and blocked hits are less damage

Are people preferring Fueled by Violence or the Ignore Pain conduit? I know both are underwhelming, but I like to play whats the least underwhelming

neither

well

ignore pain is more useful

Im running Heimer, so I got 3 endurance

imo i think ignore pain conduit might be more useful

provided you deal damage

the fueled by violence at the end, as far as i did last time, it only did 60k healing total at the end

sterile moss

fbv way undertuned

it needs 50% healing for it to be nice

I saw many damage meters, I do a decent chunk of damage from dem wounds

but that's at the end of the dungeon

20% of it is 56.4k

It did quite a bit on my DK as well

Hi folks, quick question: Is reprisal still far ahead of the wall after the 2 second nerf?

in damage

yes

m+ yeah - the wall is fine for raiding

wall still makes you tonky

M+ specifically yeah

Which would be my best Back Enchant for Protection Warrior?
I'm currently using: +20 Stamina & Minor Speed Increase
Is that the best one & I should continue using it? Or is there a stronger one?

Thanks in advance! ~Husky

elfin nova
#

The reprisal evaluation in the pins took the 2s nerf into account

shrewd bronze
#

Gotcha

mellow gorge
#

use the one w 30 stam or 20 stam with leech

elfin nova
#

As they told us it was going to be nerfed when it hit live

#

They just forgot to change it for a few days

shrewd bronze
#

I only have soul ash to craft 1 (wall or reprisal) so need to pick the best option for m+

mellow gorge
#

reprisal for m+

shrewd bronze
#

Undisputed?

mellow gorge

well it depends

plush tendon
#

No, you can play what you prefer

mellow gorge
#

it's best for damage

shrewd bronze
#

Like for +20's

mellow gorge
#

wall is nice cause big massive defensive cooldown

#

yes

#

all in all

plush tendon
#

Reprisal is 'better', but if you dont like it, you dont like it

mellow gorge
#

it's how you wanna play

sterile moss
#

it's the best, period imo

shrewd bronze
#

I don't mind the playstyle

#

I'm used to intervene

mellow gorge
#

if you wanna be a beyblade without the blade

#

then go for reprisal

#

if you wanna be a walking wall

#

go for the wall

plush tendon

of course, only true chads take Seismic Reverb

no no

only true people take leaper

and leave the dungeon after pulling the first pack

Leaper is only good if you are fury

MW - give them a chance, eventually you'll find one that isn't garbage

Just like prot warriors! High skill floor

Higher*

yeah but unfortunately, a mediocre shaman will beat out that skilled MW right now

I think the resto shaman hype has died down quite a bit

its all about them Holy Paladins making your dps look bad

no kidding. I was running a 15 HoA last night and this holy paladin was ahead of me in damage for a couple trash pulls like WHAT?! so I kicked my blocks up and lived that revenge life for a while

They are straight pumpers

if the group doesnt need healing, they just turn all of that into damage

combine that with Wings and Ashen Hollow then they are busting

crit block becomes more significant, but normal block chance evaporates

Crit block is still rng
