sick sentinel
#

that was just the "i've had enough" moment

hot oxide
#

Weโ€™ve all*

solemn sage
#

Have that moment about 8 times a week haha

olive merlin
#

any NF prot was here wishing they went Kyrian?

marsh aurora
#

how do you guys deal with orbs soaking on spires 3rd boss ?

fading quiver
#

get a mage or hunter to immune it

marsh aurora
#

there's no way a war soaks it all right ?

fading quiver
#

dont think so

#

cant even spell reflect one of them

#

I mean, you can try to with shield wall and everything blown

#

but all my groups just use a mage/hunter

#

if you dont have one then people take what they can

sick sentinel
#

SR is -20% magic though

#

it helps a bit, i cant say if enough to soak on high keys

fading quiver
#

on that boss its better to use SR on the stomp

floral pewter
#

ideally you have someone with an immunity do it, or split it up among the party

mighty valley
#

I can't think of a time I've done it without someone having an immunity

#

guess i'm lucky

spring umbra
#

oof.... just ate a top because the orbs bugged out

#

never seen it bug like that before... was literally on a loop between the 1st/2nd platforms

mighty valley
#

bouncing between portals? damn haven't seen that

spring umbra
#

yea i normally go right / left and it finally fixed it after we switched to the opposite

bleak chasm
#

Incredibly lame question, but should I gear up a prot warrior or bdk if I want to do some double dps arenas with an offspec on the side?

prisma bear
#

probably dk because warrior badly needs a healer

#

if you can get a healer then warrior is much better than dk

bleak chasm
#

Yeah kinda what I figured. Just figured I'd get some opinions. Ultimately I'll level and gear both, tbh.

#

Is prot slapping in keys now with the new leggo?

prisma bear
#

prot was good before now its great

#

reprisal but also the other buffs were huge

timber ledge
#

Ever a time to go Wall over Reprisal in M+?

sturdy sable
#

Maybe DoS

timber ledge
#

What about SoA?

unique shale
#

there is no must that you have to use wall or Reprisal in m+ or raid

hexed rune
#

Is there a vod of someone using reprisal in a key or raid? I feel like it's just not clicking with me. Wall with bolster feels easier still

unique shale
#

According to legends they are using Reprisal in mythic sludge

noble nacelle
#

Does attack power have any defensive benefits

sturdy sable
#

You can charge every slam for sludge so why not

#

Or stop or what ever his circle around him is called

unique shale
sturdy sable
#

IP scales with attack power

#

Iirc

noble nacelle
#

I'm debating switching my prot warrior to orc from maghar.

#

Trying to weigh out blood fury vs ancestral call

noble nacelle
#

Yeah brown orc allied race

unique shale
#

i mean it worth going from maghar to vulpera if you ask me

torn stump
#

should switch to panda master race

#

extra girth makes you tankier

#

its science

noble nacelle
#

Idk stacking blood fury with conq banner plus lead by example is insane attack power buff

hazy sparrow
#

racials are worthless

unique shale
#

but pressing ip is not worth it

#

all time

#

too much rage and only good for magic or out of sb

noble nacelle
#

I use ignore pain when I am gonna cap rage

#

And have sb up

unique shale
#

still not worth it

cinder nova
#

Would you consider it problematic that I'm topping damage during the opener in M SK?

noble nacelle
#

How so? I'm generating rage faster than I can spend it with revenge

unique shale
#

then revenge more

waxen cradle
#

I find myself pressing IP when I am going to cap rage, more specifically on AoE pulls where sometimes depening on what talents I am running, and if I am in raid, or M+. Now all this bares in mind if pressing revenge will mean I get shit on because I like damage ๐Ÿ˜›

unique shale
#

or you lacking haste

#

to spend it fast

noble nacelle
#

I'm gonna press shield slam over revenge

unique shale
#

why ?

#

in aoe you have to revenge

cinder nova
#

^^^

#

Capping rage is useless.

#

AOE DPS is more important.

waxen cradle
#

Like I said it really depends on the size of the pull, and if I will get shit on and what not. "Normally" I only find myself hitting IP in big ass AoE pulls in raid where people derp pulled and 100 casts may get off and shit all over me

unique shale
#

more then 2 targets still worth doing revenge then SS

cinder nova
#

??? What do you mean derp pulled in raid

#

There's nothing to "Pull" in an encounter.

unique shale
#

in big pulls if you have SB up it does nothing to you

hazy sparrow
#

with repirsal we run double time yeh?

cinder nova
#

Yes.

waxen cradle
#

On a boss encounter obviously, I meant on trash pulls in M+

unique shale
#

still same

hazy sparrow
#

bueno

waxen cradle
#

Or when clearing to bosses in CN Mythic, when people are stupid because trash does not matter so fuck it lets waste people's time mentality's happen

noble nacelle
#

Is critical block chance multiplicative or additive

unique shale
#

crit and mastery are not good defensive stats cause it is base on RNG so haste/versa is always best

prisma bear
#

ilvl is more important that stat specifics

unique shale
noble nacelle
#

Yes but from a mechanics perspective

waxen cradle
#

Ultimately yes I try and forgo using IP unless there are scenarios where not using it will cause me to die. Unfortunately I have to pug keys a lot so counting on pugged key players to not miss interrupts is not always realistic, and god forbid I not do all of the interrupts because that is realistic

cinder nova
#

That's not a tank issue. If your DPS are pulling shit you'rebetter off resetting than trying to fix it mid pull

#

Min-maxing a fuck-up is a waste of time

waxen cradle
#

True enough

noble nacelle
#

If I get hit by an attack is it X% to be blocked or Y% to critical block.

Or is it a X% to block and then a Y% for that block to be a critical block

unique shale
noble nacelle
#

That's not what I'm asking

waxen cradle
#

Block is on its on roll, I do not remember is Crit Block rolls first or second if I remember right its second ?

unique shale
#

but you are talking about critical block

waxen cradle
#

I really dont remember if Crit Block and normal block roll together or not

#

Thought it was seperate

unique shale
#

cirt gives Perry

noble nacelle
#

Yes we know

waxen cradle
#

@noble nacelle Ok what are you asking exactly

hazy sparrow
#

hey while running repirsal or the wall, what do you run usaully for your 45 talent?

waxen cradle
#

Sorry between my conversation and yours we went off the rails trying to get us on the same page

noble nacelle
#

Is critical block its own roll or is it dependent on block chance

unique shale
#

own roll

waxen cradle
#

Yeah I knew it was its on roll, all I did not remember is if it rolls first or second when crit block is granted

#

If I remember right crit block rolls second after block

noble nacelle
#

So then it's dependant on block?

waxen cradle
#

As crit block is obviously a chance and SBlock itself is so easy to keep up especially with reprisal now.

cinder nova
#

Yes, whenever you block you have a chance to crit block.

#

Don't overthink it.

waxen cradle
#

Yeah second roll after block

#

chance so yeah

cinder nova
#

Any deliberate effort to try and maximize crit block outside of Legion is like omega-kek levels of misplaced focus.

waxen cradle
#

Yeah agreed

noble nacelle
#

Okay that's what I was asking. I'd I have a 30% chance to block and 20% to crit block I have a 6% chance to critical block an attack in reality

cinder nova
#

Except you don't because you should be blocking every attack with Shield Block.

#

I can assure you that devoting any amount of mental throughput on the probability is a literal waste of your time.

#

And you will see zero gains from it.

#

It's not clinically useful information.

noble nacelle
#

No I know. I just like to know how the game actually calculates what is happening for my information

torn stump
#

its just a dependent probability event

#

given that a block DOES happen, theres a chance to critically block

waxen cradle
#

Especially since the only way to get a increased flat block % increase to block outside of SB is through shields. So its why we try and get the highest item level shield we can. Now all this being said was made less relevant with the Reprisal leggo

unique shale
#

why block it when you can Perry it

noble nacelle
waxen cradle
#

Because we get free extra SB time so wasted a lot of time trying to worry about that whole idea is pointless

noble nacelle
#

But in theory mastery is then more valuable when shield block is up. Because more blocks will happen which by extension means more critical blocks will happen

unique shale
torn stump
#

the only number that matters where prot mastery concerned is the chance to critically block

waxen cradle
#

A nice buff for us as tanks would be for enemies up to a certain X number, take damage when they they hit our shield. One can dream I guess

cinder nova
#

It's not.

torn stump
#

because when you use shield block

cinder nova
#

Mastery is our lowest priority stat.

torn stump
#

you 100% block

cinder nova
#

You are 1000x overthinking this.

#

What you're doing is trying to game a slot machine.

waxen cradle
#

@noble nacelle Mastery for us is absolute the last stat you want. To be fair even crit beats it in terms of value as crit factors into more damage, and healing.

noble nacelle
#

Im not trying to break the meta or anything I'm just trying to get the deepest understanding of how mastery works

signal plover
#

Gotta love NA night chat

noble nacelle
#

And yes in know I'm like 600 haste 450 vers 350 crit 198 mast on my warrior

torn stump
#

your regular block chance from mastery is largely irrelevant because you gain 100% block chance from active mitigation (shield block)

cinder nova
#

^^^^^^^^^

torn stump
#

so even in a hypothetical world where mastery was our best stat

unique shale
#

i feel nothing with SB up in big pulls or small

torn stump
#

the only number that would matter on our mastery is the crit block chance

cinder nova
#

Like, have all the curiosity about the numbers as you want, but none of it is informative information that'll change how you play.

#

Which is the point we're trying to make.

#

Chasing this is fruitless.

unique shale
#

so why have stronger SB while you feel nothing when SB is up

waxen cradle
#

@noble nacelle Long story short if doing M+, Haste/Crit=Vers, If doing raid Haste/Vers/Crit

noble nacelle
#

I'm not asking about stat weights at all

torn stump
#

double edit big fail

unique shale
#

lol

waxen cradle
#

Sucks when you can't get a damn 226 chest with Haste/Crit because rng hates you

#

trust me feelsbadman

unique shale
#

feels bad when you cannot get your bis trinkets from start of exp

noble nacelle
#

I got a 226 weapon crit/mast this week and was happysad

waxen cradle
#

^^^ Yeah that feels worse

#

Still no Scale from rng loot box me for >.<!!!! rrrrreeeee!!!!

unique shale
#

i still have darkmoon tricket XD

noble nacelle
#

Im just gonna spam DoS next week and get a 210 and upgrade it

waxen cradle
#

true is a option, but even then your still rng's bitch

#

maybe less

#

but you still are

noble nacelle
#

Yeah but as long as I don't cap valor the. I dont feel so bad

#

Because then I can use that valor for other pieces that are not 220

waxen cradle
#

I still say Blizzard is a bit over obsessed with rng controlling loot. I get it of course as how else will they slow down how fast we gear

#

Truly a brilliant idea, whole loot slot machine

#

Creating a gambling obsession in WoW ๐Ÿ™‚ genius

noble nacelle
#

There should be a broker at the start of each M+ that you can talk to and pick a slot and then the loot rolls will be weighted to that slot

wanton condor
#

the trick is to get a group who wants the cube and has a tank loot spec

#

so hpal, uhdk

hazy sparrow
#

so how much % is 400 mastery ?

#

just curious

wanton condor
#

maybe two more uhdk

noble nacelle
#

So if I'm going for scale I can be like oh I'm interested in trinkets this run. And then you have a higher chance to get trinkets in your loot roll. Could be isq could be scale

waxen cradle

@unique shale nice post

Wowpedia

Mastery is a mechanic and stat introduced in patch 4.0.1. Each specialization has its own Mastery, offering benefits appropriate to that spec's role and abilities. Masteries' effects vary, increasing certain types of damage dealt, providing bonus DoT or HoT effects, or even generating free extra melee or spell attacks. Mastery is available at le...

oh damn every class has a diffrent value

waxen cradle
#

How intelligent is pissing up a wet rope ? Answer that question, and then apply your finding to your mastery question

#

They are equal in value, and intelligence concerning each other

noble nacelle

Yes everyone gets different % from mastery rating

anyone wanna look at my log and give me feed back ?

torn gust
#

first time doing a timed NW 15, felt good and easy with the reprisal leggo.

waxen cradle
#

When I think about going Necro I ask these questions, will I ever be in a scenario outside of raid where its relevant ? How much of a defensive/control/and damage boost do I lose swapping from Kyrian/NFae ? And can I, and am I willing to give up my Phial, and steward homie. 2 out of 3 of those are for me ALWAYS hard nopes not happening and not giving up. I go with the whole 2/3rds majority when that happens and a hard fuck that

unique shale
#

which neck do you go big haste /mastery or big cir/versa

noble nacelle
#

Vers/haste pvp neck

unique shale
#

well not everybody can pvp

waxen cradle
#

I like the crit vers because I feel like a tard getting the mastery, but the haste is nice. I do not pvp because I never dps so I am stuck with Haste/Mastery or Crit/Vers

noble nacelle
#

I'd probably go whatever balances with my rings well

#

If I have a lot of haste on rings then crit/vers neck

waxen cradle
#

I run Azure Venom Choker right now, if I can get a high vers lower crit neck I will be happy but I cannot right now

#

Besides if I was going to go for a higher vers neck anyway I would just pvp. But again I dont dps so I am stuck

noble nacelle
#

I'm at 1687 right now so I'm close to 220 neck soon

waxen cradle
#

However if I can get rng luck through rings and get good a good Vers/Crit ring I "might" gun for the Haste/Mastery neck

noble nacelle
waxen cradle
#

@noble nacelle It is a small amount but a find in M+ its value is inferior to Kyrian/Fae

unique shale
#

only venthyr

noble nacelle
#

This week especially I noticed how strong it is when I have lien 60+ necrotic stacks and the pack is almost dead and I just gotta live a little longer

unique shale
#

survive whole sire phase 1 with only condemn

waxen cradle
#

True but I am DiD, and Kyrian, so unless I am literally paying no attention at all or not running from mobs at all at high stacks I never get that many stacks

unique shale
#

i just leap and let them to get close and door

#

feels like dh kitting XD

noble nacelle
#

Yeah but it makes you feel poggers for survival with that many stacks

#

Shockwave leap doesn't always works for inspire week

#

Especially in pug society

unique shale
#

i start kitting with 20 stacks

#

that's why you need to cc inspire one in big pulls

waxen cradle
#

True but then you run a hunter, a mage, druid, hell near anything, and you should have a ton of time

noble nacelle
#

That's a waste of dps

unique shale
#

i mean i never trust pug

noble nacelle
#

Just live

#

Tank the inspire with

#

Live long enough for your dps to nuke the pack down

unique shale
#

i had hunters who couldn't use traps or aggro buff

noble nacelle
#

Yeah having challenging shout was nice when I did my 14 halls this morning.

#

I ran with a fire mage who was 226

unique shale
#

if you are pugging with expatiation that people kick and slow you might be surprise that they don't

noble nacelle
#

He would combust and there was no hope for my 195 ass to keep aggro

unique shale
#

i barely having problem to hold aggro for fire mage unless they use all of their cds at opener which it become shit show without challenging shout

hazy sparrow
#

uh and fire take a shit on agro

waxen cradle
#

I swear I love when dps pull bosses for you in keys. The evil side in me says let them die

#

and then taunt

#

taking aggro from bursting hard is one thing, pulling bosses before me... oh man all the evil in me comes out

noble nacelle
#

Eh they just want to get their precast off for that dps boost

Coming to a keystone near you

hot oxide

lol

cinder nova
#

Am I insane for expecting more than 2.8K DPS from a Destro lock on M SK?

distant crystal
#

tbh looking at overall dmg on M SK is kinda insane in general

#

dmg to shields all that matters bb

#

otoh 2.8K sounds like he might be alt tabbed half the fight

cinder nova
#

What if I told you he only did 137K on Shade

#

And as a tank, I did 166K

#

And the other destro lock did 285K to Shade

cinder nova
#

And on our first kill of M HD he did 2.2K DPS for a total of less than 1M

distant crystal
#

ime in pugs the problem isn't people not kicking

#

it's everybody kicking the first cast

cinder nova
#

Lol... our hunter died just shy of 4 minutes into the fight.

#

And did more damage than him when he died a whole minute after

#

I can't even...

#

Pretty sure this is a him thing, not an unreasonable expectation.

chilly brook
#

@cinder nova just sounds like a not great player

cinder nova
#

I raised a concern about general lack of high output in our DPS' lower half and he was the first to jump to the defense.

#

In dead last.

#

I can only imagine he's trying to keep himself in a raid spot.

#

Tired of watching him pull shit numbers.

unique shale
#

i got [Macabre Sheet Music] is it good ?

cinder nova
#

For tanking?

#

What? 226?

unique shale
#

no 213 for tanking replacing my darkmoon trinket

cinder nova
#

I mean, yeah - get rid of your darkmoon trinket, but I'd also get red of sheet music asap because it's not always viable to go collecting images on every fight.

#

A PVP trinket would be better tbh

unique shale
#

i have no bis trinket tho so i am holding on what i have

cinder nova
#

I figured, but I'd definitely find a way to offload sheet music. It's not terrible, but the need to go scavenging the spirits can sometimes be a cunt and a half during some bosses.

#

Or just a non-option at times.

unique shale
#

bright side is 8 more str and same effect haste

cinder nova
#

You wont get any haste without collecting the dance partners iirc

unique shale
#

i know but is it kyrain you have to collect orbs for mastery ?

cinder nova
#

You don't collect orbs for mastery, no.

#

Orbs extend the duration.

#

And they have gigantic hitboxes.

#

Not quite the same.

unique shale
#

nobody collect orbs lol i think i am weirdo here

cinder nova
#

People collect orbs where possible, yes.

#

Moving for orbs is less invasive than moving for dance partners.

unique shale
#

i am venthyr so i have to dance any way peepoHappy

chilly brook

I went NF at the start to avoid the orbs

#

Fuck that shit

what ever happened to our shield enchants?

cinder nova

Died in Cata.

#

I'd suck toes for a shield spike.

#

But at this point the only people that'd use it are Warriors and Paladins, and they're not gonna make an item only for 2 classes.

fiery narwhal

Maybe shamans in pvp? Sharpening stones came back so spikes would be neat for the tank version

distant crystal

night wadi
#

is it ok to spam condemn as venthyr?

#

or threat multiplier low?

urban portal
#

I'm fairly sure the threat is multiplied 5x for prot in general

#

Doesn't make sense for condemn to generate less than execute

#

That being said leave enough rage to cast ip and block

frail wyvern
#

In raid/ST you want to keep SB up and dump leftover rage into condemn. Not worth much in AoE situations though

chilly brook
#

All the condemn casts

night wadi

thank you

arctic bridge
#

Just about to start gearing up my prot warrior. Currently Venthyr but I won't be doing any progress raiding on it so I'm going to change, torn between Necrolord or Kyrian...

half sapphire
#

If u are thinking about pvp, I'd say kyrian. But it sounds like you are going to be doing a lot of un-corrdinated content if there is no progress raiding or M+. If I were you I'd consider kyrian vs. night fae

frail wyvern
#

Do you play other specs too? Pvp and keys?

arctic bridge
#

I will mostly be doing M+ with guildies on this Char up to level 15/16 but not high, probably reclearing HC on it as well

strong forum
#

Then don't play necro

#

Necro is only for pushing literal World first content and even then there are arguments against it

arctic bridge
#

ok, thanks. That spear on a 1 min CD does look fun.

half sapphire
#

NGL, fae-quake is one of the most satisfying moves to use in M+, but I have never tried kyrian so I am biased

frail wyvern
#

If I move my warrior from venthyr I would probably go NF

I just don't think I can bring myself to be a big prot meat shield fairy warrior

not for what i wanna do i don't think it is

half sapphire
#

I mean looking past asthetic choice, I can tell you that theatre of pain will never be an issue again. The fae-quake can handle all those spell casters, their casts are so slow it interupts them for 15 seconds. Same goes for quite a few packs in SoA. I just can't imagine not having it due to picking kyrian and being a kitey boi

unique shale

still no problem doing m+ with venthyr

It's not the best covenant for m+ though as prot

unique shale

i mean for fun i would go necro tho

I mained prot all of BFA so I am comfortable on it but I want more of an aoe toolkit

is ravager preferred over UF now?

unique shale
#

then NF is all of about aoe damage

#

no still ravager

half sapphire
#

UF is ded last time i checked

arctic bridge
half sapphire
#

But it's okay we got devestator back, and ravager with booming voice deals tons of dmg

steep horizon
#

Mmmm devastator...

frail wyvern
#

If you even run booming voice with reprisal changes

half sapphire
#

I prob shud be running reprisal, but I like spammy shield walls

steep horizon
#

So prot warrior being treated like the god it is?

arctic bridge
#

i will be crafting reprisal, it seems really fun

steep horizon
#

People recognition!

frail wyvern
#

I crafted reprisal but I do very few keys on my warrior

ebon hound
#

With Reprisal you can run AM, which still results in spammy Shield Walls deswind

half sapphire
#

I rly should try it out, I am just stuck in my 9.0 bubble

#

maybe with 9.1

unique shale
#

me too

#

Reprisal feels wired to me

frail wyvern
#

You gotta intervene and charge a lot otherwise its basically worth nothing. Dunno if I enjoy doing that as much as traditional face tanking ๐Ÿ˜‚

half sapphire
#

in raids I will do stuff like that to min-max rage gain, but it kinda feels awkward to use charge and then get shield block while not tanking. It def looks like a M+ lego

#

unless I want to fuck with boss positioning for 8 sec of shield block

#

:monkaHmm:

unique shale
#

lol

#

raid leader meanwhile /kick saikomachi

frail wyvern
#

I mean some fights you can game 4s of SB from it, but at that point you lose a gcd or 2 of dps prior to taunt swap so probably not worth

half sapphire
#

besides most bossses don't require you to have 70+% shield block time, unless you want to try and solo tank sludgefist i guess

#

or SLG

Im currently venthyr. I tank, and also fury for m+. I tank and dps Heroic CN. Out of NF and kyrian what should i consider that could be better? Soulbinds and whatnot?

lime urchin

Unless you are pushing the limits all are fine. I prefer spear and phial from kyrian for m+ while others prefer NF and itโ€™s AA and pumping numbers.

I suppose if you play dps often too, NF would be a bit stronger damage wise.

sick sentinel
#

Ok cool. And while im still venthyr is draven the pick? Or is it just up to me and not matter much.

surreal sinew
#

draven for dmg reduction, nadja for pumping, i'd say

sick sentinel
#

Ok. I think ill stay draven while trying to get KSM.

surreal sinew
#

yeah, interupt crit bonus is nice too for keys

#

i liked nadja for raid parses

sick sentinel
#

Did you pick the 3% damage increase?

surreal sinew
#

consumable buff seemed more regular but i tried the 3% increase too (lot of logs with it)

sick sentinel
#

Ok cool

surreal sinew
#

for pure dmg and parsing that really wasn't the biggest difference

playing like an arse and spamming condemn did the job

I am currently using Afenar warrior WA, but for prot i dont like it very much. What weakaura set, or weakauras do you guys use to make your life easier?

surreal sinew

i use luxthos's pack

i use afenar for my main (spriest) and have been trying to use it for prot but, i dont like it

it's really hard to see your defensive info, shield block duration and ignore pain value

but it's quite a bit of clutter in the center of the screen

elfin ginkgo

yeah i agree

im very new to tanking so im not super sure what information i need readily available

i need a clear Shield block wa and a good ignore pain wa i guess

i'd suggest you browse the prot warrior's you stream (there are some in the pins) and see if you can get any inspiration out of their uis

ye im trying to figure it out, that's a puzzler

it's not trash percent, it doesnt seem to correlate with any of his stats

its tracking mob count in some way

it miight be the weekaura that shows you when to move to the next section of dungeon

idk what exactly tho?

ye i think that's probably it

because it's going down with %

I just remember the thresholds
87ish % in soa before going to last boss
84.6ish% in plaguefall going to last boss
79ish% hoa before skipping
67% in NW before going up
What else is there
76% before jumping down to 3rd boss in SD

That's pretty much it I think

Did they change some trash % in NW btw?
I've been doing the same route as always but now we end up at 99% before 3rd boss which is weird.

somebody crushed the numbers how much benefit you get with AM over Bolster on your DPS? I Still tend to Bolster right now because i find myself not optimising my reprisal in every pull and having a missing SB sometimes really really hurts.

think the easiest way is to sim yourself with both talents

but if you're struggling without bolster probably stick to it for now

i run it often just out of laziness

Hi guys, for NF tanks. Is it better to go Niya or Korayn for M+?

I like Korayn, First Strike is great for initial aggro and overall dmg

i see, i initially thought Brrrs was better for dps till i saw that site

surreal sinew

burs was nerfed

placid oar
#

ah i see

topaz crescent

idk if First Strike is more dmg than burrs, but its for sure better for snap threat on pull

placid oar
#

i guess i shall check out Icy Veins for the recommended soulbind combo

#

Thank you Iso and Numi

pulsar kiln
#

You can use adds to trigger First strike again, like yeeting an axe on the foxes on Mistcaller

surreal sinew
#

not nf so i haven't tried it out

#

would think with reprisal you wouldn't need the extra damage for aggro

topaz crescent
#

maybe not, extra dmg is always nice though

surreal sinew

so i guess it'd depend on if you want the extra damage

#

yeah

topaz crescent
#

I play with a Ret friend and I still struggle sometimes even with Reprisal and First Strike lol

ionic fern
surreal sinew

he shouldn't have his burst on every pull

you can play around challenging shout and using damage cds every other pull

yep true, need to improve on that

Haven't tried out Face your Foes and double endurance, will give that a try. Been using First Strike as fury so gotten so used it

is there anyway to determine the DPS gain from banner for your bois over the course of a dungeon (not sims, but in practice)? Was doing a ToP with my Demonology friend (and giving him banner) and he was a pumper on bosses, but still would be interesting to know how much he gained

we murdered a Mists key because we thought we could just blast down the inspiring fast enough given prideful that we wouldn't have to worry about the tenders

we were wrong

plush tendon

If we have to CC the inspired mob (sometimes you dont have to), we try to combine it with a pack that does get affected by it

cant CC inspired, kill the lethal inspired mobs, then bring in the inspired mob cause you are sort of forced to pull whatever Ion gives you in the maze

Venthyr good ST dmg

But they're all pretty good. Venthyr does really well in raids, NF for damage and stun, Kyrian for tether, Necro only with coordinated groups.

Necro feels underwhelming though I'd suggest kyrian or NF they are great for all warrior specs

plush tendon

its hard to gauge value from Necro other then sims and what not since its damage doesnt show up very clearly on meters (easy to see AA or Spear pump)

But realistically, play what you like since in the long run, Cov choice has very little impact on us relative to one another

yea, dont really think about it

#

like, he would be in front of me, and the knockback would toss me the wrong way

strong forum
uneven mason
#

or he'd melee me in the back ignoring shield

#

No I mean, he'd be facing the right way,

#

and I'd get chucked through him

#

off the platform

chilly brook
#

Just charge

uneven mason
#

so I'd be facing the wrong direction

chilly brook
uneven mason

for charge

Turn

You get knocked towards your back

And charge

Wherever you're facing

I think

#

That's how it seems to be on mythic

chilly brook
#

Or save yourself with heroic leap

uneven mason
#

Me --> <-- him
Meknockback---------him-------->

#

it was down from dealing with HoD ><

chilly brook
#

You can leap back to the platform midair

uneven mason
#

big RIP

strong forum
#

Ye at that moment I think the mythic people run through him

uneven mason
#

but yeah it pulled me through him

strong forum
#

For the last hit or shatter

uneven mason
#

like it did the mirroed version

strong forum
#

They walk through him, to then get knocked the other way

#

The position of his sword is where he knocks you, or some bullshit, that's what it looks like on mythic atleast

uneven mason
#

Just trying to figure out if it was desync or a bug

#

yeah everyone else went the proper direction

limber charm
#

What stats should i put on my legendary?

uneven mason
#

I was the only one that went WEEEEEEEE

...if I SR the knockback does it pull me instead?

I like vers; once I have enough haste, me want dat vers ๐Ÿ™‚

I'm just hypothetically talking out of my ass Ikari BTW, haven't done sire this year yet I think

chilly brook
#

I'm on sludge in mythic so cant offer any real input for that

plush tendon

#

Sludge fucking sucks as melee

plush tendon
#

oh wait, do you not tank raid?

chilly brook
#

Nope

#

Not anymore

plush tendon
#

I have a hard time enjoying the game when im not tanking

chilly brook
#

Tanked through inerva

#

Got fed up with my group, moved onto another guild as dps

frail wyvern
#

I got knocked in a weird direction on sire before. My back was towards the middle of the platform with him at the edge, maybe an uncommon bug

vestal moat
#

If you SR the knockback you do not get pulled or pushed at all in mythic. Thatโ€™s very important for one of them.

chilly brook
#

๐Ÿ“ˆ

#

Free rage

frail wyvern
#

That's good to know, I shall try it

chilly brook
#

Unless it's the overlap

#

Then that makes sense

vestal moat
#

The overlap with the lasers is the one. Otherwise I save sr for blood price.

chilly brook
#

Ye

#

He blood prices in p3?

vestal moat
#

Yeah itโ€™s massive damage esp if you alrdy got scorn and he will melee or inevitable right after if youโ€™re not careful.

chilly brook
#

Huh

strong forum
#

Mythic p3 is easier than heroic p3

#

Except for blood price dmg

chilly brook
#

Shows you how much I pay attention to the world first stuff

toxic otter
#

the ravage/massacre/knock overlap is much harder than anything in heroic p3

#

can you actually "cap" valor as in if you hover on the currency it says like maximum 5k/6,5k even if i only have 2k currently

polar radish
#

its cap on earned, not earned-spent

#

so yes

blazing condor
#

fuk

#

when does the valor cap reset then lmao

strong forum
#

Next season

#

And it'll start with 750 valor

#

And increase 750 valor per week

#

Or smth like that

#

Literally like conquest

blazing condor
#

i get it

#

but kinda weird tbh

strong forum
#

Why

#

Makes perfect sense in the grand scheme of things, but there is 1 currency missing, valor should be to buy the piece and justice should be the infinitely grindable currency to upgrade pieces instead of hard capped valor

#

then it would be a good system

Is it worth taking Double Time with Reprisal to help the in and out playstyle and maintain Shield Block?

strong forum
#

If you don't need stormbolt, it's not bad yes

blazing condor
#

ya but with the current system its weird

#

like having seasonal honor caps

strong forum
#

peepostudy that's just how it works

#

Honor cap is infinite, you just can't hold more than 15k at once, but past that you can still get more if you spend honor again

blazing condor
#

ye ik

#

but it feels weird to have valor = conquest with nothing inbetween

strong forum
#

Well yeah, valor system itself is dogshit

blazing condor
#

thats the point im tryna make

#

No man you have to plan out what you want to upgrade for the next 4 months

#

Can't just upgrade all willy nilly

Yeah it's just bad

red tree
#

Gg doods

strong forum
#

Doesn't work as catchup, which it was intended for

plush tendon
#

It just feels bad; youll get the item you were looking for after running a single dungeon 15 times, then not upgrade it till after weekly box just in case

chilly brook
plush tendon
chilly brook
#

And you can get 226 gear/233weapons

blazing condor
#

big think

red tree
#

You get to buy a specific piece then you use completely disposable currency to upgrade.

#

Pve gearing still sucks even if they tried to fix it

plush tendon
#

I think the way to do it is give valor in dungeons for upgrades, but get rid of that stygia drop from loot crate and just give us a currency and after X amount of weeks if you dont take a item you can buy a item you want

lavish oracle
#

Well I can't get a 233 weapon

remote tusk
#

Should've used the same system for PvE

lavish oracle
#

Because I'm bad

chilly brook
#

Get rid of m+ drops

#

Make a vendor

#

With all the dungeon gear

remote tusk
#

Buy a base weapon with Valor, upgrade it with Heroism or locked behind achievements like PvP.

#

Mythic Sire needed for 233 items.

chilly brook
#

Wut

#

No lmao

remote tusk
#

Yeah

chilly brook
#

M+ shouldn't be forced into raid tf

plush tendon
chilly brook
#

Just make 233 a separate m+ accomplishment

plush tendon
#

make it 20s in all dungeons!

remote tusk
#

All 20s in time then

chilly brook
#

Sure

remote tusk
#

Only for weapon 233

#

Similar to 2.4k rating

Should be 233 weapon plus cosmetic mog imo

Cosmetic mog pog

at how many necrotic stacks should i be worried and try to kite?

Never kite...if u die, que up in discord and say "wtf, no heals", then leave group

Congrats ur now KSM

Ive gone to 50 with no issue if I have SB up and the damage intake is low

chilly brook
# signal plover Aka recolor lol

Honestly I wish they'd put out at least one special xmog for m+ each xpac. Ideally each season but at least per xpac. The challenge mode stuff was dope af and it's a shame it only was two expansions

remote tusk
#

There is still time for that..

#

We've already received quite a few unique plate transmog options, same for weaponry.

Quick question, how easy was it for you as Prot to Pug towards somewhat higher keys?
I am asking since I completed this seasons KSM on my Prot Paladin and it was rough. I do get it, Paladin is not meta, was never meta and supposedly will never be meta but man had I have a hard time getting into groups to complete my 15s ....
Now that my rio is beyond 1.4k I get accepted rather easy in 15-17 keys but at around 1.25k to 1.3k - very tough. How was it as Prot Warri?

blazing condor
#

i would duo with a mate who was WW mostly so not entirely soloq but i didnt have much issues

#

i think now with the valor and all its probably best to push your own keys to ksm

#

if you get a high demand dungeon like DoS or MoTS you can easily get very good people to help you

urban tusk
#

Mhh I see. Prot Warri might be more in pugging favor then ...

chilly brook
blazing condor
#

can only talk for myself i have no idea how it actually is. I did get a lot of declined applies though around 15s probably because of my class

urban tusk
chilly brook
#

Although you could just do your own key

blazing condor
#

honestly pushing your own keys - albeit annoying at times - is probably the best way
