Guess ill stay kyrian. Not that much of coordinated groups in the guild atm haha
Tnx!
Kyrian is a the generic pick because its very good, but lots of groups need that Kyrian
More then enough of us NFs running around
My druid is NL AMA
My druid is venthyr AMA
Wuuut
Big bur ball of death
My bear is also venthyr
I'd go Venthyr, but my DK is venthyr
and I wanted to be impartial
VDH is Kyrian, druid NL, DK Venth, Warrior NF
My Dk currently has a identity crisis between Venthyr and Necrolord. Currently working it out
One reason why i was thinking about NL cuz my DH is already kyrian haha
Naw, dont diss on the Abom
But NF dk, tho
Motherfucker in the BDK just timed a 15 ToP with no Cov
the RP gain from mists > boneshield charges
especially with the revamped CRW
yeah, coveanants not going to make or break
honestly, not even the reason why I would go back to Venthtr
they're more like fun extras
I just miss having a 1 min CD for damage
my Runic Power economy is fine with or without Swarming Mists
But both are at 40 and its super easy to swap between the two
Its primary use is to fill the runic power bar up, but in a lot of cases its just not required
I also think Abom has some cool playmaking ability. Was super nice this week with Sanguine and just kiting them with abom out
I meant the runic power gain from it XD
awesome ability visually and functionally with great damage
OH, no like I said, its good for things like, sub 30% on sludge where you want a reliable cycle of CDs
I think Sludge sub 30% aint that bad
as a BDK
I basically just rotate CRW with a rune tap after its done, then he screams, then I go to vamp blood to IBF and by then its either dead or its going into the wall
And if I die, got 10 more seconds to slap it in my Necro cheat π
I also love the Necrolord Cov cause the plate armor is sick and I like the aesthetic
was really hoping banner was going to be the shit with the changes π¦
What about Prot Venthyr? Should I not even try it?
The number 1 prot war was a Venthyr for quite a while. Its by no means bad; has good soulbinds and condemn great in ST. It just loses out in M+ due to condemn providing no AOE damage like Kyrian or NF
Venthyr pog
We have stronk AE to begin with tho
Door of shadows is a great kiting tool + condemn is good ST
Condemn certainly givesy ou a good tool for dmg ST while providing a defensive benefit, like combining IP with revenge
vs 1 target
Now if it cleaved, it would be a pog champ
give us fury's WW and WW buff
Followed swiftly by the biggest nerf in years lol
I responded to a post on comp wow once
^ According to Kongoking-Zuljin prot is not VDH and therefore bad
yea, some of the stuff on that sub reddit is just bonkers TBH
Kindly pointed them to come here to have a chat
I see a lot of people thinking way to hard about gear still
Blizz has been trying really hard to make it so its almost always Ilevel>stats
I think doing fury in Antorus was the last time i thought about gear
because they funked up the balance for main stat so bad
Yea; I did the same in BFA season 4, but thats cause I was running around with Vers amps
XD
"Oh ok this ilvl 915 LFR piece of garbage out parses my 985 because haste is so strong? Got it"
otherwise, I get a new piece, do a quick is 226>220? then slap it on
Ppl are literally just stuck in 8.3 mentally
"Do I need more vers"
"hey I'm clap spamming and losing threat"
I legit have a DK in my guild who refused to take some 226 legs because they were "not his best stats" and continued to wear his 207s
(β―Β°β‘Β°οΌβ―οΈ΅ β»ββ»
yeah a work in progress
Well put
He obviously didnt do the math. 226>207
and thats not even a minor loss. I can understand a 223>226 in some cases, but thats like 19 I levels
(β―Β°β‘Β°οΌβ―οΈ΅ β»ββ»
I like, repeat it any time their is a discussion about gear and "optimal stats"
"If you don't take ilvl you don't get HP, if you don't take HP, you die (and if you're dead a lot I'll start benching)"
Living = the greatest DPS boost of all
especially now that we're hitting bosses where taking damage is unavoidable
Hungering prog again tonight ><
Good news is, my sadpanda WW monk has his VDH up to 210ilvl already to replace our Paladin tank next week.
I'm getting absolutely pummeled by 2nd pull in DoS and pull before ardenweald (+18-19), anyone got a VoD i could watch to see some movement patterns?
Kick shadowcore
those pulls are super scary
or whatever theyre called
kiting after block and wall is down
if youre not in melee then shadowcore is going through
It's the caster pulls or am i cooked
which is a dps problem
kick casts, dodge lotus, run when your CDs are done.
Shadowcore will hit you for like half your hp
like, use intervene + leap to get out of town
i feel i cant interrupt shit
you dont need to
shadowcore
cuz i have to keep running after my initial cds are down
is the big one
You can't interrupt it all
dps can get all
DPS needs to not be crap
:<
survival on tough pulls is 90% DPS not being flipperhanded monkies
i usually reflect+kick then kite and let dps handle the rest
in +15s the trash is usually dead
Like, popping all of your defensives then save SR For when you leap out
but in these higher ones they live too long for me to handle i think
because they'll bolt you as your run
you can legit just LoS Back down the stairs and get ut of casting range
what cov are you?
So, I got a question for my understanding...
Due to this Discord I learned that prot isn't really a scaling spec. Still it is quite often bad in the beginning of an expansion and starts to rise over the course of patches.
Is that because the spec is poorly designed and needs a lot of systems and adjustments, while still running in the danger of either being very undertuned or quite broken?
nightfae
Wat?
save AA for when you're going to book it, it'll stop 2 casts from htting you before you can LOS
or just avatar + pop it to try and finish them off.
does AA knock down unstunable mobs too?
aye
would be sick if it did
so i usually do this: charge, revenge, block, demo, AA, ravager
as an opener on those packs
you could start kiting there and be fone.
k
Prot wasn't weak at the start of this Xpac, like, at all.
BFA we were only weak in situations where rocks were involved
BUt for SL, our base kit is extremely strong
I legit don't get your mentality when prot was literally used in the WF kill of Mythic Sire
Them rocks in Tol Dagor hurt
Also the shooters were unblockable until blizz fixed it
Yeah "ranged physical attacks"
Agree π
I think it would be amazing if Raider.io blacked out the top 200 "tanks" for the first month of an expansion and see how things played out.
why block me out @uneven mason T_T
its past the first month

Is Draven the best soulbind for prot warrior In m+ guys?
@patent osprey knows the way
but basically this "prot is weak" mentality comes from the early kiting dominated
Because obviously prot is weak Plka a warrior can't possibly be in the top 200
Any videos of warriors doing 23+ keys on youtube or something btw?
just ask @urban tusk
Wonna se hoe they tankπ€₯
Nerftank maybe ?
π I may have a yt channel...

Nerftank running warrior in keys because they needed a break from VDH, apperntly its narcolepsy inducing
Plka is Kyrian now? I missed this memo β€οΈ
Plka will make full circle back to Venthyr
Plka and Nerftank are the two best Prot Wars in the world so, pick who you like and go forth
@patent osprey I love your channel!! Keep coming out with the vids man they help a lot!
Come to the blue side
I wanna go back, but I can't quit my blue glittery crack
@deep steppe Yea watching nowπ¬
Speaking of Nerf on his warrior, area52 leader board was close for warrior until this man came back
There goes the #1 dream


Ikr
Lmao look at the amount of keys runned by nerftank vs plka.
Nerf plays VDH normally
I mean go look at Nerf's VDH keys
legit #1 tank
Ye
"Tank"
Just "quickly" ran some keys and took #1 warrior spot
Well yeah
@patent osprey your keys are so smooth
wish i had dps who can interupt like that
his team was the same
just his warrior swapped
more or less
keys at that level are so much about your DPS/healer utility
tanks are there to initiate the pull and have the mobs in the right spot hah
may be
IDK I haven't checked his gear.
But I'd assume so
should warrior tank be in slg trinket group or dps?
Heraldry?
I mean, being in the group with 4 other SLG trinkets would be pretty amazing
big stronk
or are you asking should you give it up for another DPS?
nah, fuck them, make em work for their parse, 

makesure you're getting the WF buff too
Sire dps one
Aha
Okej
Guys can anyone advise me a combat text for a blockable damage?
The only way they interrupt is if I call their kicks and play their char for them π
Else dps don't kick Xd
Okej so its same as me
Kicks are voice activated anyways
They use a voice recognition mod so when Plka speaks their game acts
Done and dusted, key timed, rio acquired π
what to upgrade first? wall or reprisal?
If you raid at all walls a better investment imo
but its sucha doesnt matter that it doesnt matter
haven't touched TW since I got reprisal tbh
I might use TW for Artificer prog tho
handy for Glyphs
since they big kaboom ouch
iirc SW can be brought around fast enough
sucks I was BDK on that fight, but I had to save AMS to clear traps cause we only had 1 other DK
so I ate that Gylph raw : ^)
took me 5 mins to get back to the boss π¦
bigger ouch
that fight is really good for blood though; spent a lot of time just doing seeds
ask a Spriest to grip you next time
I would.... if we had one XD
or disc priest
all we have are boomies
(I wish I had a disc priest)
I dont think we had our disc priest for that fight
but my Spriest is like #1 on our damage ><
yea, Shadow is great for the first couple of bosses in Mythic
Shadow is great period tbh
Like dummy single target damage
Only not that great on a fight like SLG
But even Sun King they're great because they destroy the only mechanic that matters
he goes holy for Sunking
moar guardians
That's not really surprising
we'll see
Their boss damage is insane
yup
I miss my feralboi
ST damage just "WTF" levels
but "child" had to happen so he's taking a break until like august
Oof
also lost one of my boomkins, he's back home..over in like...europe somewhere until June
Roster boss beating me
Oof what days do you raid?
is https://www.wowhead.com/spell=326509/heirmirs-arsenal-ravenous-pendant conduit good for prot in slg mythic? if not which soulbind would you prefer?
The crit one?
can you run Emeni instead?
M & W 8-11 CST
The ol long ass break schedule
Emeni is better
3 day boomer
but yeah its so odd having all those days off
Also itd just be better to not be Necro tbh
or even W - F
and which final conduit of emeni is best on slg fight?
What you think about socketing full versatility for SLG Mythic? I'm on adds
instead of going bolster
but... why?
I am but I do be having a rogue
Got 5 sockets. Haste is 43% unbuffed, with Into the Fray
sounds liek work
Lol
vers is 14%
I don't think swapping sockets is going to make any difference
secondary stat distribution will not make or break your survivability in mythic raids
AM + reprisal for SLG makes like, mondo sense to me
could probably run ravager also
was messing around with logs until now, but now want to get as tanky as fuck and finish this fucking tier
was using Reprisal on Sludge
I mean
but I did grave mistake
sludge is super hard to maximize reprisal on
You're not wiping on SLG because you're not tanky enough lol
what lol
i feel like sludge would be kind of easy tbh
Not really tbh
thats not even remotely true
/s
You cant intervene, but you can charge after
π
and any SB uptime is good
Let your cotank move in after stomp then charge
And the intervene cotank tell him you're doing it
he can click it off too
But I make mega mistake. I had Blood Scale binded, and I accidently pressed bind, without knowing its equiped. Was about to use Phial. It fucked up my log π¦
So back to SLG
AFAIK
You not having meme vers stacking isn't why your raid will wipe
If you're ever at a point where you're looking at your tanks stat prioty cause of a raid wipe you're about 40 miles east of where you should be.
That's still closer than I'd put it.
Its more like you're heading to Miami and find yourself taking the 405 north.
honestly
If you're ever inspecting your tank for any reason other than to look at their mog you're making a mistake
Unless you know
Nah
they're a VDH
If your tanks causing wipes: find a new tank
the role is braindead, especially this far into he tier
Is that what I'm doing wrong, too many wrinkles in the grey?
ur just too smart man
I overthink buttons
I'm an absolute Ooker tbh
I'll be at 20% and be like "oh yeah im supposed to shield block
Gold parse btw tho
but thats why i dont raid tank :^)
I started doing that
reprisal brain
SLAP REVENGE
its why I couldn't be venthyr anymore
was pumping condemn
not blocking, which is bad at 197 ilvl on lady D
I get bored when im not tanking
actual photo of me at my desk playing Prot war Raid tank
hang on ima make it better
tru just press condemn
SMH
condemn where
if ur playing warrior and need a guide to tell you to execute idk what to say tbh
also: i made it in 20s in mspaint cut me some slack :^(
Parselording on prpt just isn't as fun. Revenge ST feels poopy
I got the warrior brain
spent a solid minute trying to figure out what the fuck prpt stood for
my bad :)
nono not shaming you for the typo
large hands, tiny phone
shaming me for the small, aerodynamic brain
protection ruling perpetually tanklists
Prot on the up? 10 percent damage reduction feels pretty awesome
I mean, since all the tanks got the same thing
everybody got 10% besides vdh, so nothing much changed
Forget to equip my Bss trinket and dis not even notice I needed it doing some 15s
especially since VDH being meta had 0 to do with damage reduction
Prot also got the DPS boost too recently, though
yeah
prot is defo very very strong
we be bricks
I suspect it was the reprisal rework which led to the influx of them.
it brought me here for sure
reprisal addressed a lot of the QoL issues (read: idiot proofing) that prot faces
BDK is crazy in raid tho
so, thats a compromise
I suspect that even without the tank buffs, nerf would still be almost 3k with prot if he played it at the start of expac maybe even higher ^.^
and Paladin is crazy damage
I suspect, that nerf could probably 3k io with whatever the hell his team decided on playing
except for possibly...paladin
because paper is paper
Oh damn, my friends are trying to convince me to stop playing ret and switch to prot on horde alts
mmm....
hopefully it's viable
"Viable" is a stupid word.
and I overstate paladins squishyness
every tank is capable of doing 25s.
the question is can you do 25s
High keys so much less about the tank, more about how much damage you can produce as a group
not the class
Where is the line at key level where it really becomes more about how fast you can kill things vs how long you can stay alive?
No magic line. π
generally? 20s?
I guess I'm trying to feel out if it's above 15 or 10. LOL
if you have shit DPS you can find yourself struggling even in 15s
I can tank a +17 till I'm blue in the face
but if DPS can't kill shit fast enough
your DPS have to be on the spot
that tracks
I love how this number goes up
in those situations a paladin might be preferred because they can carry a LOT Of extra amage
I mean, it's not uncommon for me to exceed one of the DPS on the meters, especially in pugs
when I'm beating two of them there's a real issue
yup, which is sadly not uncommon
LOL. I mean, I mentioned it for a reason...
Whats a good haste value in m+ at 23% right now but starting to feel lack of vers in keys since not bothering with pvp on a alt
what level of keys?
I mean, vers stacking is meme
but if you can do it without sacrificing ilvl
17-18 right now just take it to alt keys
T_T why do u call me a meme!
Well, Plka you're like "Strange Math" in physics right
when you get to extremes the normal laws no longer apply
like fluids that ignore gravity
but yeah 18 you could probably start adhering to the Plka school of quantum Mythics
What's the typical team dps necessary for finishing 18s? I feel like I am not pulling big enough and even with no wipes, my team can't finish the dungeon in time
whats your team?
I only have a consistent mm hunter and disc priest. We pug the last two spots
depends on key and affixes. Can't really look at dps and say thats the reason
18s you're going to have to find some real pumpers
Ya I feel like my sanguine management isn't the best when pulling big
So I get hesitant for that
Sanguine is a group effort
Unless it's a caster that cant be kicked
Been watching @patent osprey vids and your pulls are so different from quazzi and others that I find online
Then you need help
Can kite a lot but need group to do kicks and knocks
βοΈ
#returngagorder
βοΈ
It's still largely a tank affix
Do people normally still run the normal mdt routes for pushing 18s or does it start to change a bit
some routs change
like you can trigger prideful and then do a mongo pull with the buff, but the MDT ones will work
not sure about how Quazzi pulls, but my pulls are adjust based off my comp and what my tanking style excels in ^.^
OH Griff, if only I could convince my DPS to focus casters
Trust me I know
Making your own routes will lead you to success more then usinf others anyways, maybr not ay first but over time youll fond what works for you
"kill the dude with the unkickable shit first"
*Kills every other mob directly under it"
Well guess we're standing here for a bit ain't we.
(β―Β°β‘Β°οΌβ―οΈ΅ β»ββ»
I specced into menace just for this
my favorites are the mages who frost nova
π‘
or are frost and keep rooting crap
I gd a mage do that in ardeanwald las night not once, or twice, but 3 times
Hmm gotcha. I'll try to design routes and test them out
βYou were running i thought you needed helpβ. No i was moving for sanguine
Oh, I had a better one - a UDK who kept gripping mobs back to him when I was running out of sanguine rather than following
so many healing ticks for no reason
i tried menaced, and its just kinda ass
What do you even say to them? They are well meaning trying to be a group player
Just oblivious
I told a guildie to "use his eyes" earlier this week 
Move targets cast bar under your feet, look at your feet
I think that was repeated at least 50 times during sire HC progression
"Look at your feet"
^
Fuck DPS just move
whats your dps in dungeons with reverb@patent osprey
I wish menace was just a knockback
me too
actually I wish crackling thunder worked like that anima power
"Thunderclap pulls up to 3 targets within 20 yard to you"
give me a reason to press that button
βοΈ
With Reverb? o.o
yeah
Don't stop now, this is kiting country
This is where Mwahi comes in with his 8.7k dps
im also kiting alot
tbh Plka is doing keys where if he stops to reverb he might die outside of SW
dont use reverb that much, but from what ive since in a dungeon, it only does like 200-400 more dps in a key
I'm a feral main now.
Idk what Warrior is.
wait...

Yes.
4.5k is like Reprisal damage.
5.0 - 5.2 in like 23/24 mists
Legit did cat on my druid for the first time since legion, contemplating main switch.
i dont run reverb on any other key than mists
dafuq calls it reverb
i call it seismic
yall nuts
βοΈ
mic beration
I always liked the idea of Feral but i suck at it.
So i play easy things like Prot warriors.
Im just a dps main that has somehow been made into a tank main by my friends
when you get bored of bleeding things
welcome to how most of us start
All started with sure ill tank for you guys since cant find one
I was fury in TBC and then my guild split and both the tanks left.
"You either die to shit tanks, or become the shit tank yourself"
For me it was totally queue time concerns
"If you're tanking because you're tired of bad pug tanks, you have become the bad pug tank"
LOL
Im tanking... because I couldn't find groups as a dps T_T
plus, don't like being told what to do. LOL
back in cata i started by doing "rent a tank" for dungeons and queues
cata is when they introduced the tank bag iirc
I just wanna play momentum havoc and listen to music
Instead i ended up vengeance with a prot alt
I miss the old tank bags
that had pets and mounts in them
I got 2 proto drakes and a rare ass slime pet that sold for 15k
I tank because dps rotations are too complicated and I can't be arsed
I miss memebeam havoc
At least with reprisal i can pretend im momentum
This man is horrifyingly honest.
Dps specs are generally spam one or two buttons and occasionally hit a cd
Game is mad simple which is partially its success
my preferred spec is ele shaman though, which in cata had a proc and a builder and that was it
and now it's got priority lists within priority lists
lol shaman DPS "Hope you like buttons, because you have 8, before talents"
Guides make things seem more complicated then they are
A lot if times its very intuitive the guides are just wordy to explain what ends up feeling natural even if just picking up class
True, especially in the blood dk discord talking about the crw legendary
Hey guys, wanna try tanking more in 15-20 keys, coming from fury. Gear is sadly 22 haste and only 10% vers and 32 mastery , schould i switch some lower itemlvl gear for more vers? not sure if im gonna survive the higher keys with that low vers
You could run full mastery and be fine in 15-20 keys.
play your highest ilvl, vers aint gonna save you
Only yhing that really trucks warrior is magic damage or bleeds, magic damage is largely stoppable
And the stuff that cant be stopped you can use cds and maybe us ip to smooth it out for the healer
play dwarf and be smug
its like a completly new game trying to learn from tanknotes all the skills and packs, where i need to kite more
is therre any beneefit for prot sim provides besides dpssims?
no
Sadly im an orc for classic nostalgia purposes, race changed from blood elf and tmogged the aq set to look like every classic warrior
so gearing is more like get as much haste and vers as possible? with the highest itlvl
Highest ilvl and then if have a choice haste vers
ty gonna try some 15s first, are there some prot warri streamer, with good commentary for reference? π
Plka
plka and sense
Nom if you enjoy frenchwords
nerf plays some warrior as well
Ahhhhh life is pain this character has literally never gotten accepted into a m+ group. Time to gear as tank instead
Good news, gearing as atank just requires you to put a shield on.
Need a lego as well
nah, prot is stronk, go nekked
do we still nlock and parry in bladestorm? ^^
you do
yeah all defensive stuff works
you just can't press any other offensive buttons
you can Demo shout during BS
Oh really? I thought getting a random bladestorm in a large pull was just insta death
Its pretty great on like 15 weekly keys, though id think seismic better there still? Idk my prot just an alt so dont have a lot if leggos to play around with
sigh
just did a +6 Mist
when i walk out with 3-4k dps and 2 dps are below me, it's disheartening
missed timer by like 1 kill
I mean 3-4k is high for a 6 key especially nowadays when often its people on their fresh 60 normal dungeon geared alts
Wel ta i started doing 14s day i hit 60 on prot since i run with an amazinf healer but just saying that dps is often high for that key range so hard to be the meteic but if failed key then ya disheartening
yeah, didn't have that bad comp group either. Fury warr, frost mage and outlaw rogue
i just think my dps shouldn't even be close or above any DPS
When i run alt keys with my group im often top fps in like 8-10s it really depends on their gear
And often we just hit 60 and jump straight to 10-15s to get them geared at like 150 ilvl so if it was a bunch of alts it wouldnβt be surprising
Warrior also pumps
Man I really have to get a group to play with, I am just stuck looking for groups for hours and hours on end. This character has yet to be accepted into a single m+ group 
Do it as a tank and when you spot a good player hit them up
Nah dps, which is why I need to swap over cause this is just hell
But I dont have the confidence to tank so it is pretty whatever
But ive been playing with same group of friends for years
So maybe not best person yo advise but thatβs generally a good way
Thing is ppl still think warriors as kinda bad and when u queue up you should be awarw that another 10-15 players might be queue with meta classes and better ilvl
So its really tough outthere
TFW Fury is close to the #1 melee for M+
Maybe he's arms
Yup at start of expansion i was top 10 havoc player in the world timing 19/20s when only a few geoups were doing that but would get declined to 15s in pugs, pugs are hell for non meta
Now i just tank
And mainly play with my friends
Outside of WSG?
I mean I can't think of any other reason why fury wouldn't be taken to keys
I mean community perception is a hella thing and fury is gaining ground but a lot of groups still arent on board
Look how long took for ww to catch on despite its insane performance
I do play fury
Ppl are just assholes
for night fae, koryn conduit, face your foes...is it just a goof when I read it, or what spells that we use decrease the dmg they inflict on us when we use them?
But yeah ilvl isnt super high and neither is raiderIO
First strike baby
I'm pretty casual honstly just wanna get my keystone master done that is my goal for now more or less
for raid tanking, face your foes, just hitting them will trigger the 3% reduction
don't use face your foes outside of raid tho, (first strike!)
Just work your io up over time
even that
You got plenty of time for ksm still
just wanting to slum it for a +5DoS to maybe get a quick scale to valor up
and getting declined
1k raider io fury
"Dude has a +15 completed in DoS, man he might scuff our +5 because he's a fury warrior"
Literally missing only SD
Oh
Nvm only got a +14 on HoA as well
play the "My key" lotto
Been doing my own key for 3 days now with no luck 
ew
Did a spires earlier today that missed time by like 2 seconds and it degraded into a +14 SD
So that was... fun
If i had one id run you through rq my group isnt playing today but pretty sure my warriors key is a 17 or 18 top and dh is not sure what level spires havnt played it in a few weeks
Can always try yo post up for a βlf X Keyβ
True. Might give it a shot, thanks.
Just put it up with note to whisper link key and watch tv or something with wow on the side
Might bench this character and roll a mage or something, pugging as an "off meta" class is just hell when you have 0 friends to play with
Alternatively i donβt remember the name but @patent osprey knows a streamer whos whole thing is helping people out with keys not sure if that would fit your situation
Aww got invited to a group and then insta kicked out
I almost felt joy there for a brief moment
Turns out it was just a missclick inv
don't feel to bad, most of these fotm dps who get into groups end up throwing the key anyway cause they still terrible players
Ya pug life is toxic all around
Obviously the pugs havnt caught up with the times
Finding friends to run with will increase your fun a million times over
Even if you end up a tad below you personal skill level itll be more fun then playjng the group finder game
regardless of any other problems with gearing over the years, the vault, and all its previous incarnations are the worst thing they ever added to this game
giving people rewards above the skill threshold required to get them is actually insane
Its multilayered
it completely removes the incentive to improve as a player
Giving people gear above their skill level but at same time not rewarding people for their skill level if they dont want to do content dont like
Its a mess in both directions
Like i haaaaate pvp but did the 2100 grind on dh because otherwise f me right?
ive found the trick to social situations is to just keep saying twitch emotes verbally
nothing lets people know you're non threatning more than saying kekw.
tru

"hey girl, it'd be pretty poggers if i could by you a drink"
pls like me
Also fuck pvp I wont touch that garbage even though it gives me gear
Ice veen doing 10 14+ keys every week on dh since m+ came out and if i hadnt pvpd i wouldnt have a 226 weapon
So def worth but ya hated it
Hell only got 220 trinkets after valor i had 207 phial for longest time
twitch culture is like fake toxic, if you grew up playing games in the late 90s and early 2000s, you had to play your best or some kid would flame you for 20 minutes with words im not even sure im allowed to say in discord anymore
kids today don't know the pressure
bi you*
Warrior has had better luck at least
literally nothings changed but who and what you're playing with tbh
its all your own perception
Gear is nice but not big enough a reason to play for me to get me to sit through content I despise just to get it
Sadly only content i like is m+ but to do m+ at higher level you pretty much are forces to raid and pvp
Speaking of m+ how is prot looking these days in there?
IDT theres anything in the raid that you need for high keys tbh
Well this expansion not really i only did heroic to get cheat trinket and called it
But prior tiers ive def raided to get gear
π
Luckily my guild is pretty accommodating and if i really want mythic gear theyll take me since i do a lot of keys for them even though i hate raiding
Yeah? Good to hear have been maining fury and looking to off spec prot possibly
Prob should get myself a mythic cheat trinket but cba to go yo raid
the only way I get invited to guild raid is as dps so this week I gotta farm up Ash for the Fury ring
π¦
Honestly thats a reason why I am kinda thinking of quitting once my sub runs out next month, m+ is more or less the only thing I enjoy pvp is hell and raiding is just a chore
Kinda want my KSM before just because my autism demands it 
if you're just trying to get a good foundation of gear, RBGs to 1600 really isnt bad
if you already tank in pve its not a huge jump to target call in rbgs
Ya just pick someone mainly healers and just call foe them to die
You can practically trip your way to 16-1800
True
snipe their TC and the team falls apart
above that you have to be a little more subtle
target calling is easy
I did 2100 in 3s on dh then did rbgs to farm honor to upgrade gear and just joined no voice yolo groups and hit 16-1800 range
if you need to not die, calldps, if you need to clear them, target healers
ggwp welcome to 2100
Its super inflated rating
In retrospect shoulda just did it all in rbgs
But was at start of expansion and disnt realize how inflated rbgs were
theres also a ton more groups sub 1800, so if you're starting out its super quick to just farm your full conq bar in low cr yolos
then once your full conq gear push for 1600 or whatever
if you only want it for pve
Side option, buy a carry to 2400 with all the gold you earn from Mythic plus carries
The way I look at the game currently is that m+ is the content I enjoy doing but pushing higher keys requires me to raid and pvp which I dont enjoy and also I just dont have the skill to m+ above +15 or so or even hc raid. So once I get my KSM I've basicly done everything I can do in the game for now that is within my skill level.
Alternatively if you have gold can het boosted, a couple guildies of mine boost people to elite/glad and make mad insane gold
^^^ this is de way
that'd be a a lot of mythic plus carries
HC raiding is easier than +15s
besides like, sire
only thing hard about sire in pugs is getting them to look at their feet/drop stacks
granted its a pretty big task
Ive seen a lot of mistakes causing wipes on slg too
Honestly speaking what really prevents me from enjoying the game and potentially getting into raiding/pvp is that I play alone and I dont see that changing. I do not think MMO's are for me in that regard
Yeah but SLG is just a slog, not hard, but, yeah someone not soaking could be an issue.
wooooooo
How do you guys look at last stand and shield wall usage? Do you at it as like a "Oshitbutton" that you press whenever you are close to death. I find myself doing not using the abilities that much in m+ so I feel like I maybe could press it more often.
fotm warriors on their way to ruin keys pog
Mm that's a problem i think. There's a before and after when you have guildies or friends to play with
depends on the talents
I became spoiled
i use bolster with 2 shield charges to get 30 second shield block
and if i am gonna take big dam i will use wall beforehand
or just use it if it's a big apck
Havent pugged a key since early 8.2
since i run the wall i ought to use it
use SW on any big pull or pull where most of the damage is magic, LS can be used as a reactionary 30% Heal
Why bolster when you can, Reprisal
wall is good.
Like ikarikaze said you can use LS as an ohshit button, but shield wall is way more useful when pressing before the big dmg intake
I was running AM with TW before reprisal was a thing though, ama
ty for the info, very useful
tho it's best to always use em not as an oh shit but as an i'm going to take dam,
If you run bolster you can use LS just as part of the rotation to keep SB up
Yeah but i run pelagos and i really like stalwart guardian and the IP one
The one that adds a percentage of your dmg to ip
thus, negating the use of the IP one
IDK I never saw it very good since its such a small %
6% of your damage to your current IP
Ye
that would be like...if used perfectly on a IP that is always up, less than 200HPS
Revenging crap all over the place
the victory rush one will give you more healing
I'm taking that into consideration
also mouseover execute
Brutal vit is just π±
About the mouse over attacks
does anyone have a Intervene/Charge mouseover/target macro?
I.e. would use either Mouseover > target ; Friendly > foe
Does it change your target? Or just throw the binded ability to another trash while keeping your previous target?
mine changes target so I don't have to keep holding down my mod key
incase it needs a 2nd execute
Is it a normal one like mouseover target and cast? So i dont ask you to paste it here
good because I Can't remember exactly how its setup since I'm at work π
Where is it from?
Mouse over does not by itself change your target
SLG Mythic is mega fun as prot warr, with reprisal. Most fun fight until now, by far
IDK if I've ever seen SLG Mythic and "Fun" in the same line until now.
icy veins
Ugh, great, we're on a tier list
Can you send me the exact link ? π
Nerfs incoming
Basically
As soon as someone starts singing our praises, we get revenge damage reduced by 30%
See? If we kept quiet like when SL was about to release this wouldnt have happened
I was quiet
But ya ll had to say "nah we're fine"
I mean, to be fair I was going to be a HDH when SL was in beta
but then I decided if I was going to do asstastic damage I might as well play something I enjoy.
Got tired of pressing buttons huh?
They dont even blade dance now right?
not below like 4 targets
could be different now, I haven't run into any
since uh, SL launched.
All hdh ive seen spam chaos strike non stop
yup
more or less
They managed to make the "class memed for being easy on the buttons quantity" even stupider
Gotta admire that class devs dedication
They took the "i wanna press as little as possible and do as much dps as posible" and ran atraight to tge end
that doesnt sound right from last time i played it
you use blade dance to proc their legendary
ah yes, the maintenance buff legendary
its there literally to force eyebeams more often since its increases the rate which chaos strike refunds fury
I mean you could call anything a maintenance lego lmao
a maintenance buff is something you basically only do, to provide an increase to something else.
Hows the wall a maintenance lego? It reacts naturally with our rotation by pressing shield slam (Something we do anyway)
Reprisal provides sb and rage off of charge and intervene (something we do anyway rotiationally)
Seismic produces its effect naturally through our rotation
so wheres the "Maintenance" in that?
wow the wall lol, the maintenance buff legendary
Wat
wat

The wall doesn't even provide a buff?
Taw
Just reduces SW cooldown and rage
This dude probably uses the word "viable" a lot.
rend...maintenance button
I think he thinks he's being sincere.
You literally don't hit it unless its gonna run out
lol
Debuff but yeah
do you think that is somehow bad design
so the chaos theory lego is maintenance, because you do it only because it provides an additional effect on Chaos Strike
Did anyone say that?
not because blade dance is a rotational button.
Shifting goalposts, he's playing basketball when I thought we were playing soccer
lol i never set goal posts I'm trying to understand what they meant when they said maintenance lego
????
You started this by proclaiming that all legos can be maintenance, which leads me to believe you don't know what the word means.
but anyway
heading out!
it's called hyperbole my dude
Nice
Well, started progressing it tonight. In p1, I tank Goliaths and adds. Charging goliath, charging back to boss, then intervene to melee DPS - 12 secs of free SB. Thats mega fun to me
Enjoy not having every decision questioned
M SLG is pretty fun tbh. The fight is still kinda meh but it's far from the shitshow it was before the most recent nerfs.
Our prog has been pretty steady. Closing in on double boss phase this week I hope
Could someone help me with this?
hey all, what dps spec do you guys off spec with Kyrian? Arms or fury? is there a significant difference?
/cast [target=mouseover,help,exists,nodead]Intervene;Intervene
/cast [target=target,harm,exists,nodead]Charge;Charge
does this help?
Ooh, so if in the second line i change target to also mouseover > it would charge mouseover target else charge my target if it's enemy correct?
I think so
Can arms play anything but venth
hey guys, what is currently the better legendary for prot warriors in mythic plus?
in m+ use reprisal. It's awesome
so thunderlord aint as great as reprisal i guess?
okay cool, thanks a lot!
and talent wise....do i go 3321233?
that is the current build i am running
reprisal lets you take anger management instead of bolster on the last tier
and best served cold instead of booming voice
is anyone know which invi potion that people are using to skip certain pack in m+
Hidden Spirit
Potion of the hidden spirit ya
although those talents you have now would be a more defensive build and you could still play it and be viable
thank you guys β₯
okay awesome, thanks @amber herald i am going to try it out the way you are suggesting as well to see which is better for me
you want to aim for playing with best server cold and anger management for getting better at the spec
Hey guys, just started raiding with prot as my alt (brew 4/10m), looking to craft The Wall on shoulders since I am going for raiding mostly. Should I get Versa/Haste secondaries?
but the other talents are fine
Bolster isnt even necessarily the more defensive option, you already have nearly full uptime on ahield block with reprisal and with am you get more walls
no disagreements here
bolsters a bit easier to play with though, and the 40 rage from BV is easier rage management
yep!
Thanks π
guys for single target tanking i should use revenge only when its free?
revenge is your main offensive rage spender
so
if you want to do damage (which you do want to btw) you press revenge regardless of proc or not
punish or devestator for single target?
devastator everywhere
so im doing mythic sire and i just switched to warrior so in this situation when im tanking and boss hits pretty hard i should not use revenge when its not free or i still want damage
you keep SB up and its mostly fine
Ignore pain is very weak
so it wont really save you
but i guess if it makes you feel safer you can throw some rage into IP
you use IP to reduce heavy incoming damage, for example in p3 sire; scorn fucks. so there id use an IP or three
is p2 damage big?
IP is also a rage spender off the GCD, so sometimes when rage income is high, you can just press it to avoid overcapping
i cant tell yet since we are not doing it right
remornia bleed hurts a bit? inevitable is ouch?
idk i havent tanked mythic sire
what were you playing before? seems weird to switch to a new tank spec when progging mythic denathrius
Do you know at what point it's better to use stones over oil?
half of the page is nerfmeta so really, you're like top 5
