Kyrian/NF feel the most fun tbh

sterile berry
#

Guess ill stay kyrian. Not that much of coordinated groups in the guild atm haha

#

Tnx!

plush tendon
#

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

sterile berry
#

True

#

Almost all mages, druids and rogues are NF

uneven mason
#

My druid is NL AMA

solemn magnet
#

My druid is venthyr AMA

sterile berry
#

Wuuut

uneven mason
plush tendon
#

My bear is also venthyr

uneven mason
#

I'd go Venthyr, but my DK is venthyr

#

and I wanted to be impartial

#

VDH is Kyrian, druid NL, DK Venth, Warrior NF

plush tendon
#

My Dk currently has a identity crisis between Venthyr and Necrolord. Currently working it out

sterile berry
#

One reason why i was thinking about NL cuz my DH is already kyrian haha

uneven mason
#

Venthyr so much > NL

#

for BDK

plush tendon
#

Naw, dont diss on the Abom

solemn magnet
#

But NF dk, tho

plush tendon
#

Motherfucker in the BDK just timed a 15 ToP with no Cov

uneven mason
#

the RP gain from mists > boneshield charges

#

especially with the revamped CRW

#

yeah, coveanants not going to make or break

plush tendon
#

honestly, not even the reason why I would go back to Venthtr

uneven mason
#

they're more like fun extras

plush tendon
#

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

uneven mason
#

I treat it as another defensive CD

#

lets you slap Death Strike

#

lots

plush tendon
#

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

uneven mason
#

required no, none of the covenants are required

#

for any of the tanks really

plush tendon
#

I meant the runic power gain from it XD

#

awesome ability visually and functionally with great damage

uneven mason
#

OH, no like I said, its good for things like, sub 30% on sludge where you want a reliable cycle of CDs

plush tendon
#

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 πŸ™‚

uneven mason
#

Yeah that is the one big benefit of NL

#

10 seconds of "Its just a flesh wound!"

plush tendon
#

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 😦

merry quail
#

What about Prot Venthyr? Should I not even try it?

plush tendon
patent osprey
#

Venthyr pog

uneven mason
#

We have stronk AE to begin with tho

patent osprey
#

Door of shadows is a great kiting tool + condemn is good ST

uneven mason
#

Condemn certainly givesy ou a good tool for dmg ST while providing a defensive benefit, like combining IP with revenge

#

vs 1 target

plush tendon
#

Now if it cleaved, it would be a pog champ

uneven mason
#

give us fury's WW and WW buff

signal plover
#

Followed swiftly by the biggest nerf in years lol

uneven mason
#

No way prot is bad Paw

#

don't you read reddit

signal plover
#

I responded to a post on comp wow once

plush tendon
#

^ According to Kongoking-Zuljin prot is not VDH and therefore bad

signal plover
#

Got told Ilvl prio is a lie

#

I was like, k fellas you do you

plush tendon
#

yea, some of the stuff on that sub reddit is just bonkers TBH

signal plover
#

Kindly pointed them to come here to have a chat

plush tendon
#

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

uneven mason
#

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

plush tendon
#

Yea; I did the same in BFA season 4, but thats cause I was running around with Vers amps

#

XD

uneven mason
#

"Oh ok this ilvl 915 LFR piece of garbage out parses my 985 because haste is so strong? Got it"

plush tendon
#

otherwise, I get a new piece, do a quick is 226>220? then slap it on

signal plover
#

Ppl are literally just stuck in 8.3 mentally

uneven mason
#

"Do I need more vers"

signal plover
#

"hey I'm clap spamming and losing threat"

uneven mason
#

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°οΌ‰β•―οΈ΅ ┻━┻

signal plover
#

Well your guild is

#

Well we know all about your guild

uneven mason
#

yeah a work in progress

signal plover
#

Well put

plush tendon
#

He obviously didnt do the math. 226>207

uneven mason
#

Yeah

#

I'm starting to break through tho

plush tendon
#

and thats not even a minor loss. I can understand a 223>226 in some cases, but thats like 19 I levels

jagged pier
uneven mason
#

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.

wanton harness
#

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?

elfin nova
#

Kick shadowcore

lofty widget
#

are you kiting?

#

shadowguard melees truck

plush tendon
#

those pulls are super scary

lofty widget
#

or whatever theyre called

wanton harness
#

kiting after block and wall is down

lofty widget
#

if youre not in melee then shadowcore is going through

elfin nova
#

It's the caster pulls or am i cooked

lofty widget
#

which is a dps problem

uneven mason
elfin nova
#

Shadowcore will hit you for like half your hp

uneven mason
#

like, use intervene + leap to get out of town

wanton harness
#

i feel i cant interrupt shit

lofty widget
#

you dont need to

uneven mason
#

shadowcore

wanton harness
#

cuz i have to keep running after my initial cds are down

uneven mason
#

is the big one

elfin nova
#

You can't interrupt it all

lofty widget
#

dps can get all

uneven mason
#

DPS needs to not be crap

wanton harness
#

:<

uneven mason
#

survival on tough pulls is 90% DPS not being flipperhanded monkies

lofty widget
#

i usually reflect+kick then kite and let dps handle the rest

wanton harness
#

in +15s the trash is usually dead

uneven mason
#

Like, popping all of your defensives then save SR For when you leap out

wanton harness
#

but in these higher ones they live too long for me to handle i think

uneven mason
#

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?

urban tusk
#

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?

wanton harness
#

nightfae

uneven mason
#

Wat?

wanton harness
#

i usually blow AA, ravager initally

#

stay until block is down

uneven mason
#

or just avatar + pop it to try and finish them off.

lofty widget
#

does AA knock down unstunable mobs too?

uneven mason
#

Some

#

the big dude no

lofty widget
#

aye

uneven mason
#

in that pack

#

but he should be dead before your CDs fade

lofty widget
#

would be sick if it did

uneven mason
#

are your DPS not focusing him πŸ˜›

#

it can on some

#

but not that one

wanton harness
#

so i usually do this: charge, revenge, block, demo, AA, ravager

#

as an opener on those packs

uneven mason
wanton harness
#

k

uneven mason
#

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

mental scarab
#

Them rocks in Tol Dagor hurt

tacit smelt
#

Also the shooters were unblockable until blizz fixed it

uneven mason
#

Yeah "ranged physical attacks"

patent osprey
uneven mason
#

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.

patent osprey

why block me out @uneven mason T_T

uneven mason

its past the first month

mental scarab
merry quail
#

Is Draven the best soulbind for prot warrior In m+ guys?

mental scarab
#

@patent osprey knows the waydeswind

uneven mason
#

but basically this "prot is weak" mentality comes from the early kiting dominated

uneven mason

Any videos of warriors doing 23+ keys on youtube or something btw?

just ask @urban tusk

Nerftank running warrior in keys because they needed a break from VDH, apperntly its narcolepsy inducing

"Tank"

polar hamlet

Just "quickly" ran some keys and took #1 warrior spot

strong forum
#

Well yeah

mental scarab
#

@patent osprey your keys are so smoothwadner wish i had dps who can interupt like that

uneven mason
#

his team was the same

#

just his warrior swapped

#

more or less

#

keys at that level are so much about your DPS/healer utility

polar hamlet
#

Ye

#

He got all his gear trough raid ?

uneven mason
#

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

Pvp / raid

should warrior tank be in slg trinket group or dps?

uneven mason

wat

oh depends

signal plover

Heraldry?

#

u should run it yes

#

its extra vers

uneven mason
#

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, pipes

makesure you're getting the WF buff too

mental scarab

200 ivl hast pvp trinket or the 194 hymnal?

whats the other trinket

because both of them are good

mental scarab

uneven mason

hymnal I wanna say

but thats close

mental scarab

Kicks are voice activated anyways

uneven mason
wanton harness
thick pond
#

what to upgrade first? wall or reprisal?

uneven mason
#

reprisal

#

wouldn't go past 225 though, soul ash cost doubles for that last 10 ilvls

modern brook
#

If you raid at all walls a better investment imo

#

but its sucha doesnt matter that it doesnt matter

uneven mason
#

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

plush tendon
#

yea, Glyphs hurt

#

give big boo boo 😦

uneven mason
#

iirc SW can be brought around fast enough

plush tendon
#

sucks I was BDK on that fight, but I had to save AMS to clear traps cause we only had 1 other DK

uneven mason
#

if running AM

#

that is big ouch

#

when I was running my alt BDK in there

plush tendon
#

so I ate that Gylph raw : ^)

uneven mason
#

bet that was quite the death strike

#

perfect use for vamp I guess

#

10% - full

plush tendon
#

took me 5 mins to get back to the boss 😦

uneven mason
#

bigger ouch

plush tendon
#

that fight is really good for blood though; spent a lot of time just doing seeds

uneven mason
#

ask a Spriest to grip you next time

plush tendon
#

I would.... if we had one XD

uneven mason
#

or disc priest

plush tendon
#

all we have are boomies

uneven mason
#

(I wish I had a disc priest)

plush tendon
#

I dont think we had our disc priest for that fight

uneven mason
#

but my Spriest is like #1 on our damage ><

plush tendon
#

yea, Shadow is great for the first couple of bosses in Mythic

chilly brook
#

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

uneven mason

uneven mason

we'll see

chilly brook
#

Their boss damage is insane

uneven mason
#

yup

#

I miss my feralboi

#

ST damage just "WTF" levels

#

but "child" had to happen so he's taking a break until like august

chilly brook
#

Oof

plush tendon
#

Child boss is rough, but completely avoidable damage

#

and the loot sucks

uneven mason
#

also lost one of my boomkins, he's back home..over in like...europe somewhere until June

Oof what days do you raid?

The crit one?

The ol long ass break schedule

I'd prefer something more like W - F - M

signal plover
#

3 day boomer

uneven mason
#

but yeah its so odd having all those days off

chilly brook
#

Also itd just be better to not be Necro tbh

uneven mason
#

or even W - F

left ibex

and which final conduit of emeni is best on slg fight?

chilly brook
uneven mason
#

you're not doing mythic atm?

#

on break?

young oasis
#

What you think about socketing full versatility for SLG Mythic? I'm on adds

#

instead of going bolster

uneven mason
#

o ok

young oasis
chilly brook

Its attached to my profile

uneven mason
#

sounds liek work

chilly brook
#

Lol

young oasis
#

vers is 14%

uneven mason
#

I don't think swapping sockets is going to make any difference

sweet summit
#

secondary stat distribution will not make or break your survivability in mythic raids

uneven mason
#

AM + reprisal for SLG makes like, mondo sense to me

plush tendon
#

could probably run ravager also

young oasis
#

was messing around with logs until now, but now want to get as tanky as fuck and finish this fucking tier

uneven mason
#

That fight is made for Reprisal

#

100% block uptime

young oasis
#

was using Reprisal on Sludge

chilly brook
#

I mean

young oasis
#

but I did grave mistake

uneven mason
#

sludge is super hard to maximize reprisal on

chilly brook
#

You're not wiping on SLG because you're not tanky enough lol

sweet summit

chilly brook
#

Let your cotank move in after stomp then charge

uneven mason
#

You can intervene during SW

#

saves the healers mana

chilly brook
#

And the intervene cotank tell him you're doing it

uneven mason
#

he can click it off too

chilly brook
#

And have an intervene cancel macro

#

Ezpz

uneven mason
#

/cancelaura

#

just bind that to every button

#

for yoru cotank

young oasis
#

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 😦

uneven mason
#

So back to SLG

#

AFAIK

#

You not having meme vers stacking isn't why your raid will wipe

modern brook
#

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.

uneven mason
modern brook
#

honestly

#

If you're ever inspecting your tank for any reason other than to look at their mog you're making a mistake

uneven mason
#

Unless you know

modern brook
#

Nah

uneven mason
#

they're a VDH

modern brook
#

If your tanks causing wipes: find a new tank

uneven mason
#

and not on the healing meters

#

oh yeah that.

modern brook
#

the role is braindead, especially this far into he tier

uneven mason
#

Is that what I'm doing wrong, too many wrinkles in the grey?

modern brook
#

ur just too smart man

I'm an absolute Ooker tbh

I'll be at 20% and be like "oh yeah im supposed to shield block

Prot on the up? 10 percent damage reduction feels pretty awesome

uneven mason
#

I mean, since all the tanks got the same thing

strong forum
#

everybody got 10% besides vdh, so nothing much changed

remote hawk
#

Forget to equip my Bss trinket and dis not even notice I needed it doing some 15s

uneven mason
#

especially since VDH being meta had 0 to do with damage reduction

crude heath
#

Prot also got the DPS boost too recently, though

uneven mason
#

yeah

strong forum
#

prot is defo very very strong

uneven mason
#

we be bricks

short kiln
#

I suspect it was the reprisal rework which led to the influx of them.

#

it brought me here for sure

strong forum
#

but every tank is very strong besides maybe pally and bdk

#

maybe

uneven mason
#

reprisal addressed a lot of the QoL issues (read: idiot proofing) that prot faces

#

BDK is crazy in raid tho

#

so, thats a compromise

patent osprey
#

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 ^.^

uneven mason
#

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

crude heath
#

Oh damn, my friends are trying to convince me to stop playing ret and switch to prot on horde alts

uneven mason
#

mmm....

crude heath
#

hopefully it's viable

uneven mason
#

I mean if you're doing just +15s

#

any tank can do that without problems

ionic fern
#

"Viable" is a stupid word.

uneven mason
#

and I overstate paladins squishyness

strong forum
#

every tank is capable of doing 25s.

uneven mason
#

its a small gap

#

and yeah "Viable" is a trigger word

strong forum
#

the question is can you do 25s

uneven mason
#

High keys so much less about the tank, more about how much damage you can produce as a group

strong forum
#

not the class

short kiln
#

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?

ionic fern
#

No magic line. πŸ™‚

short kiln
#

generally? 20s?

strong forum
#

much earlier

#

i think

short kiln
#

I guess I'm trying to feel out if it's above 15 or 10. LOL

strong forum
#

if you have shit DPS you can find yourself struggling even in 15s

uneven mason
#

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

short kiln
#

that tracks

dusky mica
#

I love how this number goes up

uneven mason
#

in those situations a paladin might be preferred because they can carry a LOT Of extra amage

short kiln
#

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

uneven mason
#

yup, which is sadly not uncommon

short kiln
#

LOL. I mean, I mentioned it for a reason...

inland raft
#

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

uneven mason
#

what level of keys?

#

I mean, vers stacking is meme

#

but if you can do it without sacrificing ilvl

inland raft
#

17-18 right now just take it to alt keys

patent osprey
uneven mason
#

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

heady plaza
#

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

uneven mason
#

whats your team?

heady plaza
#

I only have a consistent mm hunter and disc priest. We pug the last two spots

patent osprey
#

depends on key and affixes. Can't really look at dps and say thats the reason

uneven mason
#

18s you're going to have to find some real pumpers

heady plaza
#

Ya I feel like my sanguine management isn't the best when pulling big

#

So I get hesitant for that

inland raft

Sanguine is a group effort

Eh sanguine is almost completely avoidable as a tank

Not really group

Been watching @patent osprey vids and your pulls are so different from quazzi and others that I find online

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

jagged pier

i run my own rotues

🀷

uneven mason

some routs change

chilly brook
#

If you know something is gonna die, dont tank it on a caster

uneven mason

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

uneven mason

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

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

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

ionic fern
#

You could run full mastery and be fine in 15-20 keys.

lofty widget
#

play your highest ilvl, vers aint gonna save you

inland raft
#

Only yhing that really trucks warrior is magic damage or bleeds, magic damage is largely stoppable

ionic fern
#

Bleeds are largely kitable.

#

So you're gucci.

inland raft
#

And the stuff that cant be stopped you can use cds and maybe us ip to smooth it out for the healer

amber herald

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

sharp belfry

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

you just can't press any other offensive buttons

Oh really? I thought getting a random bladestorm in a large pull was just insta death

gloomy cradle

nah

is gud

inland raft

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

hot oxide
#

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

inland raft
#

I mean 3-4k is high for a 6 key especially nowadays when often its people on their fresh 60 normal dungeon geared alts

uneven mason
#

you can time +6s on fresh 60s

#

so...

#

but 3-4k is solid

#

keep doing it!

inland raft
#

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

hot oxide
#

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

inland raft
#

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 wouldn’t be surprising

#

Warrior also pumps

tender oak
#

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 sadge

hot oxide
#

are you doing it as a tank?

#

i have no issues, and I'm not on IO either

inland raft
#

Do it as a tank and when you spot a good player hit them up

tender oak
#

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

inland raft
#

But ive been playing with same group of friends for years

#

So maybe not best person yo advise but that’s generally a good way

remote hawk
#

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

uneven mason
#

TFW Fury is close to the #1 melee for M+

Maybe he's arms

inland raft
#

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

uneven mason
signal plover
#

I mean I can't think of any other reason why fury wouldn't be taken to keys

inland raft
#

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

tender oak
#

I do play fury

remote hawk
#

Ppl are just assholes

hot oxide
#

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?

tender oak
#

But yeah ilvl isnt super high and neither is raiderIO

inland raft
#

First strike baby

tender oak
#

I'm pretty casual honstly just wanna get my keystone master done that is my goal for now more or less

uneven mason
#

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!)

inland raft
#

Just work your io up over time

uneven mason

even that

You got plenty of time for ksm still

1.2k currently

Been doing my own key for 3 days now with no luck sadge

ew

tender oak

Did a spires earlier today that missed time by like 2 seconds and it degraded into a +14 SD

#

So that was... fun

inland raft
#

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 β€œlf X Key”

tender oak
#

True. Might give it a shot, thanks.

inland raft
#

Just put it up with note to whisper link key and watch tv or something with wow on the side

tender oak
#

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

inland raft
#

Alternatively i don’t 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

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

Obviously the pugs havnt caught up with the times

inland raft
#

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

tender oak
#

Not wrong

#

But at the same time

#

WTB social skills

torn stump
#

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

inland raft
#

Its multilayered

torn stump
#

it completely removes the incentive to improve as a player

inland raft
#

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?

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

torn stump
#

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

inland raft
#

Warrior has had better luck at least

modern brook
#

its all your own perception

tender oak
#

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

inland raft
#

Sadly only content i like is m+ but to do m+ at higher level you pretty much are forces to raid and pvp

kindred shadow
#

Speaking of m+ how is prot looking these days in there?

modern brook
#

IDT theres anything in the raid that you need for high keys tbh

inland raft
#

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

inland raft
#

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

kindred shadow
#

Yeah? Good to hear have been maining fury and looking to off spec prot possibly

inland raft
#

Prob should get myself a mythic cheat trinket but cba to go yo raid

short kiln
#

the only way I get invited to guild raid is as dps so this week I gotta farm up Ash for the Fury ring

#

😦

tender oak
#

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 keksquad

torn stump
#

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

inland raft
#

Ya just pick someone mainly healers and just call foe them to die

#

You can practically trip your way to 16-1800

torn stump
#

tbh at 1400-1600

#

go for the other war or dk

inland raft
#

True

torn stump
#

snipe their TC and the team falls apart

#

above that you have to be a little more subtle

modern brook
#

target calling is easy

inland raft
#

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

modern brook
#

if you need to not die, calldps, if you need to clear them, target healers

#

ggwp welcome to 2100

inland raft
#

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

torn stump
#

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

plush tendon
#

Side option, buy a carry to 2400 with all the gold you earn from Mythic plus carries

tender oak
#

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.

inland raft
#

Alternatively if you have gold can het boosted, a couple guildies of mine boost people to elite/glad and make mad insane gold

plush tendon
#

^^^ this is de way

i made 150k today boost dungeons

that means you're not pressing revenge

The one that adds a percentage of your dmg to ip

They took the "i wanna press as little as possible and do as much dps as posible" and ran atraight to tge end

rocky patio
#

that doesnt sound right from last time i played it

#

you use blade dance to proc their legendary

uneven mason
#

ah yes, the maintenance buff legendary

#

its there literally to force eyebeams more often since its increases the rate which chaos strike refunds fury

rocky patio
#

I mean you could call anything a maintenance lego lmao

uneven mason
#

??

#

You really couldn't

rocky patio
#

what legendary do you currently use

uneven mason
#

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?

rocky patio
#

wow the wall lol, the maintenance buff legendary

uneven mason
#

wat

chilly brook
uneven mason
#

The wall doesn't even provide a buff?

Same with deep wounds aka mortal strike in condemn range

So just to see if i got it

#

Flame shock would be a maintenance buff?

uneven mason
light thicket
#

There to just make lava burst hit harder?

#

Ok

uneven mason
#

you do it just so it stays there and provides a 2ndary effect

#

being crits on LB

rocky patio
#

do you think that is somehow bad design

uneven mason
#

so the chaos theory lego is maintenance, because you do it only because it provides an additional effect on Chaos Strike

chilly brook
#

Did anyone say that?

uneven mason
#

not because blade dance is a rotational button.

chilly brook
#

Why you shifting the goal posts

uneven mason
#

Shifting goalposts, he's playing basketball when I thought we were playing soccer

rocky patio
#

lol i never set goal posts I'm trying to understand what they meant when they said maintenance lego

chilly brook
#

????

rocky patio
#

what are you questioning

#

be specific

uneven mason
#

You started this by proclaiming that all legos can be maintenance, which leads me to believe you don't know what the word means.

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

hey all, what dps spec do you guys off spec with Kyrian? Arms or fury? is there a significant difference?

hexed rune
#

does this help?

high torrent
#

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?

hexed rune
#

I think so

hey guys, what is currently the better legendary for prot warriors in mythic plus?

late rampart
#

in m+ use reprisal. It's awesome

regal fox
#

so thunderlord aint as great as reprisal i guess?

amber herald
#

nope

#

because shield block uptime is so valuable

regal fox
#

okay cool, thanks a lot!

#

and talent wise....do i go 3321233?

#

that is the current build i am running

amber herald
#

reprisal lets you take anger management instead of bolster on the last tier

#

and best served cold instead of booming voice

wanton quest
#

is anyone know which invi potion that people are using to skip certain pack in m+

mighty valley
#

Hidden Spirit

inland raft
#

Potion of the hidden spirit ya

amber herald
#

although those talents you have now would be a more defensive build and you could still play it and be viable

wanton quest
#

thank you guys β™₯

regal fox
#

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

amber herald
#

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?

amber herald
#

but the other talents are fine

inland raft
#

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

amber herald
#

no disagreements here

#

bolsters a bit easier to play with though, and the 40 rage from BV is easier rage management

#

Thanks πŸ™‚

#

guys for single target tanking i should use revenge only when its free?

sweet summit
#

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

cloud tide
#

punish or devestator for single target?

sweet summit
#

devastator everywhere

cloud tide
#

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

sweet summit
#

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

cloud tide
#

when should i use ingnore pain

#

is it really bad?

#

maybe for magic damage?

sweet summit
#

you use IP to reduce heavy incoming damage, for example in p3 sire; scorn fucks. so there id use an IP or three

cloud tide
#

is p2 damage big?

mighty valley
#

IP is also a rage spender off the GCD, so sometimes when rage income is high, you can just press it to avoid overcapping

cloud tide
#

i cant tell yet since we are not doing it right

sweet summit
#

remornia bleed hurts a bit? inevitable is ouch?
idk i havent tanked mythic sire

mighty valley
#

what were you playing before? seems weird to switch to a new tank spec when progging mythic denathrius

cinder nova
patent osprey
#

#
