#

Can anyone help me pls, i want a Weakaura that pop up when i dont have shield block up but i have a charge and have 30 rage

#

searched wago and didnt find

strong forum
#

Would be more effective to have the direct opposite of that weakaura.

Just an SB buff tracker, and whenever it's not up you yourself know "OK I have to put up SB again"

coral kayak
#

Yeah i have that, but still sometimes i forget to press it, coming from a gurdian druid and warr have a lot of buttons to press

strong forum
#

I'd just recommend practice

#

Reverse buff tracking seems finicky

#

Cuz like, you'd have to make multiple triggers

Basically a regular SB button tracker as trigger 1, then add the condition to only put alpha to 100% when >=30 rage and trigger active 2 true
Then add another trigger that tracks SB buff itself, set trigger 2 active false

#

I think that should work

#

Smth along those lines

brittle owl
#

checking for 1 charge of SB and 30 rage is also an incomplete statement

#

since if you are offtanking/kiting, casting SB there would be a missplay

#

or even if you are actively tanking, if the mob just auto'd you and it has, say, a 2.5 s swing timer, it is also a misplay

coral kayak
#

got it thanks

round vortex

#

Just a gut check; are you folks still expecting some sort of tank tuning for 9.1? I know itโ€™s still early in the patch but they seem to be targeting pvp and dps so far.

jagged pier
#

tank tuning is pretty good already tbh

#

id be suprised

#

all tanks are shit and will be shit until we can look after our own survivability again

strong forum
#

I think we will maybe see some tank tuning after "the great push" event has happened

#

maybe

ya, will be ZOOMEReyes

lime urchin
#

How do yall know the swing timer of stuff in m+?

#

Or is this something obvious I am completely missing ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

jagged pier
#

is that something ppl track?

fresh belfry
#

Know, as in, do you think people track it or are computing it in their heads?

lime urchin
#

I donโ€™t know, thatโ€™s why I am asking

#

Because someone mentioned it above

still pagoda
#

Nowadays not really

jagged pier
#

yer for yourself but roirion asked about stuff

#

i presume that mobs

#

in the dungeon

fresh belfry
#

its just gut feeling and knowing the base swing time of npcs is something like 1.8s iirc

jagged pier
#

i mean u can also just see the mobs swing

fresh belfry
#

that too

#

its easier on mobs like sludgefist

#

where its extremely obvious

jagged pier
#

but like imo its such a small thing that doesnt really matter at all in m+ as everything swings and different times

fresh belfry
#

if you dont fuck up that is

#

its your responsibility for them to swing at different times

#

if you, for example, heroic leap into a pack, they will all start swinging at the same time

jagged pier
#

i mean passivly they will anyway dpending when they get into range etc

#

and intupruts on caster mobs and stuff

#

like trying to track that just seems like trying to min-max something that doesnt need to be

fresh belfry
#

agreed you dont track it, but you should be aware of it

#

like, you dont even need to be aware of when they actually swing or something, just that syncing enemies swings is really dangerous

marble cipher
#

doesn't a "synched swing" also happen by default after for instance a shockwave? or an ancient aftershock knockdown?

strong forum
#

Yes

#

Basically, it's easy to get ontapped after all the mobs have been stunned

marble cipher
#

How would you counter that though? Aftershock or Shockwave are often used defensively (well, shockwave more often than aftershock I guess)

strong forum
#

Cuz everything will just swing at the exact same time

fresh belfry
#

or after kiting to reset necrotic for example

marble cipher
#

line them a bit after the stun I assume? so some need to walk longer then others to get back to you after the stun?

strong forum
#

Make sure to have SB up, you can also offset it a bit with sidestepping slightly away from like half the mobs

marble cipher
#

k

woeful cypress
#

is there any math on necro banner w new legendary for next patch?

feral remnant
#

New leggo???

jagged pier
#

it effects 1 more person

jagged pier
#

so if u get 3 boomkins

#

its ~900 dps increase

#

without taking into account with what u loose from going necro

#

so like ~700 dps increase

#

something like that

#

as the leggo doesnt increase the buff duration for anyone else but the warrior

#

the math that has been done u can use already

sweet summit
#

good+good=gooder

brittle owl
#

good*good=goodening

fresh belfry
#

only people who never tried playing necro would say banner is good

sweet summit
#

sir, i am currently playing necro

brittle owl
#

simp

sweet summit
#

correct

fresh belfry
#

sooo how are your friends performing?

#

assuming you do something like grey logs

woeful cypress
#

i actually didnt know the legendary only effected the warrior

#

kinda lame

strong forum
#

The math of the leggo itself has not been done, but you can get like 40/50sec uptime on yourself

sweet summit
#

me and my teammates did very well

strong forum
#

And yeah the extension doesn't work for the other targets, only for the person using it

sweet summit
#

for one boss

#

then we started inting

fresh belfry

๐Ÿ˜„

woeful cypress
#

i think im gonna switch to necro today, i dont get to reclear on my war much anymore anyhow

#

nowthat im 230 ilvl ๐Ÿ˜„

fresh belfry
#

i tried necro on two mythic farm clears and it was so awful i really hope its not gonna be worth

#

except for fleshcraft

#

fleshcraft is big

woeful cypress
#

whats so awful abt it?

#

i assume ur friends tell u when to press it and you do

#

and thats it

strong forum
#

Cuz it doesn't have a noticable effect

sweet summit
#

people dont like sacrificing personal dps to boost the overall raid dps

feral remnant
#

I really enjoy playing a prot necrolord

fresh belfry
#

well beside you yourself not dealing any damage and your soulbinds being really garbage (which also means aggro struggles in dungeons)

woeful cypress
#

meh, i have dmg numbers off

fresh belfry
#

its really hard to buff the correct people at correct times

#

the degree of coordination is way bigger than say calling a PI

strong forum
#

It's just a passive buff, that you often have to hold for others to get max use, so you don't even get to use it on CD

woeful cypress
#

how so?

fresh belfry
#

and all those numbers are based on perfect coordination

woeful cypress
#

how is it a difficult coordination

brittle owl
#

it has a range and a target cap

woeful cypress
#

ya i get that

brittle owl
#

that means it's more finnicky than yellong "pi me" in comms

fresh belfry
#
  1. you need 2 (3) people line their 2m CDs all the time
  2. you need to stand in perfect proximity to the 2 targets you wanna buff
woeful cypress
#

youll just have a boomkin macro whisper you, you have an intervene macro and you drop it and charge back

fresh belfry
#

its a pain

jagged pier
woeful cypress
#

i assume ull dk drop it between then

fresh belfry
#

its not worth if you buff only 1 target correctly

woeful cypress
#

well i dont think its worth it rn in general

#

i sim for 4k as night fae

jagged pier
#

or theres healer closer to u so u buff a healer and dps

#

thats a yikes

#

or a wrong dps with no cds

#

also a yikes

woeful cypress
#

i feel like it cannot be that easy to buff the wrong person

brittle owl
#

between him macro whispering you, you reading the thing, then reacting, going to position, and pressing the button you'll prob lose more dps than you gain instead of just minding your own business as per usual

strong forum
#

Takes coordination from the entire raid to make sure you buff the correct person

#

Not just yolo I intervene you

jagged pier
#

as plka said even in his dungeons they were buffing the wrong ppl

#

and theres only 5 of them

sweet summit
#

im just buffing our arcane mage peepodrive

woeful cypress
#

well its on the people youre buffing to be in the right spot for the buff

jagged pier
#

and also dps will try and steal the buff 100% because LOGS

fresh belfry
#

buffing arcane mage for memes is the only legitimate reason I can see

#

thats fair use

sweet summit
#

thanks

fresh belfry
#

plus

#

isnt there a way arcane mage can reduce cooldowns to 2m?

woeful cypress
#

does the banner only buff the closest people to it? like dynamically

fresh belfry
#

or is that in 9.1?

Na it snapshots

#BannerIsntFixed

value is in buffing the right thing

woeful cypress
#

it doesnt matter, its litteraly not your button anymore

#

if you spec necrolord you have to realize you have 1 less ability

jagged pier
#

like if u have a bookin for instances u have to use it every 3 mins, but u should also wait for someone else to have cds up as well for full benefit

woeful cypress
#

it just isnt for you

#

people will always have cds at 3 min intervals

jagged pier

yer i pick a class to not press my buttons

look thats the actual misconception about being a simp. if youre a simp you give your stuff away. you think you get something in return (or can decide when to use your banner) but you dont

woeful cypress
strong forum
#

Banner only very situationally good if you can use it optimally everytime without fail on 2 people otherwise it's a dps loss in every way

woeful cypress
#

right but it might not be abt just pure numbers

#

like what if theres a fight like SLG where u need crazy burst dps every 3 mins

#

where it might lose overall value, but still holds water

sweet summit
#

banner lines up very well on slg actually

strong forum
#

But slg burst is every 1 minute

woeful cypress
#

well i think the only burst requirement is commandos

#

shields

fresh belfry
#

slg doesnt need burst every minute

#

u wot

brittle owl

slg is a shit fight why yall wasting braincells on it

signal plover
#

Cuz 0.2% wipe man

brittle owl
#

imagine trying to optimize the fight

#

just kill the boss

fresh belfry
#

you need burst every 2 minutes or even longer, thats why you brought so many hunters who also kept sitting on their CDs or you stretched phases so hunters get their 2m back

Imagine having more than 1 huntard lul

it is a great spear fight yeah

I wish we could skip a bossfight that revolves around killing adds at correct times and having dmg immune bosses

Necro is gonna be massive with the leggo

damage immune bosses isnt as bad as healing immune raids tbh

show me the way

i didint see any word about on use

hakkar is better because it has an on use effect

that happens to also deal damage on top

but even if it didnt it would still be better than the dennis trinket

Iโ€™m donโ€™t really know how you would nerf the alar trinket without making the overkill number so low it never procs. Itโ€™s good because getting a free death as a tank is kind of good, not because it has great dps they can just scale back a little

I dont think you being Venthyr or any other Cov with make that phase noticeably easier or harder.

basically where any decent player you get will move on within a fortnight

i'd get rid of the mentality of feeder guild

if anything else offers you a better return on your time

You'd accept what is fair

for your experience and work responsibility

Tanks imo have it the easiest

as you can dethrone another tank real easy

#

even if the guild isnt recruiting and you pop up with better damage logs, less gear, lower EHRPS

#

you'll get in most of the time

woeful cypress
#

i feel like thats only half true. i feel like if a guild is content w their current tank its unlikely you can make an impression

wanton condor
#

idk, back when I raid tanked I don't think my guilds would ever lose a tank that didn't fuck up mechanics and showed up every day

fresh belfry
#

uhm i'd disagree on that.

woeful cypress

guilds get complacent with tanks and dont care to upgrade if their tank is "good enough"

wanton condor
#

"oh you can do 5% more shit dps, we know Bob is there every damn day"

gaunt dawn

even if it doesnt make a change in terms of you being recruited

it puts them on edge

fresh belfry
gaunt dawn
#

and shows the flaws

wanton condor
#

if the tank isn't causing the wipes I'm kind of doubtful they'd much care

gaunt dawn
#

But also, most tanks are dps re-rolls

#

if someone rocks up wanting to tank

#

that person can dps

#

its no risk

#

๐Ÿ™‚

wanton condor
#

right, the main value is if the tank doesn't want to tank no more

#

which is common!

#

because raid tanking is sleep inducing

strong forum
#

My issue is just my expectations clash with what I want out of the game

#

Once I start doing smth

fresh belfry

but I guess there is a pretty hard line between, lets say "hall of fame" guilds who would rather not recruit from the outside and everything beyond world rank 200 who probably constantly struggle to find tanks

Druid has the highest skill ceiling of them in terms of dps optimisation
