#

my guildies are flocking me for once 😳

#

its not terrible in practice, obv fights like sludge its kinda poopy

#

have another reclear on wednesday where im hoping to minmax banner

plush tendon
#

how bout M+?

sweet summit
#

ive planned who to buff and when to use it on every fight lmao peepostudy

plush tendon
#

I like AA, but for aesthetics, I prefer Necro sooo

sweet summit
#

idk ive done one key this week

plush tendon
#

wow, slacking

#

I do 10+ every week xD

sweet summit
#

there is not a single piece of gear i can get in m+ vault that is an upgrade

#

so why

plush tendon
#

I just like keys XD

#

I have a key addiction

sweet summit
#

thats fair

plush tendon
#

so how did it feel in the one key i guess XD

sweet summit
#

its kinda aids as you dont really stack cooldowns in m+ except for like bosses

#

so i just buffed whoever had cooldowns when it was up

plush tendon
#

what key did you do and how was your overall?

sweet summit
#

plaguefall

#

and i dont know

#

dont think it was a lot lower than i usually had

#

but i also came from venthyr

#

so

plush tendon
#

fair

#

Im sort of planning out for next tier our M+ comp with the bois

#

so we all thinking of class and Cov combos that make sense

sweet summit
#

fire ele outlaw peepostudy

plush tendon
#

well..... we dont really have a mage XD

#

we sort of run with what we got and what people like

sweet summit
#

bully someone into rerolling

plush tendon
#

so for us, and me, we push as high as we can with what we enjoy

sweet summit
#

aye

plush tendon
#

Our current comp: Prot War, Ass Rogue, WW, Fill (we have a couple of friends who play on and off) and then Hpal/Resto druid

sweet summit
#

so u have everything except for necro huh

plush tendon
#

Pretty much

#

but the bois are getting ele shamies ready so we'll see

sweet summit
#

i personally would not swap to necro for m+

#

id stay night fae

#

as u already have a ww thats kyrian

plush tendon
#

yea, thats my gut

#

BTW, our paly is also Kyrian XD

sweet summit
#

and rogue is vethyr i guess?

plush tendon
#

yep 🙂

sweet summit
#

ye

#

figured

plush tendon
#

I do like Necro.... so im always curious to see how other people are doing with it

#

but AA is just so.... stonks

sweet summit
#

i found merileth or w/e to be super strong as a defensive soulbind tho

#

ooz shield is poggers

#

and ya know, fleshcraft

weak dune
#

necrolord table is legit insane

#

wait we aren't talking about mission tables, my bad

balmy coral
#

I have really liked Kyrian, Spear is nice dps, good for kiting/burst and even good for Fury.

late ermine
#

Question so I'm going to be switching to warrior in 9.1 currently night fae. I will be prot m+ and fury in raids. I am running into the problem where they both use the same soulbind. Anyone have any specific ideas?

sweet summit
#

yeah both AA and Spear is epic for aoe dps regardless of spec

plush tendon
#

Fury and Prot both share the same setup for M+ in Korayn as well

late ermine
#

Ok thank you

sweet summit
#

for korayn as fury id just take the L and play unnerving focus xd

subtle perch
#

hmm just switched back to alliance but can't decide on a race :(

sweet summit
#

dorf

subtle perch
#

dorf got good mogs?

sweet summit
#

theyre alright

#

doesnt beat space goat or nelf tho :v)

#

but dorf racial huge in m+

subtle perch
#

true, especially since i'm playing nf not kyrian

novel raptor
#

How is prot looking so far on the PTR ? Do you think it looks good for MM+ tanking ?

coral kayak
#

Why sometimes when i charge or intervene my camera change direction?

sweet summit
#

no chances for prot except for the new legendaries

novel raptor
#

What about the new soulbinds ?

sweet summit
#

i havent looked too much into them acutally

#

but mikanikos looks a lot more attractive now if youre kyrian

sweet summit
#

if you intervene someone behind/to your side

worthy dagger
#

👀

coral kayak
sweet summit
#

oh i meant last row

#

more dam+spear cdr

#

he still has the issue of auto phial or phial knockback tho

#

so idk if its worth

#

can you charge mobs behind you?

coral kayak
sweet summit
#

thats... weird

#

i dont think that has happened to me

#

at least not often enough for me to take notice

coral kayak
#

Happened a lot of times, so annoying feelsbadman

sweet summit
#

guess its not hard to deal with tho, just turn around fast peepostudy

#

but i can see it being annoying

novel raptor
#

Do you have auto camera readjust ?

sacred timber
#

Im tanking a +12 for the first time with my guildies to get them a 223. Any tips before I fail over and over again?

sweet summit
#

what dungeon u doing

sacred timber
#

HoA

#

I did it with 16 min to spare today on +5

sweet summit
#

casts hurt

novel raptor
#

Dont over pull if dps is low, specially with bolstering + necro, keeping it safe is often better

sweet summit
#

dogs hurt

#

make sure people interrupt

grand drum
#

Gargons hurt

sweet summit
#

might have to kite the dogs as you get high bleed stacks

sacred timber
#

Our dps should be ok, but Im definitely not doing huge pulls

sweet summit
#

can be nice to lust a big pull at the start and lust there

#

then have 60% pride for 1st boss

#

and 80% pride+lust on 2nd

#

and lust again on last

sacred timber
#

will try

sweet summit
#

~78% before invising/shrouding to 2nd boss and pulling one of those stone guys to proc pride

#

dont have a lot of prot specific tips other than basic stuff like maintain SB as long as youre taking blockable damage and shit

#

spell reflect bolts too

honest plinth
#

This is a basic route. With your grp you can practice some amazing ones. Like 94% before 2nd boss. And kill Just big add before Last. Buuuuut you need some exp with these routes ofc.

sacred timber
#

It is gonna have little room for butt pulling if you only do 60 for first boss

sweet summit
#

yeah no need for some advanced shit in a 12 😅

honest plinth
#

Also im pretty sure you will not have hero for Last boss if you lust 2nd one

sacred timber
#

Ive done a 5....

#

Max

#

Im kinda scared

sweet summit
#

its fine mate, take it slow

#

if youre on discord with the mates

#

should be chill

honest plinth
#

I mean ye you better lust 2nd boss still hes most dangerous there for sure

#

Just will kill Last without hero

sweet summit
#

yeah 2nd boss can get out of hand quickly with the adds

honest plinth
#

The main problem of prideful affix for not exp people are asspulls haha

sweet summit
#

ahaha yeah for sure

honest plinth
#

You Just ruin your ruote in few seconds and almost cant addapt like it was in s4 bfa for example

sacred timber
#

Where is the passive that says more rage = more damage mitigation?

sweet summit
#

huh?

sacred timber
#

it talks about that in the icy veins

sweet summit
#

more rage=more rage available for ignore pain

sacred timber
#

that is what I was gonna say next

#

ok

sweet summit
#

thats what it means

honest plinth
#

You mean more rage = more damage go brrrrrrrr

sweet summit
#

truuuue

grave tendon
#

if I have full haste versa pvp gear will I be unkillable in a 15 key? got like 31% versa lol

#

To tank it

sweet summit
#

you can probably still die peepostudy

gloomy cradle
#

Better do the math

warped schooner
#

How is Necro lord as a covenant choice?

distant gorge
#

good if you are in disc with a fire mage and boomy

#

bad if you are in pugs

floral pewter
#

but with Necrotic/Bolstering, plenty of packs can still do it

grave tendon
#

Don’t have that lego 😦 but I’m 227 ilvl

light sorrel
#

Just to make sure I understand, you don't ever want to push Whirlwind? Just press Revenge instead?

floral pewter
#

correct

light sorrel
#

Thanks ❤️

#

I will continue to use all of my rage on execute and pray I don't die when I never press shield block lmao

sweet summit
#

Perfect

light sorrel
#

🙂

wet osprey
#

u guys use any WA's for the free revenge proc?

light sorrel
#

I use the AfenarUI WA and it lights up when the Revenge proc procs

wet osprey
#

is there any way to up the dmg prevented on the Ignore pain?

#

or anyone know what its based off?

light sorrel
#

ignoring 50% of damage taken, up to [(0 + Attack power * 3.5) * (1 + Versatility)] total damage prevented.

#

You can also up it with the Never Surrender talent, but I believe it's considered fairly bad.

floral pewter
#

or just get better gear, since it scales with AP and vers

carmine prawn
#

I read that devastator is the best rage generator but would devastate itself be better due to 10% more procs for shield slam, if i pick punish? Considering in both aoe and ST situation

urban portal
#

well kind of, because theres an opportunity cost to pressing devestate

carmine prawn
#

Want to understand how is taking devastator (dropping devastate to cast as filler) worth over taking Punish

jagged pier
#

its not better because you dont have the gcds really to press devastate that much so u get less proc with devastate than devastator, and the rage gen should give you more damage reduction than punish

#

in both situations aoe and ST

#

and you do more damage

urban portal
#

that too

#

you spend your gcds on shield block/tclap/revenge

#

theres really no room to fill a devestate

jagged pier
#

like even if you take punish your melees will still be far higher than your devastate casts, so from napkin maths as you get more melees yes its 10% less chance but it should give more SS procs

#

as more chance too sort of thing

chilly brook
jagged pier
urban portal
#

spell refelct is what we use for magic right

jagged pier
#

well that doesnt last that long and u dont always have it up

#

🤷

#

plus if its undeflectable or unreflectable

#

stack IP on top of the DR from SR is pretty good

lofty widget
#

your effective uptime should be 75-80 %, which you can only see in logs

jagged pier
#

it can even be higher than that

#

total uptime is a very bad metric to look at

#

as it looks at time where u might be kiting etc

#

so you should only really care about how many melees you blocked with it i.e effective uptime

#

as that tracks when you really need block up

carmine prawn
#

Thanks for the info, now i get the rationale behind taking devastator

jade tartan
#

You guys using AM or HR for M+?

jagged pier
#

AM

#

theres up and down to both talents you loose a lot taking HR and the block gain you dont really need till you start getting into really high keys

#

but play what you like

#

you do loose snap aggro as you should run ITF with HR so u loose rav which is sad

#

u can compromise and run rav and HR

#

but that makes a weird prio

#

as with HR u want to prio SS over everything

#

but with rav you want to prio revenge

jade tartan
#

Yea, think I'll run AM

#

Isn't this combo the best for snap aggro on opener: Charge (with reprisal) > Revenge! proc, boosted by First Strike and Wild Hunt Tactics > Thunderclap boosted by Show of Force?

jagged pier
#

im not NF 🤷 but can throw rav before charging and not need to care at all

jade tartan
#

Also, does Best Served Cold gets procced on the Revenge proc from Reprisal? As in, does that proc from Reprisal benefit from those 50% or still 20% ?

jagged pier
#

and SoF does very little

jade tartan
#

Nice!

jagged pier
#

as reprisal gives you the proc

jade tartan
#

Aye, it makes sense

jade tartan
strong forum
#

I run double potency

#

Cuz it's more dmg than 0

#

And the 3rd endurance is also shit

#

So it's a lose-lose situation

jagged pier
brittle owl
#

that's like saying half an inch on your peen is negligible

jagged pier
#

well SoF is more like 2cms

#

its a little bit

#

but lets be honest not much of a difference

#

but 2cms is 2cms

#

ill take it

jade tartan
#

Fair enough haha 😄

brittle owl
#

atta boy yep

fringe marten
#

What's the comment/punctuation that makes a macro line not post to say?

jagged pier
#

if it posting in chat u might have made it wrong

#

thats usually the case

sterile stump
fringe marten
#

no..I WANT it to not post to say.

#

I want to macro in a few things to demo shout, like Sapphire of Brilliance..then comment them out or in; as I'm going to use them.

#

starting to bloat up with a few different demo shout macros and charge/intercept macros that I have to swap out between SLG's or just random content..sick of it.

sterile stump
#

Yes so check if you have / cast as opposed to /cast that was what caused it to go to say for me,

fringe marten
#

right..but if you just add a space will it then not simply post / cast Fireblood to say?

#

or if I put a . in front of / it'll post ./cast Fireblood to say

sick sentinel
#

why was kiting kinda dead in bfa but very mcuh alive again in shadowlands

fringe marten
#

can't you add a semicolon or something so it comments the text OUT and doesn't paste it to chat?

sick sentinel
#

kiting as a tank in m+

sterile stump
#

Yes if you have / cast it will say cast.....

fringe marten
#

Because we had infiniblock and bonkers damage and could stand and bang with anything.

#

..and corruptions that made us to a billion dps.

#

now we tickle mobs and mobs hit like trucks in the teens in M+ so..sad times.

jagged pier
sick sentinel
#

but did they remove mob abilities that hit closest target if the tank is too far away

#

like atal dazar oneshotting melees if kiting

jagged pier
#

no there are still those mechanics

fringe marten
#

You aren't full face tanking start to finish on half the pulls you need to make that allow you to time a 16/17+ fortified Halls of Atonement..etc.

jagged pier
#

the fact is in bfa mobs hit for less and the dungeon were more phyiscal damage so tank generally can stay in and not need to move

fringe marten
#

Some packs you can tank into the ground even on a solid key..but none of them that 'matter'

jagged pier
#

where as now there is a lot more magic damage which no tank can take well

fringe marten
#

That also..there's SO many more magic dots, casts, more to kick..worry about.

sick sentinel
#

even physical seems to hurt more

jagged pier
#

well yes as i said mobs hit for less in bfa

#

we also had corruption

#

which made even bad tanks okay

fringe marten
#

Speaking of which..? What exactly is the fkn combo at the end of the gauntlet in SD...the guys with the gargoyle. They summon a sword? What does it do..? do they debuff you?

marble cipher
#

Add that before the line you don't want, or want to toggle

jagged pier
#

it melees with magic damage @fringe marten

fringe marten
#

Shini..so just put double dash in front of a line to comment it out?

jagged pier
#

but if u stun the cast

fringe marten
#

AH that's why jakey.

jagged pier
#

they dont cast it again for like a minute

marble cipher
#

I do that for my potions, since I don't wanna pop them in Torghast for instance

fringe marten
#

Thank you shini; now i can build my demo shout with some prepots and sapphire/racial etc..then just comment in/out based on content I'm dong.

marble cipher
#

--/use Potion of blabla
Will not use the potion 😉

fringe marten
#

I tried using OPie for my pots; it's just too slow..it's ok for world markers in raid or something like that. But bleh.

#

Even with the 'use on release' on OPie it's too slow

marble cipher
#

OPie is great, but not for stuff like that no

fringe marten
#

Right; and on any day when I get sapphire of brlliance..I'm just leaving it on in the macro..'cause dat shiz free.

#

and I'm not worried about it locking me out of an invis pot; since any dungeon I'd need that in I'm bringing a yellowboi.

#

The quality of the crown of opulence doesn't effect the gem quality right? (the buffs)

#

Didn't get the mythic during current content, and I'm gonna' start running dazaralor for the mythic shoulders for the 9.1 split mog.

blazing gale
#

by quality of crown you mean nm/hc/mythic?

sand condor
#

is there a way to create a macro that uses a healthstone if its avaliable instead of a healthpot on the same button

#

im running out of keybinds

strong forum
#

No, since they're both off gcd

sand condor
#

damnit

strong forum
#

You could maybe write a clickable WA

#

But not a macro

dense sundial
#

You could use a cast sequence macro?

fringe marten
#

Vic, my healthpot key is... healthpot, shift: kyrian phial, Control: Healthstone.

#

I would never want that process automated in any way. I always want the choice of what I'm using..so the shift/ctrl mods I feel are the best middle ground.

#

(and that key is ..tilting my mouse wheel left on razer naga; tilt right is heroic throw)

#

I run out of keybinds and ..finger dexterity as well.. Shift/Ctrl mods are your best friend for carving down button bloat.

sand condor
#

but that's actually mega smart

fringe marten
#

ok..then eliminate the shift 😛

sand condor
#

however heroic throw is my shift button xD

#

on that key bind

fringe marten
#

That's always the problem..usually creeps up with new expacs..

sand condor
#

yeah i;ve been looking to put heroic throw somewhere easily accessable

#

as im tanking SLG atm

fringe marten
#

you have to kind of rearrange some stuff and teach your fingers some 'slightly' new movements.

#

But once you compact all your core stuff down into buttons that won't change..then just add new stuff to shift or control mods

#

it gets a lot easier.

sand condor
#

why cant we just have like 5 buttons

#

like a dh

fringe marten
#

Yeah we're doing mSLG as well

sand condor
#

loving it so far

#

lol

fringe marten
#

I think we'll get it this week; reliably getting to final hero phase.

sand condor
#

yeah first night with thsi guild

#

we got out of second intermisison a few tiems

fringe marten
#

SLG and a couple other things are also why I was asking about macro commands earlier to comment OUT pieces of a macro.

#

I swap between 2 demo shout macros and 2 charge/intervene macros for SLG (the charge one being the big one)

sand condor
#

are you running reprisal?

fringe marten
#

because I really don't need? want? intervene on Target of target..anywhere else..ever...I just want to CHARGE to that target.

#

but on SLG, I want to intervene the ToT...but now I'll just write more lines into the macro; and comment out what I don't want with --

#

and yes I am.

sand condor
#

i was thinking of running reprisal with HR instead of AM

#

like i do in m+

fringe marten
#

eh..? you could..but atm since it's prog I've been running bolster..

#

but? I really don't need it

sharp carbon
#

guys, im 196 ilvl, whats the M+ keys i should push ?

ionic fern
#

Idk

#

What ever you are comfortable with.

sharp carbon
#

last night i broke my +10 plaguefall but i feel that wasnt my fault

fringe marten
#

was just doing it out of comfort..but there's one little overlap as we push grashaal over toward that final phase where I have grashaal, and a demolisher for one more stone fist application before cotank grabs grashaal to split off and hold the new commandos 'out'

#

and if I hold a shield block for that fist..it can get ugly

#

so having bolster there is just ez mode

#

and earlier in fight when we swap out and i'm holding ..? kaal off to the side while they're dealing with commandos and dunking..that it can get ugly 'cause I guess healers are running around/whatever? I dunno... but bolster there is just a clean patchup.

#

I just use ITTF and bolster.

jagged pier
fringe marten
#

block mitigates it's damage substantially

#

the 'attack' he performs with it.

#

like..it's not even a question. I've had block NOT up on a stonefist and it's obliterated me.. on just the second strike. Having block up it's never even remotely scary.

#

Now it could be? stonefist+an auto instant after?

jagged pier
#

i dont think it does tbh because then it would block the attack

#

and just looking at my logs of the kill

#

i got hit harder by it than the dh becuase there not much we can do against it expect SW

fringe marten
#

I've only ever died to grashaal twice..both times were not having block up when he struck me with stonefist for the second time.

#

Every time I've had block up for it..it's not a scary attack at all.

#

and the difference in damage was monumental

#

But again; it could have just been really closely timed stonefist+auto block wasn't up so it appeared to be a really strong single hit?

austere stirrup
#

are you sure you dont have any other procs on top of block?

signal plover
#

I think it's clipping of autos or something. I'm gonna double check logs from our kill again.

#

But pretty sure stone fist doesn't get blocked.

jagged pier
#

yer theres like 100 more factors that can contribute to u dying on the second fist tbh, but it makes no sense that block would reduce damage and not block thats not how it works

#

like if its not blockable blocking isnt gunna reduce any damage

fringe marten
#

Nope; the 2 deaths we had in the ..? couple hundred and a half attempts.. (against grashaal specifically) was..stonefist was being cast..I had no block up; biff~ I'm a flying corpse. But as I said..could have been Stonefist+instant auto..but in my in game death recap it was a huge stonefist hit that killed me each time.

#

So after that I was like "ok bruh...I'll NEVER not have block up for that"

signal plover
#

Theres a few boss abilities that fuck around with boss autos and make you take a huge spike around when it happens. Overwhelm on Hungering does the same thing

#

But overwhelm is blockable

austere stirrup
#

i can guarantee you that you cant block stonefist at least

jagged pier
#

like if u take an unmitigated hit before stone fist goes through

fringe marten
#

The 'ability' stonefist..no. But like a lot of spell attacks, where it's a combination of physical and another elemental type..you might block the physical portion of it, reducing the 'attacks' potency.

jagged pier
#

your probably gunna die

#

have you got logs?

signal plover
#

For the record I will say that stone fist not being blockable is the most counterintuitive dumb shit I've seen in awhile.

ionic fern
#

Just check at logs.

#

....

signal plover
#

Yeh

fringe marten
#

We do but I'd have to get maky to post and then go pick through them. I just looked at death recap and saw a nasty stonefist hit and just figured I would make 100% sure to never not block it.

jagged pier
#

death recap tells you nothing

fringe marten
#

And ultimately; if both deaths were...'block wasn't up for stonefist..stonefist was cast..and the moment it connected I exploded from like 3/4 hp to 0" I don't care if it is or isn't blockable..Block has to be up when that's occuring. Because after that..I've never died to grashaal again..in another 100+ attempts.

#

a lot of those getting through those phases into the final hero phase.

ionic fern
fringe marten
#

so; might be anectodal..even incorrect that it's blockable..but I don't care; those were the only deaths to him and I had to fix it regardless.

ionic fern
#

Maybe something like that happened to you.

fringe marten
#

Which is ...stonefist and instant auto after right?

#

that's what I was suggesting; it could be that..and if it is that..then? I gotta' have block up regardless..that was my point.

austere stirrup
#

other way around

jagged pier
#

melee into stone fist

fringe marten
#

Oh..ok ? well either way

ionic fern
#

It would be 100% easier to just answer this question from logs.

#

😒

jagged pier
#

so if u dont have sb up before the fist u will die to the fist

signal plover
#

There's nothing wrong with having block up around the stone fist hit since you're still taking melee hits, but it's incorrect to say that stone fist is blockable.

jagged pier
#

^^

#

SB isnt saving you from stone fist its saving you from the melees around it

#

it has no reduction on stone fist itself

fringe marten
#

It wouldn't be; you are sure stonefist isn't mitigated by block..and I never said I had any evidence you were wrong. If you've checked logs and verified stonefist was never mitigated by your block ability..then it wasn't. Either way..I'm never not having block up for it; they were my only deaths to him.

jagged pier
#

i did

#

i literally went and looked at my log

signal plover
#

Same

#

No blocks on stone fist despite having SB up

fringe marten
#

It strikes for physical damage ?

#

don't have wow up so can't tab over to check.

ionic fern
#

Not everything physical is blockable.

fringe marten
#

right; not my point

jagged pier
#

^^

#

block only reduces damage if it blocks

signal plover
#

Like I said before, it's pretty stupid that it is not blockable

jagged pier
#

^^

#

if it doesnt block it it doesnt reduce any damage

signal plover
#

But yeah iirc it's physical

fringe marten
#

it strikes for physical damage? so simply take the number it hits for..do whatever stacking % math it's supposed to apply..reduce it by your armor; and if you have no other cd's or shields up to absorb it...it should absolutely hit you for that number.

#

But his level is above yours

signal plover
#

Appears to be doing that

fringe marten
#

so the armor won't be exactly correct.

#

You can target him before the pull and your armor tooltip adjusts correctly right?

#

So if it's not blockable, and you have no personal or external cd's or IP/etc up..should be able to get a pretty exact calculation for what it will hit you for - versatility.

signal plover
#

I mean you're kind of over thinking this imo

fringe marten
#

And even with tiny variances in damage from versatility or a little bit of IP left taking a bit of damage..it won't be the 39%+ from block you'll have.

#

Is it overthinking as much as absolutely having to be right about it not being blockable? I don't care if it's blockable or not..not having block up for it has resulted in 2 deaths..that lead to wipes; unacceptable..period.

austere stirrup
#

yes, because you got hit by melee aswell

#

not the stonefist

#

thats what we are saying

signal plover
#

Because you probably took an unblocked melee within a second

austere stirrup
#

we are not questioning your death

fringe marten
#

I don't have to be right about why the numbers work; I just have to win...I have to not get called out in discord for being the fuckup that fails the raid...that is all that matters.

keep shield block up, it is the core of prot anyway

#

but it wont save you from stonefist

signal plover
#

I don't see any reason why I wouldn't have SB up for stone fist if I had it available

austere stirrup

fringe marten
#

Which is the exact thing I thought it would be..if it's not blockable; so I agreed if it's not..that would have to be the case..and block would have to be up anyway.

signal plover
#

But at the same time, if SB is on CD, you can still get valuable mitigation through IP and DS (this is what I did over the course of prog)

jagged pier
#

just link your log so we can see whats going on instead of giving up anecdotal evidence and arguing your point? 🤷

fringe marten
#

Never argued

#

my point was: you are right..and I don't care why you're right.

signal plover
#

Fair lol

fringe marten
#

Right..if SB is on cooldown..which it was; I died..and I went "nope..never again..time to have an on demand button to guarantee survival"

#

hence..bolster.

#

The death was from block not being up; might not have BEEN from stonefist directly..but it's why death occured..it's why "Yiiiikes" in discord.. must be fixed; IMMEDIATELY.

signal plover
#

Actually this brings up a point. My cotank and I started swapping Hungering during his overwhelm cast to prevent exactly this kind of melee+boss ability spike. We also do the same on a couple Grashaal swaps and it makes the damage intake way smoother.

jagged pier
#

becuase theres not a chance a sneaky melee

#

after the mechanic

signal plover
#

Exactly

fathom spindle
#

So from one thing to another.

Do you guys priorotize Haste or Vers on pieces that can’t have both?

I’m probably not PvP:ing in awhile, since i need to catch up as Prot, and later arms.

But take neck/shields for instance, would you farm the haste neck from Halls, or the Vers from Spires?

Same goes for shield

fringe marten
#

Makes sense too; weather it's a blockable ability or not..regardless of the boss; anything that has a castbar associated with it means you're getting hit with that thing plus a melee instantly after, possibly before too.

signal plover
#

Just Ilvl m8

jagged pier
#

just ilvl

#

then with armour of the same ilvl u take more haste

fathom spindle
#

And If the ILVL is the same?

#

Thanks 🙂

jagged pier
#

rings and neck do what u like

signal plover
#

Ring and neck are jewelry for fancy pants

fathom spindle
#

Well i got the Halls neck, was unsure wheter to upgrade or naah

fringe marten
#

And yeah same paw..that was just from realizing I could taunt grashaal the moment he started the cast on my bear; was doing it really just to save him the need to skullbash back to grashaal to prevent movement.

signal plover
#

Yeah double dip positive

fringe marten
#

Been like that forever though..boss casts a grey castbar 'tankbuster' you block it..it always feels like it hits hard even though it's not that bad? 'cause it's the ability and a melee that you don't even see an animation for like .1 sec after.

#

It's pretty stunning that stonefist isn't mitigated at all by block though; as he said earlier..it's super counterintuitive.

jagged pier
#

very counterintuitive but if u could it would then be busted like being able to tank starvos on council

fringe marten
#

What would you have to do to block the dash..spin instantly as he casts?

jagged pier
#

oh not him

#

which ever the last boss is

fringe marten
#

Nik

#

Castellan Niklaus

jagged pier
#

thats the one been like 2 months since ive been there

fringe marten
#

yeah..progression = no reclears..no loot...get fucked.

jagged pier
#

but being able to just tank it in the final phase kinda busted

#

the last piece of loot i need is a 226 phial and 226 HoA neck

#

and then the 233 stuff obvs

fringe marten
#

He's not that scary...the final phase of that encounter is "the gargoyle show..starring..THE MOTHERFUCKING GARGOYLE"

#

..been running plaguefall for a new phial..random rogue got one last night. of course he needed it.

#

we can sustain a lot of stacks from nik's stab..same way we used to be able to sustain a lot of stacks from ? last raid boss in legion...the scythe stacks.

#

When our fucking "super..amazing..relic..ancient hyper powerful shield" ability, actually mattered.

#

and it was some dogshit the rest of the expac.

jagged pier
#

NELs breath was awesome

fringe marten
#

..when?

#

at the start of the expansion when it wasn't a dps loss?

jagged pier
#

looked cool

#

and blocked alot

fringe marten
#

NO! that's the worst part

#

it did NOT look cool

#

it was like..a tiny shitty dragon head and a little crappy plume of fire.

fathom spindle
#

JERRY JERRY JERRY!

fringe marten
#

(lol)

#

and you had to channel that garbage...I would have been ok with the channel if the damage was boss; if it..at least looked really cool? /sigh

fathom spindle
#

Tbh, Monks ability was just another keg smash, and Tyr's eye was a blinding light

fringe marten
#

Come on..the first time you got it and cast it..did you really go "OH that was awesome!" or did you say "why did they use the same dragon roar head animation..why was the fire so small?"

sick sentinel
#

Considering we don't have many spell effects to begin with it was cool

fringe marten
#

It wasn't ..awful..but it wasn't "this super powerful lore macguffin..it's SO STRONK SHIELD..now you can block the GODS!" 'pffftttt...fire..channeling.."

#

However; literally everything was forgiven because...we ORBITAL DROPPED down to azeroth to do daily quests.. FUCK. YES.

sick sentinel
#

Revenge needs something imo. Something like the spell animation the gargoyles in SD do with their cleave/bleed attack would be neat

fringe marten
#

EVERY warrior who played in legion..day 1..FIRST drop from skyhold "LET'S FUCKING GO!!"

fathom spindle
#

Space Marines ATTACK

fringe marten
#

No lie, legit..the most warrior thing, warriors have ever had added to the game..and it wasn't an attack, an item..nothin'. It was coming outta' the base.

fathom spindle
#

I think the old retalliation was the most Warrior thing tbh.

When you returned each attack, felt like a brawler etc

fringe marten
#

Eh..? but I don't remember that having any special animation/etc.

fathom spindle
#

Oh, yeah you're right on that part :/

fringe marten
#

That was my issue with neltharions fury cast; If you're gonna' make me stand there and channel it better be some angry badass shit. What sucks is that it was..allllmost there. We had the cool holding the shield up pose..it was 100% crit blocks..and then "pfffft..." like..Larping a fire spray.

fathom spindle
#

Superhero landings are rough on one knees though =/(

fringe marten
#

If any part of it would have been a bit better like..no channel with instant flame blast..and it just puts up a crit block effect. Or..the flameblast 'looked' bigger (could be same aoe) and did enough damage that it was a dps gain.

#

You're supposed to really WANNA hit that relic weapon effect any time it's up..and we only did on 1 raid encounter. =\

#

Spear of bastion? It's getting tossed ON CD... 1 mob? fuck you..spear. 10? spear..don't care..get speared~ (of course I'll hold it if a pack is basically finished and we're about to pull another..)

#

But the ability is very powerful..you can't wait to pop off with it. That's how our relic shield ability should have fealt.

#

As much as I agree with and dislike borrowed power; knowing it will go away. The design blizzard put behind them was really good; the design paradigm of the destiny "super" ...every time it's up you wanna bust it off IMMEDIATELY because it's your best thing.

signal plover
#

Legit if they just made it channel while being able to move I would have been ok with it.

#

More dmg woulda been dope tho

fringe marten
#

Yeah..well that's? a compromise for the 'instant' instead of channel.

#

That's what I was hoping they'd patch it to; where the flameblast was an instant hit with a DoT component..then you could 'move' while the block was being channeled.

#

I figured that would have been a solid compromise.

#

But..alas..they didn't; so we basically barely ever used it.

#

From a design perspective the covenant abilities are; at least for prot warrior..much better than the 'ability' neltharions fury.

#

But the covenant..? sanctums..and the soulbinds? ...ehhh.. Relic weapon is superior.

#

Give me skyhold and my orbital drop back...take your pelagos back.

signal plover
#

Idk, bastion is pretty dope

#

Necro sanctum is neat as well.

fringe marten
#

You should be able to use all the soulbinds at once, once you have them all unlocked..the tree should be larger to encompass all their abilities; and yes..they'd have to be toned down a little in some cases if you could access all the trees at once. ..but then have a similar amount of counduits to use; with maybe the ability to have 1 or 2 more nodes you could link to (the passive soul bind ones) So you could have actual skill tree loadouts for various content; other than just "hey can you drop a book? wanna swap 1 tree real quick.."

#

Bastion LOOKS cool yes; I mean from us interacting with it as a layer of 'function' on top of our class..which means; the soulbind crypt.

#

And dude being able to see and talk to horde warriors was pretty cool..

#

I know you can see horde in bastion; but can you communicate with them?

fierce field
#

I can see and communicate with horde in bastion 😉

fringe marten
#

ok then..? there's so few on our god forsaken server I dunno..I never tried to speak to them. Mostly because they're not warriors..and I don't see non warriors as humans.

#

oh, well i'm horde... not sure if I can talk to ally in bastion 🙂

hey guys, i've leveled a warrior to 60 this week. I've played the class extensively through 8.3 and really enjoyed it. I hope Upper Reaches is available next week to get Reprisal. Last night I did a DoS +7 at 150 ilvl and it was a struggle, but mostly due to the lack of Shield Block uptime.

I have a question though: how do you play without Reprisal? I feel like I have so many windows without SB that I get mega owned... Im surely not playing correctly

Can i ask why its a terrible ?

because we want to block hits, not just have it up for the reason to have it up

therefore looking at blocked hits in logs is miles better for determining how well you did with shield block

# coral kayak Can i ask why its a terrible ?

for a longer explaination/slightly more detail,
details will still count uptime when your kiting or a boss is casting or if you have your back turned to mobs etc in these cases the uptime of your shield block does nothing you really want to look at blocked hits on logs as erga said

no idea! the safest bet is probably to stick with DH, don't think the changes are wild enough to shake up meta perception that much

#

it's way too early to tell

amber herald
#

zero changes from current wow

mighty valley
#

if we all just say "warrior scaling" enough the people will believe it

#

we can shape reality with our memes

lavish oracle
#

Eh, no idea what the new affix is, might be warrior friendly

#

Probably worth having a warrior at max anyways, even if you don't play it

manic schooner
#

Season 2 affix is every boss casts a Gpie that deals 500k dmg, can be spell reflected

#

Warrior S++ tier

lavish oracle
#

Honestly anything that isn't sustained magic damage would be more warrior friendly than pride, haha

#

LOL

#

if you aren't running 20+ keys and higher i cant imagine meta matter that much anyway - play what you enjoy

limpid star
#

yeah like even getting ksm isn't really that hard if you play something that's considered a bad spec you just have to work a little harder maybe (and pugging gets more difficult ofc)

#

plus if you actually enjoy a spec you'll probably play better and get more out of your time anyway

chilly brook
#

Blizz clearly didn't learn from PI

jagged pier
#

thats a pvp talent

fathom jacinth
#

Just got enough soul ash to craft reprisal. all the high rated io warrior have it on feet but wouldnt it be better to craft on legs? is it because SLG drops 233 legs? even tho 90% of the one I checked still wear 226 legs

chilly brook
#

The pvp talents are in a different portion

#

Ah nvm

jagged pier
#

its a pvp talent

#

says so in ravenholt discord

chilly brook
#

Just bad source

mighty valley
#

reprisal legs is probably the play longer-term but impossible to know for sure

hot pasture
#

just craft both at max fuck it

limpid star
#

that's the 200 IQ play

#

the tooltip says you can only equip one legendary, but if you have 2 of the same that's still just one legendary

#

is this week a climb week?

#

not really familar with the storming 1

#

affix

limpid star
#

storming is annoying but really just a matter of paying attention. if your group has a lot of melee though it's worse because people are constantly having to reposition

#

other than that it feels like a pretty ez week to me

#

if you mean that you don't know what it does, storming spawns random tornadoes around mobs

sweet summit
#

inspiring can slow you down a few places like the maze in mists

limpid star
#

they knock you up in the air

hot oxide
#

checked the website, both mythic affixes are green

sweet summit
#

but overall any fort week is a push week :)

limpid star
#

yeah inspo is annoying too but if people play it right and do good enough prio damage it's also manageable

#

I feel like it's really annoying in dos just because the timer is pretty tight as it is and anything that makes you take the pulls slower can be killer

hot oxide
#

i really have no patience for plaguefall this week...

limpid star
#

I have no patience for plaguefall any week

Inspired bears hurt 😦

last week was a fun week imo

nothing will clench your buttcheeks like that first pull in DoS with bolstering and necrotic lmao

hot oxide

#

Block till necrotic gets high

#

Then phial it off

#

Then see a mob grow to oblivion bc none focused it and now has likr 5 bolsters

Makes spear and dragon roar pre nerf yep

stark lion
#

Tanking M+ 15's, what do:

sweet summit
#

spike+al'ar

grand drum
#

Poor choices but imo the spike and pvp haste trinket

sweet summit
#

can sim yourself if you dont need the survivability from al'ar to see which trinket would give you the most damage

stark lion
#

I really like the alar buffer. If keeping alar, spike makes the most sense as 2nd trink?

sweet summit
#

yes

#

just the ilvl makes it better than the other trinkets

#

do you not have any "dps trinkets"?

stark lion
#

I have a pretty crummy decanter and a 226 skulkers wing.

#

thats about it

solemn magnet
#

I'm with Erga. Alar and spike

sweet summit
#

hmm probably stick to spike+al'ar then

solemn magnet
#

Only because of the avoidance xD

sweet summit
#

avoidance isn't super amazing

solemn magnet
#

Oh I know. It's a meme

sweet summit
#

fair

grand drum
#

Wasnt leech the meme?

sweet summit
#

leech is the OG meme

limpid star
#

shoutouts to niko in the druid discord who has 15% leech

#

somehow

hot oxide
#

o.O

sweet summit
#

isnt that just sleeper lego active

fleet river
#

as a tank with almost 12% avoidance, it isnt a meme

limpid star
#

no he's resto lol

sweet summit
#

mad

#

even has a movespeed gem

grand drum
#

In legion if you used sleeper+tichondruis trinket it would be like 50% leech

sweet summit
#

that's wild

limpid star
#

he's also necrolord as a resto druid

#

an anomaly

hot oxide
#

i thought necro and night fae were the go to?

#

ven was the anomoly

limpid star
#

ven is more of an anomaly yes but necro is not really good outside of pvp

#

like it's not awful but it's way behind nf still

solemn magnet
#

Ven bear slaps, tho

#

Crazy incarns

Some of us just don't wanna be an owl

#

Vampire werewolf bear

limpid star
#

rdruid is my main and like defensive convoke for healing is considered fairly mediocre as an option but it still tops your group most of the time lol

#

and yet you use it in moonkin form on prides mostly like it's just too good of a spell

light thicket
#

That convoke leggo from 9.1 seemed really good

solemn magnet
#

Does it?

limpid star
#

ehhh

fleet river
#

resto moonkin convoke is bomb because it allows your dps to hold their cooldowns for boss

limpid star
#

^

solemn magnet
#

I think it depends on the next season affix

mighty valley
#

simply feral heal

solemn magnet
#

If you don't need a 1min cd that leggo is trash

limpid star
#

pulsar probably new meta on moonkin with boat getting bonked

sweet summit
#

pulsar is the every x AP you spend u get incarn?

limpid star
#

yeah

#

well CA

fleet river
#

300 AP spent = 12s CA

sweet summit
#

same thing peepostudy

light thicket
#

Do boomkins take incarn?

#

Isnt it in same row as starfall?

#

Not very familiar

fleet river
#

no, sotf for m+ or starlord for raid (sometimes)

hollow owl
#

hey random question for M+ this week. what's generally the best way to handle storming? do you move away from it or just stand still and have the melee have to dodge it

plush tendon
#

Storming is aids; I generally like to move should it get too congested

#

so case by case basis, and if you run full melee cleave, best to move often so they can be safe; you dont want DPS thinking about tornadoes instead of doing damage

Stormin on millhouse makes me hate everything, especially if you most trusted crystal guy is melee
