This is a pug; I don't know you...I don't know if your dps is worth a shit, what the healer will do...If you guys will use your utility, if you'll kill explosive orbs...."BRO I HAVE WINGS UP..PEWWLLLLLL!"""

ionic fern
#

Jeah, it's pretty bad.

fringe marten
#

Or the best...grab a pack, then go to pull the second or third because they call they have cd's ready..."MY ASHEN HALLOW!! REEEEEE"

ionic fern
#

πŸ˜‚

#

It's kinda sad tho.
Even if you play your class to the fullest you are not really rewarded for it compared to if you're just playing your class "ok".
You WILL die since someone will miss a interrupt/stun or w/e. 😦

fringe marten
#

Dude..you dumped a 4 min DPS cd the INSTA second one zombie got in range of you; while the rest of the group is begging for more because "I got wild spirits"

#

Speaking of which; been using omniCD to track dps coolies in 5 mans and it will not track covenant abilities even though I have them all check marked to be tracked?

#

Do other players have to have omnicd to sync it with; to track covenant abilities?

ionic fern
#

Not sure. πŸ‘€

fringe marten
#

And now every fire mage in existence has discovered the "JOY" of building their own custom announce macro for when "MY COMBUST IS RED'TA'BUST"

ionic fern
#

I love those macros.

#

They make it sound so bad ass and then they do like 3k DPS in AoE.

#

πŸ˜‚

fringe marten
#

In caps, full zone /yell all kindsa extra ~~~!!@@###$ all over it.

#

we get it..every 1 minute. That's basically every other pull in M+

#

I'm not Loading up 'MAD AOE' pulls every other pull because the mage has an itchy trigger finger.

obtuse marsh
#

i hate when i do big pull at mist start, and hunter pop wild spirit on little adds when im rushing into the big pack

fringe marten
#

Because of prideful and the way most zones are..the pulls are nearly etched in stone at this point. What do you want me to do.. Pull the tiki mask, the 2 giant skeleton berserkers AND some shadow caster mobs...because you're READY TO COMBUST bro? no

ionic fern
#

Do iiiiit.

fringe marten
#

Or; my fav...

#

"Yo I saw on the MDI..just lemme get the spear..then pull the boss and ALL the mobs around it; I'm gonna' do what DrJay did.."

#

No..no you aren't. zero chance you are.

blazing condor
#

doing that strat without a dh is kinda hard

fringe marten
#

It doesn't even matter

#

doing ANYTHING from the MDI without the same 5 people practicing it MANY times over..is basically impossible.

blazing condor
#

yeah doing group strats in pugs are a recipe for failure

#

that play isnt really that hard though to pull off

#

just not really necessary

fringe marten
#

"Does everyone here have shadowmeld..? we can just meld off the PriNO YOU WON'T...you will not..someone WILL screw it up"

#

It's not just that those are 5 great players; it's that they had access to the same zone, the same affixes at the same key strength OVER AND OVER to practice it. Of course they can plan and pull off some ninjitsu shit.

ionic fern
#

Imagine being like that in real life tho.
"Yo, i saw this guy fly a helicopter once, i got this".

blazing condor
#

unfortunately a lot of people are like that in sports etc

fringe marten
#

..If the guy from Magnum PI can do it with that Hawaiian shirt..I can.

misty charm
#

why do you have a theorycrafter tag

#

smh

blazing condor
ionic fern
#

Life was simpler when i was a good Valarjar.

blazing condor
#

Mwahi theorycrafting be like: i think revenj is good...let me check.... hmm yes... yes it is... Detective

fringe marten
#

A ton of people do not get how the MDI works. They think those guys got a random key and jumped in there and were like "ok let's snap down all the mobs from the necropolis..then use AMZ right there; pop the orb AND spear...and just go HAMSKIES and we got this"

misty charm
#

did someone say revenj?

blazing condor
#

Dadugan what key levels are you doing

fringe marten
#

anything from a 7 to an 18

misty charm
blazing condor
#

lmao the fact that the pugs really try and pull that shit off is hilarious

fringe marten
#

dude..the day after the mdi

blazing condor
#

you can literally just W through dungeons up until higher levels

fringe marten
#

EVERY. ROGUE. EVER. In necro wake was like "YO I just saw this shit..let's try it.."

misty charm
#

i mean if all are down to try the strat theres no harm to it?

#

sounds fun to try it imo

fringe marten
#

no dude..no; you're gonna die..then we're gonna' die..then the keys gonna' die..then everyone is gonna leave.

blazing condor
#

nah its definitely good to try things that ease the dungeon

ionic fern
#

I gave up watching MDI after the first time it aired.
Pretty quickly realised that it's just almost the same route/pulls by the same group comps. 😦

blazing condor
#

but its very hard to do with pugs

misty charm
#

forgot the name of it

blazing condor
#

things that rely on the entire group is kind of bad to do with pugs

#

individual plays are usually fine

ionic fern
#

Should have done MDI like how R.io did the event with off-meta classes.

fringe marten
#

Well it makes sense..you're going to have a bunch of top players who all have access to the same classes/dungeons/etc they ALL watch each other, they all talk to each other... the moment someone finds something really cool that legit pushes the dungeon faster/better they're ALL doing it.

ionic fern
#

Tho then everyone would have picked the best off-meta classes and we would have the same comps again.

#

πŸ˜‚

blazing condor
#

only one team comp allowed per torunament

fringe marten
#

Yeah goodstuffe that's why I did a lot of mob and pull snapping in BFA; because I could control that.

#

PVP is no different.

#

All those players are playing their characters at a very high level, same comps and classes..they're just grinding on each other until one of them makes a mistake or get a string of lucky crits in burst/etc.

#

The cool part about dungeoneering it the same cool part about raiding; coordinating to overcome.

#

I think a cool MDI idea would be to have 1 or 2 known players per team.

#

then have to have 3 other random players from the player base...IE..PUG mdi

#

and see if you can coach them on the fly, through the dungeon.

jagged pier
#

we need midas mode MDI

#

done @ me

fringe marten
#

But that's SUCH a wild and insane shitbag of random..

#

midas mode?

jagged pier
#

its a dota meme torunement

#

its actually worked out really weel

#

so like u have a 'pot' of money

#

and u can spend it on heros

#

so mets classes and spec cost a lot more

#

and u need to choose per dungeon

#

so u have to make your resources last

#

do u not spend till the final or spend to get there

#

on top of that

#

in games they added challenges that gave more money for your bidding etc

fringe marten
#

I used to play DOTA when it was an actual map mod for WC3..then I played LoL like the rest of the world; then stopped playing mobas all together.

misty charm
#

@jagged pier

#

what you gona do about it

jagged pier
misty charm
fringe marten
#

OH damn that might actually be cool; the team has to use a pool of currency to buy their gear and classes... But then that's no longer about watching skill of 'gameplay' and it's about balancing efficacy of classes/gear vs a cost.

#

Plus..we know what DrJay's team would end up with

#

4 naked peasants...1 fully geared fire mage.

jagged pier
#

yer exactly and u can add challenges as well

#

to give u more of a pot for the next choices

#

like not invising at all in a key

#

etc

#

it would be far more interesting

#

cause routes would change and stuff comps would change

#

the problem they had with midas mode is the pros were so good they did the challenges pretty easily and they gave to big a reward so some teams could just buy any hero they wanted

#

the second midas mode was better

fringe marten
#

That's a cool idea to actually be 'part' of..but it's not at all fun to watch. That's the equivalent to watching someone in the character creator in Dark souls... 4 hours of character creator...10 minutes until first "YOU DIED"

#

Fuck all that..just go all in #Twitchplays MDI

jagged pier
#

i mean it doesnt quite work for MDI right because fastest wins

fringe marten
#

10,000 people spamming emotes to control the team through a dungeon~

jagged pier
#

and its not like the winnning team in wins so its difficult but i feel something like that would be fun

ionic fern
#

Make MDI dungeons have all affixes together.

fringe marten
#

..#TwitchPlays_MythicSLG

brittle owl
#

just delete m+ yep

#

no m+ no problem

#

ez pz

jagged pier
#

i personally think there should be drafting in MDI only 1 team can have a spec, and u choose one after the other and team that doesnt get first pick, get to pick dungeon and affixs

fringe marten
#

No..just Delete 'Storming' and "tyrannical'

ionic fern
#

I'd rather they delete raiding tbh.

#

πŸ˜‚

brittle owl
#

i'll meet you in the middle

and say

#

just delete wow yep

blazing condor
#

drain the wow swamp

#

no more players

fringe marten
#

Unrelated; but important...for those kyrian. Is Ispiron the SHITTIEST mission table unit EVER or what? WTF were they thinking?

blazing condor
#

πŸ€” mission table

ionic fern
#

^that.

blazing condor
#

also

#

πŸ€” path of ascension

ionic fern
#

I don't think i've even touched the mission table.

#

πŸ˜‚

brittle owl
#

what is a table and where are the missions

blazing condor
#

in alternate draenor

jagged pier
#

i havent even upgraded path of ascension

#

πŸ˜†

blazing condor
#

i got it once

#

did the first intro quest

#

never touched it again

brittle owl
#

i

#

have no clue what those words are

blazing condor
#

once again another on paper cool system that just plays like shit

brittle owl
fringe marten
#

I did the first couple path of ascension things..did like 2 of the side quests, and then never touched it.

#

Dude that whole path of ascension is such a waste of time.

brittle owl
fringe marten
#

Yeah and they expect us to dump like..? 45k anima into it to fully upgrade it???

blazing condor
#

@brittle owl i meant PoA πŸ˜›

ionic fern
brittle owl
#

o

#

ok mb

fringe marten
#

Yeah but I'm ok with cosmetics or mounts or whatever; But the cosmetics need to be COOL. NOT a purple recolor of the armor set I'm already NOT going to wear because it looks like ass...because the raid set/s look WAY better.

ionic fern
#

I would honestly be happier if i could just start at max lvl/gear/have all legendaries and being able to swap covenant as often/when ever i want without a delay.

#

πŸ˜‚

jagged pier
#

☝️

#

or u have all the abilites and they work like talents

#

and they all had a different look depending on cov you are in

brittle owl
#

just play on private servers πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ

jagged pier
#

and the covenant is a looks thing only

brittle owl
#

blizzard funservers when

fringe marten
#

Getting max gear/leggos is part of the fun of the game..I'm ok with that. But the covenant crap? yeah...and the ability to change soul binds/trees/talents on the fly as needed/wherever. You can lock them in for combat/M+/PVP but if I wipe on a raid boss ..and go "hmm lemme try this ability/conduit combo..." I shouldn't have to gate to my covenant hall, and then spend "Voodoo Mobile phone game time-gating energy" to swap conduits.

blazing condor
#

Honestly there just insnt enough content for a casual player anymore

#

like if youre not raiding or doing m+/pvp

#

like what do you even do

#

torghast?? lol

#

dailies?? but for what

#

mount collection and pet battles is what i can imagine

#

but still thats almost always done in older content

fringe marten
#

In the room, when they had the pow-wow about how to do covenant abilities and conduits etc... when the MENTALLY DERANGED LUNATIC said "what if we make it take a week to swap back between covenants AND take a time gated resource to swap around the skill nodes on the trees those covenants provide?" someone didn't simply say "WHY? no..that's stupid and you're stupid"

jagged pier
blazing condor
#

It's good that you arent forced to TP back to oribos to switch covenants and traits for every boss/dungeon though

#

but thats like the only upside of the system

ionic fern
#

I don't have half the legendaries and the ones i have are like 190-225 ilvl.

#

πŸ˜‚

fringe marten
#

Why were you doing torg at 138? Who authorized you to play something besides warrior? Unless it's ANOTHER warrior and you rolled it JUST so torghast was more challenging.. yes..yes this is the way.

jagged pier
#

it was on a warrior

#

i may have more than one

#

πŸ‘€

ionic fern
#

SF are obliged to play ONLY prot warriors.

#

🀷

fringe marten
#

uh..isn't that OBVIOUS?

ionic fern
#

Jakey signed a contract and stuff.

jagged pier
#

true

blazing condor
#

wait there are other classes?

fringe marten
#

No

jagged pier
#

no

blazing condor
#

i thought you were assigned a class when you started playing

jagged pier
#

i may i have to say that due to the contract

#

but no

#

there are no other classes

blazing condor
#

isa conspriacy

fringe marten
#

When you log in; you open the Portal of BLOODANDTHUNDER..then you step through that portal into Azeroth. It is populated with other creatures you can group with..some of them 'chat' back to you; but ultimately they only serve the purpose of allowing YOU to crush content and get loot.

proud carbon
ionic fern
#

The alternative could have been to give me stuff for free. Or make a quest line or w/e.

#

πŸ˜‚

proud carbon
#

For free??? Madlad πŸ˜„

jagged pier
#

i at least u lvl the same class u dont need to farm the recipes again

#

just saying

ionic fern
#

Of course for free.

#

I don't wanna do pointless things that i don't enjoy. 😦

jagged pier
#

same

fringe marten
#

Changer..doesn't have to be. The legion legendary system at launch was..ridiculous; but again..didn't have to be that way. It's ACTUALLY possible to learn from the past; however the blizzard WoW Development team seems to be incapable of this.

ionic fern
#

I get that some people enjoy farming Torghast (i think...) and collecting Legendaries that way..but just wish there was an alternative..even if only for alts..e.g if you have gotten legendaries on your main via Torghast you can just "buy" them on your alts for free or w/e. Same for Covenants..don't make me re-play that damn quest line on all my alts.

jagged pier
#

cant wait for next patch where theyve made it more annoying to run

proud carbon
fringe marten
#

I actually have no issue at all with them wanting crafting to be important/relevant.. I do have an issue with "your best legendary thing..COULD come from a world boss...OR a dungeon...OR pvp..woo EXCITING!

ionic fern
#

I'm just going the lazy route and buying the cheapest legendary just for the effect.

#

πŸ˜‚

fringe marten
#

How about...crafters make the blank armor? cool! and you can determine the secondary stats from another crafters thing? ALSO COOL! Then you go to the rune crafter..and he says "Give me torghast currency...and armors..Now CHOOSE which legendary power you'd like this to have" Thank you.

#

Not "did you unlock my legendary memory by looting an item from random content? NO? THEN I DON'T KNOW THAT POWER!"

blazing condor
#

yep Lets create a shitty system that people dont like and then "fix it" in a later patch to keep the player count happy and feel like we listen to them - even though it shouldve been in from day 1

#

guys what are the go to trinks now for raid vs M+ ?

sweet summit
#

the two that sim the highest
or scale + one that sims the highest
or scale + al'ar
or al'ar + one that sims the highest

jagged pier
#

phial and hynmal/scale m+

#

phial and SLH because im usually in the herald group raid

zenith monolith
#

so vessel is poop now ?

jagged pier
#

not for raid

#

ST dps

zenith monolith
#

so I can run both Sire trinks for raid ?

jagged pier
#

u can

zenith monolith
#

gonna see if I ever had scale and binned it in item recovery

jagged pier
#

honestly vintage is better for progress its up more often imo

#

like 1 min vs 2 min in a raid is quite a lot

zenith monolith
#

yea

jagged pier
#

it is less of an absorb

zenith monolith
#

damn restoration seems to be down

jagged pier
#

but u usually only want a bit of absorb to help front some damage and havning it more often is kind of big

zenith monolith
#

vessell,stoneheart and spike are the only other trinks I have

jagged pier
#

well stone heart is vendor

#

spikes pretty good

#

and u dont really want to run double on use tbh

zenith monolith
#

yeah thats what I thought

jagged pier
#

if you going for logs i would run vessel and spike

#

if not

#

run spike and vintage

zenith monolith
#

i run spike in vintage

#

sod logs, couldnt care less

#

where is scale from ?

jagged pier
#

DoS

zenith monolith
#

ty

btw vault you can get every item from m+ and not only from those dungeons you run in the last week or that are "responsible" for your vault loot?

51st run would've been the winner

jagged pier
winged lotus
#

need...trinket...before... 9.1

elfin nova
#

No you don't

#

You need to get it again in 9.1

winged lotus
#

wait will 9.0.5 gear be upgradable in 9.1?

#

i assume the dungeon ilvl gear drops will go up

elfin nova
#

No

#

Well probably not anyway

#

Hm

winged lotus
#

to the first question?

elfin nova
#

Actually I don't know if it's confirmed or not but i would assume it isn't upgradeable in 9.1

jagged pier
#

youll need to farm it again im pretty sure as they wont be upgradeable

winged lotus
#

shiiiit

jagged pier
#

and youll need a new version

#

and KSM

#

to upgrade again

winged lotus
#

and there is a chance new trinkets will be better ofc

jagged pier
#

well the new raid ones mmight be

#

🀷

winged lotus
elfin nova
#

Specifically for m+ it seems hard to conceive of a trinket that beats scale

jagged pier
#

for pushing for sure

#

scale will be busted

elfin nova
#

But yeah it will drop in 15s at higher than 220

jagged pier
#

and as ilvl increase so does that shield and the damage it does

elfin nova
#

So it would be a waste to upgrade it all the way even if possible (which i very much doubt you even will be able to)

winged lotus
#

ye i wonder if there will be a new keystone master achiev

#

so you can upgrade higher etc

jagged pier
#

eaiest way to get scale from DoS is to get a group of 5 ppl that can loot it and trade it

brittle owl
#

nah

winged lotus
#

yeee im trying to get my guild to help

brittle owl
#

easiest is to just loot it lmao git gud scrub kthnx

winged lotus
#

just get it

#

just do it

brittle owl
winged lotus
#

Everytime bwonsamdi tells me 'take ya trinkets and go' i tell him he s a liar

jagged pier
#

but tbh scale isnt what its all cracked up to be

#

i only used it in 19s

#

literally use hymnal instead in 19s and under

winged lotus
#

isnt that intellect

jagged pier
#

no

winged lotus
#

Hymnal of the path?

jagged pier
#

yes

brittle owl
#

the paladin trinket yep

winged lotus
#

collapses

jagged pier
#

the warrior trinket

brittle owl
#

paladin BestStat

winged lotus
#

is that good ye?

#

i neva seen it

jagged pier
#

does like 2% more of my overall dps than my 226 decanter

brittle owl
#

has libram of truth icon

#

hence

#

paladin

winged lotus
jagged pier
brittle owl
#

it's p baller

winged lotus

jagged pier
#

its a jucier

brittle owl

and has defensive upside

#

but mostly it just slaps

jagged pier
#

thats a 226 phial as well

winged lotus
#

fuckn hell

jagged pier
#

well if mobs are dead they cant hurt me

winged lotus
#

what ilvl is the hymnal

jagged pier
#

194

#

i still do callings to pray for that 203 one

brittle owl
#

tbh woyer prob gets the best value out of the damage component

winged lotus
#

woyerrrr

jagged pier
#

i think it does

#

as only procs above 50% hp

winged lotus
#

is it also viable for fury and arms

jagged pier
#

i dont think its very good for them

brittle owl
#

idk check sims

#

dps generally don't have their healthbar move as freq as a tank

winged lotus
#

hmhhh

brittle owl
#

but the fact that below 50% hp it doesnt do damage

#

makes it lose alot of value whenever they do take dam

winged lotus
#

yee

#

it adds some survivability but tbh that shouldnt be needed when healer exismtts

brittle owl
#

it adds inconsequential surv at best

winged lotus
#

yeeeeee boi

Guys, I'm re-specing to prot from fury and I wanna play as a tank for the new seasons. What are you guy's thoughts on it?
Should I level another class if I wanna play tank and keep the fury warrior?

Boosting as in u boosting people for gold?

sick sentinel

Yes

winged lotus

Idk I think boosting works on all tanks lol maybe dh goes a bit faster but it shouldn’t matter

I'm pretty noob when it comes to tanking and prot war

#

However I'm pretty sure the mighty warrior is always an answer to everything πŸ˜„

winged lotus
#

Ye

jagged pier
#

i boost on it this season, but in terms of tanks its one of the more difficult pretty much most difficult tank to play

#

if u arent comfortable

#

you wont do well in boosting

winged lotus
sick sentinel
#

Huh

jagged pier
#

well u said your a noob when it comes to prot

sick sentinel
#

A true warrior doesn't care about what's comfortable what's not man

jagged pier
#

if u are i wouldnt recommend boosting on it

#

as in boost runs u dont play defensivly and healers tend to not heal u much if at all

#

2 things that u kind of want to happen as prot

winged lotus
#

Deeps is where it’s at

jagged pier
#

exactly

#

if u dont know how to deal as prot with no healing/ playing agressivly with that

jagged pier
#

you are going to have a bad time

winged lotus
#

So demon Hunter is basically best weird

#

I think

#

Or pally maybe even

jagged pier
#

u can start now and learn prot but its a steep learning curve compared to the other tanks, expect dk maybe imo

plush tendon
winged lotus
#

Yeee for sure

jagged pier
#

but then again dk is kinda ez keep boneshield up or your dead

#

but its the haste thats the issue

plush tendon
jagged pier
#

thats what it was last time i played it

#

and never played it since

#

because it dogshit

plush tendon
#

Boneshield is a maintenance buff; its all about RP economy and not wasting resource or potential resource

wanton grotto
#

Dk in general is like pure resource management

#

And each spec has like 3-4 β€œresources” to manage

plush tendon
#

The way a DK dies is if they get 1 shot or the player misplays their rotation

sick sentinel
# jagged pier if u dont know how to deal as prot with no healing/ playing agressivly with that

Thank you for giving me the advice fam

you know what my noob brain thinks is that, I have Revenge to spend rage as aggressive ability and as in defensive I have sheildblock and ignore pain. So i'd keep the defensive buffs up while the adds are attacking and then use my revenge thunderclap to deal aoe damage and press shield slam whenever is up. and while my defensives are in cooldown I still have shockwave and on top of that I can fear for extra safety.
that's the rotation I can think of but tell me if there's anything I can do to better or differently
and I also have a question and it's that, would you always pay attention to your last hits for healing up using victory rush? or the healing at that point isn't the issue and you should just stay tanki?

winged lotus
#

Hmmmm wtf

fleet river
#

would you always pay attention to your last hits for healing up using victory rush?

#

its not a priority at all

winged lotus
#

It’s an extra basically

jagged pier
#

u can type it out fine, but a lot of ppl do that and then i see a log and they actually cant play correctly at all, and no u dont care about victory rush

winged lotus
#

It’s best to just look at the rotation

#

On guided

fleet river
#

and you clearly know what your abilities do, the trick now is to understand the fights enough to know when you can spend rage offensively and when you will die if you do not have defensives up -> the next step is knowing how much defensive you need at any given point

jagged pier
#

☝️

#

its far better if u go out there log/ record yourself

#

and come back

#

im very happy to watch gameplay and look at logs to help ppl improve if i have the time

sick sentinel
fleet river
#

that's nearly every tank though

winged lotus
#

You learn when you do

#

Do dungeons and you start to notice shit

fleet river
#

nobody has a singular tool for all jobs, and nearly every boss has active mitigation checks

#

when you start out just focus on not dying, because that kills a key much faster than the tank doing 1k dps instead of 1.6k dps

jagged pier
#

yer but this is the point he wants to boost

#

so he needs to learn not to die

#

and do loads of dps

#

which drops your mitigation down by a lot

#

in my boost runs i run seismic

#

so u loose a lot of defensive value

fleet river
#

reprisal makes it a lot easier to have your 15 seconds of "good enough" mitigation to get threat without blowing too much rage on it

sick sentinel
#

I've seen two or three prot wars in 20+ keys, not so many which scares me to go for it

jagged pier
#

they are fine

inland raft
#

Prot is fine its just a generally low represented tank

#

Its vanilla so people like to play the others

winged lotus
#

Any tank can do 20+ key probably

jagged pier
#

TDLR u need to play correctly and better

#

than if u are playing druid or dh or monk

winged lotus

Druid be like

warriors don't have the utility kit of DH (aoe ranged silence, i'm jealous) and they dont have windows of invulnerability (druid). you can do the same job, but it just requires more from the rest of the group

yeah, i think its okay on key levels where you dont need to invest too much into pride, but once prides start requiring multiple strong cooldowns from everyone it becomes extremely toxic especially since hte best solution is often to just not do the pride and skip it

Ya agree with that.

Haste doesn't sim great for damage tho

if focus is damage u can even forgo verse

haste is for SB uptime and rage

also Sims don't take into account reprisal at all

you're also not really going to notice a huge difference optimizing stats

because str is the largest impact

@patent osprey if you were to play heavy repercussions, would you feel comfortable dropping a lot of haste in that case?

that's why I always say personally ^.^ but PERSONALLY, whenever I go below 20% I feel alot of downtime where I have nothing to press. There is no magic number but I do favor verse alot in high keys

no HR does better with high haste

modern brook

Yeah dont get me wrong

its not your advice thats flawed

I think my haste is like 30 something pre-itf I honestly dont remember

its just as soon as you put a number on anything

remember favoring verse > haste is really only useful if you're pushing very high keys

As a prot warrior it feels like stats are really pretty meaningless compared to ilvl unless you’re part of that 99.9 percentile.

I was initially tanking full 226 at 32% verse/10% haste cuz it was all pvp gear, have slowly got up to +20% haste as I swapped 226 gear from the vault, doesn’t seem to matter at all for someone that just runs nothing higher than a 19/20.

Hi guys, newbie tank again in search for enlightenment. What trinkets do we aim for in the beginning of m+ march? Im still 180. Should i focus more of a defensive or a dps trinket?

#

We played in bfa

patent osprey
#

even if you lose threat, cheat trinkets are worth

#

it can make or break your key run

#

that 5 extra seconds it takes to brez

#

your drood might just get hit in the face

iron forum
#

yeah i 100% agree, but stuff like that does definitely change just how good it is though

honest plinth
#

True

#

or your fury warrior in my case

#

well we established in an earlier conversation that if you die it's the DPS's fault for missing a kick

patent osprey
#

play arms πŸ™‚ die by sword easy

limpid star
#

so that time when you lose threat is their punishment

iron forum
#

i miss playing arms in keys, being able to dbts intervene tank felt so cozy

fresh belfry
#

well i thought when you die its your fault because youre playing a class that can actually die

iron forum
#

im not an arms god like critcake though

limpid star
#

don't wanna catch threat during my cheat death? get your kicks straight, fools

iron forum
#

idk how he makes it work

patent osprey
#

Yeah I wish dps would just kick the dot the last boss of halls does

#

gosh! Noobs!

limpid star
#

exactly

fresh belfry
#

outrageous you cant reflect it btw

honest plinth
#

It will be huge

#

Like broken

iron forum
#

i miss being able to reflect that dot in beta

#

#makespellreflectgreatagain

#

also that dot hurts so much its unreal, i did a 22 halls last week on tyran and i think thats the msot ive ever been slapped around as a tank by a boss

spell reflect do be op either way doe

iron forum
#

spell reflect is still really cool yeah

#

its one of my favorite abilities in the game

#

some interactions with it are weird though. like how you can kill all the melee in yoru group by reflecting the anger dot from the manifestations of fury in SD, but reflect a curse of obliteration in HoA and everything is cool

jagged pier
#

stats really dont matter

#

as long as u have your highest ilvl armour pieces equiped your good

fleet river
#

asterisk trinkets

verbal rapids
#

lets say i am trying to min/max

jagged pier
#

u only do that once u have 2 armour pieces the same ilvl can u choose the one with more haste

jagged pier
fleet river
#

sorry there is a silly extra letter in there

#

next youre going to try and convince me colour is a word

verbal rapids
#

I am 225 equiped so secondaries are a bigger part now

jagged pier
honest plinth
#

Hast vers if same ilvl

verbal rapids
#

Sure.... But my question was to see percentages people running.... Not priority

jagged pier
#

there are none

#

theres no x % of a stat

#

where u go for another one

warped schooner
#

I just got a 213 IQD from my vault, is IQD a good trinket to run?

jagged pier
#

not really

flint tiger
#

so i have a 220 ilvl pvp cloak (haste/vers), and my cache is super meh for me this week. I'm pushing high M+ key content and not raiding, what would you guys go with?

220 helm 41 haste/96 mastery vs. equipped PvP helm 95 vers/43 mastery
226 cloak 28 crit/51 haste vs equipped 220 pvp cloak haste/vers
226 cloak 31 vers / 48 mastery vs equipped 220 pvp cloak haste/vers

#

wish i could pvp more to get the 226 pvp cloak and then i'd just get stygia i guess, but i'm stuck at the rival dream

jagged pier
#

whats the ilvl of your helmet?

flint tiger
#

also 220

jagged pier
#

haste cloak then

flint tiger
#

even at the cost of higher vers?

jagged pier
#

yes

stark sage
#

ilvl > haste

flint tiger
#

right, was just curious if i should aim for more vers over haste if with the ilvl reqs

#

since bleeds/magic is our biggest weakness

#

guess going haste/crit still decent

stark sage
#

and most importantly 226 >> 220

strong forum
#

ilvl > haste > whatever, really

jagged pier
#

ilvl > haste > ver> mastery/crit

strong forum
#

stats dont matter

jagged pier
#

its in the pins

flint tiger
#

right, but i've heard from some other high key tanks like Plka that they like to go vers over haste (assuming same ilvl) cause bleeds wreck

stark sage
#

our stats are pretty damn close, and str is the most impactful by a lot

#

not worth giving up ilvl for verse

flint tiger
#

so was curious if i'd get the 226 vers cloak instead

#

cause I have two cloaks in my cache

#

both at 226

jagged pier
#

are u doign 25s?

modern brook
#

Welcome to who's gear is it anyways, where priorities are in the pins and secondaries dont matter

elfin nova
#

230 is also more than 225

flint tiger
#

still a ways to go till 25s, but no idea if the magic/bleeds are scary at 20s or only 25s lol

elfin nova
#

You can go even further beyond

strong forum
#

rule of thumb, if it has haste, pick it

jagged pier
flint tiger
#

kk so 25s is the threshhold where then it becomes a point to consider?

strong forum
#

na

modern brook
#

the threshold to consider more verse

stark sage
strong forum

nerf did 25s with 209 ilvl and 7% vers
