how good is crit for warrior and would it be worth taking the trinket below and replacing heart of Al'Ar
would it be worth just replcing Al'ar because of the ilvl upgrade?
OPC is decent for parsing
Alar is worth if you're doing content where you're actively dying, or on prog where you can extend pulls by preventing tank deaths.
or my second option is
Crit is best damage s6s5
yeah good point - should mention for m+
Stat
yah and doing dps as a tank is good for M+
Crit is also parry
That's vers
okay - i suppose my last question would be - for M+ suitability would it better to take a neck upgrade for stam or the trinket upgrade for dps and prim stat
cause the neck item would also be an upgrade
survivability*
Hi all my guild asking me to sub in for our M SLG prog, is there anything noteworthy to use spell reflect?
thanks
Personally I'd just take the neck and replace it later with better stats if you can
If not you at least have more stats
In general more stats>"better" stats
time to commit die
Bad rng
One of my MTs doesn't have a Phoenix trinket of any kind. :(
What tier 7 talent for purely m+ running reprisal?
Anger Management
I think in general, you're going to want to run both alar and scale trinkets if pushing high m+ keys. Scale absorb and damage us great, and alar gives you cheat death for some dicey big pulls that will happen.
PS: I hate you for having both when neither have yet to drop for me at any ilvl.
is 203 to 226 shield a giganormous upgrade?
yes
considering opening vault as prot
alright thanks
do you not main prot?
i am

I need 2 cents i really got a tough one this time around... I like to play fury often as well and stone legion would be BiS for that however my main roll is tank and the helm option i highlted is Haste/Mastery + Socket...
That helm is pretty good for fury as well
both items would be 20 ilvl up
yeah i dont farm sockets what so ever so im leaning towards that since i can always kill generals everyweek
Shield>Weapon>Armor>Jewelry> Trinkets
I went with helm simply because my main focus is prot currently and it has haste +socket
thanks for the 2 cents boys 🙂
I feel like trinkets shouldnt be counted since id take a rf splintered heart over a 220 crappy trinket
hello all! new to warrior tanking, looking at legendaries and cant seem to find an answer online. With reprisal, if I intervene out of melee, and charge into melee, does the benefit stack? i assume I would get 40 rage, and only 1 revenge proc, but would I have 12 seconds of block, or 6?
ah! thanks!
I think the priority Griff listed works, with the only exception being the only strong trinkets for us (alar, scale, anima emitter, and maybe very minorly denathrius trinket)
cant seem to decide if i wanna be night fae or kyrian for 9.1 and season 2 of m+
kyr for prot 9.1 will be poggywoggy
Like a lot of poggywoggy or just a little bit ?
I raise you
decently poggywoggy
although I heard nf was a better choice in 9.1 than in 9.0.5
Well i guess they wilk be on par, but with Mikanikos we got 40 sec CD spear
But right I feal like ancient aftershock is better
I still think kyrian is better, spear is just nice in general
Yup It feeks smoother but it doesnt have anti-caster affect like ancient aftershock (the knock down thing), it is neat for me
But yea, Spear will be huge next patch
Phial is nice qol but not as big as thought in beta
beta hype was mostly due to nathria
since at one point it made slg and sire significantly easier encounters
phial is situationally good
it can be completely useless or gamebreaking
It's good with a shaman healer cuz whenever there's something is a debuff in m+, blizz made sure that shaman can't get rid of it
It's all poison / disease
you don't have that issue if you're a protadin doe 🤔


how would you guys rate dungeons in terms of difficulty?
feel like for me its (easiest to hardest) pf/mots/nw/halls/spires
/theater/sanguine/dos
Mots/hoa/?????????????/sanguine
ive always felt people psyche themselves up that sanguine is harder than it really is
like Ive had runs with 17 deaths but we still are on track to time it
in high keys the third boss on tyran is a nightmare, also many affixes make sanguin extremly hard
It's insanely easy to get stuck on bosses 1 and 2
but generally for keys bellow 20 the dungeon is alright
Generally if you wipe to first boss the key is rip, without pride and Lust that's a real ball buster
I think i actually never wiped on that one
How
but i agree, if you cant burn him then good luck
If you get more than 2 seismic smashes it's GG unless you're a kite god
idk the mechanics arent that hard
i mean they hit hard but they arent too hard to execute
It's not about mechanical difficulty it's about dying to soaks
Never wiped to 3rd ever
same
Much more to 2nd and 1st
ive only ever wiped to second boss
we did it that we "stacked" in the corner and then moved the boss across the room
so the healer can decide when to pick up the orbs
3rd one fucks us over because we dont have enough personals
Or well, did
so we die to the AoE
sanguine is the last one I need timed for ksm
Haven't done SD in a solid 3 months so yeh
I joined I solid 4 months into the xpac
I'll never forget doing SD14 in heroic week
With 180 ilvl
cock
As pwar/arms/ele/frostmage/rsham
prot was my second char i leveled this addon so when i equiped him we were already doing 15s so i feel that

God it was pain
regular mythic pus group thats funny 
hell yea
pug pain
Never pug
"oh were supposed to interrupt that"
I pugged 2 keys in 3 years total, that's 2 too many
i just told some reallife friends to start playing for years until they started, now i have a m+ group 
the only keys ive ever done in a premade was a spires 13 and a dos 10
and we missed timing the dos by a solid 30 minutes
it was funny cause it was my first intro to pride, I didnt have optimal talents, was a good 190 ilevel, never done a dos above a 2, and I dont even think I had my leggo yet
For myself or in general for the grp?
Example: I find ToP very easy (and easier than mists), but I dont know any other who shares this 🤷♂️
am i the only one that wiped DOS last boss x times already because interveining to a ranged?
gj taking 4 people out of the employment/breeding pool

Thanks, always trying to do good things
just in terms of the group, how hard does it feel to time
Puh. Imo thats changes from fortified and tyranical (playing 99% pugs): top on fortified is mostly close, ob tyrannical its a walk in rhe park
For example
Same with SD or PF imo
I feel like top is harder in tyran weeks
not because it actually is harder
but because dps are braindead
you can fuckup 'easier' on tyran
Hm but imo all dungeongs except mists are easier in tyrannical 🤷♂️
most difficult key on tyran with pugs is spires change my mind
most of the dungeon is ez, your brain goes off and doesn't turn back on on bosses
where you need to pay attention
cause the average dps is to stupid to dodge those things on the second boss
did a 19 spires and none of the dps managed to dodge these things
and the healer and me stood there like
y'all have 1800 score dont you? :)))
@misty charm haha yeah 😂
all dungeons are easier on tyran until you get like +13 ad stuff starts one shotting
score 
dude I was pugging a halls 15 and had a 220 1500 io dps do 3.4k dps, and I beat every dps combined in interrupts
Will the ingamr-score be in 9.1 or just „planed“ up to now for some day in the future? I dont mean the thorgast but the m+ score thing
itll be in 9.1
i think thats 9.1
its on the ptr
so i can still check runs and if someones boosted?
I hope so
yes
Nice
how so
its no longer "time all dungeons 15+" and is gonna be "reach a certain score in the new system"
i mean, of you're kicking early you're bound to beat them
which will probably be equal to the score timing all 15s
incomplete picture here
oh thats actually awesome tho
optimal way to interrupt is as late as possible
it was like Im focusing something else and watching the collector freecast collect sins so I swapped to interrupt
also did you see the new mount lol
in 9.1 ksm
here it is
unique
season 1 for comparison
Yeah they're gonna be just recolours for all of SL
itll probably be unique for season 4
Just like glad mounts are gonna be recolours
And always have been recolours
The mount itself is unique for the expansion for glad/KSM, but each season will be a recolour
I think theyll give us a unique one for the last season
Why so
its usually the most important patch so I think they'll go all in. Similar to how ksm mount rewards started last season of bfa
Glad mount never had a unique unique mount, why should KSM
blizz hates pvpers tbf, always have given them the shaft
They have better rewards than pve offers
So idk man
Better titles/mounts/tmogs/enchants
Morning folks. We got two warrior tanks and are progressing on huntsman mythic. Is it advisable to soak sinseekers with a tank? Especially when sinseekers is reflectable.
We made immunities soak those
The pinned reflect guide says it is
We got a mediocre setup in terms of immunities
We just immuned all sinseekers with bop/block/turtle/bubble
1 paladin, 1 mage, 1 hunter :-(
That covers 2 sets
I mean for pvp its not an entirely new envirement every expac. They might get a new arena or bg, but they have more freedom to work on rewards and balancing because they dont have to make 10 new dungeon, and multiple raids every xpac and balance all of it
Then the 3rd you can assign people with strong defensives
Okay. Would the reflect be a DPS increase ? 😅
Okay
it does a tiny tiny dmg
But we've never tested if you can actually reflect anything there
It's a different mount becuz it's blue
I wish my guild was progressing mythic this tier
I wish they had their own theme that followed the patch
Well it does
it better be named something thematic
Pvp elite set is white
like bestwarrens something
Glad mount is white
Idk 9.1 is gonna be Hella disapointing
KSM mount is white
Just cause it's been too long
Feels like we're owed more than the scope of the patch
9.1 isnt gonna be any better than 9.0
What I don't understand is why the new dungeon isn't insta m+
9.0 was fine, people are just ragging on it cause it was a long patch
like the mount we had for ksm in 9.0 is sintouched void walker
Idk, patch 9.0 was prolly the patch I've played by far the least or any expansion launch
Very disappointed
I mean when did you stop playing
Been raidlogging for 2 months before quitting
M+ changes universally bad tbh
I stopped playing 1 month ago
But cn was fun and pvp is probably the best it's been in a while
Its just how long the patch has lasted
I played the game for 4 weeks then started raid logging
usually we should have had new content months ago
Na coco
X on the pvp part
Pvp is the best it's been in a while
I loved the new mythic plus changes. Valor is a nice system imo
i really dislike pvp atm
Valor system is a sad joke
Valor is a joke yeah
All nee affixed are toxic and annoying
new affixes are stupid as hell
The dungeons themselves top out at bearavle
i really like the new dungeons
idk the new dungeons seem alright
im just missing something like freehold tbh
Pvp in bfa was trash, in legion it was also trash
Pvp in SL is 10z better than the 20min games of legion and bfa
Prideful is really good at the mid level but ends up being laughable in any real progress key
Also idk why
But everyone's worse
why is valor such a bad system?
It accomplishes nothing
Price is too high
Not worth using the points outside of 210->220
It doesn't help you gear up
And even then it doesn't help you gear up
It makes 0 sense to use it on weapons cause of price point and you'll still drop them for a 226 from box or raid instantly
yeah but it still does more than if it didnt exist
You can upgrade 1 or 2 pieces total
Yes but that's not the point it was supposed to fix coconut
The point was to make gearing through m- viable
But it's still hot garbage
That's like saying having a quarter is better than nothing when you're staring at the dollar menu
I've used my Valor exactly once over gearing 3 characters
Gearing in SL is incredibly slow unless you can get boosted through mythic raid or get boosted to 2.1k in arena
No chance of gearing up quickly
I'm not totally against the cadence of gearing being slower than in bfa or tita forge Era tbh
Gearing really do be kinda booty
Its what's stopping me from playing an alt
Also let's be real 10 keys for 3 options is kinda dumb
The time you need to invest
But it's really weird being like Oops 2nd week of heroic raid being out and it already has no upgrades
I dont think valor is meant to make M= gearing as good as raiding, if anything its was designed to make it so you could actually use items you got at lower keys
mytic plus will never be as good as raiding
But it doesnt
Because the upgrade cost is prohibitively high
Why not?
Literally m+ is harder than raiding tbh
Big facts
Like Valor only use
Almost like it's ridiculous that you can get equivalent to raid gear from pvp but not from keys
👀
mythic plus is one chance at a reward after a good 30-40 minutes of time spent, where as raiding gives you around 10 chances for loot every clear. furthermore mythic plus is harder than raiding, but gives lower rewards, so unless mythic plus rewards scale higher in ilevel, and are weekly capped it will never be as efficient and easy as raiding
Or any other good trinket
😬that's not how numbers work
Theres literally no downside to letting people achieve 226 with upgrades
Like literally 0
I mean at the end of it
M+'s relation to raids loot tables is irrelevant when discussing valor
Valor ultimately does not address what it was trying to address
valor more like squalor
split raidin heroic is even more efficient this expac than the previous compared to m+
gearing wise
Even if I got a 210 weapon on my paladin I'd have to do like 25 keys or something stupid like that to get it to 225
Bit over gearing 3 characters to 220+, that's literally the only time I've used it
your right valor failed to do what it was supposed to, but it still made things in mythic plus better, it wasnt a bad system, just wasnt as good as it can be
i don't see the point of valor atm tbh
I mean doing 25+ keys to just upgrade one item that I have to get to drop in the first place......
unless you're hardstuck at +10 and heroic raiding
Doesnt seem like a good system to me
Not even Helpful then
U need ksm to get to 220
I dont have to roll the fuck out of gv to get my trinket high ilevel lol'\
You aren't going to be able to get 226 equivalent from pvp either in 9.1
i retract my point
its more like barely over 10, ive hit weekly cap like every week just doing random keys. You get like 130 valor or something per 10+
exactly
Which is good tbh because pvp gear should be separate from pve gear
the new pvp changes are great
You realize each upgrade for a 2h is 1k valor? So if you wanna go from 210 to 220 it's like 3000 valor
So no it's not "just 10"
That's 22.22222 keys
Just to get the valor
Not even the item

What's worse doing .222222 of a key or a world quest for your callings
Tldr horribly inefficient
Isn't Valor also capped I the sense that what's spent is spent like it is with conquest? Or did they change thay
Nah that's how it works
Yeesj
3k you can't get back for 10 ulvls that you throw away on a gamble every week
eh 2 handed weapons are stupid cost, but I dont think prices should be to low anyway. Like most raiders do m+ and most m+ players raid, so making m+ a very easy way to gear up, makes it way faster to max the power level of your character. That just leads to less progression
Does it?
Most people don't do high keys
Also let's assume that's correct
It still doesnt excuse the crappy system that doesn't take your time seriously
i mean
the high keys were talking about are 14s. Pretty easy, and most people just do them weekly
wow doesn't take your time seriously in general
When I spammed dungeons in Wrath it wasn't because it took me time I did it because it was fun and it was genuinely not a bad way to actually gear
🤷
Because valor back then wasn't a joke
wow gearing hasnt been fun in years
valor system was better in tbc tbh
Sad truth of modern day
it used to feel meaningful when you got an upgrade
well
It still does?
people weren't so sweaty about upgrades also
nowadays people are all like "muh vers" "muh sims"
Like I love seeing upgrades
Must've been casual
I mean
true
Sims been around for a long long time
upgrades now dont make me feel stronger, they make me feel like my ilevel number is going up
but fewer people were as sweaty
And when we didnt have them we had spreadsheets kekw
And the public consensus was BiS lists and gearscore
Sweat still doesn't tbh
fair
But in the higher end environments you simmed for stat optimisation
It's like bro
Idk my damage week 2 and my damage now beg to differ
i member in tbc there was this chinese guild making thottbot/wowhead news
Just wanted to dispel that myth real quick 🙂
by clearing BT in dungeon blues
You can go back to ranting now xoxo
I'd rather you teach me how to pink tank
Check ivy veins (with ad block off, support your guide writers)
If that doesnt get you 90% of the way there lmk. Cos it should.
And I'll update

enjoy the pain
Please dont
fwiw, i didn't say simming didn't exist
Tfw I'm considering going Venthyr for Sire prog
Of a guild getting server first

I member when Server first was smth cool
And then I grew up ye
and got anime hair
I remember when wow was something cool
Bro
I also ran pugs in all 3 of the first xpacs
dont bro me
Yes dude. That's the good part
Yeah like 45 minutes into clasisic aid patch
gear makes you stronger yeah, but its never felt meaningful. proably cause we have many difficulties. Its more like in classic where there was one difficulty, it actually felt like fights were easier, things were dying faster, where as in live your gear basically scales with the level of content your doing. So instead of it feeling like things are easier, it feels like you can do higher level stuff
Hey I'm quite enjoying my level 23 blood elf paladin in prepatch
You have 3 guesses
I keep staring at the tbc character creator
And realizing how much stupid horse shit I'll have to do to "maintain snd" or "slam"
And I just go back to retail
followed 
And I'm also gonna have to learn what the hell I'm doing with this 58 undead woyer
👌
What have you done to Nome? TURN HIM INTO KENSHIRO
GM
I would play tbc
But I've been informed that I'd be spat on
And kicked out of groups
Via a weak aura

Avoiding players is a good thing
As if we don't have the same problem on retail
all players are dumb 
I find it mad that people I know who raid in classic always appear offline
just diff shades
Sakura called she wants her hair back so she can go see Naruto
never stop learning kids 👌
Cos if the classic players see them in retail they get kicked in classic
Exactly
Brainlag can get you anywhere
Anytime
I'm hot, fuck you 
No matter who you are
Just don't invite DH players. They're dumb most of the time anyway
everybody taking those people in pvp and pve !!!
say dh free guild invite as main tank
easy
And then instakick right after the first raid if this would ever be a real precedent
Because said dh succ
our guild sadly had dh tank which he didn't have any enchantment on any items but they keep it cause he wasn't dying.
we were on HC sire something like 4 month ago
Such scrubs don't get past first 1-2 bosses of mythic usually
well he did 1 & 2 until i got angry about his log doing zero dps
Though, me and Panthea know one case of such scrub who got carried by gear at the end of BfA and got himself CE... Multiple months after absolutely decimating nerfs of Nzoth
then i find out he have been tanking without enchantment

Get buff and you'll be hotter
something you actually try to recruit
i was trying to show how easy is to get into guild as dh
Ikr but lazy is too strong
Into a normal/heroic guild that sucks if they consider meta for what they're doing
i had case where dh had 1.3k verssa and me with 500 and yet he took way more damage then me
there are monks out there
taking more damage than i did on prog
they're 226, i was like 213
@gaunt dawn you said the other day on sire u need SW for 7:20 and 9 mins out of interest whats happening at thoughs points?
9mins is 2nd overlap
7:20 is first seed movement
after price 1
assuming you are the 2nd tank in p3
those are your highest DTPS periods
this also assumes that you swap on each shatter
Alright ive been to 7:20 a fair but and didnt really feel in pain
But not 9 mins so was just wondering
And yer we are
And i can take second tank it works out better for me anyways
depends on your co-tank tho
i'm probs the worst for it
cos i have to run away and do transcend BS
so i taunt a solid 3s after the knock
Ah well ill see whats going on but dh and warrior tank dint need no BS we leap and charge
Yer the dh leaps i charge repisal kinda big final phase
Ither both are fine
Kelia simsa higher but in some situation pelagos actually does more as 2 potencies
yeah true dat its abit more in sims
Which reminds me, i gotta go back to Kyrian.
and interessting enough the conduit for the spear is lower then juggernaut

Personally the difference is so small for tanking with that I run Pelagos as Kleia is my go-to for my DPS spec
I mean it will sim less yes but thats not always true as execute often doesnt last as long as it doing in sims
i thought kyr isnt that interessting anymore with necro buffs and NF for m+
- there is not the possibility to always keep the buff up in game due to movement/rage issues etc.
ahh cool then i am happy cause i like the blueboy team
A self heal and a kiting tool that also give Rage are a pretty good toolset
Necro is w/e.
NF is great for m+.
ahh okay diffrence is anyway for me only 2 dps 😄
Also the whole bleed/curse removal is prime for Necrotic and Grievous weeks
that issue i dont have anymore with DI dwarf 😛
Wdym. Dwarf is the only race for alliance.

i dont push that high keys or CE that the defensive value of stoneform would benefit me
ergo i take the dmg boost on DI 🙂
Tfw regular dwarf > DID in damage.
If I was forced to play Alliance I'd play DID
flamybeard?
most part i like is the speedbuff tbf 😄
coming from a slow ass human pala
i'd also play DID if i had an alliance warrior
Most people are belf
It all comes down to personal preference except for alliance
Dorf op
Panda chungus master race
people coom for boring stuff ig
is hunters falling behind a scaling issue?
no
other classes gotten better?
they still have the same niche of 2 minute 5 target nuking
their single target was never good
ah okies
They just got nerfed
They were OP, they nerfed the OP, and then rebuffed stuff a bit and are still in a solid spot just not as strong as before
oh yeah they fixed a bug didnt they
feel i hear a lot "this doesnt scale and will be bad, just see mm and ww and how good fury warriors are coming"

sCaLiNg
And WW got bug fixed
Same as MM
Lmao
WW is still crazy strong cuz they got buffed after the bugfix to offset the fix
Not cuz of scaling
guess i shouldnt listen to sources that speaks of scaling left and right
Fury got buffed by over 30% since SL launched
correct
So yeah, don't listen to people that just say scaling
holy moly
It's tuning, not scaling
check
Shadowpriest however, that one actually does scale
bUt HiStOrIcAlLy
They get crazy with more and more gear
Even right now they value haste over mainstat like crazy
scaling :0
shadowform is actually the priest vibrating so fast that they bend light
one of my favourite memes
that's why they want haste
there are very few cases of actual scaling
elaborate pls
gear increasing != scaling
scaling would imply an exponential increase
rather than a fairly linear one
mhm
most of the time scaling is mentioned its one of the two incorrect scenarios
gear increasing at a linear rate
buffs happening
☝️
Scaling means your class get 12 or more power out of 10 points when others get 10 power out of 10 points. To put it incredibly simple
With arbitrary scales
With no other factors included
i have a nerd question for you
ever since i moved to my new pc
my OBS recordings have increased in size by ~10x
i'm p sure my settings are the same
but cant be sure

settings or driver update
Bitrate?
idk how obs behaves with gfx drivers doe
Maybe you record with 50k Bitrate instead of 25k or smth
Yes streaming, but you can also record on different bit rates
What is your output video?
Thats what i ment
Its not in the screen shot
I record at 1080p
But im playing at 2k
no 😡
🤔
use 4:3 for the authentic retro look
👀
castually recording in 4k
Aha aha pally exploits
and wondering why its eating my SSD

New fall guys update looks lit
lol switched to arms to get some OS gear and got anima field emitter. not bad for my main spec 🙂
Hey guys, currently progging on Sire. Is Pelagos still the best soulbind ? Was thinking maybe bringing in the better Cry. Ty.
Yes he is and u can take what u like better cry and a bigger hp pot aint bad
there is a trinket vendor on the PTR for the new raid trinkets 
doesnt sell the new cheat death trinket 
THIS
damn jakey dont agree with me
I agree with the peepostudy as well
: )
I went Kleia, does slightly more dps
nice
I don't think TF and the shield match that
The belt is an interesting choice as well.
But hey, if you like it, send it
Hm changing 220 crit/hast ring to 226 versa/mastery ring drops me to 20% haste (versa socket) but brigns mie to 17% vers
20 haste is minimum we should have, right? (according to Pika)
I'd use the 220
The 20% minimum haste is feelycraft
But dropping a 220 haste ring for a non haste ring is not an option
No way jose
k
Any advice for getting myself to use shield wall or last stand more often.. I find my self so hyper focused on SB uptime with reprisal and weaving IP in tween revenges when needed that I forget to use my defensives..
Haha I've actually done that with intervene I'll probably do the same good call
Is there spreadsheet with all shortcuts ?
like on your keyboard? Shortcuts for what?
Back in WoD i knew a mage whose screen when black everytime crystal and ring were cd

No kidding lol, it's odd for me to use them I guess with this tank spec because I never really feel like I need defensives due too SB uptime / IP
Probably mostly due to the fact that I haven't been doing very difficult content so far it's been +10 - +12 keys for the specific gear I want
Better to get used to pressing them in eaiser content like i tbh dont press them enough, but its not all pressing them on cd. Its pressing them and know that youll have them when u need them it takes a while to get used too tbh
@tropic linden thank u kind m8, i asked cuz for SV hunt they got separated Spreadsheet
IMO u need to start using it on CD and then fine tuning to use when needed after u condition urself to always remember the skill exists

Thats the better way
Trying to get myself to use them more I've been just using them right before the free sb from charge falls off at the start of big pulls
And I've been holding last stand for scenarios of < 30% hp
There's some pulls where you should stack SW with block (shit maybe even an IP) but they're few and far between. Usually you can just use SW as the sweet SB gap filler
Last stand u usually use on CD for the Rage generation from conduits, and is not only a heal but increase in HP
Last stand is basically a DPS CD if you're running AM and unnerving
Or well..a rage gen CD
I try using SW like that as well sometimes as a filler between SB uptime
I mean, it's "only" a 30% heal, not realy a defensive cd if u have nothing up with it. They will shread this 30% in no second
No i look like a crazy one haha
1
Eing 1 it has loads of haste
<20% haste always
Ring*
ty 😉
I usually wait for harder packs where SB is not enough and kite when SB is down
39% haste or bust
Ironically enough I find myself not really needing to kite much with reprisal due to High SB uptime granted it's only in +10s 12s etc but still its great
I only really kite things that do bleeds
Atleast so far
I know once I get this tank into 15s it'll be more mandatory
166%
Lmao 
if i'm not wrong u just cut ur haste from the SB CD. With 30% haste SB should be 12.3 sec
Which is why u go for 39% because anything passed that u actually get 8 haste for every 10
Haste on every piece of gear including rings having haste as the higher stats gets us around 30% right
More
I can have up to 33% haste unbuffed
And I don't have bis neck
Or every single big haste piece
Only a couple
I'll be limited to 213-220 gear mostly on this alt outside of vault loot so I'm assuming I can get to around 30% after enough valor farm
But I socketed and enchanted mastery to get a few more crit blocks with the high uptime on SB we can have
I value that much more
The actual math is 16/(1+haste)
Same for cast time
So rn I have 28% haste and only like 21% mastery, but better than 31% haste and 15%mastery
33% more crit blocks that way for very little effort
Oh yeah 6% in a stat is pretty great and you still have what like 12s sb recharge?
Smth like that ye
On pikas video someone commented some haste break points is that guy blowing smoke? Sec I'll post
There are no breakpoints
No u want 39% before itf
This is the right math
isnt itf also a multiplier?
16 haste stat = 1% is that what thats saying?
no
16 is the SB cd
Oh right right don't mind me lacking coffee this morning lol
the cd is 16/(1+haste%)
so if u have 50% haste
its 16/1.5
= a number
that in seconds, is sb's hasted cd
The actual problem is that is not really "break points" because the CD can be decimals, don't need to be full numbers
Itf is a 10% multiplier, your base haste is 100%. So if you have 30% haste, with full ITF you end up at 43% haste in total
this
Same with heroism/Lust
The only relevant breakpoint that exists is 39% because at 40% the 20% stat tax sets in making it not worth losing the additional stat points for a bigger increase in said stat
So for me it'd be 16 divided by 1.21
Wait it's better than i though. Nice
Then the opportunity cost is too high
even then I think its only on raw haste #'s
And that's how long recharge time is
like it costs more haste value to get 1% haste
Yes raw value
Not % for the tax
so % buffs or trinkets that give haste without raw value are still valued
The 10% tax from 30% to 39% isn't relevant enough?
No
You lose a total of 33 haste going from 30 to 40%
Which is not relevant enough
From 40 to 50% you lose 66 haste
For example
Which is quite a chunk
why did all of the top mythic plus runs turn orange. Is Guardian just that good grievous sanguin?
cause pretty much every run that isnt grievous sanguine is still vengence
Its push week
Because baers don’t die!
And druid is better
In general
Basically unkillable every 3 mins
And every 2 mins
Heh noob
I suppose its because veng is better at the kiting meta, but with guardian has the best straight survivability, so in weeks when straight surviving is best, they shine
Kiting meta died in like February
not as bad ever since the dmg taken buffs
Yea, now we're in the 'wait for next patch' meta 😄
laughs in shield block
Anyone added together all the haste from 9.1 gear on ptr yet? What about gems any gems we go for? Trying to catch myself up to speed
worry about that when you get there
👍
its literally useless information knowing about the maximum value
But but.. useless information is my favorite

Took notes 
Pigeons fly backwards when they get yeeted by cars downtown...have seen it
wait kiting meta died? sorry new to tank -- didnt follow the tank meta prior
You're better off just not following the tank "meta" imo
😄
There was never a kiting meta
Uhhh
kiting meta is greatly overplayed by people who just arent used to having to rotate their defensives properly. Kiting is definitely an important tool now, but its not that big of a deal in most dungeons
Just the fact that "kiting meta" exists as a term says that there was at least enough of a strong conception that kiting was necessary early on in the 9.0 cycle
As prot warrior we are inclined to believe theirs no "kite meta" laughs in shield block
Even prot warr needed to kite eventually in 9.0
Tanks started the xpac in a relatively weak state
yeah first couple weekly of 9.0 were pretty bad but theyve nerfed tank damage intake significantly since then
Or maybe just the expectations of what should be tanked easily were not in line with the reality of the tier.
Not to mention gearing was in a rough spot at the start
Had to get dat pvpppp
Congratulations!
Any idea what Kyrian leggo is yet?
Ty 🥰
does anyone know why i cant see other ppls mdt links in chat but me and others can see the ones i link?
Prolly an update issue
U know what it would be hype if the kyrian leggo made spear area of effect bigger and worked like mass grip, that woukd be cool
/slappy hands
Grabs everything in and keeps them in the circle
Defo
The tiny area of it is actually infuriating
But the leggo would have to be severely broken to beat reprisal
I mean true
And thats not gonna happen when fury still exists
But would be fun to play around with
Cuz they can't balance leggos around multiple specs for some reason
Cuz braindamage, instead of having multiple values for different specs, they nerf the entire thing
See, condemn conduit
I swear because this game is so old and some code is so poorly written and connected with every piece is why we can't have nice things
It did used to be coded on rabbits so yes probably
Like there were some game issues related to the default bag you have because the code is so spaghetti that core game mechanics somehow had to do with the code of the bag and thats why it was so hard to untangle
Or some shit
the "kite meta" community perception was dropped when every tank got buffed and veng got nerfed on 9.0.5
I wasnt kiting in 9.0 tbh
everything other (code) would be suprising on such an old code
U all just weak
Vdh still has to kite obscene amounts, but guardian and warrior aren't kite tanks
I wrote community perception, missed it first my bad
Amen
And vdh didn't get nerfed in 9.0.5, they still had they physical mitigation buffed by 5% which is much more relevant than the lost 10%magic
And in 9.1 vdh will get the buffed to the same values as the other tanks got in the end
Ye I guess
How much haste do/or we should be looking to get, I feel like I'm having huge down time in my rotation waiting for rage, granted there are times were I'm probably messing up.
Prot and guardian only kite for specific mechanics, when vdh has glaring downtime issues cuz they can't tank outside of meta windows
As much as you can, usually if you feel you have huge downtime you are defo making mistakes
and dunno. the deal is that blizzard has trying to get rid of the perception that M+ is "gather everything and AoE it down", even though that's hard to do
they tried "make mobs harder" on bfa. that, uh, didn't go well
Blizzard is stupid in trying to do so
What's wrong with aoe killing everything
I don't get it
Im only 203 but my haste is only like 12%.
Well yeah you're undergeard as hell. Prot will start to feel better starting at 210++
Prot needs gear to get going
And my personal feelycraft is, around 25%is when shit starts to be groovey
nerds that think that taking their sweet time on marking mobs on dungeons that people run dozens of times already and have a map of each pack is "how things should be done"
I always feel like i take a billion damage in fort DoS dungeons
I think that they should get bent, but I'm not blizzard
like way more than other dungeons
isn't DoS, like, a gorillion magic damage on bosses?
dont get me wrong: I like challening mini-boss trash, but that's one point I like tyrannical more than fortified: Trash feels more like trash
First two packs are rough in there, magic damage
It's only really the first 2 packs that suck in DoS
Rest is omega chill
But then again
I don't push cuz im not a degenerate that plays badly designed content, designed to fuck you in the ass 
With no fun allowed
^^
yeah and i play those properly i feel like. Maybe i just havent done 20s on fort in a while but as soon as i step in there i just take a lot of damage
dunno. I haven't tanked in ages so getting used to it again, part of that is realizing that you can't do cool skips with weaker players
Im just comparing to other dungeons
Well, If your group can keep a consistant supply of interupts and/or stuns, it goes quite well.
I Rarely run DoS without a Balance though, trees are just to stronk
Having a boomkin is like day and night
Same with a firemage
Not having those 2 will just make your run so much more less fun cuz of the dumb things they have
Ele is decent, with the earth Elemental on steroids.
To long of a CD though
I had the trifecta early in SL
and dispels
Resto sham, ele sham, boomy, fire mage and me through just the sheer coincidence that this are our mains
Safe to say I didn't have to tank alot
like, holy shit, does NW goes wrong when healers don't know what they are doing
Ahh that’s right, spell steal the big adds buff
are there trainingsdummies where you can execute?
Yes.
At least there are on PTR - i would guess it's the same on live.
Check your covenants training dummy section.
they are all at full hp 😦
Got he Boss one down to 93% then he killed me 😄 The others regen every few secs (kyrian) 😄 so my damage is too low that I don't do 1mio dps 😄
That's weird.
I know for sure that the Venthyr class hall has one..never checked the other ones. 👀
Well the Venthyr class hall you can condemn at 100% hp

^or maybe it was that.
classic mwahi
😄
when you have hunter and druid in your grp 😄
The best thing you can have is the hunter using the urn in DOS on the mask on pull 
How long is the CD on shield wall with the wall leggo with good use of SS?
the wall is roughly 50% CDR, so ~2 minute cd
depends on talents and conduit as well but reduction from just the wall is 2 mins ish as erga said
If you're God Mode it's 1min
(with the right talent)
18 per minute

Question regarding ToP's 1st boss, do you guys focus the accursed through her shield and kill her 1st? Or do you switch off of her and let her shield timeout?
