Tbh I'm just tryna fly my new drone not play wow

#

Or just be a classic andy

sick sentinel
#

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?

signal plover
#

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.

sick sentinel
#

or my second option is

sick sentinel
#

yeah good point - should mention for m+

chilly brook
#

Stat

sick sentinel
#

yah and doing dps as a tank is good for M+

chilly brook
#

Crit is also parry

sick sentinel
#

does it increase ip absorb?

#

or is that vert?

chilly brook
#

That's vers

sick sentinel
#

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

Hi all my guild asking me to sub in for our M SLG prog, is there anything noteworthy to use spell reflect?

sick sentinel
#

to see what is reflect-able and whats not

sinful depot
#

thanks

sick sentinel
#

looks like for SLG... not really

chilly brook
#

If not you at least have more stats

#

In general more stats>"better" stats

yea makes sense

i'll do that

PS: I hate you for having both when neither have yet to drop for me at any ilvl.

sick sentinel
#

is 203 to 226 shield a giganormous upgrade?

stark sage
#

yes

sick sentinel
#

considering opening vault as prot

stark sage
#

shield factors into your block DR

#

its the most important slot to upgrade

sick sentinel
#

alright thanks

do you not main prot?

I main pvp 🙂

#

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...

brave geode
#

That helm is pretty good for fury as well

dusky canopy
#

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

chilly brook
#

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?

honest plinth
#

Reprisal is 4s sb

#

You will have 8

bleak stirrup
#

ah! thanks!

flint tiger
#

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 ?

chilly brook
#

I raise you

undone verge
#

although I heard nf was a better choice in 9.1 than in 9.0.5

river spade
#

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

undone verge
#

I still think kyrian is better, spear is just nice in general

river spade
#

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

tame jasper
#

What about phial?

#

I mesn thats a huge thing imp on the defensive side

#

*imo

strong forum
#

Phial is nice qol but not as big as thought in beta

brittle owl
#

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

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

misty charm
#

in high keys the third boss on tyran is a nightmare, also many affixes make sanguin extremly hard

strong forum
#

It's insanely easy to get stuck on bosses 1 and 2

misty charm
#

but generally for keys bellow 20 the dungeon is alright

strong forum

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

I pugged 2 keys in 3 years total, that's 2 too many

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

Thanks, always trying to do good things

undone verge
tame jasper
#

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

undone verge
#

I feel like top is harder in tyran weeks

#

not because it actually is harder

#

but because dps are braindead

brittle owl
#

you can fuckup 'easier' on tyran

tame jasper
#

Hm but imo all dungeongs except mists are easier in tyrannical 🤷‍♂️

misty charm
#

most difficult key on tyran with pugs is spires change my mind

brittle owl
#

most of the dungeon is ez, your brain goes off and doesn't turn back on on bosses

#

where you need to pay attention

misty charm
#

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? :)))

tame jasper
#

@misty charm haha yeah 😂

undone verge
#

all dungeons are easier on tyran until you get like +13 ad stuff starts one shotting

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

undone verge

itll be in 9.1

i think thats 9.1

undone verge

its on the ptr

theyre changing ksm too

so i can still check runs and if someones boosted?

tame jasper
undone verge

yes

misty charm

Nice

misty charm
undone verge
# misty charm how so

its no longer "time all dungeons 15+" and is gonna be "reach a certain score in the new system"

brittle owl
undone verge
#

which will probably be equal to the score timing all 15s

brittle owl
#

incomplete picture here

misty charm
#

oh thats actually awesome tho

brittle owl
#

optimal way to interrupt is as late as possible

undone verge
#

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

strong forum
#

Yeah they're gonna be just recolours for all of SL

undone verge
#

itll probably be unique for season 4

strong forum
#

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

undone verge
#

I think theyll give us a unique one for the last season

strong forum
#

Why so

undone verge
#

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

strong forum
#

Glad mount never had a unique unique mount, why should KSM

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.

undone verge

if its reflectable sure

just makes the fight easier

The pinned reflect guide says it is

We just immuned all sinseekers with bop/block/turtle/bubble

1 paladin, 1 mage, 1 hunter :-(

strong forum
#

That covers 2 sets

undone verge
# strong forum They have better rewards than pve offers

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

strong forum
#

Then the 3rd you can assign people with strong defensives

obsidian girder
#

Okay. Would the reflect be a DPS increase ? 😅

strong forum
#

No it would at best just negate the dot you get

#

But not a full on reflect

obsidian girder
#

Okay

undone verge
#

it does a tiny tiny dmg

strong forum
#

But we've never tested if you can actually reflect anything there

modern brook

It's a different mount becuz it's blue

I wish my guild was progressing mythic this tier

Blue isn't blaxk

9.0 was good imo

9.0 was fine, people are just ragging on it cause it was a long patch

Also idk why

But everyone's worse

undone verge
#

why is valor such a bad system?

modern brook
#

It accomplishes nothing

strong forum
#

Price is too high

#

Not worth using the points outside of 210->220

#

It doesn't help you gear up

modern brook
#

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

undone verge
#

yeah but it still does more than if it didnt exist

strong forum
#

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

modern brook
#

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

strong forum
#

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

modern brook
#

I'm not totally against the cadence of gearing being slower than in bfa or tita forge Era tbh

chilly brook
#

Gearing really do be kinda booty

strong forum
#

Its what's stopping me from playing an alt

chilly brook
#

Also let's be real 10 keys for 3 options is kinda dumb

strong forum
#

The time you need to invest

modern brook
#

But it's really weird being like Oops 2nd week of heroic raid being out and it already has no upgrades

undone verge
#

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

strong forum
#

Not as good as raiding

#

But atleast get upgrades

undone verge
#

mytic plus will never be as good as raiding

strong forum
#

Deterministic gearing like pvp

#

But it's not

modern brook
#

Because the upgrade cost is prohibitively high

chilly brook
#

Literally m+ is harder than raiding tbh

chilly brook
modern brook
#

Like Valor only use

chilly brook
#

👀

modern brook
#

Is grinding 10s for a phial

#

Or a changeling if ur a dork spec

undone verge
#

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

modern brook
#

Or any other good trinket

chilly brook
#

Raiding is efficient?

#

Bro do you even progression raid?

undone verge
#

as efficient

#

1 is still greater than 2 even though they are low numbers

modern brook
#

😬that's not how numbers work

chilly brook
#

Theres literally no downside to letting people achieve 226 with upgrades

#

Like literally 0

modern brook
#

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

brittle owl
#

valor more like squalor

modern brook
#

So like is it better than nothing sure

#

I ha e a 220 phial cause of it so pog

brittle owl
#

gearing wise

chilly brook
#

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

modern brook
#

Bit over gearing 3 characters to 220+, that's literally the only time I've used it

undone verge
#

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

brittle owl
#

i don't see the point of valor atm tbh

chilly brook
brittle owl
#

unless you're hardstuck at +10 and heroic raiding

chilly brook
#

Doesnt seem like a good system to me

modern brook
#

U need ksm to get to 220

undone verge

That's roughly 20ish hours for one 220 piece if not more time

#

That's 22.22222 keys

#

Just to get the valor

#

Not even the item

modern brook
chilly brook
#

Tldr horribly inefficient

modern brook
#

Isn't Valor also capped I the sense that what's spent is spent like it is with conquest? Or did they change thay

chilly brook
#

Nah that's how it works

modern brook
#

Yeesj

#

3k you can't get back for 10 ulvls that you throw away on a gamble every week

undone verge
#

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

chilly brook

Does it?

# chilly brook Idk my damage week 2 and my damage now beg to differ

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.

@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

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

I know once I get this tank into 15s it'll be more mandatory

dusky canopy
#

Lmao peepostudy

tropic linden
jagged pier
#

Which is why u go for 39% because anything passed that u actually get 8 haste for every 10

dusky canopy
#

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

dusky canopy

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

tropic linden
#

16 is the SB cd

dusky canopy
#

Oh right right don't mind me lacking coffee this morning lol

modern brook
#

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

tropic linden
# dusky canopy

The actual problem is that is not really "break points" because the CD can be decimals, don't need to be full numbers

strong forum
#

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

strong forum
#

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

dusky canopy
#

So for me it'd be 16 divided by 1.21

tropic linden
strong forum
#

Then the opportunity cost is too high

modern brook
#

even then I think its only on raw haste #'s

dusky canopy
#

And that's how long recharge time is

modern brook
#

like it costs more haste value to get 1% haste

tropic linden
strong forum
#

Not % for the tax

modern brook
#

so % buffs or trinkets that give haste without raw value are still valued

strong forum
#

Yup

#

Raw value, its just easier to say the straight number without buffs

tropic linden
strong forum
#

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

tropic linden

Thanks

In 9.1 we will reach 39% haste with ease i think

It takes some serious commitment to getting to 40% anyway
