Anyone know what the haste requirements for a 12 sec shield block is? thats when you can do 3 shield blocks in a row right?

It's 25%. If nobody got that yet

blazing condor
#

man i dont wanna do math

#

thats mwahis job

strong forum
#

The famous "22% haste cap" from bfa was because its what you needed for the 3 SBs back to back guaranteed with 1 ITF stack

#

Aka guaranteed at all situations

#

That's what some m+ people made up as being a "cap"

#

Which was just flat out wrong to call it that

unique shale
#

Any tip for stone legion mythic ?

jagged pier
#

Have fun

unique shale
jagged pier
#

There arent really any tipsnit all depends on how your guild does the fight

sweet summit
#

oh was it 1 stack peepostudy

jagged pier
#

Like i tried to help ppl but they did it a completely different way

#

So i couldnt really help tbh

#

As my timings were all different

unique shale
#

would be ideal to go kyrain for this fight or night fea ?

jagged pier
#

It doesnt matter

unique shale
#

stacks hurts so much in mythic or not ?

jagged pier
#

Couldnt tell u i didnt tank kaal

unique shale
#

yeah adds do more physical damage so its ideal to war tank it

jagged pier
#

The only time i tanked kaal wss final phase and it wasnt for every long

#

But yes dependant on other tank

#

Warrior should take adds

#

And having adds is good for reprisal

unique shale
#

yeah icy veins says i should aim to have highest uptime on SB

unique shale
strong forum
#

/cancelaura Intervene?

#

Slg is pretty light on tank dmg tbh

#

Kaal doesn't hurt, only the bleeds do once you have 3 or more stacks

#

On grashaal you swap on 2

#

Positioning is also pretty simple, just don't stand in the blades and stay close to raid

jagged pier
#

Before the /cast it will work

#

My dh put it on all his spells

daring bay
#

You are overestimating what allot of co tanks are willing to do for you

#

My co tank is our raidleader and he can barely taunt on the third "taunt call"

strong forum
#

I often had to spam scream for taunt cuz my cotank had nothing to do besides ook ook boss, and I was always hyperfocus RL

#

Kinda jealous ngl

#

I wish I could ook ook boss..

jagged pier
#

I mean its not hard to do takes like 5 mins if your co tank doesnt want to do it mabye have a word, but tbh only for sludge it matters on slg i was just intervening random ppl who came close

strong forum
#

Or just don't intervene cotank

#

Idk why people think they'd have to intervene the cotank

#

When there are literally 18 other targets to intervene

#

I intervened only cotank when I know it would be beneficial for him

jagged pier
#

I mean also that

#

Im just lazy and co tank is usualy closest

#

Exepct my hpala is my intervene target on sire just because he is usually the closest

strong forum
#

People like to overcomplicate alot of things

#

Why say many words when few do trick

jagged pier
#

True

#

Though

#

Just intervene other ppl

#

Sadge times next tier looking like im getting a new cotank that i cant abuse

strong forum
#

Abuse him anyway

#

Assert on him to piss dominance

jagged pier
#

I would, but hes an officer dont get me wrong a good player and a good co tank, but getting him to macro stuff is big nah

strong forum
#

Literally on our first raid night I said I'm not tanking with a low dmg turtle bitch

#

But Im also officer and RL so maybe that has slightly more authenticity

jagged pier
#

Well yer thats why he doesnt like tanking with me because he has to play aggresivly

#

And its a reason why we find it hard to find good co tanks for me

strong forum
#

Low dmg cotank means he's also playing wrong

jagged pier
#

All the way bad on krosus, a old guild tank came back and filled a spot

#

He was a paladin and was steuggling to hold aggro

#

And then was blaming me

#

The officers were like he literally just playing the game

#

XD

#

We went through like 5 co tank in ToS

#

But not all because of me it was ToS

#

But alot of the players in our guild dont like tanking tbh they should just out source instead of rotate theiugh players

#

Like my co tank atm itls great good fun play aggresivly but hes playing tank otherwise he would be benched as ret pala

The struggle is real

The most turtle ive gone is equip scale

#

Our guild not me killed m sk last night

#

They seemed excited about killing it

jagged pier
#

Sk got some difficult dps checks

sick sentinel
#

yeah, i was watching their stream when it happened which is how i know they got so excited

#

quick question p1 of gnome twins DoS, it's best to take him to the middle? (sham suggested it) and whole party needs to block pink beams or just me

gaunt dawn
#

take turns blocking it

#

it deals ramping damage

sick sentinel
daring bay
#

Does shieldblock have a "cap" or can i stack it for aslong as i can make it stack?

sweet summit
#

max 18 seconds without last stand w/ bolster

blazing condor
#

Yeah yogi i think the beams only spawn on milhouse’s side of the room

#

Meaning taking him to the edge of the half-circle can help with positioning for beams

lime urchin
#

do yall then take lady millhouse to the edge of the room or tank her in the middle?

#

some dps requested me tonking her at the edge for easier bomb management

#

(I am not entirely familiar with how annoying doing those bombs is as dps)

crude jolt
#

I usually keep her in the middle and try to click bombs as they spawn -- not a great personal success rate, though

#

You can turn your camera and keep your cursor on her and spam click

lime urchin
#

yes I tried that a couple of times, not succesfully yet tho

crude jolt
#

I've probably hit 15-20% personally, but it can help

sick sentinel
#

i probably want to keep LS until lady millhouse comes out too, like around 2 stacks, i think, i was using LS on mr gnome and it wasn't the right call

ruby steppe
#

hey, how can I find the "don't kick - spell reflection" WA?

this is where you search for more WA

ruby steppe

haha yes i was searching there but typed the wrong terms I guess^^ Tyvm! 🙂

also dont stay near melee clasees

you can sometimes click on them and not on the bomb

lime urchin
#

But v is fear!

honest plinth
#

so you need to do some high iq things and look in options to bind it haha

drifting oasis

could be handy assigning an "Interact with Mouseover" key bind, it's good in WSG for fast returning flags when bound to mousewheel down

Gotta spam click so your APM look good.

blazing condor
#

for milificent i just hold my cursor right where it turns into a sword and just spam click

Works ever tim

mellow bridge
#

I'm not sure about clicking bombs as the tank lads

#

you cant block during the channel so she just wrecks you

that's usually the healer's job

her melee ain't shit to worry about

The only thing that does damage is the bleed

fiery warren

Does anyone know if I have to stay near the 2 targets I want to give the mastery to with Banner, or does it stay on the same target regardless if I move away?

#

Considering rerolling necro, but don't know if I want to min/max that hard with position relative to dps players

strong forum
#

closest 2 targets applied, but after you use it it stays on them

and it is hard to minmax

relatively

Yes.

how did you feel

i did +15 hoa my ass get destroyed

15s on ptr are like 21s on live

21-22s

ofc, on my dk i did so much big pull that was insane

Half way through the dungeon i realized i don't need to look for perfect percentages.

2 of the mini bosses were meh..2 can be troublesome.:(

idk if that was a dps/heal problem but i felt paper, after tried dk ( i did better pull thanks death strike ) im gonna try druid and dh

#

this new affix is like s4 bfa without fun

strong forum
#

i think thats just cuz of SL

amber herald
#

there are scaling bugs on ptr, people doing 15's with 200ilvl gear instead of 226

toxic kelp
#

On naowh stream i saw that he needs to relog in order to scale properly inside dungeon

obtuse marsh
#

Yeah before key start you relog, if not you stay scale at 170

honest plinth
#

They have too low hp

#

I did few 15s and its more like 18 or something like that in terms of killing speed

strong forum
#

Hp wise mobs are 18-19

#

But due to K value dmg intake is like 21-22

chilly brook
strong forum
#

It hurts dps more than it hurts tanks

#

Cuz they don't get nearly as much defensives out of gear than tanks do

mellow quartz
#

the K value is just making your armor do less though so that should not be an issue?

strong forum
#

Usually at max gear tanks are unaffected by the K changes, but dps are actually weaker defensively in the long run

strong forum
#

So yes, it is an issue early on.

#

Look at it like this, with a 226 shield, you block roughly 35% of incoming dmg in mythic Castle nathria, with a 226 shield you only block about 15% dmg in sanctum mythic

#

Just because of K value

#

Ontop of your armor doing less

chilly brook
strong forum
#

^

mellow quartz
#

thought it was just armor, block and stagger

chilly brook
#

Block literally just boosts your armor to the % reduction

strong forum
#

"just"

#

That's literally all mitigation this game offers

chilly brook
#

Also stagger is affected by k value

mellow quartz
#

yeah thats what I said lol

chilly brook
#

Just like block

#

K value just straight devalues everything as soon as the new patch comes out

#

You never actually grow

strong forum
#

^

chilly brook
#

You just get regression and then get to come back to the point you were at maybe a little higher at max gear for new patch

strong forum
#

It's there to prevent tanks from scaling into infinite dmg reduction

#

But dps get also fucked in the process

#

Which is quite the design oversight

#

That never got adressed

chilly brook
#

Its just a dumb system tbh

#

Imho

strong forum
#

It is

mellow quartz
#

why should dps armor values not get devalued? otherwise later on in the expansion dps would take substantially less damage from physical attacks

strong forum
#

Because its only thought out for tanks

#

But dps lose actually armor

#

Whereas tanks just stay on the same level

chilly brook
strong forum
#

Dps lose more armor compared to tanks, on a relativity level

chilly brook
#

^

sick sentinel
#

tried again, same thing nearly

strong forum
#

In patch 9.0 a plate dps reduces ( im throwing arbitrary numbers here) dmg by 20%through armor, by patch 9.2 it'll only be 15% or w/e even with max gear

sick sentinel
#

man gnome cast of his ultimate spell and wiped us (pretty sure thats either laser or spikes)

stark sage
#

they should just rework armor completely, dont have it scale off ilvl at all
and then let tanks defensives scale completely off of stats and block value

sturdy sable
#

Should have been stoped by line @sick sentinel your DPS effed up

strong forum
#

^

chilly brook
#

And they'd hate it

#

Because it devalues ilvl

strong forum
#

Or just make armor DR

stark sage
#

just tie armor to the actual level requirements of the item

strong forum
#

And don't increase K value

chilly brook
#

Imagine

#

If armor

#

Reduced magic damage

strong forum
#

Then we'd get legion again

chilly brook
#

I'm fine with that

strong forum
#

And blizzard is terrified of tanks being actual tanks

#

Literally traumatised

#

Tanks need to require healers to live and should struggle and and only hold aggro and not deal dps

#

That's what blizz wants

chilly brook
strong forum
#

But hey, then nobody plays tank again besides cucks

#

So they start buffing tanks again

#

Step by step

sick sentinel
#

how about a flat magic reduction stat on armor ilvl all that shit, and then you can proc 1% fire res "titanforging" or buy it for 500 valor and equip it to gear, replaces your +leech/speed

strong forum
#

And then they get traumatised again

chilly brook
#

Weird how theres a tank shortage but they keep taking steps to make tanks less fun and worse

#

I wonder if theres a correlation, nah couldn't be

strong forum
#

Cuz everytime tank is fun blizzard decides to kill the role

sick sentinel
#

and so, leather and cloth protect slightly more against magic than it does against melee, and vice versa

strong forum
#

There are many solutions

sick sentinel
#

you lose a minue amount of spell red on plate/chain

strong forum
chilly brook
#

Lots of solutions, just blizz doesnt think it's a problem

strong forum
#

As long as there are enough people willing to suffer through raiding, that won't change

#

And raid tanks are precisely the "I only hold aggro and ultra turtle" players

sick sentinel
#

well, i can pop a potion to give me more stamina, or more armor, or i can pop one that gives str or a stat and lets me deal damage and move the timer of the key ahead faster because more dps

#

i wonder which one i chose

strong forum
#

Armor!

#

I'm a raid tank!

like legit

remember when armor gave AP

This depressing topic is great to take my mind off actually being depressed with jobs that lead you on and then after saying they're going to hire you hire someone else

@rancid ember to be fair in my case I did 2 interviews with them, attended one of their services/live broadcasts did a few things while there to make their broadcast look better and then after being told by the technical director they were going to hire me I get a call from HR telling me they're going with someone else that I wasn't even made aware of that they had another applicant

Ya idk

Ok I don't lead on that strong damn. That's a feelbadman fuck em
I definitely once in a while get that solid interview early in the day that sticks out, but then like the last guy comes in and blows em all away.

#

I stacked versa cause I didn't want to need a healer to carry my friends yep
But then I got to TD4 and never looked back...

chilly brook
strong forum
#

I played td4+it2+whatever I could fit in

#

It was literally the optimal setup for anything lower than 25

rancid ember
#

I started playing retail again in BFA well after N'zoth was dead. Corruption vendor and all that existed so I was thrown into some fucked up stuff

distant crystal
#

That was the pinnacle

rancid ember
#

Got up to 20 keys tho so I was proud of that atleast. You made fun of me back then cause I wanted to stack Versa yep

rancid ember

You and me both

rancid ember
#

You US or EU?

strong forum

And I'll keep making fun of people stacking vers

At this point it's a severe grudge for me

rancid ember

Don't ever change Nom

#

After that I went to TD and realized I fell for the versa baits

#

Wasted so many echoes...

strong forum
#

Always play max dmg, afterwards you start building defensively when you know that you need more defensives now.

#

Not the other way around.

inland raft
#

Vers is nice just not the god stat people seem to think it is

hoary jackal
#

What’s wrong with being the ‘I care about defense’ and not DPS type of tank? I have my most fun when I have to plan through all my cooldowns. Give me more cooldowns to play with and throw more damage at me, i’m carrying a shield for a reason. And it’s not DPS. I want to feel like playing well meant tanking more and taking more hits and still surviving

strong forum
#

Because in 99%of cases you're overkilling defensives

#

There is such a thing as "too much defense"

#

You already lived, what more can you do?

#

Live harder?

#

Nobody gives a fuck if you required 1 less heal from a healer or not

#

And thats about the extend of value it would have

hoary jackal
#

Then blizz didn’t throw enough things at us that need defensive. Don’t just give me 1 mechanic. Give me 3 to deal with

strong forum
#

Well, but that's not on you to gear for 3 things, when only 1 exists

#

Ykno

#

Kinda wasted

#

You do what you enjoy, nobody stops you from doing so

#

But it's just not optimal

hoary jackal
#

True dat. I like mythic council of blood on my DK because I actually have to think through every cooldown and when to use it.

strong forum
#

Eh

#

If you swap on 2 it's pretty much a non factor

#

But thats bdk, you die if you don't chain CDs

#

Can't tank without a CD up for prolonged times, that's how the class is designed

hoary jackal
#

Not tanked P3 on warrior. But you can’t swap on 2 there 🙂

strong forum
#

P3 on warri you go to 7-8 stacks on nik

If you play it safe you get bopped on 5-6 stacks

And then you Gucci

Kiting the add that's a bitch and a half job tho

2nd during intermission

4th you kite

5th you kite aswell if you're slow on dmg

flint tiger
#

Thats one thing I never quite understood with tank mentality. Why people want it to only being about pure survivabilty, instead of doing as much damage as possible and making sure you can still live has always confused me.

In my mind, the latter always seems much harder than just "yo I know how to use CDs to not have zero HP at X time"

#

Also why I enjoy m+ tanking way more than raid tanking I think.

strong forum
#

Always start max dam, and then crank up defensives as you need it.

#

It's a much much smarter approach

#

Imo

flint tiger
#

Does haste provide more of a damage boost for AoE than like vers though? Part of why I like vers is that it's both DR and increased dmg

strong forum
#

Idk

#

Haven't simmed since raid release

#

Vers is aight offensively

#

But haste scaled really well into aoe in bfa

flint tiger
#

That and like on the 20 keys and high bleed/magic damage is absolutely terrifying lol

strong forum
#

Eh idk

#

Can always play better / plan CDs better

#

If people can do 26s with 20% vers and live

#

I'm sure you can live 20s with 0 vers

#

:)

rancid ember
#

Tbf I didn't play WoW since WoTLK at the time. Tank DPS was a Meh thing back then. It was all about being tanky boy. I didn't know how the game evolved through BFA but I def like this style of tanking alot more.

flint tiger
#

Definitely true, but a lot of the time it's dependent on making sure you DPS properly play. If your dps fuckup kicks, it's RIP lol

strong forum
#

Cuz the only thing existed prior to legion was raid tanking

rancid ember
#

True

strong forum
#

So the benchmark was incredibly low

#

For tanking

flint tiger
#

So the vers increases error margins really lol

#

If vers was pure DR only though, I wouldn't like it much.

strong forum
#

Raiding is a horrible benchmark in general

#

Outside of dps

#

Survival is a given if you don't play like a donkey

flint tiger
#

That I agree

#

It's why raid tanking bores me

strong forum
#

Try raidleading as tank

#

You'll be anything but bored

amber herald
#

raid tanking should feel epic but it's usually a snorefest

doesn't help tank mechanics are usually way simpler than the dps/heal so you're there doing the same thing over and over again waiting for the other 18 monkeys to get it together

Monk is technically above warrior on but there are 3 times more logs for brew than prot warrior. Plus if you look at warriors parsing in the 99th percentile they are actually above brewmaster in dps

It's fine overall tho, we're not clearly stone last any more like earlier in the patch

isn't monk dps dependent on damage taken with the ox thing?

What are thoughts for Necro warrior legendary going into 9.1?

sweet summit

suboptimal in 99% of all cases

I saw something that said it was okay and apparently it can go for over a minute with the right talent set up

sweet summit
#

you, as the banner caster, can get 40-70 seconds of 400 mastery

carmine carbon
#

Which would give more block and increase attack power

sweet summit

it would give more attack power and crit block yeah

you get 100% block from shield block, so that part of mastery is irrelevant :(

How do you play NW this week (range m+17-19)? I normally play: 1st boss with Pride and BL, 2nd with Pride, BL, Spear and Orb (2nd trash wave), 3rd with Pride, BL (if ready) and Spear, 4th with BL (if not ready on 3rd), Spear and 3x hammers (for shields).

Not someone suggest to use hammers on 3rd boss instead for shields?

#

What I see a huge waste of saftey on 4th boss where most of the fight one DPS is not there to damage the shields

fleet river
#

I wouldn't plan on having lust for both the 3rd and 4th boss on nw

#

Seems unlikely.

tame jasper
#

I didn't say that I have it on both

fleet river
#

Oh you're right, reading comprehension is low

tame jasper
#

no prob 🙂

fleet river
#

If you have really solid dps and a soothe you could save everything for the last 2 bosses. At +18 it's still possible to single phase stitchflesh with a few weapons

#

But that's heavily dependent upon your groups dps

#

Probably requires a holy paladin tbh

#

And ashen would be back up for late phase of 4th boss

tame jasper
#

Finding holy paladins in pugs is well 😄

#

but di I understand you correctly

#

that you support he spear+hammer on 3rd?

fleet river
#

Yeah with a pug you'd want to play safer. 2nd and last boss are the pug killers so I'd focus on having lust and a few weapons for those. 1st and 3rd bosses are just matters of "can you execute a simple mechanic while not dying"

tame jasper
#

yeah hooking the boss seems to be impossible for many pugs..

fleet river
#

There's no planning you can do to fix that

These are the "oh man what a time waste run" moments ^^

Also reprisal is perfectly viable for every raid encounter

violet river
#

Hey just levelling my prot warr but wanted to ask what proper reprisal usage looks like, just try to maximize uptime of shield block by getting it from charge on pull, intervene on cd after using first regular charge of shield block?

inland raft
#

If theres an opportunity to charge or intervene take it

#

Can walk out during casts and charge back etc

violet river
#

True

fleet river
#

On low mobility fights you can even use leap to save some time getting out to charge

#

Or if you have to move the boss, leap further than you need to move and charge back when they are at the right position

sick sentinel

not 15's, but i'm happy with that, and i got an upgradeable scale/emitter out of it

#

thoughts on the new Necrolord legendary? If skipping the 50% slow miniboss becomes normal its a really high uptime slow immune. So far I got up to 1:20 uptime on a target dummy. Probably more is possible

inland raft

Outside mdi style things i kinda doubt meta will be skipping in most cases with how impactful the anima powers are

quick epoch
#

I heard that skipping the slow boss will be meta for most dungeons you can

amber herald

the minibosses take a minute+ to kill so it could be worth skipping them

especially if it doesn't hinder you on the last boss

some of them can speed up you

i mean say your cov ability has like 25 seconds left on CD, can you hold it for 5 seconds so you can use it during the avatar window

I dont try to optimize it too much

cause what are the stats on dmg increase

#

30% right?

muted arch
#

uh 20 i think

#

its on par with pally wings

undone verge
#

yeah 20%

#

so with for example, spear of bastion, you do a total of 7 thousand damage without any crits

#

with avatar optimized, you would 8.4k smg, which is a nice increase, but its not worth completely optimizing. I like to use avatar as more of a defensive cooldown because of the rage it generates. It allows me to get a higher uptime than if I tried to optimize its use. Kinda similar to how whenever im a dps, I hold my cooldowns for certain pulls, but it ends up being a dps loss in total, because the uptime of my buffs was lower

muted arch
#

do you guys feel rage starved?

#

to need avatar for defensive rage

#

holding stuff for short periods isnt a dps loss tho

#

max buff uptime =/= max dps, cuz you do more dps on bigger pulls

hollow sun
#

i think that if you play reprisal you will never be ragestarved unless you straight spam revenge

undone verge
#

I dump a lot of rage into revenge

#

spare rage allows you to play for offensive

#

obviously your not gonna use all of your cooldowns on cooldown, hold major ones for pulls you think are gonna need it, but saving cooldowns like avatar which are like 45 seconds at most for your other longer cooldowns is going to add up to a dps loss

#

especially for coolodowns almost 50% longer than it

tame jasper

I would not sign this

but I'm not sure if I understand this correctly

I personally udnerstood it the way that for 5/6 you need the soul cinder on top of it

like you need 1k soul ash for rank 1 but 4k more if you want craft rank 4

#

but as said: I'm not sure

blazing condor
#

rank 4 leggo is 5k soul ash

#

and same, i have no idea how they gonna do it for 9.1

#

but my understanding was that youd still need soul ash for first 4 ranks

#

then cinders for the next ranks

thorn gust
#

From what I saw you don’t need soul ash after rank 4

#

You just need the cinders which is the new currency in Torghast

the question is if you can "skip" the soul-ash ranks

probably not

if only there was some tool to log your combat that would make these comparisons easier and require less than 4 screenshots in a discord

#

whelp, i guess it's too bad that the tool doesn't exist

What is survivors rally?

autolog and upload to warcraftlogs?

Stygian king's barbs is an anima power, i presume?

strong forum
#

Ye

#

Nature's fury is the NF leggo

#

I guess anima powers aren't rng then?

#

And you have a set Set of anima powers per dungeon

amber herald
#

anima powers aren't rng but the location of the bosses might change

#

don't know yet

Just started with prot, first in damage is shield slam Everytime - I catch my self using ignore pain a lot. Should I better use the rage on revenge ? Playing ignore pain heavy is wrong ?
(Using reprisal)

distant crystal
#

just kinda depends on what you care about more that moment

#

reducing incoming dam a bit or increasing outgoing dam a bit

obsidian girder
#

Okay. So I can say I am a very conservative tank 😋

#

Thanks for feedback, will try to pump more on revenge

median tulip
#

Ultimately, if you time the key you're not doing anything too wrong

obsidian girder
#

Sitting at ilvl 200 - with a similar group - was +10 sanguine +3. Seems fine then

median tulip
#

Yeah, if you're doing that well then I wouldn't worry about it

fleet river
#

Sometimes you have too much rage to spend on just revenge and shield block

#

First 20 seconds or with all cooldowns up for example

muted arch
#

Which leggo would you guys get first for raid

fleet river
#

Avatar, ravager, bv demo shout, reprisal charge/intervene, covenant ability. They all generate rage

fleet river
jagged pier
#

no

#

repirsal is better in raid

muted arch
#

how do you use reprisal in raid? charge into every taunt swap and intervene your cotank?

strong forum
#

Can intervene whatever target.

mental scarab
#

like co tank

#

and give some DR to him yep

dull zodiac
#

haste versa 220 helm vs crit mastery 226 helm

#

thoughts

#

more crit than mastery

jagged pier
#

its an ilvl increase on a high budget item

#

the 226 is better

dull zodiac

https://www.wowhead.com/npc=162309/kultharok#comments i'm slightly confused by the range check ability, which is jarring with the tornadoe affix

#

so, it's melee or a cast? and whats the minimum range i have to be from boss then, says i took 47k damage from spectral reach

lament raven
#

It's a cast, can be intereupted

sick sentinel
#

hmm, okay, i got to that boss and we tried 3 times, dps just got completely deleted like random it seemed

#

they were saying "don't run parasite through group"

lament raven
#

Parasite is different to spectral reach, parasite puts a circle around your character that does damage to anyone in it I believe, can't be interrupted and shouldn't be ran through them

strong forum
#

It's just a dot that ticks, has to be outhealed

#

Tank just stays close to him

#

Aaaand yeah.

#

That's all you do

#

Spectral reach you shouldn't get ever

#

Since you can't reflect it

sick sentinel
#

right, so what do i set my range to for range check tool

strong forum
#

Just don't get out of melee range

#

If you can't melee him, neither can he

lament raven
#

Or if you do get out of melee, charge in and interrupt his cast

#

Or you can be out of melee range when he does his channel (where he rips the sound from the dps' body's) and he won't cast it, so you can use charge there for reprisal/rage generation

evening.

#

theres nothing in 9.1 that seems like it would replace the reprisal lego, right?

jagged pier
#

nope

sick sentinel
#

should we consider items without versatility when they are higher itemlevel then the ones that do (but not by more than 10)

median tulip
#

Generally speaking, iLvl > All

radiant igloo
#

I have looked through resources but was not able to find an answer. If I use Kleia as prot, which final node do I take - the crit or the healing one?

#

also would the crit trait convert to parry or is that only rating rather than percentage?

distant crystal
#

only rating

#

idk what prots usually take on kleia though, prob healing?

sweet summit
#

Usually the crit

muted arch
#

best cov for early raid prog in 9.1?

sweet summit
#

prob still kyrian>=nf

muted arch
#

is NF more dmg?

amber herald
#

yeah

quick epoch
#

why not necro with new leggo? can have 1.2 min uptime on banner giving 3 party members that mastery buff

torn gulch
#

because that will require you to be a support character and you will need a lot of coordination

quick epoch
#

not that much. And if you're trying to max raid dps and it's more dps

#

I got that uptime fooling around on dummies, it might even be more

sweet summit
#

40-70 sec ish

#

it only extends on the warrior

#

it requires great coordination and positioning

quick epoch
#

really?

sweet summit
#

yes

quick epoch
#

only extends on the warrior? if so thats not as good

sweet summit
#

that is so, unless they changed it with the latest build
