idk what i feel about the new m+ rating system though
i get it
but its still weird
I mean it showed me ppl dont do tyran keys because mine shot up because i had a lot of highish tyran keys
yeah same
it makes sense that the "best" player in m+ shouldnt be that just because they did keys one week
why tho
because fortified m+ and tyrannical m+ is quite different
so i get that it makes sense to judge someone based on both those affixes
but im not sure my stance on it entirely

Rather than make a rating system that forces players to interface with Tyrannical they should've made it less dogshit and maybe players wouldn't be averse.
they did nerf it at least 
They should get rid of thoughs affixes completely
too bad that SL bosses are pretty tough to begin with
Like adding them to all keys ruined low mythic plus for the casual player base
I think people will warm up some to Tyrannical this season, though, since it wont feel like a death sentence if you wipe and lose Pride.
And removing the rewards
Not really.
Becauase players werent jumping into them for quick AP or leggo chance
Bosses on Tyrannical were tuned up to account for Pride.
some of them ^
7-9s were harder than 10s-13s dont @ me
tbh the hardest keys I've ever done were 13-16s
I legit was just bullshitting and cruising through 21s with my team.
Pugging a 15 felt like hell
and yeh, you wont have pride, but you can have up to 4 anima powers that are arguably much better than pride
^
true
You're going to be using those powers for the entire run.
I mean, if that's the mindset then just rig electrodes to potatoes so you can control the game by grabbing them to complete the circuit.
That way you can be a potato controlling potato play with potatoes.
thats smart actually ive been using carrots
imagine using carrots in potato meta 


where is wokege
who isn't
Cuz imagine thinking things through
The best thing about his patch is
Ptr was up forever
And they decided to throw in the most changes
Between 9.1 launch and heroic week
Literally squeezing in tons of changes last minute
Cuz there was clearly not enough time
cuz covid
Well true, but they also just added play time have fun sitting for achance to get a mount for 1r hrs

My companies metrics have gone up because ppl are wasting less time commuting etc so thats not a valid excuse tbh
so many new mounts this patch

wonder how they spent their time
8 month vacation? oh boy!
Kek
😄
what dead realm are you on wth
its ok long as activistion ceos get their 200 mill bonuses
they were 800g yesterday
not that that's any good either
but
im on stormreaver

went from Twisting nether to this cosy little realm
imagine not stocking up before the prices increased smh
omg ur so cool erga please mary me
I bought all my consumes when patch was anncouned before theye all went up
Imagine buying runes
Also made a lot of gold by selling the ore from korthia
ive neglected my pickaxe all expansion
Nah mission table have like 200
I've neglected wow all expansion
🤣
never got that one
got the qraji thing
the blue bug thing?
yea
nice
Give my own survivability back
Bdk is top
🤔
Alphabetical rankings yo
dk tier dk tier dk tier dk tier dk tier dk tier dk tier dk tier
Now that's a name I haven't seen in a while
Hes been busy with tanknotes, i hope 👀
I stopped reading when it had monks in A lol
he hasnt even updated sire spell reflects...
And paladins A
I know 
Everything is A, i mean everything should be C cause all tanks suck, but if we are all the same i dont think it matters tbf
That's a tierlist I can get behind
I for once want a decent balance. Like no matter if u go for world first or last all tanks can do it.
We all balanced now there cant be a meta pick
Paladin is solid
I'm giving an example
@ionic fern prot warrior is on the last spot on the wowhead A-tier list, does that mean warrior is trash?
Also venthyr paladin... When divine toll goes BRRRRRRR
What's the ilvl needed for new raid
I would like the answer as well
@jagged pier since warrior is last what tank to i play thanks
not warrior
ok thank yuo
yw i am theory craft
I have no Lego and I felt I was getting rkt in top m0
then there's stuff you couldve done better play-style wise most probably
hard to tell without logs
I chat more when I get to work
So can you run hard mode for loot of the new dungeon at reset? I know have to clear it once to get the credentials, does hm share lockout with m0?
i assume it does
you dont actually have to clear the dungeon
you just have to kill first boss and clear a bit ahead
afterwards you can go out, reset, enable HM and get loot from all bosses except the first one
resetting it will require a char with a fresh id i think tho
You're locked out of loot if you do normal mode
Cant wait until new dungeon becomes m+ so you can upgrade all the haste vers gear

Gotta wait bit more than half a year for that
So not really much reason to do the new dungeon before raid if cant do hm til next week 
but you can
you just cant loot the first boss
hm is first week now?
week 2 of 9.1 is both HM and dungeon ye
oh awesome I remember it not being that way for some reason
real talk
i hate how ruined Heroic Leap is in Korthia
when we've had sandbox mode the entire expansion
Hey, what enchant to use an engineering on belt now since they nerfed card board
invis/knockback
Right, thanks
Charge,SS,TC,SB,IP and go from there
Warrior bis tank
Wowhead tank tier list 📉
VDH really the only outlier that it does no dam and worse than others when it comes to survivability
But All a tier pepega

I hope there is a achievement when you get all 8 :D; also, do we keep the dungeon teleports patch to patch?
no idea, hopefully we do
that would be great
Ill never have to fly to SoA or NW again (especially good since im NF)
PF more like.... already there
ha
I can play this expansion like I did the best expansion ever, WoD
sit in my Cov hall all day
Not sure if it was asked already, but is there any particularly powerful loot to look out for in Tazavesh?
It looks like fun content though
really enjoyed doing hardmode mechagon when it came out, even if the loot was meh (except that mechagon beam of death.... so much damage :D)
wdym
mount
and uhh
i think the head was relevant for one patch
and the red cards were cool too
There were a couple of broken items; those bracers for fire mages, the Cyctronic Blast (sp)
ya not counting nonhardmode items
i like the concept of those items tho
that was cool
They also became my favorite M+ dungeons
Junkyard <3, I always get the first shockbot... its mine
junkyard was only fun cos it was easy change my mind
I liked that it was open
and of course the bots; plus lots of big pulls you could do
and obviously it was a free dungeon for time.... but thats besides the point
fair enough
but now we have pirate dragon 😄
I'm swapping from vdh to prot for this tier, if I'm doing both m+ and raid is reprisal a bad first lego
Reprisal is the only leggo
So don't craft the wall
reprisal does the same thing indirectly, so its just straight up better than the wall in almost all cases
Thank you
Reprisal is de way
and then seismic reverb for the memes
I would only recommend The Wall for players who are VERY opposed to Reprisal
I was just checking cause can't u get shield wall down to almost 1 - 1.5 min cd
Hello! Do you guys know if we can still range the severing slice from the gargoyle in Sanguine with leap? I tried yesterday and it just casted it again. Thanks!
at the cost of shield block uptime if using the wall
no, you gotta eat it
Thank you for the info! 🙂
I would just rotate Last Stand, SW, and any externals your healer can give you
it wasnt too bad;
I usually Kyriab potion it
Also, pro tip, pull that gargoyle after the 1st boss with all those casters in the room before; your dps are all pressing CDs there and wont have anything after
Now that it only target the tank it’s actually a good idea
This expansion I have learned a very important lesson; it can be more dangerous to split up pulls then to just pull it all cause of how strong DPS CDs are
Guys are you all rockin kyrian atm? Im a NF m+ player thats feeling a bit lonely haha! I know that nf and kyrian are ranked the same but wanna check what you guys play
did a new assault already show up? figured that would be after maintenance
we had nightfae and then venthyr
Oh you re still in maintence, didnt know
it is venthyr for the next hour and 12 mins which is also when maintenance starts
we haven't started maintenance yet
starts in 13 minutes
ends in 6ish
but yeah NA still has venthyr going into the maint
Im NF still; holding off switching till herioc tuning
right now, sims are showing that Kyrian will outdamage NF.... but I really like AA
in b4 prot warrior needs to go nightfae so you have one for DoS/Mists
^ this may also happen
feels weird having to actually check for nightfaes now
hunters, moonkins, mages packed their shit and left ardenweald
I packed my shit outta ardenweald real quick for my mage
though I went Venthyr frost 😄
and boomies will probably stay NF; convoke still good and doesnt punish mistakes as harshly
looks fun but i'm too ash poor to make the leggo rip
i'm maining moonkin, going vampireboi
but...i'll be NF for a couple weeks until the leggo unlocks
still have a chance for tuning to change that
I hate druids... I only like bears
but as soon as a bear turns into a not a bear, i hate them
well if i ever group with you i'll make sure to drop treants when you pressed wall
:D
whats considered good hps in keys?
depends?
21 dos
What ever keeps you alive
not really a metric to really quantify as Prot tbh
better to just look at miss kicks, reflects, and block %
You can be healing 3.5k hps and be constantly dying
Or heal 1.8k hps and be completely ok
idk whats considered good really
log your runs, check your blocked% on melees
same thing, it depends
ohh, even that there's really not a good rule
Ive run dungeons where one healer has to do like 4k HPS and then do the same dungeon and the healer is under 2k hps
if your dps are apes the healer will parse orange
did a 21 DOS now with a healer who did 4k hps and he couldnt keep anyone up
so idk if thats low or not
hes doing his best
what spec healer
but theres something fundamentally going wrong thats causing extra healer stress
hpala
he wasnt the issue we didnt time
but it was more rough than what it usually is in DOS
'
Logs will probably give you the answer; what were the scariest parts?
yeah i didnt log the run
it wasnt necessarily scary for me just felt like it was incredibly slow
masks fucked the team
was your hpal venthyr?
our Hpal is kyrian; Ashen if not used well is a trap
venthyr pug lyfe
7 yeah
7
My pally alt is going kyrian
I mean
Toll goes brrrr
But waiting until 57 for the 40s cd ugh
Kyrian Hpal is very good; its basically a free 5 holy power on a 1 min cd
much more forgiving to use then Ashen
Ashen just gained popularity last tier cause people watched the top teams abuse it, but cant replicate that themselves
But again after last nite I wonder if NF is better
That's the point
so not a disc priest 
ruuude
If you look at my priest parses from BFA
like, almost all of my healing parses were shadow, and all my dps parses were disc

no i think it just means
the closest I ever get to healing is pressing death strike
also healing parses are whatever, it can honestly just be a function of how much your raid takes damage.
Tier lists. 

fast food tier lists are in the s-tier of the tier list tier list
Everyone has a tier list it seema.
I want one too
Also my predictions for SoD is that every tank will clear it without any issues.

My priest alt does more damage as Holy than as Disc
well yeah, holy has to stop healing to dps
disc can almost do max dps for free while healing
thats a hot take
T-that's the joke
They're all ranked A-tier
As they should
Oh,nice.😂
i predict that if you enter as the wrong tank it deletes your account
choose wisely
Pog

@ionic fern can i keep a tier list of #protection contributers?
Only if i'm above F tier.
all you need is a C to pass
Set expectations low so i can't be dissapointed.
So.... uh...
Are we just crossing our fingers that blizz is going to fix this bug with necrolord banner
Because this is weird
Naw, we all swapped away from Necro
but i may go back... unless our rogue decides Venthyr aint cool anymore
mwahi #1 :^)
pog
@modern brook skyhold tier list pls
i'll fly the necrolord banner alone then
you sure?
even after my admissions?
unless the bug makes it target my healers
in which case i'm literally deleting my warrior
it's either funny or infuriating
either way it works
thats how I wished it worked
Give me all the mastery from banner if no one is in range please.
Bom v2
i.e.: some dude yelling "THIS IS THE NEW META" towards the sky with everyone memeing them
honestly banner is a button i wont care about until it a) does damage or b) is off the GCD
having fucked around with it for a month
I don't remember pressing banner while leveling like psh Necro lol
Kyrian and NF go brrrr
I mean
16% strength and 400 mastery is damage
Sorry, 408 mastery, for some reason
yuo're in an abusive relationship with banner dude
get out and seek help
Stats are boring and often go unnoticed.
The coolest thing about banner is..the visual.
Its also just statistically, objectively, less damage than both Kyrian and NF
On aoe, sure
I'm still online @mellow bridge
I'm going give necrolord a shot when I get the legendary but if it's stinky I'll just take the incredibly cool and unique "shockwave that generates rage"
rrdy to see the 3rd thorment not to spawn today.. but lets hope everythings allright this time
guess it's just my server then
our entire guild dcd lmao
blackhand eu
bottom of the wowhead tier list 
those tier lists are hilarious
my friends of blackhand are offline too
you get an A, you get an A, everyone gets an A
they divided their ranks into S, A, B, C etc
then they just copped out and gave half the healers... A+?
if it's better than A, doesn't that make it S?
What is skyhold tier list ?
but when you read between the lines, they pout warrior on the lower braket of it
Did they though
They are all literally at A
Pretty sure it's just alphabetical
^
all tanks are good with the exception of vdh
Yea Blizz, buff us
VDH kinda bad
a tier list of skyhold people
Now thats a hot take; why so?
How would you judge them ?
Coolness
by sex appeal
#of messages sent
we are last in sex appeal

i mean, what nome said
VDH's strength is mostly defined by havoc's strength i feel
It brings no utility compared to other tanks does significantly lower damage than any other tank and havoc is good now so no reason to bring it
if havoc is good, you don't need a VDH
I bet half of everyone here is a vulpera or a panda
Pwar could get A tier just from having better transmogs
B-but it's a tier
@tardy osprey BIG TRUE DUDE
VDH just flops next tier
Tanks are so balanced rn that they're all just utility bots
blue Late 👀
Late is blue for like 2 years
that's an even hotter take

waat is late to the late party

I got u
V-tier gang
i had to be harsher with the grading system this time @strong forum
don't "pal" me, buddy
looks right to me
$report
@modern brook imma fite you you fucking weeb
Just because I don't like anime 

I'll bring you a benchpress tier list
maybe time for me to get anime pfp
😎
wouldnt ff+ be above FF
its like australia
say that to her face and see what happens
consistent F tier
😳
dang bullying nome and he's not even online
this is why your cat is disobedient
he was online until the bullying
why you think he went offline
beta energy
ok fukc u too then 😠
its ok erga
yours is still killing me ngl
i scroll up and see it and laugh again
yours is the most wholesome 🙂

nice
❤️
The fact I'm not in that list makes it more believable
Also can NA get the raid already so I can see the cinematic
how dare you
@oblique garnet ban him
No
do it
do it
I cant ban someone who is returning to #protection after over a year hiatus
That would be rude
not as rude as what he did though
also a weeb
so that's 2 outstanding reasons for ban
exactly
erga is a based weeb he gets a pass
erga is a good boy he tanks my 6-7 am keys if i ping him 
see

based
i am actually a dog irl tho
sus
📮
If this is what gets me banned fromt his server
so be it
no
I speek the truth
I die a martyr
😳
you die a weeb
Did you put me in F tier because im no longer warrior main?
yeah sure
tbh i just put me, erga, and jakey in S tier, them for the fact that they do all the heavy lifting and Me cause its haha funny
then i put nomer in ff+ cause again
haha funny
then i legit just moved everyone in randomly
and put mwahi above f cause he asked
😬
👍
man no one is doing DOS 20s right now - looks like i'll be 1 portal short


R.I.P my warrior 
🇫
Gonna revive it after the tier
traitor...
Dw erga just wait a bit and we can do keys together and i can once again beat you 🙂
yah
yeah just live a 3rd shift life bro
i get the same rush by getting more rio
eat mdma cereal
isn't that in NA land
idk
they shoot you with bullets if you get mdma i heard
Yikes kinda cringe caring about rio
oh thats scary
Its only stings for like a day
getting shot builds character
oddly enough, we dont like getting shots over here though
also lead levels and scar tissue
anyone know how hard tarragrue actually hit in his enrage on the ptr?
like any concrete numbers i mean
Hard enough to oneshot through block
Looking forward to seeing Xeos kite it again
500% enrage I think
Okay dude
Bis list
FF+ means extra cool
final fantasy
Fuckin fantastic+
Tyrannical, Raging, Volcanic, Tormented
did they make it tyrannical on purpose with the doubled week of fortified?
the doubled fortified was just the new rotation starting
we'll get last week minus prideful + tormented in 11 weeks
Ty waat u own
can i be not FF tier plz
No
Fortnite fart+
fucking fegits
U cant say that :/

this is a tier list i can get behind
What covenant is best for Prot, mainly m+ and raiding
Kyrian or nf with kyrian being a bit more favored in general but prot is fine with any
Is necrolord viable? I'm kyrian and hate the way they look but if it's ahead by a lot then whatever
What rewards we get this week same 226 max or is the higher now!?
226
every cov is viable
may have been tabbed there 👀
Thanks @jagged pier thought it was
Necrolord is viable, but ass to play around and currently bugged
☝️
Is she "ded" yet???
Spoiler || She won't die. ||
Need that
cinematic
Also no, servers are going to be offline for another 3+ hrs for NA i think
Bugged how
It doesn't target the players closest to you
Neat
It targets players seemingly at random, based off of GUID.
i pressed the spoiler not knowing what we were talking about lol
Imagine playing necro
rip
Lol rkt
I think we'll get an early maintenance end 🤞
"sHe WaS tHe GoOD gUY aLL aLoNG!""
☝️
11:15a Pacific you heard it here first
She is good. Emo NE don't get her
What if there are 2 sylvanus
😳
sylvani?
Sylvanaii
maybe the real sylvanus was inside us all along
sylvanopodes
Phrasing?
i know what i said
What is the best covenant and raze for tanking m+ and do some pvp?
Kyrian
sylvanas has been locked inside a game of Footmen Frenzy for years
Half of that sentence is true
Yes

😳


sylvanas is a low tier coom change my mind
Guys, what will be your ANima Power choice in Sanctum for Tarragrue ?
knockback power
Raidlead said, not allowed to take it 😄
agreed on coom
wrong tier placement
btw is it worth to do tazavesh?
233 hardmode loot so, depends on your gear
can you get the neck at 233
even w/ nerf it seems like it should beat anything equal ilvl
What is the min ilvl for raid
-13 from drops is probbly expected
the highest you can get

my take is, if youre at the ilvl of what the raid or the m+ drops, youre overgearing it
LFM Normal Sanctum; Link AOTC 240 I level min
soon
So what's m now?210
How's prot in torghast? I've always done them as fury or arms
nice and braindead
how hard do you guys think the megadungeon will be at ilvl 222? Isn't is M0? Will hard mode be tough?
not very, yes, generally hardmode is just "more mecahnics"
I haven't done a megadungeon on launch since karazhan
Hm probably
pugs were very bad at the last couple bosses back then
222 is probably already outgearing it tho
I would think hard mode tazavash would be the first thing anyone @sick sentinel6'ish would want to do. M+ doesn't give upgrades over previous mythic quality until 10+ I believe..and you're only getting small amounts of loot for the time invested.
i mean, everyone should be shooting for a good vault and a tazavesh clear, yeah
Right that's fine; but you go in with a solid group of guildies and you clear a dungeon with a solid amount of loot; so everyone is coming out stronger. M+ is so random with gear.
It's a questline to unlock it?
If u do normal can u get loot in hardmode
unless memory fails me here, hardmode was a mythic level thing only
ie: you couldnt hit the triggers for hardmode unless it was a mythic instance
I mean because if u can only do one or the other then why even bother with normal
Ok so it's like previous stuff; it's not just set it to mythic = HM. You have to trigger the 'hard' increases on bosses? so you have to know how to do it
There's a vid for it
i guess the question is, if you clear it on mythic without activating hard modes, can you do it again to do hard modes for 233 loot?
U have to do some chores
im not sure im understanding the question
No because it'd be the same lockout; if there isn't a seperate 'hard' version of it..then there's no seperate loot tables.
So dungeon has 2 difficulty normal and hardmode
226 normal 233 hm
Nvm found my answer
I can do either or but not both
it's the same lockout
Looks like you have to run at least part of it as normal because you can do hardmode stuff anyway..due to the credentials.
Kill first boss, do the annoying chores get out of dungeon trigger HM
How do I unlock the optional slot on legendary vessel crafting?
you needed a fresh character to get a fresh dungeon on the ptr apparently
but it might have changed
It says I have to so some stuff with the runecarver, but he has nothing for me
Why not do HM like mechagon smh
Does anyone know if they fixed the bug with banner today?
So only ONE person needs the upgraded neck and quest to 'start' the hard dungeon.
Not every individual
but i was venthyr and was looking to switch.... Gross
From what I read everyone
But we will know more when we are live
Since that was during ptr
Stay venthyr then
wowhead saying you need an unsaved character to reset the dungeon on week 1.
when are servers supposed to be up?
sounds like a job for Augustwo
50 minutes @fringe marten
thank you!

it'll still take forever to finish the rep, but now you can buy more sockets when you get it!
problem solved
Well
No
So the good thing about bumping it up
Is it doesnt force you to waste currency to continue to get rep
you cap the currency before you cap the rep
it does
Like you're not really time gated with rep with a cap tbh

As a former guild member once said
"instead of getting fucked for 45min in the ass, you get fucked for 15min in the ass"
Basically
i wish it wasn't a tedious daily login metric
rep or no rep
but we can't always get what we want
Wow, so thankful they upped the amount of knowledge we can hold
now I can have 0/22000
I will say
I'm not a huge fan of open world content
But they did a good job here
Because while I complain I actively do it unlike any form before it
it's better than the maw/venari was... marginally
thats the amount I care about 'open world content'
Definitely not marginally better
It's better than any open world content they've put out in 2 xpacs tbh
Any content, that isn't coupled with dungeons or rated pvp, is not worth my time
get back to me when you've actually capped the rep and tell me that
when the relics all dry up and you're getting 200 rep a day or whatever
r6 is gonna take for fuckin' ever
If you're only getting 200 rep a day lmao
whatever it is the dailies give, sitting around killing rares all day is a fat waste of time
with m+ open
R4 comes with a 20% bump and I'm getting more than 200 rep a day without any quest items
👀
Any t2 chads in chat?
Almost t4
Like you can seriously degen this rep if you want to
I'm halfway to t4 but I got nothing on those limit boys
how far are they actually
Thd is 4.8 into tier 4
damn
I assume he's highest in game unless it's fleks in echo those are the two full on no lifers
Im t2 🙂
It's interesting this tier you can tell exactly what everyone is playing because of archive rep last tier nobody thought you could finish venari in time
i doubt you get T6 before the race is over tho
actually still can't tell which character darkee is playing
all of them
Scott is playing dk
Darkee is playing dk/warrior combo I think
since both his dk and warrior are t4
Damn, they copying me
Does that man sleep?
How is that even possible
I've found that my rep gains totally dry up after you farm for long enough
Earlier today i pulled three purple mobs and got two relic fragments when i looted them
Well, Tome got nerfed. Over-under on Hymnal catching the trashcan?
Tome was already mediocre for us cuz of no mainstat
Lmao
Now it's just dead in the dirt
I didn't say it was.
I dunno even know what tome is
And hymnal isn't anywhere near how strong Tome was for casters

Does it outpace a 226 Shrieker? 🤔
Tome was literally bis even at 210 ilvl over 252 trinkets
🤔
No, hymnal is not better than shriek
If it's not outpacing Mythic trinkets of the same tier what was that hot minute of gorming over it from yesterday?
Or is it just a nice trinket to cop if you're gearing
It's better than every dps trinket that's not shriek, Phial, dreadfire or slg
Really? even 233 DFV?
hello is banner fixed yet
I'm gonna let you figure out what I just said
Why the fuck am I just starting to hear about this 
For ST hymnal isnt good for dungeon though its great
