nobody is pushing

#

the ITF + HR stuff is literally just people being ultra lazy

#

its the max turtle build

#

which results in a rage, dps and threat gen loss

pastel sleet
#

so people just turtling while healers arent geared?

strong forum
#

no, its just people trying to copy andybrew

#

without understanding why he played it

#

they see the increase in blockuptime and nothing else

#

HR is good on tyrannical weeks on bosses where you cant charge often

#

and for when you want to be lazy, nothing else

#

well, plkas reasoning for running HR was "so you can focus more on other stuff in keys" because you need to think less when playing it

pastel sleet
#

im not ashamed. i like thinking less...

elfin surge
#

i dunno turtle build is fine for protecting against a shitty disc priest and specific affixes we need to be wary for grievous / necrotic but then i am a noob

strong forum

i dont like the argument "in case of a shit healer"

if your healer is shit you wont be doing high keys

now you just need to use SS and TC more often

and a bit less ignore pain

@strong forum Where do I see the total blocked numbers?

okay

What's SS and TC?

#

I don't know the abbreviations

strong forum
#

Shield Slam and Thunderclap

#

you did alright in raiding with using them

woven bear
#

ok

strong forum
#

but in m+ you slacked

#

which results in less rage generated

#

which also then results in less damage done and less survivability

woven bear
#

okay I'll check

You guys tried logging M+ with the addon they made?

hit a wall last night because our DPS group is a radical collection of underachievers

you can 1 button macro all those specs and parse better

brave jetty

it gets a little better by bracket but still like half are gray

mighty valley
#

what fight? and what's the problem?

#

is it uptime or like... do they just not know what they're doing

brave jetty
#

H Soulrender

#

I think the group finds the mechanics persistently demanding enough that it's just fucking them up + our brands aren't always optimized

#

But mechanically the group is very good and comfortable at this point with every element of the fight

#

The callouts are flawless, there's always maximum cleave

torpid fiber
#

how do we feel about glory legendary for m+?

brave jetty
#

We don't have a DK which hurts a fair bit but we have enough other knockbacks we're able to address the adds just fine

modern brook
#

Just play reprisal

#

But it's there

brave jetty
#

reprisal is actually just too sick in M+, i don't see myself ever giving it up

low beacon
#

how do you people stay alive in m+, Im dps main tanking because noone else wants, have like 85% shield block uptime in the dungeon but i feel like im dieing every pull

#

Halls, DoS anything with casters just depletes my hp bar

true olive
#

Are peeps kicking?

low beacon
#

cant kick with inspired

blazing condor
#

Well

#

Cc the inspired

fierce field
#

CC the inspired and pull away frm them

blazing condor
#

Or nuke it

fierce field
#

then you can kick

#

or blast it down

#

if you have the DPS

low beacon
#

You cant just CC every inspired you need to pull big to time

blazing condor
#

Nah you can definitely still time@it

true olive
#

Wiping wastes more time

low beacon
#

This week feels so bad on prot warrior

blazing condor
#

In dos thereโ€™s like 4 packs max that need CC

low beacon
#

Both stuns are useless

blazing condor
#

If you cc and nuke its like 1 min loss at max

low beacon
#

people dont use CD's if you CC pulls

#

thats the problem

blazing condor
#

Well then find better people

fierce field
#

you can still pull big and CC the inspire, and use CDs, just takes proper planning

low beacon
#

Dos has a lot of inspired on cc immune adds

#

and we already invis skipped in mechagon + hakkar

#

but the big caster packs in the main area are so rippy

mighty valley
#

you either need to have DPS big enough to blow up the inspired so you can start interrupting shadowcore

#

or CC it and just mop it up later

#

you can just pull in the inspired when the main threat is gone and it doesn't waste that much time

#

but you can't just be eating every shadowcore

#

at least we can reflect one while inspired is up

#

it's literally just those two packs though, it's a pretty easy week for the rest of it

low beacon
#

if warrior still had rage from damage taken

#

if youre not in melee youre just fucked

#

feels so bad lol

#

cant even press IP

mighty valley
#

you shouldn't need to if your dps is doing it right

low beacon
#

Ardenweald was sketchy too

#

I pulled 4 groups and after about 10 seconds i almost got oneshot

mighty valley
#

what key level?

low beacon
#

didn't even have a lot stacks, on my druid that now has 10 ilevel less you can pull like 7 groups and be god for 30 seconds, very balanced

#

16 dos

mighty valley
#

hmm ardenweald was pretty ok for me

#

like yeah, druids live for that shit

low beacon
#

also had no melee, triple caster noone with uncapped aoe

#

so packs didn't die

#

Unlucky I guess

mighty valley
#

probably worse on the interrupts front too

low beacon
#

everyone 24-1minute cd

#

so yea

mighty valley
#

the caster packs need legit interrupt coordination at this gear level

tardy surge
#

Yo a question regarding domination shards. May it be worth to go for Unholy bonus instead of Blood as a necro war since you can stack so much main stat?

low beacon
#

Not sure how much impact prot potency conduits have because I just run with the DPS soulbind, can't just switch 4 conduits everyday with this fantastic system

ionic fern
#

Only the Covenant specific Potency for NF/Kyrian would impact somewhat. The others are w/e.

ionic fern
low beacon
#

I could put the aftershock one into the middle row for niya to have at least one useful for prot i guess

#

instead of second endurance one

ionic fern
#

It won't save you from "feeling like dieing every pull".

low beacon
#

yea but the extra hp from more AA uses could

ionic fern
#

That has to be either:
1)Poor play
2)Poor DPS'ers/Healers

modern brook
#

or the everprevelent 3) everyone is bad at this game

waxen cradle
#

So as far as the pinned trinket info, is that to explain to people how it works as I thought that was obvious already, or to highlight it actually being a pretty good survivability trinket ? or well both

mighty valley
#

People thought the damage reduction was capped since the damage is

#

So kinda both

#

Clarifying how it works, and in doing so pointing out its bonkers defensively

waxen cradle
#

Ah ok yeah did not know that people thought that

#

hoping it does not get the old nerf sledgehammer

#

How are doing torghast, are you running as prot or slipping into a DPS spec?
It's likely slow and steady to do as prot, but maybe i'm too cautious, or that's the nature of it, but it just takes too long to be enjoyable, or achieve better than a 2-3 star run

mighty valley
#

go prot and duo with my wife

#

like, there is no actual choice in the m+ powers

#

theyre all pretty on the nose which ones are good

WoWhead had kind of a more or less pick these in kind of this situation, but after enough dungeons you will know what to pick and why as lets be honest a lot of them just suck

strong forum
#

theyre incredibly boring

again run enough dungeons and you will know the very generic set of powers you will always choose

could anyone explain me why So'leah's Secret Technique sim so bad? isnt it a 82 str and 111 haste stat stick?

sweet summit
#

it sims as +111 haste as default i think, and i dont know the command to change that

#

but stat sticks are generally not that great for tanks, usually damage procs are better

urban quartz
#

Hi all. Bit of a noob question. I'm struggling to keep aggro on pulls in M+. I'm following mostly Pika's pug friendly routes as a Kyrian prot warr. Apart from using challenging shout on CD, does anyone have any tips?

ionic fern
#

Are you running Reprisal with BSC/Ravager/AM?

fading quiver
#

I always throw ravager and tclap at the start, seems to grab them up pretty well most of the time.

ionic fern
#

You shouldn't have threat issues generally if you play the rotation correctly unless the DPS'ers are going full ham before you get to grab aggro.

urban quartz
ionic fern
#

Then the next suspect is your Rage usage.
If you are spamming IP you won't have enough rage for Revenge which is the majority of your AoE damage.

urban quartz
#

Is it worth running Crackling for the increased range of tclap

ionic fern
urban quartz
#

I try to use the opener on IcyVeins, but I suspect I'm not using enough Revenges in turn.

#

I'll keep it in mind. Thanks both

ionic fern
#

The opener is mainly for ST situations on IV.
In AoE you generally:
Ravager->Charge+Avatar->Revenge

#

Revenge should be your primary RAge dump in most situations as long as you have Shield Block covered.

urban quartz
#

Appreciate the tip Mwahi.

ionic fern
#

Do you have a damage brake down of your dungeon by any chance?

urban quartz
#

Not at my PC currently. But I assume Revenge should be pretty high?

ionic fern
#

Yes.

fading quiver
#

usually #1

urban quartz
#

Awesome!

#

Maybe it's just my mind set. First proper tier tanking and maybe it's just my mind I should just be using defensives so should save to do so

waxen cradle
#

the only time on AoE especially I am not going full mongo padlord with spamming Revenge is when I am saving enough rage to keep SB up, but with Reprisal helping me out with that from my intervenes and charges I am spamming Revenge A LOT ๐Ÿ˜›

mighty valley
#

IP just doesn't reduce that much damage for the rage cost, it's mostly just for excess rage that you'd otherwise waste

#

Or the worst situations where you need literally everything you can get to survive

urban quartz
#

Need to spam more Revenge then I think!

waxen cradle
#

@urban quartz Also do not fall into the trap of forgetting we are preemptive tanks in terms of damage taken, do not try and react to damage taken, learn to and get used to predicting what is about to happen and reacting accordingly, well seeing what is gonna happen so to speak

urban quartz
#

Will do.

waxen cradle
#

@urban quartz By doing so you can see when using certain abilities is more necessary and when your clear Revenge spam to your hearts content, one thing that I find a lot of people do wrong as a Warrior tank is say for example casting SBlock when you do not need to such as on large packs of casters, or not using SBlock when they should as the other side of that situation such as when they might waste rage on IPain. I know this post is a bit off the main question you asked, but knowing when to use what helps you to be able to spend that rage on more damaging ability casts.

urban quartz
#

You've given me plenty of information to get me started. I appreciate that.

waxen cradle
#

Its all a balance of when you should use what and knowing when X ability or Y ability should be of higher priority than each other and why

urban quartz
#

DoS pack with the purple guy that knocks you off is mostly/is all casters right? , so why would I SBlock for example

mighty valley
#

There's definitely enough melee in those packs to justify SB

#

Honestly, with Reprisal allowing you huge uptime, there are very very few packs in M+ where SB isn't worth it

urban quartz
#

True

waxen cradle
#

No there are absolutely melee mobs in that pack, but if your only spamming IP there for example trying to survive the damage your going to die, but also if your just using SBlock and not going into that pack with a CD or so and preparing for the damage that is coming your also gonna die

#

As well as you should yourself try and interrupt and so should the dps as well, but trust me when I say in pugs dps will commonly not interrupt because there mongoloid personas will tell them "but my pretty dps numbers will be lower" which can and will in turn screw you

#

So to solve that issue run with people you know and trust and you dont have to deal with mongo dps

urban quartz
#

Always a better way. Pugging is hell. Luckily most of my guild members like doing M+

waxen cradle
#

As I said learn what should be used when, and plan for the damage before it happens, a lot of people talk about SBlock flat uptime as the end all be all of Warrior tanks, but truthfully its by and far way more about effective uptime, meaning making sure your getting as many actual blocked hits as possible. That is not to say that keeping SBlock up period is not ABSOLUTELY important during blockable attacks because it just is, but I am highlighting the value of making sure your blocking what can be blocked and not wasting casts of SBlock casts on things you can't block in the first place. Either way man keep plugging away, you seem to have the desire to play better and be the best player you can be so that is the right attitude, good luck man

urban quartz

grave crane
#

so sinful surge extends the duration of Last stand, but if talented into bolster it doesnt give SB as long as you can extend last stand. which i would assume it should?

elfin nova
#

No

#

It doesn't

#

You also don't get the rage gen from the conduit

grave crane
#

but the tooltip says for the duration, and if i can extend it then it should give me SB for the full duration logically and yeah i just tested that out too which sucks

elfin nova
#

You can easily argue it should work. But yeah sadly it does not

grave crane
#

well thats annoying, ill submit a bug and hope they see it lol

elfin nova
#

Personally I doubt it will get fixed, i imagine it was bug reported when it didn't work on ptr

sick sentinel
#

do prot warriors still gain 2 rage per hit and 3 rage per hit taken w/ a 1 sec ICD?

modern brook

#

So if i want to do M+ i have to be kyrian?

No

sick sentinel
#

Whatโ€™s max haste we run

#

Is 35% too much with the talent included

mighty valley
#

nO

#

It's fine

sick sentinel
#

So more less?

#

Just perfect

mighty valley
#

I don't think diminishing returns will matter til near the end of this tier

sick sentinel
#

So I can go necro then? is there a big difference defensively?

obtuse monolith
#

Phial is more convenient to use than Fleshcraft, or to save for big incoming damage.
Spear better damage than banner, plus add CC

#

But play what you like, I still enjoy M+ as Venth, which is worse for DPS and Tanking

sick sentinel
#

Okay thank you!

mighty valley
#

The actual, real downside of going anything other than kyrian or NF is pugs might be judgmental and not pick you

#

In terms of performance you can do whatever

broken olive

Prot definitely has the best argument for necro though too

cinder nova
#

Why does it feel like I'm getting absolutely destroyed by Fatescribe

sick sentinel
#

guys I have a question - I did not know where else to ask this, but hoping for an unbiased answer...

#

I am trying to decide between taking my prot warrior or brewmaster for SoD, not sure which one to take (they're both within 1-2 ilvls of each other) and the co-tank is a vengeance

#

raid comp is like 70% casters/magic dmg dealers and 30% melee/physical dmg dealers roughly

#

and I am equally comfortable with either

cinder nova
#

Are you doing CE?

sick sentinel
#

CE is?

stoic igloo
#

Cutting Edge

#

killing the last boss of the raid on mythic before the next tier begins usually

sick sentinel
#

eventually aiming for that, yes

mighty valley
#

Wasn't gonna bother doing Timewalking, got roped into it, and got Aegis

sick sentinel
#

honestly, the main reason for my confusion is the buffs that both bring like idk if mystic touch will be better for our raid comp than battle shout, and the other factor is the tank dps - like although the group isn't short on dps or anything, so idk if that would even matter...but my brewmaster sims at about 4.5k patchwerk, while warrior is simming at 3.6k

#

in my understanding, tank dps won't really matter since group dps is good enough to get us past things

mighty valley
#

personal dps isn't nothing but it's a small part of the overall raid damage, not the biggest deal if you're not pushing for top 100

#

also it's a much bigger deal to figure out if you're getting more out of warrior utility vs. monk utility

#

if you have no other warriors at all, battle shout + rally might outdo monk

frank hemlock
#

Mystic Touch should be more DPS than shout every time i imagine

#

Tho warriors bring Rallying

#

It really depends on your comp if you have other warriors/monks

#

And honestly it shouldnt be much different tbh

#

This raid is heavy on magic damage and its pretty bad on warriors

#

i believe on Eye there isnt a single blockable thing for example

sick sentinel
#

Hmmm, then I guess the brewmaster might be a better pick

frank hemlock
#

Brew doesnt deal with magic damage all that well too

#

lmao

mighty valley
#

from what i've seen so far, it's not a huge tankbuster raid and rally might be the biggest factor tbh

sick sentinel
#

๐Ÿ˜…

mighty valley
#

just a lot of huge raid damage checks

cinder nova
#

It's that most mechanics that hit massive are not blockable.

#

And they're all tankbusters.

frank hemlock
#

yea

cinder nova
#

Mythic eye feels like dogshit.

frank hemlock
#

Now that you mention it, i think Deathlink is phisical right?

rotund mango
#

Bro play what you like more or are better at. If you need the class utility you can get it somewhere else

cinder nova
#

Yeah lots of physical tank mechanics aren't blockable this tier

#

But they were blockable week 1

frank hemlock
#

I dont get why we cant block or reflect anything on that fight

cinder nova
#

Now they aren't

#

It's kinda shit

frank hemlock
#

Its beyond me

#

I was getting so pissed on our mythic prog on it

#

i think the literal only thing you can reflect is little eyes casts

cinder nova
#

Yes.

#

I'm seriously hoping it's spaghetti code

frank hemlock
#

i hope so

#

it feels really bad to have block being literally useless

#

and sr close to useless

sick sentinel
#

I keep thinking about stagger, dampen harm and celestial brew, feel like that might better than warrior defensives

#

But honestly I am not so sure

frank hemlock
#

Warrior is pretty tanky

#

And honestly tankyness doesnt reallly matter all that much

sick sentinel
#

I feel like last stand and rallying cry with ignore pain is also pretty useful in many situations

frank hemlock
#

Any class can survive mythic prog

sick sentinel
#

Hmmm

frank hemlock
#

It really comes down to raid buffs imo

#

If you dont have any warriors, it should be a better pick

#

Same goes for monk

#

If you have both, it shouldnt really matter

sick sentinel
#

Got it

frank hemlock
#

If you really want to bring a bit more, Cry should help on progression on a few bosses

#

Its real good on Painsmith, with big damage spikes

#

But not so much on fights like guardian with constant damage

#

But its still doable w/o it

sick sentinel
#

I think itโ€™s coming down to a coin toss for me

mighty valley
#

Have you played both a bunch?

sick sentinel
#

Yes

#

But I think Iโ€™d say Iโ€™ve played prot more than brew

#

And this might be irrelevant, but I think Iโ€™m luckier with gear on my prot than on my brew! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Guys. I have seen a good mix of the wall and reprisal in mythic sod. What u recommend to upgrade first?
Cuz some boss abilities hit really hard and I think more shield wall is huge there. And cuz of some long tanking downtimeโ€™s reprisal seems a bit useless sometimes

#

We killed the eye mythic on Thursday and the magic dot in intermission is ticking really hard and I needed shield wall as often as I could get it to survive this

brave jetty
#

is there anything in Tazavesh we're super interested in? So'leah's?

jagged pier
#

u should be useing the wall on the eye its a fight to fight basis

#

but reprisal is better on more fights

#

where the wall is better on the eye and maybe/probably sylvannas

deft vessel
#

I still haven't quite figured out what to use where as far as legendaries go

#

Using reprisal everywhere in dungeons, torghast and open world shit, the wall entirely in raid, cus raid is still new to me

Note that I didn't really play much since 9.0.5, so reprisal is new to me still lol

In my experience with it, it rarely drops off esacially if you keep an eye on it (and your healers mana).
It is solid, i played around with occular gland and prefer warriors soul, because it has no downside (sub50% hp) and is most of the time more stats gained.
10/10 would reccomend and play

if your running the wall u use bolster in dungeons and AM on some raid fights

Shield Smashers - what would be best on this you think? ilvl obviously the ring, but a trinket and weapon...

mellow bridge
#

why would you pick a 226 weapon if you can just go and do m+ and get a way better one

#

that would only be a very short term gain

torpid zephyr
#

6/8 of the dungeons drop a weapon so unless you raid log only that ring is way better

spark mortar
#

The real split was the trinket vs the ring.

spark mortar
mellow bridge
#

then dont mention the weapon :p

#

well the trinket is useless in raid pretty much

#

but apparently really good in M+

#

however you can easily get a higher ilvl one if you do at least HC raiding

#

the ring on the other hand is useful everywhere

#

it obviously depends on what you have available as well as what content you do

idk why but even if i go a dps covenant i literally cannot parse on this class anymore

i had full purple/orange for every fight on mythic in legion but in this expansion i just cannot dps

That's because late legion warr was busted

i got a 90 second long banner uptime on a target dummy though so that was fun

i mean late legion warrior you had to have zoomer reflexes and just spam your fucking keyboard to parse

If you're doing keys where you are not punished by the lack of SB that Reprisal provides then go ham and enjoy Glory.

sick sentinel
#

Damn homie I was just asking peopleโ€™s opinions

ionic fern
#

I understood that and i provided you with the answer with reasoning. ๐Ÿ‘€

placid river
#

@ionic fern Can you shed some light on why mastery is not preferred by many as prot? It seems OP doubling the value of SB. Am I missing something?

ionic fern
#

RNG.

#

Also if you actively chase mastery you are losing other stats including Haste which reduces your overall SB up-time.

placid river
#

I can see that argumetn

ionic fern
#

It's not a bad stat per-se, it's just RNG and tanks usually want consistency in their survivability.

placid river
#

I'm at 22% haste/29% Mastery/17% Vers (Into the fray 0 stacks).

#

Yeah I can see that, but I'd think that would mostly apply to big tankbusters. Say you are pulling packs of 8 mobs, none are tankbusters per say, but the overall reduction then might be nice.

ionic fern
#

Jeah, sure - but now you're tailoring the situation for mastery artificially increasing its value.. It could be done pretty much for any stat.

#

In raids you could probably get away with going more mastery/vers heavy due to having 2 tanks for example.

sick sentinel
#

I guess I should ask instead, does glory used correctly add more dps to a m+ than just being kyrian with reprisal?

ionic fern
#

Overall group DPS ? Yes, if your DPS players are not bad.

placid river
#

@ionic fern My context is purely M+, should be noted

ionic fern
#

Jeah, see in m+ you are constantly tanking so going too heavy on mastery would lose you out on haste for example.
Most people feel "comfortable" around 25% haste..so you have to find that sweet spot for yourself.

@sick sentinel i absolutely wouldn't use glory in any dungeon other than SD and HOA. i'm not sure if its better than reprisal in there but i've been experimenting with it and I like it so far.. i need a non grievous week to be more sure

#

(because non blockable dmg is unusually high in there)

chrome falcon
#

@sick sentinel I'm currently experimenting with Glory+HR and it feels... ok?

#

I run with an extremely good ret pala and a priest so I just banner+PI him and he globals everything, good co-ordination seems essential as always

#

But you can get some insane uptime on it, it's a lot of fun

#

Reprisal is probably gonna be better for basically everything, I'm only doing 16/17s so going higher might be rough, but yeah. Feels ok.

prisma bear
#

i prefer bolster cause you can pair it with every banner and with that 50% more rage while last standed conduit you have really explosive openers with ravager and whatnot

chrome falcon
#

Yeah I forgot bolster lets them line up together

#

Feels like your single target damage with Glory is quite a lot better too

#

You have so much uptime on the strength/mastery/rage generation

prisma bear
#

single target is slightly ahead maybe but your overall will be lower for sure compared to reprisal

#

in a dungeon

#

significantly lower, your dps players have to make up for it

chrome falcon
#

Yeah, I guess

#

Probably Glory in some dungeons if you have cracked dps that you co-ordinate with

#

And a healer who knows how to max range you and dodge the buff

prisma bear
#

another problem with glory i find is that the classes i want that really love mastery cooperate very well with classes that hate mastery

#

for instance rets are absolute blasters with their 2 minutes as well and love mastery but havoc hates mastery which is good with ret

#

enhancement also is wonderful for us because windfury gives so much dmg and rage to prot specifically..... but they hate mastery big time

leaden basin
#

no pets in comp ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

sick sentinel
#

What trinkets are you guys even using

strong forum
#

i was using decanter/phial/meathook

chrome falcon
#

I'm literally still using 226 scale+splintered heart

#

๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ”ซ

strong forum
#

cringe

chrome falcon
#

Give me anything else and I'll use it

strong forum
#

why would you run glory in m+

sick sentinel
#

I'm using scale plus the new cheat death

chrome falcon
#

Testing it

#

Everyone in here says it's absolutely dogshit garbage and that normally means it's ok

strong forum
#

you dont have reprisal

#

so you lose a fuckton of block uptime

#

HR alone isnt good

chrome falcon
#

Sure but I'm not failing a 16 either way

strong forum
#

Bolster is better in that case

chrome falcon
#

So I'm testing it

strong forum
#

no but its still greensloth

chrome falcon
#

Gonna try Bolster next

sick sentinel
#

You should really play reprisal once you get the hang of it it is an extremely fun legendary

strong forum
#

cant uppload my logs i CBA

#

theyre corrupted for some reason

chrome falcon
#

I have played Reprisal, I only made Glory yesterday

#

And yeah, it kicks ass

#

But having a 90 second long banner also kicks ass

sick sentinel
#

Thunderlord is also a good option

#

I personally quite enjoy it

strong forum
brave jetty
#

I love thunderlord, miss it

chrome falcon
#

I wish I could wear thunderlord

strong forum
#

thats my dmg breakdown Twin

brave jetty
#

but reprisal just kinda makes it pointless

#

plus i find reprisal gameplay really fun

chrome falcon
#

yeah

#

also demo shout on the GCD just... makes spamming it feel so bad

sick sentinel
#

Yeah it's the spear of Bastion that's making the difference

strong forum
#

? you venthyr or what

sick sentinel
strong forum
#

cringe

#

and bluepilled

#

but yeah, venthyr makes you lose alot of dps in m+

#

and with week 57 kyrian stonks are ๐Ÿ“ˆ

chrome falcon
#

i will defend banner but i gotta admit spear of bastion fuckin CRANKS

strong forum
#

i feel like they made it hit harder this patch

#

idk why

#

i feel like it does alot more dmg than it did in 9.0.5

chrome falcon
#

Do you need to last hit an enemy for War Machine to proc?

strong forum
#

no

#

just need to be in combat with the mob

chrome falcon
#

hm interesting

#

doesn't matter either way because if i ever have to actually press devastate again i'm deleting my character but

ionic fern
#

o.o

strong forum
#

understandable

brave jetty
#

yeah i'm never not going to have devastator

#

i aint tryin to make room on my bars again

#

that's prime real estate

chrome falcon
#

i still have the passive icon for devastator on 1

strong forum
#

mine is still on 2

chrome falcon
#

exactly

#

my bars would look way too weird without that icon

#

its been there for like 7 expansions

#

wow yeah 7 expansions actually jesus

brave jetty
#

oh wait

#

i just realized i still have the passive icon there too

#

lmao

chrome falcon
#

SEE

brave jetty
#

i'm definitely not interested in not having devastator ever again though

#

wish they'd make it baseline

chrome falcon
#

Yeah

brave jetty
#

that said, i'm quite pleased with our spec these days

chrome falcon
#

yeah i think we're probably one of the best specs in terms of covenant balance

#

maybe even THE best

#

just sucks that over the last ~3-4 years we've had so many cool and fun things and most of them got moved to awkward talent rows or straight up removed, but core gameplay is really quite good

brave jetty
#

i think tank balance across the game is possibly as good as it's ever been

chrome falcon
#

yep

#

we're all just utility bots with slight differences in survivability and tankiness it's great

sly lintel
#

so what is more prio Shield block or IP and when do I spam Revenge , having diffucult making the call when you use it and not

strong forum
#

SB in like 99% of situations

sly lintel
#

And do I use more IP over Revenge?

strong forum
#

Depends entirely on the situation

sly lintel
#

I'm currently 198 ilvl so im getting rekt

strong forum
#

Ye that would do it

sly lintel
#

so focus more on IP

strong forum
#

But spamming IP isn't gonna make you big time tanky

#

Gotta find a healthy balance

sly lintel
#

I'v been doing this
Bs-> Revenge-> IP when rage up

strong forum
#

I only use IP to avoid rage capping and when I know stuff will hurt/does unblockable dmg here and there

#

But with 198 ilvl everything hurts

sly lintel
#

yea

#

got him up this morning ๐Ÿ˜„

#

rocking full blues almost

#

maybe I shouldn't do like 7-8 keys

#

since they legit destroy me

strong forum
#

You can buy full 200 ilvl from AH

sly lintel
#

yea idk if I wanna fork out gold atm

turbid cargo
#

dat haste ๐Ÿค˜

strong forum
#

Enchant your rings

#

And socket it

sly lintel
#

yes!

strong forum
#

Also should've crafted reprisal on legs

sly lintel
#

yea I'll do that later just threw something on to get going

strong forum
#

Unless you're not gonna upgrade those 190s

sly lintel
#

I'm mostly only gonna do keys on this toon so idk if domination socket matter taht much then

strong forum
#

Dom sockets aren't on reprisal slots anyway

sly lintel
#

ah

#

I just need more gear to not be one shot in other wrods :kekl

strong forum
#

I mean with 200 you should be fine in 7-10s I feel like

#

It's moreso the quality of player that is in those keys is what's hurting the most

#

Not your lack of ilvl

sly lintel
#

well i know im shit ๐Ÿ˜„

#

warlock in key told me to spam IP instead of Bs peepostudy

mighty valley
#

what is BS

sly lintel
#

SB*

mighty valley
#

ah

#

well, don't listen to warlock in keys

#

general rule

fringe marten

mighty valley
#

fringe marten
