but shes better
ew
male panda with fish is ideal
we have a winner
female character model kinda cringe
Is there a weak aura that warns me before pulling aggro from the active tank?
the nameplate tells you
"high threat"
and it changes colour when youre about to take aggro
Yeah it says high threat all the fight
Your co-tank is probably either super undergeared or grossly underachieving.
then youre constantly in danger of pulling aggro
yeah my co tank rerolled and is 10ilvl below me
Nah, that's not what'll do it.
I've had people at 220 which is over 20 ilvls away hold aggro fine.
They probably just do absolutely no damage and focus all their energy on survival, which is a bit wasteful, but w/e. If they're not willing to change and your raid doesn't care, yeah - just pull on the reigns.
But that's kinda dookie tbh
i'm sure he manages to fix this soon with gear and practice, but it doesn't help right now
Are the pools on the P3 of H Syl always cleaned up by the tank with wailing arrow? I'm specifically speaking about the pools on the next platform the grp is moving too after razes the current platform.
I legit had to dog my VDH cotank into being a pumper, and he's actually really happy I pushed him, but he struggled with aggro several fights .
No, they don't have to be, but it's a good strat to get ahead of mechanics.
It does require coordination from your healers and tanks during Raze so one of them stays back to dispel right as he lands
That way they can both fuck off before the cast closes and wipes them.
Otherwise you can do the normal routine of gathering up all the existing bane pools and just cluttering them in the corner.
there's absolutely no reason not to
if you're progging it and need to play last platform you really need to clear it
I mean, you don't need to no, but it makes it significantly easier.
Mostly because it minimizes DPS being dumb and walking into shit.
My first kill was a PUG and we didn't even bother, but having done it again doing so, it makes it more manageable.
I had a similar issue with my cotank - he was like 10-15 ilvl lower AND underachieving in dmg (single digit parses consistently)
Yeah that's unacceptable to me.
It took about a two month passive aggressive campaign to change it
Tanks that aren't even making an effort to DPS - and I don't mean sweaty 99th percentile parses - are frustrating to tank with.
Especially when they say "STOP TAUNTING"
I'm not, you just suck, dude.
Tbh I stopped playing around it and just made it known in comms every time something fucked up because of it
if i got a 252 1h and loot a higher 2h than what i got can i trade it or nah
Bosses would regularly be taunt immune because he had to randomly taunt to hold
To his credit something finally clicked in the past couple of weeks and now he's like 40% parsing and there are no more aggro issues
Still garbo but no longer an active problem
Bet you he just ranked up his blood set
100% that's where my money is at
Check his early parses and then his recent parses
It also helps that you have to be sure you're always first up on boss so that you don't have to worry about holding back on pull
See where his blood link damage is at
My VDH cotank does less than me consistently, but he's only like ~500 DPS behind on most fights so it's easy for him to just take aggro so I can go absolutely nuts and forget about the first tank mechanic most of the time (assuming it requires me to leave boss)
how is it that a VDH doesn't do damage
isn't smacking the boss a good portion of your staying alive
anyone here knows if guardian druid can tank obliterate in guardian mythic without bops or is it a must our tank having issues
Both oblits?
You have to have 4 people in it on Mythic
yeah 4 people 3 immune + 1 tank
not sure how guardian works against high physical + magic damage intake he wants the bop always having issues with it
Oh, dunno - I don't think he should be getting flattened, but... ?
well he did thats what i also think
he should be able to tank it without issues at least one stack but
idk warrior can live it with just LS, Wall, and SR
i have no idea so wanted an opinion
Not sure how a bear is getting dunked
Did you ask what CDs he's using?
he just claimed he needed bops i have no idea
Ask him.
@jagged pier
https://gyazo.com/a76ba3102577df3cd0db9634e4e1f536
i did some things

checking logs in a break now checked like 5 random ones no bops on guardian
M SOD?
Gotta pump up your Tarra parse homie
What was your DPS on Guardian? 🤔


5,9k
NF or Kyrian
kyrian 🙂
Hmmm..
guys can bronn Aggro mobs accidentally?
He can social stuff yes
u can just right click him off
wow i learned a new thing this evening
NICE 
So today i learned you can have dinner between the run, time barely matters
what floor did you go afk on?

yer if u stay at the start the timer dont start
I had given up on flawless, stayed for the cinders, got a conduit upgrade
unluck
It is a bit sour. Get item, save for end of patch
tmog > conduits
Tonight gonna run the wall in raid
Taking AM, wondering if Im missing something by not using HR there
Reprisal
You'd always play AM anyway
Lol
Why on earth would you play HR
Or wall, for that matter
well its not unviable so why not try it eventually?
The only boss I could understand HR would be Guardian, but you want AM for the tank combo too so eh
I guess
ye same thought, AM seems better in too many scenarios that the minimum dps I could get from HR seems not worth it
hey guys, I'm an arms warrior helping my guild by tanking some m+15s, only really have dps trinkets though.. OPC/OWS/Howl/IQD/Phial. Does it matter which I do for survivability?
OWS seems like the only one that grants continual benefit through haste
Youll be fine with whichever trinkets you go, OWS/phial is a great combo though since it will do a lot of damage
OWs and phial are bis
phial ows sounds good to delete mobs faster
ok, I'd been using howl alongside OWS since it gives that mircoheal but just feels meh
so what to do when healer says "mana"?
should I stop whatever the f i'm doing and watch as the mythic timer goes by?
its give em 10 seconds or so to drink or waste 1 or 2 minutes wiping when they go oom
if you dont time its not cause they need 10 seconds to drink
healers cant drink until spitefuls are killed or disappear. they are used to drinking right after mobs die so they seem slow this week.
Yeah it's def slower
Is the ravager thr best talent gor m+ as tank?
yes
How come every hunter I do SOA with I have to tell them to dispel weapons? 🤔
Are they all just mentally stunted and can't read?
Do they not care?
They play hunter
Are you talking about the weapons thag get thrown on the ground?
Yes.
They actually hit tanks hard and can cleave on high keys.
I've watched an Hpal get bodied by one in a 21.
Do hunters have a purge for it?
And now you'll hate 90% of the hunters you meet
What do you mean now lmao
ffs blizz gimmie back shield slam purge
kek
Good ol' days when Shield Slam used to dispel a magic effect.
I would take ows and iqd big time. iqd saves keys, try to farm scale though.. scale does both (dmg and surv)
Please do not use iqd it is bad
Just tried my first key with aegis
obviously feels fine
tryna compare it to that of a scale
did a NW so definitely felt good on the bigger pulls
Is Scale dmg anything to write home about? I always thought it was totally negligible
U dont need ither in NW tho
Nah but i just wanted to test it out 
U dont run ither scale or aegis for damage
aegis + ows felt good
what sort of overall dps should we be shooting for in 20+ keys (i understand it will vary between dungeons, just looking for a baseline)
It's like 200 dps if you use it on CD, so it actually does good dmg now..
6-7k
ty
Can obv do more on some keys
yeah, i had a feeling it was based partially on dungeon and group comp to some degree. im sitting 5.7-6.5 was just curious how shitty that was
definitely affected by group, better dps players raises everyone
yeah, can do larger pulls etc etc
it really does vary big based on m+ week and dungeon, youre probably doing fine at those numbers most of the time
Anyone know what’s the most accurate source of anima guys placement
MDT always seem to be wrong for me
Enjoy
Spell reflect + intervene first boss of NW makes your teammates immune to the spit. You can do every one
is this a recent discovery?
huh
ive def intervened before for the safeguard damagereduction but they still took damage
so it only works in combination with SR
that feels like a bug
feel like its one of the tornado frontal from ToS type of thing
where u can only reflect it if youre not targeted?
but its also interveneable?
thats my theory 
one of u test that ty 
yeah u can only reflect
if its not on u
with intervene
why, i dunno
but it is
I mean: it's the same reason you will take the overpower? stack or whatever on terragrue if you intervene cotank at the wrong time. (But they get the stack too I think..it's wonk) But as long as you stay in 10y YOU TAKE that hit, whatever that hit entails..if it has a stacking effect, a dot..whatever..you take that. And since you have SR up..you dink the spell damage.
So I don't think it's a 'bug' it's working mechanically how the abilities work.
link log @patent osprey 👀
If ur targeted byspit, sR doesn't work
This only works specifically with intervene reflect
I know; because the ability has already BEEN cast on you.
So you would have had to pre reflect it.
But you intervene; so NOW you're the new target..so the finishing 'piece' of the cast..the actual damage portion; then tries to apply to the target..you've intervened.
It's like spell reflecting a channel AFTER it channels..it doesn't work.
Is there any tips for increasing my damage in keys? for 18s I am averaging 5.4k give or take I'm running scale at 220 and 239 defense matrix? at 241 ilvl
I'm not saying it's intuitive; but ? It works like the mechanics of those abilities should 'make' it work..but let's be honest Intervene already has some wonky side effects (like both tanks getting a stack of a mechanic, instead of the intervenER) and spell reflect is not a super intuitive ability either...so it's not a shocker that it's taken this long for it to be really be discovered.
The shitty thing is; if it's a full reflect for damage..I bet they patch it. If it just deflects it they might not.
LOL at the start of the clip Plka talking about the Varruth bleed..I'm guessing this week on high keys that dude is a monster. Grievous/half healing/bleed on tank/bleed on charge target? Yikes.
That's not really accurate tho
Because even if the bosses casted it on you
It should still deal the damage to the targets next to you
Because it's an aoe cast
But you just reflect the entire thing which shouldn't really work
It's not an aoe cast.
If it was just reflectable then a dps warrior could do the same when they're targeted by it
But they can't
It only works in combination with intervene which makes it bug out somehow
I only bring you guys the information. its up to the theory crafters to figure it out 🙂
well? it can't be I don't think..maybe it is...but I would THINK the spell is probably coded like this: "begin ability: instant apply 'spawn grubs on X player" Start uninterruptable channel Y ability..locked to player position..finish Y channel..cast ability @ PLAYER (hence why intervene /reflect works)
hey can someone help me what legendary should i make for raid as prot?
Unless I'm being dumb and dps warriors can just reflect it when targeted
But afaik they can't
Yeah
Plka first off; thanks for sharing..obviously most of us didn't know about it. Secondly..were you in prot..with crash ramps socketed up top?
So intervene makes it behave in a way in which it shouldn't
Plka I think because the ability has already been applied to you
that's the only way it makes mechanical sense
Reprisal
on feet?
Legs
@weary hollow youll generally want reprisal for every fight but eye and sylv, on those wall go a bit better
errr i shouldnt of been unles I forgot
When you intervene you become a 'new' target for the finishing 'cast' of the ability...and hence reflect it. I can't htink of any other way it works.
tnx alot guys<3
In that clip you had crash ramps in your empowered mikanikos socket: btw..welcome back to MASTER BLUEMAN GROUP RACE.
Did you leave just for dps progression?
Whelp yup then I had wrong conduits. No flame me ty 😄
omg noob
Not flaming..I was like "OH is he arms ri..no..those are prot talents..WHAT IS GOING ON?"
uh im just trying kyrian for the next 3 weeks. Then ill decide where my heart goes.
But yeah def thanks for sharing
I need to try kyrian so I can make a guide vid 🙂
That's huge especially on tyra where it can just oneshot without a defensive
I'll tell you this; these are the worst weeks to be kyrian...if you run the empowered socket with the 'auto phial' you basically will never have that phial when you need it in keys.
You'll prob have to run the defense side and lose the 6% damage on spear.
Yeah but you had the auto phial side selected..with crash ramps in it..
and yes..I HATE auto phial..but I don't do scary enough keys for me to REALLy worry about losing phial.
yup; you get spear in the bottom/center of the tree. kinda' booty~
But owlmans still bae~ but yeah auto phial is awful..but I run it for the spear damage.
Were you fae before?
yea
I knew you could intervene 1st boss nw and the debuff would go on yourself but had no idea the debuff was reflectable
Does it do damage to the boss?
I was considering going fae for mythic painsmith but; we have 2 or 3 pallys depending on the night.
What's your cotank @fringe marten
we've gone through 2 =\ was another prot war, now a bear.
only guild in the world that had gone 5/10 with 2 prot wars LOL
Because MANLINESS that's why? (it's what we had..we went horde and my old cotank of years decided he wanted to quit this tier and go play FF. we lost the OTHER prot warrior because his girlfriend wanted to go play FF as well(
It's not bad; you have the same benefits of a warrior..2 rally cries/reflect etc but also the same weaknesses.
I haven't had it happen yet..or confirmed it; so he can/does?
I got a weak aura that tells me to dismiss bron if his up when coming up to a skip
is Aegis trinket good?
Guessing you mean the trinket from the nine, definitely yes
what would be a nice trinket setup for pushing m+, aegis+bloodscale or sticking with bloodscale+cheat death, i feel that kaelthas trinket is not that worth anymore
Double on use won't be needed really, it kinda depends on dungeon too. Would recommend pairing scale or aegis depending on pull size with something like reactive defense matrix or just a different dps trinket
Cheat death would definitely not be worth it
if you M+ every day you'd never really want to play a cheat death trinket, but if you play with your friends once a week, not depleting a key is usually still worth
i wonder if you could just macro dismiss bron into invis pot
don't see why not
does the shard of aegis work on dot effects like painsmith weapon, or is it literally just from melees in front you?
/cancelaura "Bron's Call to Action"
do spell id's work in macros?
333961 is the id
all damage
you'd assume not given the wording and the graphic though, yeah
It's works on dots but you have to face him
I wrote a Bron addon which is why I know the id off the top of my head
it warns you at 70 stacks and optionally warns you at 75 too (which is pointless imo but some friends wanted to replicate the Bron Cena addon so I added it in)
heroic leap and non damaging tclaps give you stacks
so you have to take care if you're trying to game bron's entrance a bit while moving from pack to pack in m+
WWYD question. Got a iLvl upgrade! But it’s a 239 Mastery Haste neck from Tarra. Competing against 226 Crit Vers from Remnant or just do a 230 BoE w socket. Feels bad to use 230 but am I right in thinking the Stam from the 239 is not worth it?
No armor on neck obviously
that neck is ok tbh
most people follow this whole haste/vers thing but having very low mastery leads to block feeling a bit shitty sometimes, so having a boatload of mastery on that one item is fine
it's usually ok to sac some ilvl for "better" stats on jewelry, i'd probably go with the 230 one
we'll see you back here next week when you ask about the Kelthuzad neck instead
Exact numbers look like 98 Stam 178M 58H. A 230 is 88 Stam 158/63/socket. So 230 actually gets 1 more point of secondary thanks to free socket
Hope I get KT or Sylv to drop anything. At least I have OWS
I wore the tarr neck and restructured some other bits around it, because you'll end up with the mythic tarra neck anyway
unless you dont do mythic at all of course
preferably you open a sin stained in your vault
the vault of broken dreams, aye
Makes sense. Mastery just feels like our worst stat. Especially w blood link not scaling w it
mastery gets nuts if you have a lot of it
since you aim for 100% block uptime as it is with reprisal
it's not a bad stat but the rng nature of it feels bad
I’m fully ‘more stats = better stats’ jewelry’s just that one wonky exception
there's nothing stopping you switching stuff around per fight though
if the crafted neck is vers, use it for magic heavy fights, otherwise use the 239
Keep in mind the crafted 230 has a socket for free
Which firmly puts it ahead of a hc tarragrue neck that doesn't have one
blood spattered scale better than aegis or old soul?
aegis+ows for m+
raids?
Where would I even start looking when looking at my logs to improve
depends, trying to improve damage done or taken?
Damage take. Here is a log I feel I did pretty solid in only timed I died was on manastorms. Not sure how to tell what I did well or find out where I need to improve though
It’s the failed 19 DoS
Is there a healer that synergises better with prot warrior for pug reasons
is the prot cheatsheet still somewhere? setting up a prot soulbind and don't know which conduits are best for key dam/surv
For what cov
Well, I tried, and with all the input and effort, I parsed 20 percent lower. Time to give up the dream, me thinks.
Has blizzard stated anything on why you can upgrade gear on alts after your main gets KSM anymore?
You cant, its so you would play more content on your alt aswell 🙂
20% lower on what (content), with what (gear/talents/soulbinds) vs what (gear/talents/soulbinds)? 🤔
In DoS when fighting the 2nd pack with the speaker in it is there a reason the smaller mobs keep casting while standing in my AA? Aren’t they suppose to be interrupted by it?
How do I check for damage blocked on Warcraft Logs?
how does a Fort pull compare to a Tyrannical pull?
like is a 15 Fort the same as an 18 Tyrannical? 🤔
Go to dmg taken, set it to melee and then hover your mouse over it. It'll give you a breakdown of % unblocked/blocked
damage taken -> melee bar -> hover over the hits column
If you want the value of how much damg you didn't take due to mitigation I don't know
u get that by hovering over the main par
Okay
https://www.wowhead.com/mythic-damage-calc/de-other-side/15/10
holy shit just checked this, a 15 Fort spell does more dmg than a 18-19 Tyrannical 🤣
thats crazy lol
guess it makes sense why i was able to do easy 17-18 last week, and this week i can barely get out of the first pull in a 16 DOS
i thought people kept saying Fort is easier than Tyrannical, but i feel the complete opposite 🤔
it is easier
it just harder on tanks
dps and healers dont need to care about mechanics in fort week
ah the boss mechanics you mean?
pretty much
but then they have to care about interrupts, or the tank gets one shot 😄
which doesnt rly happen on pugs
but ye Tyrannical is not very forgiving if you wipe on a 4min boss 😄
but packs feel soooooo easy
i just want a weekly affix that does like:
Mobs and bosses gain 0% dmg and health, but the keystone timer is reduced by 30%
or something like that 😄
That’d be awesome!
‘Ok, get ready, I’m pulling the whole room to the boss.”
yea exactly 😄 would be fun as fk
I mean I suppose it’s just a +2
or maybe a hybrid affix, doing like
Bosses and mobs gain 15% dmg and health
You can definitely pull mobs to bosses this week on 15s
Nielsen...we used to have M+ weeks like that..in Legion. /rememberTheOldTimes ..
(Nothing that reduced key timer and added no modifiers, but tyran/fort were not permanent affixes, so there were some weeks with like.. Volcanic/sanguine..and that was it)
I think it was still a 3 affix thing? But I can't remember the ultimate week..but I remember the 'sad wolverine' meme picture with that weeks affixes.
no
Was like Volcanic/sanguine/explosive? I think? basically a nothing week

Right; but I just remember there was one week..and we only got it a couple times; and no one realized how crazy easy of a push week it was until we NEVER got it again.
probably overflowing sanguine or somthing
But also..raider.io didn't really exist then? So No one cared.
OH! Overflowing..that was it
LOL the absolute non affix
healer affix
it sucked for everything but restro druid really
like my h pala was doing 2mil crits
Yeah except everyone..EVERYONE had a resto druid healer.
so we got 2 mil absorb sheild
resto druid was so stupidly common in legion because bears were so OP.
But yeah..ANY week with tyran/fort was dogshit. Didn't even matter what the other 2 affixes were because those 2 sucked so hard... little did we know what the future would be like 😦
And the pure demon week was like..? Fort/Teeming/Bolstering? that was a thing.
As NASTY as M+ is now compared to what it used to be... they realized they couldn't have that combo again.
Oh I remember..because I remember trying to do a spicy Halls of Valor on Fort/Teem/bolstering. That dragon pull that was like the second pack? HOLEE SHEET.
Fort and tyr were level 10 affixes I remember that
With bfa they made them level 2 affixes
yup, but they weren't 'perma' as in..rotating each week.
Yea
No they were not.
Were they 
yer they were
Has my memory just eroded that hard? I thought for sure there were weeks with 3 affixes; and one was NOT fort/tyran ?
I went looking it up too to confirm..and then it said "level 10 fort/tyran would be on each key"
every key over a 10
yes and it alternated per week like now
just in BFA
they added the rotation to all levels
always been on a higher than a 10
since the start
I had it just 'locked' into memory that the perma rotating tyran/fort was added in BFA..and it was only ocassionally in Legion.
i dunno what to say it was always there in legion
just at a higher key lvl
and theres wasnt actually much point in pushing in legion
so not many ppl saw it
🤷
I guess that musta' been what it was...we didn't really 'care' about M+ so we just ran it for the angerboda trinkets and stuff like that.
i did it for fun it was fun in thoughs days
but dungeons were better imo as they werent really designed with m+ in mind
Wow, ok I was wrong..got no problem admitting that..but MAN my memory was just totally skewed on that. I guess we just didn't push that hard..I know we did 10's and higher but I think the addition of fort/tyran made people kinda' not want to, so we didn't do it much.
10 was a jump at the start of legion tbh
For sure; a 10 HoV with 'bad' affixes was seriously brutal.
I know we did some tyran HoV's and other dungeons..but HoV stood out because of the? first boss? on tyrannical that guy was a bastard.
had the dodgable bleed..the lightning dragons etc.
boss gauntlet at the end
The dungeon itself was cool though..but the 'worst' boss wasn't even odin or whatever. It was the..? pair of valkyr ? I think it was.
the wolf was the 'easiest'
Did gear increment from the difficulty of the dungeon? We never saw much reason to bother with M+ other than hunting for alt gear or specific trinkets.
i think there was a cap at 15
i actually cant remeber tbh
i just know i ran a lot of upper kara for DHs
What was in the karazhan split dungeon people wanted..?
OH..ok.
There were a couple trinkets in there? OH and that ring..with the clicky damage effect.
yeah there were a couple cool items in there.
Yeah there was something from the ? second half of the dungeon..can't remember which it was..with the Eye boss on the spaceship.. Something from there people wanted a lot; was a trinket or something?
yer there were a few things but cant remeber anymore
Eye of command
That's what it was..our DH wanted it so bad
was a semi cool tank trinket in there but the best tank trinkets were from the raid/s in Legion.
OH! and Aran's Relaxing Ruby... trinket was so strong they nerfed it I think twice?
🤷
You don't remember the ruby? that much I do remember..all our casters wanted it bad. It was way OP for a little while until it got nerfed.
all the casters i know wanted arcanocrsystal tbh
yeah but aran's ruby was the other one.
for a little while anyway.
Wasn't arcanocrystal BiS for literally everyone?
not us
We were teh only class that was like "oh..that worldboss is up..? meh let's go kill it" everyone else ( meaning dps) wanted it hard.
I got one, and didn't use it.
I got it way late into legion though; was killing that guy just to see if I could get an arcano.
Someone in guild got one ? week 1 or 2..and it was forged up; it was absurd for the time he got it.
week 1/2 of that world boss being up..I don't remember what it was, just know it was a mob that made images of itself.
am i missplaying if i feel i need to use Aegis+Scale to survive Fort week? 🤔
Either you or someone else in your group
Cuz aegis+scale is quite a big overkill for us defensively
ah ye makes more sense, and i feel better by thinking im making up for lack of interrupts 😄
fucking DOS just feels impossible in Fort 😦
DOS is pretty ass for us but its mostly just the 1st and 2nd pack that is the worst
rest is pretty easy
like the platform packs can be kind of annoying to deal with
yea exactly those pulls i worry about
and i have way less kiting and silence for them after abandoning NF 😄
do you pull the first pack and then go right towards hakkar and pull that pack 2nd?
no u dont do that
u do first
go toward hakkar get tormentor
then u go back left
and do arden
and do 2nd pack later
fire guys to the right this week
you can just lust everything there if you got players
u want that power
executioner in mechagon?
nah arden
oh skipping 2nd pack is big brain
i usually just do 1st pack
and 2nd pack with lust
then fire guy
You can do first pack with no bl and then bl 2nd pack since it carries it when nobody has cds
yeah ive always found it overkill to lust first pull
same with not going shard first pull in HOA
yea unless DPS are monkas
you use all CDs + lust
i tried this, and people had not enough dmg to pull it off
the Shard that is
im assuming it should die before Lust runs out?
Ideally yes
🤷♂️ yea
i love it when people have too little DPS to pull off a group kill, and then blame me for dying 😄
why i usually just take it chill and pull smaller
and if we dont time the key, it is DPS fault
tbh in dos i wouldnt say no to running scale and aegis
Weak
probably the one dg you would do it
Full dps 
i did yesterday in a 16, but we had nomes frined alt healer and his friend on a alt and mwahi dpsing so it was mega scuff key
@oblique garnet doing Sac+Phial in DOS Fort 😄
lul

Ye i dont have tank trinkets i always play with ows+phial
is OWS more deeps than Sac?
but ows is huge defesnse and dps
🦉
dont think so in raid but idrk
Idk its 259 and im not doing tazavesh
i dont have OWS yet 😦
la di da he clears mythic
only got HC Sylv to 60%
only 10% left 

HC Sylv so much harder with Kyr than NF 😄
no?
soulshape was GOAT for picking up pools
🕵️
Why do i never get asked for these demon keys? 

we put it in memehold most of the time but nome filled with his fiends yesterday
do people ever do Keys with Enha in grp for that big deeps increase? 
but im sure there will be more later this week Late
memehold?
Oh i was probably sleeping yesterday when you started it
like 8 ST i think
Woah, RUDE.
u have a 213 wep mwahi
Ye i was definitely sleeping 
DoS hurts okay

I said RUDE..not ..un-true.


id treat u right m'lady
oh i see Plka running Shard of Alar and Aegis for 26 😮
That's the saddest statement i've seen in a while.
pugs ❤️
🐶
venthyr druids my dude
"i only do small deeps because you pull small" 
can someone carry me in CN Mythic for Heart of Alar 226? 😄
no 🙂
just reroll DH and get the fatescribe trinket
ye ur right

ill just go my Scale+Aegis combo
fk heart of alar
do Blood DKs run the cheat death talent in M+? 🤔
Massive 
got super burnt on pushing m+ and now got some motivation to push again
never again 
I got burned pushing keys in bfa s1
Ever since then I refrained from tryhard pushing
if i get portals, are they unlocked for all chars?
nop
nope
Hah, imagine Blizzard being normal like that.
ah lol whats the point then 😄
Does the cd on the portal reset if you finish the dungeon?
yes
Wait there's a CD on the portal? 😮

My portal is the shadowlands wormhole
Just as good
And I'm 200% faster than any other Schmuck cuz nobody every moves their fat asses

Engineering
It's OP af
It's basically a 15min hearthstone but you can choose which shadowlands zone you wanna go to
i love gated stuff behind professions 😄
It's worth it
Engineering is the only profession that's ever gonna give you player power unless they change their shit
feel weird switching now
And it's also an AH in every new city
didnt they also use to have Shield on belt?
oh they still have it?
I'd much rather take the 2min CD stealth without potion CD
Its does not share potion cd
;)
Its still wank tho
i literally cant make anything of use as BS unless i spend millions of gold leveling up legendaries 🤷
Engi alch gang
ye i want that
i do that on every new toon
but cant give up my 10+ yrs of Recipes and shit from BS
i have basically every expansion i played in max rank of BS
man
a pug told me it was easier for me to dodge 2nd boss in SOA because "i placed the puddles"
???
so its not his fault he got hit 5 times
but do i get back my progression? 🤔
big brain lol
Not entirely sure on that
But you don't happen to have the recipe to craft the polar plate shoulders
is there a rule of thumb to when to take heavy rep over am? or into the fray over ravager?
HR sims 30 dps more damage
on ST
which is in the margin of error
the only advantage its gives is on block fights where u can be lazy and get 100% blocked hits without thinking
where u can get 90% with reprisal alone anyway
and if u take HR u loose CDR on SW and avatar
Are you saying take ITF for raid or not ..
hes saying take it for raid iiuc
ITF is for raid
so are top logs just a bunch of lazy fuqs or?
this is what im referencing
so many people taking HR
right
your looking at mythic plus
still u shouldnt be running HR
u run HR for 2 reasons
that u are doing content where u need that extra 10% blocked hits
and most of them run it because they shot call
so they dont need to think as much
and can focus on interrupts and stuff if u dont do that u can still run AM easily at thoughs levels
In m+
if im at 90 rage, and SS/TC rdy to cast, whats the play?
should i delay SS and spam Revenge, or cast an IP and then SS/TC, then Revenge when possible?
How big of a loss is it to take HR over AM if your just looking to be lazy for a run or 2
u loose damage
and u get a marginal more tanky
but u loose SW casts
and avatar casts
u cast IP
its off the gcd
ye ok, also if on a target where i dont take dmg?
u still do it
like the last boss of DOS mirror thing
Now ppl who run seismic reverb for their “carry keys” do they run bsc and am still or do they go with booming and bolster
if ima overcap i press and have a ss proc ima press ip its muscle memory at this point
but u can just cast it
no one runs Seismic Reverb kekw, but ye run BSC always
ye ok, thought Revenge was more dmg than SS
if u are carrying a key u go full damage
ye ST, but MT
@jagged pier how Big is the dps loss running HR instead of bolster?
HR is a dps increase and defensive increase over bolster
I did 7.2 overall in mist on a 13 carry with reprisal sort of wonder what it would have been with seismic
Oh
uh Seismic can go on feet 😄
wtf is bsc
oh the talent xd
When did ppl stop using seismic for low keys? Did I miss a stretch?
people dont do low keys
no one does low keys?
if youre doing low keys, you have low gear, and then you still run Reprisal
Tell that to the ppl who pay a shit ton of gold to have ppl run them through m0s lol
the people who pay a shit ton of gold dont play Warr tank lol
but if you carrying people like that you might as well go Arms Venthyr and just spam condemn
I did an m0 run for the weekly quest last week
I played seismic in SD
Entire group was 200ilvl or less so I basically solod the key
If you are doing low keys where your ilvl carries yourself you can even use vitality and be fine. It wont matter at that point
Or well, m0
I did like 8.3k dps
Rest was 3k or less
In mists I only did like 7.5k in m0 cuz the group had actual gear
But to answer your question @wide pilot in low keys people still play seismic for big pad yes
u mfs on dome shit or am i just bad
And defo with BSC cuz 60% of your dmg is gonna be revenge
i finish 15s with like 5.3k dps
Don't have dps shards :(
bsc over bm when you're going rav and am?
BM is only for ST
You don't play BV in keys
bruh ive been running bsc, itf, and hr
Why
idfk at this point
this is what i get for looking at people that do 24s and thinking thats the play
PLEASE DO NOT LOOK AT PPL DOING 24s-25s TO SEE WHAT U SHOULD
they are playing a completely different game
Phial + aegis for a good time
Phial + sack for damgur
Aegis + matrix for a max comfy time
aegis + scale for falling asleep in keys
lmfao
I am a casual tank and use ress trinket from fatescribe and phial because I don't have any other tank trinkets 
then dont use fatescribe
use somthing else its better
u do not need tank trinkets to tank
when I think about it, it has only come in handy in torghast of all places
how are u dying in torghast?
Take it slow
one time I jumped into a pack at start and got 1 tapped
which shouldnt happen when you pop cds
The one thing I learned with 9.1 torghast is, is that just speedrunning and masspulling layer 12 isn't gonna work until like floor 4
The speed component for points can be ignored
^^
yeah, I just take it slow
I only need 1 more flawless for mount now
since I was away for 2 weeks
i wish i could enjoy torghast enough to do flawless runs n shit
Ngl
I enjoy it because of adamant vaults and its rewards
gives me pleasure in my pleasure center
Same lors
it alright for twice a week
If not for the potential tmog from flawless run, I wouldn't care
But... There's tmog to be had
Gimme rare tmog
tmog and mount from achievement 
Mount I don't care
But gimme rare tmog
I'm literally that gif when it comes to rare mog
Yes
it's impossible to find a good t mog for tauren
them horns be in the way for everything
And the fact that all your proportions are fucked
Tiny legs, huge feet, tiny chest, huge shoulders
Dumbfuck big head
All fit onto an oversized frame
tauren is messy
I just unmog everything
still havent found anything I like
so tattoos on dark fur looks better
?! Nomeratur what xmog from flawless run you talking about?
the ones that drop from bosses
which im still yet to loot one of

even though flawlessed all 12 since day one of being able too
hmm? I think I have most or all of them? or? none? Because I"m not sure what we mean.
black and red
Yeah I got the achievement the other day for doing all of them flawless, and a mount? I thought?
Quick question I hope. When it comes to damage reduction calculation. Using physical damage as an example. Shield wall would mitigate 50% of the damage that gets past my armour and block right?
? ok maybe I haven't gotten any of the black/red?
when you say 'flawless' do you mean 5 star or like..no one dies?
Flawless are essy, did 269 and252 points this week with my dh-mate.
adamant vault
because the tmog drops from the vault boss
not the end of layer boss
5 star / 200 points at the end of floor 5
Yeah for sure, i just want to spend as little time inside torghast as necessary
Dragon yes; Mitigation is Did you get hit? (in range/in zone/parry/dodge) If you got hit..how much armor you have, and DR talents? Now that you got hit..did you also have active mitigation up? (shield block) after you filtered all that..did you have an absorb shield up? apply damage to HP bar, or absorb shield~
oh yeah i've done flawless on all the wings and done vaults many times; but I don't think I've looted a black/red mog yet? it's all grey/silver/gold (and the 1k anima backpack mog items)
Only thing I'm not sure of is when things like shield wall/etc apply? is it after "hit connected; you did not parry/dodge' DR applies, now armor, now block, now absorb?
I wouldnt overthink the defensives so much
Big damage is coming, need a cd then pop a cd
Cool thanks , that enough for me to to work out what might kill me if I don’t shield wall and stuff
Well you're gonna' use it when you 'need' it etc..but I would still like to know the exact order of operations.
Dragon the other important thing is to know weather or not the hit you took IS blockable.
When it comes to things other than 'white hits' shield block is not as intuitive as you'd think it is.
With block if i just presume. I Won’t crit block then I should be able to know. The minimum. But this is all good to know. Thanks again all
hmm? For the pinned picture set up for 'arms and prot' isn't the best conduit, empowered or not for arms..Mortal Combo, not crash ramps?
How many black n red mog items in torghast?
Is it just the the 2 ring like back pieces?
WAIT WTF? Where are the "mantle of burnished/crimson blades" from?
Never seen them
Is that a venthyr only back item?
Sounds like it
yeah it is
CMON MANG..damn. The Torghast back pieces clip through vulperra ears, so they don't look good..those blades back pieces would be perfect.
Like..differing abilities are one thing; but xmog? why are you making xmog part of a 'faction' choice you are restricted to?
If you leave the covenant you can't use those mogs right? IE the necrolord shields/armor etc?
i assume covenant mogs dont transfer over accounts
I thought you had to be active IN the covenant to use them
probably
You do
The kyrian back items are SO LAME
They COULD have made cool wings, but instead "let's make floppy cardboard wings? ok!"
anyone have some quick tips how to handle Pools better in P3 Sylv HC? 🤔 
Nielsen If you aren't tanking her..you are cleaning the floor..always.
yea
im no expert but ive personally had my tank hold her then clean the next platform when the arrows spawn
When you clean, you get to a corner...and YOU call the dispel
and when going for Wailing, i should bring back pools
then swap on arrows
do NOT let healers willy nilly dispel
Any tank can clean boss does fuck all
second; taunt swap INSTA if you get the arrow ability..and instantly fly to other platform...pop shield wall/whatever...SCRUB the floor for the whole time you're there..let arrow hit you (others will be coming over right about then to drop arrow off too) then fly back..go to a corner CALL the dispel (you'll have like 8/9 stacks)
He has to...HAS to
that's 'tanking' sylvanas..it's not tanking sylvanas..it's cleaning the floor and managing pools for the group.
If they get dispelled rando...soaks go everywhere; rando people get them..you die to banshee wail. If you don't keep the 'launch pad' to the other platforms cleared..people get stacks..die..banshee wail explosions again~ If you don't PRE scrub the next the platform...people get stacks, die..banshee wail explosions happen~
Cleaning the floor is on the two of you.
how many Banshee Fury do i get pr platform?
Protection Janitor
The only real time you stop cleaning if if everything is clean, or you just arrived on platform 3 (fury cast comes right after she lands)
So you are scrubbing if you aren't tanking; YOU call the dispels, and only call the dispels in corners away from players. couple tips for prot specifically...CHARGE back to sylvanas the instant you get your dispel; and you can use spell reflect to mitigate some of the damage. Also don't forget you can dive INTO existing patches in the corner created by other tank..to just 're stack' in the same corner..then charge back out.
(yeah sorry not banshee wail..banshee fury)
6 to 8 is very safe
Above that it depends on your gear, cds that you might have or trinkets to help
The only 'tight' timer happens often when you get arrow..jump across/scrub floor 100% (use wall/sr/last stand..whatever) fly back..and you probably need to get your dispel asap because Raze is happening (depending on which tank started)
ye thats the 2nd set of arrows right?
usually I'm the main tank so I start tanking most bosses in each phase/etc so as the 'first' On-Tank I usually get arrow, jump across..full scrub floor, fly back..get dispel..and I had 9 stacks..if I had 10 or more it's because I dove into existing puddles for dispel.
You can watch replay
As soon as bane is coming on p1 im already in the other side to clean
Heroic sylv is now so easy I may run my leaper legendary JUST to make pre scrubbing the platform faster/easier.
I clean, wait for wail if needed, jump back and go drop
looks like Banshees Fury x2
Arrow x1 (3x)
pr platform 🤔
Beacause you fly over..and you move kinda' slow..so scrubbing the platform takes a few seconds, so like..arrow will hit you and you'll still have to pick up like 1 or 2 more puddles.
Taunt. Let the other tank dispell, take boss combo and dispell before fury ends
It just flows eventually
The only time sylvanas does anything meaningful (in norm/heroic) is if you don't swap insta on 3 stack, or you run away from her while being the 'on' tank. If you do that..she'll snipe you to death.
oh wait, only the first platform has 2x Fury
Yeah if you're taunting on the 3 stack (1 application of her ranger arrow/whatever bullshit) it just..works out, and you never get too many stacks..etc.
But yeah..that's the shitty thing; you don't get to dps that boss...you're a janitor full time (while not actively tanking)
The only changes to cleaning focus is when you arrive on p3 because of incoming fury. And p4 just hold stacks as much as possible so raid has space. Fury comed early there too
And warrior so gud for p2~
I beat the dh's to her interrupt almost 100% of the time.
Yes, with reprisal youll also help the group on the p2 phase of fight
leap, + 70% movement...+2 charges + aoe taunt...we are very well suited for p2 on the chains/ledges.
You can challenge shout a whole platform if your dpsers try to rip before you
^^
aoe taunt~
I'm the 'cooldown' for the first 'big' set of adds...that's my rally/aoe taunt..and then we just blast. and the Souljudge is the only mob that matters in any way there..and maybe the summoner
Bounding Stride vs Crackling Thunder for M+ 🤔
What I LOVE is how on a platform that is 1 giant flat square.. (painsmith) Charge will have you zig zag through the chains players in the middle and all kinda' wonky shit. On a jaggedy ice bridge 1 player width wide or cobbled rocks in mid air..you can charge sylvanas and you'll path to her perfectly 100/100 times. WHAT?!
Nielsen I like both..every time I don't have one I miss it. Crackling makes pulling through/clapping threat and collecting a pull much easier. Bounding makes 'moving' through the dungeon MUCH nicer..like DoS etc. So it can be a per dungeon thing.
If I don't have bounding in DoS i'm sadge..or maybe HoA..but then in HoA is also where I ALSO want crackling.
CT masterrace
CT is a nice slow if you need to kite a lot
but youre a pwarr
so you shouldnt reaally kite a lot
CT?
personally i prefer BS
OH crackling thunder?
yep
Yeah I like both like I said.. Plka runs crackling thunder in his keys but he's so concerned with doing damage/getting the pull together..and he has a fairly static team so slows/kiting is handled by other peoples slows (mostly).
When I don't have crackling is when often 1 mob will peel off the edge of a pack that I'm pulling 'through' to get something else.. and when I don't have bounding I just feel 'slow' and that leap is on a 3 hour cooldown.
It's wild how big of a difference 30 sec to 45 sec 'feels' (sure it's a 33% reduction..or a 50% increase in cooldown whichever way you wanna look at it)
But it feels worse than that.
Same
I can't play without bounding
Makes me feel dead inside with the 45sec CD and without the speed increase
hmm, is TOP a bad dmg dung?
not a lot of big packs
biggest pack you'll have is either the double pulls in gorechop wing
u can do higher in there tho
or the ghosts
wait if i dont dps on ghosts, does that count as inactive time, decreasing my dps? 🤔
but man 16 TOP feels easy compared to DOS 16
top on fort isnt really that hard most of the time
the captain-pack in Xav wing can slap
and that wing is generally slow
but imo its a tougher tyrann dg
is it possible to skip the Conquest orb guy in TOP?
the who
if you can skip soggodon? :0
ye? why not?
just tryna understand what you meant
yeah you can skip him for sure
shouldnt be too taxing
but reaping scythe might truck a bit more even with SR
just not sure if the guy pulls him
nah the tormentors dont really pull unless you pull them
Yeah but iirc the scythe is both physical and magic damage, like Hakkar. But maybe i'm wrong
but i dont remember if you deflect everything even if it's like that - or if you deflect only the magic
im washed up with my m+ knowledge
but yes its totally fine to skip
you can p much skip soggodon and ice guy on p much every dg
realistically
but not exactly worth
fucking just realized the thing i upgraded to lvl 3 in my Kyr sanctum is the Command Table and not the Transport Network 

Sogodden is Stone Ward tho holy shit
thats rly fking good
ice guy is Pendend of Martyr, fucking shit power
the only powers that really matter are fire and executioner
cus that's where the big dam is
Yeah nothing id do with pugs
but with a roar it's fine
only really a problem with the grasp
does Crumbling Bulwark give us more deeps than Champions Brand?
nah probably not
5% vers vs 210 Mastery/Crit
just thinking since Mastery/Crit is not good for us, but Vers is usually higher
so 5% is big
what should i spend valor on? 🤔 neck or ring?
save it
