cinder nova
#

That's fearless

#

And terrifying

woven bear
#

Is there a weak aura that warns me before pulling aggro from the active tank?

strong forum
#

the nameplate tells you

#

"high threat"

#

and it changes colour when youre about to take aggro

woven bear
#

Yeah it says high threat all the fight

cinder nova
#

Your co-tank is probably either super undergeared or grossly underachieving.

strong forum
#

then youre constantly in danger of pulling aggro

woven bear
#

yeah my co tank rerolled and is 10ilvl below me

cinder nova
#

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

woven bear
#

i'm sure he manages to fix this soon with gear and practice, but it doesn't help right now

dusty stump
#

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.

cinder nova
#

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 .

cinder nova
#

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.

elfin nova
#

there's absolutely no reason not to

#

if you're progging it and need to play last platform you really need to clear it

cinder nova
#

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.

brave jetty
#

I had a similar issue with my cotank - he was like 10-15 ilvl lower AND underachieving in dmg (single digit parses consistently)

cinder nova
#

Yeah that's unacceptable to me.

brave jetty
#

It took about a two month passive aggressive campaign to change it

cinder nova
#

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.

brave jetty
#

Tbh I stopped playing around it and just made it known in comms every time something fucked up because of it

cinder nova
#

LOL

#

Just roast him

#

"I died because I got aggro."

blazing condor
#

if i got a 252 1h and loot a higher 2h than what i got can i trade it or nah

brave jetty
#

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

cinder nova
#

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

brave jetty
#

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

cinder nova
#

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)

crystal hill
#

how is it that a VDH doesn't do damage

#

isn't smacking the boss a good portion of your staying alive

sick sentinel
#

anyone here knows if guardian druid can tank obliterate in guardian mythic without bops or is it a must our tank having issues

cinder nova
#

Both oblits?

sick sentinel
#

no one

#

he will take one and other tank will take the second one

cinder nova
#

You have to have 4 people in it on Mythic

sick sentinel
#

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

cinder nova
#

Oh, dunno - I don't think he should be getting flattened, but... ?

sick sentinel
#

well he did thats what i also think

#

he should be able to tank it without issues at least one stack but

cinder nova
#

idk warrior can live it with just LS, Wall, and SR

sick sentinel
#

i have no idea so wanted an opinion

cinder nova
#

Not sure how a bear is getting dunked

sick sentinel
#

he nearly dies without bops aswell

#

will check some logs thanks

cinder nova
#

Did you ask what CDs he's using?

sick sentinel
#

he just claimed he needed bops i have no idea

cinder nova
#

Ask him.

blazing condor
sick sentinel
#

checking logs in a break now checked like 5 random ones no bops on guardian

blazing condor
#

no only hc lol

#

so it doesnt count sadge

cinder nova
#

Gotta pump up your Tarra parse homie

blazing condor
#

got unlucky

cinder nova
#

What was your DPS on Guardian? 🤔

blazing condor
#

i cut out the rest cus i died on both fatescribe and KT sadge

#

but its good to me peepoBlush

guys can bronn Aggro mobs accidentally?

cinder nova

He can social stuff yes

tardy sequoia

ffs thats why

he aggroed the whole room of gluttonous ticks in sanguine depths

u can just right click him off

Tonight gonna run the wall in raid

#

Taking AM, wondering if Im missing something by not using HR there

modern brook
#

Reprisal

strong forum
#

You'd always play AM anyway

#

Lol

#

Why on earth would you play HR

#

Or wall, for that matter

bright flax
#

well its not unviable so why not try it eventually?

strong forum
#

The only boss I could understand HR would be Guardian, but you want AM for the tank combo too so eh

strong forum
bright flax
#

ye same thought, AM seems better in too many scenarios that the minimum dps I could get from HR seems not worth it

tribal adder
#

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

ocean yoke
#

Youll be fine with whichever trinkets you go, OWS/phial is a great combo though since it will do a lot of damage

sturdy sable
#

OWs and phial are bis

bright flax
#

phial ows sounds good to delete mobs faster

tribal adder
#

ok, I'd been using howl alongside OWS since it gives that mircoheal but just feels meh

strong forum
#

Ows + phial

#

Fuck surv

#

Go big dam

tardy sequoia
#

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?

ocean yoke
#

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

strong forum
#

Wait for like 10sec of them drinking ye

#

It's worth the wait

dry flicker
#

healers cant drink until spitefuls are killed or disappear. they are used to drinking right after mobs die so they seem slow this week.

tardy sequoia
#

Yeah it's def slower

nova surge
#

Is the ravager thr best talent gor m+ as tank?

jagged pier

yes

cinder nova
#

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?

modern brook

u think dps care about mechanics ever

#

KEK

modern brook
#

Are you talking about the weapons thag get thrown on the ground?

cinder nova
#

Yes.

#

They actually hit tanks hard and can cleave on high keys.

#

I've watched an Hpal get bodied by one in a 21.

modern brook
#

Do hunters have a purge for it?

cinder nova
#

Yes. Tranq shot.

#

It dispels 1 enrage and 1 magic.

I didnt know it removed a magic

Thought it was just a soothe

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

brave jetty
#

Is Scale dmg anything to write home about? I always thought it was totally negligible

jagged pier
#

U dont need ither in NW tho

blazing condor
#

Nah but i just wanted to test it out sadge

jagged pier
#

U dont run ither scale or aegis for damage

blazing condor

aegis + ows felt good

Can obv do more on some keys

young harbor
#

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

mighty valley

definitely affected by group, better dps players raises everyone

blazing condor

affected by a lot of things

how you pull

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

#

Spell reflect + intervene first boss of NW makes your teammates immune to the spit. You can do every one

sweet summit
#

but why

hollow sun
#

is this a recent discovery?

patent osprey
#

not sure. Never see anyone doing it though

#

its pretty broken

mellow bridge
#

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

sweet summit
#

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 peepostudy

#

one of u test that ty catjam

patent osprey
#

yeah u can only reflect

#

if its not on u

#

with intervene

#

why, i dunno

#

but it is

sweet summit
#

very interesting

#

@shut summit mind adding this to sheet 🥺

fringe marten
#

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.

modern brook
#

Does it do damage too

#

Or is it a deflect

fringe marten
#

So I don't think it's a 'bug' it's working mechanically how the abilities work.

sweet summit
#

link log @patent osprey 👀

modern brook
#

This only works specifically with intervene reflect

fringe marten
#

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.

worthy karma
#

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

fringe marten
#

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.

mellow bridge
#

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

fringe marten
#

It's not an aoe cast.

mellow bridge
#

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

patent osprey
#

I only bring you guys the information. its up to the theory crafters to figure it out 🙂

fringe marten
#

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)

weary hollow
#

hey can someone help me what legendary should i make for raid as prot?

mellow bridge
#

Unless I'm being dumb and dps warriors can just reflect it when targeted

#

But afaik they can't

patent osprey
#

DPS warriors cannot reflect it

#

on their own

mellow bridge
#

Yeah

fringe marten
#

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?

mellow bridge
#

So intervene makes it behave in a way in which it shouldn't

fringe marten
#

Plka I think because the ability has already been applied to you

#

that's the only way it makes mechanical sense

weary hollow
#

on feet?

mellow bridge
#

Legs

ocean yoke
#

@weary hollow youll generally want reprisal for every fight but eye and sylv, on those wall go a bit better

patent osprey
fringe marten
#

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.

weary hollow
#

tnx alot guys<3

fringe marten
#

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?

#

omg noob

fringe marten
#

Not flaming..I was like "OH is he arms ri..no..those are prot talents..WHAT IS GOING ON?"

patent osprey
#

uh im just trying kyrian for the next 3 weeks. Then ill decide where my heart goes.

mellow bridge
#

But yeah def thanks for sharing

patent osprey
#

I need to try kyrian so I can make a guide vid 🙂

mellow bridge
#

That's huge especially on tyra where it can just oneshot without a defensive

fringe marten
#

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.

patent osprey
#

i never play auto phial 🙂

#

its a trap

#

and our potency conduits arent that good

fringe marten
#

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..

patent osprey
#

u will get 1 potency from mikanikos

#

if u go right side

fringe marten
#

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?

patent osprey
#

yea

dense gate
#

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?

fringe marten
#

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

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

patent osprey
fringe marten
#

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.

cunning viper
#

is Aegis trinket good?

ocean yoke
#

Guessing you mean the trinket from the nine, definitely yes

cunning viper
#

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

ocean yoke
#

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

dusky mica
#

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

distant crystal
#

i wonder if you could just macro dismiss bron into invis pot

dusky mica
#

don't see why not

mighty cairn
#

does the shard of aegis work on dot effects like painsmith weapon, or is it literally just from melees in front you?

dusky mica
#

/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

mellow bridge
#

It's works on dots but you have to face him

dusky mica
#

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

dusky mica
#

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

lofty widget
#

it's usually ok to sac some ilvl for "better" stats on jewelry, i'd probably go with the 230 one

dusky mica
#

we'll see you back here next week when you ask about the Kelthuzad neck instead

obtuse monolith
#

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

dusky mica
#

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

lofty widget
#

preferably you open a sin stained in your vault

dusky mica
#

the vault of broken dreams, aye

obtuse monolith
#

Makes sense. Mastery just feels like our worst stat. Especially w blood link not scaling w it

dusky mica
#

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

obtuse monolith
#

I’m fully ‘more stats = better stats’ jewelry’s just that one wonky exception

dusky mica
#

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

mellow bridge
#

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

how does a Fort pull compare to a Tyrannical pull?
like is a 15 Fort the same as an 18 Tyrannical? 🤔

#

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

jagged pier

u get that by hovering over the main par

cedar spear
#

Okay

craggy pilot
jagged pier
#

yes

#

always been that way

craggy pilot
#

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 🤔

jagged pier
#

it is easier

#

it just harder on tanks

#

dps and healers dont need to care about mechanics in fort week

craggy pilot
#

ah the boss mechanics you mean?

jagged pier
#

pretty much

craggy pilot
#

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 😄

obtuse monolith
craggy pilot
#

yea exactly 😄 would be fun as fk

obtuse monolith
#

I mean I suppose it’s just a +2

craggy pilot
#

or maybe a hybrid affix, doing like
Bosses and mobs gain 15% dmg and health

oblique garnet
#

You can definitely pull mobs to bosses this week on 15s

fringe marten
#

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.

jagged pier
#

no

fringe marten
#

Was like Volcanic/sanguine/explosive? I think? basically a nothing week

jagged pier
#

3rd affix was lvl 10 and higher

#

in bfa they put fort and try to all keys in bfa

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.

#

Yeah except everyone..EVERYONE had a resto druid healer.

jagged pier
#

so we got 2 mil absorb sheild

fringe marten
#

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.

jagged pier
#

🤷

#

was like 6 years ago

fringe marten
#

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.

strong forum
#

Fort and tyr were level 10 affixes I remember that

#

With bfa they made them level 2 affixes

fringe marten
#

yup, but they weren't 'perma' as in..rotating each week.

strong forum
#

Yea

jagged pier
#

they were

#

just at lvl 10 keys

fringe marten
#

No they were not.

strong forum
#

Were they peepostudy

jagged pier
#

yer they were

fringe marten
#

No, they were not.

#

The 'perma' rotating fort/tyr was a BFA addition.

jagged pier
#

on all keys

fringe marten
#

Has my memory just eroded that hard? I thought for sure there were weeks with 3 affixes; and one was NOT fort/tyran ?

jagged pier
fringe marten
#

I went looking it up too to confirm..and then it said "level 10 fort/tyran would be on each key"

jagged pier
#

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

fringe marten
#

I had it just 'locked' into memory that the perma rotating tyran/fort was added in BFA..and it was only ocassionally in Legion.

jagged pier
#

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

#

🤷

fringe marten
#

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.

jagged pier
#

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

fringe marten
#

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.

jagged pier
#

10 was a jump at the start of legion tbh

fringe marten
#

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.

jagged pier
#

boss gauntlet at the end

fringe marten
#

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.

jagged pier
#

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

fringe marten
#

What was in the karazhan split dungeon people wanted..?

jagged pier
#

thing for the dh wep in final patch

#

cant remeber the name

fringe marten
#

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?

jagged pier
#

yer there were a few things but cant remeber anymore

fringe marten
#

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?

jagged pier
#

🤷

fringe marten
#

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.

jagged pier
#

all the casters i know wanted arcanocrsystal tbh

fringe marten
#

yeah but aran's ruby was the other one.

#

for a little while anyway.

#

Wasn't arcanocrystal BiS for literally everyone?

jagged pier
#

not us

fringe marten
#

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.

jagged pier
#

i still got the 3 i looted

fringe marten
#

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.

DOS is pretty ass for us but its mostly just the 1st and 2nd pack that is the worst

You can do first pack with no bl and then bl 2nd pack since it carries it when nobody has cds

i love it when people have too little DPS to pull off a group kill, and then blame me for dying 😄

is there a rule of thumb to when to take heavy rep over am? or into the fray over ravager?

jagged pier
#

u never take HR over AM

#

and ITF over rav in raid

#

no where else

warm condor
#

but like so many logs suggest otherwise

#

idk im confused sadga

jagged pier
#

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

empty spindle
warm condor
#

hes saying take it for raid iiuc

jagged pier
#

ITF is for raid

empty spindle
#

Yeah ok

#

Was gonna say Lolol

warm condor
#

so are top logs just a bunch of lazy fuqs or?

#

this is what im referencing

#

so many people taking HR

jagged pier
#

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

craggy pilot
#

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?

wide pilot
#

How big of a loss is it to take HR over AM if your just looking to be lazy for a run or 2

jagged pier
#

u loose damage

#

and u get a marginal more tanky

#

but u loose SW casts

#

and avatar casts

craggy pilot

ye ok, also if on a target where i dont take dmg?

#

u still do it

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

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

Any tank can clean boss does fuck all

fringe marten
#

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.

craggy pilot
#

how many Banshee Fury do i get pr platform?

dusky mica
#

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)

fringe marten
#

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)

craggy pilot
#

ye ok

#

but how many do i get pr platform? 2?

bright flax
#

6 to 8 is very safe

#

Above that it depends on your gear, cds that you might have or trinkets to help

fringe marten
#

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)

craggy pilot
#

ye thats the 2nd set of arrows right?

bright flax
#

That my scrub log

fringe marten
#

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.

bright flax
#

You can watch replay

#

As soon as bane is coming on p1 im already in the other side to clean

fringe marten
#

Heroic sylv is now so easy I may run my leaper legendary JUST to make pre scrubbing the platform faster/easier.

bright flax
#

I clean, wait for wail if needed, jump back and go drop

craggy pilot
#

looks like Banshees Fury x2
Arrow x1 (3x)
pr platform 🤔

fringe marten
#

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.

bright flax
#

Taunt. Let the other tank dispell, take boss combo and dispell before fury ends

#

It just flows eventually

fringe marten
#

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.

craggy pilot
#

oh wait, only the first platform has 2x Fury

fringe marten
#

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)

bright flax
#

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

fringe marten
#

And warrior so gud for p2~

#

I beat the dh's to her interrupt almost 100% of the time.

bright flax
#

Yes, with reprisal youll also help the group on the p2 phase of fight

fringe marten
#

leap, + 70% movement...+2 charges + aoe taunt...we are very well suited for p2 on the chains/ledges.

bright flax
#

You can challenge shout a whole platform if your dpsers try to rip before you

fringe marten
#

^^

#

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

craggy pilot
#

Bounding Stride vs Crackling Thunder for M+ 🤔

fringe marten
#

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

blazing condor
#

CT is a nice slow if you need to kite a lot

#

but youre a pwarr

#

so you shouldnt reaally kite a lot

fringe marten
#

CT?

blazing condor
#

personally i prefer BS

fringe marten
#

OH crackling thunder?

blazing condor
#

yep

fringe marten
#

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.

strong forum
#

Same

#

I can't play without bounding

#

Makes me feel dead inside with the 45sec CD and without the speed increase

craggy pilot
#

hmm, is TOP a bad dmg dung?

blazing condor
#

not a lot of big packs

#

biggest pack you'll have is either the double pulls in gorechop wing

jagged pier
#

u can do higher in there tho

blazing condor
#

or the ghosts

craggy pilot
#

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

blazing condor
#

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

craggy pilot
#

is it possible to skip the Conquest orb guy in TOP?

blazing condor
#

the who

craggy pilot
#

Sogodden this week

#

in the Xav PvP wing

blazing condor
#

if you can skip soggodon? :0

craggy pilot
#

ye? why not?

blazing condor
#

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

craggy pilot
#

just not sure if the guy pulls him

blazing condor
#

nah the tormentors dont really pull unless you pull them

craggy pilot
#

Sogodden doesnt increase magic dmg

#

only physical

blazing condor
#

Yeah but iirc the scythe is both physical and magic damage, like Hakkar. But maybe i'm wrong

craggy pilot
#

ah ye it is lul

#

but stil

#

its Fort week

#

so doesnt dmg alot

blazing condor
#

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

craggy pilot
#

fucking just realized the thing i upgraded to lvl 3 in my Kyr sanctum is the Command Table and not the Transport Network copium

blazing condor
craggy pilot
#

Sogodden is Stone Ward tho holy shit

#

thats rly fking good

#

ice guy is Pendend of Martyr, fucking shit power

blazing condor
#

the only powers that really matter are fire and executioner

#

cus that's where the big dam is

craggy pilot
#

tru

#

but having 50% reduced movement on last boss eeek

blazing condor
#

Yeah nothing id do with pugs

#

but with a roar it's fine

#

only really a problem with the grasp

craggy pilot
#

does Crumbling Bulwark give us more deeps than Champions Brand?

blazing condor
#

nah probably not

craggy pilot
#

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

blazing condor
#

i take bulwark usually either way

#

good DR

craggy pilot
#

ye same

#

just saw my druid guildie taking Champions Brand in Guardian

blazing condor
#

🤷‍♂️ might be worth

#

shouldnt be a make or break

craggy pilot
#

what should i spend valor on? 🤔 neck or ring?

jagged pier

save it
