#

Halls is really shitty prot war dungeon

#

Just lack tools like grip/aoe silence like DH and DK to really group everything together nicely

#

At least thats my experience with it

rancid ember
#

Halls feels really tough this season in Fort.

plush tendon
#

Timer is shit

#

the trash itself is pretty straight foward, but the only way to really save time is to pull larger

vapid berry
#

warriors get smacked by that magic dam

plush tendon
#

and the only bosses you can realistically pull trash on top of are the first and third boss

vapid berry
#

and its bolstering week so gl with that

rancid ember
#

Ehh Timer isn't horrible, but big pulls are just really hard. Casters really hurt and not being able to outrange thrash is tough too.

plush tendon
vapid berry
#

yeah halls makes me miss NF

plush tendon
#

Cant wait till 9.1.5 so I can swap between Kyrian and NF

#

for sure dungeons I prefer Aftershock and others I want to throw Spear

vapid berry
#

yeah I was considering necrolord for the memes but its also actually really good

plush tendon
#

Necrolord will forever be meh for me

vapid berry
#

buff that mage or boomy or whatever and the dps is large

plush tendon
#

until its a group wide buff

vapid berry
#

yeahhhhhh I kinda understand why it isnt group wide cause then all youd see is necro warriors even though its a personal damage loss and people will get upset you arent supporting their class thats better then yours but like I want it to be better at the same time

vapid berry
#

low key necrolord is bad ass though whyisthisgood

plush tendon
#

Cool tmog, fits warrior aesthetics, decent soulbinds, fleshcraft is ok but not game changing, and banner is underwhelming

#

Which is hard for me to say, since necrolords are my favorite cov ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

sick sentinel
#

+8 don't laugh but +2 should be more like, 18

strong forum
#

clearly a visual bug

#

it was an 18

blazing condor
#

Thought that was overall dps for a sec

sick sentinel
#

i turn it off so i'm not distracted

#

and to hide my bad dps

oblique garnet
#

Just press 123 harder

sick sentinel
#

this ones the dps from that run

strong forum
#

im hiding my dps i did from last key too

#

is ok

oblique garnet
#

You did decent

strong forum
#

na

#

anything below 7k is not acceptable to me

oblique garnet
#

Its halls so not really a dungeon where you can do that big of an overall

#

Since we werent doing mdi pulls

strong forum
#

my route was ass but still

#

need practice again

oblique garnet
#

Yeah i was not a fan of that Pepexecute

sick sentinel
#

somehow i died on like the very first pull of that dungeon

#

and never after

strong forum
#

ever since i stopped tanking keys i legit havent spent a second on routing

#

especially halls and dos

oblique garnet
#

I just do pulls that seem fun๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

strong forum
#

no pulls seem fun in Halls

sick sentinel
#

i don't mind tanking keys, its the dungeons on selection

oblique garnet
#

They either work out or i die

strong forum
#

everything just ranged bullshit

#

not enough LoS spots

sick sentinel

i would like to see all dungeons except really bullshit ones are m+

sick sentinel

across all the expansion

strong forum

i dont think i can compherend that sentence

#

ah

wide pilot
#

are we still taking a 239 aegis over a 252 scale for m+?

strong forum
#

defensively hell yes

wide pilot
#

and i take it you would use it after grouping up a big pull?

strong forum
#

entirely situational

#

often and well is how you should use it

blazing condor
#

I found a good route for halls

#

Now its fun

strong forum
#

ive never had a good route for halls

#

ever

#

actually dont like the dungeon at all

blazing condor
#

I felt the same

#

Not anymore

sick sentinel
#

i got the mists shield so i have it rank 7 now

blazing condor
#

Still its ass on fort

sick sentinel
#

technically better than the N raid shield

strong forum
#

especially with a full warrior comp

oblique garnet
blazing condor
#

I go left shard > packs before right shard > right shard > stairs and pat before 3rd shard > 3rd shard > pack before boss > stairs > 2nd boss

sick sentinel
#

still feels strange no bolster, and not sure when you'd switch to AM

blazing condor
#

Bolster is like putting a bandaid on a bandaid

#

When ur already running reprisal

sick sentinel
#

i could get used to it sure, just have to keep sheild block ticking

blazing condor
#

Yes

#

Running bolster would only hinder your progression of becoming a better pwarr

brave jetty
#

Halls?

#

Triple pull with lust at start

#

Then work towards right shard, back toward left shard

#

Some discretion there on how big you pull

#

Down the stairs, more discretionary pulls on the way to last shard

#

Rest kinda depends on what you skipped, lots of routes skip a ton or even all between 1st and 2nd boss

blazing condor
#

in my experience its a waste to triple pull and lust in halls

#

save it for a shard if youre gonna do that pull

#

you have all CDs to kill like 6 mobs

#

no need for bl too

digital arch
#

i did soa 18 now, at the first boss two dps died

#

i was thinking that was broke the key but we did at time

#

now i cant do more dg haha i need a coffee

brave jetty
#

SoA has a really lenient timer, can usually get a full wipe in and still time it

sick sentinel
#

no idea why they did it, i guess to be nice but one of guys in run was alchemist made 2 stam flask and trade to me, already had power on

strong forum
#

Stam flask?

#

I guess better than nothing but yeah, a weird move

blazing condor
sick sentinel
#

yeh, he just open trade for some reason, wasn't about to say no

strong forum
#

Ya I wouldn't either

hollow sun
#

people can't complain that you don't use flaks if you use stamina ones bedge

sick sentinel
#

i ate the feast, died like 2 pulls in, lost the feast buff

#

wasn't too pleased about it

hollow sun
#

honestly i don't use consumables below 16s

#

its simply not needed

sick sentinel
#

show of good faith and practice i suppose

hollow sun
#

its very unlikely that you won't time the key cause of the flask

strong forum
#

I just do it out of habit

cyan onyx
#

Same tbh. I do it when I'm tanking 4s for guildies and get mad that I wasted a flask ๐Ÿคฃ

brave jetty
#

Honestly lower keys is more incentive to flask up

#

Higher shot of beating out the DPS on overall and clowning them for it

sick sentinel
#

i think i waste my food tho, i get my bags full, but in pugs keys there is always one fck up and rip food

blazing condor

Just live

#

into the fray vs ravager on keys, it depends? xd

strong forum
#

Doesn't depend

#

Ravager is better

brave jetty
#

It depends on if you want to do less damage or not

the problem with the tap the sign meme

Just did 3 ToP keys back to back.
First Key didn't even get past Xav, Warlock quit calling me the worst tank in the world.
Second Key timed 4 minutes under, complimented on the tanking.
Third key we missed by under a minute, Shaman decides to rage at me over how I pulled the dungeon.
Same tank and route every time. Major difference was the second run had DPS who really knew how to use their class utility.

tanked lfr fatescribe, we hit enrage, even after soaking the invoke destiny adds greenbear

#

Doing a normal full clear on a Tuesday is great. Geared DPS, everyone knows mechanics, 5mins KT, 11mins Sylv.

LFR is dogshit. Itโ€™s night and day

#

But still no shoulders soโ€ฆ

#

Donโ€™t even feel it soaking the Fate tank add on Normal though. Felt like cheesing the fight how little damage it did

sick sentinel
#

i had some drunk hunter in a normal taza last night, way overgeared

#

probably only reason we complted it

#

said he wanted the conduits

devout heron
#

do you think farming gold in silvermoon doable

#

with gathering n stuff?

tropic gorge
#

so last week was a dry spell finding tanks as dps, and ez finding groups as my tank. this week, it seems the cowards have returned to run m+

unreal sequoia
#

Is a 246 scale worth using over 233 OWS in raid?

mossy peak
#

scale's pretty lousy in raid

unreal sequoia
#

I also have 246 iqd, and the other one from dos

#

uncertain what to use

lofty widget
#

opc is great for dam

mossy peak
#

definitely wouldn't use IQD

lofty widget
#

scale is very niche, good for soaking big abilities which there are not many of in the raid

#

except maybe eye and guardian?

sick sentinel
#

for keys i like scale because its both a bubble and aoe attack

mossy peak
#

scale is very good in keys, albeit outclassed by aegis

#

but the effect is pretty poor on single target

#

you want it where it can hit a bunch of things, like in a key

sick sentinel
#

or, where it can hit boss and then act as a large IP

#

to avoid some magic damage say

mossy peak
#

no it's pretty poor at that

#

compared to the competition

sick sentinel
#

hmm, one i got is old un-upgradeable 213 scale, and it shields for 25k abouts

#

thats like, 1/3rd my life pool

mellow bridge
#

What competition

#

Scale has no competition when it's about surviving a single large hit

sick sentinel
#

nothing in bag that will compete wit hit

#

bunch of 194's

mellow bridge
#

Yes, the absorb is bigger when it hits more targets but even then it's by far the best defensive target to live single big hits

mellow bridge
#

Aegis overall is def better for M+ but scale will still beat it on bosses generally

#

And might be better than aegis depending on the key

#

Like potentially PF

#

In a key like that you're not dying to a lot of hits, which is what aegis excels at, but instead to singular huge magic hits

#

E.g. Slimeclaws who can straight up global you in high fortified keys if you're not prepared

sick sentinel
#

really tempted to try to run a N pug or semi-competent group

#

i'd say LFR but, LOL.. lfr

mossy peak
#

so my replies are tailored at that

#

the replies after the initial one where i say it's lousy in raid, which it sort of is, for reasons already mentioned by others - that it's just not needed

exotic wadi
#

I'm trying to figure out what item to pick from my vault, and i'm wondering if there is a maximum to how much haste you want? like does it ever become irrelevant to get more haste.

#

Thoughts for parsing as NF on KT?

#

I'm thinking Nature's Fury, but I'm also eyeballing Reprisal

brave jetty
#

You can get a lot out of Reprisal on that fight

sturdy sable
#

you have AA up for most of the add phases

#

id go Natures fury

brave jetty
#

god it's nice to be able to run M+ again

without wanting to pound nails into my brain

took me half a run to stop expecting sang to pop out every time something died though

dusty flume
#

you guys see that opc skip for halls of atonement

#

I wonder if it's hotfixed already

although I love scale too much

dusky canopy
#

In your opinion, are explosives more of a group, specific classes, or a specific role responsibility?

mighty valley
#

ideally it's healer > tank > dps handling them, but i dunno, I just talk it out with the group

stray hemlock

Tank and bealer

deft hazel
#

necrotic wake nobody knows how to hook 3rd boss still

limpid kite
#

Tell your dps players to get bolster from affix and say it is 3%dam if they last hit it

#

They will focus explo more than anything else

deft hazel
#

also sfeel like im going to burn myself out trying to get a stupid shield

mighty valley
#

yeah hunting a specific item to drop is a recipe for pain

#

the odds are low and they're not getting higher

nocturne gale
#

so I understand everyone is saying run reprisal on legs but even with legs getting dom socket is reprisal legs still the go to and why?

mighty valley
#

legs don't have a dom socket

nocturne gale
#

Fatescribe Drops it

mighty valley
#

there is no socket on this

nocturne gale
#

ah I see

mighty valley
#

they changed it so that legs can activate the frost set bonus, but they did not add a socket

nocturne gale
#

makes more sense thanks!

mighty valley
#

np! it is an awkward change, it's pretty confusing

deft hazel
#

will i be stuck with a 152 shield for a month?

#

lol

#

did lfr last week and this week, normal/heroic terragrue and 20 mythic 0/+ dungeons, seen no shield drop

mighty valley
#

Are you doing Korthia? I've sold a million korthia shields

deft hazel

It'll happen soon, if you get real desperate it doesn't take a lot of pvp to get a shield

whats your current trinket?

It's a dps up vs fatescribe triniet

it gives you like 98 strength baseline

so if you have a shit other trinket

'Cos it's a horrible affix set

craggy pilot

Slimy Organ, is it decent?

urban portal
#

Not that bad on warrior tbh

median tulip
ionic fern
#

True.
We did a weekly key yesterday with 4 warriors ..it was fun.

urban portal
#

Intervene is so op

#

Didn't it break pvp tho

median tulip
#

I've gotten into the habit of setting my Fury Warrior friend as my focus target and intervening on him all the time. Saved his life from his stupid burst a few times ๐Ÿคฃ

urban portal
#

Not his fault fury generates this much threat

#

Only thing that comes close is havoc

#

Im fairly sure fury generates the most threat out of any melee

#

Maybe arms a bit more

#

Well other melees have threat mitigation

ionic fern
#

You shouldn't be losing threat regardless?

#

๐Ÿ‘€

median tulip
#

Yeah, it's because they have a healing component as well as the damage, so the threat is already higher than the damage, and then they have good burst. But intervene lets him burst high and survive, and gives me shield Block and Revenge procs, so it's all good

urban portal
#

It's just the burst threat

#

But I didn't know self healing creates threat

median tulip
ionic fern
#

That's a first.

urban portal
#

But they cast bt once

#

And it heals like 120

#

Shouldn't matter

ionic fern
#

Unless they start bursting before you've gotten a couple of globals in it shouldn't be a problem.

urban portal
#

Yeah it's mostly when both charges at the same time

#

Bear and dk definitely can't keep up

median tulip
#

Honestly I don't mind (in M+) him bursting like that. Intervene is there to be used

ionic fern
#

I played Seismic yesterday for some low'ish keys and was still intervening on CD.

#

๐Ÿ˜‚

blazing condor
#

i intervene as dps sometimes and get insta'd

Im a seismic reverb gamer. Already put reprisal in the bank.

I use both.

Depending on the people i'm doing keys with.

potent anvil

Just do 30k aoe dps

Only issue I have with seismic is that some healers are complacent with reprisal gamers...dont realize Ive yet to ignore pain...or even shield block ๐Ÿ‘€

๐Ÿ˜‚

potent anvil
#

True

bold bolt
potent anvil
#

I also get that siegebreaker power. 12% more dam for standing still. And like 10% armor but I think thats negligible?

blazing condor
#

id want some numbers on thorns vs siegebreaker

ionic fern
#

I tried that a couple of times but i'm too hyperactive to get any use out of it.

potent anvil
#

I feel the 12% more dam is better than stygian.

ionic fern
#

Just moving around 24/7

blazing condor
#

I have no issues standing still

#

but depends on the dungeon

ionic fern
#

I can't stand still..even just strafing from right to left.

#

๐Ÿ˜‚

blazing condor
#

if you get a late executioner in spires you can probably take siegebreaker

#

doesnt feel like barbs is worth for the last 2 bosses

potent anvil
#

I suppose I can test some stygian vs siegebreaker in halls this week. Executioner still first dps tormentor

polar hamlet
#

How bad is it to not have IP or shield block up in a pack ?

blazing condor
#

shield block should be up

#

ip doesnt really matter

potent anvil
#

But stygian did as much as my 252 phial last week overall in halls.

blazing condor
#

its not terrible but its like our main mitigation

polar hamlet
#

But you cant have 100% shield block up right ?

#

Specially not with seismic leggo?

blazing condor
#

with reprisal and HR you can

#

not with seismic

potent anvil
#

I guess it was also necrotic...so you kite more peepostudy

Thatโ€™s big facts

polar hamlet

So as a totall newbie, reprisal is the way ?

blazing condor

yes

Yup

Alright :)

reprisal is our best lego for every content

seismic is viable

What Do seismic do againpeepostudy

Revenge hits another time for 75% when you hit 3 or more

Revenge hits twice if u hit more than 3 targets

honestly yeah

#

if pwarr becomes super meta its just gonna be ass lol

#

cus of fotm players

ionic fern
#

Getting into keys and having the healers/dps'ers be like "what the hell was that?? I thought prot is bad" at the end of the key is a good feeling.

#

Ja, if we become fotm i'm gonna afk from discord. Have fun.

jagged pier
#

Please dont buff, we will get 'I saw Des do this' or 'plka do this' or 'noawh do that' and ill fucking REEEEEEEEEE

potent anvil
#

I like getting responses asking how I do so much dmg in keys. Little do they know...I spam one button yep

polar hamlet
#

Haha

ionic fern
#

The damage brakedown of Seismic is always fun to watch.

potent anvil
#

If I neglect shield block, my breakdown goes as high as 40ูช overall is revenge lol

#

Maybe higher depending on dungeon

jagged pier
#

Ive been asked that as well, and im like 'u dont want to play like me unless u know the spec well'

devout heron
#

is seismic really a thing

#

or memeing for extra dps

mossy peak
#

a bit of both

blazing condor
#

its a thing because its extra dps

#

more dps is not a meme

ionic fern
mossy peak
#

basically, it falls into the same old category of

ionic fern
#

๐Ÿ˜‚

mossy peak
#

if you aren't dying

#

or needlessly taxing the healer

#

then

#

stop over-surviving and deal more damage

#

it is the

#

epitome of that

potent anvil
#

I havent done super high prot keys yet, but I havent thought to myself that I needed reprisal to live. Only 18-21 keys so far though.

devout heron
#

''only 18-21 keys''

#

yeah so low bro casual

blazing condor
#

i mean 18 is kinda low ๐Ÿ˜„

#

but yeah 21 is 21

devout heron
mossy peak
#

think the point is more that hes not trying it in the level of key where you actively are taking enough damage that survivability becomes a focus

potent anvil
#

Im also 251 ilvl as prot. Need to get 252 weap and shield still.

mossy peak
#

and not a side issue

blazing condor

there is a point where you cant fuck around anymore because youll get your chocolate starfish blasted

who are the best single target pumpers for tyr?

mossy peak

it's better than the new one

#

the new one is terrible

devout heron
#

whats the difference

mossy peak
#

the difference between them is the sun king one prevents you from death

#

the new one brings you back after

#

so you lose threat and everything

potent anvil
#

You actually die and then come back

devout heron
#

oh my god

#

thats terrible

mossy peak

yep

why blizzard did such a thing

Hmmm. Genuine dilemma from my vault. BiS 252 Haste Vers Gloves (but a sidegrade from my 252 (Crit/Mastery gloves), a 252 Crit/Mastery Cloak (over a 242 Haste/Vers one) or 252 Crit/Vers boots (over 239 Crit/Vers)

mossy peak
#

how far into raid are you probing

#

on mythic

median tulip
#

logic says the boots, but IDK, the BiS gloves are tempting

median tulip
mossy peak
#

is pugging the first boss on the table

median tulip

on M anyway

Alright:) opening as prot for the first time when im home.

#

Give me a shield or onehander pls

potent anvil
#

My gear is mostly haste/crit yep
But haste/vers is the safer pick

mossy peak
#

i just ask because the first boss drops some of that stuff

#

so if you are not even doing the first boss on mythic, then the boots are the best of the choices you presented imo

True

you could break 50% on pull

Or go Korayn for first strike.

#

Crit gives parry, parry proc free revenge-->seismic value

potent anvil
#

M+ is like 90% melee usually or something

mossy peak
#

the unavoidable damage is almost all phys over the course of a key

median tulip
mossy peak
#

the avoidable stuff is all magic

ionic fern
mossy peak
#

so... dont get hit, and smash that interrupt

blazing condor
#

20% vers is only 10% DR anyway

#

so big magic dam will still kinda hurt

craggy pilot
#

lol when you are in Arms spec, and get invited to raid as tank, but they invite a 3rd tank, so now you have to DPS Pepexecute

potent anvil
#

Yeah..so magic stuff usually need to be controlled/kicked. Thats where full on dps comes in. Just kill it faster yep

mossy peak
#

the best way to mitigate magic damage is to do more dps and kill the casters faster

limpid kite
median tulip
#

The best it Spell Reflect

Every week

So I got the scale 252, the other items I already have or dont need. You guys still use scale for raid tanking? Or is it now pretty whatever.

*for me vault

yo guys started playing my prot again last week and managed a couple of 252 items in vault, but got legs (reprisal 235) and iqd

jagged pier
#

Both poop

buoyant ledge
#

is it worth to take legs and move iqd when i max or the trinket?

jagged pier
#

Not worth to take ither

buoyant ledge
#

not gonna kill last bosses with him for sure

jagged pier
#

Just get soul ash

buoyant ledge
#

But is it big deal to put reprisal in feet?

#

Didnt max it yet so dont really mind to do it

ionic plank
#

you can put reprisal on feet if it's only 235 atm

#

but when you go to 262 you're going to want it on legs for more stats

blazing condor
#

legs have more stats and you can get 259 feet from sylv

#

But i mean

ionic plank
#

in which case you're kinda wasting 5k soul ash

blazing condor
#

It doesnt REALLY matter

#

I wouldnt refarm them if i had them on boots

ionic plank
#

eventually it'll be better to have them on legs but if you've got sick legs in vault and only have the option of 235 lego then go for that

#

and in 9.1.5 you're gonna have soul ash/cinders coming out of your ears

buoyant ledge
#

yeah i mean cba crafting raid leggos at least for a long time, just gearing it cuz im done with bear and warrior is hella fun

#

but only for m+ and sneaking it into couple of farm bosses

ionic plank
#

well 262 legs + 252 boots is gonna be more stats than 262 boots and 252 legs

#

but at the end of the day, it's not a HUGE amount and it doesn't sound like you care about minmaxing that hard

#

on the warrior at least :p

#

in your situation I'd take the 252 legs and craft 235 reprisal boots because then at least my vault wasn't useless copium

Hallo! a newbe problem.. when we are in big pull how we can generete threat and maintain it while thunderclap is in recharge and cant spent rage for revenge? usually happen that some mobs run away

worthy karma

If you use ravager on pull as well it will help. If you are using reprisal legendary changing then revenging shouldntโ€™ be an issue. Then you also intervene for a free revenge cast to help. For me my panic button is always challenging shout our aoe taunt

mm nothinh at the moment

Sorry that was supposed to be in reply to Andrew not doughnut

craggy pilot

if you are Kyrian then you can probably replicate my opener, which is something like this:
Charge -> avatar -> ravager -> Spear -> Revenge -> shield block

then ur normal rotation

you want to go Reprisal bro, and then use Best Served Cold talent

and swap away from Never Surrender, it literally blows ๐Ÿ˜„

and do Anger Management

get rid of Never Surrender

oh there are talent changes up for 9.1.5?

thats the only thing

ah okok

if they just made Menace so all enemies would cower in place

that would be hella stronk

Nvm idk

Who the fuck plays menace anyways

strong forum

Menace was cowering in fear

#

yes

before SL

#

its literally a useless talent because fear breaks instantly when they take dmg

#

you cant do VDH sigil of misery stuff because its not ranged and by far not long enough

modern brook

Could be ok in pvp for set up with your prot fire Mage comp

if they just made it reduce Cooldown ๐Ÿค”

a new talent somewhere thats literally just Thunderlord legendary
๐Ÿค”

strong forum
#

choice on the frost guy doesnt matter

craggy pilot
#

maybe something that made Shield Slam interrupt

#

would be fun if there was a Reprisal build, Thunder Clap build, and Shield Slam build

#

maybe a talent that increases the Shield Slam DMG bonus from Shield Block to 50%

modern brook
#

Isn't that just punish

craggy pilot
#

nah, it just base 20% slam dmg

#

but then you could go Punish+Heavy Rep+ Shield block dmg

#

Shield Slam build for raid

modern brook
#

Tbh only talent change I want is old am

craggy pilot
#

ThunderClap or Revenge build for M+

#

what was old AM?

modern brook
#

All of our cds

craggy pilot
#

lol

#

sounds OP as fk ๐Ÿ˜„

modern brook
#

It was funny af

#

Or give teir21 back

#

Which was 0cd shield slam during battle cry

#

Or stop being afraid and give us interesting talents instead of zzz

craggy pilot
#

so something like:

Devastator Baseline
Dragon Roar to lvl 15
30: new talent: Heavy Shielding, increases Shield Slam bonus dmg to 50%, and causes Shield Slam to interrupt spell cast
Unstoppable Force: Now causes ThunderClap to reduce Demo Shout CD by 3-5 seconds

cyan onyx
#

OP talents with challenging mechanics is >

#

I dont think adding more interrupts is a good idea but I get where you're coming from.

craggy pilot
#

maybe call it Shield Bash, like the PvP talent ๐Ÿ˜„ and make it replace Shield Slam

modern brook
#

devastator shouldnt be baseline

#

froma like

#

game design pov

#

or more accruately

#

Devestate should not be removed from the spec

craggy pilot
#

why?

#

btw, how do i read the APL on raidbots.com? ๐Ÿค” i heard mwahi wrote it

modern brook
# craggy pilot why?

it complicates the class in a way that doesnt add anything until you look at numbers

#

Its currently only being used in all content cause its competition is war machine (a leveling/speed running talent) and punish, which is just undertuned

sweet summit
#

Do a small sim / quick sim

#

Click the "full HTML report"

#

The you can either go to "profile" (thats what i prefer)

craggy pilot
#

Devastator is just a horrible button to have

sweet summit
#

Or you can go to "action priority list" (looks confusing)

craggy pilot
#

ok i will try thx ๐Ÿ™‚

modern brook
#

Its one of those things thats a million times easier to do than explain ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

modern brook
#

like my point is just that devestator is not a defining aspect of prot - which goes against what baseline abilities should be

#

I'd so much rather see am be baseline

#

or like booming voice even

#

those are things that give the class meat

#

bv a little less so

#

iunno tbh i just dont want to do my job rn

#

so

#

get contrarian'd

craggy pilot
#

the other options of Devastator had to be vastly better for me to pick them tho... Just feels bad to have "Devastator" as a button to press, when theres already so many other buttons.... I never feel i have any downtime as Prot Warr anyway

always something to press
