welcome to why i hate halls
Question about Stat Weights for Prot. Are the ones on a WowHead guide devised with only tankiness in mind?
I ran a DPS sim (mostly to maximize DPS for Torg and find out if a Arms- Crit Mast Leggo is any good in Prot).
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/ibrohrpAozvFnLarYMG7Sw
ahahaha makes sense
if at least we were dk's xD
Can you have shield wall up for every obliterate combo on guardians or is the window to tight?
maybe with lego of shield wall?
So THIS weight I know is just DPS, but its inverse to that of Wowhead, and wonder if I hit soft cap
Weโll ya I mean with wall conduit and anger
i dont have the xp on raid for anwsering that but i would liek to know too
No, but you can alternate shield wall and demo shout and be fine. I usually have IP and demo shout up for second obliterate and wall is up for the third
but there isnt a iceblock tactic?
Ya Iโve see. People have it up for three just curious if it could be up for all four
Seen*
wowhead is most likely defensive focused with ilvl>haste>vers
and if you want to sim for damage i recommend using top gear, as stat weights like that fluctuate a lot with every little change you make with item/enchant/soulbind/legendary etc
Demo is up for all of them spell reflect up for all IP obviously but ya was just curious
right right, the stat weight was just after using a top gear sim. Im trying to figure out now that heroic raid tanking feel "trivial" (dont wanna jinx myself there) how to fit more dps in there. It seems that creeping some more crit gear in might help that?
ye crit is strong for damage
Thanks!
Hey, wanna try tanking in mm+, klegs or feet better for the leg pls? i see both and im a bit cnfused
legs is the preferred slot for reprisal
Legs are better because more stats overall, Easy to get boots from either M terrague or M slyvannas has 259 botts.
she does have nice boots
@patent osprey ty!
Super late and probs someone already answered but i havent managed to do it without The Wall
Is rank 2 blood set better than rank 5 unholy?
no it shouldn't be even close
Pretty sure you have it up with just AM?
Maybe Iโm wrong
Thanks, tanking for prog tonight and dont wanna be a hindrance
Just AM I donโt think gets you SW on every obliterate
I guess it just depends on shield slam procs and what? Haste
And this is pure talk as if using the wall AM and conduit
Random question of the day ๐
Would you spend 1000 Valor to rank up from 9 to 11 a non-BIS Main Hand that is Vers(high)/Haste(low) itemized and not Haste(high)/Vers(low)
Item in question is
What else do you have to spend valor on?
ive just been hoarding it. i have 4575 and have hit cap
upgraded a few things in the past
Realistically everything you upgrade with Valor can/will be replaced ideally so whatever gives you more of what you need is the way to go. I think weapons are a bit costly but if you arent spending Valor what is it good for?
To be more specific too, still nothing BIS
my gear is so crap i just upgrade anything with haste now
I'd hold for vault on Tuesday than upgrade if you don't get what you want
Hell yeah dude, progress.
I feel like first boss isnt entirely a prot tanks problem
other than some wacky long run away from a big slime, DPS should be handling that stuff
but grats on prog
Yeah. CC or burning add depending in the situation
i used my ghost busters trap on the slime this time
lol nice
works exactly like a ghostbusters trap
I went engineer a week ago after dropping mining. (Didnt want two crafting prof) but its literally saved runs since then
Engineering OP
have to be extremely careful not to put it on trash though cuz it just makes them completely immune to anything for 1 minute, and then they just revert to whatever state they were in
Engineering is feckin pogchamp
Sounds like it works like other classes hard CC but you dont have control over the recast like you would typically lol Im thinkin about that Warlock Aberration lock spell I cant think of
it acts like a banish, but has a chance to fail and banish thr user for like 5 seconds or somethinf
soultrap has Def saved some of my runs
there it is
2nd i hope
I feel like this Prot discord is the first time ive gotten oddles out of the community around a class or spec lol
thanks all for being so awesome
should i switch?
I really like Adaptive Armor Frag
Just remember armor frag gives you a tiny bit of bulk
hmm actually true
bulk right now feels better for me tho
im trying to push higher than 15 and im just 235 equipped ๐
200 NF conduit sounds like it wouldnt be better than Show of Force but yea, def Sim this if you want to maximize DPS output while tanking
halls eatd me in my 17
you could take the right path and take an extra end conduit too, thats an option
SoF is horrible.
^
Aye, well that makes sense too lol
It seems like Wowhead and some logs show Niya being a better option for a soulbind too. Id look into that
charge i hate that
well but korayn crit makes us do crazy dps
u saying niya can match it?
maybe i didnt got ya
Isn't niya taken for the extra hp
The ratio is ass
when you say eatd, you mean just slow or you keep getting chunked
Korayn is also snap aggro
i have to slow a bit xD
i will show u the run
i just save it to show
and learn
maybe i should kite more
i dont kite much , i try to kite as less as i can
also sometimes i dont use reprisal at max so all in all its my fault
just skipping around in the video, idk
I think the teams dps seems a bit low, (like that spriest isnt ramping well) looks like a comp issue
im no pro myself so im not sure. Im 235 right now too and 17 seem daunting
235 should be fine
235 is defo fine for 17s
people have done up to 22s with 226 gear week1/2 of S2
and i myself have done 17s at 226
i know, thats not what im trying to get at lol. Its just daunting due to finding people who wont fuck it up too. Its a team based thing and if a team isnt doing what they should, 226 or 250, youll still have a bad time
My only thought process for a 17, if you feel like youre getting chunked even after popping defensives, its a you issue. If youre mitigating efficiently and things go south very slowly, its a them issue
throws rock
runs
aahaha
my problem was
i thinked i could skip in halls 17
the miniboss before last boss
and the doors were closed
sadly
im 235 trying to do 17, but i may go down ilvl wise
im doing lfr for dom sockets
:d
How do you guys feel about prot war doing 20-22 in pugs without voice? Iโm working on mine as an alt (play prot pal) and feel like I rely more on the group to do their jobs well as prot war vs pal in terms of kicks and stops etc
i did all 20s in pugs without voice at the start of the season
ive done some 23/24s without voice recently and we were still able to time
But its def spooky and depends on the dung
but on hard pulls, its def better to type out the kick assigns
and waste the 10-15 seconds
than to pull blind
why waste time say lot word when few word do trick why waste time say lot word when few word do trick why waste time say lot word when few word do trick why waste time say lot word when few word do trick why waste time say lot word when few word do trick why waste time say lot word when few word do trick why waste time say lot word when few word...
โ๏ธ
What yeah cause u don't have baby sitter shield to cover up the fact that your dps are fucking morons
Like Sr is swag but it doesn't cover the same circle that having a kick up does
So are you saying itโs easier time on pal vs war?
Fair enough I guess I donโt really know the kicks all that well since Iโm used to pal and covering them myself lol
I'm saying of course you're noticing more kicks going through you don't have 2 kicks. One with a resetting cd
hmm, does OPC synergyze well with Elysian Might? ๐
extra 500 crit on demand with +25% crit dmg from Elysian ๐ค seems kinda meme though ๐คฃ
high crit gear + OPC
General conse sus is seismic is better for meme damage, reprisal is better for timing keys
Iunno I get the meme here but opc is stats so it suffers from dr
You're also moving all your damage into a 40-60s cd window
I'm not counting it out but over a 30 minute key
Idk I wouldn't be surprised if it fell behind notably
Yeah sure opc is fine
U don't need em to make it woek
I would argue any damage you block from the extra parry is lost to the self damage mechanic of the trinket
Do it
Opc is fine
I will say thay outside of aegis, you can probably get away with just simming damage on your trinkets
No defensive value you get out of any would outweigh that or compare to aegis
Can we have spell reflect up for every single Reaping scythe on last boss of ToP? I couldnโt figure it out in my last run
If you're lucky you can. Sometimes she takes slightly longer between casts. I think because some of the things that happen in the fight are linked to her HP%, and those delay the Reaping Scythe cast
@sweet kettle YO MY GUY
Which boss is the one that rocks prot the hardest in the raid?
Getting a chance to tank for raid today on heroic before moving to mythic tomorrow.
Personally when i was undergeared i struggled with Guardian
Other than that its probably sylvanas
Eye can hurt but it shouldnt be a problem on hc at all
Also eye only hurts if you mismanage your cds
You commit CDs to the death link
Shield wall + spell reflect for first then last stand + spell reflect for second or something
Should do the trick
Block only blocks the melee abducter ad
jeeze.
I've only done sylv normal for her fight, what's the big tank killer there?
her triple shot just really hurts or
which mini boss
Does death link count damage soaked by IP as 'mitigated'
So don't use shield block on the rest of fight ?
Is Aegis better for mythic+ rather than Raid? I have the dormizan trink and titan gland at the same ilvl
Looking for which of the 3 I should use for raid
aegis isn't good for raid
I mean you can for extra shield slam damage i guess ๐คทโโ๏ธ
But thats about it
You can IP for death link yeah. Usually worth to have up if you feel the need
so it doesnt blizzard fixed

i can target it but cant open the door
it isnt teh whole video tho
Pretty sure SR doesn't work on deathlink
It's physical dmg iirc
But even on mythic simply demo shout + IP is enough for it
And it's always up
@latent pier
The intermission is when you take the most dmg on mythic actually
You'll want defensives there once the debuff starts stacking up
And I guess in P3 since you're getting a healreduce debuff (of which you can SR the application btw) but the boss usually just melts at that point anyway
I just wanna prevent the raid from getting nuked, mostly.
Especially since I haven't done eye yet. >_>
Double ip + demo is all you need for that on myth
Probably even just one IP but with double IP the raid HP literally doesn't even move
Is it hard to get into tanking if you where dps the whole time ? I want to focus more on M+ but never tanked a M+
There's a lot of random knowledge you don't really pick up from DPSing but the rotation side of things is easier, so you have more brain to focus on everything else
It's hard to fail if you start small
Does anyone know of a rare that drops a decent ilvl main hand weapon? Running 15s with a 138 green atm and while itโs fine Iโd rather not explain to surprised healers that I can tank with it regardless
Okay, then we will give it a try. Friend is resto shaman so we will start small and low dungeons first to get gear from
tank + healer together who don't hate each other is a great place to start lmao
probably should buy it from the AH
or do korthia
Traitor Balthier, in the Desmotareon section of the Maw
He's Rare/Elite, but he's entirely physical damage so we can totally solo him. Just takes a while.
covenant campaign also gives a 187 weapon if you havent done that yet
how come ๐ i am switching to it :p
correct, working on that and for the rest i bought the 200ilvl gear set to start with + a shield
Atleast u have weap, i was runing with this trinks for some time in s1
246 shield. Block is strong
Its really good on slyvannas
I wish 
at least u do damage 
i thought thats how youre supposed to do it
I mean damage logs has alot to do with kill time how much your raid allows u to cheese adds etc etc as well or you taking the chances to cheese
Like the eye we phase just as an add spawns so i always taunt late on it so i can get it to my side of the platform for cleave
Yeah for sure its about cheese/speed
when we do m eye we kill ad before phasing
only real cheese i tend to do is delay spear if i know ads are about to come in
for like fatescribe/soulrender
Like u should anyway

But not using spear on pull of soulrender is sad :(
yeah 
i havent brained it enough to know when i should hold or nah
but i got my 99 on soulrender so idrc
Yer but hc soulrender u get like no adds
You can zap it like 1st ability and delay moving the boss a few seconds
Nah on mythic the adds are dead by the time u get it back well they are for me anyways
Even faster on hc
But ye, sometimes on fatescribe even that isnt enough to get spear back for adds
Ah shit
my guild isnt that good so i get more time 
Ye can only speak hc, i run to narnia to spawn it, get the time there
Guild tried to rekill sylv hc yesterday, on a smaller group, timers went bonkers on p2
sylv lines cds up p well imo
It used too
you get avatar/DS/spear on first burst in p2 then DS/spear back for first ads
then just mash through the encounter
Now spear was coming up late on p3 start instead of right as we start p3

feels really bad for that guy trying to tank 15s with green weapon
generally if i wanna off-spec dps for raids but play prot in m+ - do i pick kyrian or do i pick night fae - as i read in the guides they are almost equal on both parts, but which ones is the ''bigger'' hit in terms of performance?
It really doesnt matter pick your favourite
โ๏ธ
and i use bastion of might when off-speccing as kyrian or do i use the mortal strike one still (as arms)
i use reprisal as tank ofc
Depends on boss
you run enduring blow on single target and elyssian might on aoe
^^
RED.
TRUE


You're a rogue. You don't get to speak here. ๐ฆ
impostor
||amogus||
Tbh i'm secretly a MW so it's fine.
brew of the month but early
The gray item you did not loot?
Do you prefer Fury or Arms as DPS? Night Fae Fury is good, Kyrian Arms likewise. IMO.
Just equip seis and pump as prot
I prefer arms as i havent rly tried fury tbh
Go Kyrian then. Kyrian Arms is great. Frequent burst windows with Elysian Might.
Im NF prot on mythic plus, and fury, and nf arms as st raids
I felt better than on kyrian so far, but i keep switching ahahah
Its the fourth time i did
Kyrian EM is so stasisfaying
Both are totally workable, but Kyrian feels better for Tank and Arms to me ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Ou how it writes ahah
I went tank again as nf, i didnt tank mythic as kyrian only raids
I should take enduring blow for st with kyrian right?
Or for general use just use elysian Might?
whats deez nuts
bad rng wcyd
literally no counterplay
bruh imagine soggodon extra physical + 2 stichflesh dudes on tyrannical
No bueno with double on use.
Matrix+Aegis would be OK.
Aegis+Phial from your selections.
double on use is p shitty
but you definitely can play both scale and aegis
but you shouldnt need to
But whyy
I have been pursuing for Matrix+Aegis but I think Aegis is a folk tale as I have never seen it drop
neither exists 
I got HC Matrix on third week of raiding so it was ok
but the fact that Aegis has never dropped and I have seen mounts drop in the Nine
makes me go 
got a mount on my first nine kill lol
then got aegis traded to me after quite a while
one of our hunters got the nine mount then deleted it on stream
@crystal linden
fuck you
"About me" checks out.
It's still weird to me that a 226 aegis is better than a 246 scale, I feel like I'm being pranked lol
I vaulted 239 Aegis week 2 after I already had 226
so I have my own rng pain but kinda donโt associate any w that one
ez
A week in and youโre probably higher io than I am!
My 10 DoS rolled 11 SoA and I peaced for the week. 
Matrix+Aegis might be the goal but isn't OWS also amazing enough to replace Matrix?
All those trinkets are good
i just pray whatever my +13 slot is isn't tiny dick stats/slot
Aegis great on use, makes you semi invincible for 8 seconds. Matrix good mixture of def and off potential in keys. OWS is just a lot of our best stat
if i see a good trinket i probably grab it instead
ah god what if its that stupid slow stone from SD or HOA
ill help dps some 15s for you on my ele shaman. my alt is a prot warrior and ill be able to help
I dont think ive ever died with aegis up
Like you are literally invicible it feels like
Then you might get instad as soon as it drops but
Its also good for dots!
Blame dps for no dps when stuff hasnโt dieded when aegis falls
Hi, is there any addon/wa for spell refect, or some spreadsheet of list of spells that can be reflected?
check pins

tnx
Thinking about joining you year of the spear Boys again just to mix things up

๐๏ธ 



i cant wait for 9.1.5 to go back to spear. i really like NF itll just be fun to swap it up
why is that?
33 ilvl upgrade, i have the chest, but not the rating to upgrade it, bracers are versa mastery speed
Macro the trinket into some of your abilities to make use out of it
Or track the oozes with a wa
Otherwise you may as well not equip it
i remember nomeratur terlling me not to use this trinket in the past bceause something about "it takes 2 whole minutes t get 9 slimes, and they don't heal for that much"
Exactly, it isnโt a grand trinket
But if you gonna use it, may as well set it up properly
probably best option i have out of what i can take

Necrolords only true covenant!
Yeah bit let's be real necro is the coolest covenant
100%
not calling out the Necrochads, just calling out banner
but now we have all these great memes to help us decide between AA or Spear!

Just to confirm, slimy consumptive organ is very bad trinket yes?
My 3 heroic slots are all items I either don't need or have already. And I have 1 mythic slot with a 240 something organ
Should I still grab the trinket? ๐ฉ
well you can either grab the trinket and experiment or just take research 
Yeah, might take the research... Sigh
Thinking of switching to necro
Guild lost all paladins so now bringing a holy cow for devotion and AH
And still need to get a necro to unlock the story for 9.1.5
Or soulbinds or whatever
Goodbye pug weeklies i guess
Yeah ok go for it
find a ret pally to run with and pop banner when you see them golden wings
Think some of the fun might be to line up some random guys cds and facepalm myself after
is there another way to get a lรฉgo dropping from CN ? i dont want to go there
sadly no, LFR it
in queue since 45 min 
thoughs guys? good enough dps?, top hitted a bit hard
now i have a sd 17 wish me luck
thoughs can be criticism im fine with it, i want to improve
i can show my run too
i did normal way, clear each room one by one
not trying to do crazy stuff
i think im not being able to keep good enough shield block uptime tho
sd should be fine, try to use venthyr lantern for 2nd boss and thats a roll
im not using maximize lego
you would see a big pull for lantern?=
*say
so more dmg for boss even?
yh, try to get these juicy 10 stacks for 2nd boss
if youre doing pickup, i would recommand it
pickup? sorry
pug
yes i puggint it
with 4k6 i would say youre not using best served cold
no ppl for sd joined me, maybe cuz ilvl, or ppl dont want to, im going to try a necrotic 18, i should know route better for necrotic tho
you dont feel comfortable with it ?
im spamming revenge, maybe to much IP
are you using booming voice atm ?
oh nice
best served cold is better to M+, but BM wont give you rage anymore
i wont be able to look at full run, but youre using so much IP around 80% HP, trust your heal and try to use it around 25/30 depending of packs
you need to combo more avatar+ravager
BM is not giving you rage when not talented
be careful when using leap and charging back, youre getting hitted on the backon arrival, try to focus 1st mob and not the far one
you can pick logs for % block
im confused is the question "why did the guy leave", "is the guy justified in leaving", or "why did i die"
i dont get it why he left
i mean i understand we wiped
but that was reason for me i guess
yeah he left cuase yall wiped to first boss nw
i mean but thats a good enough reason? he wasnt doing that much better than us all
There's hardly ever a good enough reason to leave a key you started
The only reason would be chain wiping to no avail
fuck that
i pay to play this game
if the team im with is trash im outie
was rte trash? i unno probably not
who cares just queue the 17
"Trash" lul
rarely they trash
and i feel does who leave are the ones trying to get perfect runes on their raider ios
committing to a dead key cause you started it is a
move

If everybody agrees to quit the key, sure
But I ain't ever leaving just because something didnt go as planned
how much u pug bullfango?
death cuz one wipe?
or even 2 wipes?
People have different approaches to 'how to leave a key'. Some leave after 1 wipe if they are going for IO since they see the group as 'a waste of time'. This is most common at higher key levels when the only reward is score.
In a 15, its more common for people to grind it out since it is generally done for the ever important weekly lottery
However, there are also the people in higher keys who after one wipe will say 'we continuing?' and then the group comes to a consensus on what they should do and its much more polite and well mannered
generally "we continuing?" means "i'm pessimistic right now, but i'm willing to give this boss/key one more shot, then i'm leaving"
I mean pretty much
I mean
I'm not condoning that guys leave
I think yall could still time it
But you'd all have to play a lot tighter than tou did
i've been doing my own keys and not leaving as much, last week at least
fort tornadoes isn't alot of fun though
You have to remember, in the pug world, you arent allowed to wipe or make mistakes
I don't do my progression in pugs
So not often
but a 18 NW wipe on first boss is still easy timable
ez two chest even if they dps is high enough
you get to see ALL of the ways mythic + can kill you when you pug
kill you in game or kill your soul
yup
+11
wait.... it was a 11
ahh there u go
well i have myself in this game
so i pug
i aint leaving
Join a guild and make some friends ๐
i get aotc last tier
honestly
thats how you learn to hate wow
100%
i ahve a guild
awesome ppl
not the best players for keys
well before wow i didnt had much anything
so
I cut my prog keys by 5 levels casue i would rather be progging with friends than pugging
i joined shadowlands
we got up to about where i left off pretty quick
im above average at my eyes im having fun , any key is fun
i aint leaving if im having fun
u cant selfish like leaving , i want points to, but get experience

by doing mistakes
welcome to pug life my dude
its terrible, which is why I avoid it like the plague
so we had to better in the next 30min
The mindset is completely different then if you are playing with friends. Its not about learning. Its about rewards and getting in and out as quickly as possible
Its cutthroat, harsh, and thoughtless and its all about the individual and what they can get out of it
i mean
honestly thats just negative confirmation bias and nerds thinking they're better at a video game than they are
it istn about learning?
well with friend u can also lower one key lvl
and go again and push there
but saying "kek" and leaving without saying nothing more
when u not even doing the best of the group is ๐
for most people its just to time the key
I aint going to defend his actions. All I can really do is attempt to explain his behavior and make sense of the logic that went into the 'kek' /leave
Does anyone know if it's better to use a Dom shard piece or a higher ilvl piece if you are doing none raid content? I've got three shard pieces for my set bonus, I already swap the gems for M+ but I'm wondering if i Should be targeting higher ilvl pieces in those slots for doing M+, since the set bonus doesn't work. How much value are the indivudual shards
Shards on their own are quite strong
m+ shards are worth it
I cant give you what they are worth in terms of I level
but in most cases, they are worth more
the 3 damage shards and kyr are very good
^
even when I'm usine 239 heroic pieces instead of 252 pieces?
yeah
I never take off my Shard of Kyr
Cool that's kinda what I thought
thank you for ur thoughs guys tho
Shard of Kyr gang for life
I couldn't find anywhere online that really talked about the value in the shards outside of the raid vs higher ilvl stuff
the thought process behind "ilvl>all" is that you're getting mroe value out of more stats than you are better stats. This is lost on dom slots because the gems give you more than the difference in ilvl's stats would - even before sets are taken into consideration
the 5th slot is defintely up in the air
i personally only use the 4
(and not cause i only have the 4)
My advice though; if you really want to push keys look for people in your guild who want the same and team up. Or find a new guild that fits that need. I'm going to tell you now, there are lots of guilds out there, heroic/mythic prog guilds, that love to have extra tanks hanging around to just do keys ๐
I only use 3 cause only three socketed pieces have dropped for me ๐ฆ
Kyr + frost and blood dps ones
๐

@sick sentinel There are usually some communities too for key running, not sure if they are better then rando pugs, I haven't had a lot of issues with them so far
communities also good. Still think guilds are better though
for sure
But not everyone switches guilds to play with better ppl. I play with a guild of real life friends, most of them kinda suck lol, but I'm not gonna switch guilds to do high keys
so communities are a nice stop gap
communities are a very underutilized resource.
part of that is UI, I think if they made communities funciton in game a bit better we'd sue them more lol.
100%
I guess discord also covers a lot of the functions that a ingame community has anyways except for invites
guildies are better
i raided mythic 4/10m as healer last tier, this tier i hadnt time for mythic raiding
and keys u can do anytime
also im on doomhammer there isnt much guilds, i didnt know the server, and im really good friends of this ppl they are good up to 16, but i feel like lackluster to more than ksm
So I have a question im sure is asked dozens of times... but outside of raid (and the maw), dom sockets are still useful but would a 246 or 252 eventually do better than say a heroic piece with a dom socket? Notably pieces that arent even bis too? (assuming the dom gem is maxed out)
im not the best myself but above average i would say
will take a look at communities better
or discord channels ones
last time i joined a community it felt like pugs/lfg
okay
imean it depends on the shard
its my though, like the absorve seems crazy
so i tested out the organ stacks and it takes 45-50 seconds of being in melee range getting hit to build 9 stacks of slimy consumptive organ gluttonus, this is the amount it heals for
so 1 free health pot
17.3k total with 2 crits its a 246 one
so, 17-18k after 1 second and wait for travel and 45 second wind up
though wowhead says : Pretty useless. Extra health may save your life, but probably won't. The healing is negligible.
it says "taking damage has a high chance" so i don't know what the PPM is, but i imagine it has some kind of cooldown before another stack can be added
maybe, if you have a bunch of mobs on you, you can get it closer to say 30 seconds and you are just mashing it whole time. bleh, i'll replace when i can
aproxx 9 + haste
17-18k healing vs a 39k absorb shield that scales with vers. Or a 6k per hit absorbing trinket both with of which deal damage.
By comparison it's sadly pretty shit :/
On the other hand, 252 decanter of Anima charged winds goes pretty hard ๐
233 OWS vs 203 Hynmal in M+
for Prot?
Lol this is a troll
Why not both
I hate Dom sockets. Just valor upgraded my Darkfrost helm (BIS) only to get a 239 Crit/Haste dom helm that does better on paper.
Yeah but more damage
Worth keeping the other helm around for m+ when your 5th dom shard doesn't do much
Idk I get it but I dont
s'what my top gear is at for 3 mobs (my dungeon slice isnt done but I dont really like using it anyhow).
Gearing just feels non linear, and maybe it just feels weirder because Im main tanking for once. Everything is a judgement call
Dungeon slice sim isn't optimised
that anima field might not stay for m+ also, id likely use my Aegis
Don't bother simming it
Yea I know, its just something to glance at lol but I know this
waited 15 mins for it to finish only for it to tell me to use another dom socket piece xD
15
was sd
sd15
but seimsmic is pretty sure way better to pump as warrior
i will get it tmrw ๐
A well abused SD can produce insane numbers that's true
yea
Still confused that you could get 9k out of EM tho
i mean, whats more important is
the rogue, the boomkin both had 2.5k r.io and the shaman had 2.2k
It's a boomkin what do you expect
yer but boomkins are trash
They can't deal dmg outside of 24s
and 15s nothing lives long enough for good dps to do dps
A boomkin can only do dmg in low keys if you 100% play around them and and they're NF
A venthyr boomkin dealing dmg in m+ is hard to pull off, such a bait covenant
mostly invited for single target arround 2.5k io
Which is correct to do this week, rogue should've been sub tho
Sub rogue owns
Love the playstyle of funneling aoe into mad St pump
So good for m+
It's for a reason tho
90% of them do 5k or less damage in keys
We want AP classes, gief the feral
resto okay other spec its a big no
Not rly
A boomkin should just learn to press CDs
And not hold for that 1 big pull in 17 minutes
Or only hold CDs for bosses
It's better to use CDs on CD, than hold them for 2+ minutes
It really is that simple
Like, I once had a boomkin that held his CA for 7 minutes in Soa because he said he was waiting for big pull
Like BRUH
It's soa, there are no big pulls
Everyone should be using CDs as often as possible from what I was told. If you arent using it you'll get less uses of it and it's less total damage done
So blast that shit, unless the pack is going to die before you get most of the duration in
Exactly
see the biggest mistake ppl do is they hole cds because they want them with lust but dont think they can use their cds with like 20 seconds left on lust because their cds last 20 seconds
so u loose a use there
like every key i see that
The only reason to hold is, you not getting the full window, a pull coming literally next after this where the CDs are needed
Everything else, please for the love of God, use your CDs even if its just 4 mobs
that goes for most ppl playing their classes
that's literally the problem with venthyr in low keys though lol. if the tank doesn't give you a reasonable pull everything dies before you actually do your ramp dam
you at least gotta chain for em
but "pros" play it xDDD thats why ppl play it
or they'll chain for you ๐
I don't mind chaining if it's within reason
but cant u keep surge up by shape shifting and healing tho?
Ya but that's not dmg bro!!?
early sure
late in the ramp that's inting
and it tends to work out that the pack dies about 3 seconds before you were gonna blast off
If theres nothing to attack
that's why i usually just drop FOE on a new pack's head
You have no choice
you would say as prot, kyrian becomes more value as more u push higher keys?
wondering ur thoughs that one i dont have opinion lets go a debate
What soulbinds do you use?
Not much discussion to be had
Both NF and Kyrian are equally as good with both their merits
Kyrian gains value with a resto shaman
NF gains value in hoa
why so? i didnt know that
Kyrian is more frequent dmg
NF has first strike
Resto shaman can't cleanse disease OR poison
em as kyrian u go like alot more crit?
ahhhhh makes sense forgot that, i played resto but forgot totally
It's crit dmg, not crit chance
With EM
And you don't play EM
So it's a moot point
Always
You only play seismic in lower keys or for pad
It's just a recent e-peen race going on in here
No it's not a push legendary
Just for fun
Reprisal is the 2nd best legendary in the game across all legendaries of all classes
Eh maybe 3rd
Is pinned
I got you
if there is alot of melee in ur group into the fray can have more value than ravager?
the questions keep coming x>D
Ravager = M+
ITF = Raid
This is what I've always seen.
No
no to what? xD
Just no to itf gaining value
You'll always have 5 stacks in almost all situations in m+ with itf, it works off of enemies too
i have no idea wtf is going on in this clip
And it's just not better or in m+
13h24m run of a +17 and 915 deaths
It's the meme this guy does
He takes undergeard people, and himself into high keys and wipes for up to 24hrs in there
He isn't good himself
They just brute force keys with bad people and undergeard people
That's all his content
If you check this guys rio, he has tons of keys done and not a single one is timed, most keys around 2-3hrs. Some end up taking up to 20hrs
oh so like asmon goes for mount, doesn't drop, reee.exe
hard to believe a guy like that exists
If people will watch it, someone will do it
why push high keys when you can just make low keys challenging instead
Well he does do up to 23s
With undergeard people
And Bad people
This clip is from very early s1
that's just a normal guild group with extra steps
He ended up buying boes for his healer in this run
For several million gold
The healer started at like ilvl 200 in this run
They often couldn't get past first intermission cuz the healer would be oom and everybody would tick out
Cuz bad players
Tried recording some videos for my channel on a Friday night. Some of it was funny. Here are some highlights.

No Saves
Keyboard controls only
Sou...
They enjoyed doing that?
this guy plays doom and his meme is he plays only with the keyboard controls, no mouse
that's just how we all did it originally anyway
which, is totally do-able, but its not fun
believe it or not, mouses were a bonus for a long time and originally only came on macs
I thought doom was all keyboard
well, you might have used the keyboard, but if you did you were bad
and i know this because wolf3d had the option to play with mouse and even that was way easier with mouse
mouse control in the original doom matters less than you think because there isnt really any vertical aiming
it's obviously better but
not like a more modern 3d fps
makes precision and smoothed out, or quick aiming is the argument
i'm just saying it's not really a challenge run, it's kind of just how it was originally played by many
a relic long forgotten by the omnipresence of mice
ah, i mean i did probably use KB controls for a long time, especially for wolf3d, they did have the option to use mouse without any modifications though and it worked well
Also an argument could be made that doom isnt exactly a precision shooter kind of game
But yes mouse helps a lot. I guess playing a shooter today without a mouse would feel weird
And clunky
hey fellow warriors, any good plater profile? Also, how do i disable default ones from blizzard if i have plater? ๐
they do in the manuals suggest using it, but anyway this is boomer "quake was a good game" *sip monster engery zero" territory
speaking of which, they have an update mod thing for it, looks way we thought quake did back then
https://wago.io/7wheg8v9y don't know if it applies to you, but this is M+ one i'm currently using
just, i change my bar to be green=have threat on it, yellow=low threat, red=nothreat on everything else
Stat prio for protection warr? for M+ only
Dom
Ilvl > haste > vers >= crit > mastery
Super, ty for quick answer! ๐
u take dom socket
because its better
๐
dom >> ilvl > haste > vers >= crit > mastery
cus blizz makes shit systems
Because they provide a full 1%+ damage bonus or absorb shield OR MORE in addition to base stats. If you did a lot of Sims you would notice that small stat changes rarely change a full % of DPS where itemization is concerned. A full 1% DPS increase while still giving stats is insane.
Dom socket are busted
Thats my point. If 1% is a huge change than 3% is massive
It makes sense in my brain but in sure I skipped a few steps in explanation.
good for u your 6 ilvls higher than me
this any good?
yea
better than a Death Gods Signet 236 without socket?
probably better than what you got, and socket, and can upgrade up
Death God's is H/M?
yes
thought Death God is BIS because it has so high Haste
Stitchflesh #1
Death God #2
but i guess Bloodoath is also good, as Crit is probably miles better than mastery
I guess it depends on "for what". The crit definitely pumps harder damage-wise
in this case "more stats is better stats" unless you want to spend to add socket to the DGS
The socket alone makes it god tier
ye thats what i thought
It being crit haste is a cherry on top
but im out of Valor ๐ฆ
lul
What stats do you focus on for damage?
if i have 246 Stitchflesh ring w no socket
230 craft ring with socket
and 236 (246 potential) with socket
should i use the 2 with socket?
I feel like 650 haste+OWS is enough haste to start to bring in crit/verse
650 haste is kinda low
800-900 haste is comfy
But yeah, a health mix of crit/vers/haste is big damage
Haste scales better into aoe
And crit vers are just crit vers
OPC as a prot?
id run OPC in a seismic build
i dunno if u saw or not, but it was legit my best upgrade today sadly, at least terms ilvl
Is aight
Shoulda taken the research
cuzi i got the chest equipped, and the bracers are trash
i'll replace it with some valor thing asap if i can, least i got one
was all my own key, deplete or not
Any tanks want to fill for Mythic Sod bosses 1-3 tonight in 40 minutes? Guild farm with some possible pulls on soulrender
yogi for skyhold weekly
Dang. I respect your own key, depleted or not. Wish you got better rewards for your work ๐
i think i just did my best dmg as prot
5.8k average in a 13 key xD
best served cold is way better and i wasnt using it xD
i was carrying 2 low geared guildies today in a +10 ๐คฃ
thought you had been told multiple times ๐
in the future, a 23 ilvl upgrade on bracers is way way way better than a bad trinket
no matter what stats are on them
What u think fellas since i have 252 scale and aegis 239 , should i open vault as arms / fury maybe ill get nice dps trink
how's your shield?
Hi everyone!
Has anyone got a rough estimate on exactly how much better blood set is compared to unholy?
Trying to get some info on general use like survivability/healing etc, not dps only
i think blood also adds defensive value, which unholy doesnt do
byt thanks will check it out!
you can check some logs for heal output of blood link
blood set is like 6-700 hps if thats whatyoure looking for
If this q is for me , this is what i have atm
yeah, i'd roll as dps for phial mostly
Bro war has dog shit loot , on dh i got 252 pox , the same day phial , another pox , and war is chilin with those 2 trinks
Think i have 1 -2 crit haste rings in my bag
Crit haste probably better if the ilvl gap isn't massive
Think i can upgrade it from 236 to 246 , gonna check when im home after work 
tfw you've been offered Viscera of Coalesced Hatred three vaults in a row

oh, AND shoulder slot
I think shoulders only 2 of those 3 weeks though
still, it's been nothing but terrible deja vu every tuesday.
Oh no, how terrible, 2 of the best defensive trinkets in the game

Gz
latern bonus is crazy
so i found out that instead of going 33 haste i could go for way more vers
xD
ty everyone here , im so happy
Hour before raid, only person who still needs a shield
Internet goes down for four hours


Just got R5 blood today! Straight-up 200dps/hps increase.
โฆand my guild is canceling raid tomorrow. Pug life for me this week
Ooof
Im the guilds 3rd tank. Only used when one of the mains dont show. 252 quantum any good for tanking? I dont have any other tanking trinkets atm
Not 100% sure why, even after looking at the video, but got totally deleted first 2 packs of dos 12
I'm assuming I stood in spinning blades and then not sure about pull 2
Why the fuck is M tarra hitting so much harder when I have the fire remnant?
He was slapping me for like 71K through block
the small skeletons do a nonblockable melee hit so they can be pretty tough to face tank
qq is trinket from the 9 any good? i just got one
it's great for m+
yeah it's an extremely good M+ trinket
okay good i mostly just tnak M+
is running scale + that good? I dont like running 2 on use trinkets but having double defensives sounds nice
9 trinket is kinda op
dont run double on use, run matrix/ows/afe/phial with aegis instead
fair
I was wondering if i should replace my scale or if i should replace my phial
i assume phial + aegis is the play?
thats a solid setup yeah
aegis + scale is good though
god i hate tanking fortified
beg the group to kick wicked bolts before the run
by time we're at Halkias the DH has 6 interrupts overall, not a single one on wicked bolt lol
so this happened on my monk
why does the game do this to me?
ah last one was a 249
I've literally never seen a 252 weapon from vault this season
Every week I get a garbo trinket and at least 1 piece that overlaps with dom slot
been like that for me with warrior
that belt is kinda juicy idk ๐
i have 252 belt alrdy tho :<
and have haste vers cloak 252
but ye thinking ill go with either Crit Haste Cloak or Haste Vers Belt on one of those
my shaman getting loaded tho holy shit ๐
NICE
got the same on my wlock and jaithys on warrior this week was good
aw man lucky asshole ๐
i got fking 8 weeks in a row with 4+ rewards every week
and 0 weapon so far
stupid vault doesnt like me ๐ฆ
dont wanna have to spend 3000 valor to upgrade my 2h
today i will finally craft my leaper
i didnt get jaithys in vault 
but i also didnt have a mythic vault
and i also didnt have my lootspec set to arms

lul why leaper? 

for the memes
To leap away from my problems
