also, the new video i posted today at the 20m:35s mark, pulled the mini boss and accidentally fell off the ledge, suppose i didnt get the healing reduction debuff that way at least
?
So like
Tanking mythic Sylvanas
has to be the least pleasant activity in this whole game, right?
I mean this shit is just the worst ever
tbf i'd fully expect final/2nd to final boss of current raid to be hard as fucking balls, especially on mythic
tell me if im high
would leaper not be a good legendary on painsmith for more uptime on the boss
like in P2 leaping straight back to the boss over the creeping spikes
i don't know if you're high
but you are wrong
how many times is that going to actually help you over an entire encounter
4 max, right?
if you're desperate for uptime, beg for a roar/tiger's lust/wind rush and save the leap for the run out
is there a way to get safely back over the creeping spikes
or do you just have to chill
time an intervene really well
@sweet summit @strong forum broke 9k 
Game is easy 
wicked
just slap the 252 ring on
stats are literally irrelevant
im just using arms gear on prot
ye might aswell do that. I thought vers was important, but obv. not
Rings are one of the slots where ilvl doesn't matter. However, the answer depends on how much Haste you are getting from the rest of your gear. I, personally, would use the Haste ring, and furthermore I would gem and enchant it for Haste. But that's partly because my Haste from the rest of my gear is relatively limited. Your choice may be differently constrained by your available gear.
i would take the haste ring too
NF leggo is for pure parsing
if you are still progressing a fight, you should most likely run reprisal
or the wall depending on the fight
how bad can be decanter
i had it in bank for a long time xD
that and grim
i have so many trinkets xD
neither of those are top tier
seems you have phial just keep it
Both are ass
Decanter is less ass
Maybe I'm playing mental gymnastics because I have a 252
so i been playing as prot past few weeks - - question are some weeks affixes just harder then other weeks for tanks ? ? I been told I am good tank by people - and a very bad tank by others
i have phial and matrix
and was jus scrolling all my trinkets
and remembered to ask
group makes a big difference
u go to interrutps in the end of dungeoun and see
always teh same
i always win the interrupt game
thanks - so I should stay a tank since I enjoy tanking
thanks Rte
Yes
@sullen trellis it really depends in a bit of factor but ofc u can improve like shield block uptime and stuff
even I have SO SO much to improve
😐
today i failed a bit on shield block always trying to dps with revenge haha
thanks - my moto is every day I have something to learn
There comes a point where you can't do anymore
Aka dying during shield block to melees
as long u do above average u fine!!! !
trueee
also depends so much in some groups
in healer dps sense
i had today 2 dudus from pug
one went cat form doing 3k dps
other was afk
when we were full
0
not even moonfie
moonfire*
i even print
alright - just like dpsing groups can FAIL
but most of the time is interrupts i feel like
or ass pulling and not u, only if u feel u taking massive hits
thats where u know there's something wrong
dspite some mobs hit hard like bears at halls
ip on 6 not looking like good keybind still, going to try it on both 8 and shft 1
i''m not sure, tell me what kind of footage you are most interested in seeing for all like 5 of you who are invested even slightly
keys where i fail and go over time? keys where i get it by a 1 chest lots of wipes/deaths or none
whatever it is that's holding me back i'm not going to stop till i figure it out
i'm doing logs as well
Post some logs
Well, if there is a certain way a key gets done then i can show it, and we or I can go over it until a pattern starts to emerge that can be addressed.
I think its not intuitive looking for these kinds of things in these logs
Has to be some thought pattern or not watching screen that's got me
i havent done much i had to quit for a bit , i do have reprisal. i was just wondering if it was worth it
is icyveins/wowhead still the way to go for any changes IF any
When you get in a car accident, it's not cause the gas pedal is on the wrong side
the keybinds arent the issue
That is probably the best analogy I’ve ever heard
IP on mousewheel up 😄
Icy veins is telling me to go down left side of mikanos... There's no way that's ideal right? Losing control of your phial.... For no upside?
It's for the more offensive of the two setups and can/should be used in raids.
On the m+ page you can see the alternative:
Thanks mwahi
Right now I have
kleai setup for arms PvE
Pelegos setup for arms pvp
And mikanos for m+
That was the plan
I was gonna try to set up mikanos for m+ and raiding
Just have to relocate a few of the powers
This is what I'm currently running, and I'm not sure how to reconcile trading between these two and which endurance to sacrifice
I have a couple ideas, just trying to figure out how best to move the endursnc conduits around
For Prot m+ and raiding?
Yeah
Thinking something like this
That's fine.
I got the reduce fall damage-corner and the TC-Damage-conduit instead of the blue fragment, but otherwise it looks the same. And for srms i switch to the left wing (potency for overpower) and the tc-conduit for ms
I managed to hit 228 today, got funneled pretty hard, what is your preference for vers in m+? I typically was aiming for 30%+ on my vdh, but my warrior doesn't seem to need that much
Use Adaptive instead of SoF.
What on earth.
I'm running like..3%?
There's no set amount of vers you need.
Just follow the rule of:
Ilvl->Haste>=Vers>Mastery/Crit
Ilvl rule can be ignored on dom pieces.
Kk, I've often played around with high verse for vdh, but prot warrior feels different. Does that rule change in high high keys?
Nope.
Ty. Warrior feels really nice in keys, ya ked some low keys this week, 13top at 208 wasn't an issue
It feels good if you know the basics of it. There are plenty of people who struggle to do 10's even at higher ilvls than yours.
But glad you're enjoying it.
Yeah, it's been an absolute blast. VDH was quite... Spikey. Even at 30% vers
Jeah, two different mitigation models.
But then 9.0.5 happened and everything was nerfed to hell by then. If you had a single bit of advice to give an experienced tank (on all classes but current warrior) what is a single tip you'd give them?
challenge youself, don't be a turtle all the time
never play turtle
For me every numeric keybind that is not 1 or 2 is pretty much unusable, i have ip on V
memorize what casts can be just stunned / feared and what casts requires an interrupt ( top, bone spike requires an interrupt or the mobs will just recast it, the necrotic volley can just be stunned or feared since the mob is a humanoid, and you don't need to use interrupt on it)
still pissed over the guy with 250 ilvl on tara hc playing splinter + scale and full turtle powers

ppl be ppl
they shouldnt be
TANK MEANS TANK


Tanks using tank trinkets is like teenager riding a bike with training wheels on

Facts
Cant do big dam with tank trinkets>why do you even tank
maybe if i made the NF lego i could break 10k overall
I believe.
Would have to do torghast for that so doubt it
Just be me and take the Ash from weekly vault.
What’s the best ally race for prot my friends and I are gonna level some ally characters but have no clue about their races I’ve played horde for the past 10 years
Dwarf
dark iron dwarf
Doubt it
Male draenei 
Mechagnome!
guys I looted a 252 aegis with avoidance on it last night
and had to trade it to our bear because i raid as fury

id rather just gquit tbh
worth
alternatively just dont loot the boss and grab it from the postmaster 
nahhh I don't play a ton of prot that'd be toxic
I didn't even think about it tbh
I just looted and was like 'oh wtf'
thats what im doing in our KT kills rn
tryna get Jaithys
but we stopped raiding so jokes on me i guess

I wouldnt have traded that shit
They can make you feel obligated to trade it away, but you aren't really obligated other than by a word made with friends
@ionic plank let me teach you a little trick called mailboxing 
Should've made em pay for it
WTB matrix 100k
I'm not obligated, just always had the mindset of helping the raid progress over getting stuff for myself when it comes to gear
I play prot sometimes, for fun, in weekly keys
he is our raid tank and we're progressing mythic
loot that drops in raid isn't "mine" just because it's personal loot
Nah seriously fuck em, most people will fuck you over and take everything they can get out of you
Our guild policy was and always has been, you only trade what you want.
You can even disenchant a piece infront of their eyes when they could need it

our aegis!
yogi is sptting some truth, make him SF already
:PauseChamp:

🛠️
cross server emotes when 
devalues my skyhold only emotes
devalue deez nuts bro
📉 🥜
gottem



yo, this is more of a fun question. What's the best overall you guys had in a dungeon? Had a few prots blasting like 9k overall in mists, which is ridiculous to me.
ive done something like 10,5k in NW
somewhere between 10-11
but i dont really remember
guys i just did 9.8k dreamweaver signet arms, buttt tmy question is ,dreamweaver can be better in tyranical weeks cuz haste? for protection ofc
But that's weapons tho, let's exclude nw
NW is not a place to look for overall
9k is doable in mists for sure
ahahhahaha
Okay
it still a top 10 run for pwarrs in nw +15 
ive done 8.5k and im kyrian
so NF with koryan and seismic must be close to 10k
my question is dreamweaver m+ prot? yey or nay?*
in tyranical cuz haste
or try and see? korayn is crazy good cant deny that

Wtf am i looking at
nw 4 pwarr skyhold weekly
what trinkets ishould look for with legion m+? before its gone
from legion or for legion?
What leggo does most dmg?
seismic reverberation for m+
but u do not play it without knowing the class well as u loose all defensive value the class has pretty much
as we get that from a leggo
a different one
from the dungeouns of legion, i didnt play it, so i dont nothing much about what was good there, because if item will scale, i may need to spam same dungeoun for some epic loot
hope i make sense
ye all good, i just tank 15s sometimes for fast weekly, used spear leggo yesterday in 15 mists, did arround 8k
EM is less damage than rep
well thats dependent on crit

pretty nice for quick key, if for some reason u invited 5k overall andys
ye it is afaik
Need to check seismic out, sounds nice

tbf
the fact we pulled extra mobs onto the first boss for ST increase and the boss melted is kind of funny
Yea it is
auto attack ring as well
Ya, it's gonna be flat dmg
I wanna see how our current tank iteration plays with the dungeon.
👀
So i'm more excited about that.
😂
from what i remeber DHT was like that as it was the only one with like important intuprts
Dht has a ton of interrupts yep
Doesnt count was with tanks only
No
do warriors have a aoe taunt still?
heh rsham is so OP in torghast, did a solo layer 12 with 210 ilvl. dont think i would be close to do that with my warrior
"still" is a bit drastic, we only got it with SL
But yes we do
Ye so 9+ years ago
whats it now called?

I will break 10k with reprisal or die trying 
ok
how do you die with reprisal 
true
fair
i have to confess that sometimes im a bit lazy with making the most of reprisal 😦

god I miss banner taunt
use consumables, go into torghast, die on first pull, repeat, take 3rd run slow, and complete and get next to no points, go faster but probably take more damage and dont use as buff as well on run 4, get more points cuz faster, run 5 die on floor 2
this is my* * experience with torghast every week * *= solo
pick a sham, they have stupid buff
Do you doubt me?
I mean..10k should be do-able with good gear and decent pulls. 
is prot really that bad in torghast? I did all of my torghast last tier as prot because fury was dreadful, but this tier fury absolutely blasts it
nope, works fine but fury/arms is faster for me
i has a thunk, someone told me "you have a heavy case of spam E" and someone else told me "you need to use more SS", i think i know what must be done
^
And arms actually gets damage powers
so annoying with mobs resetting when you try to gather a big pull
Just speedrun through
have to 5-star one of them tho 😦
Wait, why?
I always get like 2-3 stars max cause i don't care.
😂
but i want the conduit upgrade thingy 😦
Stuff hurts on lower floors, and mobs reset
Oh, so that's why when i run through the floor to the boss only a few end up with me.
Yuh
Eeeh.
That's why it's better to just pull mobs as they are
And on those small pulls, prot just sucks
Compared to arms
Doing prot warr in torghast you also get pepega powers like WW DMG or something boring like shield slam dmg
So much white DMG buff on prot
i have some weird ocd where i have to min/max content so still have to 5-star
I get what i get - don't really care about the star system.
And it's pretty easy since I've been doing it as arms
min/max everything but reprisal usage 😄
I don't really do torghast at all, have all my legendaries in like 235 or 225 😅
but then you dont get cinders for sockets 😦
Just feels bad having your legendary be the lowest ilvl gear you have. Thats why I go for rank 6. Then I can stop doing it
Most of mine are also still 190.
Only Reprisal is 235 i think.
Finally upgraded it after getting enough Soul Ash from the weekly chest.

That said, kinda feels bad that you get 226 conduits from +15 keys but 239 from raids
mhm
normal boss and +15 key is not the same but reward the same lvl of conduit
true, but wish it wasn't done in this way
I saw someone get OWS yesterday
While i got a fuckin 239 ring from earlier boss 🙃
Another week of just selling epics to vendor
"epics"
Implying multiple
Be real, you at best get 1 piece of loot per raid
And it's a shitty neck
Or cloak
That's been my luck so far, got nerzhul neck like 3 times
I will trade all my future raid loot for matrix & aegis please.
I got wrist 246 like 3 times
You know loot system is good when your alt has higher ilvl than your main 😅
Only because i got 252 changeling from vault 😅
Well got some from m+ as well 😅
Traded away 236 2h the other day
While I'm still waiting for my 252 wep from vault 🥲
im still waiting for my 252 shield
I have 246 shield so i started opening as Arms 🤷
but 6 ilvls on shield is like 3% DR
Would be cool if the "token of Merritt" made it possible to select 2 rewards from vault when you get duplicate good items
Because you just know you're gonna get 252 shield and aegis the same day
Hmm
I'm still rocking a 239
226 i mean
239 shield?
2h
Oh ye
And fucking hell I ain't upgrading an m+ 2h weapon with valor
Fucking guy in my guild got 252 wep the one time i boosted him in a 15
That's like the worst thing to do
Ye 😅

It is not, even a 233 jaithys sims higher than a 252
Not for arms
Lol
Maybe for that sub degenerate spec that is fury as offhand
But not for arms
Who plays arms anyway lol
People who know what is good for them
Fury is just a kid flailing around with noodles thinking he's cool
It was a joke :(
Monday morning for you
nice meme nom
Thx I made it myself
If there were 2 trinkets you could pick to run in all content, which two would you pick? Matrix and Aegis?
Yes
Actually matrix + phial prob
but thats only cus i dont have matrix 
Yeah fair. I was just wondering what other peopkes thought were. Seems like safe trinket choices. I'm currently running scale/decanter and I want some upgrades
how do yall deal with orbs from 3rd boss in spires as prot?
Wall, Kyrian Phial, SR
Usually enough
Keybinds themselves dont solve issues
u can just take the 15% magic DR
Well you don't do soggodon in soa typically
but u should be planning cds for the 3rd boss
nope, but have to try everything until the anomoly is discovered
🐒
if i did this right it should have a loggerhead file something somewhere
luckily prot warr is very much just button mashing
press what lights up and if nothing is lit up just generate some rage
and pump revenge ofc
@blazing condor i thought that too, then i tried prot paladin...
it felt like outlaw lol
It honestly looks like you aren't getting enough damage from revenge. You either aren't facing the right way when push button or aren't hitting it enough. Making good use of your leggo is pretty important for pumping. Ofc im just making assumptions from looking at this breakdown
thanks
i said it yesterday yogi u werent facing half the mobs in the first pull of spires
This was my dmg breakdown
In the 1 plaguefall I did a few months back
Around 6k dps
It should look smth like this if you wanna compare dmg breakdowns


I guess your dungeon was alot quicker?
25:25
last i can see on the log
25:27
i mean
lmao i was running splinter in that run too
oopsie
mustve forgotten it
now i dont even use it at all 
Numbers check out
Had 78.
idk i dont really care about my SB in the low keys even though i probably should
I have 69% blocked hits without a block talents or reprisal
How the fuck
Do you block 63% with reprisal
lol
It starts off suck but it can get really strong:
- Whirlwind damage incr by x%
- SS also casts WW
- SS cooldown reduced by x
- WW & Tclap pull mobs to you
???
Profit
idk this was a month ago
but
im probably just incredibly lazy
dont really intervene or charge weave
do we have a place where we can post videos of our high keys for others to critique?
🤷♂️
Like.. Bruh
Constructive feedback.
You can honestly just post it here.
And people will yell at you for everything.
👍
sounds good.
13 dos again oh god no, yeah that's enough torture for one week
thats not a oh god no its a good thing
dos is pretty pog
u can get more used to the dungeon
You got this man! That's a pumper key
Just remember to rotate cooldowns on the first pull and second pull, make sure the group knows to interrupt the big spell caster and soothe the big bone daddy and you're gg
Easy dungin
And keep walking
Back paddle if you must
The bonestrike ability is only 1y range
So if you stay just outside of melee range they can't 1hit you
it's the second pack i find way more scary
Does it?
2nd pack scares shit out of me (fort)
I can't remember getting knocked back
But I've only tanked DoS 11 total in all of SL
And rightly so man, but interrupts and SR are your best friend
mostly when going left and taking the tormentor with the pack to avoid red guy path
I usually wall first pack and LS second pack
i save wall for 2nd pack
SR first shadowcore
interrupt second
pop SW
then stand there a bit
use spear and then just run if i need to
going to try with venthyr hunter
shoot red arrow 
Slightly (negligable) more single target damage than kyrian with 0 AOE added :/
Big meme honestly
vent-hyr 📮
Try use bl on 2nd pull and it will die quicker
had to have been no interrupts, oh well, not risking anything with that key
I usually pop aegis to 1st pack and kite
already did like, 15 keys 10-13 range
And at 2nd pack I pop everything
At 1st pack my heal friend pop his cds like a 🐒
For those packs in front of the areas in DoS, the most important thing is making sure your DPS have their CDs to unload, otherwise, they live too long
The 1 minutes comes back usually
EX: Me (arms warrior) and WW pop CDs first pull. Second pull we lust and Venthyr boomie carries
🎞️ 📉 💥 💩

it was a 13, i really doubt that people are planning cds there 🐒
"i just press buttons"
In which case, skipping it and just tracking the DPS CDs of your group is the way to go
A pull is made much easier (and safer) when DPS CDs are up
Like, pulling big with DPS CDs is sometimes safer then pulling small with no gas in the tank
@sick sentinel pull the tormented mob before pulling the 2nd pack, it usually givrs you more time to get cds back
see, thats another way my brain doesn't function properly is i will forget thing exists and it does the thing and we go poof, or get eager and pull it and then its the chains guy and he pulls us into patrol (happened like once)
or if there is 3 groups of trash, i see 3 groups of trash to kill, not 2 and a stealth
gotta remember, in the keys you are doing, and going up all the way to like 18-19 you can legitimately do a W route. This sort of means, you do one pack at a time and whatever is in front of you
No reason to overthink complicated pulls or do anything fancy. Press W, do the mechs of each pack and carry on
If all you care about is IO and getting KSM, this is de way (especially if pugging)
So I'm not very familiar witch is why I ask,
Can you live log dungeons if you're doing back to back dungeons? Will it seperate them kinda like it does with boss fights? Or will it be one giant clusterF?
you can
it separates them
i once livelogged for like 4 days straight
had a raid at the beginning, several keys after, and another raid at the end
Ok great I'm thinking I'll just live log my dungeon sessions so I can get more data to review I always forget to log or upload otherwise lol
Logging is fun!
yeah logging dungeons is useful
I also play with someone who streams, so we also have a vlog 😄
also, recording video of them is nice too
May have had some fun abusing weapons in a 15NW 🙃
kyrian rsham is disgusting
granted, now everyone is running around as a Kyrian
Remember in season 1 when it was the tanks job to be Kyrian cause everyone was NF?
I havnt seen a Ret outside of PVP in at least 3 tiers
feels real weird yolo forming a key and not automatically having a nightfae by law of averages
that's why you play nf 📈
starting a mists key and everyone is standing at the gate like, "uhh?"
same @light ledge fuck you ret nerd
why u tagging random ppl
I went back Kyrian 😭 cause I wanted to play Spear Arms Warrior
(afro is just here to shitpost please ignore him)
I miss my fully upgraded sanctum, but most of all I miss my lion soulshape
he is not random @distant crystal
fucking yeah man
yeah
honorary warrior despite being a ret main

ret? arms? what's the difference
yelling
One gets played outside of PVP
Yeah I give him shit to thats my buddies alt he isn't kyrian and he doesn't have earth ele leggo lmao
you just go kyrian with kyrian lego and puuuump
it's crazy burst aoe from resto shaman
^ this is de way of the super soaker Shaman
Resto Shaman doing like 4k overall in dungeons
pretty cool
The best part! No longer have to hear 'but my Ashen durrrrr'
hmm not even full renown on my necro rsham as it is so i might just switch...
anything to benefit from by waiting of switching covenant until reset day?
no benefit
as far as I know
also necro shaman is still really good, kyrian is just blaster dps for resto
I think all covs are viable
but yeah if you wanna do easily 4k+ overall and burst like 10k+
kyrian is de way
zap zap splash splash
everything dead
Shaman, especially resto, is in a spot where all 4 Covs are pretty cool
i always liked the thing with healers dishing out dps 🙂
that's why I tried playing disc
the idea sounds really cool
but then you spend half the dungeon with pressing shadowmend because people stand in poop

You want to initiate the covenant swap before reset so you can do the first proving your worth quest otherwise you'll be locked out for 1 whole week because switching covenants is two weekly quests..
aah true
what you swapping to?
Im still debating between Kyrian and NF
Currently throwing the spear, which feels good for arms in M+
but so does NF since it lines up perfectly with all my CDs
celebrity spotting
for Prot, it dont matter. DPS pretty much the same

on my warrior i had more fun with NF i think
I'm going back to kyrian for a while I want to play with mikanikos spear as prot
I'm going to miss soulshape though
And the AA knockdown in pugs is so nice
mhm
AA is such a great ability, but from a damage perspective, spear is a lot easier to get full value out of
it also helps you get it down to that 40 second CD with Milk
Though, im sort of convinced that Milk is oversimming
Exactly why I'm switching
no real proof, just my gut
Trying to milk the damage as tank
The other benefit of Kyrian is the pot
I mean yeah it's good
Likewise though, NF are kind of hard to find nowadays
Its better now then it was last tier.
Higher key Level Executioners being able to remove bleed is huge
So its this constant back and forth
which is how it should be 🙂
Yeah I'm looking forward to bleed resets in HoA and SoA and poison resets in PF
Yeah the catbirds
I'm aware but I haven't been running reprisal so I get bleed stacks perodically
ooof
Seismic gang
Im guessing you dont run bolster either XD
Going full pump
Yeah I've been managing 7k overalls my best so far was 7.7k in Mots.. and NW doesn't count cause weapon abuse
I know it could be higher just need more practice
And spear
i dunno how good this is for solo kyrian torgy, i saw someone in guild call it that
na
just play warmachine/sudden death
doubletime/stormbolt
massacre
second wind
Warbreaker
Avatar
Dreadnaught
if you play anything but these talents, youre kinda trolling
those are some wild talents yogi
yeah, whoever recommended that needs a beating
rend is virtually useless in torghast
Deadly calm is utterly useless
Cleave does everything Warbreaker does but worse, no point
Dreadnaught is part of the reason why arms does any damage at all
Skullsplitter is okay, but .. eh
true
what stats do i want most as arms
kinda same with prot stats but haste is crit? much crit as you can get and anything else after, but probably versa
ya crit is most important stat
the arms bois tell me you just gotta sim patchwork 1 target 5 min for stat weights
they seem to fluctuate a bunch

But I dont know if I trust that
i sure hope they don't tell you to sim stat weights
I think someone did
uhoh 
stinky
its scary up there @sweet summit can you just bring knowledge down here please

i have no idea which talents you take
@sweet summit whats the correct way to sim as arms, specifically for M+
what is "something"
you dont need to sim for m+
rings
not crit haste 
crit vers ye
haste doesnt do anything there
then why does Wowhead suggest crit/haste for legos
ya but vers is just better mastery
because raiding
cuz wowhead is for raiding
hmmm
crit/haste is for raiding cuz more rage and mortal strikes, in m+ most your dmg comes from stuff where haste does very little compared to vers/mastery
eh haste falls off after a while too, especially with steroids like ows and field blossoms
my arms gear is favoring crit vers even for raiding too now
what about running kliea for arms
in raid you run kleia
is it in the pins?
Nom has the soulbind for Arms and Prot pinned
Milk is de way
FBV?
oh
well what else would you put there that can be used by both prot and arms?
lol
cant just leave it empty
that is the joke 🏃
so empty it is
its possible to leap over the balls in P3 Painsmith as War yeah?
Apparently so, yea
possible? yeah
reliable? neah
how many yards off the apex can the ball wall be before you splat 🤔
sims sim with dom sockets in mind right?
2 rows I think
By default, yes
👍
I basically ask cause we on Pain now and the first night we were doing it I was on my DK, being painfully slow was.... painful
can't you ibf and walk though balls?
I can, but its also the earlier phases
without wraithwalk, I can make it to the corner
even with my speed gems

are you a necroboi
have to be for Soul
I aint scared of the balls.... Im scared of the walking distance
get tigers lust
but we did have a roar i think for one of the ones where the DK either did it or got it accidentally
necro or venth in my mind for 2nd
Need trinket advice - picked up a OWS at 233 had shard @ 239 and RDM @ 226.
My gut feeling Is OWS + matrix for raid and shard + matrix for m+ but I'm really second guessing that for m+.
Any advice?
sounds correct
gunna try to kill minimum 1 lfr boss, then torgy, counts as 6th lfr kill for 2nd option
Wait what? Thorgast gives lfr loot?
no

no, im 5/9 lfr kills, wanted to do 1 more boss
you know, what,its lfr, that's best way to describe it, if you've been once you know
hi guys, quick question. Which one would you choose, 249 Viscera of Coalesced Hatred or 226 Reactive Defense Matrix?
also 226 Weave of Warped Fates?
that's what i was thinking. Like Reactive is one of the good ones, but ilvl wise Viscera is looking good also.
You could probably sim this to get a sense of their power, since the defensive benefit is matched to the dmg done
Viscera a bit less consistent since hopefully you aren't spending most of your time sub-50%
maybe i craft leaper, take double time and go arms and play pinball simulator
arms dmg leggos feel too good imo
what is the tuning on tavesh? is the mythic difficultly tuned to a M0 or M15 or....
like, do i need to read up on the dungeon as the tank or is easy enough that i can just run it and power through
The mechanics Hurt/make the fight unkillable/wipe the group so I'd make sure to KWTD, but other than that it's it's horrible
got it
@mighty valley yeah will probably do that, thanks!
hi, someone was offering to help me figure out how to be defensive as prot war... here are my logs from my last run...https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/jDdq7NfWcnaATQXz/#fight=last
I think i was doing a lot better just based on your tips. I was trying to intervene more, and i think i popped my shield wall a lot more often... aggro wasnt a huge issue either
your blocked hits are very low (60%) and you only casted intervene 14 times while using reprisal. This is a very easy way to increase block uptime and also get free rage and revenge procs
he aint spending his rage tho
you also missed casts of SW and Avatar
yea, lots of wasted rage. Its really important to not overcap rage especially when using AM. You want to be spending so that CDs come back faster.
whats good block% with reprisal now again
80+
Hello lads
What powers should i take As prot in m+?
i take vers one, stygians barb (or siegebreaker with seismic), interrupt power and 20% shield
okay
Sad !

is WW underpowerd in keys
fucking NF koryan
no they're just undergeared xd
ok no flame then
Was your team pulling extra in maze?
we did that on first one, but boss also went right :/
tried pulling onto 2nd boss but fucked it xd
That always bites when she goes right.. packs were probably being smoked with all that aoe right?
well the monks were not that geared (at least not staratar), but yeah
they kinda disappeared
Crazy pump as prot man.. nice!
?
probably stitchflesh
yeah theyre probably pretty equal
finally got this beauty upgraded ❤️

is Champions Brand better than Barbs btw? because it also gives a bit of defense, while Barbs only give offense
i got like this currently
ye im mostly confused about the Executioner thing
Barbs seem kinda focused on only DPS
while the other 2 give a defense as well
champions brand gives Parry
siegebreaker gives Armor 🤔
Barbs damage is just enormous
Killing everything faster is the greatest defense of all
You literally don't need more defensive value.
ye ok
just heard fx Deswind going Siegebreaker
and i see other people in streams going Champions Brand
Paladins fx
Siegebreaker can be a solid DPS increase if you can pull it off.
I for one, can't.
I hate standing still.
but they were doing 28-29 keys, so i just wanted to double check 😄
ah ye tru
is Matrix more dps than Phial?
like 239 Matrix vs 246 Phial
im sure siegebreaker if played with correctly is more dmg than barbs
but its way more limiting and one more thing to think of
i don't want to jinx anything but watch it offers me 249 viscera in vault now
is there a way to track block % in game?
you can track aura uptime on shield block through details
but if you want to actually see effective uptime on block and blocked hit%
then its logs
would it be possible to make a WA that counted blocked hits through the combat log?
Is this the WA that picks powers for you?
yes
Are you able to link it?
remember you gotta set it up in custom options or whatever its called
in the WA addon
whats the more important research more blessing less curses
More blessings to fish for the one that makes it ezpz
Only curse that's hard is the arcane one
But like it's torghast it doesn't matter
does Remnant always do Suffering on top of Malevolence?
or is that bad phasing due to DPS?
it's completely normal
Our team dispels right as suffering fires, so no one gets knocked into it.
