It's a solid combo. If you have one I'd personally run Shard over Scale as my active, but that's a decision you can make either way

sweet summit
#

it's aegis not shard 😠

smh

facts

#

its also matrix and not rdm or reactive

#

Shard of annhylde’s aegis

#

So it’s not actually the aegis itself its just a shard of it

#

But yes you call it aegis smh

strong forum
#

aegis is unique in its name

#

you can guess it because of context, but aegis is more descriptive

#

same as matrix

violet violet
#

I’m skeptical because of stat dr’s, but do we continue to stack haste for keys? Past 30%? Is there a breakpoint where it’s more valuable to stack other stats?

sweet summit
#

the first 10% tax (at 30% haste) is not noticeable enough for us to care about it

violet violet
#

Okay thanks! Do we receive 10% less haste per point after 30%? Or do you mean the dr between 30-40% isn’t noticeable enough

strong forum
#

you get only 9 out of 10 haste past 30%

violet violet
#

Perfect thanks I didn’t know the exact number

strong forum
#

so going from 30 to 40% with stats, essentially "loses" you only 33 haste total

violet violet
#

What’s the next threshold for further dr?

strong forum
#

40%

violet violet
#

Awesome that’s exactly what I needed to know😊

#

Thanks guys

damn i couldnt properly report it

I mean, if you really want to, you can push Haste too far

#

must be the vers

median tulip
#

Yeah, definitely not enough vers 🤡

#

For the avoidance of doubt, the 82% up there is ITF, AFE and Hammer of Genesis all together. It's not a build I actually use, it's just a demo.

north rampart
#

but also why not use it?

#

improve your apm for those upcomming SC2 tournaments

strong forum
#

80% haste is hardly challenging to utilise

#

around 200% is when things start getting interesting

urban portal
#

Tbf it's no harder than 100%

Since gcd cap and all

Just press more ignore pains

well gcd cap, but your cds will come back quicker

#

% haste (talents, trinkets) doesn't count against you because its only factoring in how much rating you have

#

so, if you have enough haste rating for 30 or 40% haste, and someone does bloodlust, you still go to 60/70%

I legit left our co-tank to clear trash because I had to let my hand rest.

The absurd APM of 2/4 in ATB was horrible for me.

ancient monolith
#

yeah you made the point on %s

median tulip
#

Yeah, that's one of the reasons the AFE drops off the performance charts at high ilvls; it starts to bite DR pretty hard

high overall ilvl, that is; not just the trinket itself

Ugh... my bear druid feels busted even at level 40.

True, but it just feels so bullshit. The ability to stack Ironfur into the sun is whack

Although I have no idea when to maul vs ironfur

strong forum

basically never maul

👍

#

only for parsing in raid

cinder nova
#

But TANK DPS.

strong forum
#

its a dps loss in m+

basically

cinder nova
#

I mean, yeah. What goon would hit it over swipe or thrash

#

AOE pulls feel like you're just juggling IF, Thrash, and Swipe.

yes

cinder nova

GG is ST right?

sweet summit
#

GG is a dps increase everywhere

cinder nova
#

Oh, really? Even over Incarn?

sweet summit
#

yeah

#

but incarn is cracked for big pulls

cinder nova
#

Sounds like I'm never talenting out of it until I'm doing +20s

basically, until SL you never played incarn

now you play incarn in keys cuz UFR

Any good addons that can make shift bars easier and powershifting easier? I was hoping I could just bind it to Shift + Mouswheel and roll through them like CSGO weapons.

Figured it was high time I get a second class under my belt and I haven't touched bear since Legion.

urban portal
#

bear is the easiest tank rotationally

cinder nova
#

I can see that, but I still feel lost sometimes because it had SO MANY PROCS.

#

I wonder how busted warrior would be if they took the ICD off Rev

#

Or put a similar ICD on GG

sweet summit

thrash on cd
spend GG procs
swipe
mangle for rage
spend rage on IF/FR

Hi, quick question about HoA. On Chamberlain, it says on tanknotes that DKs and Pallies can immune the application of Stigma of Pride. Can prot warriors spellreflect it?

plush tendon
#

and by being able to swap, our VDH can swap to Venthyr for HoA or SD without us having to recruit a random boomie or rogue

worldly jackal
#

T.T

#

thx for the reply

plush tendon

but if we could spell reflect it, we'd be so tanky on that

or a dps warr could taunt and spell reflect like in ToP

Theres no other damage going out, so you should just have 1-2 death strikes pooled for it

tropic gorge
#

so, i'm 241 i lvl, "farming" 15-17 m+ runs to git good before pushing higher. i swapped out ITF for ravager and anger managment for bolster and holy shit

#

both are amazing for dungeon running

teal swift
#

Don't use bolster

#

It's shit

teal swift
#

It's less uptime than HR

#

Hr is more rage

strong forum
#

ravager owns hard in m+

teal swift
#

More uptime on shield block

#

And is overall the defneidve choice

#

I used bolster

#

And then the two yellow cats killed my bird.

tropic gorge
#

i like to avatar + spear on the pull, then use ravager when the spear is about to fall off. so much rage

#

and doiing more dmg than ive done in a hot minute is nice

teal swift
#

Use HR for defense, AM for offense. I don't have a shiny yellow name. But it's correct.

havng problem with mythic eye

during the eye are the tanks swapping.. cos its killing everyone.. cos tank swap during eye

u dont swap on adds no

ok

so can we live through the stafcks

yes

lilac bloom
#

ok.. thx

#

we dying cos rl tell us to swap when we had enough stacks

#

and how many stacks when they swap

jagged pier
#

that depends completely on what your tactic is

#

if your doing 50/50 its 5 stacks

#

if your doing 2/18 i dont know

lilac bloom
#

oh i see ok thanks

#

we did that strat

#

problem is 5 melee can't hit the target cos i'm on the eye

its slow

what?

#

u shouldnt have different debuffs to ppl

#

they leave that stacks drop

when we did the swap all was good.. just melee can't hit my target

How do you deal with the frontal from first soa Voss

you cant dodge it, just have sb up and you can rotate defensives if needed

otherwise its standard stuff like dont get caught in the beam and dont get hit by the balls

Even with the high stat value disparity ? It is the large versatility loss I am "worried about" or am I looking at it wrongly^

shard of kyr is our best shard, it's definitely worth dropping a few ilvls

Wait, what? I thought we only use Kyr in M+

# lilac bloom its slow

For the 2/18 strat you just swap sides, it' s not complicated. 1 tank 1 healer goes right at start. Everyone else goes left. At about 5 stacks all the people on the left take the chain. The tank healer combo runs to the other side ( gateway can be used but not required).

#

The people who took the chain pick up the other eye. Then you just keep an eye on the add hp. If it's a little imbalanced you send a few ranged to help the other side (if you dont have them stood in the middle hitting both already)

Nah the ring isn’t broken. It’s a 100 dps increase on st only

vagrant ridge
#

Sorry if this has been asked before, kind of a weird one... I normally play arms, haven't played prot in years... but my guild needs me to for our raid tonight. I haven't started working on my blood shard set yet. Would it make sense to go with rank 5 unholy over like rank 1-2 blood?

mighty valley
#

Probably, but that's something you can sim

vagrant ridge
#

Damage wise I am sure the unholy would come out on top there, but do you think it would be a problem for tankiness, or should be fine without it. Guessing fine without since we cleared everything with shards originally

mighty valley
#

Yeah I mean, it's not necessary, the raid was cleared with minimal set bonuses

Just watched a video of a guardian druid take the entire slime pack and 1 larger guy in the first boss area of PF (22?). He had 99x Necrotic stacks and seemingly never lost any HP. Is that normal for druids? Seems like I can't take more then 25 stacks before running with Necrotic, regardless of cooldowns, which has me pull only smaller on those slimes this week.

sweet summit
#

the legendary "ursocs fury remembered" ignores necrotic when calculating the absorb for some strange reason 🍝 so that's pretty normal with incarn

#

but you should be able to take more than 25 stacks since we mitigate damage before it happens AKA don't need that much healing to begin with

jagged pier
#

^ should be going to like 40-50 stacks before any issue really

u can also do all the slimes if u have aegis

Yeh still farming some trinkets. Question, I almost never wait for 40-50 stacks this week and dip at ~25 stacks. Typically when I hit around 25 stacks I'm also under 50% HP. Am I being too chicken or is my healer not doing enough? (I still am farming absorb trinkets, so maybe it is the lack of trinkets?)

ivory coral
#

at 25 stacks your healer is no longer legally obligated to heal you, so its a good point to dip out

sweet summit
#

yea

#

necrotic is kinda hard to give concrete advice for

#

since there are so many variables on when to drop stacks

robust rover
#

No this is good. I'm probably doing fine, just still taking a lot of damage upfront (236 ilvl just now doing 15-16's).

#

I did learn at 25 stacks, if I run, I live. At the start of the week I died a few times because I tried pushing it more

blazing condor
#

I mean its basically - drop your stacks when you feel like you need to. But if you feel the need at low stacks, then you’re probably not playing entirely correct

tropic gorge
#

I like making people freak and getting 40 stacks

#

Then use stone form

sweet summit
#

dorf

tropic gorge
#

Ftw

#

Or doing it and using the vial

#

Seeing fat *immune *pop up for 8 seconds after is glorious

jagged pier
#

ew

#

no 45 sec sspear

#

im out

sweet summit
#

bye

tropic gorge
#

For weeks like this I personally like the buffs to the vial over the shorter spear cd

#

Just my personal preference

#

Next week depending on what we get I'd like to try mika

ivory coral
#

use spear to kite dont need phial

tropic gorge
#

I use it for both. I dispise the kite meta tbh

#

It's cool and fun at first, but quickly gets old for me

ionic fern
#

I use spear on cd. 👀

tropic gorge
#

I do to lol

#

I've also discovered my love for the.... Oh shit the name just fell out of my head

#

The aoe talent on a 45 sec cd

sweet summit
#

ravager

#

owns

ionic fern
tropic gorge
#

Spear, talent, all during avatar

#

Yes ty erga

#

Unlimited threat and a decent amount of rage

#

I'm 70 ash short of making reprisal. Uggggg. So next week I'll see how close I get to making a max ilvl item for m+

#

I also wanna try out the kyrian legendary. I've read it can be awesome

robust rover
tropic gorge
#

What does seismic do?

#

I'm not familiar with most leggos

#

Nm I Googled it like I should have to begin with

#

Oof my God. That would be great with the revenge talent

sweet summit
#

oh it is

ionic fern
#

Especially this week where you can pad 3 enemies with Spiteful.

tropic gorge
#

I also tried out the last stand talent over the weekend. It. Can be. Amazing. I'm pumped to try it during a non necrotic week to see just how good it can be

#

Also swapped a talent from booming voice for the rage, to revenge because why not. I found that with raveger, and using it and the spear together I don't need the rage from booming voice

#

My dps shot up a good bit

ionic fern
#

What did you play before on the last row?

tropic gorge
#

Usually anger management

ionic fern
#

That's the way to go.

jagged pier
#

i mean bolster has been outdated since repisal buff

ionic fern
#

HR is the other choice

tropic gorge
#

It did take some adjustment for me to not have shield wall so often

#

Oh, I don't have reprisal just yet. Working on crafting legs asap, been saving ash for a high level one

#

So my talent choices probably seem weird. But that's why

ionic fern
#

Oh,that makes more sense then jeah.

tropic gorge
#

Da

jagged pier
#

yer makes more sense

#

bolster u dont run with repisal ever

#

if u want more block u take HR

#

but u never should

tropic gorge
#

Ya no need at that point right

#

Hr in a raid is kinda sexy

#

Esp when shit procs shield slam

plush tendon
#

I wouldnt even take it even if I wasnt using reprisal TBH

tropic gorge
#

I'm using "the wall" for my raid set currently

jagged pier
#

ew

plush tendon
#

D:

tropic gorge
#

Ya, old guides. I have updating to do

#

Missed a month of shit and everything changed on me lol

ionic fern
#

I mean..it's not BAD.

jagged pier
#

im pretty sure mwahis guide is upto date

#

🤔

tropic gorge
#

It probably is. I haven't looked in over a month and a half at guides
Came back from a short break and have a few weeks of torgh grinding ahead of me to make corrections

ionic fern
#

Guides are for helping you get started. I'm still proposing The Wall for raids in the guide as it's a lot easier to use for people new to the class/raid (generally the majority of the people reading guides). Reprisal is mentioned as an "alternative".

tropic gorge
#

Does the "old" rule of reprisal for m+, something else for raids still hold true?

ionic fern
#

If you can pull it off you can use Reprisal everywhere.

#

It's a dps increase even in raids if played properly.

distant crystal
#

I think there's a couple raid fights that are kinda bad for reprisal

tropic gorge
#

Hmm. I'm never one to back down from a challenge lol

distant crystal
#

Like eye right?

jagged pier
#

ive run rep on the eye

lofty widget
#

the only blockable dmg is from the lance add, so you wont benefit from the defesive part of it

jagged pier
#

how about all the extra rage it gives you

#

🤔

lofty widget
#

sure, just saying you dont play rep on the eye for the defensiveness

#

just for fat dam

ionic fern
#

Pretty sure most people play Reprisal for the damage anyways.

lofty widget
#

has anyone else noticed btw, how unnerving doesnt affect the bonus rage from reprisal?

tropic gorge
#

Speaking of the eye. Spell reflection will cheese his targeted ability right? I was getting some reflects trying to get my timing right in pugs over the weekend

jagged pier
#

its physical so no

tropic gorge
#

I wonder what I was reflecting. I wish I could recall the ability name. I may have been a bit hi

#

Dbm would alert, I'd reflect and something would trigger the reflect in the combat text add on I'm using

jagged pier
#

u cant SR anything on the fight u can only reduce damage with it

tropic gorge
#

That's good to know. I won't stop using it then

jagged pier
#

theres a spreadsheet in the pins

tropic gorge
#

Ty I'll take a look

blazing condor
#

U couldnt reflect the ad in p2?

#

I dont member

jagged pier
#

deflect so it just reduces/stops the damage

#

no damage back to boss

blazing condor
#

O yeah

#

Thx

Been having some issues with Kin-Tara in SoA, around +15 and higher on tyran weeks. her tank buster is simply chunking me, even when rolling SB and IP. Can it be avoided, or do i have to roll bigger CD's and hope for the best when they're not up?

distant crystal
#

p sure it's no longer avoidable, but I think it can be dodged/parried?

#

avoidable as in, you can't just run away from it

ionic fern
#

Are you sure it's the slash that's killing you and not the magic dot?

odd tree
#

Actually it might be. looking over my logs it looks like I was clipped by the beam

#

I likely have to pool a bit more rage, get a little revenge happy sometimes and only get 1 IP up before the hit

tropic gorge
#

Isn't 2 ip the cap? I got a wa to watch the ip amount, the bar fills for me with 2 casts

mystic warren
#

2 is the cap yes

tropic gorge
#

It's always nice to get confirmation that what I see is actually happening

ionic fern
odd tree
tropic gorge
#

Yes it does. It's super handy

#

What I want tho, is something that will show blocked amounts. I searched over the weekend and found nothing

odd tree
# ionic fern Honestly shouldn't matter on a +15. 🙂

was looking where i could increase my io and looks like SoA is my lowest key, just remember the first boss being the bane of my existence when going for KSM a while back. likely won't be an issue with all the ilvl i've gained.

ionic fern
#

Jeah, just avoid the beam and you'll be fine. :)=

tropic gorge
#

Lol

#

"to avoid getting killed don't take damage". That should be a tool tip on a loading screen

#

I love it when tanks get crazy in soa, and end up eating all 3 orbs from the bird due to bad positioning or bad luck. Had a havok dh get melted 3 times in a row to that boss and rage quit a couple months back when I was pushing ksm on my mage

#

I've messed that up a few times myself, I've yet to eat all 3 and insta splat tho (watch me do just that if I run that dungeonsl this evening)

odd tree
#

i learned to take it slow when positioning around the bird, those orbs are no joke

tropic gorge
#

That dh I mentioned made me realize to go around to get to the boss, don't bee line

#

I do that every time without issue

they're likely in front of the squid monster

very pretty visual peepostudy

The class would need major adjustments for that

jagged pier

modern brook

like right now the idea of having am + HR or bolster isnt particularly pog worthy

#

i dont ven take that anima power half the time :/

tropic gorge
#

My favorite Anima power is the one that increases how long avatar lasts

modern brook
#

mines the execute one

tropic gorge
#

Avatar is probably my favorite ability.
For a fun time use avatar and stone form together for a boss sized dwarf

strong forum
#

i dont even have a favourite anima power

#

on prot its the one that grips in mobs with tc

modern brook
#

in fairness mines only the execute one because it means i get to leave torghast soon

strong forum
#

but on arms idk

tropic gorge
#

Ooo the thunder clap grip is so good

sick sentinel
#

there was a teleport to mob one last night, that was nice

#

i usually go with a team, so avatar spear and shout ones are ones i like

#

30% damage from shouts per stack for team

mighty valley
#

yeah that's bonkers for groups

#

just basically permanent 90% damage amp if you get all three

sick sentinel
#

theres one that goes with it that increases random shout by 500%, either can be battleshout which blows, or group fear which is meh

#

or demo, which is what you are always banking on when you have resonating

#

last stand and avatar and spear ones all equally good, everything else gravy, kinda poopy if you get no good power

grave crane

There’s one for necro that blasts shadow damage while banner is active that’s pretty neat

obsidian girder

is the pelagos tree the most defensive one ?

strong forum

uuuh...

i guess?

maybe not

cuz mikans shield in the bottom right is quite nice defensively

also they make a very small difference tbh

Theres a cap

#

If u get a WA for it you’ll notice it

dim token
#

Pretty sure there is a cap but not sure how much it is

#

Yea

ionic fern
#

So lets say your avg cap is 18k, you use the orc racial or any other buff and that raises you cap to 19k.
If you don't let IP drop off your cap will stay at 19k even after the orc racial has fallen off.

tropic gorge
#

i got smacked for 93k from tarra just now (heroic). the dk tank randomly went kersplat and i got nailed with the debuff.

#

i'm curious, is it possible to survive the hit? i mean, you'll die right after. but can the hit be taken?

blazing condor

is this during the last 10%

or in general

cus if it's in general you can take hits even with debuff

Morning! Is here anyone up for a brief log analysis, third week Sylvanas HC progress with no real progression. Just wanna check the Logs, to get a direction what's going wrong

gaunt dawn
#

if its sylv HC prog now, its v likely people just not pushing buttons

#

that's been the trend of heroic logs i've seen the last few weeks

#

people with GCDs of 5s

obsidian girder
#

So no need to share ?

urban portal
#

You can share

#

But it's gonna be pretty brutal

gaunt dawn
#

people straight up

#

arent hitting chains

obsidian girder
#

Thats the log

#

Okay, so chains taking too long

#

Or you mean they don't destack

gaunt dawn
#

theyre just not hitting them

#

damage on 1st chains

#

mage, dh, rogue are doing direct hits

#

the rest are just slamming boss

#

🐵

obsidian girder
#

Monkas yeah

#

Better don't check who's nuking the soul judge if we manage to get to p2

gaunt dawn
#

i mean

#

if you're not making the easiest dps check

#

which is hit a target with fuck all hp

obsidian girder
gaunt dawn
#

you shouldnt be focused on anythign else

obsidian girder
#

Okay, so P1 should focus more on chains. They literally don't get nuked

gaunt dawn
#

they should like for like

#

3-5s

obsidian girder
#

Okay

gaunt dawn
#

you should only get a few globals on them

#

and then finish of the ones far out

#

slam the middle clump then work on edges

obsidian girder
#

Should camp stack more to get the arrows more together. Or doesn't make it a difference

gaunt dawn
#

you cant bait em

obsidian girder
#

Okay

gaunt dawn
#

they just spawn wherever

#

generally you're in the mid anyway for the fight

obsidian girder
#

Anything tankwise that we should get better done ?

urban portal
#

Why wouldn't you not hit chains

#

Are people pumping into the invincible boss

#

Or are they watching youtube

obsidian girder
#

Can't give you a satisfying answer to this

gaunt dawn
#

does heroic throw gen rage? @jagged pier

jagged pier
#

nope

gaunt dawn
#

rage illustrated

#

you've got that segment where you're naturo running

#

which is fair

#

but then you come back, build rage to full

#

dump it

#

then stop building

#

get arrow again

#

take arrow with nothing

obsidian girder
#

Yeah that shitty

gaunt dawn
#

you can easily build and IP spam on your way out

obsidian girder
#

Right, might be better on the later tries.

#

Target 20k IP + spell reflect. Arrow does no damage then

gaunt dawn
#

ye it is

#

your rage gen on later tries is a bit low i think?

#

this is p1 rage

obsidian girder
#

I switched a lot to more defensive items. Maybe this as an impact ?

gaunt dawn
#

idk what a normal rage chart should be for sylv as a warrior

#

rage is purely rotational

#

items make 0 impact

obsidian girder
#

Okay

jagged pier
#

u can look at my kills if u want panthea

gaunt dawn
#

looks similar

#

but over this period you generated 200 more rage Jakey

#

and wasted 2 rage, when @obsidian girder wasted 53

#

just missing lots of shield slams by the looks of it @obsidian girder

obsidian girder
#

Okay, didn't expect that, thought I am slamming like an idiot the whole time. Will take it in consideration

#

Am i revenging too much ?

gaunt dawn
#

this is before the third arrow

obsidian girder
#

@jagged pier how far do you move away with arrow ? Looks like you get less downtime then me

gaunt dawn
#

looking at the replay

#

you're not using your movement that much

#

you can leap out and charge back in

obsidian girder
#

Okay I used double charge when she was jumping around to generate rage. That backfires then. Will stop it

#

Maybe you guys have an additional advice for the first add Plattform, we literally melt there or take too long. Focus soul judge over Goliath, is our approach

gaunt dawn
#

you have like

#

6 people getting hit by veil

jagged pier
#

that'll do it

gaunt dawn
#

including you

jagged pier
gaunt dawn
#

big burst of damage + healing absorb

#

ofc you'll melt

#

and people hit by veil on boss burn too

#

make sure people have projected textures enabled

#

if they cant see it

#

if they have it on, and they cant see it

#

suggest an eye test

#

or colourblind settings

#

1 person being hit you can get away with

#

more than that you need a healing CD

#

even more than that, you're wiping or just having lots of deaths

#

its really bad if its on a tank

#

DTPS from the Goliath + Veil debuff can = death easily

#

think that's all the time i'm gonna spend on these logs

#

have fun with that info 🙂

#

TLDR - hit proper things, dont get hit by shit

#

play the fight
