To clarify, I'd probably only use this for M+, but who knows.

strong forum
#

Which unholy shard

#

Dyz?

cinder nova
#

Zed

#

Admittedly, the end of a dungeon Zed is still between 1-2.5% of my overall.

#

So, I'm a little cagey about tossing it aside.

#

That being noted, I use Zed over Kyr

strong forum
#

You know that zed from others, count for your own dps

cinder nova
#

Oh, does it?

strong forum
#

So if your healer procs zed on you

#

It's your dps

cinder nova
#

Oh yeah fuck this nevermind. It's probably padded from the rest of my party.

strong forum
#

Zed on average is 70 dps per shard

cinder nova
#

Okay well is the 239 + Kyr better than 252

#

I'll guess no.

strong forum
#

Defensively, abso-fucking-lutely

cinder nova
#

Oh really?

strong forum
#

Kyr is our best shard in m+

#

Lol

cinder nova
#

Portentous Kyr that slappy?

mellow gorge
#

shades don't body pull

#

right?

cinder nova
#

I don't think shades social.

strong forum
#

Kyr does like 300 hps

#

Shades don't pull

mellow gorge
#

aight ty

cinder nova
#

Yeah, you can't social a pull with shades. Just like Lts. they don't social.

#

Wait doesn't Zed do HPS too

#

How much is the HPS from it per shard

waxen orbit
#

Felt like experimenting

strong forum
#

Zed does negligible hps

i get really scared of the 2nd pull if no interupts and no shield wall

then thats the scary part over EZ

Be a bitch and kite that pull

Lowkey, just get in, slap a bit get aggro and piss off until dead

Either you or pack

waxen orbit
sick sentinel
#

i get LOS down the stairs and healer can't heal me is what i'll argue

#

cuz tey don't stand close to ledges for that

waxen orbit
#

Kite them onto the corners

mellow bridge
#

use less stuff on first pull so you have more on 2nd

waxen orbit
#

No need to go down stairs

mellow bridge
#

first is a lot easier to kite than second

#

and less dangerous

sick sentinel
#

you don't lust the first pull? standard seems to be lust first pull CD 2nd pull

waxen orbit
#

Nah

#

First pull is free

sick sentinel
#

my groups always do lust first pull, and i save my SW by staying out of stuff leaping from rage and having hunter

#

then, i SW second pull when im low

waxen orbit
#

I'd heavily recommend lusting second pull on fort week

Caster pack eats warr tanks

i ran a 13 dos the other day and i told them the first 2 packs are pain points and we lusted first pack and 2nd was okay after i said giga interups

Worth a spin this week

Okay now to go back to Kyrian and never touch that red geek covenant again

mellow bridge
#

you should SW before you fall low 🤷‍♂️

#

youre probably getting burst by bonestrikes and a few casts at the same time

oblique garnet

couldve done more on NF

mellow bridge

then you SW after the bonestrikes are on CD

oblique garnet

and we had no drums or bl

waxen orbit
#

You sure that NF would do more this week?

oblique garnet
#

think i can get closer to 11-12K marks this week if i really want to try and push the damage

waxen orbit

It's capped

Yeah korayn is broken

Been a hot minute since I went back to NF

#

Also AA does more dmg on 5 targets than spear does on... 12?

#

iirc

#

So that's a moot point

cinder nova

But it's up half as often

Actually worse.

Up half as often but does twice the dmg

Veinripper is agi weapon from painsmith

cinder nova

Oh god why would you

oblique garnet

: )

strong forum

Cuz thunderclap

jagged pier

because TC and deep wounds proc the dot

#

on everything

oblique garnet
#

and because i can

cinder nova
#

I feel like it isn't worth it, is it actually a DPS bump in keys

jagged pier
#

its like 300-400k damage over the key

urban portal
#

i dont even use my 239 vein over my 249 weapon on my dh

strong forum

Thats

urban portal

but i guess theres less procs

jagged pier

u should tho

strong forum

Stupid

#

Veinripper is broken

urban portal

it sims worse when 3 targets exists

jagged pier
#

that is legit a dps increase

urban portal
#

i just macro swaps

on 1/2

Veinripper does more dmg on 6 targets than pox storm

10 weapon ilvl is the thing tho

waxen orbit

Don't follow sims religiously

Dude a 233 trinket is BIS for prot dps lmfao

Ilvl means jack

i meant for dps

not for tank

10ilvl means fucking nothing on an offhand

Does it do more DPS in ST?

urban portal

it does

cinder nova

Even over a 252?

so i macro swap in keys

Veinripper beats any weapon in ST

HMMM.

Even a 239 beats a 259 offhand

It's kind of like an even more busted Jaithys

The rogue I run with has two so like

but jaithys is a lot better in aoe

And veinripper beats any weapon until 6 targets

Why would you equip jaythis

you can't block

waxen orbit

Nah I was talmbout for DPS spec

what do i lose for equipping vein ripper

waxen orbit

Primary stat

finna get veinripper

fuck my main stat

cinder nova
waxen orbit
#

Correct

urban portal
#

for dps specs at least

waxen orbit
#

That's why it's so fucking nutty on Outlaw rogue

urban portal
#

but its just bis on st because the damage is so high

cinder nova
#

Doesn't that mean the dot spreads more prolifically, how does that work if you can just TC/Rev DW and set it up.

waxen orbit
#

Because they can't hit past that target cap

sweet summit
cinder nova
#

Wait, so... if I have 10 mobs and I Rev to DW them all, why wouldn't 10 targets proccing Veinripper do more DPS than a 252 that just slaps harder?

#

Especially with square root scaling.

urban portal
#

because veinripper doesnt technically proc more the more you hit if its on a ppm

#

which most things in this game is

cinder nova
#

Oh, well... see nobody told me it was PPM based. I kind of figured, but talk of how batshit it was made me think otherwise.

urban portal
#

most things in this game is

#

like how cautex scammed people saying you can get more unholy procs with toys

strong forum
cinder nova
#

Sadge.

#

I thought it would just proc independently on each target you were bleeding and it got to slither around square root.

strong forum
#

Na

#

It's already broken enough

#

It does a couple hundred dps

cinder nova
#

Reminds me of Cata when tanks were using agi rings and necks because DEX scaled dodge better than STR did parry, plus it gave armor and crit.

strong forum
#

Don't need it to deal several thousand dps

distant crystal
#

i kinda miss all primary stats giving some benefits to everyone

urban portal
#

no ty

distant crystal

even though it was a pretty cursed system, it was interesting

#

ret pallies using agi polearms for the crit

urban portal

then you need to make leather gear either give agi or int

strong forum
#

Gearing has become insanely mundane, but the game is designed around that aswell. I don't want arbitrary stats like expertise/hit tho

urban portal
#

if it gives both then it would go crazy

distant crystal

enh shamans wearing weird bear leather that had STR on it

urban portal
#

its like buying insurance

idk, i got a nice lil dopamine hit when i managed to hit/expertise cap perfectly

Yeah lemme just be pissed off for no reason other than LOL you missed hitcap by 1point get fucked nerd

waxen orbit
strong forum
#

Hit cap requirements are disgusting in every game and should be removed

modern brook
#

gearing is a relic of the past

distant crystal
#

and you had nice little degen builds that sprang up because of it

waxen orbit
#

Just knowing how Blizzard does this shit now

strong forum
#

It's not fun or engaging

distant crystal
#

seems like enh shamans had a higher tendency to get those degen builds

strong forum
#

Needing to max 1 stat before you can get actual stats

distant crystal
#

like DW caster axes

#

and hardcasting lightningbolts between melee abilities

waxen orbit
#

I want gearing to be engaging and have potential for individuality and unique play style, but I don’t want another damn Azerite system

blazing condor
#

Bring back reforging

modern brook
#

hot take

#

azerite was a great system

distant crystal
#

azerite armor is conceptually better than tier

sweet summit
#

after vendor, sure

waxen orbit
distant crystal
#

they needed to 1) have vendor immediately 2) lower/remove the grind to unlock rings 3) add more interesting class/spec specific traits

strong forum
#

Azerite should've had loads more traits

modern brook
#

but like

strong forum
#

And more rings

modern brook
#

If hey didnt just dumpster the idea and move on

strong forum
#

They should've added 1 ring per tier

#

And reiterated and rerolled traits

It’s insanely difficult to balance

Instead of leaving it to rot

WHO CARES ABOUT BALANCE

azerite armor isnt hard to balance the game is

pretty balanced rn

Wna know when the game is the most fun?

The last patches of an expac when everything is unbalanced as fuck

rn is fine

outside of big outliers like enh shaman

Enhsham punchin the wall rn 🤣

Only in M+ tho

fight design>any semblance of balance

in a patchwerk

even in sims nothing is too far from each other

the classes that are shit in sims pop off in aoe

ele/ww

waxen orbit

I definitely like having specific classes that excel and falter in different areas

urban portal
#

some classes are carried by raid design too

arms isnt exactly the most poggers st spec

its right in the middle

but its very valued

#

mm is middle bottom but rwf is willing to take 3 of those into guardian

strong forum
#

Well that's also cuz bring the player

If not for Roger echo wouldn't have brought a hunter, pretty sure

urban portal

they brought 3 mms and 2 ele shams

mm is pretty amazing in p1/p2

Echo had elesham?

of guardian

You sure

im just saying the st fight

it's not like they thought ele or mm were great for guardian

whats a good Block % for melee?

80+% is a good aim

80% Blocked hits on logs

Not uptime

blazing condor

yup

hover over melee hits

ok I need to up my numbers before sending you guys the logs haha

Damage taken> melees > hover over hits

It's prone to mistakes. Missing lines etc

Intervene a dps

Or healer

Holy pala is a safe bet

cinder nova

Or just use SR and double pull like a real thundercock.

pallid musk

And then i had equip ”The wall” before ./10 pull time

cinder nova
#

What are you doing that requires that much Shield Wall uptime?

pallid musk
#

Hmm i feel its kinda easier to play ”The Wall” leggo on bosses

#

With big rage generate

cinder nova
#

Reprisal is objectively better.

#

It also generates rage when you intervene.

pallid musk
#

Yes a few bosses Represial is still good

cinder nova
#

No, all bosses.

#

There's really no boss that requires Shield Wall up enough that you should be picking The Wall over it as far as defensive value goes.

pallid musk

I used Represial on Guardian and i need that 50 % dmg reduce to migitute Sunder

Is only one boss i wish shield cd with last stand + SB would be up

I agree with Panthea about Guardian 😉

cinder nova
oblique garnet
#

Idk eye doesnt really do anything to tanks imo

urban portal
#

statistically more people use guardian than reprisal

#

i mean the wall than reprisal

#

on guardian

gaunt dawn
#

fuck damage parses

#

😡

urban portal
#

but yeah eye doesnt do anything to tanks

#

cant shield block the hit anyways

gaunt dawn
#

you telling me you dont do guardian like this?

urban portal
#

thats optimal

gaunt dawn
#

altho in that situ i'd prolly play reprisal and use externals 😐

#

or the wall and use no externals

#

either or

#

depends on MT strength

urban portal
#

damage legendary 🙂

gaunt dawn
#

or that yh

#

or hear me out roll the dice and throw down a bladestorm

#

and see what you proc

oblique garnet
#

@gaunt dawn can you give quick tanking tips for all the raid since theres a good chance i end up tanking next raid

gaunt dawn
#

ye sure

#

tarragrue

#

dont die

#

eye

#

dont fall off

#

the nine

urban portal
#

follow dbm

gaunt dawn
#

swap at 3

urban portal
#

dbm covers like 60% of tanking

jagged pier
gaunt dawn
#

remnant, see MS paint pic

urban portal
#

when i first started tanking i just blindly followed dbm

oblique garnet
gaunt dawn
#

the helm moves to a location and orbs will spawn opposite on teh same side

#

so you pre-position boss in relation to helm location

#

uh

#

i understand thats a p bad explaination

oblique garnet
#

Yeah that sounds like advanced tactics we dont do that here

gaunt dawn
#

its super simple

#

lemme stream my vod to you and explain

oblique garnet
#

Yeah we just go ook ook and aim at balls and it works out

gaunt dawn
#

come to general

#

o i cant stream there

#

uh

oblique garnet
#

Im not on pc

gaunt dawn
#

then get on a PC

#

for this once in a lifetime

#

raid overview

oblique garnet
gaunt dawn
#

its 8am

#

hello?

oblique garnet
#

Its 10

gaunt dawn
#

so in this SS

#

the helm just moved

#

so i've moved the boss knowing that the orbs will spawn here

oblique garnet
#

Ok but why do you need to premove when you can just move the boss once the orbs spawn?

gaunt dawn
#

because you know where the orbs will spawn

#

so why not premove

#

it increases dps

#

follow up when the orbs spawned

#

diff angle but you can see its all one big L

oblique garnet
#

See now you fucked over all the melee by premoving so theres swirlies on orbs

#

🤔

gaunt dawn
#

not rly, melee is never completely blocked out

#

i increased dps from the hunters by having boss in position ready for cleave

#

shit melee will get hit by swirlies

oblique garnet
#

Fuck the hunters

gaunt dawn
#

D:

#

anyway, that's remnant

#

soulrender, swap at 1, if you're DK start on boss

#

Painsmith, if you're speedy start on boss

#

Guardian, what tank are you on?

oblique garnet
#

Warrior

gaunt dawn
#

What lego?

oblique garnet
#

Id be doing our palas job so taunting combos

gaunt dawn
#

for ease just play wall and shield wall + SR each combo

oblique garnet
#

On every boss id do what our pala does

#

Ill play maut trinket get those rank 1 hps logs

gaunt dawn
#

fatescribe (xd who does this boss anymore) swap @ 1. use something for each swap (short CD) save all big shit for intermission

#

KT save all big shit for intermission

#

Sylv get your pala to run through this

#

welcome to my ted talk

#

let's jump on into it

oblique garnet
#

90% sure i can do everything except maybe sylv

#

Without any issues

cinder nova
gaunt dawn
#

I'd say a solid 90% of tanks dont know externals exist

#

or their own CDs 😟

autumn pendant
#

Externals? Is that sequel to Eternals?

cinder nova
#

Yeah, which is why I said what I said. Optimizing around shitty play is suboptimal.

gaunt dawn
#

The only thing that is strat agnostic for sylv would be on first add platform in p2, get a dps to taunt goliath (with an immune of some sort) after the summoner/soulrender dies

#

to reset the stacks

oblique garnet
gaunt dawn
#

but if that DPS is havoc DH, it doesnt reset stacks

#

🙃

oblique garnet
#

Yeah we have warriors

autumn pendant
oblique garnet
#

Yup

gaunt dawn
#

i called for GS yesterday 👀

oblique garnet
#

And mw

cinder nova
#

I mean, there's dudes clearing it with EM. Generally speaking, you're gonna be hard-pressed to find opportunities where Wall is outpacing the general usefulness of Reprisal. Guardian and maybe Sylv are the closest cases because they have pretty regular mechanics that can one-shot if you're not topped off or you're low.

#

The point was that this dude thought Wall was ideal on several bosses over Rep.

gaunt dawn
#

Sylv your lego choice depends on your p3 duty

cinder nova
#

Which is just not true.

gaunt dawn
#

are you tanking the boss or scoop bitch

#

or a weirdo even split strat

cinder nova
#

I mean if you're tanking you could just go EM and clown.

#

Not like you're taking any real damage outside of Ranger's Heartseeker.

jagged pier
#

Yer but he aint that good on guardian im only just behind him on dps and im using the wall and he also gets a PI

#

U also have to stack crit to get benefit out of it

cinder nova
#

What, EM?

jagged pier
#

Yes em

cinder nova
#

I guess I'm just a meter monkey, then. I got 30% crit and 10% vers

#

I'm actively sniping Crit/Vers

#

I'm letting ITF fill in my Haste.

jagged pier
#

Meh i do the same/ more damage than most ppl running pure dps leggos, theres literally no need for them can be more tanky and do the same damage

cinder nova
#

I actually don't remember the last time I used Rep.

#

Pretty much since Cov leggos became a thing I've been rolling NF and EM.

#

I will say I've considered it on Soulrender.

#

He seems to hit way harder than most Mythic bosses.

gaunt dawn
#

Guardian + Tarragrue hit the hardest

#

Soulrender has a v slight overlap each tank swap

#

for 1 melee swing

#

have something up for each swap on Soulrender and you're fine

pallid musk
#

Soulrender you have to solo tank for entire 40 sec with Ruinblade debuff. I feel kinda hard to survive 40 sec with only shield block and not swap

#
  • do one of the chains assigned grip which include external
#

A defensive trinket would help to survive in mid when SB uptime is about to recharge

#

Fatescribe as BDK is great - 70 % slow movement speed on mob.

#

I talking about heroic/mythic tank here repair Protection

#

Ignore DPS prase. Full tank and don’t cause a raid wipe. A tank or healer dies = raid wipe

#

😊

pallid musk
gaunt dawn
#

yes i know what the debuff is

#

my inquiry was about your situation

#

as it seems entirely self made

pallid musk
#

Mm, yes i were wondering how to make the best effoct to tank with this debuff

gaunt dawn
#

swap after each hit

#

recast time is 35s

#

debuff duration is 40s

#

so you have 5s where you have a debuff and are tanking

#

but during those 5s

#

boss casts

#

so you take 1 melee hit

pallid musk
#

So the asap taunt swap or delay with a few second is best?

gaunt dawn
#

either works

#

i prefer to do it asap

#

as you're in control of that increased dmg window

#

fresh off of not tanking with a bunch of shit to burn

#

as a warrior you can IP ramp before the swap

#

and have a juiced shield for that empowered hit

jagged pier
#

Block should just be enough

gaunt dawn
#

but ye, block is plenty

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

phys dmg is kinda warriors sweet spot

pallid musk
#

Yes possibly IP and then taunt -> press SB. Make sure you had that one recharge

#

Of 2 SB

No worry. I can’t hear anyway

pallid musk

Or supposed be born as deaf, waering hearing aids

gaunt dawn

i've looked through your logs already

😄

did you like how your soulrender strat changed this reset

pallid musk
#

Oh, how? 😅

gaunt dawn
#

CC the agonizers

#

😎

pallid musk
#

Ah that

#

Pain

#

Best attempt went 46 %

gaunt dawn
#

your RL asked Mandl who then asked me to look at your logs

pallid musk
#

That right

#

And i do my best to get ”wel prepared”

#

😜

gaunt dawn
#

iirc you're now wiping to chains?

#

and not popping them fast enough

#

so you get the cone overlap

pallid musk
#

Yea, we wiping on chains or Dance

gaunt dawn
#

for dance i have this text WA i made on the right

#

shows all the possible dance combinations

#

so you know the rest of the dance after a few steps

#

mythic has 7 set patterns

#

heroic has 3?

pallid musk
#

I removed this WA because it were bugged but will use again when i can.

gaunt dawn
#

normal has 2

pallid musk
#

Ah, 4 new pattens?

gaunt dawn
#

they're all new

#

as none of them are left to right/right to left

#

each of those numbers relate to a section

#

can probs put in a WA request for a master/slave type WA for the combos

#

as an adaptation of like the fatescribe one

#

where one person inputs the combo

#

once its solved

#

pushes to all others

#

we didnt need it for prog/farm cos uh

#

we can hear

#

but i can see it being useful for you

pallid musk
#

Yes useful. I do intervene/ charge Soulrender and heroic leap. Some times we use wind speed totem / stampande

#

My goal has always been run to middle each reset of dance or stay in soulshape

#

Its kinda rough but manageable.

gaunt dawn
#

@south yarrow

#

fancy building a fancy WA for the Undaunted lads?

pallid musk
#

Would be petty cool if he fancy to help us.

gaunt dawn
#

or @tranquil wadi (if you're still taking requests)

south yarrow
gaunt dawn
#

The request brief would be 2 WA's:

User:
Display list of combinations
Each time leader inputs a combo step it will update for users.
Once only one solution remains only show that solution.

Leader:
Displays list, but with buttons above it.
Leader inputs steps to populate WA for users.

south yarrow
#

Ah for soulrender

#

Wasn't there a similar WA to it?

gaunt dawn
#

yeah but its only the leader part

south yarrow
#

Ahh

gaunt dawn
#

lemme find the wago link for that one

south yarrow
#

Sure

gaunt dawn
#

if that one could be modified to send the result to users

#

that's essentially it

south yarrow
#

Does it need to eliminate combinations though? It's probably easier to just have 1-2-3-4 you can click

#

when the RL sees which one it is next

gaunt dawn
#

eliminating combinations would be a nice to have

#

like desaturating them

#

can also be real dirty and just read from RW

#

and leader one just sents out a RW like

#

SRH4

#

SRH1

south yarrow
#

Yeah that's what I did for the fatescribe P3 clicking

gaunt dawn
#

i know the reloe one does it all hidden like

south yarrow
#

typing shit in /raid is less of a headache than using addon channel

gaunt dawn
#

so like here for @pallid musk

#

i know what the full dance is gonna be whilst we're all in the first one

#

You can see 1 as the first bit

#

then you're watching 2/3

#

if its 2 then its 4-1-3
if its 3 then its 1-4-2

#

or if it ever starts with 3, there's only 1 sequence

#

Guys do you advise doing the zol'ramus necromancer skip in NW?

#

the first one

#

after the tormented lieutenant

strong forum
#

Zol ramus?

#

Who dat

#

I know about nerzudah or w/e his name is, the one infront of the bridge, that one tends to be skipped on fort weeks I think... But is also pretty common to play him now

jagged pier
#

Who dat fuck os zol ramus?

ionic plank
#

I think he means the necromancer packs

#

the main guy that you kill is called 'zolramus necromancer' I think

strong forum
#

Those you never do

#

They're bad to pull

ionic plank
#

kinda bad to kill

#

yeah

#

even though you only dps the main guy you're still dealing with a whole pack for 1.5%

pallid musk
#

Rough pack with much magic damage.

#

Spell reflect is one i can figure out to make it more common to kill. With dk i could do this pack easy regardless key level. The Anti magic Shell + icebound fortitude but warrior is physical tanks

strong forum
#

If you're talking about nerzudah, you use anime orb there

pallid musk
#

Yes orb near goliath + Kyrian orb is helpful

sick sentinel
#

This probably sounds stupid question but I guess if dps is low a potential reason is not being in melee range enough cuz I'm not doing correct cds that would allow me to stay in melee all times? Like by not doing enough/correct sb/reflect/wall I'm just getting scared of some dmg that shouldn't matter and running out to kite?

pallid musk
#

The bleeding damage from revenge/ravange would be in tick

sick sentinel
#

Don't have 5 dom sockets but I do have 243 ilvl now, and I ran a second 13 dos with ideal kyrian rep talents, did 4.8k which is better, but still not where I want it like 6 k +

pallid musk
#

I do demo shout/Ravanage + Avatar on big packs

sick sentinel
#

Whatever I need to do to improve is what I have to learn I gues

pallid musk
#

Demo / Ravange is 45 sec cd together which is nice to increease damage

sick sentinel
#

Nerzudah if that's the nw guy he's a pain in the ass but he's just avoid swirls and reflect and interrupt

#

Kinda find the 2 skeleton warriors right after just as bad fort since they can cleave wipe your party not turned around

#

On a long narrow passage bridge too

pallid musk
#

I use berseker rage to remove the fear. Its near same with Dks Lichbone but shorter cd

#

And his swings hurt, yea

sick sentinel
#

I dunno say what you will about retarded dks and I believe the meme cuz I played with one for so long they are really handy to have around I'll say that

sick sentinel
#

Oh, you just mentioned dks, some people can't stand them

#

I love having them in groups, but not playing as one

pallid musk
#

Yes all tanks har their strengths and weaks

#

Warrior is really nice in outpost damage with Kyrian spear / Ravage/ Avatar

sick sentinel
#

Even as dps even uh don't enjoy their play style

pallid musk
#

You mean dk or warrior?

sick sentinel
#

Dk, I just can't do it for some reason chief

pallid musk
#

Why not?

sick sentinel

Same with monk, go into battle and fall over, have better understanding of warrior

Usually shouldn't need Hammer there

lofty widget
#

as long as you dispell ner zudahs immunity it will melt with the orb alone

viral arch
#

namely, amarth shields

#

wasting a hammer on nar'zhudah makes very little sense in the grand scheme of things as the orb deals with the dangerous part (when the other 3 casters are up)

sick sentinel
#

I have a giant weak aura pack for spell reflecting, and it shows a bar when said thing is cast and I put a electric noise on it, 2 things I want to get right about those weak auras is I'd like to set them so they can only activate if cast time is less than Sr uptime, that way I don't hit Sr on a 8 second cast, more dps

#

And going to add "try not to interrupt ABC bolted me if Sr icon is up" to dungeon mark announce

#

Saw one of you reflect 2m in spires jealou

ionic plank
#

the trick for spires is real simple, it's just shockwaving the etherwings mid-cast, which lines up their casts after the stun

#

and you can reflect every one of them at once

autumn pendant
#

Big dam

blazing condor
#

yeah when you wanna reflect the easiest way to get them to line up is like Chawie said

#

wait until one of them starts casting

#

shockwave them all

#

then they all line up

quaint rune
#

calling all chads, whats gonna net more overall dps, Kyrian seismic or Night fae leggo?

#

speed running 15s maybe up to 18s

sick sentinel
#

i never platyed it but i played NL and KY, NF is better dps

ionic plank
#

I mean, if you really want overall, probably a full crit build with EM, but it's way too early to say what tuning there is going to be

sick sentinel
#

i got 262 glory/rep going for KY legs soon for both arms and dual leggos eventual

quaint rune
#

i dont wanna buff my dps and lower healer dps at same time, so i dunno if crit will be overall faster

#

maybe it will be though fuck i dunno so many options

sick sentinel
#

hard to say if its really worth, ditching the 230 crafted socketed haste neck atm

#

drops me from shy of 35% to 30.something% haste

ionic plank
#

you dont need to make that decision now at all

the patch is a long, long way away

sick sentinel
#

its incredibly feasible to get all 4 covenants story completed and reknown 80, all that in say a week or so per cov from 40

first 10 or so are just instantly handed to you and you get to like 60-65 just by doing story lines
