Im enjoying it

#

i like being helpful and at the end the DPS are always like WOAH i pumped!

sick sentinel
#

as opposed to execute say, even for prot, it shouldn't really do a ton of damage but it uses all your rage

crystal iris
#

usually i have all the rage at start of pull not finish

#

Healer whispered me asking to come to more runs 🙂

sick sentinel
#

this was the purpose of the 3 tab guy for necro with carvers eye and execute conduit

crystal iris
#

i rarely have enough rage to dump into more than 2 executes

sick sentinel
#

so, for TOP, first and last boss its arguable u could use lust and necro banner when first of 3 goes to execute range

#

cuz, p3 final top is tough too, and then the idea is you just kinda use banner whenever but prefer execute-ish ranges hp for trash

#

I like it. I forget about last stand a lot

sick sentinel
#

press LS with ava is a good move on pull right after rav>charge>ss>demo yeah?

crystal iris
#

I think im pretty happy with the fact that the healer only had to do 5k HPS and only 26% of heals on me. I usually see tanks needing 30-35% healing. Healed himself more than he had to heal me

sick sentinel
#

or after rav but before charge?

#

my HPS hovers around 2k, should be like, i dunno, closer to 3k like u with proper rotation and mechanics

lofty widget
#

ill usually LS after i place rav, with avatar and spear most of that extra rage would be wasted anyway

#

hps is a pretty bad metric tbh

crystal iris
#

Yeah but % healing on each player is a betterish metric no?

sick sentinel
#

yeah, true, it counts that giga bubble from m+ torgy powers as a heal lmao

crystal iris
#

On my healer if I have the tank on IV healing the whole run at the end ill notice that 38% of all my heals went to them

#

but in a run where i dont heal the tank as much i will have more healing done on myself and 25-30% on the tank

sick sentinel
#

i find my self often picking the power that gives crit, because relatively speaking i have low crit % for what is meta for us or ocassionally the one that gives quasi-avoidance to group if i know there is little trash to final

#

but stoneward is just way too good to not take. -15% mdmg just can't compete, same with drippy

#

next time we have spiteful with the ghosts someone try taking 5th skull or i might try it too.

crystal iris
sick sentinel
#

how much is your dps in said keys

#

i'm pressing some more buttons and had 5.6k last dungeon, has been as low as like 3k lol

crystal iris
#

Yeah it’s between 5-6k usually. Once I get more comfortable in higher keys I hope to be able to get it up a bit. Also as necro my Dps will be lower than if I was kyrian

#

I like emeni more than bone smith I think.

sick sentinel
#

when i was doing bonesmith i was also taking resourceful so that i could place in vetran and later get the execute one too, as well as a defensive through lowered FC

What are the thoughts on the new set bonuses? We’re gonna become clap bots again?

sick sentinel
#

the part where the 2set buff that stacks to 8 does nothing is ????? as in like, wat?

Yea that looks like we have been cheated 🤣

sick sentinel
#

literal just any dumb effect on there

#

+whatever per stack

thick slate
#

Hope it’s just a missing description. But I can already feel unstoppable force and anger management coming back.

sick sentinel
#

i am already picking am

thick slate
#

I’m running hr, but I was thinking to try.

sick sentinel
#

it's currently the play for meta keys because you get more damage through avatar reduction and better damage reduction than HR overall because SW better for magic

#

yes, you don't need HR in keys, it is complete overkill unless you run high lvl keys more than 22's say

thick slate
#

We don’t really run a very meta comp, but I’ll give it a try. I just don’t want to sacrifice ravager. One less button feels bad honestly

#

Also no we’re only at 19-20 now

sick sentinel
#

pretty sure you don't drop ravager for itf in keys if thats what your thinking

#

hr and am is last row, rav is 2nd last row

thick slate
#

So it’s still isn’t worth to go unstoppable even if you get more avatars?

sick sentinel
#

no, not at all, ravage is better

thick slate
#

Hmm. That sounds good then!

mighty valley
#

they're just building up to the huge SS

sick sentinel
#

it could be an AOE explosion for 1500 damage say within 5 yards each time it triggers at 50-90% chance to go off, stat buff could be short time after proc occurs, 3 seconds. could be heal, dmg buff

mighty valley
#

you're right, it could be something enormously overpowered

#

the exciting part is building up to a big hit - they could tune it with more passive buff stuff if they want but that would take away power budget from the SS buff

Hey guys, how much haste should be targeted by default to tank in mythic +?

crystal iris
#

target? 20+ ?

mighty valley
#

As much as you can get on your highest ilvl gear

#

There's no magic number

green python
#

Okay thanks 🙂
and for level 45 talents, "into the fray" & "ravager" seems to be viable, how do you make the choice? :p

mighty valley
#

Always Ravager in M+

#

Generally ITF in raids

mighty valley
#

Np! Good luck

sick sentinel
#

40% from stats is where you want to stop

#

this counts from items and potions anything that is a stat haste, after 30% and 40% you take 10% and 20% less from haste, 1050 and 1200 for 30% and 40%

green python
#

@mighty valley @crystal iris @sick sentinel Thank you for the clarification! 🙂

sick sentinel
#

do note that things like blood lust, or that say % haste, do not count towards tihs

green python
crystal iris
#

when you are not in combat

sick sentinel
#

because its reading the number on your haste stat to determine tax, but blood lust doesn't matter it won't tax your for being lusted

#

because it doesn't increase haste by a number, just a %

#

these guys get close to 40% haste through good gear and trinkets from current raid, OWS, glory, and alternatively, AFE from spires keys to bridge the gap.

crystal iris
#

anyone have a way I can announce when my necro banner is up. I use RSA addon and it doesnt show cov abilities?

sick sentinel
#

i'd just do WA have it post a chat message, the owner has a feedback section in options could send them a DM, i know they have updated it in the past

ionic fern
sick sentinel
#

no, because then everytime its hit off cd it spams hell out of chat and gets annoying

ionic fern
#

Why would you hit it off CD?

sick sentinel
#

accident, but people may confuse you actually having the banner up or not because they saw the message in chat and burn a CD, this is the issue he is trying to avoid

ionic fern
#

? 😂

urban portal
#

if you are hitting an ability when its on cd

#

thats your fault

sick sentinel

true enough, it would be to reduce future confusion

#

Its okay i know i wasnt the best but the 245 ilvl tank was pulling was pulling like 10-15 mobs for a group of 230 ilvl dps and heals, with no voice communication. So i was expecting to fail. Im just happy i did it. Highest kry ive ever done.

#

Yeah it is but those people are coordinated and geared, we were all low 230ish ilvl maybe a oittle lower besides the tank. I get people can do it but not us when the tank is pulling 10-15 mobs and expecting it to go well with no communication or warning

urban portal
#

Not to be rude but people were doing 15-18s with 226 gear so that's definitely not the isdue

With gear like that the tank can do single group pulls on a straightforward route and time it with room to spare

Don't do a yogi and try to double pull trash + lts in m+ even if your are running an 11 for skyhold discord

#

I did that twice in top 11 the other day

inland raft
#

Trash on lts is dependent on which lt and what trash but it generally isnt a problem but also isn’t necessary at lower keys

sick sentinel
#

it was the LT trash just inside abomb wing and teleport wing

#

only 11 tyranical but tab throwed the green guy and not sure about the golem, but got him too,

sick sentinel
#

this is top abomb wing where the LT is, how do i make sure i don't get the abomb always in future runs if i have to go get lt

Throw weapon and back up

#

Do you still have a chance to block attack even if you don’t have shield block up?

lofty widget
#

yes, but dont count on it

#

it's like 25 % iirc

sick sentinel
#

depends on your mastery stat, which generally isn't good to put points into actively

#

you want points into haste and crit, or possibly versa, for raids

inland raft
#

Its haste>vers>crit=mastery

#

With ilvl on top ofc

sick sentinel
#

hard to go wrong with haste versa

But critttttt 📈

sick sentinel

im tryin to get my crit up

i would be happy to have close to 20% crit and 30 some haste

nothing wrong with versa haste at all though, probably good for arms/fury, or raiding or pvp

is there a way to regain aggro on a pull where ravager/spear/avatar is on cooldown?

spamming revenge and thunder clap is not enough

#

maybe I should not cast all my damage CDs on a single pull but keep them for more pulls?

pallid musk
#

I would go Represial with charge->revenge->SB->intervene->Revenge

#

To make sure have high SB uptime

jagged pier
#

so u number 1 probably arent spamming revenge or TC

and number 2 probably not hitting the mobs with revenge

# lilac bloom STUCK on mythic nezhul

getting a good phase can help tremendously; good time on a prog kill would be to phase after a suffering into balls (just hold DPS for timing if you want). After phasing use personals, big healer CDs, rally, then its lust, do one set of dispels (assuming double dispel strat) and knock your raid into chest armor and wait until that knockback happens.

#

After that, its pretty much free as long as you have your DPS alive and they correctly used all their CDs in P3

lilac bloom
#

YAH we got him to 28%

#

then alot of ppl were dying b4 that

#

mainly due to p3 that dark thing on the floor and the one that does knock back

and melovelance at the same time

plush tendon
#

Without looking at a log, its hard to tell

lilac bloom
#

but i see a few ppl keep running through me during suffering and melovelance

#

yah i have to log it next time

plush tendon
#

but I can say this: do your double dispell ASAP and then set up in front of the chest. Dont worry if shit is dropping where the raid is stacked as long as the chest will time out soon (since youll be knocked out of it)

#

Also, do you have people assigned to throwing balls off?

yah we did

we assigned

The point of playing necro is to just full send into buffing the group

kk, is there a weakaura like the PI one? so the boomis can call for the banner?

chilly brook

Idk if there is, I wouldn't make a change like this for prog though

Do any of you also play brewmaster ? I am doubting a bit which tank to play. Anyone that plays both ?

#

Mainly wondering about (I) playstyle difficulty difference and (2) damage output wise (mainly m+)

blazing condor
#

i dabbled just a little so my opinion isn't of much value

#

brewmaster was fun and would deal pretty good damage

#

a lot of buttons to press

#

and playstyle centers a lot around handling brews and absorb + stagger

#

but i liked it

late rampart
#

Brew definitely has higher dmg than warrior. Brew tankiness is just okay. Good enough to get the job done, but I wouldn’t put it above prot warrior.

#

Prot warrior with reprisal takes the least melee damage. And just like prot warrior can be, brew monk I feel I struggle against bleeds/magic damage. At least with warrior I feel ai have better tools to handle having shieldwall, spell reflect, and demo shout.

#

Ultimately both tanks are perfectly good, and I find both very fun. (Probably my 2 favorites to play personally of playing all 6 tanks in m+). Tank balance is extremely close right now when you compare to any other point in the game. Play whichever of the 2 you find to be more fun/engaging 🙂

#

Ah and I guess I missed your playstyle difficulty difference. I really wouldn’t say either is particularly tougher than the other. Brewmaster playstyle will be an adjustment if you have no experience with it/ have only played prot warrior. Guess I would say all tanks pretty much fall into a category of easy to pickup, difficult to master. So it’s up to you how difficult a tank like brewmaster would be. If you put in the time to learn and practice it, you can become great a brew just like any other tank.

rugged gyro
#

I wouldnt say really close, bear legendary needs toned down. God mode every 3 minutes is kind of far beyond what other tanks are capable of

#

But prot warrior is really solid, i love playing mine more than most other tanks

late rampart
#

True. I should add my playstyle is like 15-20 keys and doing packs of reasonable size at a time. Pushing to the top of keys, and doing incarn style bear pulls don’t really apply to me.

#

But yes, incarn bear can accomplish something no other tanks can match currently.

rugged gyro
#

I was just saying if i could shield wall, and pull half a dungeon and live for 30 seconds without having my HP bar drop. That would be balance

#

lol

fringe folio
#

Thanks for the info all. Did help 🙂

rugged gyro
#

The only thing i wish they would change it make revenge cost no rage, but have the shield slam proc, just reset a cooldown.

If they did that, i wouldnt play any other tank

Monk raid damage is insane

#

If you click off your mastery

late rampart
#

Yea you can pump your damage from dave even higher by being degenerate. But under normal circumstances with normal dave use, still more damage. And obviously brew monk’s damage from dave will scale up with key level as you take more and more damage.

chilly brook
#

Nah

#

Warrior definitely performs better in keys in terms of damage

late rampart
#

Simply not true… prot warrior damage is not bad by any means. But brewmaster does more damage. Just check warcraftlogs.com if you are unconvinced.

chilly brook
#

Also I think monk survivability is pretty fuckin solid tbh

chilly brook
#

late rampart
#

Guessing you are talking about seismic reverb? Strong legendary that does big dam in aoe. But more practically you are going to be running reprisal to survive. And loses out in a tyrannical week situation versus a fortified.

chilly brook
#

Trash damage isn't suddenly devalued on tyran

late rampart
#

True. But trash dies faster leading to less damage from the legendary. And boss fights take longer leading to less damage from the legendary.

#

In lower keys pwar defo does alot more dmg than brew

#

But in high keys monk does more dmg pwar

But that will prolly change in 9.2 cuz monks get legit 0 dmg from set or legendaries

Yup. I didn’t realize he was refering to prot war in a low key using seismic.

#

How is using an ability in your spellbook abuse?

chilly brook
#

Using the ability itself isn't

#

But parsing and generally doing damage comes down to taking huge amounts of damage inside your dave window

late rampart
#

You don’t have to intentionally take extra damage in a high key, the damage comes to you.

chilly brook
#

Your damage outside of it isn't bad

late rampart
#

In a high key you naturally take huge amounts of damage. So it isn’t an abuse of any sort…

chilly brook
#

I'm aware the damage comes to you

strong forum
#

I think the goal of 27+ keys is not to get the most overall dps as a tank

#

And I'm talking 27+

#

In those levels monks do the most dmg

chilly brook
#

What I am saying is that Dave is a huge portion of the damage you deal if you're going for damage

#

And it's kinda a weird thing to inherently want to take more damage to deal more damage

late rampart
#

By your argument I could argue that revenge is a huge portion of your damage when you use seismic. So what? Why does it matter?

chilly brook
#

They both function quite differently?

#

I stopped playing my monk as soon as I realized I would need to do stupid stuff in raid to actually parse

late rampart
#

If you’re saying you don’t like how dave CD works, meaning more damage leading to more purified damage leading to more stomp damage? Sure, don’t disagree. But doesn’t invalidate brew monks, or make Nom wrong.

chilly brook
#

I didn't say he was wrong

#

I just said it goes back to abusing the ever living fuck out of Dave

late rampart
#

But it’s basically a separate discussion from if monks do the most damage.

mellow bridge
#

not like dave abuse really matters in raid parses unless youre going for 99+ or smth like that

#

(unless the parse meta suddenly really shifted from nathria to now which is when i played brm)

chilly brook
#

Kekw

#

Not saying it's a perfect analysis between the three

#

But you're seeing the difference between an 83, 94 and 100

#

In terms of making up the dps difference it's literally basically dave on the 83 and 94

late rampart
#

In raids there is degenerate abuse. But in keys it is just natural use.

And what about trinkets? For higher keys cause i am just starting to push 18/19’s scale 252 but what is the best next to it? Defensive wise

strong forum
#

aegis + reactive defense matrix

#

scale is worse than aegis

fading dirge
#

Yeah I run aegis and Defense matrix in my 19s

strong forum
#

well for 19s thats overkill

#

but thats the bis defensive trinket setup

sick sentinel
strong forum
#

where have you been all patch keksquad

fading dirge
strong forum
#

i guess?

sick sentinel
#

Also depending on healer i geuss?

#

What kind of healer i mean

strong forum
#

not rly

#

you shouldnt need full defensive trinkets in 19s

#

its not illegal to run it

#

but defo shouldnt be needed

sick sentinel
#

Yeah i just ran a 19 with a pug pala dps who loved to not avoid shit and wanted to stack with quaking and a priest healer who is always been holy an swapped to disc a week ago for the first time

#

So yeah i needed it xD

#

priest i was running with was disc i guess and he give me PI that i totally wastd

#

i dunno if he gave it to me alot but at least once

inland raft
#

Aegis/reactive is what i run on my pally cuz i dont have anything else yet keksquad

#

Hoping for ows out of box, i dont even have a reactive on my war had one drop but gave it to someone else, i need to pump CatjamR

ebon geyser
#

so with this class changes and hoping blizz dont gut the tier set , is it kyrian now the way to go instead of NF?

sick sentinel
#

i really need to get going on venthyr quest line and NF quest line

#

just to have them done

#

but, i have to go arms or somethin, no god damn way i can do venth tank, just won't work

ebon geyser
#

my paladin is Kyrian at the moment and if i have to switch i will go vent with pally and kyrian with warrior

#

for just tanking i dont dabble in dps lol

sick sentinel
#

i was TRYING to do venth, like, immeadiately afte ri got necro 80 as my second, and it was also for story credit

#

and i got to some stupid bridge quest and if i leave the zone i fail the quest tried for about 20 minutes and said to hell with it

#

that, and, execute at full hp, yeah, too much rage dump

ebon geyser
#

if u get to 80 on Kyrian and i swap back to NF do i have to start at 40 or both will be 80

sick sentinel
#

u keep everything

#

nothing drops

ebon geyser
#

well i though if i had one at 80 all will be at 80 and i could swap freely and that was a lie

sick sentinel
#

only thing u have to do is set ur conduit paths (not the conduits themself) on swap

#

take the quest

ebon geyser
#

i dont wanna level 40 lvls im lazy

inland raft
#

Theres a weakaura that will auto set your soulbind based on class/spec

ebon geyser
#

i swap my lock from nf to necro and i almost cried when i saw him at 40

#

i though once i had one at 80 all covenants go to 80

sick sentinel
#

i'm totally against it but i'm doing it anyways and i'm gunna roll NF for a bit at least

ebon geyser
#

without leveling

#

so i kinda dont wanna risk it

lofty widget
#

40-80 doesnt take that long, just spam torghast layer 9

sick sentinel
#

starting at 40 nf

ebon geyser
#

i mean if the synergy of kyrian and the tier set is that good or good or even better that NF , i dont mind swapping my pally to venthyr

sick sentinel
#

i have had success with 10 and 11 torgy's but not fond of 12 or 11 for farm

#

11/12 just hits a bit too much, too much going on for zombie farm no brain

inland raft
#

9 is most efficient

sick sentinel
#

do you go in groups

#

i typically go in a group of 5 close to m+ run,i know if you get avatar last stand ones you cant lose, and the shout ones that make target take more, demo last longer

#

and then, so, the mobs just fall over

inland raft
#

I just play as arms and solo

#

Run straight to boss each floor and blow it up

Necro with glory will be very strong in raid scenario. Tough to say at this point if it can beat out kyrian/NF in m+ scenario though.

sick sentinel
#

if i have to make a guess, necro glory will be haste, crit, then mastery, we have to see what final AP values are going to be like but probably nothing really change

#

use shield block...

#

im not a math guy too much but i know all these spells have co-efficients like they are calcuated by 250 base dmg+ (35%ap x2) <-made up one

#

so, if something ends up doing more damage might change things, doubtful though

late rampart
#

Conqueror’s banner does no direct damage. Gives you 20% str from conduit, 400 mastery to you and 2 party members (3 with glory) and 4 rage per second. The idea is that since glory legendary allows you to extend the buff substantially (1 min long on 2 min CD or 50% uptime) that the extra 4 rage per second becomes huge combined with anger management leading to more rage spent leading to more avatar uptime with the 4p bonus of 10% more dmg and 10% less dmg taken.

#

The reality though is it is hard to imagine it is viable to reach such uptimes in m+. Where going pack to pack your buff could drop off. Maybe on tyrannical weeks it is a solid play and you pop it on every boss? 🤷‍♂️

#

It is a much more promising theory for raid right now than for m+. Although certain fights in raid will likely make it not playable due to certain downtimes potentially. Have to see the fights. But on fights it works on it could be pretty insane.

ebon geyser
#

i mean i only care mainly about raid m+ is extra

sick sentinel
#

i almost feel like you'd use it between the hp gaps of condem, like, so, in the main phase of fighting most bosses

#

and it ends as boss is going low, like that's how i'd imagine it being useful

#

so, maybe you'd do it at 70% on some tyranical guy, so you can push p3 faster, top final?

ocean yoke
#

barring any tuning kyrian would probably still be a very competitive choice for m+. the damage from it is nuts

#

i would guess over necro for sheer ease of use if literally nothing else

sick sentinel
#

so, if nobody is in range does nobody get the buff?

#

somehow you press it at totally wrong moment

ebon geyser
#

i mean NF fairy slam is good too

sick sentinel
#

i'm working on nf but i dunno if i ever finish it lol

#

see wht i can do, i'm crafting that 262 whenever i get chance, i have a whole bunch of leggos need it too

ocean yoke
#

i like fae, but i also love 40s cd spears

sick sentinel
ocean yoke
#

i usually go fae during raid reclear, gotta keep kyrian for prog since i started prog as it and wanna be as consistent as possible

sick sentinel
#

sob is fantastic

ocean yoke
#

itll be a shame losing all these options going into next xpac

#

still a chance some are kept around somehow as talents etc but still

sick sentinel
#

it'll be fun while it lasted, if your idiot enough to try

#

haha

ocean yoke
#

im very dumb ill always try

ocean yoke
#

at 60 or so for fae, everything past getting final trait is just some small conduit stuff so doesnt matter

#

ive got all but 3 or 4 at 252 anyway

ebon geyser
#

so u have 80 in kyrian and 60 on fae

ocean yoke
#

yeah

#

i was at 40 before on fae anyway since i was it for a bit last patch

ebon geyser
#

and u mean to tell me when u switch from one to another they stay at the same level

#

80 and 60

ocean yoke
#

yeah if youve hit 80 on one youre good to swap around freely

ebon geyser
#

because if thats the case i will def go kyrian on my warrior and go venthyr on my pally if when i swap they stay both at 80 once they are 80

ocean yoke
#

make sure youre 80 with one cov or youll need to cap after swap but yeah after youve done that youre good

#

just 3 clicks at the oribos npcs from a different covenant

ebon geyser
#

yeah my pally is 80

#

on kyrian

#

and warrior in nf

ocean yoke
#

can swap around all you want then

do you guys prefer shard of annhylde's aegis or blood splatter scale for tanking m+. i got shard at 239 and splattered at 246 . Wondering which one to use

mellow bridge
#

Aegis >>>> scale for m+

#

Scale is good, but aegis is just straight up broken to be honest

urban portal
#

run both

#

🙂

left temple
#

15 SD

#

am i playing the game right

trim bay
#

hey guys i hope this isnt a stupid question. in regards to dom socket gear whats the ilvl we sacrifice. like is the shard we put in worth 20 plus ilvl? for example if we have a 3 set is it worth using a 252 bracres over a 239 bracers with dom socket?

warped mulch
#

How much of a sim trap is ISD on a prot warrior? I have a ISD 13 ilvl higher than power crystal and it is simming a bit higher, you know for those farm fights where I act like a degenerate and use no tank trinkets, but I have heard ISD never really performs as well as it sims.

sick sentinel
#

I q d?

#

If if it's that one we need a weak aura because it can do other things you don't want like restore healer mana

warped mulch
#

yeah, IQD

sick sentinel
#

My understanding is you want to trigger it to give Stat buffs, or do executes, but I never used it much due to seemingly random nature

warped mulch
#

right, just not sure how accurate the sims are on it for beating out a -13 ilvl power crystal

sick sentinel
#

Well it can restore healer mana, heal you or make earth elemental is tank dudes

#

So it's probably too hard to do in practice to where it increase dps

#

Oh and it functions as normal pvp trinket as well if you get steeped say (haven't tested against sheep page says "removes cc"

urban portal
#

its good

#

in terms of damage

#

its better in m+

#

it gives like double the stats of IQD at double the cd

#

its not a sim trap

#

and its not random

#

you know what its going to do always

#

you just cant control it

warped mulch
#

well, the stats are

sick sentinel
#

I think the trick to making that work was you wait for full party hp before pull and then go iqd avatar charge normal stuff

urban portal
#

the stats are one of your top 2 stats

#

so its always going to be good

sick sentinel
#

And you could more or less garuntee more iqd Stat boosts

#

I never used that trinket power crystal more than handful of times

#

And felt like I was wasting my time and effort when I did, then again crit

#

Gear set I have wouldn't allow crit to be chosen then, not enough nearly

#

13-16% atm I think on crit

urban portal
#

its not the %

#

its the number

#

anyways getting vers and haste is fine

sick sentinel
#

Yeah my base crit from crit gear alone no buffe is that number

urban portal
#

thats a %

#

not a number

sick sentinel
#

I want to say like 340 but I was going to swap to glory try in torghast

urban portal
#

anyways opc and iqd are both fine

#

and its not sim bait in m+

sick sentinel
#

So, use slightly different gear

#

Yeah cuz gunna go craft nf leggo maybe venth and 262 enduring, will be torghast all week

If you want to NL you will go Glory.

Pretty much trying to have the buff up 100% of the Execute phase = big damage.

distant crystal

it's kinda similar to OWS in that it's defensive/offensive

#

but in a different way

robust rover
#

For Necrotic coming up, I've never been Kyrian during this affix until now. Would a setup with Kleia look like this? https://www.wowhead.com/soulbind-calc/kyrian/kleia/warrior/AwC-apYBBRy6ABElLTsAJAVMTQAVHJEAJSUCADV2AAA Or would there be a point to taking Bearer's Pursuit to slow mobs (does this work off aoe attacks?)

looks fine but honestly you dont need Kleia

u go mika

it helped u live laugh love prot warr

Learning prot warr from switching off my bear it was a STRUGGLE

distant crystal
#

at least you can survive the first couple seconds of a pull without cds

modern brook
#

that path is fine

#

using kleia is ??? but i respect it

#

but that path gives you the 2 juciest things in kleia's tree at the price of lol sof

#

I cant tell if spear of the archon is good though cause details either doesnt track it correctly or its under a different name i ant find in it

robust rover
#

Sounds good all. I'll start with Mika first as there is also the nerf to necrotic to help as well.

jagged pier
#

i mean it wasnt really an affix before anyway

modern brook
#

necrotic was never a concern

#

tbh

#

we have a shield :^)

#

and also aegis existed this patch

robust rover
# modern brook necrotic was never a concern

So I only did a little 10-15 lvl tanking as a warrior. As a BDK, necrotic was really rough when my "defensive" is to self heal... I basically had to kite asap and essentially died often on some packs.

modern brook
#

yeah BDK doesnt have a shield :^)

robust rover
#

Also I have an Aegis now, so how do I best use it? Initially on pull or when stacks of Necrotic are going up?

modern brook
#

you'd use it as you would any defensive

#

Aegis just gets value against necrotic because the absorb isnt affected by stacks

robust rover
#

Thanks! That works for me.

modern brook
#

similar to how Shield wall always blocks 40% of incoming damage regardless of stacks

when you have completed the mythic raids and +22's, it's time to create your own content by playing weird specs and talents minimizers

daring bay
#

Are warriors legit the worst tank atm? if so what makes them less desired than other ones?

#

Squishier? less dmg? i feel like utility wise they should be on par with the other ones

sick sentinel
#

the problem is that warrior is based on active prediction and execution of using the right cooldowns or not

#

and if we don't predict damage right and mis-use CDs, we take too much dmg

daring bay
#

I mean, we can have close to 100% uptide on SB in combat right?

#

and other than that its the basic "hard hitting" shit everyone has to use cds for

#

and if warrior is just "harder to play" which tbh i dont buy, the best people in the world still would play it. But they are playing all the other tanks

sick sentinel
#

for magic you have reflect for universal -20% mdmg, IP but thats only 50% absorb and wall, of course indom or other effects that heal help a bit

#

mm, there are people here who have no problem with playing the spec, i'm inbetween, but not a good player

daring bay
#

Maybe ye, but i just wanted to know why people would play a paladin lets say, rather than a warrior

#

esp wince monks and rouges are so popular now

lofty widget
#

it's just down to popularity with bear maybe pulling slightly ahead in higher keys

sick sentinel
#

i don't play pink bubble boy

lofty widget
#

tank balance is incredible atm

sick sentinel
#

yeah, if you are warrior tank and you or healer or group is complaining you are taking a lot of damage or people just randomly dying its likely unkowingly you somehow

#

because, you have the power to decide the size of the pull and where the mobs put some of their shit on the ground

#

or didnt do right cd, too early too late, many things can go wrong

ocean yoke
#

warriors mostly just got a pretty undeserved reputation from SL launch patch so theyre less popular

sick sentinel
#

thunderclap became so bad that ravager is now the default for any aoe content, need i say more?

#

that can't help anything

ocean yoke
#

thunder clap being a wet noodle stinks but i like ravager

#

Anyone knows what’s the actual range on the necro banner? The two closest allies tooltip isn’t helping at all…

lofty widget
#

my guess would be there is no range, why do you need to know anyway?

#

if your desired target is that far away the buff will probably go on someone else

sick sentinel
#

i want to say the way it works is as soon as its activated it chooses 2 players closest within 30 yards, and as long as you can keep the buff up on your self you keep buff on them? could be confused

#

it's up to 3 others with emeni

#

i think if nobody else is in range when you activate, nobody else gets it then, but i may be confused

thick slate
#

Hmm ok. It’s just I remember Emeni range was stupid small. But I’ll test it out. Got kyrian to 80 today. Necro is next )

sick sentinel
#

i had heard about a bonesmith execute build with carvers eye, but someone told someone else to do emeni

quiet crane
#

Paladin has incredible damage aswell as insane self healing, bear is immortal every three minutes and you spam thrash and iron fur it’s brain dead and also has a ton of utility

#

You don’t usually have to work as hard as those tanks for the same results but like it was stated earlier tanks are stupid close in balancing

#

@daring bay

daring bay
#

I feel like with a monk and rouge our buff should compensate for the dps diffrence

quiet crane
#

Not quite but it’s nice to have

daring bay
#

But ye, our healing departments not the best

quiet crane
#

That’s true but our dmg intake is very smooth and is very predictable

#

Therefore making it easy to heal

daring bay
#

Ye, bur if a prot warr does 4k lets say overall in a key

#

A pala would do what? 6k?

#

On 5 target patchwork for rouge over 1 min our buff gives 700 dps to a rouge

#

Idk feel like there shouldnt be a big diffrence

#

Guess i gear a pala and see the diffrence

urban portal
#

But consider that if you have more survival, healers can spend gcds doing damage

#

So that matters too

worthy karma
#

umm so I've been doing 18-19s but I did a 15 and was like capping on rage...like revenge spamming the night away and still capped. I still shouldn't dump it at cap into ip tho (when not serious magic dmg) right? Maybe spread out my ravager and spear? I kinda dump them ontop of eachother

urban portal
#

You dump into up

#

Ip

#

Wasted rage is no rage

#

But you could spread it out yeah

worthy karma
#

for sure thank you

mighty valley
#

Always dump, remember it's all spinning down avatar from AM

#

Rather that than like, missing out aligning your CDs with avatar

sick sentinel
#

1 more torgy and i can do my 262 enduring

forest meadow
#

Yeah IP to prevent rage cap, and it's like 45 second avatar and maybe 2 minute shield wall. Rage gen with reprisal feels so crazy. But alllllll over the battlefield.

# daring bay A pala would do what? 6k?

So many variables in keys, I can average 8k overall DPS as a prot warrior in SD. The guy who raid tanks with me for my guild is probably an equal skill level but as a prot paladin doesn't manage to crack 7k and everyone will tell you prot paladins are crazy dps...the balancing is very close so would just play what you enjoy

strong forum
#

Generally vdh pwar and pally do the same dps in m+

#

Monk a bit more

#

Bear and dk a little less

#

Altho a very good bear will do the same dmg as pwar/vdh/pally

Korayn is the night fae soulbind. Gives you +25% crit for 5 seconds when attacking a new target.

#

Plus his top thing gives extra damage to enemies over 90% health

uncut juniper

Didnt think about that. Thanks for the input. Now i got sth to do :D

But at 9k DPS like the above screenshot, that's most likely 5 shards at max rank in 252 raid gear.

#

Or close to it

252..lol
