#

do you guys do chore content as prot or swap to dps?

blazing condor
#

do it as prot

#

i honestly dont feel a difference

#

and its nice to be able to pull everything and just cleave down

#

but i assume you can do that as dps too

modern brook
#

Bro the things I'd do to want to play wow rn

#

What’s chore content

dawn canyon
#

Korthia weeklies etc

lime urchin
#

Don’t do that!

luckily i only have 4 days left of my game time with no real reason to renew peepoHappy

I can offer my rat geared fury for a SH weekly seanbee

sick sentinel
#

someday ill play these boosted rogue and locks

#

they just action figures collecting dust on a shelve RN, only open the box to play 1 time with each

#

part of my huge frustration with alot of wow classes is they have a ton of cool PVP talents that would be great in PVE or even solo content, but its locked to pvp only, some nice abilities and passives, have to filter the ones that break game ofcourse

dawn canyon
#

You could use them in DoS for a while

#

With dueling people

#

Was funny

sick sentinel
#

theatre banner boss you mean?

#

can't think of any dueling that takes place in dos unless there is some MC i overlooked

mellow bridge
#

nah there was a bug in dos

sick sentinel
#

yeah, so a bug, so i would have tottally 1000% ignored it unless i knew it could benefit me in some way ?

#

99.99% normal see a bug in a video game and there total thought process about it is "oh shit, thats not supposed to happen, wtf, oh well, hope it doesn't happen again" and then never think about it ever again

Ok, thought there was a breakpoint where it became pretty bad.

above 40 % you might wanna stop prioing haste cause of the tax

Same way it can aggro you if dps dies

They dont aggro tanks off the bat tho

Pala healer 🙂

need a nighteelf healer

to really test the tanks' meddle

if you bop do they still try to melee or just start hitting other ppl

sometimes dps doesn't know how to do anything but rotation

sick sentinel

waste of dps to even attack them unless they hold combat barrier

this is more or less what dh told me

strong forum
#

Well yes

#

Or if they're preventing another dps from doing dmg

sick sentinel
#

they only attack in melee range

strong forum
#

Yes, so they can force a melee player outside

#

Cuz they 1shot on higher difficulties

this was a 13 mists and it was easy as shit

what ilvl would i need to hit to be able to tank 15s ok?

sturdy sable
#

Idk like 210

#

220

jagged pier
#

whatever your comfortable with

waxen orbit
#

You can tank a 15 at 200 item level tbh

#

But what Jake said

strong forum
#

I didn't recommend 200ilvl for 15s in 9.0 even

#

If you're the lone 200, sure maybe

waxen orbit
#

I did it and it felt fine idk

#

🤷‍♂️

strong forum
#

But that's equal to just being carried

modern brook
#

252 prolly 🤔

strong forum
#

So you're slightly above the norm

waxen orbit
#

Fair

strong forum
#

An average player isnt gonna have alot of fun with 200ilvl in 15s

modern brook
#

15s are progression content for a group of 5 people all around 220 ilvl

#

Unless I'm misremembering the loot drop level

dawn canyon
#

236 is a drop for a timed 15

waxen orbit
#

220 sounds about right for the standard player this patch

modern brook
#

Yeah I am

strong forum
#

My rule of thumb was, whatever the key drops -10ilvl should be safe game

modern brook
#

226** overall but frankly those 6 ilvls shouldn't matter

strong forum
#

Yeah

dawn canyon
waxen orbit
#

Yea

modern brook
#

M+ raid pog

waxen orbit
#

235 is pretty comfy for the first 3 of mythic

dawn canyon
#

i mean assuming limit was 243 or something on average mythic is defo killable like that

#

but i wouldnt recommend it

waxen orbit
#

That’s limit

dawn canyon
#

exactly

waxen orbit
#

Kek

jagged pier
modern brook
#

Raid is also a very different beast

jagged pier
#

did most of it at less than 242

waxen orbit
#

235 - first 3 of mythic
240 - next 3
245 - guardian onward

#

That’s the comfort zone

modern brook
#

I uhhh hard disagree

#

Esp this teir

#

We have not once been blocked on prog by a damage check

waxen orbit
#

It’s not ab damage, it’s ab health

#

If you’re sub 240 on something like Painsmith as say, a hunter, you’re gonna give your healers unnecessary stress

#

You can do it, sure, but with gear being this easy to get there’s no point

modern brook
#

Iunno the stress from painsmith is people remembering to not walk into balls

sturdy sable
#

Well most raid damage is accounted for and cooldowns are planned accordingly

distant crystal
#

there's a lot of dmg checks in this raid lol

#

not like, hard checks you autowipe if you don't make it, just...checks that make the fight much harder to survive if you don't make them

modern brook
waxen orbit
#

Right but I’m talking about unnecessary stress for healers to handle. There’s no reason to be sub 240 moving past 6/10 mythic with how easy gear is to get this patch lmao

modern brook
#

The only tome damage checks were a. Issue is when mechanic checks were failed and we were down x bodies

modern brook
#

I'm just trying to say this tier I feel is pretty easy to sneak by on lower ilvl

sturdy sable
#

Plus if you are dying alot as a dps just run blood set

strong forum
#

It's the easiest tier in 2 xpacs next to nyalotha

sturdy sable
#

Itle heal alot of stupid

strong forum
#

If not the easiest tier since emerald nightmare

sturdy sable
#

Yeah this tier has alot of gift bosses

modern brook
#

I'm honestly torn on this raid

sturdy sable
#

I personally hate it

modern brook
#

Cause I really like a lot of the encounters

strong forum
#

You only have 2 bosses that should take more than 100 pulls

modern brook
#

But If I get told to hold damage one more fucking time I'm putting my fist through the screen

sturdy sable
#

Im so tired of fighting dude in spike armour surrounded by "souls" and darkness

#

Or what ever tired variation of something else they use

strong forum
#

I mean

#

That's cuz the tier is like 4months longer than it should be

sturdy sable
#

I get it its the theme im just saying this tier is long

#

Im starting to think 9.2 will never come

dawn canyon
#

this tier also desperately needed something like the mirrors in castle

sturdy sable

Or come in April

Don't forget the 2 weeks of nothing

#

Into 2 weeks of heroic only

frank thistle
#

as an rDPS main I found Heroic SoD a lot easier than CN. The only iffy spot on that is Sylv since my guild never downed it.

#

I also just liked CN a lot more.

dawn canyon
#

i only ever played CN and SOD so far

#

i played a lot better in SOD but had more fun in castle

frank thistle
#

Same on all accounts, mostly. I never tracked how well I did in CN but I was a boomkin then so I never did terribly. Was Destro/Demo throughout SoD which I found harder in terms of playing my class. I've been playing on and off since WoD but only started raiding in CN

dawn canyon
#

CN definitely was a good intro to raiding for me

blazing condor
#

esketit bois

dawn canyon
frank thistle
#

Agreed. I know people don't put it super highly on the list or anything but it was a lot of fun. Sludgefist, Xy'mox and Sire were easily my faves.

dawn canyon
#

i really liked inerva although i hardly didnt anything on her as melee

#

council also pretty cool

frank thistle
#

Council was alright. Turreting the first two and then the whole raid going into panic mode at the last one was kinda eh. I found Inerva boring.

I'm lazy and not a guardian player so I never bothered to get the fel one anyways, but plz blizz I beg you

#

the Kul Tiran one is rad

#

I wish Zandalari got more unique bear and cat forms

#

Like fuck yea, dinosaurs, but they're kinda boring

#

Am I wrong in thinking this week's affixes sound a lot easier than last's for prot warr? Inspir was kinda a pain in the ass in my lowbie keys.

strong forum
#

Yes, spiteful necro is generally easier than inspiring grievous

#

Also fort vs tyr

blazing condor
#

this whole season is tyran-favored

#

intentionally

#

almost every tyrann week is good

#

and the bad ones arent even that bad

frank thistle
#

Is that because people hated it last season? :p

strong forum
#

Probably intentionally yes

#

Cuz they changed the scoring system

#

And they didn't want only people pushing keys on fort

#

So they nerfed tyr and gave it on average better affixes

blazing condor
#

tyr has always been neglected for rio pushin

#

except for now when its needed

#

so what better way

strong forum
#

Well neglect is a strong word

blazing condor
#

im a strong man

strong forum
#

It was also just terrible

#

Too much hp scaling

#

And it's still insane

frank thistle
#

I still have nightmares about the first boss in Mists

#

Mists tyr in general really

blazing condor
#

just have incredible burst 😄

frank thistle
#

:^] no, I suck

blazing condor
#

so many disappointing boomies invited for that reason

#

just for them to burst 10k

west walrus
#

I hope one day they get rid of fort / tyr, and we have a ladder including all affixes, and we may choose

agile pumice
#

then theyd have to actually balance them

frank thistle
#

And then there's the ones that I imagine wouldnt be very popular if they were/are already balanced

teal swift
#

Unpopular opinion. Fuck fortified weeks. Tyran is way easier to time

blazing condor
#

tyran weeks are mega comfy

#

like doing HoA on fort is just sweaty

frank thistle
#

I enjoy Fort a lot more

blazing condor
#

but on tyr?

teal swift
#

I find Tyr so much easier and flexible on timing

frank thistle
#

99% of my experience in M+ is on rDPS and I dread Tyr because the packs die without doing anything

#

And also because long bosses are no fun

dawn canyon
#

Tyr is cool until you have pugs that apparently dont know how the bosses work

#

And tyra SD scares me but that's just on me

frank thistle
#

Hell yea, just got 233 pants from the WB after getting 226 raid pants from the vault

#

west walrus
#

Am I the only one hating necrotic weeks ?

blazing condor
#

its not particularly difficult but it's just ass

#

boring asf

west walrus
#

bad design

frank thistle
#

It's just weird. Reasonable-ish on paper (if annoying and boring) until it's either irrelevant to or hamstrings your spec.

#

Definitely wouldnt miss it

strong forum
#

they shouldnt make affixes that are more taxing on the tanks

#

regular m+ already does that plenty

blazing condor
#

True

#

Is there really any affix specifically there to fuck with dps except spiteful

#

That doesnt also apply to everyone else

frank thistle
#

Volcanic I guess

blazing condor
#

Yeah but everyone gets volcanic is what i mean not just dps right?

frank thistle
#

Right.

#

Does Spiteful not go after healers?

strong forum
#

it does go after healers

blazing condor
#

So not even that then peepostudy

frank thistle
#

Volcanic is also specifically rDPS iirc

strong forum
#

no volcanic is everybody

oh I'm just an idiot then

So youre not wrongå

#

What else

Eeeh also applies to everyone

frank thistle
#

oh yea guess that's a tank thing

strong forum
#

more to tanks than anyone else m8

#

Ye but i mean thats p much solely a tank affix

#

tanks also have sanguine aaaaaaand

#

blazing condor
#

Yeah sang is a tank affix for sure

#

Inspiring

#

You could argue

#

But that affects everyone

Bottom line wtf blizz cut me a break kthx

tanks arent allowed to have fun

#

the last time we had fun we got twittercancelled hard

blazing condor
#

Azerothian society really takes its toll

#

Too bad im hardwired to tank brain and i dont see any way i would ever reroll

frank thistle
#

As stressful as it is I enjoy tanking keys far more than DPSing them thus far

#

Getting into groups is also a thing I can do now :D

sick sentinel
#

whatever this shit is now is fun to me

#

long as shit actually dies and gets slowed who cares, necrotic i think, super easy

frank thistle
#

About to tank my first anything-past-10 (a 12), oh boy

#

Getting my ass kicked by trash

west walrus
#

Any time I test a dps spec, I find it boring and go back to tanking 😆

sick sentinel
#

if you are kyrian, one of the better specs always make sure to have 3 kpots and your fine

#

sounds like hes getting a whole bunch of stacks and then only noticing around 20-30 his necrotic if i had to guess

#

one nice think about doing tank is you aren't subject to (random lightning dps clothy deleter aoe) spells

frank thistle
#

Finally finished that 12 that turned into an 11, frost mage was doing 2k dps on mistweaver.

#

Didnt time it despite being pretty good on deaths for most of it, that last boss is a clusterfuck on tyrannical though.

#

wtb more deeps

vocal geode
#

those are some rookie dps numbers

frank thistle
#

Yea, it was... not quick.

sick sentinel
#

Ehh, hard to say why it could have gone wrong many reasons for it, could be possible you didn't pull enough or kited to long or something for everyone to be low dps like that

frank thistle
#

I was pulling pretty small the whole way through. Was getting mauled by a whole bunch of packs, probably due to shitty Shield Block usage. I should start logging keys

vocal geode
#

mists is usually double pack the entire dungeon

#

with a frost mage kiting the necrotic stacks should be a breeze

Not sure if good or bad.

Anyone else have a crisis deciding between Arms or Fury for when you have to DPS. Arms uses our based Kyrian set but I think I like fury more but don’t wanna level Venthyr.

sweet summit
#

fury also plays kyrian okayge

frank thistle
#

I can’t stand Arms. Fury all the way.

teal swift
#

Every warrior should be kyrian imho

dawn canyon
#

Arms NF imo but kyrian good for m+ as arms

waxen orbit
#

Kyrian for every spec M+ as warrior

#

Kyrian/NF depending on play style for most fights on arms, Kyrian for all fights as fury and prot with maybe necro on guardian if you want that big execute as prot

#

Dreamweaver NF arms and Mikanikos Kyr arms are pretty much on the same level if you learn how to play around either

frank thistle
#

I did a couple keys on NF and immediately went back to Kyrian lol

#

Would be nice to get that NF transmog eventually though

#

In hindsight Necrotic week wasnt the best time to try out NF

cinder dirge
#

Nf is still very sick as prot whenever you take into account the amount of clowns that doesnt use their interrupt.
Kyrian wont save you from that

#

As soon as you play with people who use their interrupt button kyrian becomes better. But thats way too rare from my experience and people start using a lot at smth around 2.6.
Below that this is a fkn zoo.

who cares what we think

play what you like

jagged pier
#

u can go get the venthyr look and just change back

#

and still use the tmog

sick sentinel
#

its like, minus the ABK lawsuits going on, i think that that game at a core level functions well, but its just not ironed out or thought out and polished time given to add the finishing touches

#

there just isn't enough thought put into the entire big picture

#

so like the action of going into torghast and beating that getting crazy powers is tons of fun, but the second there is way that everything you did id that run you had fun on is negated, that's where i think alot of people start to resent things

blazing condor
#

good thing torghast isnt like that anymore

#

at least not for completion

sick sentinel
#

i never mean that i think the game should be easier, i just mean that i think it should be less BULLSHIT, all games matter of fact, if you got a guy that has a 2 second stun on 6 second cooldown say, pulling 1 of those is fine, if you get 2 or 3 or more of them, they stun your entire group and you just cannot compete then, its total GG wipe

this is also probably a niche opinion, but i'd love to see certain old world dungeons segments adapted for m+ for more than a week

its a really dumb idea but in 8.2-8.3 i had any physical spell bar be red and magic be blue, and then it did female countdown for magic damage ones and male for physical ones i set, had it play crunch for blockable and banana peel for reflect

Hello

#

Can we talk about ignore pain for a second pls

#

How often are you boys popping ignore pain?

#

I’ve been considering it equal to shield block and trying to get as much uptime as possible

#

But I just can’t seem to justify the 40 rage compared to other spenders

#

esp since the shield seems so weak, 9k absorb is gone in less than a second on an m15 double pack

#

So unless I’m using ravager and last stand to just DUMP points into it, it never seems worth it

#

Are you guys trying to maintain high uptime or is it a bit of an “oh shit” button

jagged pier
#

it is nither an oh shit button or somthing u keep up

#

its does hardly anything

#

shield block on blockable attacks is by far better

Ignore pain specifically I can’t work out

#

logs for your uptime please

modern brook
#

But if you're only dumping into ip to prevent rage overcap. You're using it more correctly than trying to maintain it

#

i'm not sharing the last log i uploaded

blazing condor
#

coward

jagged pier
#

u literally just use it for magic damage and to not cap rage

#

theres no

#

meta gaming IP

sick sentinel
#

it was abysmal but we timed it?

uncut notch
#

So would you combine it with spell reflect?

sick sentinel
#

3.8k dps 35% blocks overalll

blazing condor
#

well thats what the log is for? you read it to see why it was abysmal and what you can do to improve??

sick sentinel
#

blarrrgggghh

#

over 1k rage wasted

uncut notch
#

Let’s say foooor, SD, the bomb effect on boss 3

sick sentinel
#

thats why i'm not sharin it lol

blazing condor
#

spell reflect on that boss in particular does the job

jagged pier
#

SR deflects the spell

#

what are u on about?

blazing condor
#

it deflects the dot

#

not the damage

modern brook
blazing condor
#

you still take the initial hit of it

uncut notch
#

But the explosion effect is still 20% DR right?

blazing condor
#

yeah

uncut notch
#

With reflect

blazing condor
#

i only take like 1-2 orbs depending on key level

#

pop SR

#

and take like 30% damage MAX

sick sentinel
#

you can hit IP twice to get a second "stack" of IP

lofty widget
#

shouldnt need any orbs tbh

jagged pier
#

the explosion alone will never kill u with SR and 1 orb upto like 20s at least

lofty widget
#

full IP+SR is enough

sick sentinel
#

but, its still a 50% absorb

#

so it says 20k, but it really means 10k for 80 rage >.> + does no damage

jagged pier
#

no yogi

#

if its 10k it stops 20k damage

sick sentinel
#

come again? i got a maths formula wrong didnt i

uncut notch
#

So to answer the original question, it’s solely a rage dump and a bit of a filler for magic damage

#

Usually when SR is on CD as using both is a bit too much

#

And wastes efficiency

blazing condor
#

its your magic damage mititagtion because block does nothing for magic

#

and defensive rage dump

uncut notch
# jagged pier no yogi

Also ref the logs thing, I can’t find anything so just assume I pulled that figure out of my ass, I don’t run logs so I’m having to flick through other peoples uploads

jagged pier
#

whats your char name?

uncut notch
#

I’ve found a mythic tarra log that had 70% but that’s highest I’ve found

jagged pier
#

thats shit for raid, and raid logs dont equal mythic + logs

uncut notch
#

🙄

modern brook
#

70% uptime or 70% blocked hits

uncut notch
#

Anyway, thanks for the advice on IP, will see you in 3 months

modern brook
#

Different things

uncut notch
#

When I have another question haha

modern brook
#

Both still low tbh

blazing condor
#

does anyone got numbers on dps increase/decrease by keeping SB up in ST scenarios? in terms of rage/gcd-to-damage-gain comparisons

modern brook
#

@ionic fern would know

blazing condor
#

aka is it worth keeping SB up outside of tanking for SS damage

modern brook
#

That's his job

#

Big discords like this suck you in

#

And before you know it you’re telling some scrub his ignore pain has too high an uptime on Christmas Day while your child begs for your attention

#

Or like, I imagine anyway

sick sentinel
#

eh that sound a bit exagerated and desperate but sure

blazing condor
#

now get those logs up

sick sentinel
#

i couldn't even put it into words for you guys if i wanted to, its something that you yourself only can know

uncut notch
sick sentinel
#

you say 95% uptime and you live and die by SB

#

skyhold yellows are watching

blazing condor
#

or you play HR + rep

sick sentinel
#

trust me, the yellows of SH will pay attention if u show log

jagged pier
#

ive seen ppl with HR and rep with less blocked hits than me play for dps

Your name is familiar

Warmachine is a meme talent only to be played when you can pick it for free in torghast

#

Anywhere else its just bad

sick sentinel
#

what about say if you have LS and playing necrolord?

strong forum
#

Still bad

#

Devastator grants alot more rage than warmachine does

#

For warmachine to beat devastator you need to constantly kill a target iirc every 7 seconds

#

Permanently

twilit jay
#

gross

sick sentinel
#

the more rage is always no?

strong forum
#

Devastator also scales with increased rage gen from LS or Necrolord

#

Just the way warmachine does

#

Cuz the increased amount of shield slams gained, which is a whopping 15 rage, or in warmachine terms, 15 extra melee attacks

#

Cuz the rage gain from warmachine on your melee attack is only 1 more rage

#

And the extra rage you get from when stuff dies, just makes it so you have full rage when you engage in the next pull, because the pull usually ends when stuff is dying :)

#

It's just a dead talent

#

Just like punish is a dead talent

#

Punish is just slightly less shit than war machine

teal swift

Yup

Right but if you don't have the rage to revenge, Shield Slam is on CD and isn't proccing from Dev, and you have to fill your rotation

Then you can't hit anything

You're just sitting there
