Oh does it lose the block value when it isn't in defensive mode?

jagged pier
#

u should not ever be venthyr as prot

nimble laurel
jagged pier
#

well u can do that

#

and i was using it like that for like the first week

#

now its just been in defensve mode for like 2 weeks

#

๐Ÿ‘

hardy ridge
#

Has anyone experimented with Codex?

#

might farm streets if its lit

nimble laurel
#

Pretty sure it's lit for m+

hardy ridge
#

its like 2.5ppm right

#

might be good for raid too no?

#

I feel like you need double on use for higher keys in m+

better off with a OWS or another stat plus BSS/Aegis

#

I guess the best place to look at codex is its ok, just nothing special and will be replaced by other stuff

hardy ridge
#

looking for a good passive trinket to go along with the on use in raid

plush tendon
hardy ridge
#

only have a 220 ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

farmed heroic sylv so many weeks as well

plush tendon
#

well, later in the tier, I bet people will be running mythic sylv runs

#

considering with all the extra damage, should be very easy

#

since all strenth classes+rogues still need stuff off her

jagged pier

#

it's extremely underwhelming okayge

strong forum
#

itll be good in 30s!

#

I did actually get to play some prot yesterday; thought our tier set would be 'underwhelming'. Was happily surprised ๐Ÿ™‚ was super fun to play with

waxen orbit
#

Itโ€™s fun for sure

plush tendon
#

So much rage, so much fun

waxen orbit
#

Way more fun in raid than in M+ but thatโ€™s prolly just because you can afford to be more goofy in raid

plush tendon
#

raid tanking can be a snooze fest tbh

#

dungeon tanking is where its at

waxen orbit
#

It is

#

Unless you got healers who donโ€™t pull weight

plush tendon
#

Just play with guildies who you know who can play ๐Ÿ™‚

#

or just chill in 15-16 keys

waxen orbit
#

Side note

#

Tfw you would have timed a 20 ToP but when you hit Shield Wall for a Reaping Scythe (SR was on CD), it takes 5 seconds for the cast to go through despite playing on 70 home ping (???) and then it refunds your cast and you die from Scythe because of the game shitting itself

ya we also had some fuckery happening in top today

starfall pulled a pack

jagged pier
#

its the anduin lag that i dont like

deft hinge
#

in Gambit, people on disc trying to warn about fishsticks fast is just hillarious

chrome falcon
#

@waxen orbit We nearly timed a 20 streets but the Shuri circle spawned directly on top of the only portal we had access to and there was nothing we could do to survive yep

sweet summit
#

i just made a huge cast bar weak aura for fish sticks

#

makes sound too

#

and just press shockwave

austere forum
#

Looks like I might be raid tanking to replace our MT. Weโ€™re on normal Andi -atm. Are the guides in pins up to date?

sweet summit
mighty valley
#

biggest normal anduin tip is the downstairs teams actually need to do good

#

if you're like "wow the intermissions are really fucking us up" people aren't getting the bar filled

you can spell reflect the reaping scythe too

sweet summit
#

not every single one

safe thistle

yah one out of 2

#

other need defensive

#

normally i keep sw for when its the one during the suction

rapid bluff
#

Hey, I am trying to help my guild warrior tank and wanted to know what is the ideal uptime for shield block/ignore pain on a tank and spank boss. What other things are typical mistakes that we can check for and fix?

urban portal
#

You wanna look at %hits blocked

#

No reason to put up shield block if not tanking

dawn canyon
#

Also put in a log here okayge

urban portal
#

Except for a minor dps increase

#

I'm assuming this is raid?

rapid bluff
#

yep

urban portal
#

What's he dying to

#

Random melees, tank hit, or something else

#

Tanks should never die to random melees

chilly brook
#

We need logs or gameplay to be able to really tell you valuable information

craggy pilot
#

is LFR tier set better than 278? ๐Ÿค” thinking for my alts where im not gonna raid a lot

mighty valley
#

4pc worth a whole whole lotta ilvls

sweet summit
#

lfr tier > no tier

craggy pilot
#

ye ok

#

thinking of doing LFR on my alts until they get full tier

mighty valley
#

but also your slow alts will eventually be able to turn 278s into tier

craggy pilot
#

while also doing vaults

Oh right ๐Ÿ˜…

chilly brook
#

It doesnโ€™t last long enough to even be close to 100% uptime

safe thistle
#

IP is for paddinng healing

chilly brook
#

Nor does it do enough to even warrant pumping enough rage into it to try

#

Honestly

#

Just link us logs

rapid bluff
#

fair enuf, that helps ๐Ÿ™‚ will link logs too for more help

urban portal
#

Assign himself shield wall, shout, etc

#

Id imagine you can get away with a big tank hit with just shout and 2 ignore pains

safe thistle
#

not really on skolex

chilly brook
#

I mean

#

I think you could

#

Idk seems like you can

urban portal
#

If he can't he needs to call for externals

#

It's his job to call for it not healers job to figure out when he needs it

ancient reef
#

to unlock the unity belt do i need to do quest in zentis on each toon or one toon

sturdy sable
#

1 toon iirc

#

Or was that the memory?

#

I dunno slands killed alts for me so /shrug

dawn canyon
#

Rep 1 toon

#

Chapter each toon

ancient reef
#

so revered rep pattern works for all toons

#

but doing it by chapter is per toon

dawn canyon
#

Yes

ancient reef
#

which is faster for an alt

dawn canyon
#

Depends

#

If u can send ash

ancient reef
#

i came back like a week ago so im doing shit from nottin

dawn canyon
#

U wanna do campaign

ancient reef
#

yeah i mailed the shit to make a 6 already to the alt

dawn canyon
#

And go do the world quests

#

Until revered so u can put it in better slots

#

To my understanding

mighty valley
#

yeah you'll only use the belt until you've got 4pc from everything but your best legendary slot

ancient reef
#

fuck i hate rep grinds for shit i just wanna pvp on a few toons

mighty valley
#

for us we're gonna craft it on head ideally

#

if you just care about pvp doing the story chapters will get you double legendary quickest

dawn canyon
#

Well some specs like Arms go Lego on Belt

#

Im personally making a Ring unity for pvp

mighty valley
#

sure was just saying what prot is doing

#

in the prot channel

ancient reef
#

why is shit like this not account wide

#

what in the actual fuck in 2022

scenic mural
#

Im going to be revered next week doong only patterns and world quests 3 days out of the week. Not really a rep grind

sturdy sable
#

Im already revered and ive only been doing dailies the weekly and the odd rare

scenic mural
#

Yeah this is literally the least grindy patch weve had in a long time.

mighty valley
#

you don't understand. no one should have to play the game to get all the stuff

#

i should simply be able to be fully geared without doing anything, for no reason

scenic mural
oblique garnet
chilly brook
#

Like you still use it to not cap

oblique garnet
#

You will kinda have to spam it

chilly brook
#

And you use it to help smooth damage if intake is high

#

But it's not a "fix"

#

Like a lot of people think

oblique garnet
#

Because youre generating way too much rage to just dump into revenge

chilly brook
#

Yea

#

It's a dump

oblique garnet
#

Its honestly pretty great

chilly brook
#

But it's not a form of mitigation that magically fixes mistakes or damage intake

oblique garnet
#

hardly dropping below 90% in keys now

#

and i only have 255 shield

chilly brook
#

That's what I mean by "it's a meme"

#

Because people have some sort of idea that you're using it as a magic form of mitigation that fixes issues that usually are not using CDs or not blocking

sweet summit
#

unless you just

#

hard afk

#

also

#

do u have any logs

#

of nf keys

oblique garnet
#

Still havent setup logs for my new pc keksquad

sweet summit
oblique garnet
#

Ive been mostly playing kyrian in the recent dungeons ive done just because i cba swapping covenant everytime between raid and m+ and then coming to ZM to change conduits

oblique garnet
sweet summit
#

u can take my group

unkempt trout
#

what cov is best for keys

lofty widget
mighty valley
#

turns out 50% DR is actually pretty good if you have to mash it constantly to avoid overcap

sturdy sable
#

Who woulda thunk

mighty valley
#

it's true that new warriors overprioritize

#

and run themselves dry

#

but "it's a meme" makes it sound like you shouldn't press it/it doesn't do anything

unkempt trout
#

is there like an "ideal" m+ opener, i feel like i get trucked by any magic damage

#

should i just spam ignore pain

waxen orbit
#

No

unkempt trout
#

well keeping up sb

waxen orbit
#

Spell reflect if you're getting hit by magic damage

#

Kick bolts after SR is down

#

Spam revenge

#

Shield slam when low on rage

#

IP when you're getting hit really hard

unkempt trout
#

why revenge over ip if i'm getting trucked

waxen orbit
#

You can spam IP

#

But if you're getting trucked in the opener and you immediately dump all rage into IP

#

Sounds like you're either not having SB up, getting hit in the side/back, not using other CDs to mitigate, or your healer is AFK

#

What keys are you getting trucked in the beginning of a pull?

unkempt trout
#

it was mainly last week on fort

waxen orbit
#

And what level of key and what's your gear look like?

unkempt trout
#

but like dos

waxen orbit
#

First pull on DOS you should always use Shield Wall in that opener or when shit gets hairy

#

And spell reflect first Shadowcore

#

Kick second

unkempt trout
waxen orbit
#

And have DPS rotate kicks accordingly

unkempt trout
#

my shield and weapon are quite assd

#

but everything else is ok

waxen orbit
#

Yeah you have 4 set you shouldn't be having any issues

#

Uh why ascended vigor?

#

It's a separate thing but why that and not CG?

unkempt trout
#

i didn't last week, but mainly just because i saw it was better defensive

#

ly

waxen orbit
#

Overkill

#

Go CG or sin rev

#

What in particular was trucking you at first in the DOS? Scribe casts? Shadowcore?

#

Because the Scribe casts shouldn't hurt that much, and if you ever get hit by a shadowcore, that's a misplay on the team's part

unkempt trout
#

think it was just scribes

waxen orbit
#

brb doing gambit

#

But most keys a shield wall should handle that

lofty widget
#

scribes hurt if theyre just getting shotgunned with no cc

unkempt trout
#

are there m+ streams for prot warrs

mellow bridge
#

first pull is probably bonestrikes

#

no cast time instant huge magic dmg hit from the bonesoldiers

#

that's why you need a defensive there when you go in

#

and consider kiting after they are down if it's a hard pull for you

unkempt trout
#

so just pre shield wall pretty much

strong forum
#

it only has 1y range

#

so if you keep on slightly on the move

#

you can avoid them casting it

mellow bridge
#

hope frost mage is meta again for stuff like that yep

safe thistle
#

de other side is all about death speaker on those pulls

#

death embrace not kicked and you get a scribe that 1 shot you

#

its very painful with group that doesnt kick, i know it !! ๐Ÿ˜›

mellow bridge
#

deaths embrace shouldnt be an issue really

#

scribes dont even cast if youre not in melee range btw

#

it's all about shadowcores + bonestrikes

waxen orbit
#

^

primal cape
#

i always go in with a stun and 1st kick on shadowcore, then i get a juicy reflect

quaint glade
#

Can someone please help me out, do I just need streets to be done in 15+ or may I somehow avoid it?

#

For kms

chrome falcon
#

i mean you could avoid it by doing literally everything else on a 17 or something but you're not avoiding streets altogether

#

it's very heavily nerfed at this point though

quaint glade
#

I keep getting gambit, not the streets, so I cannot even get an inv ๐Ÿ˜…

scenic mural
#

Streets is pretty cake atm outside of the last boss being an rng nightmare

chrome falcon
#

last boss is rancid

#

flip a coin to see if you get an impossible shuri

#

or if your portals are going to keep moving DURING shuri

scenic mural
#

They pretty much erased one of hylbrandes mechanics, the shuris could definitely be toned down

Ohhhhh okay sorry I completely misread that

Yeah, you're totally right on that one man. Zo'azmi or whatever their name is definitely needs a tweak

God I haven't even done a taz key since the nightmare first week

sinful fern
#

When we are talking haste what is the best percentage to aim for?

mighty valley
#

More haste is pretty much always good until like... 40% is too much

#

there aren't any breakpoints, I'd say the spec starts to "feel" alright around 20%

#

oi nerds

#

is codex good for prot ?

#

like keys

waxen orbit
#

Not great

#

Itโ€™s decent

#

Aegis or Scale is still your best defensive option

scenic mural
#

I wish ticking sack was on the prot loot table.

waxen orbit
#

Yea itโ€™d be nice to have it pop up in the vault without going arms loot spec and risking not getting a good tank option if sack doesnโ€™t appear

scenic mural
#

I wonder how they decide because theres other trinkets that only provide offense that are on the prot table

If you wear Unity and a directly crafted Cov legendary, will you get double the effect?

no

sick sentinel

just simming myself for single target and signet coming up on top is that right?

signet might be highest dps might not be ither way its a terrible leggo for us

Burn it!

tawny karma
#

hi guys does anyone know if there is a wee list of the bis trinkets for prot?

blazing condor
#

Depends what you wanna do tbh. But generally its Scale/Aegis/OWS/Phial/Ticking sack/RDM/Codex

#

You can choose a lot depending one what you tryna do

ancient hedge
#

is the xymox tank trinket a viable replacement for scale? is there a big difference in damage/shield value when you compare the 1min cd of riftshard compared to 2min cd of scale?

lime urchin
#

I am still deeply in love with mah LFR Aegis

jagged pier
#

it is not viable

ancient hedge

it was

but they nerfed all tank trinkets

Iโ€™m considering tanking keys again

sweet summit
#

don't

#

forever imprisoned

chilly brook
late wasp
#

I'm looking at the wowhead SFO prot tanking guide and wonder if there's something better out there, or a way to get some more specific recommendations into that guide. For example, Vigilant Guardian's Split resolution shouldn't be avoided but reflected. Same for Skolex's Riftmaw should be reflected at a bare minimum to avoid getting absolutely chunked.

#

I'm nothing special, just someone mediocre trying to do better things in my raid but I feel like some of the documentation out there for prot warriors is incomplete

chilly brook
#

Well lucky you

#

Thereโ€™s a reflect sheet in the pins

late wasp
#

I know for reflects, that's where I've been getting a lot of that stuff, but aside from Reflect, there could be some other things that would make tanking some of these fights a little cleaner

chilly brook
#

Like?

sweet summit
#

tank notes is usually the go to for that

late wasp
#

Yes yes, I know both of my examples focus on reflect, but I see a lot of tanks separating for parts of Skolex but then stacking up for others, I think that has to do with the rend frontal cones but that detail isn't in a lot of the guides to stack for the two hit melee but not for the separation on the rend

sweet summit
#

the guides are for the spec

#

here are better in depth fight guides, with notes for all tanks

late wasp
#

Ahh the in depth notes weren't in place the last few times I checked here, but the general guides were, thanks @sweet summit

#

Can you pin the tanknotes along with the icy veins and wowhead guides?

late wasp
#

I was looking in the pins for the channels which also includes a series of guide

#

s

#

sorry

chilly brook
late wasp
#

Yup, see that now

#

was what I was going by

oblique garnet
#

@sweet summit This tier is nothing but pain

chilly brook
#

I also thought specifically stacking and then splitting on Skolex was just the basic guide stuff

#

For all tanks

oblique garnet
#

I have never done this degenerate splits so far into mythic week

chilly brook
#

Late are you raiding as prot or fury?

ionic fern
#

So..what you're saying is your involvement in WoW has increased?

chilly brook
#

Tier gear is definitely a win

#

The tuning of the raid though?

jagged pier
#

even changed my IP bind to something easy to press

TFW youโ€™re gonna be a fury one trick for a week because youโ€™re behind on rep.

hi mates, you already thought which slot 2. lego will be for you? I mean prices are starting to rise im thinking of buying now, but im really not sure. Have Chest hands and legs as tier.

and reprisal feet

#

belt short term helmet long term

winged gust
#

there was one of the 5 tier items with awful stats wasnt it?

oblique garnet
#

Helm has one of the better stats but legendary ilvl on headpiece is just most stats on anything

sweet summit
oblique garnet
#

We did

#

But jesus christ man having to do lfr on 2nd mythic week ???

maiden ravine
#

I wish instead of making us equip tier gear, they'd just make seasonal effects to specs that they say go away. I've been spoiled by other games not locking massive kit stuff behind loot rng

#

Time gate if you must but bleh. 20-30% of a spec shouldn't be tied to loot haha.

oblique garnet
#

I mean its time gated but also not time gated

#

You can force 4 sets with enough characters

#

Which makes it extremely cringe

sturdy sable
oblique garnet
#

its the basic principle of mmos

#

Where you build up your own character

#

Instead of just choosing a template

maiden ravine
#

I feel like things that change rotations or other priorities at the level of tier set bonuses need to be divorced from gear rng. Let gear just be stats.

#

Or be earned deterministically by everyone at the same rate

#

And the building your character thing goes out the window when everyone gets the same bonus and all that changes it how lucky you get it faster

summer breach
#

Claw of Molten Fury. Would someone help me understand why a Prot warrior would want that as there MH for tanking?

distant crystal
#

i think tier is kinda fine as it is. it's only rng at the very beginning but we'll all have it

summer breach
#

didn't see that. thanks

distant crystal
#

i think there's a better classic warrior discord actually

#

but someone in that chan prob knows the link

The other channel I found doesn't seem very active.

For the raid, what's the major disparity between prot warrior and paladin? Debating on pivoting

We have rally

basically the same, gotcha

We have rally

Full of reroll onprot pal on my healer when I Pug I dont take pally tank

sturdy sable
#

Yeah fotm tank classes are best avoided

If you see a staunch non meta spec they are often good players

oblique garnet
#

M+ prot warrior however is really fun and good

safe thistle
#

At least warrior with beacon I don't even need to focus heal them

oblique garnet
#

Its not a guardian druid but nothing really is

Skill > classes

But on tazabesh I tanked on my holy pally once as prot and it's ridiculous for street how you can pull so easily with the shield silence

Fury is just so much nicer and you dont have to worry about survival or if you are getting any heals

If I had played arms last night on Andy I would have died every single downstairs phase

Just get hella close to ticking during that phase

Every time

Enraged Regen is clutch

safe thistle
#

As a healer on Andy I don't heal dps during add to heal unless your close to die not supposed to take DMG during that phase and your topped before going down

#

Anyway taking swirly = DMG/healing reduction

#

You might have healer struggling

oblique garnet
safe thistle

They fade during that phase of they are topped they will come out with around 50ish percent life

I do it in a 10 man group so only 1 healer down

2/3/6

Itโ€™s not avoidable

Normal DMG won't bring you down much until the 4 adds are healed and we get on group. But anyway when I divine toll some goes on group, so I guess you just have healer struggling

I took less damage than monk needed less healing and damage output was bit lower than his but thats with fury conduits

So halls 15+ in particular really kicks my ass. Is there anything I can do if the kicks aren't on point with obliterators?

DoT on last boss kinda rips a hole through me too. I didn't start tanking in s2 until I was already overgeared, so kinda readjusting.

Ideally kicks are good but you can take storm bolt for an extra personal way to stop a wicked bolt

The final boss dot ramps up in damage so save a CD for the end of it, don't just pop something on cast

These are my current stats with almost just upgrading ilvl due M+/Raid with primary focus on "Haste" as secondary stats. But as you see "Mastery" is my highest and "Versa" is quite low. Shall I push even more into Haste or focus on Versa now? Going into 20ties again next week I think and then push this seasons as far as I can get. Last Season I started to push late and only got into 23/24es with full focus on Hase (enchants, Gems etc)

Donโ€™t stress, haste still good, play >>>>>> stats

Would be nice to have a little more vers if you push really really high but for where youโ€™re at you look fine

as long as you got your highest main stats equipped then it doesn't really matter that much

Did you try elden Ring?

sick sentinel
#

Nope more like, dork souls 2, (someone called that and it stuck for me) after o got it for free on Xbox ds1 and got killed by the black knight jninstalled years prior

I've never been good at dark souls and the only souls like game I ever beaten was lords of the fallen which was shorter

dawn canyon
#

Yea i didnt get far in ds ill defo try it again

#

Not too well versed with the Controller tbh

sick sentinel
#

You can also swap from str to dex to int on the fly so I made it up to some 2 man boss as essentially rogue dex before I had to switch to str, then that made ret of game easy as hell

#

So OTE not comparable to ds

#

Cuz you can literal amge one ddx next str 3rd and no negatives

dawn canyon

Elden Ring looks p cool and has shields i wish wow had

Not on the fly but out of combat on the bonfires,

Anyway that souls like game I beat wasn't too hard

#

Won't play Malden ring unless it's gifted to me, most likely

blissful pebble
#

Can anyone explain the logic of Unity recommended on head (once you have 5 tier pieces)?
Head piece is Haste Versa favouring Haste which is optimal for us not clear why would we replace it.
Why would we not craft on Chest (heavy mastery piece) or Legs (heavy crit piece) looking at the high budget pieces?

jagged pier

and more stats > than less better stats

Number go up

You know, I think I want to play Elden ring now

# jagged pier its maximum amount of stats

You mean its maximum when we have all items in Mythic Raid in our bags?
Seems it should have that caveat the recommendation seems like it will be wrong for most players permanently and wrong even for people in the top 5% for months yet. Rygelon isn't even dead yet.

Str

Secondaries

jagged pier
#

its about strength

and shoulders helm and chest have the exact same stat budget

#

because from the raid the helm is less ilvl than both chest and shoulders

blissful pebble
#

They dont

#

Shoulders are less - Helm Legs Chest are the high budget.

mellow bridge
#

he's asking about m+ tier only jakey

#

and in that case he'd be right to craft it on chest

#

sinc eall pieces are 278 then

#

for a slightly better stat distribution

jagged pier
#

its not

#

chest and helm are the same

#

it literally doesnt matter

#

like i said above

its the same

dawn canyon

Also Helm better tmog tbh

jagged pier
#

it doesnt matter

and u can farm when pieces u want form mythic + btw

becuase u can just make them later on

so u can target certain pieces and get the stats u want anyway

blissful pebble

When you convert an item to tier with the creation catalyst its secondaries are replaced with the tier secondaries. It will retain gem slots and tertiaries.

BTW if you kill 2 mythic bosses, you have a chance of getting 285 tier pieces

Regarding mythic + in 10 my opinion is remove normal and heroic mode dungeons, easy mode, hard mode and hard mode scaling, nothing about layouts or boss abilities change except interupts have longer cast bars on easy mode Anda full wipe on hard foes 80%+ to all on easy regardless of anything that isn't pally bubble

#

The newer players learning it then experience the dungeon exactly as they did on easy, except faster, because they don't feel compelled to take in scenary

this sounds like a forum topic not a prot topic

I'd post on forums if I could, but if repition is the name of the game nothing can change ge at all..

Is there a reason Seeing Red is based on stacks (8) of 30 rage spent instead of just a flat 240 rage? Makes it awkward to know how close you actually are to getting outburst from 6/7 stacks

chilly brook

I mean at 7 stacks

cinder nova
#

Pretty sure it's just net 240 rage. Do you have logs showing overspending?

chilly brook
#

Just IP

rugged mural
#

A 40 rage execute can send you from 6-8 stacks immediately if you're 20 rage into the 6th stack. I just don't understand the logic behind hiding it behind stacks

urban portal
#

I think he's saying why can't outrage just be every 240 vs 3x8

#

Numbers get too large I think?

rugged mural
#

240 is scary? I guess so to some of the playerbase

lofty widget
#

arent there weakauras that show rage+stacks tho?

cinder nova
#

Are you wondering why they use stacks as opposed to just saying every 240 rage?

mighty valley
#

yeah just game design psychology & satisfaction stuff, for most brains it's easier to process it in chunks

cinder nova
#

Because it's just 240 rage. Stacks are to show rough tracking.

rugged mural
#

Yeah. And it makes it MUCH harder to make a WA to track your progress because tooltip shows stacks instead of rage spent.

cinder nova
#

Just make a WA that tracks rage spent and then clears it on outburst 4head

rugged mural
#

Won't work with 4piece. Again, it's just an unnecessary abstraction to make it more difficult rather than less difficult to track and I'm wondering if I'm missing something.

rugged mural
#

It does for me. I'm bad at WA though

chilly brook
#

Because thereโ€™s kinda a WA already here in the pins

#

That tracks it

rugged mural
#

WA tracks stacks, not rage spent

chilly brook
#

Which is literally the same thing

rugged mural
#

It's not, read above

chilly brook
#

It is

#

If youโ€™re at 7 stacks youโ€™re at 210 rage or above

cinder nova

chilly brook
#

All you need is an IP

craggy pilot
#

if im going straight up for DPS in raid, is Necro the best? ๐Ÿค”

chilly brook
#

And if you go over the 240

#

It doesnโ€™t matter

#

Because it starts the next stack

cinder nova
#

There benchmarkable information you can extrapolate from with the stacks that can inform your rage spent going forward.

rugged mural
#

Will a 20 rage execute give you 8 stacks?

chilly brook
#

Just send it at 40 rage

cinder nova
#

Or at least 30

chilly brook
#

Youโ€™re not punished for not sending it at 20

#

Itโ€™s linear scaling

#

Or oh no

#

You had to do two

#

Not a big deal

rugged mural
#

But then will you get Outburst or not? How do you know based on the stacks of Seeing Red?

#

Are you seeing now that stacks and rage spent are not the same thing?

chilly brook
#

It is tho

#

And youโ€™re overcomplicating it

You can literally force outburst at 7 stacks every time

#

With one button

#

speaking of tier, has anyone else noticed that revenge procs counts towards stacks?

lofty widget
#

bug, probably?

mighty valley
#

Yeah it's weird, since they don't count towards AM

cinder nova
#

They don't.

#

It's only 7 > 8 that it counts.

lofty widget
#

oh really

mighty valley
#

and if I was implementing that, I would've absolutely copy-pasted the AM scripting

cinder nova
#

Yeah. No idea why.

#

6-8 can happen with a 40 rage execute though

Show me logs. I tested it extensively in ZM and procced 3 in a row and got no stacks.

rugged mural
#

If you want to prio Outburst with SS and not TC. It DOES matter

chilly brook
#

Press revenj

#

Get reset

cinder nova
#

Might have been slapping IP/ShB then because like I said I was proccing Revenge! over and over and it never gave a stack except 7 to 8.

lofty widget
cinder nova
#

It was entirely replicatable.

cinder nova
#

Yeah hop on and give it a whirl. I thought the same thing when I was progging Halondrus and noticed it was only working on 7 to 8 afterwards.

#

I think it was Erga that also got the same results.

#

You could @ him and see if anything has changed.

mighty valley
#

definitely buggy behavior but... fixing it would technically be a tiny nerf so........

cinder nova
#

But back to the original point - the 2p/4p tracks Seeing Red as just a superficial means of telling you what rage you've spent. Regardless of how you get there, 240 rage will give you Outburst. Spillover is kept into the next Seeing Red stack.

#

Otherwise hitting Revenge three times wouldn't give me 2 stacks, and it does. You're literally just having a piss take.

chilly brook
#

And if you are waiting for shield slam

#

Youโ€™re not going to die because you didnโ€™t press TC

#

So I should just sit there and wait to see if I have outburst or not and just wait the .5 seconds rather than press TC or SS?

cinder nova
#

Wait to- bro what? Dude you have a BUFF BAR that tells you if you have Outburst or not.

rugged mural
#

You'll either have downtime or you'll hit outburst buffed TCs with this setup because you can't see your required rage to go.

lofty widget
#

why do you have down time? you dont need to spend outburst the second you proc it, and you have other buttons to press besides tc and ss

cinder nova
#

If you can't look at 7 stacks of Seeing Red and compartmentalize that it's 210+ rage and that you need to spend a MINIMUM of 30 rage to proc to make that choice

#

I doubt you'll be parsing with trying to game big SS using Outburst.

#

Not to mention a Revenge! proc will always send you to 8.

rugged mural
lofty widget
#

if ss is off cd then you press it?

#

with or without outburst

this conversation has gone on far too long lol. dividing it into stacks makes it easier for most brains to come up with rules of thumb for playing, it's just a lot harder for the majority of players to process 240 on the fly. that does mean it's not showing you the finest detail, which might affect your granular decisions very very occasionally. if you really think this is going to affect you, you can work on a rage tracker WA, it just wouldn't key off the buffs they display to you. whether that's worth the work is really up to you

cinder nova
#

Basically. You're hung up on entirely trivial information that - were you not already pushing AOTC or Mythic content - will never be a critical factor in your success or failure as much as foundational play will be.

#

Go to the WA discord and beg them to make something like that for you if you can't hack it together yourself.

jagged pier
#

this conversations seems dumb u only need to care about anything at 7 seething stacks once there make sure u put TC on cooldown then spend your rage

#

then u can pretty much guarentee a outbursted SS

#

theres already a WA in the pins thats let u track the buffs

chrome falcon
#

hey one question though

#

how come sometimes i get 8 stacks

jagged pier
#

because u do

chrome falcon
#

i see i see

#

also @craggy pilot yes necro is best for ST dps

craggy pilot
#

wow just compared my 253 Pala with my 261 Warr, what a sad sight ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

DPS wise

chrome falcon
#

oh yeah bro nah

#

don't do that

#

that's not a good way to live

#

just ignore the pink and the orange class

mighty valley
#

paladins and druids all have shittier home lives

#

it balances out

cinder nova
#

Imagine having to simp for a shiny bauble so you can not die ex deee

#

Warriors just get angry because power comes from within

chrome falcon
#

druids don't even get to hit stuff with a giant plank of metal

#

sad for them tbh

mighty valley

cinder nova
#

Does banner trigger GCD or can I just mongo macro it to stuff like ava

sweet summit
#

gcd

cinder nova
#

Any optimal order to press it in?

#

Like LS > Ava > Demo > Banner

#

or

#

I should say I just clownshoes with LS and UF on the pull for maximum meter monkey \

sweet summit
#

banner first since it has infinite duration -> avatar -> demo -> LS (ls last or you just hard overcap)

cinder nova
#

Okay but what if I'm pressing IP between Demo/Ava while LS is up

sweet summit
#

sure
