but it got reworked to be 300% crit dmg, but not guaranteed to crit in SL beta and uncapped

#

then because of fury it got a SEVERE dmg dropoff already starting with a 2nd target

#

and its been a dead talent ever since

latent pier
#

Tune it spec by spec

#

Like competent game designers

dawn canyon
#

Thatd confuse people probably

strong forum
#

actually dragon roar is "only" 100 dps loss

dawn canyon
#

Or just make prot have X roar that's a tuned droar

strong forum
#

BSC is 300 dps loss in ST

strong forum
dawn canyon
#

If droar did x10 threat or something

#

Thatd be cool

latent pier
#

The rest just google talents without thinking

dawn canyon
#

True

chrome falcon
#

it's very weird that they changed DR from 100% crit, 0 RNG

#

to 300% crit damage, and make it the most giga RNG ability

#

does LS drop if you pop it before the pull on a raid boss

strong forum
#

ye i think so

chrome falcon
#

hate that shit

#

whenever i fuck up banner like that i just want to jump off the edge

strong forum
#

->charge->avatar->banner->LS->demo

chrome falcon
#

yuh

#

generate like 400 rage in the first 10 seconds

#

ripping 4 tier procs during the first avatar

latent pier
#

Yall using banner as prot?

#

I felt like playing around with it next week.

strong forum
#

technically its vastly superior starting next wek, im raid

#

but its defo playable before that

latent pier
#

Yeah? Interesting

#

Necrolord is my favorite and it's been kind of a joke for my two mains all expac. :(

chrome falcon
#

Necrolord wasn't even a joke last patch

Heya! Question for double legndary: If you are revered with enlightened, the item we get, it applies the covenant legndary correct? Is it any item or does it have to be a runecarver gear

latent pier
#

I was more of a dps warrior last patch.

#

Appreciate prot more this go.

chrome falcon
#

If you are revered with enlightened you get to buy the legendary memory

latent pier
#

How's necro prot play? Any streams of it in action?

chrome falcon
#

It works the exact same as every other legendary memory

#

You just press the banner button and get a shitload of strength and mastery and rage gen, there's not much to it

latent pier
#

It does seem like it would be insane with 4pc

chrome falcon
#

then you execute the boss for 40k yep

latent pier
#

Why did you say that you son if a bitch

#

Brb covenant swapping

strong forum
#

NL + 4p is dumb high interaction

#

once my simc profile gets pulled you will be able to sim properly matta

#

but its only for NL optimised so far

latent pier
#

Necrolord just feels so perfect for warrior thematically

If you're a nerd like me and care about that kinda stuff

The ads freak out my phone's security lol

chrome falcon
#

and being CC immune with fleshcraft is relevant more than 0% of the time

latent pier
#

Last stand + rally fleshcraft seems

#

Dumb

chrome falcon

not really something you ever do except immediately before a dungeon

#

nerf prot warrior

latent pier
#

I figure situational I'd be able to make use of it if things die as it's ticking off

#

You can't block when channeling fc right?

chrome falcon
#

you can

latent pier
#

Oh? Is using it to fill a shield block gap stupid?

chrome falcon
#

no that's what i normally end up using it for

latent pier
#

Oh damn

#

I was thinking it and that settles it

#

Going necro tonight

deft hinge
#

why aint emeni good? moving while fleshing seems like a goodiegood

cinder nova
#

Fleshing is a DPS loss

chrome falcon
#

emeni just doesn't do anything really

#

she forces you to fully channel fleshcraft for full value

#

and time fleshcrafting is time not generating rage

deft hinge
latent pier
#

How long does the team buff last? My rogue was necro but it's only like 5s for them since you can spam bone spike.

strong forum
#

15sec

chrome falcon
#

20

cinder nova
#

We are? You aren't going to be using FC unless there's actual downtime in a boss and you have it off CD or you're literally getting 1-shot and need the survival.

latent pier
#

Not strong enough to do anything dumb with banner and all that?

cinder nova
#

If you aren't dying and you aren't getting absolutely macked you need to be putting every ounce of rage into damage.

chrome falcon
#

it's 9% strength for 20 seconds which is fine but

#

6% more damage for 40 seconds with kevin

cinder nova
#

Anything less is basically deliberately playing poorly because you cba'd.

chrome falcon
#

is juicy

latent pier
#

Wouldn't the former scale with the conduit better

#

Oh no I said the word

chrome falcon
#

no

latent pier
#

No interaction? Lame.

chrome falcon
#

i mean they interact in the sense that having strength is nice but

#

you do more damage with kevin

latent pier
#

But they don't buff eachother in a meaningful way, yeah?

#

I was thinking about that, sadge.

chrome falcon
#

21% strength does not buff 9% strength no how would that work

latent pier
#

Well you see

#

runs away

cinder nova
#

It's not multiplicative. It's additive, Sai.

latent pier
#

I derped :c

#

So how are you using banner? Lining up with party cooldowns more or less?

strong forum
#

on CD

#

only for yourself

#

fuck others

lofty widget
#

they can run to you if they want the buff

latent pier
#

Excellent

cinder nova
#

You can make a WA that /yells when you have like 5s left on CD for banner

Mainstat -> Versa -> Haste -> Mastery -> Crit still right?

Does it make sense to buy a Haste Versa necklace?

strong forum
#

what

#

vers was never that high

cinder nova
#

Your stat prio depends on if you're going "well-rounded" or "pumper chad"

strong forum
#

its ilvl > haste >>>>> vers >=crit>=mastery

latent pier
#

What was the main milestone for haste again?

cinder nova
#

You aren't reaching it.

latent pier
#

Like 33%?

strong forum
#

as much as you can

lofty widget
#

40 %

jagged pier
#

40%

latent pier
#

Even better

jagged pier
#

without dropping strength

latent pier
#

So I should never be worried about my gear having too much haste

strong forum
#

in my sim profile haste is sitting at 37%

cinder nova
#

Am I absolutely batshit or is STR > Vers/Crit > Haste >>>> Mastery the highest DPS stats for us

latent pier
#

Good, more fun that way

strong forum
#

the public profile isnt accurate

latent pier
#

Am I crazy or is int the best stat for us because being smart makes you stand in less fire

strong forum
#

even among all sockets and enchants it still goes for haste

latent pier
#

Kinda crazy.

cinder nova
#

Isn't sub 50 basically "margin of error"?

latent pier
#

Haste is way more fun than versa so I'll take it

#

Lol

lofty widget
#

think margin of error for sims is like 4 dps

chrome falcon
#

In raid banner is literally just a personal cooldown/buff

lofty widget
#

hence the blue line for the top 4 sims

strong forum
#

well you can clearly see that the full crit enchants are 25 difference

#

and full haste is 4

chrome falcon
#

If you're necro in m+ you can powergame it with your group's CDs but eh

strong forum
#

oh actually theres crit up there too

#

but again its just enchants

cinder nova
#

Me realizing I've been statting Vers/Crit this entire xpack

latent pier
#

Do you notice the extra block from banners mastery much, or is it mostly just Unga bunga smashing whatever is in front of you

cinder nova
#

is okay

#

I stull pump

strong forum
#

you wont notice 400 mastery

#

lol

latent pier
#

Rip

#

That seems like a bad mastery then

#

._.

cinder nova
#

Wait... 🤔 am I an absolute noid, then? I have 37% crit 10% haste and 20.77% vers

mighty valley
#

for the entire expansion we've been saying ilvl > haste > *

safe thistle
#

damn son that low of haste must be boring for rotation

cinder nova
#

Their strata showed Vers/crit being the highest DPS stats for prot

safe thistle
#

bloodmallet is only relevent for dps i think

cinder nova
#

Good thing I'm parsing DAMAGE

#

Unless a tank spec just can't function without a requisite amount of a stat your survival is almost all how you play and none of how your stats are weighted.

cinder nova
safe thistle
#

yah but it must feel slow when you have little haste

cinder nova
#

idk not really

#

I'm still parsing 95+ on every fight so

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

safe thistle
#

well sure cause ilvl is still priority on gear anyway

#

and skill > stat

#

i have 3% dodge i get that from what i though we were only parry

cinder nova
#

Passive.

#

3% is the flat value.

safe thistle
#

yah but i cant find where its written

cinder nova
#

Pretty sure that's just baseline for everyone.

#

Plus I get to 25% with full ITF which is most of the time anyway

safe thistle
#

ah yah itf

#

im over 50% with that

#

43%*

Anyone tried the hallondrus trinket in keys

no interesting trinket in the raid this time compared to sanctum

Oh btw @chrome falcon, I had another 20 streets we were on track to time until the last boss threw a Shuri where we were all standing with absolutely no escape possibility

i think you just have to go somewhere with 2 portals every time

waxen orbit
#

Oh yeah for sure; I’m gonna be doing that from now on but god fucking damn

safe thistle
#

can you leap over it ?

waxen orbit
#

There was another pull after that overtime where all the portals were coinciding with each other

#

So, circle right next to circle, etc.

waxen orbit
cinder nova
#

Do M0 still give guarnteed renown?

#

Thank god I can just speedrun SD

safe thistle
#

its faster than plaguefall ?

cinder nova
#

Probably not but I hate the fuck out of PF

safe thistle
#

ahhh 😛

#

was wondering maybe i dont know something about SD 😛

waxen orbit
#

It’s a hold W dungeon for the most part

blazing condor
#

wouldnt NW be faster

#

or mots

cinder nova
#

Maze slows shit down

blazing condor
#

nw is just giga W but maybe SD is fast

cinder nova
#

I can clear SD in about 10 minutes maybe 8 with a goofy group

#

Probably way less with a geared group

safe thistle
#

halls is more straight forward

#

i love halls

blazing condor
#

halls aint straight forward at all lmao

#

one big arena

#

but i mean i get what you mean

safe thistle
#

yah but its so quick

blazing condor

SD is probably the most linear dungeon

Yeah I literally just hold W to boss

Hey for those who use reprisal are we putting it on legs or feet?

mighty valley

Feet

Feet

feet now

Out of the way of tier set

Unity head

#

Reprisal feet

k ty guys

safe thistle
#

i bought a ring for unity

cinder nova
#

waste

safe thistle
#

but i might put it somewhere else

cinder nova
#

Enormous waste

#

Helm.

safe thistle
#

helm give me 2p

cinder nova
#

Get a different 2p

safe thistle
#

i dont have another 😛

cinder nova
#

Helm is the same budget at chest which is the highest and it guarantees a socket

mighty valley
#

I mean don't worry about it now, obviously you currently put on whatever gives you set bonuses and can afford

#

Helm is just gonna be best once we have everything

cinder nova
#

Mmmno

#

It's the best on Tuesday

#

Like yeah 2p is important

#

But helm is BIS

mighty valley
#

bruh

deft hinge
#

some1 said belt then helm. dont know the reason tho, can we go straight for helm?

mighty valley
#

you absolutely don't unequip 2pc to get a slight stat bump

cinder nova
#

I mean, I wouldn't unequip it

safe thistle
#

i went to get lfr pants to get 2p haha

cinder nova
#

Use the dumb belt they give you at the end of the quest until then

#

But you should be making Unity in helm

#

Full stop

mighty valley
#

yes... but don't have to... until you're actually going to wear it

cinder nova
#

But if you're buying resources... why buy it on ring? 🤔 It doesn't even give primary.

safe thistle
#

gold aint an issue too

mighty valley
#

ring is a weird one yeah

cinder nova
#

Even if gold wasn't an issue the belt is still better than the ring.

mighty valley
#

some classes care a lot about the huge secondaries but not us

safe thistle
#

i though ring so its not on any potential tier piece to get 4p quick

mighty valley
#

i'm just using belt til i can use helm, but some people are gonna spend a lot of money shifting it around as they get different tier configs

safe thistle
#

and i have a bis belt already :/

cinder nova
#

I'm immediately building helm and then forgetting about helm modules

safe thistle
#

im not lucky with tier drop anway the one i haave ppl gave to me

mighty valley
#

my 2pc is helm + hands so gonna be a while before I can use helm

safe thistle
#

me its helm and pants

cinder nova
#

Legs hands

safe thistle
#

i guess helm would work if i get pants /glove

cinder nova
#

Pretty sure you don't make the belt either, they give it to you as a reward don't they

#

and then if you're revered you can craft it anew

safe thistle
#

but as 165

#

265*

cinder nova
#

HAH wow that's a slap in the face

mighty valley
#

if it was max ilvl people would complain that the classes who want it on belt anyway were advantaged

cinder nova
#

crab mentality go brrr

safe thistle
#

ill just get helmet then and use teh 265 until i can equip it

mighty valley
#

this is fine, get the fun of 2 legendaries immediately + everyone crafts a bis one eventually

cinder nova
#

291 helms were literally only 80K on my server

I was kinda shocked

its 69k on mine right now

Whew lad

mighty valley
#

I should check, price will go up tomorrow

safe thistle

i sold the ring 89k bough it 85k

you made me 4k gold

cinder nova

A bit less than that

ahh true theres a fee

With reprisal and best served cold It should be expected that revenge is your most damaging ability overall by a fair margin in a m+ dungeon even with tier set right?

(not weapon/shield/trinket obviously tho)

latent pier
#

Any downside to doing the reverse, really?

#

reprisal legs, covenant feet

strong forum
#

theres no downside besides legs overlapping with tier

#

so hold off on crafting it on any tierslots and just keep it on belt

until you have 5 tier pieces

to pick the optimal spread for legendaries

Objectively the best option

I'm showing as taking less damage from the boss than my dk counterpart, but healers are saying I'm unhealable.

Not sure what to do

jagged pier

how are u taunting?

fading quiver

during our last pulls we were taunting after 1 each time

jagged pier
#

thats how u should do it

i mean u dont press spell refelct once

#

and most of the damage your taking is magic

strong forum
#

You do have less ehrps than the dk, they just don't know how to heal you

#

On the dk they just don't notice how much they're healing him

#

But your HP won't go up without them doing smth, would be my guess

Yeah spell reflect was a thing i noticed and am going to focus on tonight

#

guild was practically telling me to swap to dps last night 😦

strong forum
#

Tell them to stfu

jagged pier
#

i mean yer they need to heal u some more

#

and u need pretty much taunt on 1 stack all the time

its a heavy tank damage fight

pretty much like everything else it seems

It caught us by surprise a bit, we looked at bdk tanking logs for it, and some teams are having bdks tank the boss nearly 80% of the time.

jagged pier
#

i mean i have a BDK and we dont do that

#

🤷

fading quiver
#

Then we went in and we couldnt do it

jagged pier
#

well because you BDK is bad from what nome has said

strong forum
#

The bdk is almost at 10k ehrps

#

Which is in line with all tanks I've checked

#

All tanks need 9-12k ehrps

#

Except pwar only needs 8k ehrps

#

Which is represented in this log

#

So your healers just need to get the head out of their asses

jagged pier
#

i mean no nome they both died at 3:10

#

if u shorten to that time

strong forum
#

ic

jagged pier
#

it goes up

#

Well then you're both doing major mistakes

jagged pier
#

that is still reasonable damage intake tho

strong forum
#

Idk I checked a few rygelon logs cuz itamae was curious how pwar handles it

#

Cuz in theory pwar should be the best on this boss

#

Cuz block OP

jagged pier
#

well its not just block

#

its magic damage as well

strong forum
#

Since the dot from the tank buster stems from how much dmg you took from it

jagged pier
#

yer from both a melee strike and a magical strike

strong forum
#

Yea so you double up for it each time

#

And you should take very little dmg compared to dk

jagged pier
#

bdk can just straight up ignore the magic

#

and a brew with CB can just sit at like 4 stacks

#

i mean we do

strong forum
#

Eh, just slap on SB + SR + IP + Demo and you should be Gucci or?

#

SW every other one

#

Or every single 1 idk how frequent they are

jagged pier
#

u cant SW every other one

#

its like every 8 seconds

fading quiver
#

if you're taunting every 1 you take a hit every 8

strong forum
#

8sec?nani

#

That's scuffed

fading quiver
#

its pretty quick

jagged pier
#

yer its like as soon as the other tank gets the debuff u taunt

#

its not 8 seconds

#

like 10-12

#

something like that

#

Mh.. Then yeah I can see pwar being less optimal than I thought

Cuz it's the high frequency stuff that we struggle with

There's 1 log with a bdk doing like 10k dps on rygelon, he only needed 6k ehrps
His druid with 4p only needed 4k ehrps

From 2p to 4p+2l in the same reset

From 6k dps to 10k

True

Even tho on some fights cant be necro

Desauages just easier to be NF and blink the rings

But the dmg

Imma try necro was just Nf today vause no double leggo anyway

I mean technically you can play necro on everything

But nf leggo not bad anyways

will you live? thats a different question

Well yes but boss will just be running around

ok prepare for dumb question but i'm new to prot and trying to learn the spec and the basic rotation, looking at guides and its saying devestate is our main filler ability (since everything else either costs rage or has a CD?) but when I take the devastator talent its not an active ability right its just a passive? what should my filler ability be instead?

mighty valley
#

We don't have a no-cost no-CD filler so long as Devastate is good, but once you get basic gear and start playing well, you won't really have empty GCDs anyway

#

If you're still levelling it's ok to not take devastator, just to have something to do

#

The spec starts slow

unkempt trout
#

in m+ is it bad to insta dump both SB charges on pulls for packs to dump rage since you'll have so much

#

feels like SB will be rolled forever anyway with reprisal

Just read the discussion about Rygelon a little further up and PWar tanking it

@fading quiver I have a log from last night if you'd like to take a look at my cd usage

yeah it's quite difficult

chrome falcon

i died and my bdk solo tanked for a full minute while he waited for me to get picked up

civic torrent

very fun though

chrome falcon
#

for sure yeah

#

really good fight

#

much less stressful to tank than lod

civic torrent
#

bro the magic dot on LoD

#

#

Also @strong forum the tank mechanic isnt parryable, so double mit trinkets quite poggies on the boss

chrome falcon
#

Aegis is a beast on that fight though

#

As usual

civic torrent
chrome falcon
#

Pretty much immunes a set

civic torrent
#

yeah it's really nice

#

works for both dots after wards too

chrome falcon
#

It's not hard to have 2 IPs up for each tank hit

mellow bridge
#

BDK isn't even particularly good for that fight either

#

Basically every log I've seen, bdk needs more healing than their cotank

#

Altho I haven't looked at any pwarr logs

#

The fight slaps hard regardless of your class

#

And while pwarr does not mitigate the dot very well, they should mitigate the initial hit very well which decreases the dot dmg significantly

Seems like we’re due for a fort/necrotic week and im not happy bout it

not seeing a parry, or a miss, or a dodge. The damage disappeared and he put a debuff on me

event is between 1:35 and 1:40

(try not to look into our tanking strat too hard)

distant crystal

seems like just a weirdness with that ability

#

the DK also had 2 casts 1 hit

#

and looking at a random log i see similar deal

fading quiver

hmmm, maybe it just stuck out to me a bunch because I was expecting a ton of damage because I already had the debuff

and it just fizzled

your opener rotation should be

strong forum
#

ravager -> charge+ avatar ->SB + TC/SS (to use outburst proc, TC for early threat, SS for more rage which means more revenges ) -> AA

#

that sequence alone is like 200 rage

grim loom
#

oh u ravager pre pull

strong forum
#

yes

#

ravager takes 1 global to deal any dmg

#

so you can use it pre-charge

#

and time the threat gains better

grim loom
#

makes sense

strong forum
#

itll engage combat as soon as ravager lands

#

but it wont deal dmg until 1 global later

#

so its pretty bad to use ravager after charging

#

cuz you spend an entire global doing nothing

#

use IP to prevent rage overcapping

grim loom
#

ok ya that should help me

strong forum
#

spam revenge!!

#

keep in mind revenge can reset SS CD which means it also works towards generating rage

#

general prio is
SS > TC > revenge

#

try to NEVER use outburst procs for TC except on the literal first global on a pack if you get it from avatar

grim loom
#

even on aoe?

strong forum
#

yes

#

the extra rage you get from SS is worth more

grim loom
#

fair

strong forum
#

because you get 2 revenge casts out of an outburst SS

#

if you outburst TC, you get no extra casts

grim loom
#

whens a good time to demo?

on CD

especially if youre playing BV

just slap it away on CD

if you can have your CDS line up so you activate them all at once to do a whole lot of damage kinda thing, but on cd is what these guys tried to teach me

earnest pond
sick sentinel
#

but i was too dumb to understand or whatever

strong forum
#

because youre playing BV in raid, and you want that extra rage and dmg

#

with tier, your entire goal as pwar is to generate as much rage as you possibly can

to get as many outburst procs and as many avatars as you can

so does it make you channel fleshcraft when you press it?

oh i guess that's what it does for NF/venth

cause activating soulshape or door would be pretty problematic

Pretty sure it does that too

Just autocast

So we want to use iqd with the macro to guarantee stats b4 banner to get haste and have higher banner uptime?

Use it on pull and for execute(stats)

With double leggo and 4p you'll easily get 100% banner uptime

first sigil is nuts if the fight is like 6 mins

charge weaving is key

even for prot

even without reprisal

If you're not charge weaving you're killing your rage gen

balmy narwhal
#

pardon my noobness what is charge weaving? is that heroic leap and charge back kinda thig?

safe thistle
#

maybe change class i guess cause intervene/charge is part of our core you can reduce dmg from someone by using it and you always go back on combat/switch target with charge.

chrome falcon
#

not necessarily leaping out max but yeah

#

strafing out and charging in when stuff is stunned/casting

#

reprisal is awkward to start with for sure

#

but you get used to it

safe thistle
#

intervening another melee in next to you for a proc

#

dont need to be far

chrome falcon
#

^ at the start of each key/raid just make a macro that IV's a melee

#

and that button basically just becomes "generate 20 rage, get some shield block, get a revenge proc"

most of the time you don't even move

Reprisal with necro legendaryt and tier it would be god like

tbh anything other than reprisal now with a set bonus that revolves around generating and spending rage is kinda inting

sharp yacht

reprisal is a ass design too tbh, i understand charge weaving is like Optimal gameplay but that isnt going to make a difference between timing a key or not. Like when i played arms charge weavign is optimal but i didnt do, still got top to near top dps and killed mythic bosses.
