this is honestly not bad

sweet summit
#

50k healing per 3 minutes

urban portal
#

yeah

#

the cd is the bad part

sweet summit
#

277 hps !!

urban portal
#

the damage isnt very funny either

sweet summit
#

test if u can block while it's active pls

urban portal
#

ye need to wait for shit to be off cd

sweet summit
urban portal
#

yes it can

#

just put up shield block beforehand

#

ngl it doesnt heal for that much less than scale

#

scale is 40k every 2 minutes

#

this is 32k every 3 minutes but you can abuse it with the spear to get 50k

#

but heart can crit being a trinket

strong forum
#

yeah and scale does like 150k on 1 target

#

on 2min cd

#

might aswell use riftshard

#

its a 25k absorb every 1min

strong forum
#

thats like s1 levels of scale

urban portal
#

this is whwat im looking at

#

on raidbots

strong forum
#

its minimum a 100k absorb

#

not 40k lol

#

a 278 scale on 5 targets is 200 to 250k

urban portal
#

an average cast of a scale in a 20 is 60k

#

according to a log

#

which is approximately 40k*1.5(the bonus)

strong forum
#

a 252 scale was already like 100k on 5 targets

#

and ilvl increases the absorb insanely

strong forum
#

ah right i forgot they nerfed it

#

on 5 targets at 262 its roughly 90k then

#

54k on pure st

#

damn thats alot worse

strong forum
#

yeah lmao aegis is literally leagues better then

urban portal
#

60k

#

on first pull

strong forum
#

94k

#

1 use

#

the first time he used it he just didnt hit 5 targets

#

god they nerfed scale hard

#

lmao

mighty valley
#

it used to be tuned as basically

strong forum
#

a 252 pre-nerf was already 100k on 5 targets

mighty valley
#

the full power of an offense trinket + the full power of a defense trinket

strong forum
#

now a 262 on 5 targets is only 95ish K on 5

#

a 278 will still be close to 130k

#

but man this is scuffed

chrome falcon
#

i can go check my 278 now

urban portal
#

yeah he hit 2

strong forum
#

its pretty simple matta

#

take the tooltip

#

and double it

#

thats the amount you get from using it on 5 targets

urban portal
#

someeon told me it was 50

strong forum
#

na its double

#

atleast the last time i played

chrome falcon
#

well the tooltip says 56.9k and i just got BARELY 100k

#

on 5 targets

strong forum
#

see

#

thats so fucking scuffed man

#

heroic aegis is better than this LOL

mighty valley
#

good

#

i'm sick of scale

chrome falcon
#

yeah scale used to be almost a full immune now it's

#

idk man i'm sick of scale too

#

but every other tank trinket they've made this expansion is dog and shit

urban portal
#

but yeah hots seems ok

mighty valley
#

they're dogshit because we're comparing them to scale lol

urban portal
#

as long as you do the macro

mighty valley
#

aegis still busted

strong forum
#

codex is good, aegis is absolute king

#

scale is boring but still good enough

#

aaaaand

#

RDM is okay

chrome falcon
#

blizz needs to decide whether they want "tank trinkets" to even exist

strong forum
#

bro blizz doesnt know wtf to do regarding tanks

maiden ravine
#

can't be too good or you screw up pvpz

chrome falcon
#

because it's absolutely fucking stupid that bells and earthbreakers impact are on the fucking PROT loot table

strong forum
#

you can see it with the tiersets

#

you can see it with 0 fuckign class tuning being done

#

besides "here have a vanguard or aura buff"

#

bear and brew tier are wildly overtuned

#

but nothing is being fucking done about it

chrome falcon
#

i was expecting balance fixes this reset yeah

#

but maybe they wait for race

strong forum
#

blizz only cares about MDI when it comes to tanks

#

thats it

#

watch them nerf bear REAL QUICK after mdi

#

if its not done before then

maiden ravine
#

I'd rather they buff the tanks to bear level rather than nerf bear, and I say that as someone who's done more keys as priest and warrior this patch

strong forum
#

kyle

#

bears do literally 2x the dmg of every other tank right now

#

they do more dmg than DPS

#

thats NOT ok

mighty valley
#

5x bear keys inc

urban portal
#

theres no reason to take anything but bear

strong forum
#

and its been known since fucking ptr

urban portal
#

you take 1 demolock for st

strong forum
#

but nothing is being done about it

urban portal
#

and 3 bears

#

5th is a warrior to bshout for bears

strong forum
#

na you take 2 holy priests

#

2 bears

#

1 demo

#

the holy priests will allow bears to have 100% incarn uptime ( no joke )

chrome falcon
#

symbol reduces the CD of incarn? jesus fucking christ

strong forum
#

๐Ÿ™‚

distant crystal
#

the symbol/bark/2pc interaction

strong forum
#

and with Urh

distant crystal
#

is neato

strong forum
#
  • symbols
maiden ravine
#

Blizzard doesn't want to punish others for what happens when you pull massive amounts of trash, I guess putting square root on the tier set would be good.

distant crystal
#

symbol reduces bark, 2pc means bark gives carn

#

and conduit + talent already get bark giga low

strong forum
#

Urh + symbols allows you to stack bark to over 30sec incarn uptime with it

chrome falcon
#

it's ok though sometimes we get to SS for 50k

#

๐Ÿ™‚

distant crystal
#

i think you need to bark during the symbols cast

strong forum
#

with only bark spam

distant crystal
#

or you waste some CDR

strong forum
#

cuz it wont have CD

strong forum
chrome falcon
#

recasting bark adds to the incarn time, doesn't just reset it?

strong forum
#

urh + symbols = infinite bark = 30sec+ incarn uptime when urh ends

chrome falcon
#

coolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcool

distant crystal
#

it takes off 20sec per tick right

#

so you might need to hit it twice lol

strong forum
#

twice?

#

make it 10

distant crystal
#

like you hit it at the beginning right before symbols, then hit it again after a tick

#

then hit it again after last tick

strong forum
#

and then again and again and again cuz urh

distant crystal
#

just let me get my 4pc before the nerf ๐Ÿ˜ข

#

I want to be OP for a little bit

strong forum

B for Balanced

maiden ravine

As someone who enjoyed the corruption stuff, I like this. Last patches are meant for everyone to be OP, if someone doesn't feel good, buff them

distant crystal

#1 boomy on lords is 18K

#

#1 bear is 15K

sweet summit
#

god i fucking hate guardian 4 set so much holy fuck please nerf it

strong forum
#

its pure insanity that it went live like this

sweet summit
#

it's pure insanity it has been live for three weeks like this

maiden ravine
#

Maybe Blizzard doesn't realize how much haste bears can stack?

strong forum
#

they dont realise

#

that they have loads of feedback on it

odd nimbus
#

guys which slot is best for unity leggo?while i have reprisal on feets

#

ring?

maiden ravine
#

Belt until you get 4p mythic and know which tier slot is free

strong forum
#

belt until you have 4p with helm slot open, then you slam it in helm

odd nimbus
#

ow so making it on the ring is not ideal?

strong forum
#

no

#

we want the increased mainstat gain from a legendary

#

real bad

chrome falcon
#

got my 5th tier piece today so unity on helm here we come okayge

maiden ravine
#

I know I'm weird, but I'd rather all tanks be insane. Who cares about DPS feelings. ๐Ÿ˜„

chrome falcon
#

nah these tank tier sets are like

#

pretty fucking stupid

#

in a normal tier, even ours would be BONKERS strong

maiden ravine
#

Rather have a seasonal bonus be bonkers than forgettable.

spring heart
#

oi anyone knows how to update mdt

#

latest version for me is 3/6

#

i cant see current affixes

maiden ravine
#

you can download through github directly, or curse I guess

cinder nova
#

I love how the top damage for every bear is a passive ability that just clobbers.

#

Meanwhile we gotta basically give ourselves an RSI just to get value

spring heart
#

both github and curseforce say that latest version is 3/6

#

like idk how to make current affixes appear

chrome falcon
#

we're having more fun than they are dw

#

bear is miserable to play

strong forum
#

hes busy raiding

cinder nova
#

I dunno I'd be pretty hyped to be doing 18K ST

strong forum
#

they dont do 18k ST

chilly brook
#

I don't even do 18k st as fury

chrome falcon
#

considering their thing that makes them busted is their aoe

cinder nova
#

Sorry, 13K.

strong forum
#

pwar can reach 13k

#

but BDK

#

they

#

with ultra degen nobody will beat a BDK

#

unless you get a very long execute phase

#

and a PI or 2

cinder nova
#

Literally where

#

I don't see a single parse where warrior is over 10K except the meme that is Andy

chilly brook
#

blood kinda nutty

strong forum
#

where does any tank do over 10k

#

thats my question

cinder nova
#

Bear logs

strong forum
#

where

#

show me

chrome falcon
#

i did 9.7k today on skolex

#

(heroic so barely counts but)

strong forum
#

okay so on skolex we only have paladins rn

chrome falcon
#

and that was with a 252 first sigil that was on CD during bloodlust

strong forum
#

over 10k

cinder nova
#

Sausage has a 10K bear

chilly brook
#

sausage also has cleave

strong forum
#

is that pure st?

#

mh kinda is

chrome falcon
#

on hc those cores has like 2hp they die instantly

chilly brook
#

single with intermittent cleave

chrome falcon
#

i was 9.5k dausegne last week

strong forum
#

the tanks there are that high because the fight lasts 2min

#

lol

chrome falcon
#

so 10k is possible there easily

#

but yeah

chilly brook
#

idk

chrome falcon
#

fight is shorter than an 18 tyrannical boss

chilly brook
#

the core was like 10% of my damage as arms

strong forum
#

ofc paladin is gonna own

#

but im specifically talking in a max gear scenario

mighty valley
#

also meta tanks are getting geared faster so have the better early logs, so the gap looks a little bigger than it really is

strong forum
#

we have like ... 1 or 2 warriors gobal that have 4p

chrome falcon
#

๐Ÿ™‚

#

explains why i get rank 1 without using double digit brain cells

strong forum
#

rank1 on public logs

chrome falcon
#

so rank 1

strong forum
#

both sense and jakey still dont have 4p

chrome falcon
strong forum
#

did you reclear already matta?

chrome falcon
#

yeah

strong forum
#

how the fuck did you not beat your skolex

cinder nova
#

How much of a DPS gain is 4p anyway

strong forum
#

with double leggo

strong forum
chrome falcon
#

i accidentally took 2 rend stacks

#

twice

cinder nova
#

That seems excessive. Is the CDR on Ava + Outburst proc that massive?

chrome falcon
#

and my trinkies are stinkies

#

yeah

cinder nova
#

Because the 10% damage from it isn't writing home anything

chrome falcon
#

40k shield slam crits bro

strong forum
#

you get avatar every 30 seconds

chrome falcon
#

hell of a drug

strong forum
#

sometimes quicker

#

thats ALOT OF EXTRA RAGE

lofty widget
#

i hit a 100k crit on anduin today

mighty valley
#

the whole engine just pops off

lofty widget
#

good stuff

chrome falcon
#

wait what do you mean i beat my skolex by 1.8k dps

cinder nova
#

Is it? That's like 1 extra rage a second, maybe 2

#

oh wait the rage from outburst

mighty valley
#

more rage = more AM = more avatar = more rage

urban portal
#

the avatar activation is 30 rage

#

the outburst proc is another 40 rage or so

strong forum
#

its alot

mighty valley
#

45 yeah

urban portal
#

and obviously 10% damage

cinder nova
#

I don't think the 10% damage is doing the heavy lifting in this situation.

#

On its own if it didn't proc outburst it'd be meh

strong forum
urban portal
#

its everything added together

mighty valley
#

10% buff that's up this often is like... also pretty huge

strong forum
#

says here only 1 leggo

#

๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

chrome falcon
#

huh

#

weird

#

i wonder if we should even play itf on skolex

strong forum
#

pets count

cinder nova
chrome falcon
#

pets are too busy giving the melee an excuse to get hit by the swirlies to buff my haste

strong forum
#

avatar has ~60-70% uptime with 4p

#

so thats 6-7% dmg for free

cinder nova
#

Yeah, I mean

#

Free damage

chrome falcon
#

i hit avatar 12 times in our 8 minute LoD kill today

cinder nova
#

But I forgot about the outburst proc

chrome falcon
#

and that's with a bunch of slow amongus phases

cinder nova
#

That seems to be where all the throttle is

strong forum
#

its free dmg, but ofc not as retarded as bear brew or bdk

urban portal
#

its like fury

chrome falcon
#

and me using reprisal literally 0 times

urban portal
#

everything sucks on its own

strong forum
#

9.2 is all about getting infinite rage

urban portal
#

but then you combine everything together

strong forum
#

the rage feedback loop is insane

urban portal
#

it becomes good

cinder nova
#

How tilted do you think people would be if they gave warrior a psuedo vengeance back

strong forum
mighty valley
#

and then you pile on the uptime on 20% STR from banner

strong forum
#

why are you using sigil on pull??

#

are you of stupid

chrome falcon
#

which fight

strong forum
#

skolex

chrome falcon
#

yeah i dunno

#

that was a bad one

strong forum
#

an fight thats shorter than 5min you hold it for execute

cinder nova
#

Speaking of Sigil, it looks pretty spicy but what the fuck is it for besides execute memeing

chrome falcon
#

i used it on pull a few times tonight because i forgot we were going to beat our kill times by 1 minute

strong forum
chrome falcon
#

we beat our halondrus kill time by over 2 minutes so i only got it once there too

cinder nova
#

Even phial/sack?

strong forum
#

yes

chrome falcon
#

it's 30% vers

#

at 252

strong forum
#

well ideally you pair it with sack

cinder nova
#

...this feels simtrap

strong forum
#

how is it simtrap

chrome falcon
#

nope

strong forum
chrome falcon
#

45k shield slams on the pull

#

50k executes at the end

strong forum
#

its straight up 30% more dmg

chrome falcon
#

i saved it for first lk on anduin

#

and then we skipped second LK so i didn't get a good second use

cinder nova
#

Because we've seen trinkets that do thick damage on paper but suck wang in practice. I assume sigil is not a prog trinket then

chrome falcon
#

not really no

#

unless you overgear

#

which most of us do by the time we're doing mythic bosses

cinder nova
#

So using Sigil as NL am I just tap-canceling my FC and going ham?

strong forum
#

trinkets who do thick dmg on paper are trinkets who deal dmg on their own

#

not stat trinkets

#

and for necro, stat trinkets are huge

#

precisely because you get such a big dmg window during execute

chrome falcon
#

dump 30% vers on top of your insane banner buff and you just rip everything a new asshole during burst

chilly brook
#

sack is a huge dam tirnk

chrome falcon
#

i was 7th on damage to anduin tonight (doesn't count LK obviously which is more important BUT)

strong forum
#

the 5min CD is oof, but the absurd amount of stats helps make up for it

cinder nova
#

๐Ÿค” ...hmmm we're farming some of our early H kills. I kinda wanna get this thing now.

strong forum
#

that trinket is like 250 vers perma

#

except you load all of those stats into execute

#

paired with other stuff

cinder nova
#

I don't need to channel Fleshcraft at all for this to work right

strong forum
#

ye

cinder nova
#

I can just slap it and charge to forget it exists

chrome falcon
#

it starts the cast but yeah you don't need to finish it or anything

cinder nova
#

Oh wait it's not keyed to your actual fleshcraft timer

#

It's casting fleshcraft and giving vers

#

I see

chilly brook
#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

#

people think we pad

#

but we really just slam

chrome falcon
#

i didn't even check my damage on remnant tbh i assumed it would be dog

mighty valley
#

sim trap trinkets are ones that you actually have to do something to get perfect use out of it

#

or like cube, where you can't guarantee you get what you want

#

this is just fatty stat buff, can't mess it up

#

well, you can, if you're foolish

cinder nova
#

So it sounds like top dam trinkets are nutsack and sijil

chrome falcon
#

sigil only for single target

#

terrible in keys

cinder nova
#

I barely think about trinkets in keys tbh

chrome falcon
#

same

#

just slap on aegis and something that gives stats

#

@chilly brook i was joint last on remnant jesus

mighty valley
#

my once-a-week raid guild is slow enough that i pretty much only use damage trinkets in raid

strong forum
#

wait hol up

mighty valley
#

actually care about living keys

chrome falcon
#

fucked anduin up though because we just pushed him from 40%->0 without getting a second intermission lmao

mighty valley
#

anduin is gonna explode this week holy shit

#

nerfs after nerfs after nerfs

chrome falcon
#

yeah if you have good damage

strong forum
#

this is a surprise

#

in a 1time use window

#

phial is actually minimally better

chilly brook
#

I'd still run sigil

mighty valley
#

hmmmmm that's close enough that if it's any fight where execute dmg matters more

chrome falcon
#

huh

chilly brook
#

personally

chrome falcon
#

interesting

mighty valley
#

i'd sigil

chilly brook
#

Just for the omegachad executes

urban portal
#

sigit is funnier

strong forum
#

ya this is exactly 1 use of sigil

urban portal
#

yeah

strong forum
#

in a shorter fight

#

sigil is better

#

and in a longer fight, sigil is better

#

but at exactly 5min, phial wins by a few dps

chilly brook
#

And in dopamine, sigil is better

urban portal
#

m assuming you changed the variance to 1.0

chilly brook
#

๐Ÿ™‚

urban portal
#

so its not 5 min+-20%

strong forum
#

it is

mighty valley
#

go back in time to sylvanas, three uses

strong forum
chrome falcon
#

you'll get 3 on anduin and jailer i think

urban portal
#

yeah so it sometimes will be 2 ueses

chrome falcon
#

not sure how long anduin has been

strong forum
#

but this sim specifically

#

uses sigil only for execute

chilly brook
#

so only 1 use

strong forum
#

yes

chrome falcon
#

anduin is annoying because 5 min CD and 4 mins between intermission, i think on mythic you sigil first intermission and execute but maybe it's pull and second intermission+BL

strong forum
#

cuz im not smart enough to tell the sim to use sigil on pull if the trinket will still be ready for execute

chilly brook
#

get to use gavel every intermission

#

๐Ÿ™‚

chrome falcon
#

i hate that we're killing hc jailer just for one item

#

feels like such a waste of time

#

but man that item is

#

real good

chilly brook
#

But Andy is like 9.5 minutes

strong forum
chilly brook
#

so 2 uses really

strong forum
#

this is 2x sigil use on a 350sec fight

chilly brook
#

Honestly Andy is a perfect long fight

strong forum
#

1 on pull other on execute

#

0 variance

chilly brook
#

I don't even mind that it's basically a 10 minute fight

#

It feels so good

chrome falcon
#

yeah anduin doesn't feel like it takes 10 minutes

mighty valley
#

yeah anduin is a hype fight

chrome falcon
#

whereas sylvanas felt like 20

chilly brook
strong forum
#

so yeah, in a real scenario sigil is just better

chilly brook
#

my 259 offhand doesn't even get replace by a 278

strong forum
#

if used correctly

chrome falcon
#

my ret pala gets more dps from going M jaithys->HC jailer

#

than he gets from 0pc->4pc

mighty valley
#

sylvanas was only good as a fight you beat first pull on normal going in blind

#

anything that resembled prog, blah

#

none of it held up to repetition except 3rd phase has cool execution

#

but having to slog through the rest to get there........ awful

cinder nova
chrome falcon
#

it's ret paladin

cinder nova
#

or is the club that good

chrome falcon

and they've been repaying that sin

#

ever since

cinder nova
#

EHAHAHA

#

Oh man

#

That shit was a wild post-season

chrome falcon
#

my ret paladin is top 50 world and his double legendary+4pc this week is letting him do as much dps as our demo lock did last week

#

fucking extremely tragic class

cinder nova

And it's melee

mighty valley
#

the true holy war - the first real ret paladin vs launch DK

chrome falcon

and it's probably the worst class in the game in keys

Yeah my main worry was just that it'd be completely abandoning your kill potential

Especially since you're spending a GCD getting in and out of it

your kill potential comes from lining up CDs

I dunno I'm still partial to Askren vs Maz

That knee was audible

It's a fucking wonder he's got a skull after that

chilly brook

Don Frye is a legend

cinder nova

Let alone how clean his face was in the day after interview

#

By some miracle Askren looked like he didn't take the entire weight of Mas' flying knee right to the front of his dome

chilly brook
#

awkward angle of impact

#

doesn't look like he actually took the knee as much as the femur

cinder nova
#

Oh he took knee. If you find the vid you can hear the clack sound on impact even from the distance they were at

#

Gotta imagine if the ref thought he was dead for a sec

chilly brook
#

homie took most of the leg on the side of the face but the impact looks more like it's lower

#

maybe the chin

cinder nova
#

The fuck was that sound then

chilly brook
#

really looks more like he took the knee to the collarbone

cinder nova
#

If that's true it's shocking it's intact, but his head would've eaten the lion's share of the force

chilly brook

like the knee pushed his head to the side

mighty valley

did he have 4p for this fight

tbh he probably knocked himself out with the neck movement

I'm a dps main casually tanking vault keys, not sure if I'm a fan of the 4p, I noticed I overcap IP a fuckton, even randomly when the 2p procs, nothing you can do about it i guess?

chrome falcon

nope nothing at all

#

have fun blasting 120 rage into literally just anger management and your next outburst

low beacon
#

yea it feels so bad

#

spamming revenge but doesn't help if that's a free proc too

cinder nova
#

The value of the 2/4P is the obnoxious amount of rage it lets it shovel into AM and thereby increase our overall potency.

mighty valley
#

most of the time damage intake is constant enough that the IP press isn't truly wasted

low beacon
#

i just noticed that my weakaura shows red ip value which means its capped and i made the outburst a "bam" sound, so whenever red text is there and i hear bam, the next thunder clap or shield slam basically gives no ip at all

couldve been something else for the set bonus im sure

having avatar all the time basicaslly is nice though

i was playing necro because i thought you'd get conduits 100% but you dont, so i always started a pull by using banner next to the shadow priest

would be awkward to stand there 2 globals before going it

don't think about other people with banner 95% of the time

treating banner as a group buff is the trap

it's just a giant buff for yourself

i feel like im getting so much rage that i cant even find time to dump it into Revenge... does it make sense to use some Empowered TC then? Or is it still just more value to put SS even though the entire Rage gain goes into IP instead of Revenge? ๐Ÿค”

yeah just use it on SS and blow more rage into IP

maximize rage generated, maximize rage spent, even if it's going to empty IPs

That much rage that you're dumping is going to benefit Indom

the fact that its a 50% dr makes it hard

indom probably is just more hps

if u generate enough rage for perma ip

ur basically always 50% dr right

there is no such thing as perma ip

you can cap IP and a blocked hit from a heroic boss will wipe out the entire IP

whatโ€™s the chance of more lego tier set timing

it should be 100%

is it pure cope or we getting another 6%

because some stuff is all over the place atm

but i doubt we're getting touched

more like nerfs on the other outlier tanks

that should have happened months ago in PTR

maybe they want bear and other tanks to b strong

to increase player retention and tank population in m+

and were rewarded for it

waxen orbit

Yeah the talent could for sure use a redesign

light quartz
# chrome falcon more like nerfs on the other outlier tanks

I have a feeling they wont touch them unless there are any bugs going on, like they did prot warrior through BFA. That being said with current gear levels getting 18% DR from consecration and 50-60% Block while blocking spells feels pretty powerful, would love to see some buffs to Ignore Pain and to the 4 set to bring the gap closer.

IP is just a trash spell that needs to go away or be fixed this is outrageous.
How can IP overcap after less than 2 and half IP in a row when ursoc's fury's shield by spamming thrash overcap looks like it doesn't exist ? IP is a major problem in prot warrior kit that will not get fix 'til next expansion at least but let's hope 9 2 5 save us all in some ways

it's tricky, if IP was an efficient good spell at the start of the season, it would be busted by now with this much rage

idk, rethink the spell imo

rethink what we're meant to do with rage

mighty valley
#

You can find times in spellcasts etc when you can get to charge distance even when you do have aggro โ€” which is good since you want to use the block uptime if you can

And yeah intervene on cd when you have aggro
