and didn't even see they were at 54%

waxen orbit
#

For fights like Anduin with 4pc you can get 100% uptime

cinder nova
#

I cry every time

waxen orbit
#

In keys (22 range) I’ve been maintaining ~90% uptime over the course of the key (not including time out of combat)

cinder nova
#

If you factor out of combat it's still like 50-60%

blazing condor
#

ok so whats the jist again?
unity on belt + rep on feet?

#

or what

cinder nova
#

which is still kinda whack

#

BIS is Unity on helm, but non-ideal 4p configs can force it on belt or wrist.

#

Rep on feet always

waxen orbit
blazing condor
#

thank

cinder nova
#

I will also say that while Kyr probably will shine more the higher keys are being done, NL feels cashmunny atm because of all the extra rage and between the defensive benefits of the NL tree and Undulating Movements

#

You feel like a completely different tank.

#

Only thing that'll still plow you over is huge magic burst like HOA obliterators

#

Everything else is just

¯_(ツ)_/¯

dawn canyon
#

Nf will gain some damage once they fix the Lego

inland wasp
#

so little late to the party but the new prot buffs seem promissing

cinder nova
#

They aren't fixing any major issues endemic with the spec

#

But nobody will say no to more mit

inland wasp
#

thats kinda what im thinkin. like kool more mitigation and you made IP slightly better then garbage

cinder nova
#

Not really. It's better, yeah, but polish a turd it's still a turd.

#

Hasn't even moved the needle on its role as a perfunctory rage dump

inland wasp
#

yeah, i guess it kinda makes the free one with our tier better? bout it

cinder nova
#

Yeah. I think the biggest change is the uhhh... SR changes

urban portal
#

the biggest buff is the vanguard buffs

cinder nova
#

But that's only going to be noticeable in PVP

urban portal
#

5% damage for free is insane

cinder nova
#

And prot PVP lmao

inland wasp
#

yeah the vangard is a good change

cinder nova
#

We DH now boiz

urban portal
#

5% reduced damage

inland wasp
#

demo shout getting slightly stronger wasnt bad either. we alrdy build to use on CD

cinder nova
#

I predict that despite these many small changes people are gonna complain somehow about warriors suddenly being unkillable juggernauts

sweet summit
inland wasp
#

i mean it does make us more tanky if only slightly

dawn canyon
#

The reflect is the biggest thing imo

#

Huge dam increase

cinder nova
#

kek

blazing condor
#

actually true

inland wasp
#

if it doesnt get used up instantly like usual

blazing condor
#

SR buff is big

cinder nova

Still waiting on them to segregate the reflect and DR

Imagine good design

Why would you do unity on helm. It’s a haste vers tier slot

#

Wouldn’t you do gloves assuming you have all 5 tier

strong forum
#

more stats > better stats

blazing condor
#

god i fuckin hate torghast

#

holy shit

strong forum
#

rygelon drops 285 gloves, nobody drops 285 helmet, so 291 leggo gives you the most stats on helm slot

sinful stone
#

you cant use rygelon gloves and leggo helm

strong forum
#

ah right im dumbo

#

but

sinful stone
#

math not your strong subject

strong forum
#

the stat gain from using tier gloves vs tier helmet

#

is better to use leggo on helmet

sinful stone
#

helm has more stat budget, so the idea is that going to 291 helm from 278 hellm is more stats than 291 gloves from 278 gloves

strong forum
#

yes

#

yes unity changes based on cov

thats the whole point

zereth mortis wormhole when

When you tank a key and a rando dps says those buffs really did a lot

lol

try to int your keys so community perception remains low for more buffs

I'm liking necro a lot for war.

#

only thing that sucks is swapping for fury.

#

I mean yeah but it's just an annoying step to do every so often

crystal iris
#

Prot would be offspec for me and Ive got anduin helmet, should I just craft reprisal on boots and save myself the trouble?

blazing condor
#

rep should be on boots okayge

crystal iris
#

oh you guys meant unity on helm?

blazing condor
#

ye

crystal iris
#

eh I might eventually, but I mean mythic anduin prog will happen before mythic lords / ryg so im more likely to get that helmet first

#

or is that made obsolete with tier crafting coming week 8?

their players feel like shit (understandably after playing all day for 4 weeks)

and echo is clearly better on jailer and about to kill it

GGs i guess

chrome falcon
#

i can't even play this game for 6 hours a day for a week so don't blame them

#

tier must have been horrible and their venue doesn't seem great

blazing condor

idk if it was the raid or the way the raid was put out

but yeah it felt hella long and dragged out

now imagine echo not killing it for 2 more days

raid is just way too hard

blazing condor

they dont have Kungen

chrome falcon

tuning is totally fucked because of the double legendary thing

i mean it kinda had to be tuned for 4p and double leggo

i dont even wanna meme him anymore

yeah i only play pwar when its weak

9.0, 8.0

is when i peaked

blazing condor
#

honestly

#

same

#

9.0 bfa i was kinda banging

#

raid-wise it was 9.1/9.1.5

#

ive always been a m+ dude tho

crystal iris
#

what amount of haste do you guys like?

#

I know I know, stats dont matter

#

but ive got all these at very similar ilvl

strong forum
#

i dont like to be below 25% haste

#

but with tier and double leggo you want as much as you can get

crystal iris
#

it would be mostly M+ (almost only)

blazing condor
#

idk all of those rings but i'd probably run death god signet and something else

strong forum
#

yes

blazing condor
#

high haste

#

im with nom on this one. 25+% is pref

crystal iris
#

stichflesh (haste vers)

#

I thought mastery wasnt great? Ive got haste crit rings vs death gods that is haste mast

strong forum
#

whatever gets you the most haste

blazing condor

2nd ring from top is haste crit right

#

idek anymore

#

washed

crystal iris
#

ouh and this

blazing condor
#

but yeah

strong forum
#

dont do this ring

crystal iris
#

wish the leech was on a haste one tho

strong forum
#

play haste/vers haste/crit rings

sturdy sable
#

Or crit vers if your High haste already and feeling spicy

crystal iris
#

perfect

blazing condor
#

imo just socket haste

crystal iris
blazing condor
#

socking vers is cringe

#

unless you have like 40% haste already

crystal iris
#

32%

blazing condor
#

but idk maybe that 48 extra vers rating will help you push top keys

crystal iris
#

lol fine

#

was just trying to balance stats out

blazing condor
#

aim for haste

#

but if you got a ring thats high asf in ilvl then they could be better

#

cus eventually more stats > right stats

crystal iris
#

youre right, when equipping both 265 rings my haste is still 27% so that should be fine

#

ya

#

I aggree

#

Now I just need to find a blacksmith

blazing condor
#

don't focus too much on your secondary stats

crystal iris
#

had reprisal on legs that wont do

blazing condor
#

try and get what you can but if not thenit doesnt matter

crystal iris
#

I put on as high ilvl as I can, then tinker with rings / similar ilvl gear

#

you arent saying anything that merits a response?

#

cool

blazing condor

35% is good

they're 0.6%

they got the fight already and im sure they all just wanna get it over with lol

I mean if they wanted to they could sleep for a full day and just kill it tomrrow still got plenty of time

blazing condor

it's true

but i'd rather have it be done with

#

liquid called it

crystal iris
#

bit odd that liquid sees a .6% pull and calls it there

blazing condor
#

then go to bed knowing i won't have to do it tomorrow

strong forum
blazing condor
#

well i mean their players feel like shit, morale is down, and they see echo already having won

#

they're nowhere near

#

might as well call it

crystal iris
#

Idk its a wierd move

strong forum
#

better for the mental to just go chill

#

how is it a weird move?

blazing condor
#

i can see it being "weird" in the sense that it ruins the "race"

#

for echo and stuff

#

knowing they just quit

crystal iris
#

Would have been a lot chiller to just not say anything, wait 30 minutes and then congratulate echo for winning

blazing condor
#

but i mean does it really make a difference

crystal iris
#

instead of seeing a .6% pull and announcing that youre done

strong forum
#

everybody knows that echo alread won

#

when they saw echo at 0.6%

#

and liquid only hit p4 once

#

like breh

#

thats not a race

waxen cradle
#

overall has anyone ran the numbers on where the buffs leave as such in a flat % damage reduction gain ?

strong forum
#

why bother

#

its like 4 different DR buffs

crystal iris
#

Im saying they should have just not said anything about calling it. Would have been more sportsmanlike to call a break on the stream, go for dinner or just chill and then when echo kills it then its over idk

#

I guess its not a big thing. Im sure they are all mentally exausted and probably very frustrated

blazing condor
#

wouldn't really be genuine

#

if they took a long ass break

#

and just wait it out

#

but i get it

crystal iris
#

I fully understand they must be completly drained but you wouldnt want to see it as "well echo is so close to killing it and winning we give up"

waxen cradle
#

just wondering where it leaves us in terms of where our "community" perceived weaknesses, and I say that with a HUGE grain of salt as well there were few in anything outside of those who WF push/top 100 if even that

chrome falcon
#

How is it unsportsmanlike to announce when you're bowing out of a race

rugged mural
#

Still haven't pulled from vault. Got tier chest from raid so not taking the 278 chest. Have a 278 crit/haste ring and a 278 crit/vers neck. Any good way to make a decision for tanking M+?

chrome falcon
#

🤔

crystal iris
chrome falcon
#

It's not like they're going to start again when echo wins, they're literally stopping for multiple days

#

That's the same thing?

strong forum
chrome falcon
#

^

crystal iris
#

ya its 100% understandable

chrome falcon
#

This race basically ended when one of their best players had to quit

#

And they had to train a dps main to tank this shit

waxen cradle
#

ah ok

chrome falcon
#

Not to say that echo aren't the better players

crystal iris
#

I think they are all basically on the same skill level

#

almost a mental fortitude test at this point

chrome falcon
#

Yeah no-one plans for it to go past 2 weeks

strong forum
#

theyve been at it since february

chrome falcon
#

Liquid's hotel time ran out and they had to hog the convention hall when another event was meant to start

waxen cradle
#

not been watching so much it had come down to Echo and who else ?

crystal iris
#

Idk how I feel about this either tbh

chrome falcon
#

He's not saying blizz has to improve it

#

He's saying they have to improve their long-term sleep schedules

crystal iris
#

oh I see now

#

or they could release player power on week 1 too

waxen cradle
#

If nothing else it has been interesting to see the race get shaken up for the first time in a while and there not be a pretty obvious winner within a week

chrome falcon
#

Uh

#

There hasn't been an obvious winner within a week

#

This whole expansion

crystal iris
#

I just dont like the idea of raid designed around RWF

chrome falcon
#

Echo and Liquid were both simultaneously pulling both denathrius and sylvanas to sub 5%

#

Both of the last 2 races have been giga close

crystal iris
#

like there isnt a problem with a raid designed around tier and double leggos, so if RWF takes a longer time beacuse they dont have that extra power then so be it

#

or give us all the extra power right away

chrome falcon
#

Raid isn't designed around RWF, 99.9% of raiders aren't going to see these bosses like this

crystal iris
#

ya

strong forum
chrome falcon
#

But yeah we should all have all the power straight away

#

Stupid not to have done that

#

Caused themselves and the playerbase problems for absolutely zero reason

strong forum
#

this whole splits degeneracy and stuff legit doesnt affect anyone but top 10/20 guilds

crystal iris
#

A joke like, skipping mechanics and phases bc were pushing too much dam

strong forum
#

the double leggo stuff is whack

#

indeed

#

tierset however is technically fine

crystal iris
#

I dont think they should have nerfed the raid until at least this / next week

strong forum
#

but double leggo releasing randomly at week X just shouldnt be

chrome falcon
#

no HC anduin needed those nerfs

#

boss way too hard even after the first nerf

crystal iris
urban portal
#

hp did not need a nerf

#

sure the adds could walk slower

#

since not every pug has the cc

waxen cradle
#

them locking double leggos behind X weeks into the patch feels like just a way to draw out the content

strong forum

i just recommend putting CAS in the middle

mighty valley

I think it's cool to have a hard final raid that stands for a long time, there just hasn't been one since the RWF turned into this level of event so it wasn't planned for

you run hammer with prog over ashen jug right?

I dont execute much

strong forum
#

no

#

OMG

pls start executing!

its like 20% of our dmg in raid

waxen cradle
#

And I dont even know how to feel about the announcement for season 4 content.... maybe I am looking at it the wrong way but it feels like a kind of "oh shit the player base is going to not have enough to do guys come up with something to keep them busy until our new expac is ready"

yes

all your rage in raid goes into execute

Are the prot warrior buffs significant at all?

I havent played prot warrior for years, and i mostly do m+ these days. Ive always thought prot was rather fun so i was more wondering from an m+ PoV

safe thistle

sorry 😛

NF is the choice because it can lock down an entire pack for 12 seconds

How does necro work with prot

cinder nova
#

Well.

#

It works well.

#

:^)

#

👉 😎 👉

viral flume
#

I've never played necro warr, and I thought it just gave mastery (which I was led to believe is a bad stat)

#

For prot^

cinder nova
#

There's a conduit called Veteran's Repute that gives like 23% STR while banner is up

#

And if you're not a geed with 2p or 4p you can have 70-100% uptime on banner

#

Plus Marelith has some 💯 base abilities in his bind that make mitigation nice

viral flume
#

But defensively it doesn't offer much eh?

#

Oh I suppose, soulbinds are a thing

misty marsh
#

I mean the signature ability is good for every tank at the beginning of every boss or during downtime, no?

chrome falcon
#

23% str is massive defensively

#

imagine if you could wear like 3 more pieces of chest armour

urban portal
#

applies to any spec

cinder nova
#

Plus banner gives 4 rage every 1 sec or whatever

#

Which is massive if you have good uptime

#

You use 2p/4p to rage so you can get rage while you rage

#

you feel me?

viral flume
#

Das a lot of rage

cinder nova
#

Yeah, the entire purpose of NL is to just juice the extra rage we get by getting value through banner, which through Veteran's Repute, gives a massive bonus in damage and defense.

#

If Shield Block is a 100% added block chance, why do i still take damage (this is a very dumb question but I would like to understand the logic better)

chrome falcon
#

block =/= dodge/parry

#

block does not reduce your damage taken by 100%

limpid lion
#

Isn't block just a DR?

chrome falcon
#

no

limpid lion
#

then what does block actually do

chrome falcon
#

30% DR on a base block, 60% DR on a crit block (mastery)

limpid lion
#

so it's DR on blocked attacks?

chrome falcon
#

yes blocked hits do less damage

#

dodged/parried hits do no damage

limpid lion
#

is there an ICD on blocking?

chrome falcon
#

no

limpid lion
#

So then what's the point of crit blocking when Shield Block is up if Shield Block is 100% added block

chrome falcon
#

30% DR on a base block, 60% DR on a crit block (mastery)

limpid lion
#

oh wait shield block increases the chance not the dr

chrome falcon
#

shield block would not be very good if it almost never did anything

limpid lion
#

so basically shield block makes it so all blockable attacks are just mitigated

cinder dirge
#

Necrolords is super good only when you have 2p or even 4p so you can use anger management.
That way your avatar uptime (which reduce dmg taken by 10% with 4p) will go up.
Your shieldwall 50% Dmg reduction CD will go down drastically (around 1min30 sec CD when play necrolord) so you can use it almost every pull (not counting urrh)
Fleshcraft gives you 20% dmg reduction huge shield (depending if you combined it with last stand or not), you can't get CC while cahnneling it with marileth soulbind every 2min (not counting urrh)
Banner gives you 23% strength as long as you keep it increasing your dmg AND your armor

In other words, you can't die unless you fkd up

chrome falcon
#

you got it

I see

23% str is giving yourself 10% more armor.

mighty valley
#

Crit gives parry

maiden ravine
#

yeah, I was getting it mixed up with the armor and how agi gives dodge to druid, brm, and dh

#

I know DK and Paladin AM scales with STR, but I don't think it's as direct as 1 str = 1 armor

unkempt trout
#

how much uptime do you have on banner with 4p

maiden ravine
#

it's near 100%

#

I've heard stories of some people pressing it again just to reactivate Plaguey

unkempt trout
#

is necro better defensively than kyrian

maiden ravine
#

I'll let smarter people than me answer that, but "defensively" is hard to measure.

cinder dirge
#

It's worlds apart

#

kyr and nf are for aoe dmg and no threat problem but lack survability
Necro is an immortal god

#

I just tanked a sanguine +20 taking triple pack early

#

Couldn't die

#

Had shield wall at the beginning and at the end of the pack thanks to urh.

#

And banner that gives tons of rage + anger management that reduces shield wall CD everytime you spend 10 rage

worn basalt
#

veve is that with 2/4pc tier?

unkempt trout
#

any necro warriors that stream keys?

My biggest problem with doing that triple pull is melee dying to traps and thrusts (which I aim at the wall) because urh is such a fatass keks

my lock is a vulp so I can't judge

why would vulpera be a meme

"the game would be better if i got gear faster" - every player, no matter the gear design

urban portal
#

ye

#

its like

#

by the end of the tier you have bis gear just from vault

#

yet there are plenty of guilds that arent CE

mighty valley
#

pug players are gonna gatekeep no matter what

#

having things to chase and hitting power spikes is fun

urban portal
#

tbf

#

you have to gatekeep

#

you dont know if they are like a CE alt

#

or some shitter who got carried into aotc

mighty valley
#

yeah i just don't think they're very good at it

#

there are plenty of 4p gamers who have no idea how to m+

urban portal
#

and having bis gear is 2 things

#
  1. they make the game easier, since a shitter with 4p is still gonna do more than an average gamer with 0
#

or 2. they are able to down heroic last 3

mighty valley
#

or paid to get carried

urban portal
#

or that

#

but refer to 1

#

like im fairly sure gingi with 0 set will do less damage than the say, #100 hunter

mighty valley
#

sure, but that kinda gatekeeping does hurt players who are good but have been unlucky on tier so far

urban portal
#

for sure

mighty valley
#

but i dunno, the true solution is end up with a social group of players who are 1) good and 2) actually like each other

urban portal
#

yeah

#

just like in real life, wow is a nepotism based game

#

the only game thats truly your skill is like starcraft and fighting games

mighty valley
#

and friends can teach their friends how to get better at the game

urban portal
#

but who plays those

mighty valley
#

i play fighting games

#

but also the online experience is miserable lol

#

also most fun with people you actually know

#

rts games died because they're 100% stress all the time

#

and there's nothing to blame but yourself

i dont like fighting games w ppl you know

cuz everyone only play couple chars

Good morning guys 😄

Just to understand. Why is Kyrian actually better compared to NF? Which effect makes Kyr better?

worthy haven

Spear go boom

Kyrian is better cuz phial is more useful

Also it's much easier to use spear

Warrior

Ignore Pain now ignores 55% of the damage (was 50%).
Protection
Demoralizing Shout now reduces the damage enemies deal to you by 25% (was 20%).
Ignore Pain now reduces the cost of Ignore Pain to 35 Rage (was 40 Rage).
Spell Reflection cooldown reduced to 20 seconds (was 25 seconds).
Vanguard reduces all damage taken by 15% (was 10%).

just not the outlier

plush tendon

In raid, pretty balanced

#

Keys, prot pumps

#

Actually, most tanks pump now

#

But a lot is scenario based; like a bear Druid smacks in DOS ardenweald where they pull everything and it tickles when they have their CDS running; however a prot warrior shreds through the maze is mists

blazing condor
#

mists is a good dg for us

easy seismic spam and physical damage

We like 40 second packs of like 5-8 mobs

you get DR before that as well

really. so, are you aiming for 40?

you're aiming for main stat

then haste > vers > crit=mastery

will 40 even be possible with tier itemization?

Yo I got a hot-take

That will likely get me put on a shitlist by healer pugs

But I gotta vocalize it

#

Healer dam matters less this patch than it did last patch because the overall damage potential of DPS and tanks this patch is higher than it was last patch, hence allowing healers to essentially settle for 2k DPS overall in keys (or not even) and solely focus on healing without it being a problem

strong forum
#

nothing changed about healer damage mattering

waxen orbit

No yeah and healers should still optimize and min max the same way everyone else does

I’m simply saying

its only cuz its early season and nobody is pushing keys where dmg output is the issue
