#

You just don't block

craggy pilot
#

just stun at the correct times?

strong forum
#

And kill instead

craggy pilot
#

haha ye ok 😄

#

so probably not a good idea to do while im pushing my RIO?

strong forum
#

Like if you're gonna go kiting with seismic, you might aswell not play seismic

craggy pilot
#

but for weekly +15 its doable?

west walrus
#

The idea of dps, is to kill mobs before they kill you ratge

strong forum
#

Ofc it's doable in +15

craggy pilot
#

but should i all in and do it while pushing r.io?

strong forum
#

No

#

Seismic is not for pushing

#

Only for meme padding

craggy pilot
#

ye ok

#

saves me 100k gold ❤️

limpid pawn
#

for 20+, HoA timer seems really tight

strong forum
#

That depends entirely on your dps players

#

And route

limpid pawn
#

do you have a good route for this week?

#

been trying to experiment a bit

strong forum
#

Na i don't have any routes

#

My routes are still s1 routes

#

I just hold W

dawn canyon
#

never change it up bedge

spiral warren
#

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it

#

Wait this isn’t fury what’s this channel

dawn canyon
blazing condor
#

so whats the best fleshcraft tech

#

i cba to do it before pulls

jagged pier
#

i dont

blazing condor
#

just do it mid pull with sb up then?

lofty widget
#

i just do it when i need an extra defensive or whatever

jagged pier
#

just dont use it

#

🤷

blazing condor
#

:T

chrome falcon
#

press on cd for marileth mastery

#

basically it

jagged pier
#

u dont have to full cast for the mastery

#

u can just tap

#

actually i could be wrong

#

i dunno

#

🤷

blazing condor
#

makes sense

#

feels like most abilties proc in the beginning of another cast

#

not after a channel

chrome falcon
#

nope you just tap for mastery

uncut notch
#

ngl

#

i was a kyrian purist

#

and i cant do anywhere close to the dps i do as kyr as necro

#

but banner makes me feel like a fucking freak

ebon geyser
#

I'm back kiddos

uncut notch
#

i wanna listen to death metal and punch things

austere forum
#

So are more and more ppl splitting Necro and Kyrian for raid? Which do you prefer?

chilly brook
#

which is good

blazing condor
#

does it tho isnt it just spam more rage

chilly brook
#

makes you a better tank and makes you set a better pace for keys

blazing condor
#

or am i misremembering

chilly brook
#

specifically it makes you chain

#

a lot

blazing condor
#

fun with bolster peepoHappy

#

or you mean chain charges

uncut notch
#

Thoughts as a total scrub

#

Its tricky with aggro

#

spear was VERY good for just oneshot 999% threat on everything

chilly brook
blazing condor
#

tbh tho yeah spear was nice

uncut notch
#

and the damage loss is very bigly

blazing condor
#

if you play with a fury warr its not uncommon he hogs aggro a bit

#

but i havent had aggro issues as necro yet

uncut notch
#

fleshcraft is very awkward to use

chilly brook
#

idk

#

I'm not noticing a huge dps loss

#

doing 20-30k on packs

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

vernal vale
#

I've never had any aggro issues as necro.

uncut notch
#

tbf im 90% sure i was getting trolled by my group a little

Is revenge our main aoe Aggro ability?

vernal vale
#

This k its all about how you open and if the dps are rushing ahead of you.

blazing condor
#

challenging shout 😎

chilly brook
#

in like everything

uncut notch
median tulip
#

Like @uncut notch says, it's not overall aggro that worries me, it's snap aggro at the start of an M+ pull when my Fury friend bursts like crazy

chilly brook
#

more revenge=more shield slam resets

blazing condor
#

just wait 4 min between every pull

#

kapp

uncut notch
#

like it wasnt a problem per say

#

Its just like, ive gone from literally never worrying

vernal vale
#

Ravager

chilly brook
uncut notch
#

to having to taunt one or two mobs

#

Aaand again Phial > Fleshcraft 10000000:1

vernal vale
#

You can honestly suffer a use of Thunderclap to help with threat

median tulip
chilly brook
#

The sad thing is I do wait until like a ramp or two

#

and still rip aggro

vernal vale
#

^

#

All about that CD usage to go bug numbers

chilly brook
#

Why do you think I'm back to tanking again

uncut notch
#

but ive gone from 9-10k average as kyr to around 7-8

chilly brook
#

If I'm gonna pull aggro at least let me be a good tank

median tulip
#

I feel overall that snap threat is a weakness of ours.

uncut notch
#

But i was a kyr main for all of 9.1 and have done precisely 2 keys as necro

median tulip
#

I always have to let the pally cotank take first aggro in raids, as his snap aggro is way more than mine

chilly brook
#

press

#

more

I dont think warrior should struggle with aggro

uncut notch
#

wat

sweet summit
#

i agree with late

#

i play with a mongo fuck fury warrior

#

hate him so much

#

but aggro usually isn't a problem unless i fuck up

jagged pier
sweet summit
#

and if it is we have intervene

chilly brook
#

if you think you're hitting revenge enough

median tulip
#

I am forever intervening on the Fury warrior

chilly brook
#

you're not

#

Hell I'm not hitting revenge enough

i did 308 revenj in a pf16

jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus

that pf

look at cpm

i don't have any personal logs to pull from I don't think

I need to start logging my shit

np man happy to help

uncut notch
#

how are we working out cpm pls

#

are you just cast/total time

#

or is it in logs

#

cant see it

sweet summit
#

player -> casts

chrome falcon
#

Logs-> casts

#

It’s on the right

uncut notch
#

love it cheers

#

10.3cpm

#

so i guess yeah

#

spam more revenge

chrome falcon
#

Yeah once every 6 seconds is crazy low

uncut notch
#

feels like i pop it as much as i can but clearly room to speed it up

#

Another thing - your HPS is way way high at 4.5-5k

#

how are you getting it that high?

#

I fairly consistently kick around 3-4

chrome falcon
#

Press ignore pain

#

If you stop overcapping rage you’ll get that

vernal vale
#

Set bonus apparently helps a lot as well n

#

Free ignore pain

uncut notch
#

I have 2 set but its one IP every 15 seconds or so

#

doesnt feel revolutionary

vernal vale
#

Gain more rage to spend more rage

#

More free ignore pain.

chilly brook
#

and running fueled by violence

median tulip
#

Jesus Halls trash hurts

chilly brook
#

the healer barely healed me

#

in that dungeon

#

he only did 1m of his healing to me

vernal vale
#

I thought it didn't provide much if anything.

chilly brook
vernal vale
#

Fair enough lol

chilly brook
#

although with how much IP you end up spamming/getting from set

#

and the huge rage of banner

#

it probably actually amounts to a sizeable amount of absorb over the long run

vernal vale
#

Brutal vitality was what I ran season1 when I was playing even more casual than I do now.

chilly brook
#

oh wait

#

sorry fueled by violence was the wrong one

#

I'm using the one that adds to IP

#

from your dam

vernal vale
#

Brutal vitality.

#

That makes much more sense lol

chilly brook
#

yea

#

my b

#

yea Deep Wounds damage is lol

vernal vale
#

All good lol. As I said ran brutal vitality during nathria when I was in a normal only guild so my wife could try out raiding.

chilly brook
#

Stalwart, Unnerving and Brutal

vernal vale
#

She didn't like it now I'm pushing back to higher tier play.

vernal vale
#

Less reliant on how well I'm actually playing.

chilly brook
#

I'd have to log keys to see the difference in the two in real applications

#

but at least in the 15 I felt like Brutal Vitality was very noticeable

vernal vale
#

I think pika recommended brutal vitality at one point.

#

Would have to go look at his videos on YouTube to check again.

mighty valley
#

The early conduit rankings were pretty feelycrafty

chilly brook
#

yea I'd like to see the difference between the two in logs

#

but from what I did yesterday brutal vitality seemed to be doing a lot of work

vernal vale
#

Hey sometimes what feels good to you can work out. Especially since none of us are robots who push buttons exactly the same.

mighty valley
#

I'm gonna miss this prot next patch

vernal vale
#

Especially when the numbers are actually close together.

chilly brook
#

I love this iteration so much

#

And that's the worst part

#

Knowing that it's gone in 10.0

mighty valley
#

But feels like the game is due an overhaul... seems to be roughly every three expansions there's a big shift

chilly brook
#

On the bright side, you at least have a year to play this iteration of prot

vernal vale
#

My only hope for 10.0 is to being gladiator dps back

mighty valley
#

So I'm vaguely optimistic we won't go back to "now, but minus cool stuff"

mighty valley
#

(elden ring joke)

#

severely doubt they'll ever try prot dps again

median tulip
#

I don't think it's a coincidence that Warrior is feeling good again when for the first time since the end of BfA we have a working feedback loop

vernal vale
chilly brook
#

and this is the best one we've had tbh

limpid pawn
#

you mean like with banner?

#

and anger managment?

chilly brook
#

yea

#

banner gives rage

#

we spend rage

#

which in turn extends banner

#

and gives CDs faster

#

which makes banner even better

mighty valley
#

that plus AM and revenge giving SS procs all add up to a cool engine

chilly brook
#

TLDR, when the game actively rewards you for playing well it's fun

mighty valley
#

it does kind of mean prot is among the least intuitive tanks to pick up

#

which is weird for the historic "basic ass tank" spec

#

at least, not intuitive based on the questions we always get from new wars in here

median tulip
#

To be fair, Urh helps a lot

chilly brook
#

even if we didn't have urh the feedback loop is insane

#

and you can easily extend banner for the full CD and longer

median tulip
#

If you still have it up when you reuse it does it add onto the duration or just replace?

mighty valley
#

urh does make it more likely you can activate with dps who care about it

chilly brook
#

I was running heirmir so I had like no reason to press the button again unless DPS had CDs

mighty valley
#

i gotta sim marileth vs heirmir for me, just been defaulting to marileth

#

also heirmir has some unclear path choices

chilly brook
#

Mari is honestly the better option

vernal vale
#

Heirmir Sims higher foe me but it doesn't feel as clean to play.

craggy pilot
#

clean?

vernal vale
#

The dim is also only like 200 more dps

chilly brook
#

higher depsite 3p and 3e on marileth?

craggy pilot
#

can you feel a difference? 🤣

#

they seem quite identical

vernal vale
chilly brook
#

Cuz you'd probably sim either very close or higher with marileth with ashen jugg

vernal vale
#

Think bloodmallet Sims it higher as well.

#

Might just be a wonky Sim for some reason but that's beyond me.

chilly brook
#

Yea Marileth sims higher for me

#

by like 219

#

plus it's kinda a better well rounded soulbind

blazing condor
#

did a gambit where we went first boss directly with wo on first pull

#

is that even meta

vernal vale
#

Bloodmallet Sims heim higher as well.

#

Wonder why.

chilly brook
oblique garnet
#

246 shield

blazing condor
#

also is sin stained still dungeon bis or is gambit neck better cus vers

#

but with lower haste

chilly brook
#

that's just an old string

#

first dungeon I did dropped me a shield

#

🙂

blazing condor
#

Took me forever but ksm aquired 😎

#

Man am i a pog or what

chilly brook
#

tanks could

#

but you're already getting slapped

#

so why would you

#

assign DPS with huge defensives or immunes

#

you don't have paladins, rogues, hunters or mages in your group at all?

#

no shot you don't have any of those classes in your raid

oblique garnet
#

Why would you not soak it as a tank🤔

chilly brook
#

we're talking about the orb in p1

#

not the ones that need to be soaked after dying in the shadow phase

oblique garnet
#

Yeah

chilly brook
#

idk it makes like 100000% more sense to just put immune on it

oblique garnet
#

They dont do much damage

urban portal
#

that one actually doesnt do damage

#

in heroic

dapper coral
#

What is the big selling point of Marileth over Heirmir? I assume Kevin's +6% damage for 40sec largely

#

For DPS*

chilly brook
chrome falcon
#

soaking core was scary as fuck with low gear

chilly brook
#

You get 3p and 3e

chrome falcon
#

but now you can do it with an external or smth

chilly brook
#

Fleshcraft gives you buffs

#

I mean it’s kinda like what doesn’t Marileth do

chrome falcon
#

you take 5% less magic damage for most of the key

#

because fleshcraft passive from mechanical (urh) gives that

median tulip
#

Is there a list of Marileth's fleshcraft buffs?

distant crystal
chilly brook
#

Humanoid is up like 100% as well

#

It’s just good

distant crystal
#

yep, cause you're a humanoid* and i guess considered dead

#

lol

chilly brook
#

We are in the afterlife

#

Don’t even need to fleshcraft to get them either

#

Most of them you just get by walking over the body

distant crystal
#

you just need fleshcraft to be on cd

chilly brook
#

But the mastery one is applied every time you craft

distant crystal
#

when you're near a corpse

median tulip
vernal vale
distant crystal

vernal vale
median tulip
#

xD

urban portal
#

fun fact

vernal vale
#

yeah in 9.0 fleshcraft stopped you from blocking too if i remember correctly

median tulip
#

9.0 Flashcraft was pretty terribly designed

mighty valley
#

9.0 Banner was also so much weaker

median tulip
#

well and it was static

mighty valley
#

God the movespeed floor is such a quiet champion on the buff

#

Just cannot be slowed, ever, sorry

uncut notch
#

Whats the verdict on Emeni

#

Channeling fleshcraft while moving gets me hard

hollow hill
#

I don't think she's recommended at all

chilly brook
#

emeni bad

uncut notch
#

hate having to stand still

#

rip

chilly brook
#

emeni encourages you to full channel fleshcraft on CD

uncut notch
#

been using bonesmith and having a lot of fun

chilly brook
#

which kinda hurts

#

because that's time you're not spending rage

#

also kind trolly ability it pops off being healed

#

so like 60% of it just gets wasted

#

and she's just not better than Marileth

uncut notch
#

Loving the DR of banner

#

Excited to try it with Avatar 4pc

#

going to be so gooooooood

#

if you Str pot its a 50% flat DR hahah

chilly brook
#

banner has no DR

uncut notch
chilly brook
#

unless you're talking armor gain through strength from conduit

uncut notch
chilly brook
#

but that's kinda feelycraft and also not as good as you think

uncut notch
#

wat

chilly brook
#

since armor is affected by k value

#

and it only applies to melee/shoot and some abilities

uncut notch
#

hmm

#

Probably in my head then haha

chilly brook
#

Like banner absolutely makes you more tanky

uncut notch
#

My friend made me a death metal WA for when i pop it

#

and its just

chilly brook
#

but that has a lot to do with more mastery meaning more crit block as well as just the sheer influx of rage

chilly brook
#

when we're drowning in rage we're super tanky

hollow hill
#

can i have that WA? i'm curious about it lol

median tulip
#

I'm very much not optimised and with banner and the fleshcraft buff I have 65% crit block

mighty valley
#

armor is better than it seems, it mathematically has diminishing returns but the increase of Time Until Dead is pretty linear

tulip kelp
#

Is there any abilities you don't use as prot? Setting up bars now

mighty valley
#

whirlwind outside of v niche gimmick

vernal vale
#

whirlwind

mighty valley
#

hamstring is super rare

#

unless you pvp probably

vernal vale
#

i never actually find myself using hamstring in dungeons or raid anymore

mighty valley
#

devastate since we always run devastator... although I've left in on my bar all expansion in case we ever stop

tulip kelp
#

Yeah hamstring seems super shit now a days... I'm used to the 50% slow

#

Wait is it still 50? lol

mighty valley
#

we're just so mobile already and passively slowing everything a little with TC

vernal vale
#

if you really need to put some distance shockwave and leap are available

median tulip
#

hamstringing a purely melee mob and then charging something else is actually a good level of mitigation

balmy narwhal
#

Hey guys, I don't seem to have access to acherus discord for unknown reasons. But would you happen to know the answer to this question: For Rygelon, the active mitigation against corrupted strikes: is it just having bone shield up?

urban portal
#

You should use mytliple mitigations

#

Because the dot is based on how much unmitigated damage you take

#

Meaning rune tap

chilly brook
#

that's not how it works

#

it changes as soon as you target a M+ mob

#

it's not nearly that good

urban portal
#

Armor is fine

#

K value is not fine

median tulip
#

Huh. That's fun. Elegy of the Eternals will reconfigure to Mastery when banner increases the secondary stat above Haste

mighty valley
#

since it's not just level any more

uncut notch
chilly brook
# urban portal Armor is fine

I'm just making the point that DR from armor is not nearly as simple as just saying that "yo banner armor from strength is what's making me tanky"

brazen tusk
#

I think in layman's terms, it's how hard your face gets smacked in keys

uncut notch
#

Argh this is making me headscratch

#

I’m trying to dump mastery in favour of verse

#

But talk of critblock makes me feel like that’s a mistake

#

But from the conversation earlier I’m chasing the final 1% stat gains when gameplay changes will yield 20% gains

median tulip
#

No stats will ever save you from bad play

uncut notch
#

My Guildies have been poking me for low verse

#

But my stats are about the same as plka

#

% at least…

#

In terms of split anyway, about 15% verse, c40% mastery etc

cinder pasture
#

I've got 2% vers in prot

uncut notch
#

But obvs he’s way better than me

#

It makes me scratch my head watching him/sense take zero damage or at least it looks like that…

cinder pasture
#

I basically just equip highst ilvl, take whatever stats that is

median tulip
#

I don't even pay attention to Vers. I've got about 10% purely because it came on some Haste items

#

and yeah, tier first, then ilvl, then haste. You can shade away from ilvl on items that don't have PriStat

uncut notch
#

Got my 3/4 from lfr today so 100% getting 4 set on reset

#

Cannot wait

#

Should be able to sort 20s next week

#

Affix looks hilarious too - storming sanguine, cake walk…

median tulip
#

Gonna spend most of next week in Legion TBQH

urban portal
uncut notch
#

Doesn’t increase the challenge it just uses sliders to make things harder

urban portal
#

yeah basically

#

they dont want the damage number to go absurd

uncut notch
#

I find it so funny that like

#

You get okay at the game, time 10 keys comfortably

#

You do a bit of research, practice, and time 15s

#

You’re then upper percentile of players

#

Better than most

median tulip
#

over half of the playerbase never even sets foot in a Mythic 0

uncut notch
#

But to then build on that and become a 20+ player is just so much reading, theory, understanding and marginal gains

#

It’s unreal

mighty cairn
#

yeah it’s like learning tft

#

no cap

uncut notch
#

Tanking m+ is such a rush compared to “okay now you taunt”

woven lance
#

Is rallying cry on the gcd?

mighty valley
#

a lot of people aren't here for a difficult challenge with strangers and that's fine

uncut notch
#

All shouts are i think

mighty valley
#

take the cooldown off've battleshout please

#

it's only there for historical reasons

uncut notch
#

Demo off gcd too pls :3

mighty valley
#

god, reading back. we need to pay for a PSA to unbrainwash people about vers

uncut notch
#

A bonus to flat Dr is always going to be attractive

mighty valley
#

yeah, it's intuitive that it would be "the good tank stat" but that's just not reality

#

so when people are declined for "not enough vers" i lose my mind

uncut notch
#

It does work tho, the first sigil can be a fun defensive Cd as well as a bigdam button

#

But that 5 min cd man

#

I think it took me to about 15% DR from the verse spike

#

But suspect if you did the maths the 2.5 scales you could have used in that time will take it to the cleaners

mighty valley
#

But the sick execute window

ebon geyser

wow i just realize the raise your condits to 239 is not account bound...

waxen orbit
#

Very useful

ebon geyser

now i know what my mom feels

i feel m+ is more forced than raiding

#

like i love my raids, but m+ is a 🤮

dapper swift
#

Can somebody clarify this? For legendaries in pins just want to be sure im reading it right... legendary helm is bis with tier in the other slots right? Unity - Waist, later when you have all tier pieces then Head.

chrome falcon
#

ye

dapper swift
#

I dont see anybody with 4pc using it so just wanted to ask thanks!

mighty valley
#

at first you just use the first four tier pieces you get

latent pier
#

I haven't really had a reason to try it yet, but does intercepting the fixate on the third boss of necrotic work out, or do we just die?

#

if for whatever reason the person in question doesn't kite it or the hook fails.

chrome falcon
#

you tank 1 melee swing

#

then they die to the second

latent pier
#

excellent.

#

Trying out prot for first time.. 265 ilvl but my shield is 236 and I'm getting smashed lol

median tulip
#

You're 350ish block behind what a 265 shield would give you. However you probably aren't playing optimally either. Do you have 2nd legendary and tier?

tulip kelp
#

No tier but have 2nd legendary

median tulip
#

Which Cov?

tulip kelp
#

Kyrian

median tulip
#

What %age of melee hits are you blocking?

tulip kelp
#

Only trying to tank 15s and getting trucked

#

Is that mouseover on block? Says 29.55%

median tulip
#

No. I mean on your logs

brave stirrup
#

Is prot war the hardest tank to play optimally?

waxen orbit
#

Yes

#

In all forms of content

brave stirrup
#

And by optimally does that basically come out to being worse or equal to others that are much easier to play? Such as a dk?

waxen orbit
#

The best prot warrior will do less damage than the best BDK/bear/prot paladin/BrM monk if that's what you're asking

#

That's not doomsaying btw that's kinda just statistically true

brave stirrup
#

Not just damage but survivability and stuff

waxen orbit
#

Other tanks definitely are easier to play in terms of survivability, yeah

civic torrent
#

It has a higher skill floor, yes

waxen orbit
#

And they're beefier to most damage except physical

#

Not by a huge margin, but by a little

tulip kelp
#

@median tulip Can I access that through Details or gotta log and parse?

#

I'm just doing M+ right now lol

waxen orbit

Gotta log and parse

log and parse I think

Returning player and I have my warrior and dk about neck and neck with 245 ilvl double legendary and no tier for each. It’s so disheartening how much easier it is to play my dk when I want to play the war. I feel like I make waaaaay more mistakes and screw up juggling rage usage, SB, IP and basic positioning

ionic fern
#

Practice. 🙂

crystal turret
#

It’s crazy cuz I have the opposite effect. It’s so hard to play dk and warr just feels so comfortable.

urban portal
#

At least on warrior you know when you are dead

#

On dk you sometimes just get one shot

#

Tho you kinda know when you start running dry on runes and runic power

Played prot yesterday on jailer. The first 2 phases are really fun but the last one was kinda boring. No tank swap here right? But was a good experience to play as a tank. I play kyrian because of the mind control and spear. Normally you play necro as tank atm?

jagged pier
#

There is a tank swap

#

Its on chains

#

And last phase is great its just execute till the guy dies

#

Your number literally just goes up

dry spear
#

oh there is? lol we didnt swap :D

mighty valley
#

the chained people take damage when the tank takes damage

#

so you should swap and break the chains

hmm think i'll try Emeni in some 15's

#

How does leaping work exactly? Can I leap behind me without turning and facing that way? If I do leap behind me, will that turn my back to my enemies and thus leave me open to unblocked attacks?

strong forum
#

For like a split second

blazing condor
#

you can leap behind yourself but the animation will always have you "jump" with you facing the way you're going

#

but i doubt it has any serious impact on blocked hits cus its so fast like nom said

#

maybe like one auto in the back or smth

woven lance
#

Even if you're tanking like 10 mobs in m+?

strong forum
#

You're instantly moving very quickly

#

The chance to be hit in the back in those very few frames is minimal

#

You're more likely to die if you jump through the mobs

#

Than behind yourself

#

And more often than not are you on the move already anyway

#

So you're automatically getting hit by less mobs simultaneously

blazing condor
#

i mean if you're curious then go log some keys

#

and check

#

but its never been something i've had to think about

strong forum
#

Yeah it's not worth thinking about

sick sentinel
#

for dmg on gurdians would korrain or niya be better? or is kyrian the move

strong forum
#

First boss?

sick sentinel
#

yeah

strong forum
#

Uuuh... I'd say necro

jagged pier
#

the adds dont come in 5s

#

so koryan is kinda meh

#

but u'll do more damage as necro

#

its like 2 -3 target cleave at most

sick sentinel
#

ah ok

#

havn't lvled necro up in its renown yet so might just try go kyrian maybe

I don't play prot and I rarely take them since I feel double warr is pretty meh utility in m+ but

Are you guys blasting dps now?

Might be to do with mass aoe dungeons and revenge

yes they do

thats ST btw

#

4 set and jailer wep they do so much fucking damage if played correctly

most bdks cant play it to do that, but that doesnt mean im wrong

@jagged pier buddy, my friend protection channel bundle of positive energy that's naowh can't compare him with any of this dks out there

My bdk did like 3k more dps than me on pantheon last night

He got the aoe proc from HC jailer wep in last phase

I can't read bruh

U should know this by now

blazing condor

xeos didnt read but ur wrong

strong forum
#

Bdk is currently the strongest dps tank

#

Yes it's not easy to pump those numbers

#

But pwar is in the same boat, except our ceiling isn't as high as bdk

viral flume
#

But it is pretty easy to pump 10k ST on bdk

strong forum
#

Yes

#

But that's still normal dps for a tank

viral flume
#

I am definitely playing my warrior wrong then lol

strong forum
#

Just need tier

#

And there ya go

viral flume
#

Tru im at 3pc

#

On warrior.

strong forum
#

Just like bdk needs 4pc

#

To do 10k

#

So there's that balance, but to get to the 15k you need to be proper good and have jailer wep

#

And I wish every tank worked like that

#

Good medium performance, but really fucking high performance if played perfectly

#

But blizz doesn't agree with that philosophy

jagged pier
#

nome theres really not that many prots doing 10k dps on ST

#

theres like 6 of us

strong forum
#

Ya well

#

There's not that many pwars to begin with

#

So it evens out

viral flume
#

There's 10 total so it rounds out 🤣

strong forum
#

Like for every 10k dps pwar, you have 100 bad ones

#

Same with bdk

#

They have 100 bdks doing 10k, and 10000 that can't

#

(not that there's 10000 bdks to begin with)

#

But you get what I'm tryna say

blazing condor
#

my st kinda bad sadge

viral flume
#

I'd actually like to pump on my pwar

#

I run him on alt nights

blazing condor
#

But thats cus i have no tier copium

viral flume
#

And get memed on for playing pwar

strong forum
#

I'm content with my 6k at 250 ilvl and 0pc

#

4pc would give me another 2k+

#

20ilvl the other 2k

viral flume

I did normal last night, 83-85 parsed every fight

That's less than I parsed

Which isn't bad considering it was the first time trying to optimize damage

Also wednesday kinda poopy cus thats when you gotta slave all the weekly stuff (usually, not much to do this patch)

#

Yes xeos

sweet summit
#

there's no weekly slaving this patch tho

blazing condor
#

ye thats what im sayin

#

But in general

#

Meaning u either get people who have to play way much on wednesdays to do weekly + raid

chrome falcon
#

yeah but how can you survive not raiding on the day the raid comes out

blazing condor
#

Or people who dont do weekly stuff

#

Raiding just isnt all that

chrome falcon
#

incorrect

sweet summit
chrome falcon
sweet summit

i guess i see your point though but how much weekly stuff has there actually been that you need to do before raid

strong forum
#

Raiding on Wed is just cancer

#

Simple as

#

I like to come home after work, loot my vault, and prior to this patch, do my weekly shit in calm

#

Don't like to come home, open vault and head straight into raid

blazing condor
#

So much to do on reset so its better to portion out the weekly activites

#

Otherwise you got nothing to do rest of week

median tulip
#

my guild (EU) does Wednesdays. We once thought about moving it, but we came to the conclusion that doing the easy reclear part of the raid ASAP was a good idea, because if people had close vault choices they could potentially do the raid and get an alternative that would change the optimal vault choice for them

If playing Necro, is it worth macroing Last Stand into the Banner button?

No

#

Cuz banner can last longer than LS CD

#

Or you may want to use banner, but not LS

#

Aka saving for execute/lust

chrome falcon
#

yeah in raid fights i normally LS the pull and then execute

#

but macroing what is technically a defensive cooldown into your offensive CD is probably going to get you killed if you do it long enough

"defensive"

Still good to use defensively when you have nothing else or it's heavy barrage in m+

So I have 243 ilvl and playing with people with 4 sets and like 268 ilvl and a hunter is pretty much ripping aggro off me whenever misdirect falls off, i don't feel like am doing anything wrong DPS wise I charge Into pack, I thunderclap, use revenge and still lose it

#

Is it just more gear I need?

chrome falcon
#

halls IS bad

#

if you're THAT undegeared it'd probably be impossible to hold threat

#

ravager the pack before you charge in though to give yourself the best chance

#

if you ravager the pack on the pull you can open with SS, opening with TC is not ideal

#

you should at least open revenge since it actually does damage

#

but with a gear difference THAT huge i'm not sure how you can consistently hold threat
