They need to replace 'uses all weapons' with 'BiS mog farmlord'

#

then Ill be happy

#

yeah the fact that its only a 600 DPS loss without even being able to use revenge should indicate that the slam damage does in fact go up.

#

in theory

#

or rather, the # of slam procs

distant crystal
#

yeah you'd also gain the flat dmg from devestator i guess

oblique garnet
#

@patent osprey im gonna judge this key ZOOMEReyes

You can with an agi fist weapon though

#

yeah i remember doing some simming w/ folly & that waycrest fist

#

folly was so silly

#

P1ka gettin' slammed keksquad

neat harbor
#

finally did the sim, the proc rate is normalized on Devastator passive

#

81 casts with sword, 80 casts with dagger

#

😦

distant crystal
#

the slam procs?

neat harbor
#

ya

#

Honestly the reason we didn't see Rextroy using a dagger should have settled it then and there

distant crystal
#

well more procs wouldn't do anything there would it

neat harbor
#

If you cant trust that nerd to hack the game, who can you trust

distant crystal
#

he just hit em with the wam bam 1 shieldslam KO

neat harbor
#

or actually yeah it wouldnt, well in theory it MIGHT give you a Shield slam proc just as you hit 8 stacks of the tier set bonus

#

but yeah not that critical

hollow dove
#

What is a decent overall damage for 17-18's? I'm hitting between 7-8k with 4set and 265 ilvl

strong forum
#

That's like 4k too low

#

11-13k is what you should be doing

#

7-8k is last patch dmg

Smh update your game

tame jasper
#

so i need to pull even bigger I think

strong forum
#

It's not about pulling big

#

It's about executing your rotation

strong forum
#

And 9/10 it's just people not pressing enough buttons

#

13,1 CPM revenge, 11.2 SS

#

last patch this was fine, this not?

neat harbor
#

The WoWhead 9.2 guide says that Glory effect synergizes with Anger Management*, in what way?

#

Im sure Im just dense and dont see the interaction

#

sorry, anger management, not necro banner

strong forum
#

It's insane rage gains?

#

And thus you get more rage to feed into AM

#

Which leads to more avatars, which leads to more outburst procs

#

Which leads to more rage

#

Which leads to more Banner uptime

#

Which leads to more rage

neat harbor
#

ahh right, 4 rage/sec extended into high uptime

#

gotcha

#

strong forum
#

Your cpm of SS and TC are fine-ish

neat harbor
#

Geez man.. what kind of uptime are you seeing on Avatar Nome?

#

like 50-70%?

strong forum
#

60%+ is the achievable uptime

neat harbor
#

Right... insane

tame jasper
strong forum
#

@tame jasper your rage gen is thus slacking

#

Which means less dmg

tame jasper
#

woth low blocked hits

strong forum
#

In an 8min shorter streets, erga generated 18k rage

#

32min total

#

You on the other hand only generated 20k rage in a 40min key

I feel naked without tier now, lmao

#

@chilly brook grats, Im gonna try to LFR some

tame jasper
#

what's somehow logical if I hjave too less rage, but yeah I get the point

strong forum
#

You have 4pc

#

That should be plenty rage even if you're not using reprisal alot

tame jasper
#

So I have to force myself to get out and in more, regarless of the dps

strong forum
#

Effective reprisal usage is key, if that's what you're asking

tame jasper
chilly brook
#

what does dps have to do with that

#

just pull

strong forum
#

You also kinda underused spear and ravager

#

Which contributes further to less rage gain

chilly brook
#

tbh I don't care about my dps'd CDs

tame jasper
#

wild spirits and other "dont move the mobs you idiot"

chilly brook
#

I'm gonna continue to pull

strong forum
#

The mobs don't move if you play reprisal well

chilly brook
#

^

strong forum
#

Also

#

Erga had in his 32min key 123 outburst procs

#

That's roughly 40procs per 10min

#

You had only 139 outburst procs in 40min

#

Should've been closer to 150, ideally 160 at that point

tame jasper

#

I got 2pc yesterday and made WAs for that between bosses keks

tame jasper
#

even if this read somehow frustraating to get tell how bad am I, it somehow motivated me, but as of now Im somewhere in the "I know what to improve, but not yeat how"

strong forum
#

It's just small things adding up

#

That's how pwar always worked, but with 4pc it's a continuous marathon to fuel that rage engine

#

Raises the skill ceiling

#

Just keep it in the back of your mind to get more BestStat

tame jasper
#

and explains why I'm still at the 20/21 m+

strong forum
#

Well pushing keys is more like a discipline thing

#

Unless you have someone with a big key and you just keep rolling off on those

tame jasper
#

and always feels like getting carried by the dps (esp if comparing with our druid tank who does 16k+ overall in a m+ and runs 24)

strong forum
#

It's more like that druids are being carried

#

Because their borrowed powers are extremely easy to use and overtuned

#

Press incarn and thrash, GG you've now completed the guardian tutorial

#

Here's your 15k overall

tame jasper
#

ahm

#

Thank you @strong forum will try to improve

”Actually we have to press ironfur too dont say its easy!!!!”

#

Bro I just got through tanking a pug Anduin and the other tank was a warrior that refused to taunt 2nd intermission

median tulip

Pugs 😞

oblique garnet
#

Even if you play seismic you are fairly tanky

cinder nova
#

Dude was too busy trying to pad lining up a suboptimal spear.

#

I was dead for all of P3 and he still did 1K less and took 3K more damage per second.

cinder nova
#

Basically, Griff.

#

I checked his damage strat and it was TC top

#

Dude was busting his nut on TC outburst with EM on ghouls.

I was like ??? what is this literal noid thinking

proud fulcrum
#

how viable is to tank with war to get the weekly 15s with the signet of tormented kings? would you say necro or kyrian better? tyvm, just started wondering if I could

chilly brook
#

but you could do 15s without legendaries so

median tulip
#

I mean you can do it, but it's way suboptimal. Just make Reprisal.

chilly brook
#

291s are cheapo

#

market got flooded

proud fulcrum
#

I don't have 90k to spare but thank you for the advice.

chilly brook
#

90 wadu hek

median tulip
#

90k? What hellserver are you on?

proud fulcrum
#

It's what I had to pay for the signet. I'm on Sanguino, EU

chilly brook
median tulip
#

Think they're about 35k on EU-Draenor

chilly brook
#

unless you're on a dead server there's no shot your 291 legendary costs didn't crater

proud fulcrum
#

I'm on the most competitive raiding server of my language xD

chilly brook
#

honestly it's harder to get the cosmic flux than the 291 base item

#

if you're just starting

chilly brook
proud fulcrum
#

i have 13k of unused cosmic flux

#

best I could do is 235 "The Wall", and because I already have the cloak (someone mispriced it as 100g)

jagged pier
#

amature

chilly brook
#

I mean you could just craft a 235 reprisal

jagged pier
#

u can craft a 190 rep

#

u only want the effect

median tulip
#

Better yet ask your guild if anyone can make them, and buy the materials

#

Hi folks, trying to get my prot set up for keys now, are there are trinkets that are considered a "must"?

blazing condor

not really but Aegis will get you a long way

#

Scale / Codex are also good

I got a heroic one, is that still good?

blazing condor

yes

Noob question here : why does IP sometimes proc from Shield Slam ? thanks

blazing condor
#

it doesnt...?

chilly brook
merry quail

It does tho, I'm hitting a dummy for like 10min and sometimes it really does, might be a bug ?

chilly brook
#

if you have outburst

merry quail
#

y

chilly brook

if you have outburst you proc an IP when you spend it

either through shield slam or thunderclap

@oblique garnet

#

Any idea why logs and details will have different answers for my dps? Details says 9.7k but log says 8.5

#

So its not a small margin of error either

jagged pier
#

no

#

one is overall including running wait etc etc

#

the other is only time in combat

@jagged pier ok jakey analyze log for me thz

Ah so is the log then just total damage/dungeon time

That seems a terrible way of metricising that

Clear trash in the first room, go left, kill the guy on the bridge. Two dogs, the dino, the wolves and then you only need to clear the perimeter to get you from auction boss to mail boss and youre done for %

blazing condor

thats what i used to do

but that was like week 1

so idk if things have shifted

Also i am still a baby on log analysis

Does this mean i blocked 85%

Are people really out here doing zm dailies daily?

median tulip
blazing condor

Then u only need 10,000 okayge

jagged pier
#

imagine going into ZM everyday

median tulip
#

You may need to remake; once to get 4pc ASAP on a M+ item that can go to 272, and again as and when you get a 278 item to upgrade to

median tulip
#

also at some point flux will become tradable to alts, so again, making a stockpile now is good for the future

blazing condor
#

assuming you have alts

#

but yes

uncut notch
#

So ive taken your learnings team

#

My rage waste is still huge but getting better

#

Took 5.2k dps in an SD17 which is high i think

#

but self healed for 4k overall

#

so a 1.2k healer deficit

Will the tier set get nerfed?

Blocked hits was suspiciously low at 75% tho

Might be a dumb question, but do u throw the bastion spear at your feet or into the pack of enemies and then walk in?

Never. I put up banner and do 35K DPS smashing WW with Bonegrinder and First Sigil keks

How so

I only ask because of the new video that surfaced recently....

If it gets a nerf, it'll be in PVP, not overall.

cinder nova
#

This is old tech my man.

uncut notch
#

And you just mash the shit out of whirlwind

cinder nova
#

Like 9.1

#

Yeah.

uncut notch
#

a universally terrible spell

#

but with the 2x bonus

cinder nova
#

It hits hard with Bonegrinder going. Did a Mists where I hit with a 21K WW

#

I usually get 3-5 casts depending on what kind of rage I got

#

Higher casts in the window are usually from having Ava come off CD aligned with BG.

#

Or having an Outburst midway through

strong forum
#

outburst owns

cinder nova
#

Bonegrinder is entirely leaning into DPS and little else. It has its best returns now more than ever since we're playing more around Outburst than anything else, but you're pouring rage on a non-synergy spell that hits like a truck for cleave during BG uptime.

#

I wouldn't do it on any key where you're gonna be struggling to push.

#

But lowball keys like 15-20 ezpz

#

Just mash it

sweet summit
#

bg cope

strong forum
#

yey

#

only 81% blocked hits tho

#

F

uncut notch
#

what is that pls

#

Effective hitpoint reduction per second maybe?

strong forum
#

external healing required per second

#

aka what your healer healed you

uncut notch
#

Interesting

#

So a more valuable metric than DTPS

strong forum
#

its the only thing remotely close to evaluating defensive play from a tank

#

besides deeply analysing CD usage and so on

uncut notch
#

Interesting

#

so mine was 2k in my SD17

2k is still very little

uncut notch

Really? 😄

thats 2 hots

1k ehrps is 1 hot

#

I made a wa that pings at 75 rage

#

and i just dump into IP now

#

transformed my game honestly

strong forum
#

sure

uncut notch
#

Good tips from you guys thank you 🙂

#

The run was pretty smooth, just went a little sideways on the gauntlet with bolstering, I wanted to slow down the pulls but the dps kept pulling in more and more

#

We doubled pack 1 because i had shield wall etc and i wanted to split pull 2

#

mage pulled extra in and it was just tough to recover

blazing condor
#

Hate that shit

#

If youre good on time

#

Just play safe

#

No need to mongo pull so we can be even faster when we won’t +2 anyway

median tulip
#

which weakaura is it that gives you a % still needed when you kill particular bosses?

cinder nova
#

I just dump IP whenever I have enough rage to press Revenge and it together tbh

#

I'm just blazing through Outburst procs as fast as I can

#

Gotta crank that banner to 30s

blazing condor
median tulip
#

I can't seem to get the banner to last more than about 60% of its cooldown

blazing condor
#

Doesnt count in slimes after 3rd boss in PF for example

#

Better to just learn the breakpoints cus there arent that many. Like 80% in HOA, 81,5 in PF, 75% in SD etc

median tulip
#

It's SD that's making me think of this, because Blizz seem to have fuxed with the LOS to pull bats and stoneborn flyers on the gauntlet

blazing condor
#

As long as you get 75% before going down from 2nd boss its gg

#

If you wanna skip the pack before gauntlet that is

jagged pier
#

literally as simple as that

strong forum
#

i could manage it multiple times in the key i did just now to keep it up until its CD came back

brave stirrup
#

@uncut notch can I get that IP WA

median tulip
uncut notch
#

It also has a low rage indicator I might turn off

#

Because it’s fucking constantly going off

median tulip
#

Mine does the sword schwing noise at 75 Rage and calls me an idiot if I hit 100

chrome falcon
#

i understand if that wa helps you but it's not a good habit

#

there are plenty of situations where you're under 75 rage and still need to dump

#

like if you're going to charge, intervene, or outburst SS

median tulip
#

Agreed; but at 75 you always need to dump

chrome falcon
#

sure

#

but that doesnt mean it's a good habit

#

and the longer you play with a bad habit, the harder it will be to shake

median tulip
#

The "idiot" noise has definitely improved me

blazing condor
#

(not saying this is the case here) but i feel like a lot of people over-rely on WAs to tell them how to play and it ends up making them worse

#

but maybe im just a gatekeeper boomer who underuses WAs

median tulip
#

I don't really see that there's much difference between a bar that says "you have 75 rage" and a noise that says "you have 75 rage" TBQH

chrome falcon
#

because the bar also tells you when you have 74 rage

#

and 73

#

and all the other numbers too

#

if you're not able to constantly be aware of your rage at all times while tanking then that's a problem that you need to fix

median tulip
#

Well you do you, I'll stick with what works for me

chrome falcon
#

🤷‍♂️

#

point stands that if you wait for 75 rage to dump you ARE going to overcap with charge and outbursted SS

median tulip
#

point stands that the sound is a warning noise, not the sole thing I'm paying attention to

ebon geyser
ebon geyser
#

Yep lol

#

Specially when my buttons on my UI are all new placements

#

On guides we go with wowhead one or icy veins

#

I feel I need a better UI but I think is also I need make my scale bigger. I feel buttons are small

blazing condor
#

I would use icy veins

#

When i read that is

#

Coming back to the party after a 5 month break

#

What should I expect?

#

Oh great so nothings changed

#

What’s the competitive damage overalls for keys these days? For us

#

I like to run seismic and shoot for the moon, I assume double Lego and 4pc is a huge impact?

sweet summit
#

can comfortably do 15k

#

necro huge stonks with 4 set double lego too

#

super fun

dusky canopy
#

Oh hell yeah! I’m assuming that’s in 18s or less roughly while packs still die fairly quick?

ye

#

comfy 15k 🐸

#

bear before the last two nerfs was comfy 15k

dusky canopy
#

So last I was lurking in here I was seeing all the bad rap necro was getting we’re back on the necro train again?

distant crystal
#

i know prot can do 15k but idk that i'd call it comfy

dusky canopy
#

Or maybe that was just fury

sweet summit
#

that was defo fury

dusky canopy
#

Well sick I’ll have to fool around with necro then

median tulip
dusky canopy
#

So To translate that, seismic stonks

craggy pilot
#

which of these are interruptable? 🤔

#

Scribe and Shadowcore right?

median tulip
#

Yeah

dusky canopy
#

Def the one that killed you

#

😉

median tulip
#

You should use SR on those pulls as well, because the Bonestike is instant but shadow damage

craggy pilot
#

is Bonestrike supposed to hit that hard on +18? or did i not block? 😄

dusky canopy
#

WAIT A MINUTE

dusky canopy
#

Bro why am I reading that you took melee hits

craggy pilot
#

i alrdy did SR :<

dusky canopy
craggy pilot
#

wdym?

oblique garnet
craggy pilot
#

like am i not supposed to take Melee as tank? Pepexecute

oblique garnet
#

Block isnt dodge

radiant magnet
#

still get hit, just for less

dusky canopy
#

I know I know that joke flew over nbd

chrome falcon
#

strike and bonestrike only cast if you're in melee range

craggy pilot
#

i like the DH who had the 18 key says "no more warr tanks" and leaves

#

he did 2 interrupts on those 2 first packs in DOS

chrome falcon
#

at real key levels on fortified i'm never in melee range of those mobs without SR, SW, or DS up

craggy pilot
dusky canopy
#

Chances are the people who act like they can’t do a key because of their tank, are actually the weak link

craggy pilot
#

well obv they are 😄

#

some people in 18s are fucking dog

#

people being carried by their tier

radiant magnet
#

just like the ones screaming "PULL MOAR" are usually 3k dps

craggy pilot
#

i had a healer say "kick more" and he couldnt heal people on 2nd boss NW

#

he had less HPS than me Prot warr

#

how are people like this doing 17s?

cinder nova
#

Tbh seismic feels worse than rep in keys

dusky canopy
#

Seismic gang

cinder nova
#

It hobbles rage gen

ebon geyser
craggy pilot
#

if Misshapen Mirror was "60% spell reflect CD reduc" would it be good for DOS? 🤣

cinder nova
#

Your real dam is from banner uptime and veng

oblique garnet
dusky canopy
#

You really do not need 90% block uptime until like 22 and up and even then

chrome falcon
#

that ^ is not true

dusky canopy
#

Absolutely is true

cinder nova
#

Not about Block, it's about the rage

craggy pilot
#

oh shit ye maybe i should go Necro for DOS

chrome falcon
cinder nova
#

I can't even remember the last time I used rep for shield uptime

craggy pilot
#

the Scribe cast on DOS is it always on the tank?

chrome falcon
#

yes

#

well

#

it only casts if you're in melee range of it

#

so i would assume so

dusky canopy
#

I mean 2400 in s2 is enough xp to have an opinion.

craggy pilot
#

oh

#

wow didnt know that

craggy pilot
cinder nova
#

2500 is chud

#

You can get 2500 just filling your key roster

chrome falcon
#

hey man you're welcome to an opinion but if you go into a 20 and have bad block uptime on fortified you're going to fucking explode

dusky canopy
#

My opinion is you do not need reprisal until 22s or higher and even then it’s not absolutely necessary

cinder nova
#

Not about the block

#

It's about the rage

dusky canopy
#

You can have good block uptime without reprisal

median tulip
#

Reprisal is increased Rage gain

cinder nova
#

Banner and Vet Rep are your real engine

#

Rep feeds that

oblique garnet
#

I mean its not like you need reprisal to keep 100% uptime on banner in keys

#

As long as you chain

lofty widget
#

it sure helps tho

craggy pilot
#

how do we lust on Fortified DOS?

chrome falcon
#

i mean you're welcome to drop a log of you doing a 22 fortified without reprisal Brew like i'll wait but that just sounds like nonsense

dusky canopy
#

Theirs no denying that reprisal is superior defensively absolutely. But you don’t need it in 15-20 keys as the default option

chrome falcon
#

first pack in fortified

dusky canopy
cinder nova
#

Rep is superior offensively, Seismic is literally useless unless you're 3+ you can always use Rep and get 10-12k overalls in anything under a 20 comatose

chrome falcon
cinder nova
#

Like it's just inting unless you're hard carrying

craggy pilot
dusky canopy
#

Oh word I’m speaking from season 2 experience

chrome falcon
#

@craggy pilot you kill wo on the first pack with lust and run to ardenweald or hakkar

dusky canopy
#

They should know better

chrome falcon
#

well it is fortified

#

but ardenweald first is probably better for your lust timing

#

since you can lust that boss

cinder nova
#

I'm still hyped over being about to lock in Ashen to clown boss meters in keys

#

Bring a 4th DPS makes a huge diff

chrome falcon
#

if your group is smart they'll stop hitting mobs at 20% so you can build up stacks on trash it's a pretty big optimisation on packs of 2 or 3 mobs

ebon geyser
#

any needed WA for us

dusky canopy
#

Revenge casts tracker

#

300+

cinder nova
#

What's the breakdown here

chrome falcon
#

?

#

build up stacks on mob 1

#

while your team hits mob 2

cinder nova
#

Oh I see

chrome falcon
#

kill mob 2 with full stacks already

#

pretty great on first boss in top too

dusky canopy
#

I’m really intrigued by this necro talk I’m looking forward to trying it

cinder nova
#

Banner is the reason we can absolutely bust on damage

lofty widget
#

necro is great but really not needed outside big keys

dusky canopy
#

Banner on pull or what’s the min max?

cinder nova
#

It's freakishly tanky and it hits dumb hard

#

Banner on pull and you never let it drop

dusky canopy
#

How much uptime can we have on banner?

#

What do I shoot for?

cinder nova
#

100%

dusky canopy
#

Oh hell yeah!

fathom turtle
#

hey guys, can u tell me about the pros and cons of prot necro / kyr and how to play necro?

dusky canopy
#

It gives us strength increase right?

cinder nova
#

You use Veterans Repute to get the STR +23%

#

Yeah

dusky canopy
#

Oh hell yeah

cinder nova
#

The STR and mastery give mad survive and dam

#

It's pretty gross

chrome falcon
#

@fathom turtle you play necro by pressing banner and spending rage

#

necro is better for survivability and single target

fiery prism
#

If i just play 15-17s, you guys reckon i should get NL or Kyrian up first

fathom turtle
#

keeping it up by spending rage?

Alright lads I'm boarding my flight let's hope I don't get turned to salsa in a crash

chrome falcon

kyrian most dps necro if you just want to be braindead unkillable

fiery prism
#

all that mastery?

chrome falcon
#

22% strength

#

4 rage per second

#

408 mastery

fiery prism
#

i see

ebon geyser
#

imo fleshcraft should be instant

cinder nova
#

FC beasts for +2% STR

ebon geyser
#

what u mean no, that channel sucks

fathom turtle
#

is there a case for prot warris in m+ to cast fleshcraft in a pull?

cinder nova
#

Before the pull

#

You want the mastery for damage

#

I legit only push it for the buff not the absorb lol

chrome falcon
#

you think fleshcraft should be an instant 40% max hp shield on a 2 minute cooldown

#

fascinating

ebon geyser
#

but again if i was in any way of form part of the decisions in this game i would have had account bound rep and shit a long time ago

chrome falcon
#

just keep fleshcraft on cooldown

#

you should never really be full channelling it ideally

For NL, people in disc say to go Marileth but my sims(bunch of diff types) say to go Heirmir. Are the sims just bad for Heirmir or does Mari have something that makes it the way to go? Which SoulBind is best for keys for NL?

chrome falcon
#

preference

#

heirmir sims higher in theory

#

but marileth's tree is real nice

cinder nova
#

Kevin slaps and the first strike is nice

#

Otherwise the coating can be good for raid bosses

real thunder
#

thx

chrome falcon
#

coating is really good in everything

real thunder
#

I imagine the 100% uptime on banner is dungeon/chain pulling dependent. So maybe some dungeons NL might not be the way to go? Any dungeons you guys find that NL isn't the play in?

lofty widget
#

nah

chrome falcon
#

spires

real thunder
#

make sense

chrome falcon
#

trying to keep uptime in spires can be an absolute fucking nightmare

lofty widget
#

ive had 95 % uptime in spires

chrome falcon
#

but you can still play it

radiant magnet
#

agreed on spires, too many gaps. still high uptime tho

lofty widget
#

just dont use your banner right before you go flying and youre f ine

radiant magnet
#

yep, you can plan around it and mitigate most of the gaps

#

just not as much fun as chain pulling

chrome falcon
#

well you go flying (or wo skip) like 6 times, plus the downtime if you go left then right after the first boss

#

it's still good there but it is the worst dungeon for chaining uptime

lofty widget
#

sure, still wouldnt opt out of necro for spires

chrome falcon
#

yeah i just find myself always playing kyrian there anyway for obvious reasons

craggy pilot
#

how do you handle stealthlings in PF?

strong forum
#

prevent them from spawning in the first place

#

dont kick the envebbing

#

and chain stuns on the stealthlings cast

#

if they spawn, just aoe stun them

craggy pilot
#

wont everyone get rooted in the webbing?

strong forum
#

so?

#

the webbing does nothing

#

there is nothing to dodge there lol

craggy pilot
#

ah ok

chrome falcon
#

stealthings super easy to deal with you have shockwave and fear to either interrupt the spawn or the spiders themselves

strong forum
#

fear only hits up to 8* so be careful of individual ones leftover

chrome falcon
#

the amount of people who don't understand that you don't kick webbing even after you TELL them not to kick webbing

#

is a wild ride to go on

#

mob stuns itself for like 15 seconds it's so weird

distant crystal
#

letting them spawn is better for my overall tho

vernal vale
#

that plaguefall was so rough on interupts

frosty holly
#

Should have been in my NW i did on paladong tank. I had 74 interrupts. Number 2 had 16 ;_:

chrome falcon
#

well

#

paladin

frosty holly
#

Yea sure. But 74 vs 16 is a bit yikes

vernal vale
#

paladin gets auto interupts a lot

frosty holly
#

Even if i only counted my Rebuke interrupts i was way ahead

strong forum
#

well yeah

#

tanks are always mad ahead

frosty holly
#

If i dps or tank I'm pretty much always top interrupt. It's not on global so at least melee classes have nothing to lose

mh does prot warri get rage when receiving dmg? just tried necrolord on training dummy and didnt manage to get 100% uptime :/

strong forum
#

only 3 rage per 1sec max

vernal vale
#

I'm wasting way to much rage in dungeons compared to raid bosses. Need to manage that way better.

strong forum
#

so if you cant keep up banner 100% with 4pc then youre not playing correctly

vernal vale
#

I still don't have tier.

jagged pier
vernal vale
#

I can get about 50-60% on bosses if I'm playing well

strong forum
#

in this case its vs dummy jakey

#

as mentioned

fathom turtle
#

well so im doing something wrong on training dummy. 2nd try my banner went down and i had 1 min 10 secs left 😄

jagged pier
#

The highest ive hadin a dungeon is 86% i think on details some pulls i just didnt have it

strong forum
#

you could keep up banner for that long last patch

#

with only glory

vernal vale
#

The dungeon I just did had a 33% uptime without tier and I was playing bad wasting lots of rage.

strong forum
#

without tier and double leggo

#

are you charge weaving at all?

#

are you pressing revenge at all?

#

this is @fathom turtle

strong forum
#

without tier 33% uptime on banner is pretty normal in keys

vernal vale
#

I know I'm making tons of mistakes in dungeons right now. Overcapping rage, only 60% blocked hits.

strong forum
#

but holy man

#

youre overcapping rage like fucking crazy

#

press IP more lol

#

10% of all of your rage is wasted

vernal vale
#

Yeah, I need to clean it up a massive amount in dungeons.

#

I'm probably trying too hard on stacking things too BV, Avatar is a shitload or rage all at once.

fathom turtle
#

mh 50 seconds now xD

vernal vale
#

Which then leads to shield slam, and everything else overcapping

#

Probably go back to BSC until I'm managing rage better

vernal vale
#

I'm still learning to read dungeon logs as closely

strong forum
#

Haven't looked too closely tbh

#

But around 12cpm of SS is good in keys

#

And revenge anything between 10 and 17 cpm

This is my mists I just did a few hours ago

With 2pc as necro

#

So smth along those lines is what you're looking for

#

I did waste a good bit of rage aswell, but was my first key with 2pc and necro so not too used to it

vernal vale
#

Thanks again. Looks like I should be doubling my ignore pain and I'm just a bit shy on my shield block usage

strong forum
#

If you're playing necro you'll need to pump alot into IP yes

vernal vale
#

I'm working on getting a feel for it despite not having tier because I find it tons of fun and I know tier is only going to make it better.

strong forum
#

Without tier I'd just play kyrian

#

You need that extra rage gain from tier to make necro shine

vernal vale
#

Yeah, I normaly play night fae in dungeons when im pushing keys

#

I like AA for a group interupt

warped thorn
#

do you need 4pc for necro>kyrian

jagged pier
#

2pc

vernal vale
warped thorn
#

does the ip from outburst add to banner duration

vernal vale
#

Though as Nomeratur said it wants tier to really shine in necro.

#

hmm someone else tried pelagos in gambit ? i forgot to switch to mika and it was pretty good

#

the dmg reduction etc...

#

and mastery

#

we talk about mika a lot but forget about our buddy pelagos

scenic mural
#

Bc miks tree is great, bunch of haste, shorter spear cd, pelagos is meh

chrome falcon
#

nothing pelagos does really matters because it's not 20 second CDR on spear

pallid musk
#

I got 99% banner uptime w Represial on boss but there a few boss with downtime can lead you lose Glory

median tulip
#

Pelagos is ok for single-target fights where Mika doesn't offer as much

pallid musk
#

Yes 4pc

#

I think i got some record with 1 million boss dps / 7-8k with glory/ Represial (2k came from execute)

#

In 16 keys

chrome falcon
#

right but you're already not playing kyrian on single target fights anyway

pallid musk
#

Yes. Go necro for singletarget. It shrine

severe grotto
#

Yo, im new to prot, whats my basic rotation in keys?:) what do i not use at all and spam?

chrome falcon
#

there is no rotation just press shield slam and when shield slam is down press revenge/thunderclap until shield slam comes back up

#

then continue pressing shield slam

severe grotto
#

alright, execute off bar?

chrome falcon
#

nope

#

execute hits like a truck

severe grotto
#

o.O

chrome falcon
#

it literally hits harder than arms execute

median tulip
#

It's more priorities than rotation. You're fishing for Shield Slam resets.

chrome falcon
#

and we have more rage to spam it with

#

and it resets shield slam

median tulip
#

Avatar ASAP

severe grotto
#

what about ignore pain?

chrome falcon
#

what about it

severe grotto
#

or i just take it like a man

#

do i use it often/not at all/depends

chrome falcon
#

press it to spend rage

#

literally prot warrior comes down to 2 things

#
  1. have shield block up when you're being meleed as much as possible
#
  1. generate rage, spend rage
#

you're never going to spend all your rage on just revenge and shield block so put your excess into ignore pain especially when you're taking damage

median tulip
#

Once you get to the double legendary/4pc Tier/Necro build, you will have so much Rage that you dump to ignore pain because you literally can't spend it all any other way

chrome falcon
#

i believe that even the sim bots physically cannot avoid overcapping with last stand up

#

so yeah when you're full build there's a lot of rage to spend

severe grotto
#

alllrighty

#

ill try it thanks:)

median tulip
#

This is another reason we use Execute; what else are you gonna spend it on?

chrome falcon
#

i've managed to SOMEWHAT consistently reproduce that outburst bug where it's consume and doesn't do anything

chilly brook
#

these back to back outbursts are crazy with 4p

chrome falcon
#

it seems to only happen to me if i press shield slam and literally miliseconds later i press and IP that procs outburst

#

which is very weird

median tulip
chrome falcon
#

tried it 10 times and the avatar outburst has worked 10 times

#

tried it by proccing outburst via 8 stacks and it bugged 4 times

severe grotto
#

hmmm seems like i should track outburst?

chrome falcon
#

track seeing red

#

so you know when outburst is coming

#

and obviously outburst as well

#

but if you're only tracking outburst you're missing out on important info

median tulip
#

I've got one that tracks seeing red, lights up at 7 stacks as a warning, and changes to the Outburst icon when it rolls over

chrome falcon
#

the tracker in the pins shows both seeing red and outburst

chrome falcon
#

yeah it's important to know both pieces of info

chilly brook
#

there are times when I'm with an outburst and 7 stacks

chrome falcon
#

so you don't accidentally throw away an outburst

#

(i have never done this btw please don't check my logs 🙂 )

chilly brook
#

which means if I convert to an outburst I lose the first one

chilly brook
#

:peeponervous

chrome falcon
#

it's annoying because sometimes i'm 60 rage and 6 stacks seeing red+outburst

#

and i'm like

#

do i need to IP to avoid an overcap and risk wasting outburst

#

(this is when the 5 stacks seeing red + IP = outburst bug tilts the fuck out of me)

chilly brook
#

I averaged 5 outbursts a minute in this mists

#

🙂

#

and that's counting downtime

chrome falcon

Yeah you can't solo ghuun

strong forum
#

Mythic one is bis cuz it's the hardest shield to get in the game

Until they make him soloable

chrome falcon
#

unironically probably is one of the least obtained shields in the game yeah

because you need like 5 or 6 people for it on mythic with the MCs

strong forum

Aswell as the orb runners

chrome falcon

yep

Don't forget you need 4 people per rotation, so 12 + tank(s)

Is gambit trinket comparable to old warrior soul for haste ?
