I've saved a lot of M+ gear and inflated it to 272 for CC fodder explicitly

Any good items from legion time walking for prot?

#

faulty countermeasure is good ST

cinder nova
#

Is it?

#

How is it vs Sack/Phial

neat harbor
#

just got a duplicate tier hands from Lihuvivuvium

#

yaaaay

#

traded to fury warr

cinder nova
#

Ehhh... bloodmallet

dusky canopy
#

yeah i havent tried it myself i know bloodmallet can be kinda meh

#

the dk guys were ranting and raving about it the other day when i was lurking over there

cinder nova
#

DK has a pretty different idea of what makes good trinkets tbh. Try simming it

oblique garnet
#

Faulty is good

shell shale
#

Hit good on my buddies prot war when tanking desausage

cinder nova
#

That's words

dusky canopy

#

How does it fare vs sack/phial/sigil for parsing though

shell shale
#

More data required

cinder nova
#

Bwomp

#

Wait just S I M

#

I can't, I'm on my phone in Maui

shell shale
#

His simmed higher by 200 DPS on his. I'm also stuck on phone away from home.

cinder nova
#

Hmmmm

#

Might have to farm

ocean yoke
#

im not sure what that sentence meant but fuck yeah get it dude i think

oblique garnet
#

If you want parse trinkets sigil probably best

dusky canopy
#

no way really

ocean yoke
#

sigil does feel a bit lame only having one cast if your raid is quick

#

may still be top but eh

#

ive been using it still but i also have been unlucky with dps trinkets

oblique garnet
#

Idk how the apl is if it holds sigil till execute or nah

dusky canopy
#

channeling flesh craft mid fight feels awful

ocean yoke
cinder nova
#

Nothing like doing 47k Executes Target

urban portal
#

since you wouldnt know how long until execute comes

#

guess you do in a sim

#

but thats kinda cheating

oblique garnet
#

Why wouldnt you know when execute is coming upπŸ€”

#

Oh you mean if you only use sigil once

urban portal
#

like if an execute comes in around 2-2.5 minutes

oblique garnet
#

Yeah idk about short fights

urban portal
#

or osmething like that

#

or yeah that too

#

i would make it something like this

#

cast if fight time remains>5

#

else cast if execute

#

so you dont lose a use

#

thats my logic

cinder nova
#

Our farm clears are almost always sub 5

enhance was 2900 and killed the slime before platform

9/10 the tank gets blamed when its usually another persons issue

sacred timber
#

like how do you have that io and dont know not to kill that slime before it gets to boss?

oblique garnet
#

You dont really need it for boss tho

#

Its nice but absolutely not needed

sacred timber
#

why kill before?

#

especially right after the door?

oblique garnet

Well yeah thats big dumb xd

I'm honestly not convinced that slime trick is worth the time TBH. Unless you have a DK

hey, i'm new here. ^^
I just wanted to ask which trinkets are good for us. I just read that someone gave away the scale. currently i use the codex and the scale in m+

tame jasper
blazing condor
tame jasper
#

In high keys I use Fatescriper 2nd life and aegis, in progress raids i switch between scale or aegis depending on boss

shell sand
cold zealot
#

all 3 items at 272 equipped alread... chest can be in mythic raidvault at 285 from this week onwards...
im inclined to pick the neck

shell sand
blazing condor
# shell sand M+ 20 keys intime xD And mythic raid

for m+ scale + codex is pretty good and i'd run that if you couldnt find a way to get 252 aegis (from previous raid)
for raid you don't need defensives that much and usually you run Phial (from PF) and Sack (from taz) for the damage

#

but if you need the defensives in raid too for whatever reason then your defensive trinkets you already got are fine

shell sand
strong forum
#

Aegis, phial, Sack, ows, scale

#

Codex will be good in ultra keys

#

Like 26+++

#

All of the new raid trinkets are shit

tame jasper
strong forum
#

Codex is also extremely good against rygelon and the jailer

#

Cuz your dtps is absolutely massive on those bosses

tardy sequoia
#

Ok so, the shield is a direct upgrade, cause I still've got a 252

#

but the gauntlets are a higher ilvl upgrade, what should I do?

amber herald
#

woop almost bis

strong forum
cold zealot
strong forum
#

Gloves you can't get on 275+ other than vault or mythic raid

tardy sequoia
#

so I should take shield and upgrade it with valor?

strong forum
#

No

#

Take the gloves and get a shield from m+

tardy sequoia
#

ahhhh i got it πŸ˜…

#

ok thx

#

also should i swap my BiS rings for a ring with higher ilvl?

blazing condor
#

with only a 10 ilvl difference i wouldnt throw away stitchflesh

jagged pier
blazing condor
#

stitch + death god

tardy sequoia
#

that's a lotta haste

blazing condor
#

yes xeos

tardy sequoia
jagged pier
#

no

#

but im just saying its easy to say get a shield from m+

#

when if u dont have a funnel group it really is just RNG

blazing condor
#

i mean not like the DGs you need to farm for a shield are that bad

#

its like mists + nw

#

or top

#

shits fast

jagged pier
#

i did 6 mists last week got 1 piece of loot

#

wasnt the shield

blazing condor
#

f

tardy sequoia
#

but the best one is mordretha's, right?

blazing condor
#

ye

#

playing with 2p actually is fun pog

#

sucks tho when you got SS cd rolling and outburst up and you cant press tc

median tulip
#

That's when you go Revenge fishing for a reset

tardy sequoia
#

Can someone explain me why SS is always the priority in M+ as well, even though it’s AoE heavy?

jagged pier
#

more rage

#

and more damage

#

as its SS damage + x2 revenges

#

which is more damage than 1 empowered TC

tardy sequoia
#

Well

#

Very clear ^^

blazing condor
#

besides "just spend rage" is there any tips to perma-banner like using LS for rage gen or not using something etc? i can just about keep banner up but that shit is not that efficient rn

jagged pier
#

i usually use LS on pull

#

for a buffer

ionic fern
#

++

blazing condor
#

yeah i did that too and found it p nice

jagged pier
#

but that usually means this is a my pull to not over capp

LS -> charge -> Banner -> IP -IP -demo - IP -IP - avatar -> SS - IP - ip - SS

#

something like that

#

on ST anyway

blazing condor
#

peepostudy thank u

tardy sequoia
#

And in AoE?

jagged pier
#

spam

#

a lot of ip and revenge

#

and pray u dont over cap

blazing condor
#

banner uptime would stay the same if you only revenged every gcd right

#

ish

jagged pier
#

nah

#

its less

blazing condor
#

how much rage is it for glory?

jagged pier
#

u wont spend rage as fast

blazing condor

Which enchant do you guys use on your wep, sinful or celestial?

lyric glen
#

Is there anyone who done a spreadsheet, on what pieces legendaries gives you the best stats, the base stats outcome. is it only headpiece that is the best stat outcome? Whats the piece after (got a headpiece that I made a tier helm so now I cant use my legendary helm that I use for keys in headslot, and it gives heck ofalot of dps in that slot) This one is by FAR great for a warrior tank in m+ that dps it gives is sick:)

#

But where should I put it after when I now got a tier 278 headpiece....

dawn canyon
#

Helm is good if u have all 5

#

Best actually

lyric glen
#

yeah I use this helm in all m+.. people look strange on me , until they see my dps numbers as tank:) stuff melts awesome stuff πŸ˜›

#

well I have had so nice rng drops for tier pieces.. (not) I guess I will have to craft my own ones since it never seem to drop, I have a normal hand and normal leg piece atm and that tier 278 headpiece now.

#

But is there any spreadsheet that could give stat base from other slots?.

hard vessel
#

Aren't gloves really good too? Tier gloves have no haste on it I think

lyric glen
#

crit /mastery

hard vessel
#

Ye that's why maybe craft unity on gloves instead of helmet? :)

lyric glen
#

well I have unity on waist atm

#

it was not the unity I wanted to have it was the other lego.. scroll up

hard vessel
#

Ah I see just thought why would use this legendary if you can use reprical... OK more dmg

blazing condor
#

seismic is uber fun if you only do weeklies

lyric glen
#

I have reprisal too but that helm is sick awesome:)

#

doing 25-30 k is awesome..:P

west walrus
#

I may be wrong but you should be able to craft 285 ilvl tier set gloves from Rygelon's gloves

blazing condor
#

shoulders and boots give the same amount of stats

lyric glen
#

the cataclyst can craft most gear into raiding gear, you can change stats on waist, wrists and cloak too. but it gives you the raid stats on them. hmm but is thos ehands tier as 285? then I will see later on if thats possible:) (if I ever see a hand piece)

blazing condor
#

if you wanna craft seismic anywhere else

lyric glen
#

shoulders and boost are much lower stat wise isnt it? about 20 stats lower hmm question is how much it would change in outcome

blazing condor
#

well eventually, granted you got all tier pieces, you wanna put unity on helm for max stat budget

#

then seismic is gonna have to be on either feet or shoulders

#

and there just pick what is most appropriate for you

lyric glen
#

yeah I know.. everything should be on helm.. πŸ˜›

if I have all 5 set pieces would it be better to turn chest or legs into a legendary?

guys, 226 Aegis vs 259 Scale? πŸ€”

That's cutting it close

craggy pilot

i have 272 sac 272 phial

#

and 226 aegis 259 scale

#

which 2 should i use? πŸ˜„

ionic fern
#

Okay, this is super secret so don't tell anyone:
1)Think of the scenarios where you are using the trinkets..AoE or ST
2)Check the numbers on the trinkets
3)Bigger number vs the target count > smaller number vs the target count.

celest nacelle

Morning chaps. Should I replace my horrible 236 weapon with this, or replace my 249 shoulders with the mythic tier and then catalyst something to give me 2 piece?

strong forum
#

Oof

#

That's a rough fucking choice

celest nacelle
#

Aye 😦

strong forum
#

For personal enjoyment I'd say go for 2pc right away.
The longerterm option would be pick weapon since you can craft tier now and will have 4pc in max 4 weeks anyway

west walrus
#

I would say, pick the weapon and craft tier. Wait for another opinion ^^

strong forum
#

Or hold off on doing either, do the normal/hc raid, some lfr bosses and see with how many, if any, pieces you end up with

Fuck me, so banner falls off after 15s regardless of how long you keep it up for (on your allies)

Hello everyone! Is there a weakaura that warns you when unblockable damage by shield block is coming? I really dont know when to pop ignore pain so i spam it and waste rage..

strong forum
#

You use ignore pain primarily to not waste (cap) rage

#

When you're playing optimally you should very often reach rage cap and thus need to press ignore pain to not overcap on rage

#

And no, there's no such weak aura

My general tip is "if it's a swing with a weapon or a shot with a bow/gun - it's blockable"

#

That already takes care of 90%+ of all attacks

#

Same with the name of an ability, if its anything like a hit, smash, slash w/e its probably blockable

blazing condor
#

ok holy shit

#

this is fun asf

#

and playing in m+ perma banner is fast fun and kinda easy

hard vessel
jagged pier
#

not really

blazing condor
#

pressing IP won't really be the difference between living or dying

#

youre stalling out like 1 auto

#

but obviously its nice to have IP up if it doesnt compromise something else

strong forum
#

You'd rather press revenge even in big pulls

hard vessel
#

Wait these 10-12k HPs absorbs doesn't matter for living?

strong forum
#

They come naturally from playing correctly

#

Not by spamming IP

jagged pier
#

thats like 1 melee worth of damage in high keys

#

great shield there

strong forum
#

1 IP cast is like 10k

#

Bit more if you have ilvl + banner up

#

You can't press IP often enough for it to matter

hard vessel
#

But if you never press IP in a dangerous pull

strong forum
#

Nobody said anything about never

jagged pier
#

i used to do 19s last season with like 20 IP casts total

#

u barely have to use it

strong forum
#

If you play optimally, you will naturally have high uptime on IP

#

I have ~75%+ IP uptime with 2pc, solely to prevent overcapping

hard vessel
#

OK i do 21 and 22 with no tier and I get like 200+ IP presses in a dungeon with 50% uptime

strong forum
#

50% uptime without tier is high

#

I usually had 35%

hard vessel
#

Yeah I have 40% haste

#

And 273 ilvl

strong forum
#

And I use IP alot more than jakey

#

Cuz im not greedy enough

jagged pier
#

okay i use it alot now

#

i did say last season

strong forum
#

Cuz necro

blazing condor
#

IP pre s3: 😠
IP s3: πŸ™‚

strong forum
#

Necro + tier is absurd rage gen

#

Which means very high IP usage

hard vessel
#

Ye necro alone is giga smashing buttons to keep banner

strong forum
#

In a 22min key I already had 19k rage gen

#

With only 2pc

#

And not playing perfectly

#

With 4pc I can defo get over the 1k rage per min

hard vessel
#

But IP really helps living

#

There is no way it doesn't

#

OK I mean dropping less, not saving your 1% hp ass but it's helping you to not drop

sick sentinel
#

tanks all BattleShout

strong forum
#

IP isn't terrible, but gotta find a healthy balance between using revenge and IP

#

Cuz just IP'ing isn't gonna make you tanky, it actually does the opposite

#

Since revenge means more SS resets which means more rage and so on

Hey I have unity on helmet

tardy sequoia
#

guys i've got a bit of a question, ive got the cosmic flux to craft 2 set pieces, even if they are 252

#

should i craft them?

chrome falcon
#

You can only do 1 per week

#

But yes tier set is good

tardy sequoia
#

so even if one?

#

is it worth?

strong forum
#

πŸ‘€

chrome falcon
#

Wdym worth

#

Cosmic flux isn’t used for anything else

tardy sequoia
#

i mean should i wait for higher ilvl?

chrome falcon
#

If you don’t have access to higher ilvl gear then yes make your tier set

#

Well I don’t know what content you’re doing

tardy sequoia
#

is it wasted cosmic flux right now?

strong forum
#

you can upgrade the m+ crafted tierset with valor

chrome falcon
#

I don’t know, are you doing 15s and raiding?

strong forum
#

and cosmic flux isnt wasted cuz its not used for ANYTHING ELSE

chrome falcon
#

^

tardy sequoia
#

ive got a piece of gear who is 275 but is not upgradeable

strong forum
#

cuz 272 is max

tardy sequoia
#

i thought 278 was the maximum

strong forum
#

272 is max upgrade

tardy sequoia
#

so it will take the mythic appearance of the set?

strong forum
#

only if you upgrade a 278 to tier

tardy sequoia
#

then how do I get 278?

strong forum
#

Vault

ebon geyser
chrome falcon
#

Mythic raid or 15 from vault

tardy sequoia
#

i think im stupid cuz i don't understand

#

if the maximum upgrade is 272 and mythic raiding or 15 vault gives you a 278

#

why is this 275?

strong forum
#

You can upgrade anything lower than 272 up to 272

#

It's 275 cuz you didn't do a +15 key

#

Only a +14

#

Or +13

ebon geyser
#

I realized I have no valor oof

median tulip
tardy sequoia
#

ahhhhh

#

so basically only a +15 or higher from the vault gives a 278

#

once a week (or mythic raiding)

median tulip
#

Correct

tardy sequoia
#

ah that's a bummer

#

well i think i'd craft a gauntlet with a heroic appearance

#

(if you think it's not a waste cuz eventually i will recraft/replace it with 278)

median tulip
#

Getting declined for +5 VotW because I don't have a legion mythic rating... what, you want me to actually timewalk now

vernal vale
tardy sequoia
#

just a quick question

#

basically i can craft a whole mythic set just by doing 15s and getting great vault items with creation catalyst?

strong forum
#

Yes

tardy sequoia
#

that's uber cool

ebon geyser
tardy sequoia
#

i thought only set items

ebon geyser
median tulip
#

Remember that the actu8al Mythic Raid gear is 285 for 4 pieces

chrome falcon
#

oh baby

ebon geyser
#

But we all know raiding is far superior that m+

tardy sequoia
#

that's uneggscusable

tardy sequoia
#

next week I should really start doing +15s, I already lost two months cuz I started playing again last week

ebon geyser
#

I need to baby step my way to 15 on my monk and warrior

cinder pasture
#

I got my 4set deswind

vernal vale
ebon geyser
vernal vale
#

Just gotta find a group that's not being jerks about wanting tier and stupid high rating.

chrome falcon
#

26 ilvl upgrade on shoulders and legs just for waking up this morning

#

pretty sweet

ebon geyser
vernal vale
sacred timber
#

@chrome falcon I got it down to 5% but I was at 62 CPM

chrome falcon
#

i wouldn't look at CPM as a wildly valuable metric in a vacuum

#

our CPM should be high but it becomes that way as a product of doing other stuff correctly

sacred timber
#

SD is also rough this week

#

I was 9 minutes under getting to Kaal in a +19 and we wiped with 4 minutes left and the guy just leaves (we went thru 3 brez's and still only had 3 people standing in the last 5% and they died at 1.5%)

#

Then I ran my +18 back and we had our fury warrior die to second boss on pull all three times....

#

Sad also cause my lowest IO is SD

chrome falcon
#

anyone asking for actual legion experience to get into these timewalking keys on +15 is a fucking subhuman

#

honestly

#

insanity

jagged pier
#

just have played in legion

chrome falcon
#

just go play on a private server for a few months to train up

dawn canyon
#

There's no shot i dont time me 15 cos, right? copium

jagged pier
#

legion tm was a joke last time

vernal vale
#

I hate pugs for that reason

#

Unreasonable expectations

chrome falcon
#

i mean i'm not mad for myself, i did these keys on like 24 last time

#

which is why i know that asking for experience for them

#

is ridiculous

#

they're not hard

median tulip
#

I don't know the routes, but the tanking in them doesn't seem particularly hard

vernal vale
median tulip
#

I don't understand this Court of the Star minigame

jagged pier
#

its not hard

#

find the demon

median tulip
#

Someone had an addon for it

vernal vale
jagged pier
#

its really not that hard y u talk to the ppl they tell what to look for

#

or just a DH

#

or a paladin with the artifact tmog'd

distant crystal
#

someone says "i see Jakey"

#

you look at Jakey, if you see a demon, kill him

#

if you don't see a demon, look at the guy who said i see Jakey, if you see a demon, kill him :p

#

the vote weakaura lets you do it without voice but it's not really needed

#

oh shit

jagged pier
#

your talking about a different thing

distant crystal
#

court of stars not lords of dread lol

orchid frigate
#

why does my warrior shifts to yellow now and then? πŸ˜•

#

aah

#

thanks!

distant crystal
#

i would hope not

median tulip
#

and because, in theory, you can get 285 on all tier pieces except head

#

cost of a socket barely registers either, TBH

distant crystal
#

feel like i'd rather a crapton of crit over a craptop of mastery

median tulip
#

IDK about that; With banner and solvent I already have a craptop of Mastery, and you know what? Crit blocking is great

#

as is the 15k Ignore Pains

urban portal
#

Secondary stats don't matter man

#

It's very minor

#

The fact that head can't be 285 ilvl makes it hard to recommend

#

And the socket is the icing on the cake

#

What are you suggesting to craft it on again?

#

I just got here

#

Also 40k is a lot, literally a McDonald's meal

median tulip
#

I mean, if you need head to make 4 set, put it elsewhere. Getting 4 set is important. But If you ask "what's best?" the answer is gonna be head

urban portal
#

^

#

Wrist is the recommendation for offspecs

#

If you play dps then wrist is the way

#

If everything is 278 but you don't have access to mythic last 3 gear

median tulip
#

Then still Head, because free socket

urban portal
#

Is what you are saying?

#

Then yeah head

#

Socket on head beats out extra stats on legs

#

Unless you go even further and say you are willing to take tokens from vault to put in sockets

#

Why wouldn't you catalyst a 278 shoulder?

#

I'm assuming you have alternative 278 gear ready to go then

#

Honestly once a week is kinda plenty, I spent my catalyst on 272 this week

median tulip
#

I pulled 278 shoulders out of the vault and immediately threw them into the catalyst to make my 4set

vernal vale
#

I'm waiting until after raid to grab my vault. I only have 1p

#

So depending on what drops I could potentially have 4set.

#

Shoulders are in vault. So that makes 2 piece no matter what.

#

Plus catalyst puts me at 3

chilly brook
vernal vale
#

However if I take shoulders and then that's the only drop I get then I'm missing out on a 278 I could catalyst.

chilly brook
#

I think in the long run socketing tier helm>recrafting unity on helm

#

But that’s just me

urban portal
#

I just pretend I got a heroic lords drop

vernal vale
#

Besides at this point it's not like waiting until after this weeks raid will actually hurt.

brave stirrup
#

it scale trinket good for prot wars?

vernal vale
urban portal
#

I thought he said scars

#

I was like yo

vernal vale
#

I did the same thing and then reread.

brave stirrup
#

why does the bells of endless feast suck so damn bad

#

is it broken?

urban portal
#

It's only good on st

vernal vale
#

Raid trinkets are really bad. I've been watching the proc rate on protoforge that our pally has and it's so low. Plus it never happens when needed

urban portal
#

Dual wield doesn't affect anything

#

It's ppm

#

Normalized for all specs

#

Yeah

#

But the rate at which you get stacks is normalizrf

#

Normalized

median tulip
#

The problem with bells is that its stacks build on the target, not on the user

#

So any time that your are frequently hitting new targets, it's a waste of time

urban portal
#

Imagine the boss goes immune on a pop

#

Or fight is over before you hit the next pop

#

Huge dps loss

median tulip
#

When you are engaged on a single target, with no target switching, for extended periods... then it's merely mediocre

urban portal
#

And you really wish you had sack

median tulip
#

There are a large number of trinkets I would equip in preference to Bells

zealous ore
#

Any decent trinkets from Legion muh pluh?

blazing condor
#

got mount from gambit

#

gaming

urban portal
#

Hopefully it's not the garuanteed mount

blazing condor
#

nah the 2% one

distant crystal
#

think you can only get the gauranteed from 0

#

hardmode run

vernal vale
zealous ore
#

For keys

jagged pier
#

yer countermeasure

wild hemlock
zealous ore
brave stirrup
#

how much do you big boys execute for when it crits?

urban portal
zealous ore
ebon geyser
#

Raid parsing> surv

urban portal
#

But you get much more executes

brave stirrup
#

makes sense

jagged pier
#

i mean i wear sack and phial in keys

#

because its more damage

#

faulty is more damage than ither of them

#

so

#

🀷

ebon geyser
#

Phial I haven't seen that trinket at all and when I see it goes to someone else

zealous ore
ebon geyser
#

Raid is the superior content

west walrus
#

Imagine, being declined as a necro pwarr, with 4p yep

#

in ToP

median tulip
#

I don't really have very good damage trinkets right now, so I usually just wear both techniques

zealous ore
jagged pier
#

u survive keys by just playing correctly

zealous ore
#

I am bad at the game

jagged pier
#

then your playing incorrectly

zealous ore
#

Yes

#

So tell me what trinkets to wear to make up for being bad

jagged pier
#

trinkets wont save u

zealous ore
#

Scale and codex

sacred timber
#

Wait, aegis is better than scale???

jagged pier
#

yes

median tulip
#

No gear will save you from being bad

zealous ore
sacred timber
#

252 aegis > 278 scale?

brave stirrup
#

Another nub question, I havent played the game since legion. I have zero idea what the routes are in any of these keys. Super anxious about running mythic+ with pugs who are so used to routes and pulls that seasoned tanks have been doing all expac....what can i watch to learn proper routes and pulls?

jagged pier
west walrus
#

Aegis = infinite absorption

sacred timber
jagged pier
#

nothing

#

its always been that way

sacred timber
#

I should reclaim mine...

jagged pier
#

since ageis was in the game

median tulip
#

MDT allows you to see the dungeon layout, work out routes etc

sacred timber
jagged pier
#

239 is still better

#

than like everything

sacred timber
#

LOL

median tulip
#

It looks like this:

solid granite
#

Is the block value on the shield from the first boss in Sepulcher worth anything? Had only that as an option that wasn't absolutely trash

west walrus
#

Whatever you do

#

So, do as you feel :D

chrome falcon
#

@solid granite yes it's 7 ilvl defensively

brave stirrup
#

@median tulip am I able to look up popular routes on there or do i have to map my own

west walrus
urban portal
#

Anyways for a regular player I'd say scale is good

vernal vale
urban portal
#

Scale garuantees x value

#

While aegis requires you to know when to pop it

west walrus
#

Scale is still good, but not any longer the only way to go

jagged pier
#

aegis is also not effected by necrotic

#

scale is

median tulip
#

Scale is... niche. It's selling point is when you absolutely need to survive one big single hit of magic damage. For anything else there are better trinkets

solid granite
urban portal
#

Idk about scale being niche

#

It's x hp every y seconds

#

Always

#

If the mobs can't pop your shield then you aren't doing hard enough content where you need scale

sacred timber
#

So basically I will never have a 278 trink this season ;-;

solid granite
#

278 sack

sacred timber
#

is OWS not good?

median tulip
median tulip
#

psych

sacred timber
#

I'll make a bet

#

If I get one

#

278 in vault next week

#

I'll take it

#

and tank a +20 with it

chrome falcon
#

i got two consecutive bladedancers

median tulip
#

In Season 2 I had a vault with a BAK and a Pulsating Stoneheart

chrome falcon
#

hot

chilly brook
jagged pier
#

not really I would take stats tbh

#

u never use the on use if u want it to be better all the time

#

so its worthless

chilly brook
#

It’s def worse offensively

#

But if it’s what you got

#

And it’s an ilvl upgrade

#

Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

dense shell
#

hey folks , i have a terrible vault. the only decent choise is a helm 278 with wrong stat, but i have the BIS of dung with socket.

chilly brook
#

ilvl is king

#

Stats don’t matter

dense shell
#

i take the 278 and mog in tier set or mog the bis with socket?

chilly brook
#

There is no β€œwrong” stat

jagged pier
#

the stats change to the ones on the tier piece anyway

#

and in the end u wont even use helm tier piece

#

🀷

dense shell
#

y but there is a free socket

jagged pier
#

then take the socket

dense shell
chilly brook
jagged pier
#

because its the most total stats

urban portal
#

At bis gear you would convert helm to unity

dense shell
#

unity on the helm and tier on other ?

jagged pier
#

no just unity on helm

#

and not have 4pc

median tulip
#

Yes, in the long run the absolute BiS is 4pc Tier on the other slots and Unity on head. However, unless you are going to be putting Mythic Tier bosses on farm, this information is barely relevant

chilly brook
#

I wouldn’t say that

#

You can get mythic level tier in every slot

jagged pier
#

no u get mythic tier from vault

chilly brook
#

Outside of chest/shoulders

#

Those will be stuck at 278

#

Cuz Yknow creation catalyst

jagged pier
#

they wont

median tulip
#

Pretty low chance unles you kill Lords/Ryg

jagged pier
#

the last few bosses drop 285 stuff

#

no u can get lords or ryg pieces but killing the first 2 on mythic

#

and youve killed them on hc or normal or lfr

chilly brook
dense shell
ocean yoke
#

yeah i got 285 tier chest, only 2/11M

chilly brook
#

You can get at least the 278

median tulip
#

You can, but there is a much lower chance (according to the wowhead article)

chilly brook
#

Because creation catalyst

dense shell
#

so, my goal is 278 catalyst with dung drop

chilly brook
#

I’m aware that you can get any tier from any boss regardless of killing them in vault

urban portal
chilly brook
#

~3%

#

Iirc

#

Bumps to 13% if you’ve killed it

#

That’s per slot

jagged pier
#

HAHA LUL

#

fat chance

#

ive still not got tier in vault even tho i kill them every week

ocean yoke
#

just be lucky lol

chrome falcon
#

i got 285 shoulders this week

sweet summit
chrome falcon
#

but now i'm permanently stuck in the countermeasure mines

#

I need to do some vaults

#

Gotta get that countermeasures

vernal vale
median tulip
#

I'm going to wait until later tonight. PUGs in peak hours are full of gibbering morons

chilly brook
#

Doing it on low keys is smolbrain

#

Do it on 15 at least

#

Get credit for your vault

median tulip
#

The 15s are all "we are checking your legion season scores" lol

#

Like I said; gibbering morons

#

I'll do some keys at 2am when the only people playing are the true obsessives

sacred timber
#

I mean, have you seen what people do for +15s in SL???

"+15 NW, need CE, Kyrian, Resto Shaman, must have over 60 timed +20s and at least 3200 io, 3150 might be considered, ilvl 278+ only, 5/4 tier set with 2 291 legos required"

ocean yoke
#

dont forget the 4pc

median tulip
#

They might as well just write "carry me UwU"

sacred timber

definitely don't do that

well you don't even have 4set yet so you're gonna have to press more ip

really?

crimson marsh

So do you guys have any UI stuff to make reprisal easier like, like vuhdoo with mouseover with easy to see who's in range frames

if we get unlucky we can't buy these timewalking trinkets at good ilvl can we

mighty valley

Court of Stars ring Sims really high for me as well.

sacred timber
urban portal
#

there literally is

#

ignore pain has a cap

crimson marsh
#

then you will get hit by anything and ignore pain is no longer at cap so you can press it again

urban portal
#

nah prot war so op that you just perma cap on ignore pain

wraith hemlock
#

if you are not getting hit and ignore pain is capping you are either pulling too slow, too few or both

#

or you are too good for this game, I guess that could work too

crimson marsh
#

I would go nice I can tank keys a few levels higher no problems

urban portal
#

i mean

#

something like this week

#

tyrannical with no tank affix

#

you actaully take z dam in a 15

sacred timber
#

2. There is no such thing as too much ignore pain

jagged pier
#

u literally overcap IP

#

to keep the feedback loop going

urban portal
#

yeah but theres a cap

#

theres just no way to fart it out

sacred timber
#

don't make me tap the sign

urban portal
#

if there was an ogcd button that says "do 500 damage for 80 rage"

#

you would press that over capping ip

wraith hemlock
#

execute?

sacred timber
urban portal
#

its also on gcd

sacred timber
#

but from what I have learned IP is off GCD

urban portal
#

yeah you press ip whenever you need to dump rage

sacred timber
#

so dump all rage into that

urban portal
#

but the rage is literally dumped into nothing

#

it disappears

#

but you still do it to proc AM

#

and tier

sage yacht
crimson marsh
#

Dump the rage into irl anger and scream

chrome falcon
#

IP just turns into a button that gives you a stack of outburst and reduces avatar by 3.5 seconds i'm pretty happy pressing that

#

thats literally what it does

chrome falcon
#

i'd rather press heroic strike

#

but here we are

crimson marsh
#

Irl bolstering shout

urban portal
#

unlucky heroic strike gone

urban portal
#

did you macro heroic strike into something or nah

chrome falcon
#

you'd almost never press heroic strike without an ultimatum proc

#

from what i remember

median tulip
#

If you time a Legion+20 dungeon do you get a teleport for it?

chrome falcon
#

no

wraith hemlock
#

heroic strike was meeh

urban portal
#

better than pressing IP for nothing

chrome falcon

got my two set bonus with scale

time for another reclear with no dps trinkets sadga
