never asked for anything
DW I didn't play either and I was on the last 2 podcasts
I'm just a poster boi


Gonna join podcast and everytime its some questions and go ”idk i just press buttons”
Tbh he was more chilaxed than the last podcast.
Truu
We actually say that
Yeah
Yeah but whats the actual one and how it changes with 4p?
4p rotation is literally just same but way more wicked
So none of you know🤔
i got 2p 
Not the absolutely optimal one
Id just say ignore TC as much as you can
But with 4p legit opener
Idk
Lots of choices
Press TC for snap threat maybe? Don't blame me, I feel it's worth it
You charge & avatar as you pull whats your next button
tc hits like a wet noodle
you're better off revenging for aggro
with that said i usually TC anyway
No with Avatar and outburst it claps
Rav - charge - TC - revenge - avatar - SS - revenge - revenge?
And it has bigger hit radius than revenge I think
And use IP to avoid capping obv
Or is it better to use avatar instantly
Tough question
Assuming you start with 0 stacks
So smth like
Rav - charge + avatar - SS + IP - TC/rev - rev spam
Cuz charge + avatar + ss is already 110 rage
Ah tru forgot SB
Use banner before avatar
So rav - charge + banner - avatar - SS+SB+IP - rev-tc/rev
🙂
And because it has 4 non global buttons think about in how small time frame everything happens
hey guys, i just got my 4 set set bonus and want to try some m+ tanking. As a "nice to have" i would like to make a weak aura that shows me the "seeing red" stacks and when it is ready the "outburst" proc. So far i managed to get seeing red to work, but the other one doesnt seem to pop up when i get it. Can someone help me with that please?
i am not good with WAs
obiviously...
- it's linked in the pins
- it's pretty simple buff tracking
Legit just trigger, aura, buff, name outburst
Or if you have elvui you can copy the spell ID
Need to be 2 seperate WAs
huh... and yet again i am trying to solve a problem, others already have 😒
thank you
I recommend playing around with it yourself a bit
Cuz it's one of the simplest WAs to make
Getting into WAs is really fun imo
Or well, UI weak auras, the code stuff I can't do
Why would you need 2 separate weakauras for it?
Makes it easier
i am honestly getting overwhelmed with the options every dang time
Can you have outburst and seeing red buffs at the same time?
Yes
I havent paid any attention to it ngl
They're 2 entirely seperate entities
While you have outburst up, you can continue generating seeing red stacks even with 2pc
is there a way to play the sound "one" if i am at 7 stacks?
Sure
I'm not home for 5 more days so I can't show where
I added "mooo" because I play tauren 
how do i make it trigger at stack 7?
Conditions
Conditions and = 7
Iirc
But i personally wouldnt recommend a sound reminder on something that will be popping up constantly
That is bound to get real annoying real fast
I like earing moo moo all the time
okay
It’s possible to skip 7 so your sound wouldn’t trigger
Just drag and drop
great chance to practice 🙂
Does anyone know how to make a weakaura that will start a timer when a certain ability is used, but not reset the counter if it's used again before the timer ends?
What is the optimal piece of gear for our memory of unity leggo?
absolute optimal: head. But Waist is generally used if you are concerned over getting 4pc set bonus and/or ilvls of same
Good morning folks
8%?
anyone know if prot 4 piece has been nerfed in pvp yet?
Hello, can someone please tell me if vers trinket from Eye of Azshara good for prots?
Probably soon thanks to rexdumb
should the shuri be able to spawn right on the boss or is that bugged
seems hella ass
Gets a resounding "meh" from me
and no real counter play besides trying to keep boss away from every shape
I mean, even at 272 it's... just ok, really. I'd rather have something that helped me generate more Rage
4 sets already gives you mucho rage innit?
There's no such thing as too much Rage
That why we keep saying " need more rage"
basically that giant ornamental pearl is about half as effective as a Scale, but on half the cooldown.
Nice enough if you have it, but I wouldn't go out of my way to farm one
That trinket is the wish version of scales
the added vers is nice, mind
I am running with 2 defensive trinkets rn, and i have it in my bag, so i just wanted to confirm
Upgrade your shield
Yeah. That's a much better thing to spend your valour on

how can i tell if I am overcapping from like 10 rage or like 90 rage?
like if im at 10 rage and outburst, ls, ss for 140 rage, how can I determine that from just hitting thunderclap at 95 rage?
Also, If I find myself never using intervene, should I switch to destructive reverb?
No you should just start using intervene properly
I hate how you have to turn away from mobs to use it if people are behind you
it is so annoying
You should have a melee in every key
even then
Get a mousover macro for intervene and intervene a melee most of the time you won't even move from your spot
Just stand near them and IV won’t even move you
Or you can IV a ranged and charge right back in
I usually end up doing this
nvm
Can someone point me in the direction of an explanation for this?
Why is necro so much better?
4set synergy?
banner?
i always inv 1 melee to intervene too lol
perma extra block and rage?
best is when you have 2 hunters and one is survival and one is marksmen
on dos, and you forget which is which on last boss

I just macro them in at start of key
or do a focus macro?
but then again I use intervene and charge on the same keybind
i mouseover macro intervene and charge to the same button
if you hover party member it intervenes
if your targeting mob you charge
do yall play all the way zoomed out?
cause I always have trouble finding my teammates in a fight lol
move your party frames closer to the middle of the screen
use the party frames to target or mouse over
HOW DO HEALERS HEAL
i click le frame
YES
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover] Intervene
/cast [@focus] Intervene
but like, If I mouse over "melee player z"'s party frame, will it intervene to them?
ok i lied maybe my intervene isnt mouse overed
but i have charge/intervene on same button
not home to check though
@sacred timber
#showtooltip Charge
/cast [target=mouseover,help,exists,nodead]Intervene;Intervene
/cast [target=target,harm,exists,nodead]Charge;Charge
/cast [@mouseover, help, nodead, exists][@mouseovertarget, help, nodead, exists][@focus, help, nodead, exists][target=targettarget, help, nodead, exists][]Intervene
@jagged pier have you ever played arms
asking for experience for a 15 legion key should genuinely be a bannable offence
not even kidding
My SB uptime has been turbo ass this week because the trash is so fucking weak hahahaha
Getting like 60% blocked hits because I’m just drilling revenge all day every day
I was denied to a 10 vault and I have legion experience. People are just stupid.
Yesterday there were people asking for people with a 2k Legion season rating 🤣
I tanked for a guy last night who had World's First on guardian LOL
Which guardian
SoFO
This tier?
ye
Its a joke boss so not really an achievement
Vigilant
Still a world's first
Isn't there drama with WF VG guild?
even if each boss had different groups that would still only be 220 players
but in this case there are only 60 players who have it.
TES, Liquid, and Echo
Yeah they literally got it before any actual guilds went on to mythic because xd tier splits
WF is still WF, no matter which boss
real
i have leap/intervene macroed together. intervene being mouseover. I have them on my mouse wheel, figured out last night that elvui doesn't like to recognize mouse clicks when targeting party frames.
think i may have found an addon to fix the issue, but have yet to try it out
those guys got WF on vigilant guardian then literally didn't kill another mythic for over a month
which i think is hilarious
i got the fucking timewalking mount before i got countermeasure REEE
What about world first +2 Mists
There's Vault+18 "Legion Gamers Only" that's had exactly 2 people in it for the last 10 minutes... I'm wondering how long it'll be before they crack 🤣
LMAO ZETA I'M LITERALLY LOOKING AT THAT TOO
thinking like
i literally just did 18 vault and it was so easy but this behaviour is absolutely way too cringe to be rewarded with me tanking it
the guy pumped tho, he did like 16.8k overall
until we had our first wipe he was doing like 21.1k
Uh let's go skolex heroic and rygolon
Sorry I forgot it's a lot of bosses from last night.
these bosses are pretty easy considering gear/legendaries/tier at this point so it's harder to tell than if you were actually being pressured
but on skolex you didn't last stand on your first banner
you should have better uptime on a target dummy like skolex
you were running BSC on skolex which is wrong, you want BV (more rage= more banner=more rage)
Yeah, my guild was insisting on normal again because tier.
yeah it's just kinda hard to tell if you're playing bad because on normal you could just afk backtank every boss and not die
I just got 4p last night. I'll be running BV now
you should have been running BV anyway it's always been better in single target but either way as long as you run it now that's fine
Oh, good to know.
I've been focusing on quashing my rage capping this week.
Thanks for tye quick look and sorry again about the number of bosses without thinking.
yeah wasted rage seemed ok on skolex but obviously gets a bit harder with BV
I'm intending to keep improving. My guild is very slow.
yeah doing normal clears at this point gives me that impression, HC is very doable for just about any guild at this point
Our GM is extremely focused on everyone having 4p for whatever reason.
I advocated for heroic only weeks ago.
Doesn't help when our paladin tank and several others only log on for raid.
Finding a guild who needs a tank is quiet challenging i am finding
its hard
- only 2 tank-spots
- raid tanking is easy so you never really need to replace a tank for "not performing"
its irrelevant to look at tank logs and bench a tank just cus they do less dps
also every tank is always an officer and irl friends with the gm
feel like i have to wait for patch exhaustion to kick in and for a tank to stop logging on then just happen to stumble upon said situation
pretty much
or join as a dps
and say u want to tank
90% of the time one of the tanks doesnt actually want to tank
Yeah, our paladin is an officer. So he's literally getting away with raiding only even though a single m+15 is supposed to be required.
I'm tempted to just go fury for raid and find a better guild.
I've known our GM for years but I want to push content harder again.
or the GM and his wife.
my gm got angry at me last time i raided cus i was padding 
as in waiting until last second before doing needed mechanic
My GM is still telling me I should be kyrian not Necro
I told him he needs to outperform me on a warrior before I even think about listening to him.
He didn't like that.
Necro was always “good” last patch just was worse for personal performance especially in keys compared to Kyrian. With double legendary and the set giving us so much rage though you can keep banner up 100% of the time which really helps counter any downside it has. It’s also extremely tanky because of this.
I don't get how this is padding if you're doing it on time and correctly
Tell him to stop being an idiot and get in the discord
And get btfo’d by warriors telling him he’s an idiot for suggesting that necro isn’t good
Bet money he doesn't even have a 95 perf average
I never understand this mentality
If you wait until last second but still do the mechanic
You’re doing what you should be doing
xD sounds like a jerk to me
I had a guild get mad at me for this on fatescribe, I’d be maximizing uptime on him and leaping out for the grim portent at the last second
Never wiped them
Never missed the mechanic
Yeah like Arms literally does this because downtime is brutal on the spec
But they’d flip the fuck out
Dumb who cares if ur downing bosses? Ppl silly
My response was “as soon as I fuck it up and it’s consistent, we can talk about me not doing this”
It never happened

I feel so blessed to be able to get PI and have a WF group spot reserved.
Idk some people have to put their expectations of themselves on you
I.e. it scares them because they can’t or won’t do something and therefor you can’t possibly do it
This is why I lead a casual guild and push content on my own time that makes the game not fun. Ppl like that got e-peen syndrome i think lol
Chad energy
Real talk though if he wants to fight you over Necrolord direct him to the discord
can the jailer weapon drop from timewalking quest cache?
yeah one of our other warriors got it in his
Yes
Had a monk tank start chirping in my ear on H Sludge when I didn't instantly run his charge
Worry about what you're doing, I'm already solo tanking because you're not close enough.
Yea I had a great cotank in nathria
He was blood
I just told him to run ahead of me and I’d catch up
He trusted
Let me get charge

It’s rare to get good tanking synergy

I tried that he read the pin saying g Kyrian=Necrolord and took that as kyrian is better.
Why he so involved in your spec xD wtf
SAME. I can get my VDH to taunt pretty much on command for a recharge
maybe he got crush on u 😻
Fairly certain the pin is assuming average play on necro
Literally point him to most prot parses
Like sense is running necro on fights he can get away with it
And there’s a reason for that
Are you guys doing N or H
I'm done arguing with the guy. He can kick me and find a new tank. Or just let me play and trust I'm doing my research.
People who try and play the tank for someone else literally drive me nuts
Sadly we still had to clear normal again last night because not everyone has 4p yet.
99% of the time they have no idea what they’re talking about
just start nitpicking their stuff right back
I'm nitpicking the fuck out of our paladin who plays like ass.
You know putting whats good and not good aside.. you gott play wat you enjoy @vernal vale find a diff guild xD guy sounds annoying
Why does he want you playing Kyrian anyways?
I've known him for a decade or I would have left.
Like honestly the only thing Kyrian has over necro is burst aoe
He thinks kyrian phial is amazing beyond anything else I think.
Bruh
Phial is a weak ass heal
Barely clears anything in the raid
You get far more healing from the extra rage from banner

one extra healthstone>a ton of extra rage, damage, and survivability of course
Not to mention one fleshcraft>phial in terms of healing
does he know you can fleshcraft more than once a fight
Wait is this guy tank or DPS
Not like you’re actually channeling in combat if you’re trying to max your banner
But still lol
I was going to say that - idk personally bc i play kyrian but i assumed fleshcraft was a big bonus.
Yeah
yeah and a DR while channeling
Fleshcraft is great if used well
@vernal vale chances are that your GM is trying to over-micromanage you as one of his good players to compensate for your dogshit players
it has to be used before pulls tho right?
Idk I rarely think about it just hit it before combat and get a full channel or just tap it for a mastery refresh in combat
that's what i've done in the past when i was having problems
it's a mistake, obviouly
Nah you can use it in combat
but that's probably what it is
Does it stop u from blocking?
No
thats super thicc actually 😮
Not worth doing a full channel unless your banner fell or you're in downtime
tru. I always liked kyrian never thought to try necrolord but didnt know that
Would be good on desausage when you’re running out to blow up
I just use it like a monk would zen med
Running out?
Time it for that 20% dr/what ever shield it is for the hit then stop channeling
nice on rygelon since you dont get the dot if you full shield the hit
The tank damage doesn't have fall off matt
Tank mechanic is a small explosion isn’t it?
Lol
but i only channel it there right before casting another banner so downtime irrelevant
MATT
its an aoe but not a distance dropoff

Tank mechanic is a dot that explodes
Yeah
Yep
Lmfao
The DBM count down is for healers
They also fucked my uptime on that boss by being Kyrian……
Not tanks
Uelse it when you have to stack out for a mechanic/forced downtime
Triple halo had me running for like 20 seconds off the boss because boss is off in Africa and I had to run to China to cast door to skip two of them
Otherwise they wouldn’t have enough time as Kyrian to drop debuff

They are
But the skip point for the two after that is opposite of that
If you want to skip two halos with one door
Very possible
yeah i troll the shit out of my dps on dausegne it's great
we already have her at like 10% by the second triple ring
and we're never skipping the shield
so idc if they have downtime because their damage there literally doesn't matter
plus if i kill all of them
i get to solo execute the last shield all by myself

If you pull to the opposite corner of where the first comes out you just skip the last two rings
As long as you have a port
Which tbh is worth
Like everyone should be Nf/venth on that fight it’s worth whatever personal loss is incurred
Frees up so much healing and makes it generally a much easier fight
counterpoint: frick off i'm trying to parse
Counterpoint: you parse better with more uptime

No one cares about tank damage on desausage

Like I’ll be real I usually am not the one to say that
But making a decision on your covenant to bump tank dps on that fight that lowers group dps is not the move
and yet here we are
Anybody using booming voice regularly over best served cold in m+? Just curious on opinions
mystic touch baybee
Never liked bsc but been running it bc of the new legendary xD
ik blah i like the burst of bv better i guess + the free rage
But also
Who needs BV anyways
Just get 80% banner uptime
Enhance is your friend
Literally worst class

Gotta troll people somehow
Enhance was worried I wouldn’t be able to tank higher keys
Did 1 key as dps then I was like “nah I’m tanking this next one”
Fed him his highest dps of the season

They just don’t know
yeah ppl do talk alot of shit when they see u are prot in a key
Honestly my HP bar reminds me of legion
It’s like either fine
Or it’s like “oh my, what are you idiots doing?”
i dont feel squishy at all
but ive only touched a 22 as my highest
felt fine tho
I don’t either
The times when my hp bar isn’t fine is when things suddenly stop being kicked

Kicking is apparently hard.
well of course it is dps is the hardest job
lol they always just blame tank anyway xD
Imagine being a treehugger
As a main spec tank. I've long used interrupts when im playing dps.
What gets bad is when you have an interrupt tracker and can see who's actually used thier kick.
Half the time I'm tanking it's only my own.
It's a very depressing weak aura
I call that out mid key
Like
You aren't pumping nearly hard enough for me not to care, find your kick bind.
I should do that.
I'll straight up leave keys if I'm having to carry and baby DPS
Straight up don't give a shit
Got told by some lowball havoc that quaking takes you out of invisibility potions
After he broke his and wiped us somehow
oof
Uh, they fixed quaking so it doesn't do that a long time ago
Literally trash canned the key and said I wasn't gonna carry someone that was bad and stupid
I left a HoA the other day when the druid said warrior was bad because they don't self heal.
Kek
After I died twice with 0 hots on me and kicks being missed.
Bro I hate healers that try to DPS and end up wiping the group so they can do 2k overall
People seem to think any tank that cant pull 50k DPS and 20K+ HPS like bears right now on trash are garbage tanks
Healers trying to dps at the wrong time destroys more keys. Then they always blame tank.
omg this smfh
That's why I'm pretty locked into my Hpriest she's rock solid and knows how to keep me up without any effort
The only healer that should be pulling dps is disc... and they nerfed that to the ground. and holy paladin. The dps that some healers are pulling rn is stupid and yeah it does affect the out come of keys bc they pug in and dont heal lol. Probably dps in heal spec tbh xD
cringing rn
I find remebering to interrupt* as prot easier than as arms or fury. I'm not sure what it is.
My enhance shaman knows how to resto and only dps when it's safe but I want him to be enhance
A good Resto shaman can do a ton of damage (for a healer), but it's all about timing
Also requires your group to take no dmg
A shaman can't do both simultaneously
So they can only deal dmg if nobody takes dmg
just drop tide and spam lava burst ez
Tide does like 1k hps
Pretty much BiS for Prot?

yes
Pmuch
that+death god's right
yes
Na death God is mastery
Thanks for the quick responses. Thought so but wanted verification
more haste tho 
from m+ anyways death gods gives ton of haste that y
Ya but why go for haste+mastery when you can have haste+crit
I like the top and pf ring

If you want max haste there's a raid ring with close to 300 haste
Jeweled Signet for Hate/Crit and autodmg
Hate
is codex any good for prot warr
cause on my bdk its absolute madness
yeah thats the thing
But once you have 4pc on bdk it's not good anymore
What are the best trinkets to try and target for M+?
really ?
Does anyone know if the crit bonus from Elysian Might applies to the first hit of the Spear of Bastion when you cast it?
Scale, phial, sack
just like ows witha dps trinket
Cool, thanks
The First Sigil is amazing for Necrotic too, if you are Kyrian
Faulty countermeasures is good for pure ST dmg
AFE is ok in a fight where movement is limited. I don't like it when using Reprisal
my bdk solo tanked rygelon and codex was his top damage
That's rygelon
yeah it's not the norm
Extreme dmg intake especially if you solotank
was pretty funny though
But in m+ your dmg intake as bdk with 4pc, and if you're playing well, is actually pretty low
Due to 80%+ uptime of drw
So you'd prefer haste
I never saw it all of legion. I definitely don't expect it in limited timewalking windowz
any trinkets from legion timewalking m+ that are worth chasing after for prot war?
Faulty Countermeasures
thank you
Windscar whetstone should be nuts aswell
Idk why nobody is talking about it anymore
Sure but last time I checked it still did like 600 dps in m+
Which was still more than double of every other trinket back then
What about the 2 from Thicket?
Negatory
icy veins mentions Writhing Heart of Darkness
It's shit ever since they fixed it
It used to be % reduction
Now it's just a flat amount
And that flat amount is incredibly low
ok, guess i'm better off farming scale and codex then 🙂
oh; the thing I was looking at say % reduction, so I guess that's that
hi, can you jump over dausegnes rings with heroic jump without getting the debuff?
Afaik no
Nightmare Egg Shell seems like a lot of Haste tho
Its low ppm iirc
But fun when you have it
It's a mini BL whenever it procs
So it's worth a shot atleast
thanks!
does Pestilence Slime drop sanguine in PF?
If it has a yellow hp bar, no, if it has a red hp bar, extremely likely
0.667ppm according to a post on wowhead. Although that post was made in 7.1.5
well the ppm is fine but it's just a weak proc until you hit high stacks, right?
that's my memory of it
funny trinket though i liked it in legion a lot
It's a 20sec buff
That ramps up 1 stack per sec
So getting less than 1proc per min, is pretty bad
yee so the first few seconds are kinda doodoo but the end is insane
lemme get that during execute slurp slrup
This allergies are killing me
even at just 210, each stack is about the same as a stack of 239 OWS
It is, the last 8sec are more than BL
Why is this discord so wholesome
idk about you guys but i don't help people because i like helping people
i help people because bad prot warrior play genuinely nauseates me
it's honestly fucking tragic that HoV isn't in rotation
imagine a 272 horn of valour
jesus
I agree @strong forum and @jagged pier make this place great. But is all until we get @ionic fern and @undone sun back. After that the real og' s take over
I loved that trinket in legion
The other one I used a lot was spiked countermeasure or whatever
Seems it doesn't scale well or something based on Sims. Or they changed its ppm
🤔

Late was yellow before me

I believe
Lol
😂
To be fair I've had some cringe prot tanks in keys I just wanted to DPS in
Lmao
Actually true
ty sense that's a banger meme
When you have three shaman and not one of them kicks the fucking casting vampire in the back god dammit why
Dps brain
See what you gotta do
Is tell them that it’s a DPS gain to kick that mob
Because then it stacks
And then you’re hitting an extra target
Smoothbrain jagaloons without a mouseover kick
focus >> mouseover
Gonna focus every pack
yes?
Two macros to do one job
yes
Just aim 4hed

ngl i've been really enjoying prot warrior this tier. The "how long can I keep my banner going" mini game feels rewarding and has lots of room for improvement. I'm only doing 15-19s atm but i'm curious to see how far I can take it
ya it's great fun
hey, i look for a WA which track the setbonus. i didnt finde any on Wago. can any help?

They have a really good one listed in the pins
thank you @dapper swift @west walrus
You're welcome 
i didnt like it I made my own 
@jagged pier u share it on wago or only private
A what
tell me when
easier to use WA takes less memory
my pc is shit so
use the light weight version where i can
Oh
I member using tell me when in WoD

on pull, would you guys recommend using outburst with thunderclap for snap threat purposes? Or should I just save it for shield slam
for m+ that is
Save it for shield slam. use the reprisal revenge proc and the rage from the slam for more revenges
that should handle initial threat fine
especially with things like ravager going youll be good
ohh true that makes sense, thanks!
slam
just press revenge
spending rage is good
I must be really ancient I just use a buff debuff tracker
TMW, reminds me so many things 
I made the switch to WA... well, during BfA :D
WA is just so powerful. It's an add on that makes add ons
Tastes like a guy that got sick of reloading his own addons and just wrote this so he could do it in game
Also much simpler
i find myself having way to much nostalgia over tmw to give it up. i use weakauras for alot of things but tmw is still bae
TMW is the Elmer Fudd wood stock nostalgists instead of just using modern, lighter materials with more durability
I can't imagine carrying a wood stock rifle on hunts
Quick question for M+: anger management or heavy repercussions?
AM
holy fuck
Does the pvp 1shot still work or been hotfixed yet?
Never seen triple digits before
Surv?
MM
Wow
what did they finish at?
I've seen 85k
They usually are for some reason..
damn
Not even to me tho like he was just bullying this lock to leave the key saying he didnt need him
Love a big cunt
real nice dps for an 18
and why can i never find boomies that can do that, or barely ever?
boomies arent real people bud

I’m going to put a wood stock on my rifle for my first time going hunting when I get to Texas just for you
awe how sweet
Enjoy the extra poundage
I hope your arm falls off for being a boomer
Progress update, I have ZM flying and Unity with the 2k Cosmic Flux to craft Reprisal at 291. Now I just need to do Torghast to get the cinders and ash. Is Prot a good spec to do Torghast with compared to Arms or Fury?
i always enjoy some extra poundage bud
iirc that makes them jiggle more.

It’s fine
Any of the specs blast through torghast
Boomers would be off put by my firearms tbh
Judging by the staples i’d imagine thats like 7k overall
I estimate 6.9

Nice
Alrighty now I just need to run the dang thing like 6x (I'm not got at Torghast so I only have level 10 unlocked)
Just do jailers gauntlet
I haven't really tried it. I know I can do rank 1 of gauntlet, can I repeat it for the same rewards? Like doing it twice for the same rewards as if doing the same layer 9 floors
probably not even rank 3 on lihuvim
washed
shows me rank 3 but if i had to bet jakey probably beat me
You’d beat me if it makes you feel any better

If you get 3k flux you can buy all the cinders and soul ash ylu need from the vendor in zereth mortis. Not sure how close you would be for that so the torgs may be faster
I'd need 5k. Seems more time efficient to just farm Cosmic Flux rn
3k for materials and 2k for crafting
Ahh you're at 2k flat, mb
The week before they put in the Soul Ash/Cinder packages I farmed enough Cinders for 3 leggos by just spamming layer 9 over and over. Layer 9 is the best time to currency ratio going.
Yeah, I have like 2.8k total. I want the leggo but I don't want to send 6 hours in torghast
My record was 6 minutes for a run.
Good God, I doubt I can go that fast.
Go in as prot, run directly to floor boss, repeat until done
How do you even collect powers?
You don't
o.o
it's only layer 9
which is last patch content
so all you need is some ilvl and the free powers at the start of floors and stuff
nah your rank 4 my first kill i did like 10 dps more than u
I think my warrior is at 235rn
this week i did nothing
Half the mobs give up and reset if you go far enough past their spawn point
@jagged pier https://gyazo.com/58467fde41c5d8c95646c461f9664b8c WHOOPS
pretty sure i can pop a 90 second CD more than 2 times in a 9 minute fight
my maths might be wrong though
I'll try this, may be efficient. If it sucks I'm only losing 1-2 hours and can just farm CM later
gauntlet is definitely the least painful torghast experience
you get to the god build pretty quick
And it doesn’t waste much time
When I did it on Vengeance and Survival (only did layer 1) it was actually a decent challenge
what are best stats again? to make my lego
But this is what I should be doing to not be bad at wow. So Jailers Gauntlet when I get home tonight
haste vers
There's a stat question. Long ago in the before times Prot used to stack Mastery like no other because critical block was amazing. Is Vers better now because it applies to magic and physical? (Can't block a spell etc)
you get a truckload of mastery from necro anyway and yeah mastery doesn't help us survive things we're bad at surviving
it doesn't really matter much either way
Yeah but overall 10% DR is probably better than a 30% DR on physical only (assuming 10% vers as a baseline). Makes logical sense no matter what
you can't really directly compare them like that
that's giga feelycraft
also the OVERWHELMING majority of damage you take in m+ is physical
Oh. I was thinking of X damage being given out and A is being reduced by block with B reduced by vers. If A is greater than B then block is better. I guess it's just feelcraft. And ya the vast majority of dungeon damage is physical so it doesn't make sense to say Block better or Vers better. (Agreeing while thinking the problem through)
😵 mwahi left?
no

I did 8.5k that run, but honestly I was just getting aggro and running things out of sanguine, didn’t really need to get involved as the hunter was just blitzing everything
Any good trinkets out of time walking legion or stick to scale and codex ?
faulty countermeasures is great for pure ST, maybe the cos ring as well but not much outside those 2
ye
i'm just choosing not to care about legion gear since hunting for individual drops on a time limited event sounds like a way to make myself miserable
if i get something, neat
I'm already miserable by chasing countermeasures
Haste, crit. For me it Sims better than every other ring available.
tiny drop chance from the most frustrating dungeon... you are a mind warrior
I was nostalgic for some legion stuff but I'm thinking nah, I might as well just do my great vault and if I get it great if not then I should move on.
on my 15th vault run
cannot believe i got the mount before countermeasure
AND the guy who got the countermeasure in my run wouldn't trade the mount for it
Oof
I did a 20 vault last time legion timewalking was up and the first boss felt like mythic prog to us
looked up the stats and less than ten teams in the world had bothered to time a 20+ vault
just real quirky tuning
first boss of vault can fuck pretty hard
and if you get hit by glaive on the last boss on a 10 it instantly kills everyone but the tank
I'm gonna finish off my vault. This week and and if I don't get countermeasure or CoS ring. I'll just try again next time.
keys are a lot harder when nobody remembers any mechanics lol
lots of "oh ok I guess we have to kick that"
I completely forgot how to do Vault of the Wardens final boss. Got kicked off the edge
Grats on the mount.
i just want my 2% dps increase
i also got the mount in there lol

Not even sure what mount.
after kicking my mage guildy mid pull on last boss for memes, then finding out it wouldn't let me invite him back in combat
infinite timereaver
Oh. Well grats that's a pretty rare drop imo
My gear is bad it's like an 8% increase for me.

can you sim an item you dont have?
Yeah droptimizer on raidbots
you can also shiftclick an item in game into your /simc command
but it usually drops to the default ilvl so you gotta add ,ilevel=278 or w/e
ah cheers
now i can enjoy the game lel 
Grats on 3k
pog
ty guys, all thanks to this discord channel 😄
love the name
This discord channel is helping me a super amount as well. I picked up 1k DPS and suck a significant amount less.
all you, king
so whats the opinon on the raid rings cause so far i have 1 that has no haste so it feels kinda shitty
the big haste ring kinda pogging
Na, @chrome falcon yelling at me helped as well. Zetakya actually taking time to explain things to me was super amazing too
helpful valarjars 
dont scare me like that , they did say YOU left Us
dw i've always got more yelling in the tank
in the tank heh
If it's helpful it's just motivation
Hahaha
@pliant sage what are some of the best suggestions / tips they taught you?
How the spec interacts with Revenge resets, how to set up actual damage abilities for more offensive pressure. I learned I was leaning on Shockwave too much. And they broke down the interaction between Necro Banner and rage management using Ignore Pain as a rage dump instead of seeing it as a higher priority than Revenge. Mostly tuning the use of spells to not suck at keeping the spec going.
I'm still playing with globals learning how to put things together but solid teaching is still solid.
The MarcelionOnline podcast that was released just a bit ago going over Prot helped as well.
Shield Slam to make rage, primary rage spender after shield block is Revenge and if you are going to cap/overcap use Ignore Pain from what I read. Thunderclap on cooldown (unless it's going to consume the 4p bonus). The point is to try to fish for Revenge procs and Shield Slam resets isn't it?
i don't TC on cooldown most of the time i just keep pressing revenge
but it depends if ravager is up or close
Like I said, I have the idea. I'm still putting it in practice.
yep
Im just coming to the conclusion that I suck too much to always spend all my rage
TC is very feelycrafty, you just kinda figure out over time when you can afford to spend rage rather than gain 5
Any tips for dealing with sanguine in keys? Most other tanks have some sort of movement displacement, what do yalll do to get stuff out of the puddles?
thinking proactively
LOS
stunning something thats about to die and moving rest of the group
As i have been, just trying to see if im missing anything else more than the obvious
yeah thats kinda what you do
interrupt casters in puddles
you can also out-range if you can't LOS
but thats not really that good
easiest is probably just to think proactively and not reactively
Yeah move as they start getting low
Is the court of stars ring worth farming this week?
it's a well-statted ring but i dont think the effect is very good
at 272 its a 0.3 % ST dps increase for me with 265 rings to maybe put things in perspective
It Sims high for me bit only by 2% more than other rings.
So likely depends on what else you have.
countermeasures on the other hand 
I would say it's worth going for bur don't kill yourself to get
Countermeasures is 8% for me
I have done so many runs of VOTW already
Has anything happened to reflects in m+ for you guys? Rotspew in NW no longer consumes reflect with aura for me
any noticable trinkets and items from the legion dungeons?
faulty countermeasure
I've done over 30 runs on streets alone, only seen encrypted in two runs on left side, panthers, anyone knows what triggers this?
Necro or Kyrian guys for m+? whats difference between them
Oh, alright, thanks 😄
lol
Is there any sort of trick to do the orbs in spires, or is it just a make people actually do mechanics sort of thing? I know reflect just blows the upfront hit
it's the dot that kills once it's stacked up high, so you don't want to blow everything immediately
aegis does work if you have it
but if anyone with a real immunity can handle some/all quickly then that's dandy
Does that work with shield wall? Like if you have a big dot you wall after you've got it?
Okay, that'll definitely help for some other encounters. I wasn't sure if I had to wall ahead of time
then SW as soon as i have all the stacks
if something casts shadow bolt on you
you need to SW before it CASTS
but dots you can SW after they're applied
yeah I'd love to have aegis, or really anything better than stoneheart
my drop luck is the worst
Since that's last tier I figure just trying to get scale is more likely
I only have heroic and haven't tried to go back to mythic this patch, I dunno if there are any communities that run sanctums
I need more practice with DoS anyway. Terrified of that dungeon cause of the big magic damage pulls without an absorb trinket
When you go in on the first platform, hit Spell Reflect. The soldiers do an instant cast shadow damage attack that you need the extra mitigation for. If you have 4pc, throw in Avatar as well
In fact, pretty much just SR on cooldown
It's not actually that bad this week; Hakkar on the other hand, is a twat
Hakkar requires some good timings, but it's mostly the early trash that bugs me
This season's affix lets you blow everything on the first pull, previous seasons you really wanted to save SW for the 2nd pack
I'll have to check routes these days. for a while people were going both left and right
There's 2 theoretical routes that require Wo skips; Direct to Ardenweald, and direct to Hakkar
I don't have 4set yet, but 2set is still taking some getting used to. Will make a WA for it I think
I say theoretical; I know people are using them, but GFL getting pugs to do them properly
Pretty easy to do
Yeah the long wo skip is fun in coordinated groups, but that's a big emphasis on coordinated
I mean hell, I still have groups who can't even do the wo skip at the start of mists
There's a WA in pins that's good enough for me
ah I've been using luxthos just forgot to update it for 9.2 I think
gotta love not having played fae long enough to not think about it using soulshape and fucking everyone over 
for first sigil*
Guardian or Skollex shield, same ilvl
I got one shot on skollex twice in a pug, my fault or was the other tank not doing something right ?
heroic or normal?
Raid finder trying to pick up tier
uhh nothing should 1shot you in that level
only thing that can is riftmaw
Hmmm, happened at his combo
and you can SR that
debuff still 500% on lfr
on normal
yeah can SR it
and LFR
Umm. Is Hekili ok to use to learn the priority rotation? Or is it strictly for dps gain?
What is heklii
So that was strictly my fault? I can’t survive it if I don’t SR it? Or was he supposed to taunt during the combo
pls dont use it for tank
Your cotank fucked up
supposed to taunt during, if you SR you dont get it at all for lfr
If heklii is that guitar hero thing please god do NOT use it
Thanks for the warning ⛔️
Heklii and similar addons have never made anyone better at the game but especially it’s bad for tanks
Ok, so what are tanks supposed to do during riftmaw? I interpreted what I read is that each tank taunts between the 3 hits? He never died, I did during my hits
Wait- we can SR the Skrillex combo??
i wouldnt say that, since hekili will let you parse 60-70 and thats by definition not bad
It won’t make you a better player though
It’ll just make you worse when you turn it off
But it will make you a better parser!?
