During the 3 hit combo it can be any order? So it could go riftmaw riftmaw rend?

chrome falcon
#

Yes

#

Given even ilvls, I would prefer a shield with secondaries for any purpose other than raiding

austere forum
#

Does weapon dps do anything for prot damage? Or is all about the šŸ›”?

chrome falcon
#

We scale off weapon damage just as much as anyone

#

And our damage doesn’t scale off our shield

brave stirrup
#

So it’s safe for each tank to tsunt between the hits right?

chrome falcon
#

Hasn’t for years that’s a classic thing

#

Yes weapon

brave stirrup
#

Thx

#

And make sure you split since they’re frontals

it's ok to pull people across the rings with the tank succ

and sometimes the right play

just don't accidentally suck everyone away from the portals right when they need to go through

block value nice for keys

vernal vale
#

Man, I feel like I'm making so many mistakes with 4p now gotta spend some time in dungeons and on dummies

#

changing where keybinds are to make it easier to hit ignore pain is hurting me too

mighty valley
#

We're gonna have a long time with this set bonus to get used to it

vernal vale
#

I just got it last night

mighty valley
#

Yeah I just got it at the reset

#

Felt like I was fucking up a lot in my first couple dungeons, but still was v powerful

vernal vale
#

I'm probably trying to hard on managing the bonus instead of just playing tonight

#

trying to get SS only for outburst procs and the like

mighty valley
#

I mean, don't accidentally blow the key or anything, but you're better off focusing on the one thing you want to improve at

vernal vale
#

Yeah, ive been trying to quash my rage waste

#

Definitely feels fun with shitloads of mistakes

vernal vale
#

yeah, focused on just playing and pantheon instantly felt better to me

I know i was still not playing the best because that was rough on the first go at it

#

fun fight tbh very easy to get charges constantly

hard knot
#

why are we running necro, for dps, surv, or both?

vernal vale
#

both

#

plus it feeds the 4set with rage gain

hard knot
#

i seem to do more dps as Kyrian

vernal vale
#

you will burst more as kyrian

#

long term necro does more

#

kyrian has better aoe

#

but really only during spear

#

necro is better boss damage

cinder nova

#

yeah its just a big soak when you go downstairs

#

thats it

cinder nova
#

How's the strike mechanic? Still able to passively tank it more or less?

urban portal
#

not rly

#

just need to dump a couple IP and have shield block up

#

its not easy but not hard

cinder nova
#

Idk that sounds passive tbh

urban portal
#

yeah you need your big defensives on the soak

cinder nova
#

My idea of active tanking is like week 1 H Sko

#

That was abuse

urban portal
#

Yeah

#

Skolex v well designed imo

Do you get anything for this one? Quite enjoyed spending a few hours doing 1-4 when they released

#

I enjoyed 1-4 but found that the power RNG got extremely annoying and it was often easier to just reset the instance than take a rough power/room 1 combo

i didnt reroll powers until layer 6 on week eone

I finally have 2 tier pieces

Some dummy train would help to maintain banner as much as possible? Or no point for it

I think i press buttons fast but still not enough

I should have learned piano

But i have fat fingers

silk edge

just go straight to dungeons

blazing condor
#

as well as intervene and charge weaving being harder

#

idk i tested dummies at first and it was way harder than actually doing m+

#

or maybe we dont actually gain rage from taking damage anymore idrk

either way shit was easier in m+ than on dummy

What trinkets are everyone running, right now im running the heroic Sylv trinket and a 246 scale, I just got a heroic first sigil but I think I’m sticking with the scale in m+ and swapping it for the sigil in most boss fights

a gcd or two

hard vessel
#

Hmm it's also only in bigger pulls with 10+ mobs, k maybe I just need to try harder

cinder nova
#

To be honest, you don't need Scale unless you're doing higher keys (20 and up) or you have no faith in your healer.

cinder nova
#

You're pushing TC less and less.

#

Also you're gonna want to make sure you aren't geeding and wasting Outburst by pressing Ava with one already active.

#

But if you chain them back to back, you'll have a third not far behind.

ruby locust
#

with legion time walking out is there any trinkets or anything i should try to farm out?

dawn canyon
#

fcm is a decent damage trinket for raifd

cinder nova

Whetstone is decent cleave

a decent defensive one?

I'm gonna guess sub 300

its about 4 % overall

cinder nova

But what's the absolute

ruby locust
#

looking at logs sec

#

yeah 200k XD

cinder nova

200 DPS?

ruby locust

its def not worth

Yeah that's not very much. My 233 sack does 460 on a good fight

its sadly all i got though

I mean, yeah. I'd try for Phial or FCM.

remote python
#

For m+ is it still kyrian or do we switch to maldraxus?

cinder nova
#

Either

#

NL is way tankier and frankly more fun

#

Kyrian has snap aggro

wild hemlock
#

i hope nf isnt memein. i really like nf for the slow influx of rage vs the rage from spear

lofty widget
#

nf/kyr just different shades of blue

wild hemlock
#

nf feels like playing a beginner piano song where kyr feels like motzart during your opener lmao

i agree kyrian feels like way too much rage, especially with LS Up

In m+ does everyone always kill the urh relic first?

depends, but usually yes

median tulip

90%+ of the time, yeah

vernal vale
#

In pugs I only really get Wo in streets and HoA

#

The DoS one is apparently hard so I never do that one with pugs.

rugged mural
#

I take Wo in SoA to get to third boss too. Urh isn’t very useful on that trash lieutenant

#

Vy almost never

hollow blaze
#

Any good tank trinkets or something to look out for in the legion dungeons?

lofty widget
#

nothing defensive, faulty countermeasure is good for pure ST, think whetstone is decent cleave as well

cinder nova
brave stirrup
#

When learning m+ with seasonal affix how do I know which affix everyone wants ? How do you manage that in a pug

cinder nova
#

Boss timers aren't just for your raid lead to use and scream at you

cinder nova
lofty widget
#

and if someone wants vy they can kill it themselves, it's not that big of a deal for us tbh

cinder nova
#

Every time I see vy it triggers me

#

Feels like such a huge waste

lofty widget
#

wo is more triggering

cinder nova
#

CDR is enormous

#

Wo isn't as bad because it's usually hell runs anyway

vernal vale
#

Vy in a trash pack just before boss so you get haste and can immediately kill urh with boss to have two different buffs.

lofty widget
#

wo gives you nothing tho, vy at least gives our best stat

cinder nova
#

Like

Well, we got Wo. Figure since we laced up our clownshoes a while back this officially makes it a circus.

vernal vale
#

Wo makes me so angry if not doing a skip

#

People apparently don't know how to focus

lofty widget
#

just send 1 or 2 outburst SS into uhr and it should die first every time

crystal iris
#

You should let the DPS deal with urh tho

#

because if they are monkeys they might rip aaggro off the main target if youre pumping into Urh

wild hemlock
crystal iris
#

no but its our fault if the melee gets slapped by boss becuase we didnt taunt

uncut notch
median tulip
#

make a macro "/tar urh"; works for both targeting the initial relic and the destructor

lofty widget
#

that doesnt really happen tho, we dont generate aggro with SS, thats what revenge is for

wild hemlock
#

i was just memein

vernal vale
#

The relics do practically 0 damage before triggered anyways

#

I will run in shield slam and then rotate to actual trash

median tulip
#

It's helpful to have the urh one die by us tho; makes it easier to pick the destructor up

vernal vale
#

Mark target 8 on urh to skull it

crystal iris
#

/target Urh Relic
/script SetRaidTarget("target", 8);

#

that will target it and mark with skull

Consume shield slam as soon as it’s up

Keep spending rage so you don’t overcap

#

Boom

chrome falcon
#

The set doesn't really add a ton of gameplay it shouldn't take much focus

The only time you need to actively think about it is when you're going to avatar so you don't double consume stacks

I definitely didn’t do that like 3x on rygelon

And then your avatar is coming up

Talking about ehrps

Even when I point at logs guild still says paladin is better.

#

You're talking to people who can't figure out how numbers work

vernal vale
#

True enough

cinder nova
#

Showing more numbers hoping it'll change them almost makes you the dumb one in that scenario

#

Almost

vernal vale
#

I was talking to another guild on our server. Possibly switching but it means I'll fury in raid.

cinder nova
#

Cursed

#

I refuse to raid DPS

vernal vale
#

Have to trial for a couple weeks too where they won't let me have gear which I always hate c

#

Limits you to personal drops and vault; but it is a better guild so there is that.

cinder nova
#

Can't blame them not wanting to funnel on an unsure bet

vernal vale
#

I'm gonna struggle to find a tank spot switching guilds.

vernal vale
#

Odds are in a full group I lose the roll anyways.

chrome falcon
#

if they give out their loot via roll then it's weird to even care about where the loot goes in the first place

#

the point of loot rules is to give that loot to your best players to benefit the group the most

cinder nova
#

They want their loot to stay in the group

#

People who they want and are showing up and performing

#

Not being particular about who it goes to is a means to keep a trial from pumping and dumping

vernal vale
#

Yeah, as long as they don't expect me to give up my drops I guess I don't really care. It's an old irritation from master looter/loot council where people would ninja shit.

#

Hell if I can get my foot in the door somewhere and have more fun there's always our weird season 4 to return to tanking raid.

#

So our paladin fell over a lot on livium last night. Are we just slow on the taunt?

#

That also being said I survived combo on my own after he died with shield wall and external.

chrome falcon
#

looks like you didn't taunt in time but that mechanic is a joke and should just be handled by popping big CDs and solo tanking

#

it's easier and safer that way

#

switching during it requires precise taunt timing and the circle moves during the combo

#

soloing it just requires you to press a cooldown, on mythic i survived every one with just shield wall

vernal vale
#

Okay, I was wondering. Thanks

#

It says to taunt for it on some guide since that's what kept being said by GM and pally.

lyric geode
#

Which bosses can be solotanked?

chrome falcon
#

objectively speaking if you taunt during you take less overall damage

#

but it's easy to fuck up the timing

#

so why not just reduce the chance of dying to 0%

mighty valley
#

god we have shield wall all the time now, I’m def not pressing it enough

vernal vale

yo i got that 84% shield block uptime

when i macroed block to slam

its kinda op

#

i was doing it to meme a key

vernal vale
#

I mean early on I macroed heroic strike into shield slam for gladiator stance.

#

It worked well enough for me to figure out the rest of the spec.

#

That being said shield block is a lot different

cinder nova
#

Ez

#

How is that precise

vernal vale
cinder nova
#

If you see the circle you taunt, that's the whole swap you got like 30 seconds of wind up on DBM to know it's coming

strong forum
#

#

Legit just circle=taunt

#

And ofc be away from others

chrome falcon
#

sure both ways are equally easy

#

i just think that soloing it reduces the risk of braindead melee

#

and you're literally never pressing shield wall if you're not pressing it there

That's enough to time most keys

Unless dps is legit abysmal

chilly brook
#

Enhance homie asked me before I just said fuck it I’m tanking if I had tanked 20s this season

#

He picked up another tank cuz it was no

#

Then I said fuck it I’m tanking when they wanted to do my key

#

He suddenly got annoyed when I said I’m going to bed afterwards

#

TLDR, don’t die. Get comfy.

#

Then do big pulls and funnel your dps the highest damage overall they’ve done

vernal vale

Just pull one pack after the other very little need to get fancy most of the time.

HoA is a tight timer if you dont use wo skip

chilly brook

HoA is a very lenient timer

vernal vale

That's the one I always have a hard time timing.

What's your route?

#

With wo or invisibility potion the timer becomes very lenient.

skipping to 2nd boss is giga standard

every scuffed 15 pug will do it

yeah

no reason you dont skip the courtyard

as long as one person who can rez had an invis pot or stealth lol

The number of failed runs I've had because people fail invisibility is way too high

People are stupid. I've only done a 16 in there as my highest. Least favorite this expansion.

cinder storm

In that range I would say, kill the encrypted pack with the tiny gargoyles last and shield slam the heck out of wo after telling them to focus so and marking it with a skull

chilly brook

go back to the right to do other halkias

#

kill some stuff around 1st boss

kill last shard

kill stuff in mid

do boss

come back kill wo that was with the small gargoyles by last shard

go zoom to 2nd boss

So for some tank basics like what's going on in dungeons and how it affects pulls (routing, what gives good percentage), is there a solid YouTube/twitch source? Basically I'm wanting to learn by watching so I have a decent grasp of what's going on in m+. I haven't touched the system all expansion and wanting to start

He does. Dorki is good content. What about yumtv (waffle cat YouTube creator)?

rigid flower

2set atm

chilly brook

still kinda low for 2 set

even with sanguine

rigid flower

highest overall I've done is 8.6k

What do you do to up it?

chilly brook

pull big

rigid flower

on sanguine

chilly brook

more revenge

more shield slam

more everything

I guess it's a trust issue

I didn't trust them to not keep stunning in the red

I mean, 4set is a big change

10-11k is easily doable with 264 and 2 set

that is acceptable

but then again I haven't tanked anything higher than like an 18 on this guy

you better not only be doing 8.6k while running seismic

if you're under 10k while running seismic......

you really aren't pressing your buttons

I'm sure I'm probably IP more than I need to cause I'm still getting used to outburst procs

I need to work on that as well cause I’m not revenging enough for sure

chilly brook

scuffed Mists

rigid flower

if wclogs app will ever open I'll compare mine, thanks

Cause overall weights look about the same

#

oh, wait, I think I see what's going on

It's probably not CPM at all

chilly brook
#

CPM is skewed in logs

rigid flower
#

I've been running bolster for the conduit

#

and cause, well, revenge lego

chilly brook
#

since it counts the whole dungeon and not just combat time

chilly brook
rigid flower
#

Yeah, fair. It's just fun to drown in rage every 2m

#

But it's high time I switched back to AM

chilly brook
#

avatar is literally such a short CD with AM

rigid flower
#

even more so with urh

#

so yeah, no contest there

chrome falcon
#

Running bolster is a crime

rigid flower
#

Yeah yeah, I just don't trust pug healers

#

Gotta smooth all that damage out or they say warriors are bad

chrome falcon
#

Shouldn’t cripple yourself by running bolster then

chilly brook
#

51 seconds or less on Avatar

chilly brook
#

lol

chrome falcon
#

Running seismic does SOMETHING at least

#

Bolster is actual dogwater

rigid flower
#

It's just... ugh, is reprisal actually better in dps?

chilly brook
#

does nothing to help when your concern is that you don't trust healers

chrome falcon
#

Not on baby easy keys

rigid flower
#

in aoe that is

chrome falcon
#

But when stuff actually starts hitting you

#

Reprisal means you can actually tank it

chilly brook
#

but it's 100% better overall

chrome falcon
#

And hit it

rigid flower
#

Yeah I feel it

#

just seems silly gameplay wise

chilly brook
#

its so much rage

#

and free revenge

#

and free shield block

brave stirrup
#

do you only drop heavy recup if you have at least 2pc?

rigid flower
#

Yeah it's excessive

chrome falcon
#

No

chilly brook
#

like sure it's "silly" if you never charge weaved in the first place (which btw you should be doing even without it)

chrome falcon
#

HR is also bad

#

The best time to stop playing HR was 9.1

#

The second best time is now

brave stirrup
#

ah ok, wowhead says AM with tier

chrome falcon
#

Then wowhead are stupid

chilly brook
#

No joke, some of my avatar casts are less than 30 seconds apart

chrome falcon
#

Reprisal basically negated the need for HE

#

HR

#

Unless you were pushing hard

chilly brook
#

26 seconds, 23 seconds, 29 seconds

#

this is nuts

lofty widget
#

even then it was kinda weird

brave stirrup
#

what about best served cold vs booming voice prior to tier?

mighty valley
#

BSC generally still the pick in keys but they seem v close

rigid flower
#

I guess my confusion with Reprisal Griff is that when I check parses our dps goes way down in higher keys

chilly brook
chrome falcon
#

Yeah but also go play a 21 with seismic and try not to shit your pants

chilly brook
#

higher keys last longer

#

which means damage goes down anyways

rigid flower
#

Ah, gotcha

chilly brook
#

like sure

mighty valley
#

reprisal is really not as weird to play as it maybe reads

chilly brook
#

I could run seismic and pad as much as I like

#

but also

#

I'm doing 12k in keys

#

while also being functionally immortal

chrome falcon
#

Playing reprisal is easy if you’re already charge weaving which you should be ALREADY doing

mighty valley
#

if you've got any melee intervene is just suddenly a "get SB and rage and free revenge" button with no other implications

chilly brook
#

Like playing necro and seismic is inting

#

reprisal is such a huge rage generation legendary

rigid flower
#

Yeah, as someone who's only done this game in this expansion the whole jump away and charge back in as a tank feels weird

chrome falcon
#

So don’t jump away

rigid flower
#

Except for kiting, of course

chrome falcon
#

You don’t have to

rigid flower
#

You just said I did

chilly brook
#

shockwave

#

strafe

mighty valley
#

you start noticing a ton of gaps where enemies stand still to cast etc

chilly brook
#

charge

chrome falcon
#

Run 2 feet away from the mob that’s casting wicked bolt

chilly brook

grave crane
chrome falcon
#

Seismic is bad

chilly brook
#

bosses also have tons of rooting in place and casting things

#

look for them and exploit them

chrome falcon
#

Every boss can be pretty easily charged on

rigid flower
#

Bosses in m+ not so worried about, it's cleave trash I'm concerned about

chilly brook
#

what cleave

chrome falcon
#

Trash that cleaves is not exactly a common problem

lofty widget
#

are there even any cleave mobs?

chilly brook
#

there's like 3 mobs

#

in the entirety of all dungeons

grave crane
#

The big boys in NW cleave I think the skull fear boys

mighty valley
#

well, outside of legion tw where it feels like they threw a frontal on just about everything

chrome falcon
#

It’s like, thrust in the 2 venthyr dungeons, one guy in NW, one guy in mists?

#

And most of those stand still while they cast their cleave

rigid flower
#

Guess it's just a practice thing then

chrome falcon
#

Yep

chilly brook
#

100% is

rigid flower
#

So... shockwave then strafe away?

chrome falcon
#

I don’t even do that

chilly brook
#

I used to be an anti-reprisal Andy when they reworked it in 9.0.5

lofty widget
#

or just walk out

chilly brook
#

now look at me

chrome falcon
#

Most packs will have a caster

#

Worst case you just don’t proc it for one or two packs

#

And intervene your melee instead

rigid flower
#

I mean, it does feel kinda wrong using intervene not to actually protect someone Griff

chrome falcon
#

No it’s not

#

Intervene is dogshit utility

rigid flower
#

But then again it's a barely used ability

lofty widget
#

wellll

chrome falcon
#

It’s so rare you can actually save anyone with it

chilly brook
#

How often do you get to do that?

rigid flower
#

outside of cutting the distance

lofty widget
#

it's situational

chilly brook
#

Like practically never

lofty widget
#

first boss necrotic it's actually a life saver

chilly brook
#

I can count on two hands the amount of times I've used intervene to help someone

#

and it's mostly been as arms

mighty valley
#

yeah prior to reprisal it was almost entirely just repositioning, something was usually going v wrong if someone else was getting meleed

rigid flower
#

Guess I'll have to get a token for a new lego then

mighty valley
#

i promise it's fun when you start getting used to it

#

more things to do

grave crane
#

I only used intervene in nathria on SLG when the big gargoyles pinned someone. Aside from that it’s to move back or just get a SB and revenge proc

rigid flower
#

Okay, now is there a trick to do the orbs on third boss spires or just tell people to soak for you

#

I'm assuming it's the latter

chrome falcon
#

Nope just soak them

lofty widget
#

chain defensives/call for externals

chrome falcon
#

You can have someone with an immune do it on higher levels

mighty valley
#

didn't we already have this conversation

chilly brook
#

Soak and pop shield wall after

lofty widget
#

like demo+SR into wall into SR

#

and a trinket

chilly brook
#

Not during the soaking process but after

chrome falcon
#

I pop small personals during the soaks

urban portal
#

the touch doesnt do damage right

#

its just the dot

chrome falcon
#

And when I have every stack I SW

#

And fleshcraft

#

If strictly needed

#

And you have a healer for a reason, nothing else is happening there so

distant crystal
#

but the dmg amp and my healer dmg! ratge

mighty valley
#

if you have a holy paladin they can just immune that shit and you can stay on boss dmg

rigid flower
#

Alright I'll try it again when I have the key. Been avoiding that dungeon on tyran cause I've died 100% of the time with all defensives used

chrome falcon
#

You’re probably popping too early

#

(And running seismic so you have less rage to IP)

rigid flower
#

good point

chrome falcon
#

(And running bolster which is so offensive that the game is probably punishing you)

rigid flower

Alright, I'll give it a shot later
