Vers is not as important as people make it out to be

mighty egret
#

haste and sprinkles of everything else

lunar merlin
#

Nah im at 20% ish amd doing 16/17s no problem so wanna stack more haste

median tulip
#

You're ahead of me

#

and yeah, I can tank mid-to-high teen keys without problems

lunar merlin
#

Ye its totally fine

#

Would you use faulty countermeasure whilst tanking with BSS?

median tulip
#

Shield Block is significantly more important than Vers

chrome falcon
#

Yeah vers is a very mediocre stat you shouldn’t be looking to get a certain amount or anything

median tulip
#

with what?

chrome falcon
#

Scale

median tulip
#

oh

chrome falcon
#

And no

median tulip
#

I don't use Scale

chrome falcon
#

No double on use

median tulip
#

I use double techniques

chrome falcon
#

Double on use makes both trinkets wors

lunar merlin
#

Thought so so scale codex for me

median tulip
#

I have a Scale; it's for if I need an on-use to ride a specific damage spike in a raid fight. I don't wear it in M+

#

but yeah... secret & first techniques for me. I'd consider an AFE, but the only one I have is low ilvl

lunar merlin
#

Scale is just a huge threat machine in m+ and a big absorb on trash

median tulip
#

Honestly, I have Fleshcraft, I'm not sure I need another big absorb on trash

lunar merlin
#

Ah ye im kyrian since 9.0 so not changing now haha

#

Spear ftw

median tulip
#

You should try Necro. I was a Kyrian advocate, but I tried Necro, and it's amazing

lunar merlin
#

Nah i just prefer self reliant rage generation etc for pugging

waxen ridge
#

Whats the take on Sepulchers Savior?

median tulip
waxen ridge
#

Thank you

median tulip
#

If it's your highest ilvl shield, use it

#

Don't stress too much either way about having it or not

waxen ridge
#

i have a 268 m+ shield and just have SS drop at 265.

median tulip
#

I'd stick with the 268

waxen ridge
#

Thank you for the input

lunar merlin
#

Stats are way better than the effect

#

Its such a mininal effect sadly

waxen ridge
#

i like the idea of on use but they should make it worth it\

median tulip
#

It's all about the block, 'bout the block

lunar merlin
#

The block isnt worth it either really though is the problen

queen willow
median tulip
#

Like I say, given equal ilvls I would raid with it

lunar merlin
#

No chance ive tested and its terrible, it doesnt give you pretty much anything. Stats way better

sacred timber
#

Im in the same boat

#

That was a +20 HoA

ocean yoke
#

mucho revenge and slams

sacred timber
#

then again there was like 9.8k sanguine healing cause fuck sanguine and having to run away but still

chrome falcon
#

You should not be needing scale to generate threat

#

Also yeah saviour is totally fine, I think it’s better in raid and a bit worse in m+

#

The idea that block isn’t worth anything is pretty excessive

#

But yeah if you’re using a whole trinket slot just for snap threat every 2 minutes when we already have ravager AND challenging shout

#

That’s not a good use of a trinket slot

sacred timber
#

I miss necrotic week ;-;

ocean yoke
#

wasnt paying attention and used ITF for a key instead of ravager the threat was much missed

chrome falcon
#

@lunar merlin if you prefer self-reliance and rage generation you should be playing necro

#

Like if you’re worried about pugs letting you down, why not play the covenant that makes you a shitload tankier

so uh

#

any of you guys obliterated people with 4p yet?

chilly brook
#

Nah

#

I know Matta has been for a while tho

uncut notch
#

It’s very broken and will get hard nerfed

#

Having a big oneshot burst is nothing new but I think the fact that it’s available in two global is why it’s a problem, banner, str pot, avatar, bang.

#

I didn’t bother with half the shit rextroy did for stat stacking and would just avatar and banner and even if you didn’t kill people they’d be so low you could execute them before they realised what’s happening

brazen yarrow
#

i mean

#

this isnt new for any class that isnt warrior

#

this expansion

urban portal
#

I mean you aren't exactly squishy either is the thing

timber dagger
#

it will be fun if 4 set bonus change into something like, avatar 10% dr/damage + you get 2set bonus, everytime you activate 2 set bonus, you get spell reflect for 3 seconds

#

warr tank no longer suffer from magic damage

#

:))

strong forum
#

That sounds extremely bandaidy

cinder dirge
#

Am I the only one thinking here that double legendary Necrolord made us stronger than actual 2 and 4 bonus set ?

#

It feels like the 4P is literally built around "Glory" leggo and you'd be a mad man to try to tank high keys without being NL

#

Instead of being the Double leggo being build around 4P
Does it make sense ? I'm sorry for bad English

strong forum
#

You're defo not mad for tanking as non-Necro in high keys

#

It's just a happy coincidence that they haven't nerfed glory for us and that it works so well together with tier

#

They did nerf it for fury warrior, we just aren't important enough

blazing condor
#

Blizzard dont know warriors have a tank spec too

hard vessel
#

Nah I mean they buffed us twice this patch

dusty gate
#

Would you guys recommend necrolord over Kyrian for someone exclusively pugging mythic +?

blazing condor
#

i was kyrian until i got 2p then went necro

#

feels real good

lime urchin
#

hello frens

dusty gate
#

I have 2 piece as well, might give it a try

lime urchin
#

maybe someone can point out some points where I can improve to get some higher dps?

blazing condor
#

and having banner up is nice

lime urchin
#

I wasted some rage, and I am not sure about the CPM

blazing condor
#

you have low revenge casts

#

and you overcap a lot of rage with shield slam

lime urchin
#

so maybe a lil more IP smashing before a shieldslammer?

lime urchin
#

uh oh, I dont know

jagged pier
#

So your not pressing buttons and your wasting the rage u dont have

lime urchin
#

yes, I was afraid so

#

what is that screenshot Jakey?

#

oh wasted rage

#

so, focus a bit more on not rage cappin with shieldslamming with IP, and more revenj?

#

and do more shieldslammin

#

and automaticly the CPM will go up

uncut notch

Not just click click dead

blazing condor

idk if its a mental block or unluck but i just cant time keys over 20s

o.o I've died to it in 0.4 seconds, Also died to feral version when they use stun->convoke.
~Also question, since I've not had it happen to me, if you get disarmed can you still shield slam?

lofty widget
#

you cannot

dawn canyon
#

So in a real game you wont get that oneshot through with half aware people

jagged pier
#

i mean they press a defensive, and your SS wont kill

I see a pwar i just take disarm and press my defensives and or call for sac and im finepeepo

hello, i have two questions, 1 of being being me running out of brainjuice....
Ignore Pain reduces all dmg taken, right? Magic dmg as well, right?
And regarding Conqueror's Banner/Necro ability, how big is the distance a person needs to be in order ot get the buff? Does the person need to be in the same group during raid, or can it be any raid member within that range?

forest fern
#

I believe the banner is the two closest members of the raid/party at the time of cast

sweet summit
#

closes 3 friendly players - regardless of party/raid
i think max range is like 20 yards or something, could be more but usually not something you need to keep in mind

forest fern
#

does it actively update as they move closer or further from it, or is it an on cast selection, i have no xp with it was just reading the tooltip 🙂

tardy lily
#

i dont think that it is an "aura", that's at least my guess

#

also thanks for the answers :D

forest fern
#

ahkay that's what i figured, so make sure the people you want to have it are close when you cast it etc then who cares

#

well yeah true, I guess just when he mentioned raids maybe it is something you would on occasion want to try optimise with the cooldowns of other nearby players

#

though the benefit isn't probably worth the hassle

#

well i more meant, "hey you're a melee class and you benefit insanely from your mastery, stand closer to me right....now!"

dapper fjord
#

Why is everyone necro in M+. My feelycraft told me fae was the best covenant.

#

For both dps and survivability.

sweet summit
#

big fuck mastery huge uptime+fleshcraft good

blazing condor
#

Fleshcraft nice but most casts i just kinda tap it for the buff

#

At least in cb

#

Maybe worth to hardcast every now and then tho idrk

How strong is our 4pc compared to our 2pc? Felt a massive survive and dps increase since I got 2pc this week

wispy tapir
#

The 4p just makes everything even better. More outbursts esp playing Anger Management. It’s a lot of fun.

vernal vale
quick elk
#

How liberal are ppl using shield wall? was thinking i probably dont use it enough , especially with the rage gen from 4 set. but then its only 8 seconds and feel like really just there to save for either a tank buster or give SB time to recharge ?

chrome falcon
#

it has like no cooldown so yeah you don't really have to hold it

#

just let it rip

#

obviously that's only in m+

#

in raid you should know when you're going to use SW every pull

dawn canyon
#

think "do i need it next pull" if not you can generally use it

quick elk
#

when will 8 seconds of 50% DR be a life saving, i think maybe i maybe underselling sw. but most pulls last like 45-60 seconds . 8 seconds seem a bit short.

blazing condor
#

so feel free to use it

#

i could defo use it more though

quick elk
#

are there some pulls you can point out so i can get my head around it

chrome falcon
#

50% DR is literally THE most DR you can get in the entire game

blazing condor
#

yeah its crazy good

#

tier 13 where it was a raid external too hopium

chrome falcon
#

I mean if you're only doing low keys then yeah you could do the whole key without ever pressing it

#

Any time you die in a key it's normally going to be 100->0 within 8 seconds I can't really tell you when to use it

#

Just use it when you're taking a lot of damage so you take less damage

quick elk
#

yeah, have a think. normally you need to know before you take the dmg to use it. ill do some more keys to get a better feel for it. thanks all

blazing condor
#

i still got this in my bank

#

idk if i should tell someone about this?

#

Do The Wall legendary and AM work additive? 🤔 i know reprisal is better but i wanna first get used to all the other stuff before i minmax reprisal with the jumping out and charging back in etc. to keep uptime on SB

strong forum
#

Ofc they work together

#

They're 2 entirely independent ways of reducing SW CD

#

1 is with pressing shield slam
the other is with spending rage

tardy lily
#

nice, thank you :)

quick elk

It's a really really short cooldown if you're rage cycling properly

How often are you guys using last stand?

Pretty much on CD

mental scarab
#

Last stand is a dps cd with ravager yep spam that revenge

cerulean wyvern
#

Makes sense. Thanks!

#

I don’t normally tank anything, but when I do tank I want to maximize dps and survivability.

#

Is necrolord the play for raid? What about for m+. Mix between kyrian and necro?

blazing condor

with tier its great

Run some keys with a OCE group to gauge how bad the lags gonna be and make a decision from there

now if i have wow and shadowlands do i need to buy eu version

blazing condor

Start over or continue on.

Good internet and a decent computer playing at 300latency is doable.

I lived in a small town with shit internet for years played with 300-1000 ms consistantly and still did well.

ebon geyser

thing is if the situation is i need toplay eu i think i should start already

vernal vale

Just have to be really solid in knowing how to play spec and know the fights.

Stopping 5s sometimes is the difference between timing a key or not, take 5s to mark right side of the boss, tell ranged to stack there and once you take the boss, move him to the corner so it's tail is touching the water, that boss is way to ez without melees, if you take one just tell them to also stack on the boss side

the TC outbursts hit different

#

forbidden fruit

errant wagon
#

Do yall run Best Served Cold or Booming Voice for row 3 of talents once you have tier?
Focusing on M+ performance...
My intuition tells me Booming Voice to amplify upfront damage in a pull once Avatar is used, but I'm unsure.

blazing condor
#

you go Booming Voice because of the rage gain

#

so you can funnel your outburst and banner uptime

errant wagon
#

Kyrian 😛

blazing condor
#

well outburst then

errant wagon
#

but i have been intrigued in banner it sounds fun

blazing condor
#

it's pretty fun

errant wagon
#

Is the DPS output comparable/better if you are good at sustaining it?

#

or is it more about the greater good of the team

#

(or both)

Cool cool. Thanks to both of you 🙂

chilly brook
blazing condor
#

gotem

errant wagon
#

Another thing... I'm also having trouble finding answers on what to spend Outburst on in regards to multi-target pulls in M+.
Is there a turning point where you would rather spend outburst on Thunder Clap over Shield Slam in regards to pull size?

#

Or like if you have avatar up, it empowers thunder clap, so do you focus spending on that

blazing condor
#

because the rage gained will net you more damage in form of revenge

#

than the damage of TC

errant wagon
#

Aye aye cap'n

#

If you time things really poorly, like you just used shield slam, then gained outburst sitting on a 4 second shield slam CD

#

is it better to wait or just spend on TC

blazing condor
#

tip is to use TC when you're at like 6/7 stacks

#

so it's on CD

true lmao

vernal vale
#

We are only 7/11 heroic because they wanted more normal clears. For 4p. Which I advocated was a waste of time.

#

Tier was the only potential help from normal for those of us who where not raid logging.

sturdy sable
#

I mean pre creation catty it was not a waste of time

sage yacht
#

hmm that’s debatable, my guild still did normal until like 2 weeks ago now we still clear hc tier bosses

#

but rn with creation catalyst it be a waste

vernal vale
#

The problem is most people had tier.

sage yacht
#

yea

vernal vale
#

But the gm wanted everyone to have 4p

sage yacht
#

and it also really depends how fast youre clearing through it

sturdy sable
#

Well if pally had 4p hed be atleast judging every 3s

#

Might be enough to hold threat

vernal vale
#

Pally had 4piece 2 weeks ago.

#

According to paladin discord he's just bad.

sage yacht
#

he is

#

aint no way hes losing threat to a prot warrior

vernal vale
#

Yeah, that was my thought but they didn't believe me. Hence why I went to paladin discord.

#

Then screenshot and linked that conversation to the entire guild.

chrome falcon
#

you have to be next level bad to lose aggro as paladin

sturdy sable
#

I mean

chrome falcon
#

just press judgement

sturdy sable
chrome falcon
#

i hit 2 50k shield slams in 2 globals and my co-tank still held threat it's really not that hard

sage yacht
vernal vale
#

Just hoping to find a new guild soon at this point.

sturdy sable
#

I mean my 250 ppal does like 6k in st with no tier and kyrian

vernal vale
chrome falcon
#

no shot

sturdy sable
#

Thems CN numbers

#

Was he doing like less then 1k in CN?

vernal vale
#

I have no idea. I was even more casual in CN to raid with my wife and give her a chance to play.

chrome falcon
#

3k is insane

#

i don't even know how you do 3k

#

that's like... auto attacks and consecrate

vernal vale
#

Don't push buttons that's how

chrome falcon
#

man isn't pressing his buttons

#

can you link his logs or something i could use a laugh

vernal vale
#

Yeah, sure

#

I know I played bad this week.

#

Was too focused on the new 4p

#

He did do better than I thought but the fact that I took threat he is still doing something wrong.

#

He also apparently has no survival buttons for livium combo. Fell over 3 times on that fight. I was slow on taunt but I never died taking it solo.

frosty ridge
ocean yoke
#

i feel like you should have more than 5 casts of consecrate as a prot pally

ocean yoke
#

just a hunch tho

vernal vale
#

But I play warrior. Warrior is not meta. So how could I know anything about paladin.

ocean yoke
#

true youre an idiot for playing it ofc

chrome falcon
#

he cast ashen once on your lihuvim kill

#

and it did 12k damage?

#

that's one tick of ashen

#

holy shit you're right

#

he doesn't cast consecrate

#

does he know that that's one of his most important spells?

vernal vale
#

I don't think so.

ocean yoke
#

if only you were kyrian hed die less sadge

vernal vale
#

Hopefully you got your laugh @chrome falcon

chrome falcon
#

wait i'm not crazy right

#

consecrate is prot paladin mastery right

ocean yoke
#

its only a little bit core to their surviving

chrome falcon
#

it's like one of their most important spells?

frosty ridge
#

they need to stand in it. just a bit

ocean yoke
#

only a big perma dr no biggie

vernal vale
#

Hell if you got your laugh out of my play I'll call it a success.

chrome falcon
#

he's casting consecrate over 9 minutes less than i cast intervene over 2

ocean yoke
#

ive looked for about 1.5 minutes and im losing count of problems

vernal vale
chrome falcon
#

this is criminal behaviour

ocean yoke
#

and none of them are you

chrome falcon
#

he cast guardian zero times on lihuvim

#

this dude could play on a controller and lose 0 effectiveness

#

he's pressing like 4 buttons

ocean yoke
#

on halondrus he cast flash of light more than consecrate lol

chrome falcon
#

and HOW do you only do 12k damage with ashen hallow on a 9 minute fight

frosty ridge
#

if you rip aggro from him, maybe it will be a wake up call to read a guide. some people are motivated like that. unless RL intervenes and says you're the problem.

vernal vale
#

Paladin is an officer. So he's not the problem. I'm being told not to play optimally. Hence the search for a new guild.

ocean yoke
#

honestly is he a clicker?

chrome falcon
#

^

#

i'm genuinely wondering this

#

doesn't explain 12k damage from ashen though

vernal vale
#

Lol, clickers still exist I guess.

#

Might explain a few things.

dawn canyon
#

Pala tank is so easy in raid

#

I cannot comprehend

#

How can you not have ur shit seramore

chrome falcon
#

honestly just direct him to this channel so we can all point and laugh (probably don't do this)

dawn canyon
#

Issue is if you point at it they might be snappy and not want to improve

vernal vale
#

He onky logs on for raid. I doubt he would go to the paladin discord if I told him too.

vernal vale
ocean yoke
#

it does show in his lowest ilvl

vernal vale
#

He has run 0 m+

ebon geyser
dawn canyon
#

Guild better off with a new tank

vernal vale
#

Even our most casual m+ people do a few mid range ones and upgrade with valor

vernal vale
blazing condor
#

not doing m+ is very int tbh

ocean yoke
ocean yoke
#

but finding tank spots is definitely a bitch and a half if youre wanting to jump right in as it

vernal vale
vernal vale
chrome falcon
#

i actually don't think it would help

frosty ridge
#

I'd focus on fundamentals first. like pressing buttons. any buttons

ebon geyser
chrome falcon
#

what's he gonna do, get a bunch of mastery and then never use it because he unbound consecrate?

#

if you prog raid at any level and don't do m+ you're trolling your raid group

ocean yoke
#

needs to get to 17.486% vers ofc or he will be one shot

blazing condor
#

tfw only have 17,399%

ocean yoke
vernal vale
dawn canyon
#

Pwar owns

#

You get your good guild

frosty ridge
vernal vale
#

Been denied to a couple guilds who are melee heavy already. Tank spots are practically impossible mid tier.

frosty ridge
#

some guilds are willing to 'upgrade' their tank spot, so never hurts to ask. I've yoinked another tank's spot mid tier like that before.

blazing condor
#

id be pissed lol

frosty ridge
#

sure. whatever. it's about if they want prog or not.

#

obviously if they're all friends they won't kick a guy

chrome falcon
#

you gotta be absolute dogshit to get replaced as a tank mid-tier

#

like insanely bad

frosty ridge
#

not dogshit, just mediocre

#

that what was the tank I replaced

#

meh

#

got the job done, but they wanted better

ebon geyser
chrome falcon
#

i'd keep a mediocre co-tank over a better new one

vernal vale
#

Yeah, ill get in as dps and then tank m+ to prove I'm not awful. Then ill look at tanking again in the future.

ocean yoke
#

we lost like 2 weeks in nathria getting through council because my vdh cotank just could not kite the gargoyle somehow

frosty ridge
ebon geyser
#

is what im doing im still in normal and most ppl i know are in heroic /m

#

but i dont do that shit of dps or heal

ocean yoke
#

seriously. it was incredibly frustrating

#

we swapped a dps to vdh and we killed council like the next night

vernal vale
#

I've only met like one good DH tank

ocean yoke
#

wouldve killed sludge next week but i broke my arm and delayed our prog lol

#

got it next one tho

frosty ridge
ocean yoke
#

mucho hard to hit buttons with a splint on

frosty ridge
#

I meant they broke your arm. bad joke

ocean yoke

i was considering it after all that time on council tbh

Is this paladin your lead?

Selfish as fuck to hold back guild like that idk man

Oh Damekage are you still with that guild?

I remember you posted here a minute back about that situation

Dawg Ima keep it a stack with you

Was in a similar situation twice before

sometimes we bite our tongue in order to see content or progress i know i have done it

It will fucking devour your time, fun, and mental health if you let it

ebon geyser

we are literally miserable to the point of dying inside and we still smile and wave

are you just talking about dpsing while waiting for a tank spot

#

or some other toxicity

vernal vale
ebon geyser
#

i have exp both waat but idk about damekage

waxen orbit

Any guild that still uses "main tank" terminology is stuck in 2008

This guy's only the main of a fucking wheelchair

What's the median age in your raid officer corp

wtf game is that

waxen orbit

Boomer raids are so ego-heavy and mechanically weak

frosty ridge

where do you mine oofium ore lol

dawn canyon

That guild

For example

cinder nova
#

Yeah

ebon geyser
#

dang @vernal vale and i have been looking for guilds around my age and that guild seem to be around my ballpark but if at that age thats the behavior...

frosty ridge
cinder nova
#

Only truly toxic guilds I've seen are Boomers upset they're wrong

vernal vale
cinder nova
#

I've been in loads of guild prog pugs

#

Every time it's been an issue, it's been a boomer at the helm

grave crane

one day we will have the guilds that dont log only for raids have healthy pop and do raids and m+ and theres always ppl online

if RL tells you not to press Shield Slam, that's pretty quick gquit imo

Why would they say not to press shield Slam lol

Alright gotta read up on this

What’s the pally name btw

is he forgetting righteous fury? peepohide

frosty ridge
ebon geyser

run in venthyrcrate, consecrate ,wings spam shit that glows

Yeah don't feel a compulsion to get the last word in, explain yourself, these people are already closed out to rapport. Just say that you want to find a new guild, thank them for their time, split.

ocean yoke
ebon geyser
grave crane
#

Alright pump the breaks while I read the lore on this guy

cinder nova
#

If they wanna get salty, oh well

frosty ridge
#

I would run double dps trinkets and just pump damage on that pally until his eyes bleed

ebon geyser
#

i mean i also was a pally main and i stop playing on the first boss in battle just because i had a panic attack

#

and then roll monk

sturdy sable

Tatermuscles is gonna be infamous

i still suk...but less

cinder nova

Yoyoyo lads I'm not a mod but Idk if it's the good move to dog out the dude's co-tank's logs

Double DPS trinkets is based

Oof

i refuse to abandon my sacred 259 OWS

Alright lads, I'm about to get on a bus to get back to the mainland

also i havent gotten any other dps trinkets drop sadge

I hope you find something that reinvigorates you

I've been in raids where one tank has orange logs and the other grey and there wasn't aggro problems

ocean yoke

yeah the right guild is a game changer i was about to quit when i found my current team

amber herald

but they weren't a pally/warr combo

ebon geyser
amber herald

kek

frosty ridge
ocean yoke
#

theyre 100s they just go to a different school

dawn canyon

So not that good keks

vernal vale
#

I'm hoping to find a good place to go. Don't want to be guildless though as I do want to do the raid.

ebon geyser
#

show him those logs of mine @vernal vale tell him to beat me

dawn canyon
ebon geyser
#

stupid wow

#

tell him to be me

dawn canyon
#

Huge

ebon geyser
#

when i was good

vernal vale

Lol

dawn canyon
#

I played my pala like i was drunk

pliant sage
#

I'm still figuring out how to log. I think I have the pieces just not the ability to put them together.

dawn canyon
amber herald
#

it seems like he's pressing his buttons too so how the hell is he not holding aggro

pliant sage
amber herald
#

yeah but he's green logging against a purple that should be enough lol

#

it's not like a pink log vs a grey

ebon geyser
#

a 21 in prototype where you should be aoeing all da things

amber herald
#

yeah could be bop

#

or the other one

dawn canyon
#

Or a trolling hpal

frosty ridge
pliant sage
#

I know I have the in-game addon, settings, and the app downloaded. I'm sure the derp is behind the keyboard not in the machine

amber herald
#

it's a 1.3k dps difference really not that large

grave crane
#

Well that was a fun read. But god damn that’s rough bud

ebon geyser
#

i think i know what the problem is, he is a lightforge goat instead of a human and his mog is a sin to paladins. simple there

vernal vale
pliant sage
#

Xmog is 1k dps

grave crane
#

Mog is like 3k dps on its own. Tell him to up his drip

amber herald
#

agreed, the boss is so disgusted by his mog he refuses to hit him

vernal vale
#

Hahaha

dawn canyon
#

Screenshot?

#

I cant check it since phone

ebon geyser
#

tell him if he wanna play a priest go and play one but paladin wear armor

grave crane
#

I know priests trust our damage him in our raid

#

That out damage him *

vernal vale
#

I'm using the WoD challenge mode shield.

dawn canyon
#

In a nude mog

ebon geyser
#

also send him to see sloot play in twitch , sloot is a solid paladin

dawn canyon
#

Am i guessing correctly

ebon geyser
#

no

dawn canyon
#

I wish

#

They wont let us play mankini

#

I wanna be Borat sadge

amber herald
#

if it's halondrus he's probably forgetting to taunt

#

and won't own up to it

scenic mural
#

Im just now catching up@on the pally, why does he not do any m+ at all?

vernal vale

^

pliant sage

How can you be a raid logger in Shadowlands? There's so much crap to do

scenic mural
#

Like the biggest gimp to yourself

chrome falcon

like i said

#

trolling your guild

scenic mural
#

Dude is below bottom shelf

#

Id left the guild instantly

ebon geyser

me a raid logger toopeepohide

chrome falcon

if you do 0 mythic+, especially as a tank, you're a bad raider even if you're a decent player

vernal vale
grave crane
#

Yo our warrior keeps ripping aggro from the MaIn TaNk. Stop shield slamming for 50k obviously

ebon geyser
#

whats does the 4 set do for them

#

also i blame all of you , i have been here and not played at all

pliant sage
#

Chance to cast judgement equal to block

#

On all damage sources with an icd of a few seconds

grave crane
#

Tell him to try ret no tanking required

#

Have to press buttons to do dam

pliant sage
#

Tell him to add taunt to his rotation?

#

6/15 sec of it hitting him

ebon geyser
grave crane
#

He’s not consecrating why would he taunt just tell the warrior to do less damage

pliant sage
#

He's not consecrating? Tf

frosty ridge
#

even if he taunts, do you think he'll put anything into taunt window? not even consecrate

pliant sage
#

Consecrate is like a core soec feature of paladins. It's part of the reason they are so bad at movement

#

I'm just flabbergasted at this ....tank

Oh so hes jaina/kadgar

@vernal vale making me undelete my paladin and show him what a ok paladin look like

#

lol

urban portal
#

Are we still shitting on his cotank

sturdy sable
#

Its not like warriors are known for their mobility or anything

chrome falcon
#

horse is trash

sturdy sable
ebon geyser
#

agree horde is trash

chrome falcon
#

well @urban portal no-one else has come in to randomly tell us the 4pc is terrible without even having it which is the usual entertainment for this time of night

#

so there's nothing else to do

vernal vale
sturdy sable
#

We are like starving sharks just waiting for something lol

urban portal
#

I zee

#

Anyways

#

Dying in raid is a kekw

#

Even in mythic

sturdy sable

#

If you die to tank it that isn't skolex its your fault

frosty ridge

hey skolex 1 shot me

@vernal vale i blame u for not doin shit tday LOL

sturdy sable
#

I mean... I dont recommend protection to anyone and i main it lmao

pliant sage
#

I'm here to learn from y'all because I still play Prot wrong. But I'm getting better with help

vernal vale
#

I'm traveling for Easter. I got nothing better to do but sit in warrior discord until my phone dies.

pliant sage
sturdy sable
#

HA

#

I mean if he isnt concentrating he probably wouldnt like intervene/charge for reprisal

#

Its not as good as horse

ebon geyser
pliant sage
vernal vale
#

That's what he attempted because and I quote. "It moves the boss"

ebon geyser
#

if he tell u play wall u tell him play monk

urban portal
#

Prot war is just that powerful clearly

vernal vale
#

Told him he can tell me how to warrior when he plays it.

pliant sage
#

With how he's playing Paladin with monk having extremely passive mitigation in the form of stagger actually be a bad thing?

urban portal
#

Monk actually isn't passive in raid

pliant sage
urban portal
#

Not as passive as paladin

frosty ridge
#

I mean, he'll still fuck it up. there's chi stacks, CB timings

#

my bet is he has default UI and doesn't track anything. he needs like a basic WA pack to track consecrate

pliant sage
#

I mean what the healers prefer to heal the dot off of stagger or the non-consecrated paladin?

ebon geyser
#

i bet hes a clicker

sturdy sable
#

I raided with a clicker

frosty ridge
vernal vale
sturdy sable
#

She got CE Ghuun

#

Was actually pretty decent

frosty ridge
urban portal
#

Does he not cast cons

sturdy sable
#

Nope

sturdy sable
#

Why would he? Hes obviously in for the carry

hard vessel
ebon geyser
#

imagine using dmb instead of chad wigs

frosty ridge
#

clicking is objectively bad, come on

#

on a tank?

sturdy sable
#

Yeah but its notnlike this game is hard

frosty ridge
#

it's not about hard. it's about gimping yourself for no reason

pliant sage
hard vessel
#

Ofc is giga ass too click, but if imagine a 23s playing clicker would not click, this guy could go for world first keys

sturdy sable
#

Ngl i clicked taunt till like last year

#

Been tanking since vanilla

pliant sage
#

I clicked any cool down that's longer than a minute.

frosty ridge
sturdy sable
#

Lmao

#

I mean in raid you taunt at very specific times

#

M+ of those dps rip threat then that mob becomes a them problem

pliant sage
#

So on a slightly different topic what do you all think are the chances of getting a tank Shaman in 10 point. I know it's not zero but it should be very close

sturdy sable
#

1-0%

#

I think wed get a new class that can tank before they let shammys tank

#

But that new class should be mail

#

For the love of god

#

Stop adding leather classes please

pliant sage
#

Yeah but I can hope. I've been wanting Shaman tank since I got to taunt the ads on nefarian in progress way back in Cata.

vernal vale
pliant sage
sturdy sable
#

Shammys could tank low dungeons back in the day

pliant sage
#

Am I humble opinion every class should have four specs with Hunter Warlock and Shaman getting a tank spec

frosty ridge

In my* I'm using voice to text and it sucks

I mean I'm biast to glad stance

median tulip
frosty ridge
#

only if it's off gcd

pliant sage
#

The biggest problem with gladiator stance is its APM

vernal vale
sturdy sable
#

Just macro heroic strike to scroll wheel

vernal vale
#

What about it's APM

frosty ridge
#

that was my literal keybind for heroic strike

dawn canyon
#

Thats a good thing, no?

pliant sage
#

I'm having issues with the APM of keeping banner up right now as Necro. I either have to rethink my key binds or rethink what I'm doing

frosty ridge
#

mwheel up

vernal vale
#

I wanted it to be faater

median tulip
sturdy sable
#

Probably throw in shield slam more as well

pliant sage
#

Got the b made so that should help rage gen to make it easier.

frosty ridge
pliant sage
#

Then after reset I got honored so I don't have to touch Torghast ever again. Cleared my first layer 10 tho and kept getting slapped down on gauntlet layer 3.

vernal vale
#

Mouse with 21 buttons

#

Logitech g600

#

Problem solved.

pliant sage
frosty ridge
#

I have like 6. you don't need a lot

frosty ridge
pliant sage
#

I have 8 and shift binds of those 8. And I think it has side buttons? Not sure I don't use them

frosty ridge
#

those are gold buttons

#

premium real eastate

pliant sage
#

If I can bind them it may be useful.

frosty ridge
#

I use side buttons for any movement on tanks. like charge, intervene, and shift+same one to invervene to my focus

pliant sage
#

I have the same issue with resto shaman, I want like 4 DPS abilities on it and already have all my known binds on healing/utility spells.

frosty ridge
#

mouse buttons is key

#

of course the best is to have off gcd stuff there

#

so your rotation continues

#

with left hand

pliant sage
#

So priority when I get in is figuring out what I derped with logging, seeing if binds will help impact of APM, and trying to do some m0s to see mythic mechanics outside of a video.

distant crystal
#

trying and failing is the best

#

log your runs

frosty ridge
#

recording you play also helps, not just logs but videos

distant crystal
#

review them in parts where you died or otherwise things went wrong

pliant sage
#

I need a new PC before I can record runs. Logging is what I have access to for a while

distant crystal
#

ya video is great

pliant sage
#

I'm using a bad gen i3, it's like 6 years old rn

frosty ridge
#

my pc is like 7rs old. I've been recording my stuff since WoD

#

doesn't take much

vernal vale
#

OBS is farely low resource intensive on your computer

frosty ridge
#

yeah OBS is great

vernal vale
#

My old PC was able to record and it was 11 years old.

pliant sage
#

I think the biggest thing is that my read/write to hard drive is manual instead of solid state so it's getting capped. I know I can't have chrome or overwolf open while wow is running

lyric geode
#

Best trinkets for m+?

vernal vale
#

Codex too

lyric geode
#

Is codex good? I feel it is quite random.

vernal vale
#

Codex preforms better in harder content

#

It's in the pins better explained

#

You could chase countermeasure from Vault of the Wardens Timewalking m+ but it's better single target than trash

lyric geode
#

I feel the trinket from the eye of azshara quite powerful too.

dawn canyon
#

Aegis better

lyric geode
#

It feels like the kael thalas trinket

dawn canyon
#

Cheat deaths generally are bad

vernal vale
#

Better defensive options from the current content over the eye one

dawn canyon
#

Either you use them as a crutch for improper play

#

Or you arent procing it and thus have a dead slot

lyric geode
#

I see.

dawn canyon
#

If you are deliberately procing it in high end content then its the pick

lyric geode
#

So spam streets?

dawn canyon
#

However this raid does not have one

grave crane
#

I like aegis but never got the heroic one which was annoying with how often we cleared it

vernal vale
dawn canyon
#

Tbf i used to be one of those people but my rl convinced me otherwise

lyric geode
#

I still play with kaelthalas trinket of 213 ilvl

dawn canyon
#

Ex-rl sadge

#

That's bad

#

Damage loss

vernal vale
dawn canyon
#

keks skill issue on their part

lyric geode
#

Codex healing is quite unpredictable. I mean, what is the point of it, all damage must be in the zone of control.

#

That is why I am thinking that eye of azshara is better option than it.

vernal vale
#

Nomerater gave this explination

lyric geode
#

Well, streets trinket, then DoS trinket.

#

Got it.

#

Is there some legion gear that has more value than SL gear?

vernal vale
#

Faulty is best damage trinket we can get.

#

Auto attacking ring is good for protection warrior too?

#

Critical is a bit of lackster in m+

#

Auto attack ring Sims well for me. 2% better than any current content rings.

lyric geode
#

I mean, a bit more versatility wouldnt hurt

vernal vale
#

Crit is good because more damage in m+

lyric geode
#

Why not gambit ring and necrotic ring?

Versatility has less value than one would assume. It's good yes but it requires a huge amount of the Stat to really equal any significant damage reduction.

20% of versa is quite powerful

vernal vale
#

The big value is that it's a hybrid Stat doing damage and giving mitigation value

This is a common one as well

I've dropped verse since patch and haven't noticed the difference

The vers stan

Good play will outperform getting more verse

#

Every few days we gotta teach this lesson to someone

#

But good play requires stuns and interupts from bolts and mitigation of magic dmg

Taking 10% less damage from a wicked bolt wont save your life

If I get my 4p would I notice a significance?

Because they should be kicked in the first place
