why do you even want all the stats balanced that's such a pointless exercise

#

perfect balance isn't a good thing it's boring as fuck

toxic pewter
#

Can still pursue the stats enjoy playing with more without feeling you are 'missing out'

median tulip
#

My second-highest secondary after Haste nowadays is Mastery. I feel it works pretty well

chrome falcon
#

the only stat that's "enjoyable" to play with is haste because it's the only one you notice what

toxic pewter
#

maybe people enjoy a more slow prot playstyle

#

and want no haste at all

chrome falcon
#

?????????????????????

waxen orbit
#

They must enjoy the floor too

toxic pewter
#

I just figured out how to balance it actually

#

remove haste from the game

urban portal
#

this would be absurdly boring

chrome falcon
#

wow you're a real fountain of good ideas

toxic pewter
#

haste is actually a curse to most specs I realized

waxen orbit
toxic pewter
#

Going to submit feedback to blizz now

chilly brook
#

stats don't matter

urban portal
#

and this is why people dont take feedback seriously

chilly brook
#

I've played with low haste and I've played with high haste

toxic pewter
#

Haste should never actually been introduced I realized

chilly brook
#

it literally doesn't matter

waxen orbit
#

We’re not outlaw rogues, we prio prim stat > anything else

urban portal
#

theres no class where 2ndary>primary

toxic pewter
#

Lol

urban portal
#

even outlaw wants primary

median tulip
#

Haste does matter. Protection Warrior with less than 20% Haste was like having my fingernails pulled out by a demonically possessed keyboard

chilly brook
#

imagine wanting haste removed

toxic pewter
#

Right - that is an inherant issue with the spec

chilly brook
#

yikes from me

toxic pewter
#

Haste is a giant band aid

chilly brook
#

???

#

bruv

toxic pewter
#

I will not sleep until haste is removed

median tulip
#

Good luck with that

chilly brook
#

I did like all of CN, all of Uldir, all of EP with low levels of base haste

#

it

#

doesn't

#

matter

toxic pewter
#

Its like I am talking to a bunch of 'speed' freaks rn lmao

mighty valley
#

someone is trolling and someone is being trolled at this point and i have no idea who or what or why or when

toxic pewter
#

relax.. .u all will get ur haste fix

urban portal
#

people like pressing more buttons than less

grave crane
#

Rage is useless and should be removed

urban portal
#

no one likes playing arms

#

for that reason

mighty valley
#

remove gear, it's borrowed power

chrome falcon
#

yeah i dunno when apb started trolling because his original thesis was that all stats should be balanced and i think he was serious about htat one

chilly brook
#

if you want to talk about bandaid fixes

#

then remove reprisal

urban portal
toxic pewter
#

I am actually not trolling- all you losers freaking out just proves my point

chilly brook
#

and give us a way to extend shield block or have more shield block

median tulip
#

./s

grave crane
#

I’m too focused on getting hit by shit

lofty widget
#

we kinda are, arent we

urban portal
#

however different class have different prios changes the feel of the character

#

the spec

toxic pewter
#

haste is crummy design and I realized it is the main issue with modern wow

urban portal
#

fury values haste mastery so its fast

grave crane
#

We should use astral power like boomies

urban portal
#

arms value crit because its supposed to have hard swings

urban portal
#

amirite boys

median tulip
toxic pewter
#

It is actually #1

odd tree
#

arms doesn't use haste, you'd have to remove crit which would super break the spec

median tulip
chilly brook
#

the one stat that actually impacts how things work is the problem with wow

#

ok lol

mighty valley
#

apb is crummy design

chrome falcon
#

i can almost understand where he's coming from

ebon geyser
#

What a day.. I miss u guys too keksquad

toxic pewter
#

Based on all you attacking me, it is something that should be talked about thats for sure

chrome falcon
#

specs should play quickly and smoothly without needing a stat to do it

chilly brook
toxic pewter
#

or maybe I hit the nail on the head?

median tulip
toxic pewter
#

Imagine if i said to remove vers

waxen orbit
toxic pewter
#

no one would attack me

chrome falcon
#

yeah

#

because vers sucks

#

and is boring

lofty widget
#

because vers doesnt have an effect on how your class plays

chrome falcon
#

?

toxic pewter
#

this is because vers is fine

#

haste is overvalued and overrepresented

chrome falcon
#

yeah i dunno you guys are all just getting trolled

toxic pewter
#

haste is actually bad for the game

chrome falcon
#

please touch 1 (one) blade of grass then come back

chilly brook
# toxic pewter or maybe I hit the nail on the head?

this is like you're uncle joe saying that the reason our gas prices are so high is because of daddy putin instead of the fact that joey boi closed off the oil pipeline and changed us from being an exporter to an importer

mighty valley
#

this is actually how game design works. everyone gets in a room and gets really mad at one guy. that guy's ideas are correct

chrome falcon
#

oh boy now griff is getting political

ebon geyser
chrome falcon
#

i'm going to go parse

#

i can't handle this

chilly brook
median tulip
#

@toxic pewter Go play something more suited to your level. Like Habbo Hotel.

ebon geyser
#

Also do we have a troll in chat warrior

chilly brook
toxic pewter
#

Lol this is like seeing a drug addict freak out when you say you gonna take away their drug, in this case haste. I call it speed now

lofty widget
#

remove trolls from the game

toxic pewter
#

dont worry all

#

you will get your speed

#

relax

waxen orbit
#

Damn, it’s like having trade chat mobile

toxic pewter
#

LOL

ebon geyser
#

What's this clown complaining about haste now

toxic pewter
#

Proves my point even harder

median tulip
ocean yoke
#

lots of nice grass outside guys dam

toxic pewter
#

haste is actually degenerate to the game

lofty widget
#

youre right

#

actually

toxic pewter
#

like when does it end?

median tulip
lofty widget
#

you convinced me

ebon geyser
toxic pewter
#

will everything occur at light speed?

mighty cairn
#

haste just gives you the option to press more buttons

toxic pewter
#

Well it is just a fact, it is a bandaid for poor design

mighty cairn
#

you don’t have to keep pressing

grave crane
#

I will say that having to stack haste so your class feels good is not necessarily good design

toxic pewter
#

careful broldamort

mighty cairn
#

sometimes during lust i have the same cpm

#

to preserve my wrists

toxic pewter
#

you will be labeled a troll and ostracized by weaker minds

uncut notch
#

blaze it

mighty valley
toxic pewter
grave crane
#

Damn there’s really not a lot of us lol

ebon geyser
#

You don't need to stack haste. Be a clown and stack vers keksquad

chrome falcon
#

apb the difference is that he actually made a point instead of trying to rile peope up

toxic pewter
#

I made my points you call me names

#

that is fine

mighty cairn
#

i thought prot would be a lower cpm tank in 9.0

#

but somehow we’ve turned into giga high cpm

urban portal
#

lmao

chilly brook
#

we're never a low CPM tank

mighty cairn
#

LOOL

#

we have the data

toxic pewter
#

I started with a simple discussion of balancing stats... this lead to me questioning the stats themselves..

hushed cobalt
#

90+% haste/vers in bfa was amazing 🙃

urban portal
#

pally was higher

#

in 9.0

#

but yeah

#

in practice warrior is prob always higher

#

since we need to slam IP

mighty cairn
#

i need some scroll wheel macros

chrome falcon
#

prot is one of the only tanks with off-gcd spammable mitigation

#

so yeah we always been high cpm

ebon geyser
#

@toxic pewter but now, u can go and clown your way in the paladin discord because they whole game is around haste.

chilly brook
mighty cairn
#

what about the forbidden ironfur thrash macro

urban portal
#

im gonna say, monk is a good design, they play very fluidly without high haste

mighty cairn
#

is there something we can macro to IP

grave crane
#

Some classes are fine without haste such as monk and sub rogue. I think that could be something to look into but I’m general I don’t think haste is bad for anyone but wrists

urban portal
#

yeah i macroed tclap

toxic pewter
chilly brook
#

don't think that's "good"

grave crane
mighty cairn
#

isn’t the point of 4p necro press tclap as little as possible

chrome falcon
#

yes

ebon geyser
#

Is all about the haste

mighty cairn
#

at least from what i saw

toxic pewter
#

Nah at the end of the day haste is the best stat for most classes

those specs are fine

mighty valley
#

you all gotta stop trying to win this troll argument

chrome falcon
#

Yeah seriously

toxic pewter
#

the ones that rely on haste are simply bad design

chilly brook
chrome falcon
#

He realised his argument was dumb a while ago and is now just trolling I am begging you to disengage

toxic pewter
#

i am not trolling

chilly brook
toxic pewter
#

what is ratio

urban portal
#

thats a ratio right there

toxic pewter
#

lol naming 4 out of 30 something specs that dont rely on haste disproves my point?

ebon geyser
toxic pewter
#

right...

#

this is like an untapped issue i stumbled upon holy shit. Never seen so many people defend a degenerate playstyle..

strange lintel
#

Lunch break is over

chrome falcon
#

If your argument is that “classes should be fun without haste” that’s fine cool

chilly brook
#

me with this now

chrome falcon
#

But saying haste is the worst thing in the game and needs to be deleted is clearly cringe

toxic pewter
#

Yeah but when does the haste game end? Dont you see?

chrome falcon
#

At the end of rn expansion?

toxic pewter
#

It is degenerate

lofty widget
#

it ends at 40 % actually

chrome falcon
#

When all our haste goes back to nothing?

Weird hill to die on

Soon you will do all your attacks in one button press

#

and you will be like hell yea

#

LOL

ebon geyser
#

Just because you suck at warrior is not enough for you to say haste is bad

toxic pewter
#

you are assuming and admonishing my character

I do not speak to you in that tone of voice sir

strange lintel

Go back to offtopic lol

modest quest
#

anyone know if the first boss shield is good or nah?

It’s fine

chrome falcon

If the ilvl is higher you take it

Label an individual a troll because he has a differing viewpoint

#

You are weak individuals

#

In every sense of the word

toxic pewter
#

It like whitnessing a meltdown of a drug addict LOL

#

Like holy shit

#

didnt realize haste was so... addictive..

#

when you get the 2p is it worth switching to nerco for raiding?

toxic pewter

ebon geyser
atomic current
#

ok, just got the 2p

toxic pewter
#

I like haste. It is my highest stat

ebon geyser
#

Go back to hello kitty island adventures@toxic pewter

toxic pewter
#

but I can acknowledge it is degenerate gameplay

#

and should be removed

#

from every class

#

entire game

#

na the other 3 are fine

#

lol now you're trolling

#

It is a bad take

#

haste is the main problem this entire debaucle just proves it

#

if i said to remove any other stat no one would lose their minds like what has occurred this day.

chilly brook
#

hell yea

Thx dog with crown

Ideally you have 2 playstyles one with decent cpm and one with high that do roughly the same

Are there any weakauras for “seeing red” when it turns to outburst at 8 stacks?

I think there’s a reason why even when blood isn’t good they’re a largely popular tank @chrome falcon

blazing condor
#

gambit is honestly a joke of a dungeon

mighty valley
#

stats on that? blood one was of the least popular tanks last i checked in 9.0

chilly brook
#

And I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that there is a bias towards self responsibility

they're not going to deliberately break the holy trinity any time soon

strong forum
#

BDK didnt see alot of play in 9.0 because UHDK was OP af

#

btw

chilly brook
#

They kinda did in legion and WoD

#

And those were some of the best experiences as a tank imho

strong forum
#

and tanks in legion legit didnt need healers

#

at all

#

except pwar

#

cuz IP sucks

chilly brook
#

Like it wouldn’t “break” the trinity

#

It just lessens the reliance on the healer for the tank

strong forum
#

yah

chilly brook
#

You still needed heals in legion for the group

strong forum
#

holy trinity will always be a staple of wow

chilly brook
#

Unless it was specific dungeons in a well coordinated group with a boss blood dk

strong forum
#

but they just cant figure out tanks

chilly brook
#

Cuz blood dk leach aura was sick af

#

I used to yell at my healer “stop casting heals just do damage let them heal themselves for the next 15 seconds”

#

Consumption was such a good ability man

blazing condor

😎

strong forum
#

even tho they did the least amount of dmg

#

by a good margin

mighty valley
#

i might've been looking at just entire playerbase numbers

#

and not just people engaged enough to log

#

people who like bdk LOVE it

blazing condor
#

same goes for pwarr tbh

#

its a lifestyle

mighty valley
#

yeah because why else would we stay here

strong forum
#

theres alot more people who like bdk

blazing condor
#

stockholm syndrome

strong forum
#

than any other tank

#

i feel like

#

i cant fathom why cuz the rotation is incredibly boring to me

chilly brook
#

Blood is probably the most individual responsibility tank

#

That’s probably why

strong forum
#

also wheelchair

chilly brook
#

It’s completely different with tier now

blazing condor
#

funny how a bdk is both a blood and a crip

mighty valley
#

i think across "average wow players" there's a ton more paladins/vdh than at the top end

#

just like... Human Paladin is still an unbelievably popular thing to be for casual players

chilly brook
#

Also

mighty valley
#

and dh stole every other kind of edgelord

chilly brook
#

Blood DK as an average tank in an average guild

#

Far better experience than being a good prot warrior in an average guild

#

Trust me

#

If your healers are bad

#

It’s far less annoying

strong forum

kek

#

paladin in SoD had BY AN ABSOLUTE LANDSLIDE

#

the highest death%

mighty valley
#

eh, i think we were still winning

strong forum
#

only if you account ALL players

#

but anything other than ALL players

#

pally has highest mortality rate

#

especially the higher you go

mighty valley
#

oh i see

#

yeah, i do feel it's weird that warrior is the most inaccessible

#

rando players just being like "that seems like the standard tank" die over and over

strong forum
#

same thing in Sofc btw

#

paladin highest mortality rate

blazing condor
#

arent there more palas in general the higher you go seeing as it (or at least was in SoD) a meta tank

#

= more palas who die

mighty valley
#

healing bad paladins gives me a heart attack

strong forum
#

ya pally has like twice as many as anyone else

chilly brook
strong forum
#

and warri only has 1/5th

#

sofc for example

#

33k warri
143k pallys

heroic btw*

ocean yoke

holy fuck 19.6k deaths lol

strong forum
#

mythic is even worse

blazing condor
#

2% more deaths on pala

mythic is 7k warris

blazing condor
#

than warr

#

and 100k bdks

ocean yoke
#

mythic prot parse numbers are hilarious comparing to other tanks

strong forum
#

all mythic parses

400k vs 30k

interesting how monk has such high overkill

#

idrk monks well so maybe it makes sense

#

but with stagger

mighty valley

druid overkill is enormous

blazing condor

or wait

is the overkill just how many were overkilled?

blazing condor

that makes more sense

halondrus is pretty balanced cuz he just kinda does

jagged pier

halaondrus is also not damage

strong forum
#

ye

jagged pier
#

the only way u die there and this is on mythic

#

is standing in a sky beam

strong forum
#

ye

chrome falcon
#

you can fuck up half the taunts on halondrus and be fine anyway too

#

but holy shit

#

those rotating beams

#

actually put you in the fucking blender

#

literally 150k dps

urban portal
#

well yeah, you arent supposed to touch those

grave crane
#

i find that if i take 2 beams on halondrus and dont have several defensives to cylce through i probably die

chrome falcon
#

oh yeah

#

i'm not saying you can tank 2 beams

#

i'm saying that half the casts have enough time between that you don't fuck up if you die

#

which is weird

chilly brook
#

I find it funny when another tank taunts off me during halo intermission

strong forum
#

can confirm i died to normal halondrus getting 2 beamed through SW

chilly brook
#

It’s like “lance tickles”

urban portal
#

does lance actually do nothing to prot wars during the walk

chrome falcon
#

lance tickles but you're not getting much healing

chilly brook
grave crane
#

i have done it once, and i had to SW, shout, SB and channel FC and i think my druid iron barked me and eveyone went oh hes not dead

chilly brook
#

But if you have banner up

#

You’re outhealing it yourself

#

It literally tickles

chrome falcon
#

and yeah you're not meant to stand in the sky beams but normally tanks can survive thing you're not meant to stand in

chilly brook
#

Granted I haven’t done mythic halo as a tank

chrome falcon
#

it's just a surprisingly huge 1 shot

#

that still kills you in a second through shield wall

chilly brook
#

But you have so much rage between IP and indom you’re basically fine in intermission

#

And it’s easy to charge weave during intermission too

grave crane
#

Haly is a good boss i think, andy too for tanks. other fights kinda boring for tanks so far

jagged pier
#

halondrus is not fun for tanks

#

its so boring

chilly brook
#

Andy is a meme for you

#

As prot

#

It’s literally all melee

strong forum
#

lets test how high we can get the atk speed increase

#

love that minigame when bosses have that

chilly brook
#

The only way you die is if homeboi doesn’t taunt remnant off you after soul reaper

chrome falcon
#

halondrus is a pretty fun boss to tank the first few times, it's kinda lame that you don't really have to play your class at all but the positioning stuff is cool

#

the problem is that you don't get to engage with the mechanic that is gonna wipe you 200+ times

#

so you can't optimise at all to help the raid

#

so you do the same thing for like a month and then eventually your dps learn to play and it dies

Fuck sire wracking pain

#

Shit definitely needed a visual for the cone

grave crane
#

sire still best fight this expac imo but yeah wracking pain was definitely a little wonky

jagged pier
#

eh?

#

sire a good fight

#

?

strong forum
#

i hated sire

chilly brook
#

Sire was a good fight

jagged pier
#

sire was fucking shit

chilly brook
#

Nah

#

Sire was good

#

Apart from lagging out computers

grave crane
#

i enjoyed sire more than slyv or jailer

chilly brook
strong forum
#

but i hated sire for how much trouble the guild had with it

#

not because of tank mechanics

strong forum
#

i cant just silently tank bosses

#

without trying to manage the raid at the same time

#

i just cant

chilly brook
#

Sire was like black hand level of boss design

#

Tbh

grave crane
#

ah thats not my job i tank theres a RL for the other stuff

strong forum
#

which makes raid tanking VERY hard

strong forum
grave crane
#

Oh no

#

your the RL

chilly brook
#

This is why I don’t raid tank

strong forum
#

even if im not RL

chilly brook
strong forum
#

i look out for others

#

cuz i cba wiping

#

so i did callout even when i wasnt tank

#

and i also did callouts for my cotank

#

so i played like 3 roles at once

#

at all times

chrome falcon
#

pointing wracking pain was so fucking annoying on denathrius

#

but he was still fun to tank just because

#

holy shit

#

that man could fucking MELEE

strong forum
#

which is why i find raid tanking hard, cuz i do alot more than only focus on myself

grave crane
#

i mean i call out if theres something thats not being done or if the other tank needs to taunt but theres a RL that calls out when stuffs going out and theres other dps in our raid who are reliable seconds in that regard

chilly brook

strong forum
#

i tried doing everything on council... it was too much

chilly brook
#

Most guilds I’ve been in appreciate a little help here and there

grave crane
#

i agree, which is why theres a lot of personal responsiblity and im in no way saying i just zone out and tank btw

chilly brook
#

Like for example I’ve been trying to organize kicks for last phase on Pantheon

strong forum
#

tanking + calling mechanics + watching for positioning + calling healing CDs

#

was just too much for 1 person on council

chrome falcon
#

i can link you some WAs for interrupts on each boss that are giga easy to set up griff

#

if you want

chilly brook
#

That’s like 30 something pulls or something like that

grave crane
#

why would they have you do all that if theres other capable people to do stuff is my question?

chilly brook
#

It’s rare that people step up and just take initiative to call things

#

Or even be bothered with anything outside of whatever they’re supposed to be doing

grave crane
#

thats fair, ive seen guilds that dont do any of this and cant clear normal so i guess its just a way some people are

chrome falcon
#

i try to call everything but sometimes i forget and various raiders fill in the gaps

#

apart from healing

#

i literally do not know what my healers are doing ever

#

and i don't want to know

#

that's their shit i'm too busy to handle that

Imho the most overblown thing in the world

It looks great on paper

But it’s also happening when you’re at you’re tankiest

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

chrome falcon
#

nose is good but if you want an aoe dispel play belf and if you want an aoe stun play tauren

#

play tauren btw hey you should play tauren

#

play tauren.

Oooooorrrr

You be a real chad

#

And play goblin for that drip

highmountain tauren seems good to me also

As soon as I tried doing the lake pull in DoS as a vulpera and realized It drops me into the water because my toon is so small I immediately changed back to Tauren lmao

In DoS ardenwield the small characters are forced to swim in the lake so the big bird pull with urn sucks ass

its in arden i take it

Does the mount item that allows water walking get canceled when being struck by a mob? If it persists then that would be a way to avoid the swim

mighty valley

when was the tipping point? really early on it was always alliance favored

mop

and then they never had a reason to swap back to alliance

so everybody just stayed horde

and more and more people went to horde cuz more people are on horde

#

all until now

where you have like an 80/20 spread for "high end pve"

vernal vale

I'm still playing the night elf warrior I played in wrath.

At this point I would lose so much to go horde I just cannot.

#

Reputations, mounts, transmogs that are faction based.

you kinda dont lose anything

reputations carry over 1-1

mounts sure, but the good ones arent faction specific

same as tmogs EXCEPT level 60 pvp set
