Threat wise

blazing condor
#

they do melee hit iirc

#

so its good to pick them up

dawn canyon
#

However the manifest sins cast was used for rogue funnel in s2

blazing condor
#

or idk sometimes when a party member has been standing on the side

uncut notch
#

idk how the fuck to gather them

blazing condor
#

the whole group gathers them

#

by stacking in middle

uncut notch
#

sometimes i get lucky and they stack in the boss

blazing condor
#

and then they run to you

uncut notch
#

sometimes theyre all the fuck over

dawn canyon
#

Divine toll > all come

#

But for pwar it's probably a sneaky shockwave

blazing condor
#

watch any HOA high key and they coordinate it by standing close during ad phase

With party kicks

#

If you don't dmg the adds

#

They all run to the center

#

If you dmg them instantly they start casting in nirvana

blazing condor
#

ye

#

also maybe unpopular opinion

#

but Gambit is a hella fun dungeon to run

#

fast and effective and i like the mobs/bosses

#

murloc area is pog

dawn canyon
#

It is good

#

Mass aoe and funny bosses

#

Except Boss 1

blazing condor
#

boss 1 kinda boring

#

2nd boss i like now

#

i mostly just like how fast the dungeon is

#

#

what kind of overall are we doing as necroprot? halls 7 opc/scale

#

kinda feels low for 271 4pc

strong forum
#

8k is very low for 271 4pc

#

In low keys like that you should be able to do like 13-14k

sand pebble
#

maybe im playing necro wrong

strong forum
#

You should on the regular farm like 11-13k with that gear in pretty much every key

blazing condor
strong forum
#

Necro is harder cuz the spec just gets faster and you'll want to maximise banner uptime

#

In low keys like this packs should die in like 5seconds so kyrian would be better

#

But given the overall dps shown there they didn't die that quickly

sand pebble
#

true ill run higher with guildies and see if its higher

strong forum
#

But even in this situation it should've been more ratge

ionic fern

#

So there's defo missplay happening

#

I mean that's cuz 260 ilvl

You want me to Interrupt? Do you know that I waste a GCD and I would use it to do more damage? Couldnt you just not interrupt FFS?

#

-average dd player.

sand pebble
#

we bought an spriest last week who mc'd withering discharge mob and it helped with dam taken esp when the withering discharge cast pulls things through walls

blazing condor
#

im just glad my monk has finally started using his para/ring to interrupt mobs more

blazing condor
#

and not just sweep/interrupt

#

i asked the healer if he preferred to skip the commander pack in Xav or nah before the key

#

and he said "you cant do that"

#

same guy who body-pulled the first mobs in the dungeon when we were gonna skip

#

still timed though

lyric geode
#

Haha, its so funny. I had a dk on 20s key that couldnt do the hook.

save body pulls and just pull it all onto first boss

it's playable but uh

creation catalyst is up so i dunno how you'd not have any tier pieces

like it was the best ST since 9.1 but u lost rep

so it wasnt worth it

in terms of double leggo no tier

its more playable

but in general necro after 2pc

kyiran before

i'd raid as necro without any tier but yeah pretty rough in m+

you're playing unstoppable force

so yeah 6k sounds right

you're also playing emeni instead of mari/heirm but that's very minor compared to playing unstoppable force

#

you cast intervene 3 times over the entire key

#

unstoppable is terrible and has been for this entire expansion

#

TC is a fucking terrible spell, the LAST thing you want to do is cast more of it

#

run ravager and start actually pressing revenge if you want to do damage

casts are low
blocked hits are low your like 30% lower than u should be

#

A key I ran yesterday where the feral druid kept ripping threat. Was trying to get more TC to hold threat better. Maybe more Revenge is what I need though?

blazing condor
#

Just read the tooltips

chrome falcon
#

yeah if you want to hold aggro i recommend casting a spell that does damage

blazing condor
#

Tc hits for nothing

chrome falcon
#

instead of a spell that does no damage

blazing condor
#

Revenge hits for damage

#

Just see TC as ”free rage here”

oblique garnet
#

Free ss resets

chrome falcon
#

also if you have problems with threat that's even more reason to run ravager

#

because ravager is big aoe damage on a low CD

#

you're also not running stalwart guardian

#

should be run over condensed anima sphere

#

if you charge then revenge your first global is going to be a 50% bonus damage revenge

#

that's gonna be roughly 2x the damage of a thunderclap

#

also if you start pressing shield slam you will start generating rage and get your banner uptime from 30% up to the 70% it should be

#

and yeah your blocked hits are very low, you need to press charge and intervene to actually proc reprisal

golden pollen
#

Do we still need ravager at this point?

chrome falcon
#

more than we need unstoppable force! 🙂

golden pollen
#

Charge revenge should snap enough aggro

#

Unless ur DPS out gears u like crazy

chrome falcon
#

sure you can hold aggro without ravager

hushed cobalt
#

I don't recommend it, but you can use riftshard mid-charge and hopefully everything is grouped up 3s later

it's still more dps and rage than itf

ok so if you have a bad group for a key that group fails the timer?

is that a design flaw?

if your group is dogshit your group should fail the key
