oh 15k overall, alright

ye i mean the lock and ret both have no clue I suppose 😅

sick sentinel

druid really had his stuff together, made the run smoother

broken crater

lock should be on 15k aswell pepsihands

sick sentinel
#

yeah, cuz that shaman died like 5 times for some reasons, its an 18, best i've done so

#

druid have to brez him at least once i saw

no shame in that, deaths happen in +30 too

sick sentinel

nonononoo

+30 key IS death, instant death

#

they look at you funny and fart and then your dead, no thanks

#

that does indeed happen if you stand behind the gasbag in theater

#

otherwise, not so much

cobalt seal
#

@sick sentinel have you consider moving away from that UI

#

Where you dont have to run a marathon with your eyes

#

To get info

#

After 10m in that UI i would prob have to stop because my eyes would start hurting

#

You everything spread

#

When info should be close together on the center

#

Close to mobs

#

So your eyes dont have to move around

#

To get info

#

You say you watch bars for info

#

Move bars up

#

To mobs line of sight

#

You have party frames on narnia

#

You prob miss 99% of intervenes

#

By having to move mouse there

craggy pilot
#

whats the rant for wtf?

cobalt seal
#

Its not a rant lol

#

This is general info to everyone

craggy pilot

Not read

maybe he didnt

do it

intentionally

Is this one of these "Read the first letter of each line" things

Maybe you try to read it. Since you cant read long texts

# cobalt seal Can simply

They mean you're basically spamming instead of just collating your information into a single post or two, instead you're flooding the chat with inane fragmented babbling that really doesn't help.

sweet summit
#

i mean

#

doesn't really matter

dawn canyon
#

Flood or block neither is very digestable

cinder nova
#

No, but if you're gonna try and offer advice at least try and be coherent.

dawn canyon
#

Because i cant read

sweet summit
#

they're clearly trying to help

cinder nova
#

You can format with Shift+Enter

sweet summit
#

which is nice

cobalt seal
#

Sure

#

Let me format on phone

cinder nova
#

Bruh if you can shotgun out that drivel you can be fucked to actually press the enter key on your phone. It's literally less keybinds that typing it on keyboard.

cobalt seal
#

What does it matter

#

Jesus

cinder nova
#

I find it ironic that you're out here trying to coach on something related to information formatting while the coaching's information formatting is an actual optical migraine and it's going over your head keks

Anyhow YogiUi aint ideal

What the actual christ is yogiUI? Is it an Elv/Tukui retrofit?

Yogi's UI

But without the 's

Oh literally yogi's UI.

Except mine gladge

#

🤔 do i have to do it with a covenant campaign i completed?

#

im 2/9 on Necro, should i swap back to Kyr to do it?

dawn canyon
#

Idk

cinder nova
#

They mean in the same general area. For Alliance you get the quest from Genn but he's standing near the entrance of the map room that branches out to the covenant choices.

craggy pilot
#

oh i found it, its just not listed as a "main campaign"

cinder nova
#

Nah.

#

It's entirely lore/narrative texture for the setting. I want more quests like this, here's hoping DF isn't afraid to put in a bit more like 'em.

craggy pilot
#

is it a prequest for DF?

sick sentinel
#

theres no change to legendary crafting in s4 is there pls say no

dawn canyon
cinder nova
#

No, it's just there to show progress occurring in Lordaeron with the Forsaken and how they plan on cleaning up the blight.

sick sentinel
#

ilvl more specifically

dawn canyon
#

It's funny tho

#

I like marileth

#

He's cool

craggy pilot
#

since when is Tirisfal scorched?

cinder nova
#

I was actually more stoked at seeing a lot of OG undead from way back like Faranell and Belmont.

dawn canyon
cinder nova
# craggy pilot since when is Tirisfal scorched?

Sylvanas did a scorched-earth retreat during the Siege of Lordaeron. She was holding back the Alliance line while apothecaries rigged munitions full of the same virulent plague used at the Wrathgate strategically around the ruins. She detonated them as she pulled back to cleave through the Alliance lines and in doing so also killed a fair sum of Horde soldiery. She was cornered in the throne room where she set off the last munition in the hopes of slaying a bulk of the Alliance's leadership at the expense of her capital.

#

The plague's toxic miasma has been lingering rather persistently since the beginning of BFA and as a result has cut off the Undercity from the rest of the Horde and Forsaken, including large swathes of Tirisfal being caught in the fallout. The quest is effectively a union of the fragment Forsaken leadership doing everything they can to begin neutralizing the plague and reclaim their ancestral home.

#

Part of it is a B-plot with Calia Menethil in the hopes of integrating herself with the rest of the undead Forsaken by lending her aid despite their distrust.

My keybinds are ass

But if it works it works

11 or 12k

Don’t need to craft more

Where do you get gold from

sick sentinel

had a wow token it was 40k total bill, least those are up to date i have to go arms or some other thing, i think someone said TW for some raid fights?

strong forum
#

turns out codex is even worse than previously assumed

#

LOL

#

cuz its fixed/bugged since 9.2.5

#

it actually only reflects/absorbs its tooltip value now

i have all of those except TW, which i don't know where i want to craft

😳
👉 👈

urban portal
jagged pier
#

its fucking trash

cinder nova
#

Monkey see monkey do, but what's the deal? I have seen Thwump running one and he gets between 500 to 700 DPS in high keys.

chrome falcon
#

its tooltip value was 1/10th the actual value

#

so it's even worse

strong forum
chrome falcon
#

yes but he also loses damage

urban portal
#

oh shit

chrome falcon
#

because he has a stam trinket

urban portal
#

its bad on all other tanks now?

#

i remember day 1 someone on brew was saying their codex was doing a lot less than last patch

strong forum
#

pmuch

cinder nova
#

How much DPS are you actually losing from 80-100 STR

urban portal
#

codex does like 1k dps in 9.2

strong forum
#

it already caps out at like 2.3k absorb per hit

urban portal
#

if you are talking about codex vs a generic trinket that does nothing

strong forum
#

6-7% cuz Banner multipliers and so on

#

which also affects IP size

#

so youre just in a lose-lose situation

strong forum
cinder nova
#

Speaking of trinkets, I managed to fish a scale on my 3rd box but I don't have the valor to 12/12 it now BestStat

#

yeah im saying on brew

#

not here

#

i was the first one in this discord to say codex is bad

#

dont have to tell me

jagged pier
#

Its trash for brew

#

Rdm does more

#

ya its trash for brew now

cuz they also removed stagger working against it

So vdh is the last one left?

TW on cloak i presume?

idk why youd ever play it tho

waste of gold

maybe i do a raid, i'll save some of that gold sure

I used to get baited by codex and play it, but I'd rather use Aegis if I actually want another defensive trinket now

it'd just be nice to say i have the legendary i need to tank raid boss if i needed to do it

you use reprisal in raids, not the wall

You can already say that

we still have another like year or 6 months right? i'm not too worried

even in raid wall isnt good

I've got a max rank Wall; I think I've used it maybe twice.

literally a dead leggo since 9.0.5

i havent upgraded my 210 wall since the first patch

sick sentinel
#

i thought that was TL kekw

ocean yoke
#

its also fucking boring

strong forum
#

TL is dead since beta

median tulip
#

Thunderlord only exists so that Bliz could claim not to have completely nerfed the BfA playstyle

#

It was never meant to be played

strong forum
#

so funny how the leggo went

median tulip
#

It's just an excuse legendary

strong forum
#

they asked for a legendary wed want back from legion

#

we said TL

#

we got TL

#

they didnt like its performance in beta, nerf it into the floor so that it becomes useless

median tulip
#

If the set bonus multiplied the leggo effect it might be worth considering. But it doesn't.

#

(I made a 190 to test that as soon as I had set)

strong forum
#

tierset outburst doesnt interact with anything

#

no talent and no legendary gets multiplied by outburst

#

and the slow from TC actually only gets a +100% and not +200% increase

steel mist

oh shit codex nerfed to ground

#

time to use the sigil and aegis

hey guys, i am having trouble dealing with doctor ickus. Boss is not the problem but the packs that we do prior to engaging him. I have trouble pulling that second pack on the right away from the area. Doctor just lands there and we end up dealing with the boss and the mobs. How do you guys pull that pack away from that area?

#

the guy keeps casting bolts and slime also keeps casting some spell. They just dont move

lime urchin

Interrupting!

strong forum
#

kick the caster

#

kick the blob

#

done

sick sentinel
#

what level is the keystone

strong forum
#

now its just LITERALLY useless

white ember
#

On Ickus I find it relatively easier to just go left pack and then diagonally across to big guy + plaguepriest (interrupt plaguepriest on cast and drag behind), then last pack with the oozes to get the buff directly on boss, instead of having to get the necrolord to run back to get it.

it happened very recently

either with 9.2.5 or within the last few days

oh sorry i thought they were asking if it was only bad now

#

but its now 100% confirmed dead trinket for everyone

chrome falcon
#

it was always bad but yeah worse as of this week

#

(probably still good defensively on rygelon mythic)

strong forum
#

for vdh its still only 800 dps

#

for bdks still 1.4k tho, but maybe the log i checked was pre-fix

cuz its just fucklaods of ticks to reflect

they're talking about the trash

not the boss

cobalt seal
#

I have some bad news for you

gray iris
#

i really hate plaguefall lol..

chrome falcon

i think plaguefall is probably the key with the biggest diff between a pug and a team

most people who only pug hate it

people who are doing like 24s with a team say it's a joke

theres so many buff in that key to amke tyrranical a joke

What y’all’s second favorite tank

sweet summit

fury warrior

urban portal

Arms warrior

median tulip

Bear

sweet summit
toxic pewter
#

Arms much better than fury

#

I have spoken.

urban portal
#

False

#

I’ve seen screenshots

median tulip
#

Arms is more fun

toxic pewter
#

Arms more fun

#

I mean

#

Yea

sweet summit
#

arms sux

toxic pewter
#

… yikes…

median tulip
#

I don't like buff uptime maintenance DPS classes like Fury

sweet summit
#

but you play prot warrior hmmNod

toxic pewter
#

If I play bear do I gotta do like balance weaving and shit

urban portal
#

No

toxic pewter
#

Like I don’t want to do anything except bear

#

Ok. So it’s not expected to like change forms and dps and shit or wat

sick sentinel
#

is top viscera like crazy bad for us

sweet summit
#

yes

urban portal
#

Viscera is just mid

median tulip
#

The only reason to be not-a-bear when you are a Bear is if you need to stealth through a section

sweet summit
#

poopoo

urban portal
sick sentinel
#

it decided i wanted one, there's a dk in my guild i brough along i could trade it to him

urban portal
#

Even at ranged you can just moonfire away

urban portal
#

In bear

toxic pewter
sick sentinel
#

but i dunno if he ants to play bdk or if its good for dps dk

urban portal
#

Heart of the wild off heal in high soa is also valid

median tulip
#

There's very occasionally a point where a DPS form makes sense; like when a boss has a section where they don't need to be tanked and you just do damage

toxic pewter
#

Yeah like that’s what I dont like. Heart of the wild.

urban portal
#

Don’t take that talent

#

Easy

toxic pewter
#

Ok

#

But will they look down on me or am I missing out

urban portal
#

It’s for very high keys anyways

toxic pewter
#

Ok noted

urban portal
#

Sometimes soa can just straight up kill you

#

During intermission

#

So you should heal in high keys

sick sentinel
#

i experienced the glitch where when going through teleporter rings, you suddenly can't control your char and have to log off, then we timed with 12 seconds on clock

median tulip
#

The main reason I like Bear though is that they are the easiest and more predictable tank to heal when I am playing a healer

toxic pewter
urban portal
#

Doesn’t matter too much

toxic pewter
#

Or does it change depending on dungeon I guess?

sick sentinel
#

or like, you can move around and it looks like you are attacking on your screen but no buttons being pressed, and they say ur not moving

toxic pewter
#

Ok

jagged pier
toxic pewter
median tulip
#

Also putting Guardian spirit on a Bear is basically "welp, don't have to pay any attention to the bear" and you can DPS for a while

urban portal
#

Like my friend always heart convoke as boomie on pull to get threat

toxic pewter
#

Yeah damn. Like that sounds good but just feel awkward to me. I guess I’m just not that flexible

#

Not as enjoyable for me

urban portal
#

Then don’t do it

toxic pewter
#

But then I’ll feel I am doing it wrong

urban portal
#

Though idk why you wouldn’t just play brew

Ok right so maybe brew is better fit

(small sample size) but 1 person had 2-3x more healing with codex on Ryg in 9.2.5 than in 9.2

Codex already sucks balls for prot so yeah

Found a few more logs and it might have been a 1-off I saw on Ryg

Codex is literally dead trinket

Ryg is the only exception where it does anything

Cuz of the extremely constant dmg intake

potent anvil

Just use dps trinkets okayge

Yeah codex on ryg did 8% damage and 8% healing I think

Mythic Brolda

#

Heroic/normal it does nothing

grave crane
#

Oh well in heroic it did those numbers and it’s better than anima decanter that I got

robust rover
#

so not nothing

strong forum
#

Well 15k dtps on heroic is a bit much

#

Aswell as being kyrian peepostudy

#

15k is what tanks have on mythic ryg

#

Except bdks they're at 35k dtps

#

But yes

#

Those levels of dtps is where codex is good on ryg (emphasis on per second)

#

But since they fixed it now, it's straight up garbage in keys

sick sentinel
#

i wonder if they will change sack magic bombs to not attach bombs to enemy frame lol

strong forum

You mean as debuff?

That sounds like a weird thing to wonder about

yea sack procs on your current target, regardless of combat

just dont target stuff youre not in combat with

#

or use another trinket

strong forum
#

And you didn't hit the ceiling of codex once in this log

#

But you got extremely close

#

Idk what's so hard to understand, the dps/hps comes from the extremely frequent dot dmg you take

sick sentinel
#

this will sound really super pepega but do you guys ever mark the relics to kill with basic marker skull x, (normal in game/ macro/ addon or other doesn't really matter here)

strong forum
#

Codex now already maxes out its DR when you get hit by ~20-23k and then it stops reducing mroe dmg even if the hit gets larger

Prior to 9.2.5 you could mitigate up to 20k from a single 200k hit, now you'd still only mitiage 2.3k from a 200k hit

#

That's why codex is now ultra garbage

sick sentinel
#

keep seeming to still get the ocassion random wo or vy seemingly no reasons, i don't mind it but

strong forum
#

It doesn't even provide the full 10% DR in heavy hitting situations

ocean yoke
#

it is definitely because dps yolo aoe and assume someone else will target the right relic

cobalt seal
#

And people do it in pugs usually

strong forum
sick sentinel
#

i think i might just make 2 macros, #1 /target urh (whatever the skull mark command is) #2 same but wo

strong forum
#

Sure

cobalt seal
#

Or just have a macro for skull

sick sentinel
#

have the addon, that got fixed, but its just way easier to just click and its done

chrome falcon
#

more buttons probably not great when you're already struggling with the ones you have

sick sentinel

0.1 second vs 1 second

How hard are heroic jailer autos

chrome falcon
#

pretty hard for a heroic boss

#

so

#

pathetic, basically

strong forum

Should melee for like 140ish K on heroic

#

Pre-mit

urban portal
#

Damn that’s soft

strong forum
#

Well that's still harder than anything else in the game

#

Mythic jailer is like 240k pre-mit

#

Iirc

#

190k pre-mit on heroic

#

So an unblocked hit does like 40-45k

#

270k pre-mit mythic
~85k unblocked without literally anything up

Guhhhh it feels super overwhelming to learn how to tank this late in an expansion… I’m tracking all the awesome resources we have listed in the discord but where does one start if I have zero tanking experience…

strong forum
#

Start by slapping a dummy 2-4hrs hrs to get your rotation down a bit into muscle memory

grave crane
#

Put on a shield and go into 15s

strong forum
#

Then start by tracking SB uptime and work around that

#

But yeah, to learn all around tanking just go straight into whatever keylevel seems challenging to you

chrome falcon
strong forum
#

You'll quickly notice what hurts and what doesn't, unless you're overwhelmed by everything

chrome falcon
#

then you go into the new expansion ready to go and fuckin blast

#

and yeah literally it sounds boring but just go hit a dummy

#

for like twice as long as you think you need to

strong forum
#

But getting the rotation down and keeping track of your SB uptime is the absolute basics

chrome falcon
#

learn to react quickly to SS procs and when you can dump rage

#

the only way you're gonna get tanking experience is by going and getting the shit beat out of you

fallow osprey
#

Ok thanks everyone, I’ll give it a go

chrome falcon
#

it's true

#

well, that's what the guy who stole my wallet last week told me

fallow osprey

he had your best interests at heart

You dont need bandaid

Tukui is just weird

I never see anyone use it

cobalt seal

Fixing UI helps you more in long term

So maybe you ragequit less

Before ksm

dawn canyon
#

Fixing own UI is also kinda fun gladge

wooden widget
#

There’s a pretty good chance you’ll make some weak auras or macros and end up never using them. Especially for the stuff you’re describing

sick sentinel
#

cuz, i can't get rid of the gryphons without like 4 seperate addons otherwise

cobalt seal
#

Elvui alone

#

Does that lol

sick sentinel
#

that's why, i just would want to hide them base ui, i believe i heard thats coming

dawn canyon
#

So let's boil down

safe thistle
#

thats ELvUI using sense profile moded and wa, cause i like what he did

dawn canyon
#

You dont want a full overhaul?

#

Just the gryphons gone?

safe thistle
#

ive cut the view

sick sentinel
#

is there even a big difference between tuki and elv, i thought i heard they are the same thing, or well, if you go to evlui . com it shows tuk ui forums and such often

dawn canyon
#

Elv is the more used one

#

Idk why

sick sentinel
#

i'm simply acclomated to tukui now is all it is

dawn canyon

Or just go bartender4

With plater and default unitframes

You dont need to play in a spaceship

it's kind of incredible

i think the first time we told him to move that SB weakaura was like 3 months ago

sick sentinel
#

no it was because i also had IP bar

dawn canyon

im pretty sure

sick sentinel
#

and you said get rid of it

dawn canyon
#

it took you 2 months

#

to delete that

#

and you still didnt move the SB

sick sentinel

i did

chrome falcon
#

you do you man it's just weird when you ask for help, get it, and then like weeks later you ask for help again and haven't implemented any of the help offered last time and we just give you the same feedback

cobalt seal
#

You want stuff when mobs are

#

So you dont lose time

#

Looking for said info

#

Especially if your entire tankiness resolves around it

dawn canyon
#

you could get something like this

#

where you see everything up close

#

rather than spread across ur screen

cobalt seal

Or just move bars up

And make it like 3 rows

But wa are usually cleaner

oh yea danwar does that and its good

hey guys i have a question which is the best race for warrior ?

pallid quiver

For Prot is probably a Dorf of some sort due to the cleanse

chilly halo
#

hello everyone, i have a question about secondary stats for prot warriors.
Which stats are the most valuable, and what is the stat cap for thoses stats ?

pallid quiver
#

Haste by far the most valuable, though it's outwieghed by Strength

lofty widget
#

vulpera, but it's super minimal so just pick whatever you think looks coolest

pallid quiver
#

^^^ For Horde, yeah, Vulpera will generally add up to the most

#

Appearance though is the real bis race

lofty widget
dawn canyon
#

(dont stress over vers)

#

its a nice benefit not a requirement

#

play makes up most mitigation, not ur vers stat

strong forum
#

Dorf > vulp > rest

#

For m+

#

For raid it's tauren > rest cuz stam

chilly halo
cobalt seal
#

Vers is overrated

lofty widget
#

im doing 26/27s with 4 % vers for perspective

#

literally doesnt matter

chilly halo
#

that mean by having 40% haste u mitigate dmg by using a lot of shield block and ignore pain ?
BTW i'm asking for a raiding spec

strong forum
#

In raid it matters even less

#

Haste means more rage

#

Which means more everything

dawn canyon
#

prot currently works on a feedback loop of gaining and spending rage

#

with more haste you accelerate that loop

strong forum
#

More CDs, more outburst, more uptime, which means more rage which means more CDs and so on in an infinite loop

chilly halo
#

ok , thank u 🙂

#

Spend rage to gain rage

your most important buttons are still the furthest from your character

but it's a start

i would really recommend putting combat abilities right under your character in the top row

you put shield slam on the easiest to press button

why wouldn't you also make it the easiest to see

Unpopular opinion but I don’t like non-permanent character skill customisation .
It makes no sense from a RPG point of vue to change talents so often, and it’s impossible to balance them as history has shown.
And of course permanent choices are horrible in our BiS-math-game.
So I would prefer if each class was set in stone.

onyx matrix

I know this talent will prob never be implemented again but sword and board would be a nice return and devastate actually does smth aka sunder armor or whatever

id kinda want that we get more rage from spells if they crit

like arms' AA

#

or just bring back RFDT

onyx matrix
#

This?🤣

sick sentinel
#

critical block should always trigger SS empower or cd reset, have some effect tied to it rather than oh, you blocked more

#

or like, talent: all normal warrior attacks have chance to daze or slow or stun briefly (wc3 mountain king)

strong forum
#

which means, you got a huge amount of rage from taking alot of dmg

if you lost like 80% HP in 1 hit, youd get like 80 rage or smth instantly

that was scrapped from legion to bfa

Vdh shouldnt have problems

If Blizzard isnt scared of bringing Legion artifact stuff back

VDH is a coin flip should be getting interesting stuff simply because like Bear it’s pretty bear bones right now.

Vdh has prob the most to gain from it

And since bdk got mini 4p

if outburst is gonna stay i'd like to see it be a bit more developed

so pressing TC isn't so bad

#

i think currently prot is like pretty close to perfect if they tweak TC a bit so it's less sad to press

#

and put the extra block somewhere other than reprisal

sick sentinel
#

reprisal makes alot of sense, you need the SB as you go into battle for SS attack and not die to melee

chrome falcon
#

all i hope is that in dragonflight we don't have to go back to unstoppable force

#

reprisal is fine but i'm not playing with it for 3 years straight

#

shit's annoying

#

unless you have lag or very very slow hands you already have SB for the first melees that hit you anyway

toxic pewter
#

Hope they remove reprisal for sure and also have an alternative non haste build that could be just as good as high apm carpal tunnel build

chrome falcon
#

also like erga said

#

some variation of the artifact ability

#

that you play like 10% of the time for very specific situations

#

would be nice

upbeat raft
#

Is 40% haste too much? I'm doing like 19 keys and dying too often, and my healer is suggesting swapping out some haste for vers to smooth out my damage intake; I'm not sure if that's right.

chrome falcon
#

it's not right

#

never listen to your healer

#

40% haste unbuffed is the MAXIMUM that you want though

#

is that 40% unbuffed or with ITF stacks

upbeat raft
#

Unbuffed

wheat shadow
#

It's kind of a lot

chrome falcon
#

yeah i mean that's the maximum you want

#

we normally say go haste until 40% unbuffed then other stuff

#

because after 40% you get fucked by diminishing returns

#

but if you're dying in 19s it's nothing to do with your stats or gear

toxic pewter
#

Still shouldn’t be dying in 19s

#

Ya

chrome falcon
#

either you, your dps, or your healer, or all of you, are doing stuff wrong

#

do you have a log of a key where you died? much easier to make observations in that case

wheat shadow
#

Specifically what key as well

toxic pewter
#

Make sure your using shield block correctly
