crimson furnace
#

trick ur brain with the following thought: i need a huge SS hit so im pressing SB like crazyh

#

problem solved

#

:)))

jagged pier
#

you als wasted a lot of rage

#

and your casts are low

crimson furnace
#

cast SB to be a btter dps, not a better tank

#

works 10/10

cobalt seal
#

Like. 10 5 SB

sick sentinel
#

too many IP maybe? says 117 i think for 2 bosses worth of trash and fight

wild hemlock
#

anyone else remember buying the guide books just to consume content of favorite games

cobalt seal
#

I prob would have done a insta leave if i was the healer

wild hemlock
#

there was no wiki or anything to look up online

chrome falcon
cobalt seal
#

And went into Twitter saying pwar is dead and super squishy

chrome falcon
#

serious question

#

you pressed your most important button

#

FIVE TIMES

cobalt seal
#

Its yogi

sick sentinel
#

yes, not enough shield block and i look at and compare it to IP and its very low in comparison

chrome falcon
#

you basically didn't have a shield equipped

cobalt seal
#

He doesnt read

chrome falcon
#

ok

#

so that's it

#

so stop thinking about it

#

you don't need to think about other stuff

#

you need to just press shield block

#

remember to press the most important spell prot warrior has

#

nothing else matters

#

compared to that

cobalt seal
#

(its not like he prob had this convo like 10x already)

chrome falcon
#

it's like you're trying to drive a car

cobalt seal
#

And still shows a 5 SB log

chrome falcon
#

but your car literally doesn't have an engine

cobalt seal
chrome falcon
#

or a steering wheel

#

and you're worried that one of your tires might be a little bit flat

sick sentinel
#

... go againe you say?

chrome falcon
#

i just don't get how you can totally forget to press shield block, you really need your UI to be telling you if it's not up

grave crane
#

You should go hit a tanking dummy and work on just pressing SB

#

That’s our big thing is blocking shit

#

Like after charging in and avatar and banner and ravager SB easy then I intervene a melee maybe make a WA that has in big letters PRESS SHIELD BLOCK every time it’s not up and not on CD?

lime urchin
#

Or just use brains

#

And press shield block

#

When you need to shield block

grave crane
#

Alright what’s that?

cobalt seal
#

at current stage of pwar

sick sentinel
#

i did the 17 and it was just as bad but we did it in 33 minutes

#

just want to do 4 15s this wek for 2 rewards,

does anybody know why the hidden artifact appearance script refuses to output anything in chat for me

broken crater
#

as in

#

literally nothing

#

or "empty"?

round cliff
#

literally nothing

i press paste and it just gives me no output

It should tell you true or false

round cliff

it should

it doesnt

could you show what youre pasting

And iirc, the script stopped working

so do i just gotta

yea individual does nothing either

/run print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(44311))
that first, then the other

round cliff

broken crater

I think wowhead comments said smth about the script no longer working

#

Cuz they changed the flag for it

broken crater
#
/dump IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(44311)
strong forum
#

It's a daily thing now, it used to be an instance based thing

#

So all you gotta do is fly down into the cave and check the gold piles

#

To be safe

round cliff
#

i didnt get the emote infront of the cave but i heard it can happen even if u dont get the emote

broken crater
#

there should be something below

round cliff
#

there aint

#

guess ill just go look around

broken crater
#

that would indeed imply thats not a quest flag for it anymore

#

it should be nil tho I reckon?

round cliff
#

nope

broken crater
#

since true/false would imply a quest for that id exists

round cliff
#

bruh

broken crater
#

Returns
isCompleted
boolean - Returns true if completed; returns false if not completed or if the questID is invalid.

round cliff
#

i jumped out of skyhold and i just died

#

amazing

#

but yea no it returns nothing

strong forum
#

Ya happens

#

Since legion

broken crater
#

what happens if you do

#

/dump C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(176)

strong forum
#

And you gotta do it in the cave

broken crater
#

and then if that shows more

#

what happens if you do

#

/dump C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(44311)

strong forum
#

You have to do it in the cave

sick sentinel
#

i didn't take a full note but those "do nothing adds" on mordretha now do something

strong forum
#

Run into cave entrance until zone text appears, then run script

round cliff
sick sentinel
#

they have there scaling up or something i think i heard

strong forum
#

No the /run print

broken crater
#

176is literally hogger

round cliff
#

176 shows false

broken crater
#

so you didnt kill hogger, fair enough, but the command itself works

strong forum
#

/run print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(44311))

Inside the cave

round cliff
#

44311 in the cave shows false

strong forum
#

Then you don't have the event

#

You need 44311 true and 44312 false

#

Then the event is up

round cliff
#

you can class trial spam this i heard

strong forum
#

Yes

#

Any singular prot warri at the required min level has a 1 per day chance

#

For the event to spawn

sick sentinel
chrome falcon
#

need to remember to cast last stand for banner

round cliff
#

is the quickest way to highmountain on a class trial just the aszuna portal

chrome falcon
#

oh i'm sorry

#

you were lasting LS

#

didn't see it

sick sentinel
#

shaman died to melee first pack, and then we, blew up somehow on mord, somebody brez and we kill it

broken crater
#

should still have nearly 2x the shield block amount

#

more shield slam, less ignore pain

#

less thunder clap

#

more execute

strong forum
#

Not the best example of a pwar log tbf

alpine shard
#

so you're saying i need to press squeek more often

broken crater
#

im afraid ill have to get one now

round cliff
#

does the chance at the hidden appearance reset with the daily reset timer

#

as in now

sick sentinel
#

i want to get the green sword from ZM

#

killed that mob about 5 to 10 times now

urban portal
#

what made bolster good in bfa

sweet summit
#

it was on AM and a row where no other talent was good

urban portal
#

and was AM bad?

#

i thought yall had giga rage like now

sweet summit
#

no

#

AM owned

ocean yoke
#

he means am affected last stand too

sweet summit
#

oh

#

yeah

#

sorry

ocean yoke
#

am baseline pls blizzard hopium

sweet summit
chrome falcon
#

bolster was also your only real way to fill a SB gap

ocean yoke
#

id guess its a warrior class talent if i had to

sweet summit
#

for sure

#

haven't looked into it

#

but would that handicap our spec tree?

chrome falcon
#

anger management first talent in warrior baseline blizz pls

sweet summit
#

if it's far down?

stuck kite
ocean yoke
#

depends on what the tree ends up looking like, dk/druid ones you could do a couple of the bottom row ones if it ends up there

dawn canyon
#

I can see AM on the main warrior tree

stuck kite
#

Or maybe a things with victory rush, like cooldown reduce

dawn canyon
#

Since all 3 have it

sick sentinel
#

i vote for execute at any time RNG proc free baseline

stuck kite
#

But in fact tjis should be bolstering who need to be baseline

ocean yoke
#

now ashen jugg would be fun to keep

sick sentinel
#

condemn needs to stay for arms or fury, or both

sand drum
#

Hello friends, going into mythic progress (late into patch) wondering for Dausegne if NF is recommended or can we leap over halo ? 🤔

stuck kite
#

Or

#

Anger management reducing last stand cd too

#

Like it was at bfa

ocean yoke
#

cant leap halos, at least im pretty sure, but you can just stay necro for it and go through the rings normally

sick sentinel
#

give players the option to have unbreakable will, and misshappen mirror. Norg's Sagacity would be a geat auto fill talent for caster classes

Last time people get to vote on anything

We got trains in m+

You cant vote

what dungeon would you prefer over it

oblique garnet
#

Maw Of Souls

chrome falcon
#

literally any wod dungeon would be better than trains

#

maybe auchindoun would be worse

dawn canyon
#

slag mines is equally shit

ocean yoke
#

theyd have to cut all the rp and portal crap for auchindon

#

otherwise it would be miserable

dawn canyon

its as linear as train

blazing condor

10 min dungeon in that case

water tastes like this

We talk for 10 mins

Human/Dwarf warr better overall?

#

For dps and prot

#

I feel the difference is too tiny to tell

chrome falcon
#

the difference between all races is 100% irrelevant

#

play what you want

narrow fog
#

If stoneform was all dmg and not just physical

dawn canyon
#

High high key andies are dwards

narrow fog
#

I would lean dwarf lightly

dawn canyon
#

But unless you are doing 30s

#

No reason to pivot

#

(dwarf looks better so id go dwarf)

narrow fog
#

My plan for next xpac is to push mythic+ reasonably and do well in mythic raiding (prob not first tier tho, till I get situated)

#

Basically, find a top 1000 guild or something, and work my way up

#

I should have the free time, and pwarr is a class that I really like

dawn canyon
#

First tier would be good

#

Clean slate

narrow fog
#

Human looks good in that shit

dawn canyon
#

It do

oblique garnet
#

DiD is best for damage iirc

#

Or maybe lightforged draenei

narrow fog
#

Then work my way up

dawn canyon
narrow fog
#

Realistically, gonna play both dps and prot

#

I don't believe in that "i only play one spec"

#

But I do favor prot a bit

#

I think I'll go dwarf

narrow fog
#

Get away from me

#

Draenei are cool tho, but lightforged ones???

dawn canyon
#

Dworf look good

Quick Question, I have always been Gnome and specifically what comes to mind is DOS in arden esp. when you are pulling the birds the water right there is fucking tilting and terrible as a gnome. If i race change to dwarf do they experience that same problem?

narrow fog
#

Btw, do you guys know that the Devastator talent is actually bugged and doesn't work before level 28?

sick sentinel
#

i dunno if everyone got one, but i got email says, put in 5 battle tags and if such and such happens they'll all get 30 days game time

narrow fog
dawn canyon
#

And get a free faction Transfer?

sick sentinel
#

i only have to send the 5 things? they don't have to do something in return? hmm, i couldn't think of 5 players i still have battle tags with

usually keep friend list short

No procs + auto attack dmg is same

There are 30730 toys out there

#

With level 28 you unlock shield slam rank 2 which unlocks the reset part of it

#

Devastator tooltip just isn't updated below level 28

narrow fog
#

Well, it makes no sense to take the talent then

#

It should be better worded

#

You are right

strong forum

I mean it's still more dmg

Diving suit

Than not running it

It's not

then whats this

bro

#

you dont need to post an entire bluepost

cinder storm
#

Lol

strong forum
#

so to clarify what this means

#

all those mobs will behave like back in legion

#

where they just dont cast the ability and run after the tank

#

its not just a range increase or anything, they will exclusively attack the tank until they can hit with these mechanics

#

oh, is it simple?

ultra simple

literally just a miniboss every now and again which will give you a 2% stat increase of your choice per stack

thats it

you will get over 20% of said chosen stat throughout the key

depends if its worth or not

queen bobcat
#

Does Revenge still have higher priority on 3 targets with the execute buff?

chrome falcon
#

uh

#

that's a good question

chilly brook
#

Go to a target dummy group

#

Hit revenge

#

And compare to new execute value

queen bobcat
#

could just do revenge dmg * 3 and compare to execute damage, if you go by tooltips

chilly brook
#

Tooltips aren’t exactly accurate

queen bobcat
#

so how you gonna compare to new execute value then? Stand at dummy for 10 min until you reach execute range? 😄

chilly brook
#

Do you not have any fights where you already used it in details?

#

Or logs?

queen bobcat
#

sure I do. But what's the point of the training dummy then? Could just check in logs what revenge does...

chilly brook
#

You could

#

There’s more than one way to skin a cat

queen bobcat
#

seems like it's even or slightly behind revenge if you use 20 rage

#

if you use 40 rage, you would probably keep on using execute up to 5 targets

#

would need to sim it though

narrow fog
#

out of the 2 dps specs, is fury or arms better for leveling?

strong forum
#

Prot

queen bobcat
#

Fury imo

narrow fog
#

prot probably best for elites and shit ye?

#

but dps is faster to kill normal mobs

strong forum
#

Prot can pull 15 mobs

queen bobcat
#

but you can pull bigger as prot

strong forum
#

Fury can't

#

Arms can't

narrow fog
#

yeah true

strong forum
#

Leveling to 50 takes like 10hrs

narrow fog
#

although, you are kinda squishier at lower lvl

sick sentinel
#

prot can't be dis-mounted due to daze from back attacks

alpine shard
#

what level do you unlock victory rush?

sick sentinel
#

immune to daze = almost immune to dismount

alpine shard
#

at that point it's free

narrow fog
#

i think like 8 or something

#

idk

#

maybe earlier

strong forum
#

You have VR before you can choose a spec I think

narrow fog
#

yeah

#

i was just interested

sick sentinel
#

don't take impending victory, it's bad, even with +10% hp heal

narrow fog
#

because i usually que tank + dps for dungs

strong forum
#

I just quested

#

You get to 30 in like 3-4hrs

narrow fog
#

i do both tbh

#

i'll prob just level prot the

#

then(

#

who cares

#

switch to fury if i get bored

#

gg ez

#

btw, here is an interesting think

#

are there more dps warriors or retri paladins?

strong forum
#

Warriors

#

Warri is the most popular melee dps in 15s

narrow fog
#

yeah 2 specs prob true

#

i think retri is kinda weak now, no?

chrome falcon
#

ret is good

strong forum
#

It's not weak, but it's not amazing either

chrome falcon
#

just super unpopular

strong forum
#

Its solid

chrome falcon
#

because prot and holy are both better specs most of the time

#

and a lot of the players are bad

narrow fog
#

LOL

chrome falcon
#

the ret i play with is absolutely top tier so my perspective might be skewed

sick sentinel
chrome falcon
#

ret hasn't been good good for

#

literal years

sick sentinel
#

so many more options on mage warlock or rogue or hunter to do big DPS

narrow fog
#

but warlock has been top 5 dps for 15 years straight since 2007

#

BALANCE

sick sentinel
#

mage as well, rogues

narrow fog
#

literally there is not a year where all 3 lock specs are bad

#

not

sick sentinel
#

notice a pattern? the classes with only dps option does most dps

narrow fog
#

ONE

#

stupid design but i get what you are saying

sick sentinel
#

that's why i like to take rogue/mage/hunter/lock so much

narrow fog
#

the least manliest of specs are always top

#

smh

strong forum
#

Rogues are rarely proper good in raid

sick sentinel
#

how can you go wrong with the classes that litterally anything they choose brings up dps in some way, and they then have like, 4 options for a slowing effect, it just make so much sense to me

strong forum
#

Ranged have alot easier time to shine in raids

narrow fog
#

wotlk and tbc rogues got shat on

ocean yoke
#

tbf rogue/mage/lock is 9 dps specs and a huge chunk of the dps specs id be more surprised if there wasnt always a top tier one coming out of those

strong forum
#

M+ has been usually largely melee focused cuz of the much more frequent access to CC and defensives aswell as preferable dmg patterns

narrow fog
#

i will probably find myself mostly tanking M+ and mostly dpsing raids

#

when I return

#

based on past experiences

sick sentinel
#

hell no, i played rogue till cata rogue was fine till it got the giant rework

strong forum
#

Nothing more boring than playing dps

#

If you ask me

narrow fog
strong forum
#

Barely do mechanics, all you do is slam your rotation away

chrome falcon
#

it does not depend

#

nomer is correct

#

objectively speaking

#

there can be no debate on the matter

#

fuck dps

narrow fog
#

i disagree, but everyone has an opinion

sick sentinel
#

i mean, if u did the most dps in the raid boss fight, u did the most dps, so your the best

narrow fog
#

i find both tank and mdps equally fun

hardy ridge
#

Dps is ez

narrow fog
#

literally the worst metric

#

because there is so many variables...

sick sentinel
#

i'd say no, if you die, your dps = zero

#

can't kill a boss with no dps

chrome falcon
#

"if you did the most dps you did the most dps"

hardy ridge
#

There are variables but someone who can consistently parse is a pretty good metric

chrome falcon
#

"can't kill a boss with no dps"

#

truly golden nuggets of wisdom i must take notes

ocean yoke
sick sentinel
#

it's the truth though

narrow fog
#

there are ups and downs

#

depends on boss fight

#

although, watching current tier

chrome falcon
#

it is very rare that the person who does the most dps in my guild is also our best player

narrow fog
#

i think tanks have a way more fun and engaging experience

#

looking at Jailer especially

#

tank job seems harder

#

idk, from an outside PoV

Just move a big blue bald man around a platform with many holes

#

Then wipe bc dps fall in hole

sick sentinel
#

i did LFR jailer and someone stole the hole i was supposed to go in, so bomb went off and i jumped in (arms)

hardy ridge
#

You can go in same hole, no homo

toxic pewter
#

wait isnt it 1 to a hole

narrow fog
#

I always feel frustrated as tank when dps is low, feels very bad

strong forum
#

If need be 2 people can go into the same hole, just need to use defensives

#

Idk bout lfr tho

#

Dunno if you need defensives there

hardy ridge
#

You can live it on mythic with dr

chrome falcon
#

you don't need to press your damage buttons on lfr

sick sentinel
#

it was more like, he ninja'd me on it and jumped in the hole like, INSTANTLY it felt like,

chrome falcon
#

let alone your defensive buttons

sick sentinel
#

didn't really have time to react to he was doin it, normally if i get it i wait for the countdown, before jump down

toxic pewter
# strong forum Idk bout lfr tho

honestly even in lft defensives is good because i did lfr a bit ago and people went in same hole and it basically wiped the raid

chrome falcon
#

people going down the same hole won't wipe the raid

#

it'll just hurt them

strong forum
#

^

chrome falcon
#

the only way it could wipe the raid is on higher difficulties

#

where people expect a pillar to come up

#

and it doesn't

#

and they get mc'd

errant wagon
#

Mattacate, my sensei

#

I tried to be better

#

Those tips felt very impactful honestly

#

Spires is kinda a dumb log to look at but yeah just everything you mentioned yesterday I rolled into my gameplay, or tried to

#

lol

sick sentinel
#

thats my new key is spires 18

chrome falcon
#

banner uptime looks noticeably better

jagged pier
#

blocked hits 66%

#

👀

errant wagon
#

It felt noticeably better!

chrome falcon
#

blocked hits definitely low though

errant wagon
#

Ugh yeah idk what I'm doing wrong with the blocks.
I have this big ass weak aura bar that shows my shield block and I try to keep that sucker up all the time

#

constantly using reprisal

#

idk what I'm doing wrong in that department. It FEELS like I have it up way more than 66% of in combat time

#

can you not block if they are hitting your back or something lol

chrome falcon
#

uh

chrome falcon
#

have you.... been backtanking?

errant wagon
#

I may be guilty a little

chrome falcon
#

because yeah you can't block dodge or parry shit that's behind you

errant wagon
#

🙈

chrome falcon
#

because, y'know

#

it's

#

behind you

#

180 degree arc in front of you can be block/dodge/parry'd

#

behind you cannot

errant wagon
#

is there a way to overlay in combat time + shield block buff on here

#

cus maybe that will tell a story

chrome falcon
#

uh

#

i dunno about that but i don't think so

#

remember that 70% block uptime isn't gonna translate to 70% blocked hits

jagged pier
#

we dont care about uptime

#

we literally only care about blocked hits

errant wagon
#

Yea, i look at the actually blocks in the damage taken chart

#

Someone educated me on that already

#

but I'm just curious if I'm back tanking haha

#

thought that stat might help me figure out

chrome falcon
#

i don't think you can detect backtanks in logs

errant wagon
#

Cus I mean ideally if you had 100% uptime during combat, you would have 100% blocks, no?

chrome falcon
#

well yeah

jagged pier
#

vi 👏 di 👏 o 👏

chrome falcon
#

that'd do it too

errant wagon
#

yea I should be recording

#

Ok ima def record my next

hardy ridge
#

Mobs need to be noticeably behind you to backtank

#

Shouldnt be that difficult to adjust now that you know

chrome falcon
#

rage wastage isn't too bad but can always be improved

#

and your SS casts are still low

errant wagon
#

fuck

jagged pier
#

i mean alot of the casts are tbh

chrome falcon
#

it's spires so a lot of non-combat time compared to some other keys like sanguine but still

#

also only 9 SW casts which i mean

#

if you didn't die it's not the end of the world but

#

you always always want to reduce damage intake as much as possible

errant wagon
#

yea only one death from 3rd boss, every other part of the dungeon was chill

wild hemlock
#

ive been spamming shield wall after the wednesday shit storm in here

errant wagon
#

never really felt close to death but I'll keep it in mind

wild hemlock
#

anger management reduces CD

#

and we get soooooo much rage

chrome falcon
#

what happened on third boss

errant wagon
#

2nd round of the orb soaks, healer died right before it started

#

DPS got the boss dead as I was soaking

#

lol

chrome falcon
#

oh yeah i see

#

you die at 21:57 and i'm just looking at 20:40-22:00

#

and you didn't cast spell reflect once

errant wagon
#

I'm garbage

chrome falcon
#

should have been cast at least twice

hardy ridge
#

Does anyone feel like reviewing my anduin prog logs? Never had someone look over them, could prolly learn something

chrome falcon
#

go for it shpack

hardy ridge
wild hemlock
#

@errant wagon you can aoe stun the birds. spell reflect all the dots back at em

chrome falcon
#

^ this is big tech

errant wagon
#

Do you spell reflect the orb's themselves?

chrome falcon
#

not actually that useful in practice but good fun

#

no

#

but

#

you take 20% less damage

#

and don't go splat

errant wagon
#

also that is a crazy cool strat @wild hemlock , thanks

wild hemlock
#

on fortified weeks your dps skyrockets on that pack lol

chrome falcon
#

overall you only actually cast spell reflect 9 times

#

which is extremely low

wild hemlock
#

you can also spell reflect the slimes in DoS after shockwaving them

errant wagon
#

I am baffled on how the SS casts are still low I'm trying to click that thing on CD such that I won't overcap

jagged pier
#

lots of wasted rage for a boss fight

chrome falcon
#

you need to be casting spell reflect any time you're taking magic damage

jagged pier
#

low intervene

#

lower blocked hits than i'd expect

errant wagon
#

Is that to me or anduin log Jakey, haha

jagged pier
#

anduin log

hardy ridge
#

Lmao im trash

errant wagon
#

Ok well thanks again @chrome falcon the next will be even better...

chrome falcon
#

not really shpack you should have a look at my anduin kill log

errant wagon
#

I think I need to put spell reflect on an easier button to click

chrome falcon
#

i had 0 banner for like the entire of p3

#

i just wanna clarify zane

#

we're not actually

#

clicking

#

right

errant wagon
#

na

#

ha

wild hemlock
#

phew

chrome falcon
#

never hurts to check lmao

#

but yes

#

spell reflect is one of our best spells

#

20% magic dr on 20 second cooldown

#

even ignoring the obvious actual reflect part of it

errant wagon
#

The DR goes away though once you reflect something doesn't it?

chrome falcon
#

sure

#

unfortunately...

#

didn't used to

#

but still

errant wagon
#

😭

chrome falcon
#

20% magic DR on-demand is insane

#

and something literally no other tank has

sick sentinel
#

21 bad SB uses in that +17 theatre

errant wagon
#

Yea, I have been using for some of the big notable things, like specific boss mechanics, but I just have been lazy on rolling it into trash packs

#

I will do better

sick sentinel
#

of 98, so i really casted 77 good shield blocks that mattered

chrome falcon
#

yeah you need to get used to using it just any time you're taking magic damage

#

which is basically every boss

#

.... and basically every trash pack...

errant wagon
#

Aye aye

chrome falcon
#

but one thing that i noticed

#

these are your charge casts

#

these are mine

#

so even mine are pretty bad because of those two giant gaps

#

it's not easy to get charges off during the LK phase but try to find them when you can

#

you have nearly 60 full seconds where you don't charge at all from 0:30 to 1:30

#

that's 80 rage, 2 revenges, and 8 seconds of SB potentially lost

hardy ridge
#

Yeah ive been losing focus trying to taunt the monstrous soul

chrome falcon
#

yeah

#

that shit

#

annoying as hell

#

i had a pull where it spawned on our boomie on the other side of the room

hardy ridge
#

But i disabled the bars of the smallies and made a macro for it

chrome falcon
#

i leapt over

#

taunted it

#

and before it reached me, the taunt dropped and it went back to the boomie

hardy ridge
#

So i get charges there too now

chrome falcon
#

that was a wipe keks

#

yeah this was just one random pull

hardy ridge
#

Yeah i feel thay

chrome falcon
#

but by the time i killed that boss i could pretty much tell you exactly when i was charging for the first 7 mins

#

make sure you go downstairs with both charges on CD

#

and then use both of those charges when you come back up

hardy ridge
#

I usually charge an add downstairs

#

While grouping

#

Then charge when i come back up to anduin

chrome falcon
#

yeah that's up to you guys and how you do that phase

#

i don't have to charge anything so i just do it while andy casts

hardy ridge
#

For the ovetcapped rage i likely cap a few times a bit on pull with last stand and getting my intervene and charges on cd, im spamming ignore pain and ss to dump leading to less hits blocked. I usually keep ss when i need it since i generally dont take damage with banner up. I get to like 25+ sec buff on pull

chrome falcon
#

anduin's melee swings are pretty pathetic individually but you certainly want to make sure you're still blocking them

errant wagon
#

Oh hey one more question.
So last night I noticed with my Banner uptime being better, I was sustaining my buff long enough such that I had another banner cast available.

Do you ever re-cast banner so that you apply the buff to your partners, or do you sit on it so that you can just get back into banner instantly once it does fall?

hardy ridge
chrome falcon
#

no dk for downstairs weird unfortunate

hardy ridge
chrome falcon
narrow fog
#

would you say prot warr needs some extra utility cooldown/buff to round it off as a spec?

chrome falcon
#

if you can very easily maintain better on your next packs i would recast it

#

if you're scared it's going to drop off during some downtime, just hold it

errant wagon
#

ok, thanks 🙂

chrome falcon
#

prot had the exact same utility in bfa

#

and it was the best spec

narrow fog
#

what would you guys change?

chrome falcon
#

nothing

#

prot is incredibly fun to play and very strong

#

🙂

narrow fog
#

perhaps a bit of a rework to spell reflect?

chrome falcon
#

SR staying after a reflect like it did during legion would be nice

narrow fog
#

a slight buff, but a shorter window maybe?

#

as in, 35% reduc, but 3 second window

#

let's say

chrome falcon
#

seems unnecessary

#

that would be basically the same total reduction overall

mighty valley
#

worse for long dots etc

narrow fog
#

true, but it would help against hard hitting magic abilities

#

and it would be worse ish for dots

chrome falcon
#

dots are way scarier

#

imo

narrow fog
#

hmm, i see

chrome falcon
#

either way just feels unnecessary

mighty valley
#

it's a weird time to pitch changes when the talent changes are gonna introduce dozens of small changes

sick sentinel
#

dots are way less scary if you are dwarf

narrow fog
#

nah, i am just asking

#

not saying change x to y

#

just want to see what you guys think

#

@chrome falcon do you also play dps, or just tank mainly?

#

i mean, on the same level i guess, goofing around is secondary

sick sentinel
#

when do we get the rewards from survey

chrome falcon
#

i have like one dps parse in my whole life

#

and i think it was high blue/low purple

#

got 2.1k on fury in bfa

#

that's basically my dpsing experience

narrow fog
#

do you push Mythic Raid Tiers as prot only?

chrome falcon
#

yep

narrow fog
#

cool

#

are you past Halondrus this tier?

#

seems like a "insert insult here" boss

jagged pier
#

what halondrus is piss easy after the nerfs

narrow fog
#

what got nerfed exactly?

mighty valley
#

the whole raid has been giganerfed since launch

chrome falcon
#

everything about halondrus got nerfed

narrow fog
#

timers?

#

oh

chrome falcon
#

you can literally let balls hit the boss

#

bombs last 3x as long

narrow fog
#

well shit

chrome falcon
#

health nerf

jagged pier
#

in terms of tank damage it was never nerfed but it was a joke to begin with

chrome falcon
#

we're on rygelon atm

#

got him to 10% last night so he dies sunday

narrow fog
#

rygelon dps check

chrome falcon
#

nah

#

the dps check is the easy part imo

jagged pier
#

no rygelon is a joke

narrow fog
#

well

#

clearly it is not?

jagged pier
#

we killed him before his final long cast

chrome falcon
#

rygelon slams your tanks extremely hard and your dps will be idiots and pick up puddles they shouldn't do

#

and the healing is hard

#

that's it

jagged pier
#

i mean u can legit have someone dead the whole fight

#

and still meet the dps check

chrome falcon
#

yeah

#

we're on track to not even see massive bang cast

#

which sucks

mighty valley
#

it was tight before nerfs and gear

chrome falcon
#

because i want to execute

narrow fog
#

kek

#

every warr wants to

#

press exe this patch

mighty valley
#

it's the thing we're best at

narrow fog
#

it is kind of cool imo

#

i was looking at sense jailer kill

#

Btw, is it my experience only, and this has happened on retail and private servers, that when you join a guild and do great as a mdps, and show up all the time, it's only a matter of time till they ask you to:

  1. Tank dungeons for guildies
  2. Off tank sometimes, on 3 tank fights always and sometimes on 2 man ones
  3. You have to become a tank
#

That's the trajectory I have taken in 99% of my guilds...

#

Every guild master in WoW shares the same brain...

Both silvermoon and ravencrest are alright

fucki wanna be alliance char so bad

#

dumb not having cross faction guilds

narrow fog

Silvermoon has like 2 guilds that are 11/11 Jailer M

And ravencrest has one

But swamp animals are close soon i believe

And there's like 10 other guilds each realm that are 9/11 or 8/11

We need to change the Thunder Clap sound effect back to what it was in Warcraft 3

pallid quiver
#

I'm slightly late, but guilds are coded very weirdly into the game. Making them cross faction's actually a bit of work. Cross faction parties is a lot more like a basic code switch, complicated by faction specific instances but can still be done, but guilds are weird

Also, how do you know about how they are coded into the game? Is part of the code public?

Can confirm coding in c++ more difficult than sexually harassing coworkers :(
