good banner is 80% in details in m+ or 90% in raid fights

#

IP we literally dont care we just dump rage into it

blazing condor
#

80+% effective blocks on SB

sick sentinel
#

my problem now mostly seems to be i don't do banner last stand whatever else precharge

#

i just, ravager and charge, then hit those cds

blazing condor
#

small minmaxing tbh

#

its important

#

but im sure there's more things you can focus on and not fret about the banenr uptime

robust rover
#

278 or 272 for prot? 278 is ~1% more dps per SIMs. Haste is 33 vs 34% baseline.

dawn canyon
#

ilvl is good

#

take ilvl

strong forum
#

Phew..

robust rover
#

sorry wrong cloak this one

dawn canyon

also avoid on it

Still ilvl tbh

jagged pier
#

still the same answer

robust rover
#

k, sounds good

strong forum
#

Losing 35 haste isn't a big deal

#

It sucks, but isn't big of a deal

#

Maybe the raid cloak has better stats idk

#

Can check at creation catalyst if you like the stats it grants you more

#

Which is why bad wrists don't rly exists, for example, cuz you can just CC them into crit/haste wrists okayge

Catalyst cloak is like crit mastery

explain plz

why is it worse

potent anvil

Mass rez cancels on combat

If it's one person, healer should single rez. Assuming tank can handle their own for awhile.

I just finished playing league

Back to binging one piece

Yeah ofc i won

#

Still hella washed up but almost back to plat

#

No idea about the last ones

#

Back when i seriously played it was challenger>master>diamond>plat>gold>silver>bronze

#

Now theres some inbetween challenger and master

potent anvil
#

I made it to diamond 1 during s3 ExcitedBlushette
Haven't played league since.

#

Or w/e is the league before masters

#

I'm a top/jungler andy. Make solo plays, hope team follows up gladge

oblique garnet

Master was added in s4 iirc

#

Because d1 queue times were horrendous

potent anvil
#

Yeah I was playing too much LoL during college, made it to D1 and didn't do promotionals because school work gladge

Kinda want to see if i can get back to high elo again

I'm a boomer, literally about to be owning in retirement homes seramore

252 prot pala in a 21 halls okayge

Gotta spam dos for scale deadge

Don’t think so

I have an iqd..kinda dont like it. Might be good though

alpine shard
sick sentinel
#

272 all slots

#

I'm happy with that

#

i remade the glory gloves with crit cuz why not, stats are ASS on gloves anyways imho

#

just have to farm out dos belt and pray for 278 haste weapon from vault and i got everything ever wanted

old flame
#

Thoughts? the discordant deathblade is 265 so not a contender

toxic pewter
#

I mean I like the haste personally, I would take it over the 4 tokens ya

chrome falcon
#

it's pretty close

sick sentinel
#

i'd take it

chrome falcon
#

if your haste sucks go axe otherwise i'd probably just socket

sick sentinel
#

not a chance i wouldn't bis max lvl + tert

toxic pewter
#

then again 4 tokens toward a socket is not bad either

chrome falcon
#

axe is an upgrade and avoidance never hurts

#

but if you want a socket then 🤷‍♂️

old flame
#

that's how I was leaning anyway just a lil bit more avoidance is nice

#

thanks!

Haste is a drug

Don’t take haste

Haste vers isn't BIS per se, but it's pretty neck/neck with crit anyway

urban portal
#

I would not waste a vault on fixing stats yeah

cinder nova
#

Go with whatever gets your more STR tbh.

#

Pwarr gearing is, for all intents and purposes, laughably easy.

#

Like, you could absolute CE by just smoothbraining whatever is higher ilvl and pretty much ignore secondaries and be fine.

#

Warrior leans pretty heavily on play more than perfect itemization of your secondary stats.

urban portal
#

That’s the case for tanks in general

cinder nova
#

And they're all close enough together that even a mastery-heavy Warr should be able to hack it just fine, if a bit turbulently.

#

BDK is pretty much "hope you don't overmarrow yourself into a slow death kekw"

#

It's so funny too because you know you're gonna get yourself killed like 1.5 minutes before you do because of how you cocked up your rhythm.

#

It's almost on-brand for - of all tanks - the death knight to know how and when it'll precisely beef.

does dasausage hurt this much or am I bad

like im doing 8k hps

little more room for error, but definitely feels bad when DRW drops and you still have 15s before the next one

Unless you're pushing extraordinarily high keys, your trinkets are pretty irrelevant tbh.

hearty perch
#

Guys,
How much is a good percentage of Uptime from conquero's Banner in dungeon? Do you have an ideal number?

scenic mural
#

people will just tell u 100 but generally 80 is a good run

hearty perch
#

omg, i'm doing 40%.
Shield blocks i can do 95%, but conquero's banner i will need to impruve. Some advice?

#

i'm 32% haste

vernal vale
#

Dungeons I am 80%+ but logs are considerably lower. Plus some dungeons like spires will force you to drop banner as you have to fly on the angels

vernal vale
undone verge
#

ignore pain is big

#

having rage for when that drops

vernal vale
#

Ignore pain is basically just to prevent rage capping. The absorb is whatever.

undone verge
#

the absorb is big generally you want 70%+ IP uptime

#

80%+ Shieldblock and 70% IP is usually a good run

vernal vale
#

It's literally only up that much because you have to dump rage.

undone verge
#

not really, if I needed to dump rage id do it on revenge cause thats damage

#

but survivability wise play off revenge and reprisal procs spend rage on ip

#

revenge if youre gonna cap

vernal vale
#

Revenge doesn't spend enough rage to be used as a dump. Your saying the opposite of what the best players say.

hearty perch
#

top dg.

undone verge
#

im not sitting there spamming revenge im literally just spending rage on ip and pressing like 1 revenge if im at risk of capping

ocean yoke
#

youre gimping yourself on rage gen then since revenge is rage usage+chance to reset shield slam CD

vernal vale
pallid quiver
#

Revenge is more rage on return because of more SS

hearty perch
vernal vale
#

Revenge is also lots of threat and damage.

pallid quiver
#

so you're spending less rage in comparison due to gaining more out of it

#

Meanwhile the absorb on IP is asssssss

ocean yoke
#

IP comes in as the "i literally cant use revenge enough to avoid overcapping rage" button

pallid quiver
#

it's something, but it's less than the survivability obtained from the SS resets giving more rage to fuel banner

vernal vale
# hearty perch I dont have log, just details.

Okay, so based on that screenshot it's probably just about hitting speed to gain and spend rage quickly without waste. I would also guess your using outburst on TC which you should mostly be avoiding.

#

Next time you run a dungeon log it and the we can see where your play issues are.

scenic mural
vernal vale
#

It's such a huge cycle

undone verge
hearty perch
scenic mural
pallid quiver
#

It's also worth noting that if you flat out never use Outburst on TC, you might actually be cheating yourself out of rage. It's better to blow outburst on TC over praying for a devastator reset or if you'd accidentally overwrite outburst before getting SS back, for example. Though again, we don't know for sure without proper logs

vernal vale

#

ignore pain is literally just to spend rage when u are going to overcap. i would be terrified to see your revenge cpm

Better to hit a button than sit around for several seconds hitting nothing

undone verge

revenge CPM overall including downtime is 7

vernal vale

Oh gross

#

That's a bad run too

scenic mural
#

7 is terrible

undone verge
#

how much dmg is your overall?

scenic mural
#

what kind of dps are you doing overall and in what keys

undone verge
#

11K in 20+

#

like this one was a 10, I had 437 revenge casts

#

havnt done a 20 in a while

vernal vale
#

Show logs

undone verge
#

Let me try to find some that were logged

ocean yoke
#

you could add like 1-2k to that and likely not lose any real survivability with more revenges, youll be able to bump up your rage numbers even more

#

oh youre kyrian

pallid quiver
#

not even banner

undone verge
#

I dont like banner

#

yeah its worse but personal preference

#

spear gives me a ton of insta rage gen

vernal vale
#

Those casts are incredibly low

ocean yoke
#

thats a fuck ton of thunder clap damage, i would guess youre using outbursts on it

undone verge
#

yes

pallid quiver
ocean yoke
#

youll get some better peformance out of the tier procs if you use it on slam, the slams damage and the revenges you can cast out of it will do more overally than a buffed thunder clap

vernal vale
#

Fair enough

ocean yoke
#

not to mention the extra rage

pallid quiver
#

Any arguments centered on banner aren't going to exist since it's not relevant, so I've already stopped. They've already admitted banner's the better play, but they're not using it, so shrug, nothing else to say

undone verge
#

its just personal preference, like I get its better but I find spear more fun

#

and im not gonna push anything past a 22 so I dont really care too much about min maxing that

ocean yoke
#

kyrian def suboptimal but can run it and not be totally inting

#

kyrian or necro revenge great button still

undone verge
#

its nice insta threat gen so I dont need to worry about revenge spam to hold aggro

vernal vale
#

Should still be using it more for shield slam resets to get more rage

pallid quiver
#

On a technical matter, if you want to perform, there's no personal preference; the mitigation, damage, and base fluidity of the class is Necrolord by so much it's not actually viable on a performance aspect to be Kyrian. It'll function, but you can't talk optimizing the class if that's the decision you're making

undone verge
#

true, I guess I dont play necro so I didnt realise the playstyle was that wholely diff from kyrian

urban portal
#

Even with Kyrian it’s the same

#

You have plenty of rage gen from base kit to never actually press ip

#

You still overflow on a ton of rage

pallid quiver
#

It's mostly the same, but the incentive just isn't there to keep everything rolling nearly as much

urban portal
#

Pressing ip for an actual mitigation is just bad

vernal vale
median tulip
#

IP mitigation just /happens/ you don't have to plan for it

undone verge
#

idk maybe I micro manage my rage too much then cause I try to wait till it drops to press IP again and spend excess rage on revenge

#

ill have to look at that

pallid quiver
#

you can stack IP up to twice if you're doing that, by the way. It's still pitiful mitigation numbers, but

urban portal
#

Then you are net losing rage in the long run

#

Does anyone have their ignore pain tooltip for me

undone verge
#

wait IP shield stacks to 20k?

vernal vale
#

IP cap is a nothing it lasts 0 time except that we spam the fuck out of it to stop rage capping

undone verge
#

holy shit

#

live and learn

urban portal
#

The cap does nothing

undone verge
#

yep you guys are right lol

urban portal
#

We cast ignore pain to shield for 50

#

Because need to spend rage

vernal vale
urban portal
#

Yeah that one

vernal vale
#

I'm on my phone so not right now sadly lol

undone verge
#

but yeah I see your point now. Always assumed IP spamming was wasted rage but since it stacks to 20k yeah its def a good rage dump

#

or not spamming

#

whatever I mean

vernal vale
#

I hit ignore pain at 80 rage normally and spam revenge most of the time.

urban portal
#

It is wasted rage

#

That’s the whole point

#

You waste that rage to proc anger management

#

You don’t cast ip to mitigate

vernal vale
#

When your in cycle with last stand conduit, ravager etc you spam the fuck out of it just to not cap rage

hardy ridge
# jagged pier low blocked hits 77% should be far higher wasted alot of rage low casts on inter...

yeah I agree that I wasted a lot of rage and could def improve outburst usage on SS but is my intervene actually low? I'm casting it on average every 38 seconds, I feel like that's pretty good on a boss that has really finicky movement.

My blocked hits are low but I feel like i'm not taking much dmg on that fight and I have block up when I need it, but like you said maybe I should be less conservative with SB

what are the 3 questions

how to play better, is prot war good, you cute?

hardy ridge

Is codex good
Is prot warr good
Is prot warr bad in HoA

u forgore about the HR question

HR is better until you get 4 set

hardy ridge

Oh heavy repercussions lmao

onyx vessel
#

yes

#

AM baseline or riot

hardy ridge
#

Yeah i could see that being a common question since it was really good prior to this tier

lofty widget
#

almost definitely will be in 10.0 copium

onyx vessel
lofty widget
#

HR was never "really good"

onyx vessel
#

shoulda be the case for a long time

lofty widget
#

just a crutch imo

blazing condor
#

HR was needed for highest dungeons

hardy ridge
#

^

onyx vessel
#

basically the go to for all warrior specs 90% of the time

blazing condor
#

Thats about it

lofty widget
#

yeah but who did those high dungeons

jagged pier
#

HR wasnt needed in really high dungeons

lofty widget
#

i was timing 26s just fine lst season with AM

jagged pier
#

it was just safer to play, and tanks at high lvls of keys are usually the shot caller

#

so taking HR allowed them to focus more on shot calling and less on SB uptime

onyx vessel
#

i like doing a 17 and getting 1 hit cuz huntards dont know how to kick

hardy ridge
#

Thats fair

onyx vessel
#

best range interrupt doesnt use it copium

jagged pier
#

HR for the general player was literally there because they copied the top io players without understanding why they took it and it covered their bad play so they thought it was good

onyx vessel
#

if you dont know whats good use AM

lofty widget
#

more like if you dont know whats good copy the top guys

onyx vessel
#

sometimes they troll

hardy ridge
#

Was HR good b4 reprisal was buffed this expansion

jagged pier
#

theres a general rule if u dont know why the top players are using x or y then u dont undderstand enough about the class to follow

lofty widget
#

thats partly why ppl keep asking if codex is good

jagged pier
#

so follow what the guides say

onyx vessel
#

log with shit talents/covenant

jagged pier
#

if i pushed keys i would

onyx vessel
#

so if you saw the top 5 pwarrs log with venthyr youd switch to it

jagged pier
#

no

#

because im not dumb

onyx vessel
#

lots of people would

hardy ridge
#

But no cap is codex still worth playing on M rygelon after the nerfs? They added a cap to the absorb right

jagged pier
#

no

#

not for us

hardy ridge
#

Ayt

onyx vessel
#

it does nothing for us

hardy ridge
#

Some ppl are using on that fight

onyx vessel
#

you will 100% see pwarrs with it tho

jagged pier
#

the top amount of Dr it does for prot is 2%

#

because it calulates after everything else

onyx vessel
#

the BDK tank co will be like this trinket is crack

#

the warrior will be like ok time to get it

#

does next to nothing for us

jagged pier
#

1 warrior this season has used on on rygelon

#

so dont use it

hardy ridge
#

Ye some ppl were saying the damage on that fight is so high that its worth

#

For pwarr

jagged pier
#

no

onyx vessel
#

for every tank minus us

#

cuz they are meatshield

hardy ridge
#

I mean i woulda noticed it was bad after a pull or two

onyx vessel
#

with 0 mitigation

hardy ridge
#

Is it good if we dont use a shield

onyx vessel

tbh when i think of undead i mainly think ToP

#

and the bone spear guys are definitely not fearable

#

i still think it's a good rule of thumb that fears dont work on undead, and then there are exceptions

strong forum
#

They are fearable

#

The bonespear/necro volley Bois are humanoid iirc

#

You only think they're undead cuz they look undead

bone magus are undead, i am aware the soulbinders are humanoid

yes they cannot be feared

and obviously u cannot fear undead as matta said

magus are ALWAYS priority target

grave crane

Absolutely insane that a 252 aegis is just that good

sick sentinel
#

magus unchecked will screw over group just due to free casting shit

#

free casting i mean, nobody even tries to interrupt him, or if they do its by accident with a stun attached to one of their attacks

strong forum

It's not 7mil of the 19mil

sick sentinel

as opposed to, locked down which would be the polar opposite, and he's silenced, interrupted, stunned, spell reflect etc

Without IP he would've taken 26mil dmg

ok i see what you mean, thanks!

And a 304 matrix will be around 20k iirc

so, does this mean we can get all the BFA gear/trinkets come s4?

What do you mean "all"

#

Only the mechagon stuff

sick sentinel

i mean, eye of rezan, if thats avialable, i don't think it is

hmm, i thought i heard s4 was switching over to all the m+ was bfa dungeons

strong forum

What

#

It's the 3 mega dungeons since legion + 2 wod dungeons

#

Karazhan, Mechagon, Tazavesh, Iron Docks and Grim rail depot

can you fucking imagine

if s4 was just bfa dungeons

i thought i heard we weren't going to be running shadowlands dungeons for some reason?

yes yogi

i don't know tazavesh or mechagon super well, but i could manage those, don't know at all about iron docks GR karazhan,

chrome falcon
#

yeah aegis is going to be next level

#

i mean it's already next level

grave crane
#

Are mechagon punch cards Gonna be a thing scaled up?

sick sentinel
#

so, whenever the s4 becomes active we can't or don't run shadowlands dungeons anymore? or they just like don't have keys generated for them? if its not finalized thats okay but i'll check into it on wow head if i remember to

grave crane
#

I need to just farm a mythic aegis

chrome falcon
#

there will be no keys for any shadowlands dungeon apart from tazzavesh

#

and we don't know about any of the unique loot stuff broldamort

#

like the wod dungeon loot tables will need to be reworked too probably

grave crane
#

I figured it was still in the air

#

But some of those punch cards are nutty

sick sentinel
#

i'mma have to re-roll dps or go arms/fury with these new dungeons if i cant cut it

You’ll be alright bud it’s all a learning experience

arent the punch cards for that mechagon trinket?

well the best punchcard is the one from rep

and i doubt that's getting scaled up

the dungeon punchcards aren't actually

oh fucking god no i just realized

the motorcycle trinket was pretty good i remember

does it matter? it's like ilvl 30

Not really I’m just gonna get m aegis and OWS most likely

robust rover

OWS and Cheat Death trinket for me

Well, to be fair, OWS with the new point system, the 2nd trinket will depend on what drops and what I want to buy with points between a trinket, weapon, or shield

Which mob? And how does the first boss bug out?

sick sentinel
#

have to ask or assume based on the meta, has even resulted in BORK'd keys due to like, the flag or red slime or some other buff doesn't go off that could help us, or no NF to open the mists door

undone verge
#

I try to use Warcraft logs and just look them up

sick sentinel
#

and your just losing that up time or something that you can't really quantify easily, like a confusion is created because extra mobs pulled or whatever and it takes a full 3-5 seconds to even get fully into being ready to deal with it

drifting fable
#

you dont need necro to utilize the slime buff

#

its nice to have the double buff but you can still sit in the pool

#

and the top flags are just whatever

sick sentinel

i thought you did have to be necro to do the slimes, i did a plaguefall something or other, 15-17 probably and they kept yelling at me SHIELD

the pool gives haste without necro

you can double up with the necro I think is the thing

you get double buff with necro

sick sentinel

i didn't catch on wtf they were talking about figured they wanted me to block stuff, and then at end of key i worked it out, i just forget that you can do those things to begin with

#

so, like, i wasn't doing the FC at all, or in tune with the slimes for whol run, probably lose alot of dps and thus time

lofty widget

it's not a lot really

sick sentinel

Tyranical PF 1 could definitely use as much dps as possible

those slimes are annoying anyways, even with pummel and deathgrip, they are annoying to get placed,

necro feels like trash until you can actually keep banner up. you should be finsihing trash packs with time to get to the next. pf trash is not that spaced out

just run like 1-2 m+'s and there will be about 3 ppl trying to give away some shitty ring lol, take u all of 2 hrs like he said

drifting fable

this is true, necro is much harder if you are struggling to keep your banner up. hit a training dummy and try for full uptime from one cast to the next if you feel like you need work on the banner

chrome falcon

if you're bad at banner you're bad at warrior

keeping banner uptime just requires good rage generation+spending

drifting fable

also pretty much true

chrome falcon

which is what you should be doing anyway

drifting fable

the rotation feeds into it

"keeping up banner" isn't a specific thing you try to do

it just happens when you play correctly

drifting fable

true but its something you can watch as a guideline when you are smacking a dummy however

do you generate similar amounts of rage on a dummy compared to a dungeon?

cuz the formula for it succeeding is already there, and you can already see it

the paragon system + talent tree stuff is taking elements from PoE
the open world + bosses + hundreds of dungeons is combining lost ark with D3 bounties and rifts
the dark and gritty stuff is from d2
then give it the good ol d3 combat polish
throw in some interesting gear and skills and voila

its basically split into int str and dex

so 66% of the tree is irrelevant to you depending on your build

toxic pewter
#

I see

strong forum

of the remaining 33% of the tree like 30% of it is just you going through str/health nodes to get ot the node clusters you want

toxic pewter

is POE a pretty balanced game or wat

no

toxic pewter

oh i see

its not balanced in the slightest

toxic pewter

like the people that play it do they also like 'play the meta' kind of thing

but you can make alot of stuff work if you play in trade league

toxic pewter
#

or is there more variance

I see

lofty widget
#

i mean it just depends how much currency you put into your build

strong forum
#

most people play meta builds

#

just like in wow

#

most meta builds dont require good gear to function

they just do damage because of broken interactions, scaling of abilities

but you can make any build work if you put in alot of currency, but to get currency you have to know wtf youre doing

you cant just get lucky in PoE

80+ ideally, but can get 100

undone verge
#

the pulls are fine for me keeping it up, but my issue is when I need to chain in to another pull

#

like theres still 40 seconds on its duration and we need to do the NW skip for example where itll fall off and I wont have it for that next pack

if it's ner zudah skip you just leap ahead and go hit the two big dudes

#

if it's to the boss then yeah, you need to either hold banner for the boss or use it for the pack before the skip if you cant keep it up for both

#

it is what it is when you do long skips
