if that was a thing

chrome falcon
#

it would be the most absolutely broken thing they'd ever put in the game

#

prot would do more effective healing than healers

urban portal
#

makes AMZ look like its for clowns

drifting juniper
#

well its under prot changes so i tought they made it into one

urban portal
#

well

#

its definitely not clear thats for sure

#

their formatting

mighty valley
#

there is no way they turn demo into a 25% raid dr

#

insane

#

on top of rally???

chrome falcon
#

it would be better devo on no cooldown

drifting juniper
#

they brought back juggernaut for fury

#

stacking to 99 executes

chrome falcon
#

not really the same as legion

#

if fury execute is still a generator

#

but still very nice with prepxecute

drifting juniper
#

we have no idea on how much damage spells do atm

urban portal
#

we kind of do

chrome falcon
#

you don't really need to know the damage

#

execute is a generator with a CD

urban portal
#

juggernaut is going to be hard as balls to keep stacked

#

without massacre

chrome falcon
#

so the rate at which you can get stacks is massively diminished

urban portal
#

and as a builder

chrome falcon
#

compared to legion where you just stacked on stacks

drifting juniper
#

yes but they making condmens into a talent

#

so you can execute till 80 also

molten holly
#

GOD i hope we get neltharions fury for prot

#

would make us legit gods

chrome falcon
#

no it wouldn't

molten holly
#

Big aoe and massive block?

chrome falcon
#

not unless they literally made it do 10x more damage than legion

#

BIG AOE?

#

did you play legion sir

molten holly
#

I did

chrome falcon
#

nelth's fury was a dps loss

#

that shit did negative damage

molten holly
#

and it was very comparable vs some of the tanks in legion

urban portal
drifting juniper
#

prot paladin one was very good

urban portal
#

into the real execute phase

chrome falcon
#

this is massive fake news

#

nelth's fury was easily the worst tank ability

#

it did negative damage

urban portal
#

juggernaut is absurdly bait unless its basically free talent as it stands

sweet summit
#

juggernaut

#

is bad

molten holly
#

Juggernaut would only be viable if condemn was base lined

urban portal
#

its good in tyrannical 57 eye of azshara

urban portal
#

the first 20% ends in like a minute

#

and then juggernaut drops

median tulip
urban portal
#

juggernaut needs to last longer is my only ask

sweet summit
#

juggernaut is toxic gameplay and if fury execute stays a builder it's gonna be even worse

chrome falcon
#

if nelth's fury came back as a spender

#

that did fucking

#

M O N D O damage

#

then we're talking

drifting juniper
#

there was one other thing

#

in general warrior changes

pallid quiver
#

I really don't want Nelth's Fury back, not gonna lie

drifting juniper
#

that buffed excute

pallid quiver
#

I'd only accept it if it was fucking blisteringly busted in damage

drifting juniper
#

nelth fury was nothing compared to druid or paladin abilities

#

i don't remember dh

median tulip
#

I mean, it would make sense if Neltharion's Fury came back for a dragon-themed expansion

#

So don't discount it

urban portal
#

fatality is whatever

#

it just gives you a huge hit

#

thatll be pretty funny on the meters

#

and you cross your finger it crits

#

otherwise doesnt affect your rotation

drifting juniper
#

what is this

#

is this real

sweet summit
#

numbers are not real

#

but that is sword and axe spec yes

#

and it is very cringe

chrome falcon
#

shit's gonna be funny in prepatch

#

nice gavel lads

mighty valley
#

there's also a mace/polearm spec

drifting juniper
#

sesimic reverberation also

#

hm

#

revenge spam?

mighty valley
#

just not sure why they're going back to weapon specific talents, didn't work out the first time

chrome falcon
#

seismic reverb being on class tree is weird

#

it's terrible for both dps specs

#

and basically a meme pick for us

sweet summit
#

i think

chrome falcon
#

i mean 2 weapon specs is definitely a lot less bad than four

sweet summit
#

it's used for arms

median tulip
sweet summit
#

in very niche log whoring

#

situations

mighty valley
#

well yeah, this one says 2h, i was comparing to the sword/axe one

chrome falcon
#

idk i like the idea that you have 2 similar weapons and the difference between which you use is dictated by the encounter

#

buuuuuuuuut

drifting juniper
#

the way people are spamming whirlwind with arms these days in mythic +

chrome falcon
#

could just be toxic?

urban portal
#

yeah arms has a mace one

drifting juniper
#

if that build exists

pallid quiver
#

I like the flavor of weapon spec talents, but they're honestly slightly boring, ngl

drifting juniper
#

semsisc is not bad on them

sweet summit
#

it depends on how they handle weapons

urban portal
#

seismic is not bad if theres no opportunity cost

#

its very decent in aoe

pallid quiver
#

Generally, one of them just eclipses the others

sweet summit
#

but if they do what they've done last two patches now

urban portal
#

especially if it doesnt compete w signet

sweet summit
#

it's horribly toxic

pallid quiver
#

And I don't have complete faith in how they're gonna handle weapons

drifting juniper
#

sesimic with current arms build seems op

chrome falcon
#

weapon specs sucked in classic because of the effort you had to go to to change talent

sweet summit
#

if we get no effect weapons and weapon tokens

#

it's great

chrome falcon
#

and the huge disparity in how strong they were

urban portal
chrome falcon
#

both of those are very fixable

mighty valley
#

yeah

#

"i got a 2h mace. guess i'll get the zero raid value talent"

sweet summit
#

i don't think weapon tokens are returning though

#

yeah sure but

#

you can just

#

swap talents

#

very easily now

#

compared to back then

urban portal
#

think the mace is rly fking bad

mighty valley
#

yeah that's what matt's saying

median tulip
#

The Mace one specifically references Collosus Smash; so I think that it and the sword axe one are Arms-exclusive; no stacking the effects with Juggernaut

urban portal
#

mace also only works for arms

chrome falcon
#

yeah i mean

#

it's called arms

mighty valley
#

yeah we're deep off topic on some arms shit

urban portal
mighty valley
#

and arms is for chumps

chrome falcon
#

so it would make sense for htem to be the specialists who swap weapons

median tulip
#

If one of them is specifically for Arms, both are

chrome falcon
#

the real cringe will be if you have to take a specific specialisation to get other talents

#

but surely not

#

right

drifting juniper
#

do we have 10% leech baseline btw?

urban portal
#

think so

mighty valley
#

the idea of weapons having different playstyles is cool from a theme perspective, just doesn't always line up with the loot system

urban portal
#

basically baseline i guess

chrome falcon
#

we have no real idea

#

but boy it should would be nice

sweet summit
#

not baseline

drifting juniper
#

well its one handed weapone mastery

sweet summit
#

but yes

median tulip
drifting juniper
#

i think its pretty much go to

urban portal
#

sharpened blades is a lot worse

chrome falcon
#

10% leech is

urban portal
#

which is probably the balanced version

chrome falcon
#

a lot of fucking leech

urban portal
#

10% leech is like 1K hps

#

its a lot yeah

median tulip
#

Yes, the Frenzied Flurry one is OP AF

drifting juniper
#

i enjoyed that throw the most

#

so good to finally be able to pull like paladin on warrior

chrome falcon
#

that's

urban portal
#

again like i said, frenzied flurry is not op if they zero out fury auras

chrome falcon
#

maybe going a bit far

drifting juniper
#

throw something at a group and have full aggro on em

chrome falcon
#

since after that throw you're just going to charge

urban portal
#

it will be op at its current stat

chrome falcon
#

and start doing your aoe rotation anyway

drifting juniper
#

you throw it at the pack on the left

#

and charge right

mighty valley
#

paladin does their big damage move that also silences the fuckers

drifting juniper
#

its good damage with higher aggro on aoe

mighty valley
#

we're just getting thrown a bone

drifting juniper
#

not talking about divine toll

#

talking about avenger shield

#

thats basically a bone too but i miss it on my other tanks

median tulip
#

I prefer charging

drifting juniper
#

its not a replacement for charge its for gathering mobs from around

#

to 1 spot

median tulip
#

Make Charge empower your next Thunderclap for bonus threat and I'd be happy

sweet summit
#

fuck threat

chrome falcon
#

threat is really not hard to begin with

sweet summit
#

bonus damage

#

hell yea

chrome falcon
#

especially if CS is going down to 2 mins

#

did i see that right

sweet summit
#

cs?

#

ls?

pallid quiver
#

Challenging Shout

chrome falcon
#

chall

sweet summit
#

oh lol

#

yea

pallid quiver
#

Both are going to 2m, I thought I saw

sweet summit
#

yep

chrome falcon
#

no idea why blizz thought we needed that but i'll take it

#

wtf is bolster being 10 seconds btw

#

that has to be super wrong

mighty valley
#

threat was only scary at the very start of the expac and with with insane 4p2l classes until the threat buff this patch

pallid quiver
#

LS is at 2m baseline, so

sweet summit
#

it going from 3-2 base

#

had to change bolster cdr

#

but i don't think 10 sec is final number

#

could just be 30 sec

pallid quiver
#

i think they should have kept the bolster cdr 🙂

sweet summit
#

tbh

#

and that would be fine

chrome falcon
#

i mean sure but changing it from 33% cdr to like less than 10% sound super wrong

chilly brook
#

still a shit CD

chrome falcon
#

30 sec makes sense

#

but yeah fuck last stand

chilly brook
#

without bolster/unnerving

mighty valley
#

but like

#

who cares what it's like without talents

#

if we can take the talents

chrome falcon
#

if

chilly brook
#

Uhhh we should care

sweet summit
#

unnerving being a (hopefully) guaranteed pickup

pallid quiver
#

Unnerving was in there somewhere, I thought I saw, so there's that at least

chilly brook
#

it should be decent before being a talent point

#

like it's actually useless as a defensive without a talent point

chrome falcon
#

the unnerving should really be baked in yeah

chilly brook
#

that's bad

pallid quiver
#

I feel like it'll be a choice between Bolster and Unnerving, tho

sweet summit
#

no shot

chrome falcon
#

good lord if that's true

sweet summit
#

i will email blizzard

chrome falcon
#

i'm not even taking LS in the first place

#

out of disgust

chilly brook
mighty valley
#

tons of shit is going to be underwhelming pre-talents

sweet summit
#

as of now, i would hate that

chilly brook
#

you go more defensive or you take the less defensive option with more dam

median tulip
#

I did see that they've partially reverted the SHadowlands nerf to Unstoppable Force

sweet summit
#

you're basically forced into bolster

#

for SB uptime

#

since nothing else gives you that

#

so i'd hate that

#

yeah i like the UF change

#

an expansion too late, but we take it

chrome falcon
median tulip
#

I mean, it's now half of what it used to be, instead of a third

#

put it back to 100%, cowards

chilly brook
sweet summit
#

we also don't have the azerite powers for it

#

and revenge actially does damage now

#

so BFA is not a guaranteed comeback

#

calm down haters

mighty valley
#

i'm going to take a shot every time someone says "baseline" from now on, see you in the ER

chrome falcon
#

see you in hell more like

sweet summit
chilly brook
#

2 expansions of needing something to bandaid our AM

#

here's to hoping there's not a 3rd

sweet summit
#

2?

chilly brook
sweet summit
#

do you count bolster in bfa as a bandaid?

#

oh okay

mighty valley
#

talents are bandaids now

#

because apparently we all tank on level 10 characters

chrome falcon
#

i mean SB uptime in legion was also like

#

you dropped it a lot you had basically no way to extendo

chilly brook
#

Legion your AM was mostly IP lol

chrome falcon
#

yeah

sweet summit
#

how did you extend it in legion?

chilly brook
#

like don't get me wrong you needed to block

chrome falcon
#

you did not extend it

#

you pressed the button

cobalt seal
chilly brook
#

but you blocked specific abilities

cobalt seal
#

We dont have bandaids

chrome falcon
#

and if you were going to take a really big blockable hit without SB

sweet summit
#

oh nvm i misread

#

mb

chrome falcon
#

you would nelth it

chilly brook
#

^

pallid quiver
#

only reason to press that button

chilly brook
#

like Legion warrior functioned very differently

chrome falcon
#

otherwise you just ripped 3 health bars worth of IP

#

current IP doesn't even deserve the name compared to legion IP

sweet summit
#

my question is

#

does IP have to be that strong?

chrome falcon
#

if we're not allowed good block uptime yeah

chilly brook
mighty valley
#

obviously doesn't have to be right now

median tulip
#

Bolster CD nerf hurts

mighty valley
#

but yeah. it's really hard to understand the total context

#

but of course we will all pretend we can

chilly brook
#

or if they flood us with rage to dump into IP

modern brook
#

Ip in its current form clashes with sb

chrome falcon
#

oh yeah i mean truth is

#

we're all

#

turbo shitter dumbasses

modern brook
#

How many times do we have to tell ppl to stop iping

chrome falcon
#

for even talking about anything datamined

#

with any seriousness

pallid quiver
#

I'll have you know that I excel in turbo shitting

sweet summit
#

i think having a discussion like this is fine

pallid quiver
#

I can destroy a toilet in 1 minute tops

chrome falcon
#

sir i have crohns you cannot challenge my turbo shitter title

modern brook
#

It either needs to replace sb entirely (dumb)or be more impactful as a button

#

I still say make it passive

sweet summit
mighty valley
#

even on smaller things, the number of people who were doomer about our 9.2 tier set and then were later like "this is the most fun i've had with prot warrior. just like i expected"

modern brook
#

Only dorks are in the right channel el

median tulip
mighty valley
#

wtf when did those channels appear

sweet summit
#

yoking

#

don't care

chrome falcon
#

to be fair harrow

pallid quiver
#

At some point today

chrome falcon
#

until basically launch

#

that tier set was atrocious

#

and it's still riddled with minor bugs

#

just lucky that most of the bugs make it stronger instead of weaker

mighty valley
#

eh it was patched relatively quickly, and a lot of people were still like "it doesn't do much"

#

people didn't really get the total rage engine that was gonna kick in with context

median tulip
#

"riddled with minor bugs" is an accurate assessment of most of WoW TBQH

chrome falcon
#

more like riddled with miner bots

#

heyoo

mighty valley
#

which is fair because it's v hard to predict stuff but also like. don't speak with absolute confidence about complex future shit lmao

median tulip
pallid quiver
#

I can say with absolute confidence that we'll all be back here complaining about Warrior for some reason or other when DF goes live

mighty valley
#

i'm too old to angst

sweet summit
#

of course

#

that's what alpha/beta is for

#

and then when it goes live

mighty valley
#

ended up enjoying prot in legion, in bfa, in SL

sweet summit
#

we will still complain

mighty valley
#

why doom now

sweet summit
cinder storm
#

I mean, that's the reason for having a discord

mighty valley
#

no the reason to have a discord has been for people to ask which covenant to pick and which legendaries are good

#

and to ask how much vers they need to tank a +7

cinder storm
#

There's r/competitivewow where ppl still recommend codex

#

Gentlemen, let’s take ALL df discussion to the appropriate channel. Thank you.

mighty valley

oh no

oh no

a new apb bit just dropped

No need to argue

median tulip

What something feels like has its place; I don't care how good BDK is supposed to be this season, I loathe the spec and its entire feel

sweet summit
median tulip
#

Once you're actually playing something though, then Numbers Matter

mighty valley
#

feelycraft is the act of claiming you know something is objectively a strong choice and when asked for evidence you produce jack shit

toxic pewter
cobalt seal
#

Like apb saying codex is good

mighty valley
#

i thought you were leaving

toxic pewter
#

I don’t say it’s good

cobalt seal
#

Because 30/50 top pwar use it

toxic pewter
#

They think it’s good I don’t use it

sick sentinel
#

feely craft is you create a theory based on feels

drifting fable
#

thanks yogi

toxic pewter
sick sentinel
#

so, its a bad thing, generally speaking id say

pallid quiver
#

My feelycraft is that Warrior is good because I liked the idea of playing the Warrior I've played for years

#

and then i look at orange name people to tell me how to do it good

#

theorycrafters never get enough love for the good they bring

weary lodge
#

Is there such a thing as too much haste?

cobalt seal
#

You sim

#

And it should tell you

#

The answer

urban portal
#

to be fair sims would tell you to go crit a lot of times

cobalt seal
#

So?

weary lodge
#

50% with OWS, into the fray and so'leah's lol

cobalt seal
#

Did you sim yourself already

#

Why do people focus so much on

#

What % is needed or too much

#

Just sim

urban portal
#

i do agree

#

sims can tell you infinitely more than what we can

cobalt seal
#

1-2 sims

#

And stats questions are gone

weary lodge
#

lol i mean, have sims ever been terribly accurate at representing value to a tank? I just thought 50% seemed pretty crazy high for a tank in a raid

hazy edge
#

They are

#

We put in quite a lot of work to make sure they are

grave crane
#

stats are also not gonna be the reason you die, like proper gameplay will take you further and learning your defensives and how and when to use is better than asking bout stats. but i have 53% with into the fray in raid

weary lodge
hazy edge
#

wym that's an insane combo

grave crane
#

you get high uptime for OWS

hazy edge
#

ows gives a ton of good haste, and opc is really good dam

grave crane
#

you def dont need defensive trinkets for raid

onyx vessel
#

Was using double tank trinkets in 15s

#

Why not

#

Take less dmg

hazy edge
#

You also take less damage if things die faster

onyx vessel
#

Was dying in seconds anyways

urban portal
#

i use double defensives so i can pull 2 packs into the boss

#

thats a dps up

onyx vessel
#

Played my monk for 3hrs then hopped on the warrior

#

legit loved running scale + aegis in m+

There's just so much scenery trash in there

I suppose there are lots of scenery trash right at the start and around the end

and at least 10 tentacles

yeah

#

There's a lot of Gorm in mists

TBH I never really bothered; just kill extra trash after the 3rd boss until you get the complete

Anyone give me a run down in m+ for prot tanking? Does warrior still suffer from magic damage massively? I'm low ilvl but managed to time a 15 at 251 ilvl with my guild kek. Always keep shield block up and ignore pain right?

dawn canyon
#

magic damage is still a thing we dont

#

like much

jagged pier
#

i mean

dawn canyon
#

but yes try block as many hits as possible

jagged pier
#

no tanks like magic damage

dawn canyon
#

ip to dump rage

jagged pier
#

and with all the extra reg and IP we have

dawn canyon
#

keep banner up

jagged pier
#

we just eat it anyway

#

also 251 isnt undergeared for a 15 as ppl were doing 20s with that ilvl at the start of the season

#

👍

ionic fern
#

Jeah, currently Magic damage is not that big of a deal...we have so much rage to go around when playing properly that Indom healing and IP absorbs are mitigation a lot of it. Use DS/SR are both really low CD and SW gets reduced by a ton as well.

crude estuary
#

Yeah yeah truuue but I'm not an exceptional player on warrior. I main tanked mythic nyalotha but didn't do any m+ on it haha. Coming from 3.3k rio hunter and fancied bring my warrior back to life, cheers guys so necro is way to go? I was playing kyrian kek

#

But yeah any tips would be massive. Thank you all 🥰

ionic fern
#

Necrolord is currently the best option. It does require you to play the spec correctly tho to maximise the banner up-time.

crude estuary
#

Cool, I'm willing to learn :D

#

I do like the necrolord

#

Omg hahah that auto typo

#

Hahahah no one saw that right....

ionic fern
#

Kyrian/NF are both still fine as well but you should gravitate towards learning NL in the longer run.

crude estuary
#

Cheers. One last thing, must have WA's specifically for prot?

ionic fern
#

WA's are personal preference..i do enjoy the Outburst Seeing Red stack trackers linked in the pin here for our tier set.

no 252 was literally the ilvl i started the season with without double leggo and 4 pc and was going 15-18s perfectly fine

#

ye i started 18s on 252 no set

#

so obviously your gear is good enough

but at this part of the season it is low ilvl and ppl might not invite u

always the unkown factor of pugs

i've always enjoyed playing games with strangers and randoms

well tbf i would very likely also not invite a person with 252 unless i know he is a really good performer

Not the 25% banner uptime type

I'm still struggling with banner uptime. Been on a training dummy a while this morning. Is there a way to log myself on training dummy and post it here for help?

enable advanced combat logging in the network settings, then /combatlog to start logging and /combatlog again when youre done

then upload it with the wcl tool

Roast me, please

i think you should log 5-10 minutes minimum to get an accurate picture

5 minutes is usually enough

cobalt seal

You missing way to many casts

And compare to your sim

Like 20 casts per minute

sonic crag

Adjusted the link, look again

#

Banner is showing on there now

cobalt seal
#

1m banner is nothing

urban portal
#

Upload a 5m

cobalt seal
#

You have to at least 5m

urban portal
#

So your banner can actually risk dropping

sonic crag
#

I ended the log after my banner dropped

#

thought the point was to keep 100% uptime

lofty widget
#

well it's not 100 % uptime if it dropped after 1 minute

cobalt seal
#

Your banner stopped at 1m?

sonic crag
#

yes

cobalt seal
#

Go again

sonic crag
#

so at best like 50% uptime?

cobalt seal

Til you get 5m banner

okay. im gonna go again

About 27 seconds into I get into a Revenge spam and am praying to SS procs to keep my rage up

drifting fable
#

you need to cast LS immediately

#

or as soon as you have banner goong

#

you waited until 35 sec in

Macro banner to ls keks

drifting fable

could serve to cast avatar a little sooner as well

just dont overwrite an outburst with it

# cobalt seal Why

I’m not a fan of it, I like big damage but it’s just not my forte as a tank

cobalt seal
#

Tank only tank no dmg kind of player?

undone verge
sweet summit
#

banner would be horrible without outburst and reprisal+glory rage economy

cobalt seal
#

Something would have to follow it to DF ofc

sweet summit
#

yea but then you're playing the exact same spec for another expansion

#

is that really what we want

drifting fable
#

nah id rather have a new playstyle for sure

cobalt seal
#

Why not

hazy edge
#

I’d be okay with a version of the tier set transferring over

#

Maybe banner+glory

#

Def not reprisal

sweet summit
cobalt seal
#

If something plays nicely

#

You dont rework

#

You add into it

sweet summit
#

i agree

#

but how much can you add to it, before it becomes too much

hazy edge
#

All I want is some that allows for near 100% SB uptime, or enough mini-CDs/DRs to tide us through the times we don’t have SB up

cobalt seal
urban portal
#

i dont want shield block to always be up

cobalt seal
#

To change stuff from time to time

urban portal
#

but i do want a better bolster

undone verge
#

I mean the current meta requires reprisal, banner, tier set, and banner leggo, so they’d have to make it in a way where pretty much all of that transfers over, and sure it’s possible but it would take away from the new builds they’re making

urban portal
#

so we have spells to cover downtimes

sweet summit
#

i would be down to nerf block and make it have higher uptime

#

if higher uptime is "hard" to achieve

urban portal
#

its the weakest part of the whole engine

undone verge
#

Technically not but it makes it sooo mucus better

#

Passive SB uptime is nice

urban portal
#

if we replaced reprisal with wall the engine would function exactly the same

#

not exactly but like 2 rage/second difference

sweet summit
hazy edge
#

I agree

undone verge
#

Yeah cause I don’t see them bringing outburst back in the new talent system, and without outburst I don’t think banner is playable. I’ve run banner without outburst and it is not fun and not good

#

Granted I didn’t have super high haste, but the damage just isn’t there

#

Change of topic

#

What cov do you think is gonna be bis on soulrender?

sweet summit
#

necrolord

undone verge
#

Cause I pumped some major dam with kyrian on that fight

sweet summit
#

surely you just play seismic for damage

#

if adds die too fast i can see kyrian being good for the burst damage i guess

#

but overall i can't see you swapping off necrolord for the remainder of shadowlands

undone verge
#

Yeah more thinking heroic cause I prob won’t be doing mythic with my guild

#

I guess in mythic the tether can be nice from kyrian

sweet summit
#

depends on how they tune the raid and what comp you have

undone verge
#

Yeah

sweet summit
#

didn't really need it before

#

at least i didn't

undone verge

I am pretty excited to run necro prot on some of these fights

ye but afaik you can trade that with workorders

so looks like it's staying alch only

#

oh good point

yeah i don't know then

sick sentinel
#

never been alch dont care to be

coral marsh
#

was the alchemist trinket mythic itemlevel at the end of shadow? haven't played in a while

sweet summit
#

i would assume it's an alchemy only thing, kinda like the alchemy profession combat bonus peepostudy

#

nah it maxes out at 262, which is just +15 item level

#

crafted items have generally been quite stinky this xpac

cobalt seal
#

Its never goes to mythic lvl

lofty widget
#

that could change tho, with them wnating professions to be a end-game gearing option

cobalt seal

But we dont know how its gonna work in df

coral marsh

it was mythic itemlevel in bfa

and it was good back then

sweet summit

you kinda just use ring/neck early for free socket and good stats

cobalt seal
sweet summit

yeah alch stone was decent

no?

I dont think it was max mythic

it was

not last two mythic ofc

alch stone is just 60 sec extra per proc afaik

undone verge

Lmao basically

sweet summit

there are two

one for pot, one for flask

median timber

the tooltip on the phial/flask one is wrong

sweet summit

just says 60 sec atm right?

median timber
#

yes

#

both say 60 sec

#

both trinks

sweet summit
#

ya

median timber
#

but one shouldnt say 60 secs

undone verge
#

The funniest thing too is I had a 95 on jailer for the longest time since the raid I killed it with killed it really fast and smooth so I missed out on a ton of execute phase. But the 99 came with my guild who isn’t so clean with it and we had a long execute phase

#

Lords of dread just always sucks for me cause we always get one to many among us phases and my damage drops off

chilly brook
#

It’s a ppm trinket

#

So the proc is just adding a minute to your flask fam

minor helm
#

It says 60 seconds for flask is what he means

#

Where it should be 30 or 60 mins

chilly brook
#

That certainly doesn’t read like it’s a typo

minor helm
#

Also this should be in df channels so 🤷‍♂️

chilly brook
#

But again

#

Based off the text of the proc….I sincerely doubt that this is a typo

chilly brook
#

Written in two completely different ways btw

#

One is a clear just set and forget empowerment to potions when used and nothing else

median timber

The other is a proc that gives primary stat and a short duration increase on your current phial

Especially when bfa alchemist stone was just a vers trinket

median timber

theres no need to be an ass about answering his question

sick sentinel
#

because, we don't currently have access to 350 gear, so it clearly can't be on live

and we have up to and above 350 gear in bfa

i don't play alch, so i don't know them by heart

Verse is also lazy- however there seems to be some sort of strange addiction occurring when it comes to haste. Just look when I simply say “remove haste” just witness what occurs. Meanwhile one says to remove vers, some will agree, many will just be like lol ok

I call it the “speed addiction” in my essay
