warm plinth
#

:weebsout:

lusty grotto
#

LOL

#

it triggers me daily

#

but it has given me something to enjoy so its worth it

warm plinth
#

Hey whatever gives you enjoyment is fine by me

lusty grotto
#

i might dual sub tbh

#

for the first time since early 2.0

warm plinth
#

Eh, not sure it'd even be worth subbing to WoW right now if you aren't already. Next season is kinda meh

lusty grotto
#

yeah ive been told the same but

warm plinth
#

I'm just a key degen so I still have fun

lusty grotto
#

i feel im getting the call

#

besides i only have KSM from s1

#

so at least ill have a KSM i can probably aim to do

#

feels like its way easier this time around

warm plinth
#

The KSM mount for S4 is pretty nice

lusty grotto
#

also ive ran out of things to do in ffxiv so

#

backlog + sub back

#

im deffo not preordering though

warm plinth
#

When do you normally game?

lusty grotto
#

evenings

#

warm plinth
#

Gotcha. Yeah it's hard for me to play with anyone right now because I'm stuck on night shift again

#

6-2:30am cst yep

lusty grotto
#

whoa

#

yeah no worries, im thinking of taking it very casually at first until i get familiarized with all the garbage they put in after s1

warm plinth
#

I'm normally online Friday/Saturday evenings though. If you need tank/healer/dps/someone to talk shit in voice while you do keys, let me know

lusty grotto
#

right on ty sir

#

now we need to rez Riki

#

our alliance comrade

warm plinth
#

Riki is making big bucks streaming Among Us rn

#

#

oh i was kinda thinking about going back to roots also since cross faction is in

#

but giving blizz more money is eh

#

i'll see how it turns out first

warm plinth
#

I already got everything on horde side and like half of everything on alliance side haha

lusty grotto
#

i miss alliance way too much

#

but dunno if ill miss chef orc-chip

warm plinth
#

I'm leveling alliance panda monk right now

#

His name is Kegalicious

lusty grotto
#

lol

#

bro i dont think Nome remembered me

#

he was like "prot warrior is hard right now"

#

"for people that havent played it before"

#

me: "say no more, resub inc"

warm plinth
#

lol. I haven't actually tried prot this expansion. I'm not a fan of the charging around for SB uptime meme

lusty grotto
#

i vdh'd so

#

i mean i did quite a few s1 on prot war

#

but then i was pressured into vdh'ing

#

im not against playing it, but i'm definitely not playing BDK

warm plinth
#

I've heard they don't have DH trees yet because they don't have any idea how they're gonna come up with 61 points 😏

lusty grotto
#

oh i mean like for now

#

yeah i'm looking forward to reflective plating coming back 😛

warm plinth
#

oh you were still tank main this expansion?

lusty grotto
#

yea

warm plinth
#

shit that would be nice if it did

#

#

😮

lusty grotto
#

hell yea

#

they seem too focused on covenant additions, but im not seeing a lot of artifact stuff

#

on the talent trees

#

but i could be wrong

warm plinth
#

Yeah, some azerite too but can't think of any artifact shit off the top of my head

#

can some one explain why i would go Necro prot vs Kyrian prot? is dmg or what

Everything

#

Spear was amazing for snap aggro. DPS could just go ham, now you gotta trust your dumb smoothbrain rogues and hunters to actually press utility keys

#

Instead of just facerolling their favorite twitch streamer's recommended cleave rotation.

#

But yeah, that's a... triviality.

#

At the points where it starts to matter most of them use those buttons, and when it doesn't you can hack it just fine.

strong cypress
#

Ill think ill stay kyrian as ive been it for so long on my warrior

cobalt seal
#

If you max perf

#

There is only 1 choice

#

And thats necro

cinder nova
#

Necro is objectively better than Kyrian by a very wide margin and requires way tighter play to make work while altogether being very squishy comparatively.

#

NL has only a few very small, niche painpoints that only matter at high-end play in M+ content.

strong cypress
#

ok ill try it

undone verge
#

kyrian is more fun imo

cinder nova
#

What?

strong cypress
#

I love kyrian

cinder nova
#

Bro I hated Kyrian.

#

I felt like I had no interaction with my covenant.

#

Just spear

strong cypress
#

but i plan to push no higher than 20s

cinder nova
#

NL gives you the POWER infinitely

strong cypress
#

3k io max

undone verge
#

necro is a headache

cinder nova
#

??? what discord is this

#

NL isn't even hard if you just focus on good play

undone verge
#

its not hard, but its a headache

cinder nova
#

I can get north of 25s duration on Ryg by just vibing

undone verge
#

ryg is easy I can peak 28 seconds on pull

cinder nova
#

Yeah I still don't see how NL is a headache

#

Honestly chargeweaving reprisal is more maintinence

#

Although I am the outlier of enjoying it

undone verge
#

fights like jailer lihuvium Vigi are a pain

#

same with m+ when im just tryin to vibe

cinder nova
#

idk I don't have much issue with M+

#

just keep pulling :^)

silk gull
#

Necro is so easy in M+. 1 banner for like 4 packs. Comes off cd well before needed. Profit

ionic fern
#

Saying it's "so easy" when comparing to a shoot and forget Kyrian/NF is just wrong.

#

This is also backed by the constant 20-40% banner logs going around.

undone verge
#

kyrian=vibe necro=focused on the key

ionic fern
#

I mean..it's not "focused on the key". You just have one extra thing to track and think ahead.

#

NL is definitely harder than Kyrian/NF in keys but it's also a lot more rewarding (and fun, depending if you enjoy the minigame).

@ionic fern Hi cutie

Kinda surreal to me that season ends in 2 weeks

warm plinth

I'm not new. I'm an old boi

But I guess I did leave and come back recently

Why you leave us. 😦

It's up to Vel. 😦

If it were up to me they would be gone.

warm plinth
#

Fair enough. I still love you

warm plinth
#

Jakey are you a real prot warrior or just a fake one like Mwahi

warm plinth
ionic fern
#

Woah.

#

Wdym fake.

warm plinth
#

I mean, you said you have a 252 shield. You can't be a real prot warrior with a 252 shield

#

Everyone knows that

ionic fern
#

The lower the shield the realer you are.

warm plinth
ionic fern
#

Only weak warriors use high ilvl shields.

#

Take a beating.

Be a man.

warm plinth

Wait, stickers are allowed o_o

Look how many keys i've done recently.

Absolutely huge

My highest score is only like 3k so

You don't even know

rofl I like how specless is just a ?

#

Poor fella

#

I wish. He's a priest. I was gonna do specless keys with TheSteve

#

But we never got 5 people

#

Yeah, what a waste

#

But I can't bring myself to pick a spec on him

#

sadge

#

Me and 4 other dudes from here did weekly Skyhold keys back in BFA

#

Well, I saqy weekly but we only did it like 3 times

#

But they were just scuffed alts, not all tank

#

I want cross-region so I can key with Mwahi

#

I could key with Deswind but I'm not cool enough

#

He's like up here -- and I'm like down here _

#

He's playing pink warrior now

#

I'm leveling a monk right now. His name is Kegalicious

#

Yeah this is basically just something to do when I'm bored of watching TV

#

I have a self-imposed challenge that I'm working on off-and-on

#

the one for every spec challenge

#

am slow leveler though

#

I would be even slower but I use zygor :kekw

anyone got a copy pasta of wat pressing ip means?

#

guildy picking up prot warr again

ionic fern
#

Huh?

sand pebble
#

of what the tooptip may as well say - avatar cd, healing etc

ionic fern
#

Just press IP to prevent overcapping Rage.

#

Ignore the tooltip and treat it as a off the GCD rage dump to feed into AM/Indom.

sand pebble
#

im judging him because

strong forum
#

I think what he wants is
IP grants:

  • 3.5sec off of SW and Avatar
  • ~1.2 stacks of Seeing Red
  • Heals for 3.5% hp
  • increases Banner duration by ~1.5sec
sand pebble
#

ty

strong forum
#

And he should really really really start using SS more

#

SS should be top2 of his dmg

#

Both revenge and SS should be above TC in dmg

sand pebble
#

yea i love tat he got a 120k sr but i asked wtf his tc damage so highh

strong forum
#

He prolly uses every outburst on TC

#

This is somewhat what the dmg breakdown should look like

sand pebble
#

ty

#

e was for more aoe damage

strong forum
#

This is from m+

sand pebble
#

his was from a 21 gambit murloc area

strong forum
#

So not even a full key

sand pebble
#

he is a 3700 bdk main and jumped onto his 260+ pwar but wont listen to me about tanking info cause im only 3150

#

his loss

strong forum
#

Love when that happens

jagged pier
#

yes why wouldnt u take advice from someone that knows the spec more than u but has a low score 🤔

sand pebble
#

jakey are you a top io streamer of prot warr things? he watch a stream of a real tank and copy that

strong forum
#

You can't rly just copy pwar from watching

#

There's more going on than meets the eye

sand pebble
#

he might understand it more though

strong forum
#

Let him be in his misery if he doesn't wanna listen

sand pebble
#

he playing bolster with necro - that explains alot

ionic fern
#

If he's dumdum ignore him.

#

If he needs videos

#

🤷

sand pebble
#

ty ill link it to him

ionic fern
#

That won't do him any good tho since he probably won't understand what's happening.

#

😂

jagged pier
#

so he wont listen to me

modern brook
#

Honestly twitch viewers keks

molten rivet
#

So its always better to use outburst on SS even in Big aoe situations?

strong forum
#

In 6+ target situations TC wins on raw dmg

#

But the extra rage from SS translates really well into am and banner uptime, so you don't want to send too many outbursts into TC

feral jewel
#

I’ll only spend an outburst on tc on a pull just to snap aggro quick. But mid fight during trash i use outburst on SS

strong forum
#

Ya, the ratio should be around 1 TC vs 3 SS

sonic crag
#

I've also heard outburst with TC on my if your looking at 2 more more globals without SS

#

Which to me, translates to out holding it for 1 global, seeing the 2nd come up, hitting TC, and immediately getting SS proc lol

lofty widget
#

as long as you have rage/can generate rage theres nothing wrong with sitting on an outburst proc, assuming you wont overwrite it

dark lark
#

Sense himself has said that from a practical standpoint, using the very first outburst from Avatar on TC is fine for agro purposes

#

But that all outbursts after should be SLAM

patent osprey
#

On theory that is what you want to do, but in practice don't hold a gcd/press nothing. better to use for survivability in m+

#

so if you have nothing else to press just TC ^.^

feral jewel
#

Also don’t beat yourself up if u accidentally send a tc with outburst…..it happens

patent osprey
#

Only beat urself up if override your outburst with an avatar outburst

hazy edge
#

^

#

That’s the real big one

#

Spending an outburst in tc still does damage and gives you rage

#

Overriding a proc you lose all of it

dark lark

@patent osprey you should've been on naowh's s4 m+ tank round table

dark lark
#

I love that Andy has become a man of the people

cobalt seal
#

andy was always a man of the people

urban portal
#

is andybrew a believer?

urban portal
#

feel like its one of the two specs that needs to actively make decisions on the fly

dark lark
#

I mean, I don't disagree. Prot War with Necro/4p is much more difficult now to get the equivalent result in mitigation and damage as BDK 4p which now takes 0 brainpower

urban portal
#

most tanks you just follow rotation helper

#

and you are already playing at 85% effectiveness

dark lark
#

Fun level is definitely there but when you're doing sweaty shit and you're used to shot calling for your group it's tougher to concentrate on both now

#

It's funny how the tier bonuses just flipped the difficulty levels of pwar and bdk

toxic pewter
#

Andy is correct

vestal moat
#

I'm still hoping for some kind of buff in season 4. If you look at the datamined DF changes there are some baseline buffs there maybe they will pout them in early. . I dont know why but for example shockwave now does damage about the same as a TC. and LS CD down to 2 mins.

mighty valley
#

we don't need a damage buff like LS cd right now

#

i mean i'd take whatever but we're fine

dawn canyon
#

Why would you buff pwar in it's current state

cobalt seal
#

To BE n1

#

Ofc

#

If you arent first

#

You suck and need buffs

dawn canyon
#

Also pwar would be like the ultimate anti fotm tank

chilly brook
#

The difficulty only exists if you’re learning how to play it properly to begin with

#

If you’ve played warrior this entire xpac everything is the same other than the nuance of the 2/4p

#

Necro just requires you to play optimally like you should have been doing to begin with

dark lark
#

Sort of, it's just that the pace is much faster than it was before because of how much rage generation there is which is the difficulty I'm describing

chrome falcon
#

my god

#

that would be insane

mighty valley
#

help help i can't get my banner under 30s remaining

#

my banner has lasted longer than four hours

#

sorry, boomer ass joke

chrome falcon
#

i'm pretty sure you're meant to go to the emergency room at that point

urban portal
#

sheesh

chilly brook
#

And really the adjustment is just pressing IP more and more specifically learning how to play with the awkwardness that sometimes happens with balancing your rage bar and stacks of outburst

mighty valley
#

it's not bad as a layer of complexity, just harder when compared to other specs which get like... no added complexity

#

and were less complex to begin with

#

and yeah, i think diving into the prot warrior deep end if you haven't been playing it all expac must be tough

ocean yoke
#

the physical act of hitting even more buttons than usual is a thing people gotta learn

ocean yoke
chilly brook
#

Just press the buttons

ocean yoke
#

obviously, still something some people have to get used to

chilly brook
#

I think people over complicate it

mighty valley
#

tbh the vast majority of wow players really do just need to press more buttons

chilly brook
#

Like sure

mighty valley
#

it's the number one thing people should work on

chilly brook
#

There’s a lot to push

#

But it’s actually a lot simpler than people think

mighty valley
#

people want to figure out a "rotation" when it just boils down to a few principles

grave crane
#

I think there is some specifics there like a priority right. Reset on SS and still have rage to revenge? Press SS on cd unless your gonna overcap

chilly brook
#

Press avatar on CD, keep shield block up when things swing/shoot, press shield slam on CD, use intervene on CD, keep at least one charge of charge on CD, spend rage on revenge/execute and IP

#

That’s like 90% of what you have to do

Small pulls, linear, no actual choice, 0 control over it as the tank, entirely healer and dps reliant

#

As a DK and on tyrnnaical if playing the captain then xav firstmakes sense for his buff. otherwise i go ghosts first always esp in a pug, most likely to disband there so get it out of the way early.

Dh on tyrannical can be iffy. High target count feels amazing. But get caught without being in meta it can get rough.

zealous willow
#

Warriors are rly strong atm and super fun wow must be hard

#

dh is 5 spells class

sinful plover
#

Is there really objectively an easy tank? Is warrior objectively hard or easy. I find it super easy but that may be because I play it a fuck ton..

chrome falcon
#

warrior is not hard but it's very fast

#

there's not really much decision making

#

but you have to be zoomin

#

there are some people for whom 80+ cpm for over a minute is just not possible

rygelon fight is great

im constantly stressing about getting slapped or the raid killing us all

I love the high apm into the fray 4 life

tanking as a whole is trickier than dpsing at a base level

not in keys i hope

BDK without 4 set is kinda challenging, bear is just absolutely turn your brain off tank

Yeah bear seems that

#

honestly if it didnt expect so much personal responsibility on the dps not to fuck it up It would be like top tier

its super fun but im always stressing about the dps

chrome falcon

rygelon might be best fight in the expansion

#

top 3 with anduin and denny imo

rygelon fucking sucks

this tier is a banger if they replace halondrus with rygelon and then anduin last

I like halondrus from a melee dps perspecstive

prenerf halondrus can SMD

halondrus is a disaster of a fight

disgusting prenerf

pre nerf halondrus and pre nerf rygelon and pre nerf jailer are the worst bosses i've ever played

launch heroic anduin

what is our opinion on skolex

#

sludgefist pretender?

sweet summit
#

good early boss

#

very good tuning at the start of the tier

urban portal
#

launch heroic anduin sheesh

#

yeah now its stupid

#

intermission 2 not even a thing

undone verge
#

skolex had really good tuning but I really hate its mythic mechanic

sweet summit
#

what's the mythic mechanic

chrome falcon
#

skolex is a great early fight yeah

undone verge
#

shit on the ground

chrome falcon
#

always a nice rekill

sweet summit
#

blue swirlies are on heroic too

undone verge
#

getting hit with swirls spawn pools, burrow spawns a pool, retch spawns pools

chrome falcon
#

but that's the whole point of the fight

sweet summit
#

ya so just dodge

#

?

chrome falcon
#

if you didn't have that it's a target dummy

undone verge
#

I just think its a really annoying mythic mechanic

#

I like the idea of having to move the boss

sweet summit
#

i guess you could say that

#

idk

dawn canyon
#

low QOL boss

undone verge
#

skolex=prenerf heroic rygelon

#

chilly brook
#

skolex is just annoying

undone verge
#

normal and heroic skolex are top tier

chilly brook
#

mainly because too much blue in this game

undone verge
#

mythic skolex is annoying

chilly brook
#

if we didn't have wild spirits, spears and other shit

#

it would be fine

#

nah mythic skolex is fine

dawn canyon
undone verge
#

pretty much

#

every 2 minutes dps dies to swirls

dawn canyon
#

actually CANNOT see it through 2 WS necro slappy hands and nf dnd

sweet summit
#

never noticed wild spirits on skolex

dawn canyon
#

i turned them off for it

sweet summit
#

and you don't need to see the swirlies to dodge them either

#

they spawn on players on a set timer

dawn canyon
#

its doable but annoying

sweet summit
#

very predictable

chilly brook
#

tbh

sweet summit
#

don't need wa for it

undone verge
#

maybe for CE raiders, but for us aotc guilds anticipating abilities is an advanced skill lol

sweet summit
#

just have dbm/bw count it down

chrome falcon
#

yeah i dunno "swirlies that appear on a fixed timer" is just about the most basic mechanic you can possibly expect

#

from any mythic encounter

undone verge
#

all aotc raiders see is a red screen with black text in the middle that says 'parse'

chrome falcon
#

anyone who finds that too much might need to reconsider their position

undone verge
#

its not the swirlies

#

its the pools

chrome falcon
#

but aotc players can't parse

#

yes the swirlies

#

that make pools

sweet summit
#

but the pools only spawn if you get hit by swirly

dawn canyon
#

pools is okay but if someone is a terrorist and premoves its annoying

undone verge
#

but do you expect a bunch of aotc /25% of mythic clear, raiders to dodge 45 sets of swirls when you only have around a second to move out

chrome falcon
dawn canyon
#

its a dam loss to play it wrong

chilly brook
dawn canyon
#

so its encouraged for parse frogs

undone verge
chilly brook
#

I honestly said fuck my group and stood by myself on the opposite side but not close enough to tanks to cause a problem

it was funny to watch though

I'd slowly see the stack group migrating towards me as more pools showed up

undone verge
#

skolex isnt a bad boss but I think its kinda annoying as an early mythic boss. Make it more tuned toward a mid tier mythic boss, add a mechanic or two its a great boss

at least skolex just dies fast

Is there a campaign skip for covenants if you finished one covenant campaign?

sweet summit
#

i believe you have to do each campaign once on your account to get that covenant campaign skip

coral marsh
#

so you guys quested through all four? how long did that take

warm plinth
#

Yeah I would say just go back to how SB was last expansion. Lower CD and fill with LS

warm plinth
coral marsh
#

ye and also 100% the quests

lofty widget
#

you cant skip the campaign, but once youve unlocked the soulbinds on 1 char you can unlock them instantly on alts

warm plinth
#

There is no campaign skip for the quests beyond the Torghast portion (which is the first couple of chapters). If you have completed the covenant campaign (and unlocked all 3 soulbinds) for a covenant one time, then you can unlock the soulbinds on alts.

#

But those toons will still be 3/9 after the Torghast skip. They won't have the campaign completed.

#

With flying, the campaigns take like 3-5 hours depending on your questing speed

#

Bit longer for necrolord because you have to do the side quest chain to unlock Emeni

cinder nova

Yeah, nah. The reason SS is better isn't just because TC is dogshit, but that's also the reason.

It's because the rage equals x2 Revenge which just is more damage any way you slice it.

Hey guys,

As many of you are probably aware, the World of Warcraft team just announced their next expansion. I'm gonna be real honest with y'all, I don't really enjoy that game much anymore, but they've hooked me back with one upcoming feature -- the Dracthyr. For the longest time I've been a closeted scalie (a non-furry furry), and while TBC scratches that with Kalecgos and Anveena's lovestory, nothing comes close to what retail is adding. I can finally be myself in a video game!

I know many of you won't want to hear this, but I'm going to be leaving TBC to go live my dreams out in retail. I've made a lot of great friends here, in various different aspects of the community. From raiding to fighting dozens of others for a small plot, to mahjong and roleplaying. It truly has been a blast, and I'll never forget the memories we made together. You all mean the world to me!

But this doesn't have to be farewell! If you want to join me, I'm going to be playing on Wyrmwrest Accord. It's one of the roleplaying servers of WoW, and I'm going to be making my Dracthyr there. I know the expansion isn't going to be for a while, but I need to start preparing now -- catching up on my lore, writing a backstory, figuring out my addons, etc. Then when I can finally shed my skin and show my glorious scales, I'll be ready. I can spread my wings and finally lay some eggs.
