Unless dks damage is sent to a pit, I don't see how it won't be close to being meta in df with tier being added as a talent

lofty widget
#

isnt a big part of dk dmg from gavel?

#

and theyre not keeping the % str inc either

cinder storm
#

You can still do a lot of damage without gavel, and you can go from 1 bonestorm stack to 9

zealous willow
#

The interesting part is the vampiric blood tallent , that red its cd and the other one that explode for the dmg u selfhealed durning vampiric it might be big aoe dps in high keys

#

and u can have that with tier and lege bonus from shadowlands

cinder storm
#

And, we don't know of they won't add eventually another broken 2H

zealous willow
#

i think they will try to please most classes in df

#

we might get a good shield something

urban portal
#

Hopefully they add a broken 1h

Dk and prot warrior goes to gutter in dps

cinder storm

#

I don’t think dk does abusurd damage rn if you look at sims

#

Especially on st

#

If you don’t have gavel

zealous willow
#

they are rly good ,cus they are not trading anythjing for being immortal

Nerf said gavel is worse than a haste/vers weapon for fort weeks

Nerf didnt have a 285 until yesterday

Soo

#

So clearly gavel isn't OP enough

If you really think that a 278 haste/vers is better than 272 gavel

Any of u saw the new dungeons , if yes, are they cool?

undone verge
#

personally I dont really like necro

chrome falcon
#

How do

#

So*

undone verge
#

think the minigame is too gimicky

chrome falcon
#

You just press banner and don’t have to think about it

#

There isn’t really a minigame

#

Banner doesn’t change your playstyle

#

Yeah that’s just

#

The prot warrior minigame

#

Aka the game

toxic pewter
lofty widget
#

the new uldaman looks quite nice tbh

#

always loved that dungeon

toxic pewter
#

Oh dang true

undone verge
#

im not saying its hard but it bores me

chrome falcon
#

But

#

That’s not necro then

#

That’s just warrior

#

The playstyle would be identical without banner

#

None of your gameplay would change

undone verge
#

damage would be a lot less annoying without banner

urban portal
#

the only change is that its slightly less punishing

#

if you mess up

chrome falcon
#

What’s annoying about it though

undone verge
#

keeping it up on certain fights

#

tanks become glorified arcade games and blizzard wonders why no one plays them

urban portal
#

i think its quite the opposite

chrome falcon
#

Are all games not just glorified arcade games

urban portal
#

people believe that tanking is just trying to survive and snoozefest otherwise

#

bores them

#

"oh lemme just press mitigation when a tank hit comes"

#

thats what average wow players think

drifting fable
#

tanks are just dps but things hit us

urban portal
#

raid tanking alternates from snoozing to fighting for your life

drifting fable
#

depends on the fight but yes tanks usually get the easiest mechanics

undone verge
#

bro all prot warrior is for me right now is keep banner up dont worry about taunting cause I always have aggro

#

its super boring

#

and keys as necro is just a snoozfest

drifting fable
#

🤷‍♂️ reroll ig

waxen orbit
lofty widget
#

you can have high cpm and be bored with the spec

waxen orbit
#

Cool

one sec in key

drifting fable
#

lol

#

live tweeting thats hes bored of the spec in a key haha

undone verge
#

like I said in a key

urban portal
#

and kyrian is fun to you?

undone verge
#

more fun than necro

urban portal
#

pressing a big dam button every 45 seconds and proceed to regular rotation?

#

not even big dam

#

medium dam

#

then maybe you just dont like the spec

#

necro doesnt change your playstyle

#

it just makes it faster

#

kyrian literally doesnt change your playstyle

#

cds on cd

cinder storm
#

If he's not doing high keys kyrian is fine, specially if it's more fun

#

For him at least

#

You do you big boy

Why are you hitting yourself?

urban portal
#

until i get baited into SRing a death bolt

undone verge
# urban portal necro doesnt change your playstyle

yes necro doesnt change the buttons you press, and Its super fun on fights like sausage and rygelon or skolex, but its not fun for m+ because you dont have that instant aggro gen of spear. And m+ rotation is a glorified ST rotation since you spend outburst on SS for rage gen to fuel banner. Spear is also more interesting in m+ because of its tether aspect and short cd with mikanikos which allows for lots of kiting

#

Im not disputing its good, or not fun for you, but thats just my thoughts

urban portal
#

TC isnt even a raw DPS up until 6t

#

because of how bad it is

zenith vine
#

that bad huh

undone verge
#

depends on how big you pull

#

or what dungeon

waxen orbit
#

👍

open bluff
#

but its not fun for m+ because you dont have that instant aggro gen of spear.

if you don't have instant aggro in m+ as any covenant, the covenant isn't your issue

waxen orbit
#

You also stated why you prefer Spear and why it’s more engaging and gratifying from your perspective. We need that type of discussion more here rather than the typical shit of:
“I think X is good.”
“X is bad.”
“You’re wrong.”
“Nah you.”

#

up until 9.2 i loved spear

#

fits thematically and very fun button to press

dusky mica
#

I think they should bake the gameplay aspect of banner into Avatar. As in, you generate rage and you extend avatar by spending rage.

strong forum
#

but im gonna miss playing around outburst and banner

mighty valley
#

as someone who was venthyr prot all the way up until 9.1.5 i support people following their hearts

strong forum
#

i agree, but AM already kinda is there

#

so youd double up on that part, feels kinda weird

open bluff
#

10.0 AM: rage spent extends avatar rather than reduces its cd wadner

strong forum
#

no

#

dont

waxen orbit
#

Pls no

open bluff

would feel like shit but i can see blizzard pulling something like that

strong forum
#

they wouldnt

#

we have a few voices

chrome falcon
#

10.0 AM: not in the game ratge

dusky mica
#

Also if they're gonna make the smurf spear a baseline spell it needs to be chains, not beams of blue light. More like Diablo Barb chains

Pretty sure were getting rend as a button

rend is a dogshit maintenance button

rend is no longer a crit damage buff tho

urban portal
#

and refresh it with TC forever

idc

its dumb

mighty valley

i would accept that

urban portal
#

and the bleed generates rage (hopefully)

strong forum
#

lemme rend 3 targets

#

amazing

urban portal
#

i mean just rend 1

#

and tc

#

and bam you rended the entire pack

open bluff
#

a button you push once is just dumb, rather bake rend into TC directly

waxen orbit

Make it apply from Execute and bake in Ashen Juggernaut as a talent choice

who's gonna tell us all to take it to the other channel

dusky mica

which expac was the rend expac for Arms.. was it WoD?

#

or bdk

#

if BDK didnt have 3 weapons their threat wouldnt exist

cinder nova
#

Just make outburst a passive and make it not shit to hit TC over SS in cleave

dusky mica
#

On the other trees a lot of old shit has returned.

#

So were probably getting silence on throw back, disrupting shout, flags

waxen orbit
#

Flags critcake

mighty valley
#

please no flags

cinder storm
#

Flags?

waxen orbit
#

MoP

dusky mica
#

In mop we had 3 banners/flags

mighty valley
#

i will accept one flag, and that's a banner, on my back

cinder storm
#

They worked similar to banner?

waxen orbit
#

Nah they were like totems

strong forum
#

you could place them in range and intervene to them

#

very op in pvp

dusky mica
#

One was a demo shout copy. One was a challenging shout copy. And the good one increased crit and crit damage.

waxen orbit
#

Was godawful for PVP balance and also just felt clunky incorporating in a PVE environment

#

But that’s just my take

dusky mica
#

As nom said, we used the shit ones to move around in pvp mostly, they were kinda shit in raid

toxic pewter
#

im down for banners to come back

dusky mica
#

Crit banner was pretty good though as we also had vengeance back then. So Garrosh solo tanking was a banger.

#

I can see banners of some form in the tree. Maybe as part of those 'pick this or that' combo nodes

waxen orbit
#

If we get that prepare for literally only the crit banner to be taken until +28 and above where demo banner is taken

chrome falcon
#

no shot we get a crit dam+ banner

dusky mica
#

Banners were a bit annoying on the ol' keybinds though

chrome falcon
#

there's just no chance

#

with fire mage in the game

waxen orbit
#

Personally, I prefer everyone to be OP and just tune up the scale of the mobs

#

#

Makes for more fun gameplay

I prefer everyone to suck and Prot Warrior be OP.

is he afk?

At least the blood dk we had last kill could semi keep threat

urban portal

are CE people really this incompetent

Hey guys where can I find a video on how to keep banner up for necrolord prot warrior...or can someone explain it to me?

grave crane
#

Go hit a target dummy and practice is really it. Use LS with the conduit and hit SS as long as your not gonna overcap rage. Use IP to dump rage

#

Charge weave and intervene on CD with reprisal

primal mauve
#

Do you guys use both shield block charges as soon as you can?

grave crane

You’ll get a feel for it but I use charge and then one SB and then intervene usually then another SB but I’m also not as good as the other guys in here

I got a lot of dumb questions, I tried necro and couldnt get that insane uptime youtubers are talking about so I went back to nightfae even if it isnt optimal at all

Always booming voice

BSC does win in raw aoe dmg, but banner management and boss dmg is better with booming

overall ?

chrome falcon

BSC wins in raw damage but that's not counting the extra avatars and banner duration from BV

molten rivet

feels like i haev to many globals to setup burst window tho, dno :p

chrome falcon
#

you don't have a burst window

molten rivet
#

when do you use last stand these days?

chrome falcon
#

on CD

#

if you have banner up

On CD with banner

#

Just send it for dmg

And Banner duration

molten rivet

what if you BL 1st pull with banner, do you last stand after lust ?

Nah

So many buttons man

chrome falcon

why would you do that

molten rivet

idk 😄 thats why im asking 😛

strong forum
#

LS + Lust means instant 30sec banner duration stacked up

chrome falcon
#

literally the only button you don't press on cooldown

#

is shield wall

#

and i guess spell reflect

#

everything else just slam when it's up

molten rivet
#

how many globals should you wait with outburst window for SS over TC?

regal yacht

Will protection be get any buffs to climb the tank ranking in S4?

strong forum
#

2 at most

molten rivet
#

ait

chrome falcon
#

max 2 but just don't be in that situation in the first place

#

put TC on cooldown when you're close to a proc

mighty valley
#

slap yourself every time and remind yourself to plan ahead in the future

molten rivet
#

how can i avoid that dont you send SS instant always ?

mighty valley
#

you can miss one global to slap yourself

chrome falcon
molten rivet
#

is it better to hold SS ?

chrome falcon
#

if i'm about to outburst i'll skip SS for one global to guarantee i get to outburst it next global

molten rivet
#

it stacks up right, if you use 2 revenge in a row it gives you a stack ?

mighty valley
#

make sure you don't empty rage so you can hit some revenges for reset hopes

regal yacht
#

Is there a max time of banner you can stack up?

lofty widget
#

no, can keep it going forever

chrome falcon
#

i think they mean like if there's a max duration

strong forum

Longest duration that's been stacked was 1min

chrome falcon

like remaining

#

in which case we don't know

#

but practically the answer is no

My longest one was only like 40ish seconds or smth like that

Washed up

molten rivet
#

guess pf boss with red sliem and lust

strong forum
#

1 of the bosses to stack it

regal yacht
#

I seem to have alot of trouble sustaining it. Do you bind SB or IP to you other abilities to keep from rage Capping?

strong forum
#

And on ghost boss ToP

#

Cuz you can omega execute perfect reprisal weave there

strong forum
#

Just have an easily accessible bind for IP

#

And for your general rotation

molten rivet
strong forum
#

Ghost boss in Top let's you charge extremely often

#

So you get literally perfect reprisal value

#

And if the boss is long enough in execute you can stack up some dummy long banners

regal yacht
#

Best I can do is sustain a static number with in combat then as soon as I'm transfer pack my duration is dropping and I can't recover the time.

molten rivet
#

oh you mean you run out, charge in and interrupt ?

regal yacht
#

Maybe I need to be charging and intervening more

strong forum
#

Don't need to interrupt

you just charge when shes casting draw soul or whatever its called

You can charge twice (if need be) during every draw soul cast

can you reflect the cast ?

for me SotS experience was macro "STOP INTERRUPTS" and spam it boss 2, pray nobody dies to giga tornadoe, boss 3, pray nobody stupid enough to get hit by orb, making squid game job harder, but you can just pull him like 1 feet away and he resets

more wipes to "can't clear the squid" than any other

got to a point where orbs were never enough and you played all in the water

3rd boss was bis, get MCed and then td proc as you run to the water and kill your whole group

sick sentinel
#

it was always more like, the first one if your doing a 10 to 15 key, takes like all 4-5 orbs, and a few hits, and you'd get more and more balls as time went on than what was needed

i think you could just pally bop it away early

All the people fighting about PI are grey parsers, change my mind

bold statement

there is 2 ends to it

the "my parse is bad cuz no pi" section

and the people you give Pi to because they are really good

cinder storm
#

Yeah, the issue are the speed clears, once wlogs finds a way to separate those logs from "normal" ones people will stop crying about it, sadly, community perception something that sometimes guides what Blizz does

#

But like ion said, parses are something created by players not by them

sick sentinel
#

you put numbers to anything somebodies going to parse it out

dawn canyon

pi generally okay unless ur a pi less good demo

then its sad because your parse isnt 99 cuz no pi

Don't attempt any serious content without 4pc and double legendary. Unless you got guild who will carry you I'd stick to low keys until you have tier and leggos

The only curse affixes are dogshit, and the combination of the least shit is what decides a good week

Here's a fun kiss/curse, there's a debuff similar to hakkar's that happens randomly and when you get it you can also spread it to adds, (but make the circle half the size) and if you want to keep it up longer the tank will have to chain pull since it refreshes once it jumps to adds but not to players

low keys i pref kyrian

need to get better at chain pulling and pooling some IP's while running pack to pack

just hit 60 on my prot warr (loved tanking with it while leveling)

use LFR and hope to get a piece i can turn into a set piece?
is there a cheat sheet or a good Vid i can watch for all this crap? lol

focus on double legendary -> play kyrian until then
