#

by running all 8 my first week

nova marsh
#

Or the open world

hazy flower
#

because it's guaranteed

wind flicker
#

Its a good way to get familiar with dungeons, but not to learn proper dungeon mechanics in my opinion

nova marsh
#

Which was more common to even get groups for lol

#

Because of people wanting valor/flightstones

untold trench
#

Nah, M0 as it is now is pointless. S4 M0 tho, sounds very useful

nova marsh
#

And not wanting their eyes to bleed in the dream

proud plover
#

m0 doti next tier people farming trinkets

#

it will be useful

nova marsh
#

I really don't want to farm those out again

untold trench
#

Good gold Inc peepoHappy

nova marsh
#

I mean also does kinda ruin my idea of just steamrolling immortal M0 DOTI

#

....Potentionally

#

Still pretty steamrollable if it's equivlant to a +10, just....not a literal joke

proud plover
#

its a 10 without affixes or timer, should be fine

wind flicker
#

There hasnt been a confirmation of DOTI returning or am i mistaken?

proud plover
#

no doti for m+ no

wind flicker
#

They only mentioned the original dragonflight dungeons, not DOTI

#

I see

modest marlin
#

I wouldn't be surprised if m0 doti exists but I don't think it's a keystone in s4

nova marsh
#

why wouldn't it

proud plover
#

its m0 version should exist forever, i still run it for mounts/tmog

nova marsh
#

Yeah also the immortal

lament sigil
#

so btw i am confused , are the 1-10 m+ dungeons that are suposedly the equivalent of 10-20 timed or they have no timer and the timer starts at +11?

nova marsh
#

Timed

trim arrow
#

what ilvl is m0

#

next season

nova marsh
#

The only difference is the M0 is equivlant to a no timer +10

lament sigil
#

so basically nothing changes and they simply squished the dificulty

proud plover
nova marsh
#

yeah

proud plover
#

nice easy visual guide

modest marlin
#

M0s will be a bit easier cause of no affix and timer but still decently hard

proud plover
#

people will be screaming about heroics tho

dire hinge
#

Myth vault gonna be easy bc only two affixes keks

modest marlin
#

I'm down, screw sang, bursting, and spiteful

proud plover
dire hinge
#

Is it?

#

Ngl I haven’t done keys for a while

proud plover
#

2+ fort/tyran

trim arrow
#

spiteful is free pad

dire hinge
#

Isn’t it like 2/8/16 or something (not at my pc)

proud plover
#

Mythic+
The Mythic+ system will have rewards up to level 10, with +2 starting from what would regularly be a +11 in the current Mythic+ system.
A +5 should be as hard as a +15 and +10 should be as hard as a +20 in the current Mythic+ system etc.
Affixes would slot in at +2, +5, and +10
+2 - Fortified/Tyrannical
+5 - Entangling / Incorporeal etc.
+10 - Bursting / Bolstering etc.
Dungeon ratings should be equivalent to what they represent in the current system.
There should be a smaller range of keystone levels to find groups for, and more meaningful progression between each level.

#

^^ s4\

#

well fuck myth vault comes from +8

#

so yeah fort/tyran and 1 affix

trim arrow
#

thats just a content nerf

pulsar summit
#

Unless they change that quest

proud plover
#

they can do 4xm2's and it will be easier

pulsar summit
#

Which seems odd, but yea, your right

trim arrow
#

m+ vault gear even more free now

inner wasp
#

just like, as a standard

proud plover
#

thats their plan

inner wasp
#

m+ is supposed to be the other half of endgame but ur loot maxes out far before i even have to start paying attention

#

always felt weird

proud plover
#

its going to be easier, means i can get myth vault an all of my alts with less work

inner wasp
#

granted that chart says the top end difficulty will be the same

#

which is eh

#

but normal and heroic and m0-7 being the same god damn thing is zzzzz

trim arrow
#

yeah idk

#

m+ gear is too easy to get

#

for its difficulty imo

proud plover
#

s4 alt feels - do i make a return of the fotm ret, continue the boomy, play devoker/aug or finally convert one of my mistweavers into ww

modest marlin
#

It's not that normal and heroic raiding is hard, it's just more annoying

inner wasp
#

monk is sick

proud plover
#

yeah i have 4 monks..

trim arrow
#

you hate yourself if you play aug

inner wasp
#

why dawg

trim arrow
#

why 4 monks

wary raft
#

I mean only 13.3% of the pop has all keys at 20

#

raiderio doesnt have anything for all 18s but

#

I imagine its not that much higher

modest marlin
#

The 2500 achieve is close for that

proud plover
modest marlin
#

That's like 20%

trim arrow
#

oh

#

i got my timereaver in wod

#

didnt know it was rare

proud plover
#

grats

#

glad someone got it

trim arrow
#

is monk even better

#

than other specs in tw

#

i could have sworn havoc was the best spec

modest marlin
#

I got it during the break the time ways thing in 10.0.5

wary raft
#

fury goes pretty hard in tw

#

I think best (at least last time I worred about my tw set) was fmage

#

fire is BONKERS in tw

proud plover
#

only did 12 toons this week between heearthstone portals

modest marlin
#

The reason they're squishing m+ is that not a ton of people did 2-10s as it is and there's been a lot of people who say the timer keeps them from doing m+

trim arrow
#

i literally see people queue tw tank role

#

as havoc

proud plover
#

pwar is the best timewalking spec hands down

trim arrow
#

you can pull the whole instance

#

and just nuke it

trim arrow
#

in full bis nothing is better at speedrunning tw than that spec

modest marlin
#

Another reason they're changing m+ is because Delve vaults will reward hero track loot too as solo content

proud plover
#

pwar in questing greens out of the box, no tier, shitty trinkets - unkillable, can charge/leap and tc packs and keep running to boss and everything sticks to you and dies

trim arrow
#

if you’re gonna spam tw

#

why not gear for it

proud plover
#

i have geared tw toons but i dont have the time to invest into ALL my tw toons

trim arrow
#

im lazy and just use 3x bom with some trinkets

#

and enchanted wep

#

3x revenge is technically better

latent moss
#

and honeslty

#

i couldnt care less

#

about weeklies being 18s

#

8s after the squish

proud plover
#

hahaa m+ gear is easy to get - i can hear all those that farmed tott for a weapon for months to never see it drop scream rn

latent moss
#

if that makes them happy and doesnt impact me

#

go ahead

trim arrow
#

what tott weapon?

proud plover
#

i kinda like the idea that the max reward structure for m+ ends well before the difficulity

trim arrow
#

whitefin axe?

proud plover
#

yeah i looted one, gave like 7 away and got a 489 in vault week 3

trim arrow
#

mid tier wep

#

would rather have gorehowl

proud plover
#

i had that also

trim arrow
#

i got 489 whitefin week 2

#

then 489 leech ravencrest’s

#

same week i got fyralath

proud plover
#

completed all the seasons tmogs at the same time - nice!

trim arrow
#

i still havent seen gorehowl

proud plover
#

thats hella unlucky

trim arrow
#

rolling leech on myth chest and weapon is funny

#

i have like 900 leech from 2 items

proud plover
#

the gorehowl bonus is trash anyway

trim arrow
#

get that brh minmax

#

jk not giving up 443 leech on oh

proud plover
#

better in dht

#

but still trash

trim arrow
#

whats a demon in dht

proud plover
#

all the satyr's

trim arrow
#

ehh

#

but theres a whole hallway of demons before 3rd boss in dht

#

wasnt sure if xavius was a demon

proud plover
#

yep

#

it was less than 1% damage from memory

#

over entire key

trim arrow
#

its more flavor than anything

proud plover
#

some random 17 dht i did with it months ago

trim arrow
#

i tend to forget satyrs are demons

#

the dangerous trash in dht is beasts

@sage badge do you disagree that arms has issues spending rage?

#

Your boy taco says you are always at 0 rage

gaunt ginkgo
#

I don't know when (though I guess during the first pull) in my last dungeon I did this... but I hate me xD

sage badge
#

I got in the habit of just spending excess into ignore pain even if I wouldn't need it.

outer holly
#

I often find that trying to keep up stacks of IP leaves me at a rage deficit more often than not

gaunt ginkgo
#

Nah, ret pally was 34k ahead of me on overall, EB +20

sage badge
#

Like during bladestorm for example, I'd just spend on ignore pain since you'll cap rage anyway. Even if there isn't anything that'd kill you.

quaint otter
sage badge
#

You're basically sacrificing using sos-whirlwind, and relying on sudden death procs if you're trying to prep more than 1 stack of ignore pain against something (Yazma on high tyrannical for soul rend, or Mindbender's flame shock).

snow flame
#

he understands now

sage badge
toxic holly
#

Hi, can someone telling me if i must use MS on CD or waiting at least 2 stacks of OP/EXEC on it before using it ?

pine wind
#

i use it on CD to avoid potentially scrubbing a tactician proc

#

err battlelord

toxic holly
#

That's what i was thinking... Ty

pine wind
#

Sometimes i get a nice string of procs and can alternate OP/MS for like 10 globals. better than having to weave a slam in because everything else is on CD

#

Also, are the arms sims working well? on the guide rezans eye is shown to be a second bis but its simming less than my Porcelain crab/sandglass combo and Mirrors is simming as a 1.5% upgrade

manic grove
#

is arms as cringe as fury on smolderon?

halcyon breach
#

By cringe do you mean having to delay orbs

#

If so then yes

manic grove
#

yeah lol

#

same thing you have to run out and then leap back?

halcyon breach
#

yes

manic grove
#

😭

halcyon breach
#

Or leap out and charge back in

#

Either works

#

But both specs work on a 1:30 CD basis

manic grove
#

feels so bad for fury, progging last night was horrid

halcyon breach
#

Idk all of Smolderon prog I didn't care about it

manic grove
#

was wondering if arms would feel better

halcyon breach
#

You'll effectively play the same fight regardless of being Fury or Arms

manic grove
#

ok no worries ty

boreal quartz
boreal quartz
#

Fury doesnt die to 1 later into the fight

#

Also for fat arms dam you need the boss in intermission at 30% for the fatal mark

#

Which will be wonky on prog

halcyon breach
boreal quartz
#

@halcyon breach reclear is imminent

#

6.5%

halcyon breach
#

had 13% pull 2 days ago

#

So surely it will be over tonight

#

And I'm freed

boreal quartz
#

Well the 6.5er was a raid before yday - on monday they only got 9% or so idk

#

Cuz im on vacation for ce as is customary by now

halcyon breach
#

Consider killing faster

boreal quartz
boreal quartz
halcyon breach
#

So could've the 13% wipe for us if there wasn't a terrorist tornado (I checked my vod to see who did it) that killed half the raid

boreal quartz
#

But that's okay

#

I wonder who gets the bird ngl

halcyon breach
boreal quartz
#

Or can u join spongai

halcyon breach
#

I'm gonna try and join Tutel

boreal quartz
#

As dh or wario though

#

Or yellow

halcyon breach
#

But I don't think they're particularly excited to recruit another melee

boreal quartz
#

Famous slayer baneziwindwalker

halcyon breach
#

How about never

"Hello. We’d like to answer a couple of questions we’ve seen for Slayer:

The brief Bladestorm from Frenetic Flurry will fit in the GCD from the ability that triggered it, the intent is that it should not impact your rotation. The ability to use Pummel and Storm Bolt while Bladestorming applies during all Bladestorms, not just the one triggered from Frenetic Flurry.

Likewise, all Bladestorm damage events will trigger Overwhelming Blades, including Frenetic Flurry and the additional ticks from Imminent Demise.

Thanks for the feedback, keep it coming!"

Do i understand ir right, that when this bladestorm is triggered by OP/BT while the GCD of OP/BT is running im doing a bladestorm, and when the GCD falls of the Bladestorm falls off aswell, so it doesnt have any impact on my playstyle?

halcyon breach
#

Yes

#

It's what they explicitly mean by saying it wont impact your rotation

dreamy spire
#

yeah, my english isnt the best so i just wanna ask if i got this right.

halcyon breach
#

Always fine to ask for clarification

dreamy spire
#

sometimes i mix something up. Or sometimes they talking in a confusing way, like they did with the M+ Changes last week

halcyon breach
#

Yeah well Blizzard is notorious when it comes to wording

astral yarrow
#

infamous even

hardy olive
#

Will there be another mythic raids nerf?

it's a secret patch

#

no one knows anything

At this point what boss needs nerfing?

#

Given s4 is basically "soon"

#

Expecting the raid to get jailered

#

Wouldn't be supprised when servers come up if fyrakk is further nerfed

#

And tindril

dull siren
#

Raszageth needs nerfs

verbal ingot
#

You got like 800 guilds stuck on fyrakk, 700 or something on tindral and a couple hundred stuck on smolderon

Raid to be jailered soon (tm) chatting

quasi torrent
#

smolder most certainly doesn't need further nerfs

crimson nymph
#

Slap fyrakk with another 10% nerf and call it a day

rare kite
#

Fyrakk gonna get more nerfs for sure

Gotta gatekeep @halcyon breach as well

#

We started prog recently, roster boss soon again

#

Surely we get to p2 soon

halcyon breach
#

We could've probably have killed him by now easily if we didn't have 2 cancels and multiple roster swaps mid prog

rare kite
#

Our tswift took way too long coz of roster. What a slog

halcyon breach
#

We're 5 pulls away from our Tindral pullcount

#

At the end of the day as long as I get CE and I get out with my mental somewhat intact I'm fine with it

rare kite
halcyon breach
#

We had 325 on Tindral

#

Which is definitely on the lower end, even post nerf, I imagine

rare kite
#

Ye for sure

boreal quartz
#

Somehow raided 10h/week

#

Completely degranged

halcyon breach
mortal vigil
#

10h a week doesn't sound deranged tho?

#

We did like 50h a week of nzoth prog that was unhinged xdd

astral yarrow
#

wtf

#

i raided 5 times a week that tier and did not hit those numbers

halcyon breach
mortal vigil
#

we got like 13th i think

boreal quartz
#

It is unhinged

halcyon breach
#

It does not sound sustainable in any way

boreal quartz
#

50h a week is just 2 full days tbf

#

Echo does a LOT more critcake

mortal vigil
#

during the week its evenings from 19 to 24 and then on the weekend we raided noon to midnight. the thing is, we were done after 1 1/2 weeks

halcyon breach
#

Yeah I don't think you look at it just in a 50 hour span straight

boreal quartz
#

10h a day monkaW

hazy flower
#

nzoth looks crazy, I was checking the other day and method/fsy had like 4-5 mages??

#

what's up with that xd

halcyon breach
#

Fire was broken

#

That's all

mortal vigil
#

mage was pretty good there

boreal quartz
#

Also 4 dks

#

Stacking turbo common

halcyon breach
#

Corruption just made some specs insanely broken and all you needed was just stat stacking

boreal quartz
#

Same for the 4(or 3 idk) arms wf sylv

hazy flower
astral yarrow
#

😡

halcyon breach
#

Compared to other specs (dh moment) where you had to hit a god RNG pull to look good

hazy flower
#

so weird

#

3 of each spec

#

xd

boreal quartz
#

Fire is generally the turbo godspec

#

DF making arcane remotely usable is giga uncommon

hazy flower
#

3 unholys, 3 mms, 3 afflis, 3 boomkies

halcyon breach
#

Yet mages complain on CD that their class sucks

hazy flower
#

xd

halcyon breach
boreal quartz
#

Arcane did kill sylv tbt

hazy flower
boreal quartz
#

Tbf

hazy flower
#

I see priests complain

boreal quartz
hazy flower
#

xd

#

about what

#

being unkillable in m+, meta in every season or being top in raid like every tier

halcyon breach
#

If they're not the absolute top for all of a season then they will think they're unwanted

#

Idk they'll always find something to complain about

hazy flower
#

they will still be unwanted

#

because average fucking mage

#

is dog shit

#

compared to most other classes

#

most of the specs will at least play at an x level while mages will be underperforming 99% of the time

halcyon breach
#

A lot of that also comes from the fact that people will just reroll to some broken spec but have no idea how to play said broken spec

#

But assume they'll do damage just by playing it

mortal vigil
#

i mained mage for a long time and mage defo has tiers where you only bring one for intellect much like warrior, their bad tiers are just rarer i suppose

hazy flower
#

1 for raid buff is not that bad

astral yarrow
#

having 3 dps specs kinda helps

hazy flower
#

but even early in this season when mage was apparently shitty in raid

#

it was slowly being established as meta in m+

#

as top teams began to run mage

#

and that was pre buffs n stuff

boreal quartz
hazy flower
#

hmmge

#

ramp spec

#

cant do big overalls in +21

halcyon breach
#

Fire is also just not it generally in low keys

boreal quartz
#

I mean ignite is just inherently the most broken fucking spec in the game

#

Damage pattern wise

astral yarrow
#

ignite the spec

hazy flower
#

the new spec

boreal quartz
boreal quartz
#

I despise FS

hazy flower
#

it's just that players in 26 are better than in 21's

boreal quartz
hazy flower
#

but stuff still melts

astral yarrow
#

me playing mage in Castle tier and fucking up by casting too much FS bedge

boreal quartz
#

Pointless yap

astral yarrow
#

too much FS = fewer combusts

hazy flower
boreal quartz
#

I hate @ cursoring 24/7

hazy flower
#

if you just brute force the dam

#

you will time keys

#

big overall specs

boreal quartz
hazy flower
#

people put too much pressure on that when you can just get demo or other stuff that's heavily frontloaded and destroy the packs

tardy crag
#

It's required in the mage code

#

How u think they always op

#

Constantly gaslight blizzard

halcyon breach
#

You'd think that'd make a class good

#

Or broken

#

All you gotta do is just be Blizzards favourite child clueless

hazy flower
#

I remember visiting sp disc like week 2 or sum early shit this season and they were all yapping how they're so bad in m+

#

kek

#

after being the most broken spec after aug for entirety of season 2

boreal quartz
#

Join mage one

#

It's decent content

hazy flower
#

I think I joined one recently?? but I havent read shit

tardy crag
#

Mage is broken for 0.5 % of community and their strengths don't matter everywhere else

rare kite
hazy flower
#

I started playing in s1 and my perception was a bit different so I couldn't really say anything about that

#

I remember them being definitely good or very good

#

but that's all I can say

#

they were straight up top tier since the very beginning of s2

#

as much as everything was balanced sp was an outlier since early weeks

rare kite
#

Outlier s1 and s2

boreal quartz
#

The worst mage spec is twice as good as the best hunter

untold trench
#

Any improvements for sword and board arms, that you guys can spot off the bat?

boreal quartz
#

Grab ip

#

Equip 2h

frigid lava
#

Mage is always top tier

umbral sluice
untold trench
#

You got anything to add to why it is undercooked - and what could be improved?

umbral sluice
#

Missing ip, 2h, ep, stamina, pain and gain

#

Imp ss not that hot imo

#

But it all depends on context, you only need optimal talents for somewhat higher keys

umbral sluice
#

Ah mb didn’t realize you are playing some meme spec

frigid lava
#

what is sword and board arms

umbral sluice
#

Just do whatever

frigid lava
#

Is it like surf and turf

untold trench
#

Sword and Board, 1h+Shield, indeed

#

it doesnt do too badly overall

proud plover
#

rotation is ww spam then exeecute?

frigid lava
#

What skills do you use with shield? lol

hazy flower
#

is 90k pala 450 ilv

untold trench
#

Still working on it, but it is very execute heavy, with slam/ww/shieldslam

proud plover
#

can you cast ms?

#

or op

frigid lava
#

Where is the benefit

untold trench
#

No MS/Cleave, but OP works

#

benefit is more armor, I guess?

halcyon breach
#

There is no benefit

frigid lava
#

Run fury and add shit ton stamina

untold trench
#

Fury 1h and shield doesnt work

#

all abilities are blocked basically

frigid lava
#

No i mean dual wield 2h

untold trench
#

That wouldnt be sword and board tho

woven wasp
#

press t

#

spec prot

frigid lava
#

t

#

yea spec prot lol

#

and troll in pvp

sharp wyvern
#

Just make prot use 2h weapons and be warrior the one class that doest wear 1handers

untold trench
#

Prot is only fun as 2hand

#

Big executes

frigid lava
#

Make SMF Great Again

untold trench
#

Fun fact, prot executes got twice the base dam than arms exe

sharp wyvern
#

But prot doesn't have Juggernaut does it

untold trench
#

it does

sharp wyvern
proud plover
frigid lava
#

Does execute make MS great ?

proud plover
untold trench
#

I need ST tho, not AoE, as my AoE is totally fine - ya think it is worth?

#

Well, gonna give it a try

frigid lava
#

My DPS seems like it's stuck.

#

I don't have much upgrades to do... at this point (besides vault)

#

Maybe because Blizzard tuned warriors with leggo as standard

proud plover
untold trench
#

ST with SKS seems alright ish tho

#

140-180k

#

Gonna give WW build a try, if ST doesnt faceplant too much, it is prob worth

proud plover
#

good luck cooking 🙂

#

what size keys you running?

clever crag
#

And rogue still shits on it

#

Any day of the week

untold trench
proud plover
#

lmao

frigid lava
#

I'm pretty sure up to +23 is pretty breezy...

clever crag
#

They ruin your keys

#

Why not brick theirs

frigid lava
#

I wiped so many damn times in BRD (healer dc's half the game) but still timed +21

untold trench
#

My rule of thumb is: If I cant carry it with meme build, I dont meme build, so if they all try to brick their key - I can still save it just going mainbuild for half the key, as a security net.

proud plover
#

id donate a key just to see it in action tbh, think i let keys rot to +18 atm tho

#

patch in morning, pirate gamers unite

untold trench
#

yarrr

frigid lava
#

My sub just expired... guess Im going to wait

frigid lava
#

Another long maintenance 😦

proud plover
#

patch day my man

frigid lava
#

is it for real this time?

proud plover
#

yes

gaunt owl
#

Its taking longer because they are cancelling s4

frigid lava
#

I don't think there is any change to warrior though, right?

proud plover
#

nah class tuning will happen before s4 while we 'live test' it for them

gaunt owl
#

Warrior deleted

frigid lava
#

I knew it

gaunt owl
#

They need the space for next xpac

proud plover
#

warrior neew support spec?

log on, run M+, log off

tardy crag
#

Just play ff and fish

#

True gamer time

frigid lava
#

ff that good?

tardy crag
#

It's good to chill

#

I play wow when I wanna be competitive

#

Quests are like 30x more interesting on ff

gaunt ginkgo
#

Personally, I play FF for raid, WoW for m+

#

But I don't mythic raid in WoW anymore, so take that as you will

broken sun
#

what would change in s4 gameplay wise
guess only sudden death proc goes down in priority spending+maybe ms during execute?

minor gust
#

I could never get into FF14 gameplay even as I got to max lvl but the story kept me playing to the end

frigid lava
#

I just have hard on for AA first pull troar.

proud plover
#

keeping the tier proc running so ms has a prio again

frigid lava
#

no tier change for s4?

latent moss
#

with s1 tier

gaunt ginkgo
#

FF starts incredibly slowly, gameplay wise. Painfully so. But max, it's fast paced enough with most jobs having a fair amount of oGCDs + interesting raid fights that it keeps me interested

latent moss
#

we are going back to s1

frigid lava
#

oh.. just s1?

proud plover
#

yeah

broken sun

and ms > sudden death proc

frigid lava

what's the name of tier... looking it up.

Dont worry im gonna curse the spec even more next tier

You guys are in for a wild ride

how you cursing it - no ip rage spend, no sks

Cancelaura forbidden no jutsu

frigid lava
proud plover
#

no SD cancelaura in execute phase?

minor gust
#

FF14 still a good game tho worth trying if u like mmos

gaunt ginkgo
# minor gust even at max lvl the combat just felt incredibly janky. I still think wow has the...

Oh no question, FF14 tab targetting is straight-up garbage, even with making adjustments to the settings to make it better (cone vs whatever default is, and some other stuff). The bad netcode makes some stuff janky/weird (specifically snapshotting, which also changes from ability to ability and so you have to learn the timings). But I still find the fights satisfying to execute, and it's more fun for me to otpimize there than in WoW raids

frigid lava
#

I might go back to fury... for S4

minor gust
#

Wow really needs to learn to design fights with well telegraphed attacks like FF14 IDC if it doesnt match the theme

#

im really tired of red circle on red floor with a red boss

gaunt ginkgo
#

Rotations in that game are also a lot less RNG than WoW, with very minimal procs, so that's either a pro or a con depending on the person

proud plover
#

what the fuck the 'event' isnt eeven in wow...

minor gust
#

im going to freak out if I have to deal with that shit again

gaunt ginkgo
#

Oh absolutely, I despise WoW's complete and utter disregard for visual clarity

#

I hated it before playing a lot of FF14, and coming back from a solid break makes me hate it even more xD

frigid lava
#

i think blizzard acknowledged the visual has become overwhelming.

gaunt ginkgo
#

I mean, they can acknowledge it, but they don't really do much about it

minor gust
#

they have but they don't do anything about it

#

they just keep doing it

frigid lava
#

I can't see shit in a big raid.. I mean sometimes in M+s too

minor gust
#

they keep making the same mistake over and over and over and over again

gaunt ginkgo
#

Happens all the time in m+

minor gust
#

they literally said in an interview after SL they don't want to do insane hard bosses with raid wipe mechanics then they proceeded to make Tswift and Fyrakk

#

they have said that nerfing a boss is a failure and yet still every end boss needs countless nerfs

gaunt ginkgo
#

Blizz has a nasty habit of
a) doing overlapping colours for thematic reasons (Nymue is a good example currently, Denathrius in SL really stands out, etc)
b) having spell effect hitboxes not match their visual. DHT plants come to mind on this one, before they fixed it

frigid lava
#

Tswift and Fyrakk Obama. Illuminati confirmed

minor gust
#

Blizzard said they don't care about RWF and don't want to balance the raid for them and yet every DF tier they still tune bosses for RWF players

#

Blizz needs to grow some balls and kill RWF by having the difficulty at the lvl where Liquid kills the end boss in 2 days

frigid lava
#

what's RWF

minor gust
#

because thats prob the difficulty top 1000 CE guilds can comfortable do without nerfs

copper swan
#

race world first

minor gust

Race World first

tardy crag

Guys it's Battle royal time

slow saddle
#

hmm

#

i think visual has been good

#

this raid

#

its not terrible, setup ya system to remove worst clutter.

astral yarrow
slow saddle
#

consider turning up contrast

astral yarrow
#

we had Tindral at 6% before post RWF nerfs came in

#

that fucking sucked

minor gust
#

I bet

#

its an awful feeling

#

they need to stick to their guns and take to heart that having to nerf a boss is a failure

astral yarrow
#

Echo and liquid kill boss and then they get wing clipped for Instant Dollars and FSY to kill them lol

#

Nah, i just view it as an issue of gear progression not being long enough

#

killing the final boss and having very minor upgrades to get is kinda weird

minor gust
#

it is but I really enjoy the current gear pacing

#

Maybe the game really could use an ICC buff

#

or the helm enchant getting stronger

astral yarrow
#

i'd like it more if the progression was 486 in 4 weeks, not 2

proud plover
#

im ok with things like helm enchant gaining power - but leave the grind for it behind

astral yarrow
#

and after the 4th week, 486 is pretty easy to acquire (if you have help obv)

minor gust
#

Grind for it doesnt feel like a big deal because u just do the raid and call it a day

proud plover
#

thats a good idea - clear the raid and gain some power for it or something

minor gust
#

thats what the helm enchant was

shadow ibex
#

That's the helm enchant

minor gust
#

grind raid for 5 weeks

#

get borrowed power

proud plover
#

nah i mean every week after it gets a little stronger

minor gust
#

yeah

astral yarrow
#

helm enchant was not big enough to be a substantial nerf factor

visual fern
minor gust
#

honestly max had a cool take

proud plover
#

is la still a thing?

shadow ibex
#

I don't want some proc dealing more % of my DMG Pepexecute

minor gust
#

make smoldy the end boss for gear and CE and the last two bosses of a tier are cosmetic nuts to butts only

smoky kayak

Arms Season 1 tier buffed in Season 4

Vault of the Incarnates (4) Set Bonus: Bonus damage and Critical Strike chance increased to 8% (was 5%).```
proud plover
shadow ibex
#

Idk those mid raid wall bosses are boring

#

Smoldy and sludge fist are just patchwork

minor gust
#

make the last two insanely difficult bosses but its all for the cosmetics

daring heron
#

holy

#

wait what

#

thats a huge buff to the set

proud plover

trinket tuning!

Crit dmg always big

Epic buffs

proud plover
#

New glyphs have been added to transform the appearance of the recently updated Covenant abilities back to their old Covenant visuals. They can be purchased from the Covenant quartermasters. - this is a win

shadow ibex
#

No proc just dam

obtuse copper
#

Was hoping they'd do that

#

Would tbh also be sick if they experimented and gave us entirely new glyphs with new animations etc.

tepid wigeon

think they will add the s4 data so it can be datamined - like a fated vendor with leggo upgrade on it

slow saddle
#

Do we rly need that big if a ilvl jump

fringe moon
#

Nice, our s4 tier bonus buffed???

proud plover
#

yes so everything is an upgrade

fringe moon
#

Can’t wait for the fated vendor

#

Wonder which trinkets we’ll be using in s4. Anvil again? Double stat stick? Puzzlebox? So many to choose from

proud plover
#

signet/augury/anvil/beacon all come to mind

#

icon/oce trinkets got nerfed

olive nest

Blazing bloodhoof

add spear too

minor gust

the true uncontrolable Slayer build

vital zealot

And leggo

copper swan

obtuse copper

And colossus

daring heron

oh yeah leggo and demolish in prepatch

minor gust

about 10 apm

olive nest

Idk who the clowns where that voted s1 arms set

#

Get em outta here!

obtuse copper
#

Yeah should've voted for the other two worse sets

olive nest
#

S3 owns

obtuse copper
#

I have not played with it so it sucks by default

minor gust
#

S3 ruined execute phase im good

tender pecan
#

S3 is ass critcake deadge

minor gust
#

S1 superiourity

olive nest
#

HUH

#

We have had the most build versatility in keys this season

copper swan
#

at least for the fact that it's the set we didn't play since the longest time

#

the competion wasn't hard y

#

but still

exotic kestrel
#

The single bladestorm build we ended up with is pretty Pog, im very down to press cleave again tho

olive nest
#

Hard locked double bldestorm build for all of fated

#

Can’t wait

exotic kestrel
#

🤢

olive nest
#

S1 dOeS bIgGeSt NuMbr

exotic kestrel
#

i voted s1 not for numbers, but for possible cleave playing

tender pecan
#

I like playing with 100 rage too deadge

exotic kestrel
#

as long as sks stays deadge

tender pecan
#

They should revert sks

exotic kestrel
#

and im not forced into FoB im happy

exotic kestrel
minor gust

S1 for Cleave

#

Fuck ethical dmg

obtuse copper
#

Man

minor gust
#

big aoe

obtuse copper
#

Colossus is living rent free in my head

frigid lava
#

cleave or dreadnaught... hmmm

obtuse copper
#

Legit cannot stop malding about how they named the tree Colossus which is directly related to the most boring cooldown in the game and they actually did nothing to make it more interesting

minor gust
obtuse copper
#

Avatar is like the perfect candidate to add a secondary stat boost or some temporary CDR or smth to

gaunt owl
minor gust
olive nest
#

Hero talents in preparch sounds sweet but idk if we’ll get them before leveling

obtuse copper
#

Did they tho

lone imp
#

I thought the size on avatar was a glyph

frigid lava
#

I just remember the brief period of time... you were literally immune to movement imparing.

obtuse copper
frigid lava
#

fuck them ice mages

gaunt owl
#

We do still grow with Avatar no?

minor gust
#

wasnt og Avatar also make u bigger

obtuse copper
#

It still does

minor gust
#

oh it just doesnt say it in the tooltip anymore huh

obtuse copper
#

Always has been 🧑‍🚀 🔫 🧑‍🚀

exotic kestrel
#

kek

#

mad about something thats not even gone

minor gust
#

Never noticed cuz its so small

#

Either way colossus tree has to be the worst one they made next to lightsmith and oracle

lone imp
#

Ah victory rush is the size glyph

exotic kestrel
#

it has the potential to be pog

#

it also has the potential to be dog

minor gust
#

even if Demolish fucks good and is amazing it doesnt execuse most of the nodes being pure boring % dmg increase

gaunt owl
#

Its pale in comparison to Slayer

next sphinx
exotic kestrel
#

idk im not insanly pogging about either tree, but both look to atleast have potential

minor gust
#

Colossus has a vers but not vers node

exotic kestrel
#

so its a fun and creative way of giving us a vers node is what ur saying

minor gust
next sphinx
#

Talents will never be fun and creative their will always be some nerd with a calculator ruining it for the rest of us. If you want to be the specialist boy just change your choice nodes every 2 minutes

exotic kestrel
#

idk i dont get the obsession that every node has to be some wacky creative interesting thing

#

the tree offers a gameplay direction;/loop and has some nice safe passive buffs

#

fine with me

latent moss
#

ye i just wish

next sphinx
#

Colossus should have a bigger size increase only complaint I have so far

latent moss
#

demolish replaces bladestorm

#

for arms

#

otherwise it will be really weird

exotic kestrel
#

thatd be good

next sphinx
#

Every node in Colossus should give a 5% size increase in combat

latent moss
#

having to demolish AND bladestorm

minor gust
#

sounds about right

exotic kestrel
#

i have 2 concerns with colossus tbh,

  1. the channel on demolish might be actual dogshit
  2. With all the things u get by stacking the dmg increase on demolish u might not even wanna press it
next sphinx
#

Well demolish locks your gcd right? I really feel like you should be able to continue your rotation while it channels..

exotic kestrel
#

its a channeld abillity

minor gust
#

yeah it could become an annoying mini game of aligning CS and Demolish everytime

latent moss
#

well

exotic kestrel
#

As long as its hasted, has a good animation and does pog dmg, i think its fine

latent moss
#

we dont know anything about arms in tww

#

and its most likely getting big gameplay changes

exotic kestrel
#

remove ToM Arms

latent moss
#

since atm its pretty dysfunctional

latent moss
#
  1. tom doesn't interact with colossus and slayer
#

which is weird

next sphinx
#

Get rid of all abilities except these ones: CS, MS, execute, demolish and BS.

exotic kestrel
#

it even negatively interacts with slayer

latent moss
#

arms negatively interacts with slayer in execute phase

#

it wants u to press op but u cant

exotic kestrel
latent moss
#

which leads me to believe they have something cooked

#

for dps warriors

exotic kestrel
#

i hope so

latent moss
#

since fury is pretty fucked as well

#

from the fury trees it seems quite obvious that their intention

#

is to make the rotation revolve around BT and use RB as a filler

exotic kestrel
#

As long as we keep the core rotation revolving around buffing MS and hitting MS im fine tbh

copper swan
#

surely the WAR whitin will have smthg good for wars

exotic kestrel
latent moss
#

i honestly couldnt care less about m+ utility

#

all we need is buffed rally and something to deal with incorp

hazy flower
#

changed rally*

#

rather than buff

#

the way rally works right now

#

it's useless

#

for most things

#

it only helps with oneshots

exotic kestrel
#

idk id like easier access to Shockwave, so we atleast have something but thats already confirmed anyway

latent moss
#

isnt that the point of it

#

but ye they could make it a shield

#

like mass barrier

hazy flower
#

or dr

exotic kestrel
#

aoe BR

latent moss
#

i dont think they would want to go down the dr route

exotic kestrel
#

memeing

latent moss
#

tuning nightmare imo

latent moss
#

it should be 30%

#

idc mage is 20% on a shorter cd

#

and they already have a bunch of shit going for them

#

we need rally to be busted

#

in m+

#

if rally isnt busted we are shit

exotic kestrel
#

was about to say

#

30% shield on full raid

#

would be wild

latent moss
#

how big was rally in sl

#

with old inspiring presence

teal fossil
#

like 28% at the end of the expac?

latent moss
#

wasnt max crying about it in sod

#

so they nerfed it in sepulcher

#

or am i misremembering

proud plover
#

What they need to do is have rally double in power when not in a raid so it's not busted in raid

latent moss
#

20% rally is a lot better but its not enough

#

as myrt said

#

its only situationally useful

#

while mass barrier for example

#

isnt always useful but its useful more often than rally

teal fossil
#

rally is just a worse shield in m+ most of the time

proud plover
#

I'm OK with it just being hp increase

sacred zodiac
latent moss
#

they should bring back inspiring presence make it so that if it affects 5 people it grants a 30% shield instead chatting

#

so its low pickrate in raid

proud plover
#

I'd just like it to feel like I've pressed it tvh

#

Nothing too busted tho, shields and Dr might be too much

exotic kestrel
#

Would be cool if it did something against movement effects

#

would be cool if i could rally on fyrakk dreamrend and people dont get pulled

tardy crag
#

More likely that interaction would goto dk

#

In some way

exotic kestrel
#

fuck dk's

tardy crag
#

Just mass deaths advance

#

True but yea

proud plover
#

Move speed for the duration could be nice

versed carbon

ay

#

hey

#

what set are we getting in S4 ?

sour forge
#

S2

versed carbon
#

cuz im reading this rn

sour forge
#

1*

#

Ya that’s the set

versed carbon
#

dam is this the better one ?

#

i like s3

teal fossil
#

where are you seeing this

versed carbon
#

set

teal fossil
versed carbon
#

patch note with the plunderstorm thing

steep osprey
fresh tide
#

it's what people voted for

warped spade
versed carbon
#

bruh but i feel like its a bit boring

sharp wyvern
#

arms sets are all boring

fresh tide
#

it's turbo boring

sharp wyvern
#

so we chose the one that looks strongest

versed carbon
#

s3 feels fun

teal fossil
#

s3 is more fun than the other 2 for sure

fresh tide
#

S3 is way more fun, yeah

versed carbon
#

yeah

teal fossil
#

also lets you spread bleeds much better in m+

sharp wyvern
#

its just a sudden death proc

sour forge
#

At least arms got real tuning compared to fury

hazy flower
#

makes me wonder

#

how they would tune s3 set

#

since its worse than s2 numbers wise as it is right now

sharp wyvern
#

now if they revert fervor we can actually have S1 gameplay

hazy flower
#

and if they buffed season 1 which is performing better than s2 numerically

versed carbon
#

whos exited for plunderstorm

teal fossil
#

is it worse than s2

#

i thought its a bit better

hazy flower
#

I may be outdated

sharp wyvern
warped spade
teal fossil
#

like tiny bit

hazy flower
#

they did buff the TC

#

to 200%

#

it was worse pre buffs

teal fossil
hazy flower
#

thats for sure

teal fossil
#

and it was entirely passive on st

hazy flower
#

idk how it stands post buffs

hybrid bolt
latent moss
#

y

#

cleave builds

hazy flower
#

mbg aa

latent moss
#

mbg is back in its full glory

idk I havent played it so long I forgor

#

I only did tiny bit of keys with mbg alone

#

in s2

#

late season

latent moss
#

basically u do everything and then u cleave to fish for 4p

#

right before all the big damooge

#

hurricane and shit

hazy flower
#

hmmge

#

I'll look into it

teal fossil
#

that was a minor optimization yeah

#

but its not a big deal

#

you should be doing it anyways

latent moss
#

stil want to do it

teal fossil
#

but it feels bad if you dont hit it

latent moss
#

now that its 8%

#

u definitely want to do it

#

also

#

what the fuck

teal fossil
#

why tf did we vote for this

latent moss
#

are those spriest buffs

latent moss
#

biggest numbers out of any tier

#

s2 had big mortal strikes and thats it

sharp wyvern
#

mortal strike buffs > TC buffs

latent moss
#

s1 big ms big exe

#

big cleave

#

im happy with s2

#

s1*

versed carbon

halcyon oriole

so S4 set is the S1 one, was it the best dps increase ? Asking because it is also the most boring one

That’s why it was popular

Well, that’s just what I read here

I voted for S3, but I understand haha

dusty dagger

I'm ok with not taking TC for s4 tbf

last inlet
#

wait

#

we don't take thunder clap? for S4?

#

TC is thunder clap right? off the top of my head

dusty dagger
#

you can but it's main appeal was adding rend to the s3 tier sudden death mechanic

last inlet
#

i mean i had TC even in S1

olive nest
#

You still take it because it applies rend

last inlet
#

for AoE/rage dump

dusty dagger
#

in m+ i think yeah you take it, but single target?

last inlet
#

i did
