Is there a way to get heroic strike activations to show up on the CDM?

modest marlin
#

have slam on it

unborn patrol
#

ahhh I get it

#

still getting used to this primitive UI

slow saddle
#

I mean its super versatile

leaden garnet
slow saddle
#

Its just not good for war yet

soft parrot
#

Slayer or Colossus for AA?

balmy kindle
#

Slayer, 1st pull it's going to look like dog but you'll catch up

#

The entire dudgeon is a ST slogfest outside of 1st pull

soft parrot
#

aye aye captain o7

balmy kindle
#

Just help burn lashers down for 1st pull and it's gucchi

soft parrot
#

also, do y'all be running battlelord or massacre + critical thinking ?

balmy kindle
#

Massacre + CT is better

soft parrot
#

ty ty the faq build doesn't have it like that

minor gust
#

Faq builds usually end up being out of date. You can just grab the build from wowhead

modest marlin
#

slayer in general feels better for boss damage

stone marsh
#

Slayer feels better in general

#

Just colossus does more overall

soft parrot
#

i swear with the st buffs on colossus it feels so much better

stone marsh
#

Demolish is just the most ass ability ever

soft parrot
#

feels like i have more control over Demolish compared to Bladestorm

#

in terms of cd's aligning

minor gust
#

at the end of the day both specs are very good and you can just play whatever you enjoy more in any key

soft parrot
#

slayer just feels so reliant on those sudden death procs for me, feels p bad. but also Demolish not critting feels bad too so give and take

balmy kindle
#

As someone who played both but going to 20s , feel both have pros and cons

#

Higher keys you really feel the difference in boss damage though

wind hatch
#

but one has extra dr gladge

pulsar frost
#

Can stand in circles and demo

#

Feels good

balmy kindle
#

Yeah colosuss is definitely a lot tankier too which helps a ton in the higher keys

wind hatch
#

honestly in the groups I run 20s with my main concern is not dying

balmy kindle
#

^^ kinda true KEKW

minor gust
#

Slayer I just find myself being aggressive with Dstance usage

#

nbd

clever crag
#

Bruh

#

I get a 94

#

Im forever stuck purple in mythic lool

wind hatch
#

i have not recleared in over a month

#

I want to reclear so bad

clever crag
#

It is nice

#

Imagine raiding without parses

balmy kindle
#

farming M parses monkahmm

clever crag
#

What other parses youd farm ? HC is too easy

balmy kindle
#

Kinda hard to parse on M if group is not amazingkeks

#

Like on imp the highest I can do is 92 since kill slow, group is near enrage sadge

full grotto
#

jesus christ 5 failed nexus in like the first 5 minutes

clever crag
#

Yes but rng can help

full grotto
#

im losing my mind

balmy kindle
#

Like to get a high parse, one must pad the adds KEKW

clever crag
#

Yeah

#

Especially Salhadar

balmy kindle
#

Man almost got salad bar down this weekdeadge , was at 10%, yeah it's a pad fest too due to the balls

modest marlin
#

if overall damage was all that mattered sin rogue's being able to snipe low health mobs would make it op ๐Ÿ˜„

full grotto
#

guild doesn't allow me to pad even when salad is on farm

modest marlin
#

I have myth helm, shoulders, cloak, and boots, plus some trinkets, why is it so damn hard to pick a dungeon to try and get my other slots

#

it'll be a risk no matter what

onyx gust
#

is gaze a huge upgrade?

modest marlin
#

for most people it generally is

balmy kindle
#

Quite on M and even H

full grotto
#

just farm pit

modest marlin
onyx gust
#

well hero gaze will helps a lot xd

full grotto
#

????????

balmy kindle
#

Yeah H gaze will beat feather

#

Easily

onyx gust
#

well gotta see if mythic gonna drop it

#

cause on hero this week 2 rolls 20 and 33 xd

balmy kindle
#

Just bonus roll, ancient heart on M is huge too

full grotto
#

pit literally has everything you need if you are running arms

onyx gust
#

so i was asking my self

#

what is better, 2 piece of Mythic Set and its 100% sure or mythic gaze that is 25% to drop from bonus roll

#

cause i dont have more

balmy kindle
#

Just gamba

#

You cannot escape

#

I didn't get my M gaze this week but I'mma just gamba next week

full grotto
#

its 33% to drop if you are speced as protection

balmy kindle
#

^^

onyx gust
#

yeah just need to think about it

balmy kindle
#

Note that if you have M heart of wind or H feather, M gaze is only about 0.6-0.8% upgrade

#

So it's not end of the worldkeks

#

Just gamba next week until you get it

leaden garnet
#

Just got a 100 parse in a +16

#

I showed my logs to my doctor; he said I was morbidly a beast

late lantern
clever crag
#

I started for gloves

#

Seat ones

#

2/10 rolls wasted so far

neon shale
#

do logs upate if i start logging after the dungeon starts

#

mid dung

atomic mist
#

should i bonus roll for hero gaze?

#

or try be patient and get myth done?

rose matrix
#

Just go get myth

#

It's easy to pug

balmy kindle
#

Easy is relative though, not having CE will make pugging quite painfulkeks

onyx gust
#

guys need quick opener for st in raid as slayer

rose matrix
#

Just make your own group and put minimum 280 ilvl and ce only

#

ez

#

Slap down 2 markers for tanks and then 2 for madness

winter kernel
#

do we not cleave 2 targets? So on Vanguard mythic just cleave when you can get the HS procs off and otherwise just SS your singletarget abilities?

leaden garnet
#

You should be asking "Am I playing well enough to match my sim"

late lantern
#

Im not, i know that, but i was also wondering if my sim is as expected for the ilvl

leaden garnet
#

Yeah, it looks fine

#

It's deceptive because you have full raid buffs turned on though

#

In practice you will never hit 92k DPS ST without lust

#

But also

#

Is my char poorly optimized?
Every single piece is either crit/haste or a tier piece

clever crag
#

Im hitting 109k st no vantus sim

distant echo
#

Guys im going for ww monk

#

Feels like everyone plays warrior

clever crag
#

What its one of the less popular classes lol

distant echo
#

Its not

#

Warrior is most likely top 4-5 class

stable fiber
#

not a chance right now

pearl shore
#

how do you guys best handle rend uptime in aoe? I have a duration timer, but that's only for my target which leads me up often drop it on the other targets since my main target gets refreshed automatically

frosty basin
#

nameplates

#

it shows debuffs on everyone

distant echo
#

Tbh i use blizzards default ui

#

It shows debuffs

onyx gust
#

does it mean i click good or still have to works on rotation

#

second boss heroic voidspare

clever crag
#

You need gear

distant echo
#

Show me youre damage from abilites

#

Your*

onyx gust
rose matrix
#

The Colossus buffs literally feel like nothing

#

This st is still so bad

#

It's crazy

clever crag
#

Yeah

stable fiber
clever crag
#

Well actually nah

distant echo
stable fiber
#

for popularity of classes

clever crag
#

On paladins I could sustain 400k for some time

onyx gust
clever crag
#

I wouldnt before

#

So on 2t its nice

thick kelp
distant echo
clever crag
#

In m+ it felt shitty still but I only did joke keys

stable fiber
distant echo
stable fiber
#

people arent going to suddenly switch to arms

distant echo
#

I alt ww monk, but bro theyre sooo fkn squishy

clever crag
#

DK and DH is fotm

stable fiber
#

its super close but it does not beat the meta

onyx gust
distant echo
#

100%

onyx gust
#

what is the meta anyway?

stable fiber
#

dk isnt fotm, the class is always good so there are alot of dk players

distant echo
stable fiber
#

dh is though

rose matrix
distant echo
#

The meta is like brew/guardian, unholy dk, devourer, demonology, resto shaman

#

Idk the healers

#

Tbh

stable fiber
#

mistweaver not mentioned

rose matrix
#

Guardian, MW, Aug, Dk, Dev

stable fiber
#

meta is bear/mw/aug/dk/dev

rose matrix
#

That's the meta

distant echo
#

Demonology?

stable fiber
#

no

distant echo
#

Wtf

stable fiber
#

demonology is good but it doesnt fit into the comp

rose matrix
#

Yeah it's really good damage but basically right below meta

stable fiber
#

its popular though

thick kelp
#

this time its a banger

distant echo
#

Arms and demonology is right below the comp..

thick kelp
distant echo
#

They just gotta fix colossus st

stable fiber
#

a good demo lock > a mid ddh though

#

is true

thick kelp
#

ddh lowk kind hard to play at bleeding edge

stable fiber
#

its the hardest spec

#

been saying

thick kelp
#

not as hard as col arms

stable fiber
#

nah it is

#

harder

thick kelp
#

its only cringe cuz u gotta time your meta expirations

stable fiber
#

i promise u

thick kelp
#

for dps amps

#

and ramp your meta

#

so you 4th star into the amp on nxp

#

or crawth

#

otherwise its easier than colo arm

leaden garnet
stable fiber
#

its ceiling is way higher

#

it is just such a weird spec idk

thick kelp
stable fiber
#

its so easy to learn but the ceiling is infinite

thick kelp
#

high floor high ceiling col arms

onyx gust
distant echo
onyx gust
#

but anything 80+ im happy with it

thick kelp
#

1 build is the best for

thick kelp
#

all scenarios

stable fiber
#

id kill for something like that on arms

thick kelp
#

eh

leaden garnet
#

imo one size fits all is incredibly boring

#

I like having bespoke setups

stable fiber
#

i think chim

#

just ruins everything

#

terrible fight

#

4 different playable builds on that boss and they are all correct depending on the scenario

#

just so shit

clever crag
#

And lock gates

stable fiber
#

well its not even raid

#

they just always do the most damage in m+

clever crag
#

If youre dk or lock you will be getting sucked off in every raid

stable fiber
#

i just dont get the raid buff argument

clever crag
stable fiber
#

you do the most damage, you have a battle res, you are the tankiest class in the game, you arent in a rwf guild so you copy the liquid strat and they like always have 2 dks on the end boss because grips are infact needed

#

like if anything rogues should be complaining about a raid buff

#

rogues dont have shit

#

paladins too but paladins atleast have a battle res

clever crag
#

Rogues are useless

rose matrix
#

Hasn't dk been in the meta comp for like 3 seasons straight now

stable fiber
#

not to mention the rogue raid buff sometimes just doesnt even work on some bosses

clever crag
#

But better than when they were mandatory for stealth skips in BfA

rose matrix
#

The problem with blizzard meta is it doesn't really change like metas should

clever crag
#

Yep

stable fiber
#

s1 tww - frost
s2 tww - unholy
s3 tww - frost
s1 mn - unholy (frost is the best spec in raid right now)

rose matrix
#

You know what is funny

#

We're in for frost being meta next season low key

#

I could see it

stable fiber
#

actually ik frost was good in raid in s1

#

but was it even good in m+

#

because shaman existed

hasty pumice
#

Good morning my arms children

rare kite
clever crag
#

Its always some type of DH/mage/dk/aug

#

For m+

leaden garnet
#

About to start M Salhadaar prog, is FoB+Whirlwind a legit strat?

hasty pumice
#

Phys comp almost got world first MT24 xeos

#

Phys is also really strong if you let it be strong

leaden garnet
#

None of the top logs are using FoB

clever crag
#

give up on Salhadar logs

stable fiber
#

nobody really knows healers but priest was meta in m+ for awhile

clever crag
#

Its padded to the extreme

rare kite
stable fiber
#

i see

clever crag
#

These goobers prolly hit small adds only

leaden garnet
#

The talent builds people are running aren't padding builds though

stable fiber
#

it was still good though

leaden garnet
#

It's the standard 2T cleave slayer

clever crag
#

Thats a decent pad build

stable fiber
#

dh tank has been good but dh dps hasnt really been insane

clever crag
#

If you pop BS

stable fiber
#

besides midnight

clever crag
#

And fury runs thane which is ultra pad

stable fiber
#

dh isnt even really that good in raid anyways

#

bait spec

#

does awful boss dps

rare kite
#

Yea was still good and unholy went under the radar before ppl discovered it s2 tww

leaden garnet
#

I don't think that word means what you think it means

rose matrix
#

I feel like Havoc is really good too but overshadowed by Dev

#

I see some of them pumping

stable fiber
#

it is

#

so is frost

rose matrix
#

Yep

stable fiber
#

both dh and dk specs are like crazy in raid and m+

#

i feel like havoc and frost are better in raid

clever crag
#

Imagine 2 specs in meta

stable fiber
#

then ddh and unhoyl are better in m+

clever crag
#

When you have 2 dps specs

#

Would never happen on war

thick kelp
#

Noob mistake to not play dk atp

stable fiber
#

its pretty close for warrior but we just always suck in raid now

thick kelp
#

they have 1/2 dps meta specs every season

stable fiber
#

and are typically pretty strong in m+

#

cope if you say otherwise

#

just not the meta comp

rose matrix
#

Being pretty good in M+ is cool and all

#

But I wish we were fully meta once

thick kelp
#

phys comp is about as meta as it can get this szn

balmy kindle
#

Aye nice to be good for once

rare kite
hasty pumice
#

Phys comp is giga strong with the right people ye

stable fiber
#

i think frost is insanely good gameplay with a shaman

thick kelp
#

yep

stable fiber
#

unholy is ass

rose matrix
#

I think shaman buff holds too much power

stable fiber
#

rune weapon is a fun button, big fan of that

#

i like to play frost when i need to feel what really good short cooldowns feel like

#

instead of the slop on fury and somewhat arms

clever crag
#

Ill just play warrior even if it sucks

stable fiber
#

push reapers mark and pillar and do 300k dps for like 10 seconds

#

so peak

#

45 second cds btw

thick kelp
#

Colossus smash

#

coulda been this

onyx gust
#

i have 2 myth chest piece one with avoidance one with leech what is better?

stable fiber
#

or make mortal strikes after hit hard

#

just crazy how miserable arms is on the pull of a raid boss

rare kite
rose matrix
#

Anytime you pull a boss without rage is so bad on Arms

thick kelp
stable fiber
#

i dont really mind CS too much

#

i like it

#

just on pull sucks

rose matrix
#

I could see the agro death with CS having high damage lol

stable fiber
#

yeah but dks play around it

#

frost atleast

#

you know that if you push reapers mark and pillar you are gonna burst for 1.5m dps on like 6 targets

#

so you just afk for a bit

balmy kindle
#

True, arms nees globals to ramp feels bad on start of pulls

#

Also very miserable when you need to swap targets

clever crag
#

The main issue is

#

Opener with couple SD stacks = massive

#

Without = complete garbage

stable fiber
#

thats kinda true

#

but the apex is worth so much more

balmy kindle
#

^^ don't you love it okayge

clever crag
#

I love having parse destroyed because of huge rng

stable fiber
#

apex stacks are so fucking strong rn

#

5 stacks of heroic might on a colossus smash is super juice

balmy kindle
#

Jokes aside yeah it's pretty annoying ngl with RNG

rose matrix
#

Slarms is basically just outlaw at this point

clever crag
#

Casino spec

stable fiber
#

the rng has become less annoying with more gear

#

thatll probably continue as the expansion progresses

#

so w/e

rose matrix
#

To me both hero talents feel pretty bad in st for whatever reason

#

In aoe I have fun but st is pretty sad to play imo

stable fiber
#

if you try to play slayer with 400 haste on a new character, bladestorm never lines up with avatar/cs

balmy kindle
#

Tuning problem KEKW

rose matrix
#

I like Fury too but I hate how Rampage does nothing

#

I feel like it would be so much better with less Rampage casts but it hit really hard

balmy kindle
#

Well madox has a pretty nice mt guide which summarized = hit blast

#

I tend to agree with hitting blast

weak rain
#

hard agree, apex ruined fury lol

#

arms needs something to generate rage, skullsplitter would've been nice at this point(earliset version, the one that just gave focking rage and was hasted)

balmy kindle
#

Simple, just make charge generate more rage or Op to gen rage okayge

#

Band aid fix but it's whatever at this point

weak rain
nova ravine
#

Bring back taking damage = rage

distant echo
#

Ur rend genererate rage okayge

#

Generate

weak rain
#

rend generating rage is so shit, it needs to go, replace it with something else

distant echo
#

Its good in aoe

#

In st its garbage

clever crag
#

I wouldnt say the rng is less annoying

distant echo
clever crag
#

Just less noticeable

robust cypress
#

in M+, after I afvatar+Smash am I suppose to cleave 3x or bladestorm first

#

Hey everyone, got two questions. The add spawn on dragons is HP based or timer based? And to get the cd usage shown from lorrgs which addon do I need? Thanks!

balmy kindle
clever crag
#

We had more rage gain in classic lmaoo

stable fiber
#

but that wasnt because of shit like talents

#

rage normalization was good for the class so

#

you shouldnt have to be full bis and fully world buffed to have a working rage bar, that is super dogshit lmao

clever crag
#

Now you only need shaman and you still wont have that good rage

stable fiber
#

you still needed a shaman

#

this game would suck without rage normalization holy

#

you get a weapon upgrade and its a 40% dps upgrade lmfao

#

1 auto attack in full bis caps your rage bar

#

chills

balmy kindle
#

I think TWW was the only expansion where blue man made little diff monkahmm

#

Like I remember having so much rage

bold anchor
#

Had a few runs at colossus, it feels so good to play again

#

But harder in pugs

#

Had to go slayer for skyreach, and after 2-3 keys as colossus it felt so weird to play

bold anchor
#

But keep in mind, some fights are planned on their dps/tacs so it wont always line up perfectly

#

If you just copypasta

winter kernel
#

On Vanguard mythic, is cleave lowest prio when hitting only 2target? So MS > HS > OP > Cleave?

bold anchor
#

Wowutils is also a good option i guess

#

If you have ravager going id say cleave jumps up a bit, but i dont remember the exact prio

winter kernel
#

wouldnt you hold ravager if possible for when ure hitting 3 though

#

not too long obviously

bold anchor
#

Yeah if you could make sure to have all 3 for the full duration

nova marsh
#

Past like s1 you had literal infinite rage

balmy kindle
#

True DF S2 was infinite rage to the point dumping rage to IP for dmg was a thing

wind hatch
clever crag
#

DF s2 was peak arms

#

One of the peaks

wind hatch
#

and yeah ALWAYS hold ravager for 3 target

#

Can we now comfortably run Colo in all keys 21+?

clever crag

Prolly trolling on SR still

distant echo
#

I have alot of haste and even then in execute phase so am i rage hungry as fuck, is it only me?

tame perch
#

I see SHai did 23 SR as colo, that's great news ๐Ÿ™‚

idle stump
#

Damage between the two should be really close and colo has the plus of being more tanky, which helps a lot in this key

clever crag
#

Isnt that trolling or is the buff that nice

#

All the bosses are st except some 2t cleave

#

In pugs barely anyone pulls stuff onto first boss

#

Let alone 2nd

balmy kindle
#

Might have some problem for 1st and 2nd boss

#

Since nobody pulls stuff

#

But 3rd and 4th has some funnel potential

austere hamlet
#

Ye slayer might be slightly better dmg wise depending on routing, but itโ€™s also squishy which sucks

Demolish also makes mobs do less dmg to self

#

Npx what we wanna play these days im just doing 19

pearl shore
#

how do you correctly reflect the beam on seat lura?

#

do you fully tank it or just run through it really fast?

#

do you maybe need another def cd to not die to a second tick?

slow saddle
#

doing a 20 npx so same q i guess we just play FULL Col these days ?

#

well dip that to a 19

#

tank outpaced the healer and then died

onyx gust
#

Stupid question but did haste gives more ticks on BS? cause i feel like with BL, BS do so much more damage

leaden garnet
#

Not more ticks, but it ticks faster

#

You get more ticks via SD procs

latent moss
ionic mica
latent moss
#

no way

#

maybe one tick cause sr is dumb

#

like u can reflect one tick of silence on 2nd boss magisters

#

when u walk into the circle

#

btw if u sr and walk into the circle and u dont get silenced before boss does the cast cause u reflected a tick

#

u will be silenced for the full duration

guys, lets assume i can play all 4 dps specs of warrior well, for cosmos, which one do recommend for first kill?

dunno dont care its still bad advice

lone yarrow
#

brother

sacred zodiac
#

with that logic you wouldve played ST talents on rashanan

lone yarrow
#

you literally do though

#

rashanan ads are crazy pad that's not worth ruining your ST over

#

to still let a hunter overpad you

guilds were literally chain wiping to rashanan the week after the adds were removed from parsing

maybe it is.... but I never found a group yet that invited me allthough I have 9/9H - I might have to tank it myself to get a chance haha

form your own group

Option 2: have already killed the bosses on mythic
Option 3: trade the raid leader 10k gold for a spot

onyx gust
#

sometimes i have target that is far from me and i press button just to do nothing cause target is to far. Is there a macro that will target nearest enemy? i did one but whenever i press OP or MS it changes target xd

uncut lagoon
#

Literally just make your own group

#

takes 30 minutes

#

done

onyx gust
#

yeah i know i can click TAB to change target but my fingers wont allow me to

uncut lagoon
#
/startattack```
or if you want a hard switch at a /cleartarget as the first line
as such:
```/cleartarget
/targetenemy
/startattack```
late lantern
#

does anyone know why the cdm sound alert on sweeping strikes being removed stopped giving a sound in combat?

onyx gust
#

it wont switch target everytime i click spell?

#

also i need to make macro for MS/OP/EXE with it?

#

or is that just TAB thing but in macro

uncut lagoon
uncut lagoon
onyx gust
#

that works then?

uncut lagoon

/startattack
/cast Mortal Strike``` like this
#

no you are using (

#

not [

onyx gust
#

its just a font

#

#showtooltip Overpower
/targetenemy [noharm][dead]
/startattack
/cast Overpower

#

it looks like that

uncut lagoon
#

ah

#

weird font

onyx gust
#

but font changes [ to (

uncut lagoon
#

but yes

onyx gust
#

but looks good

uncut lagoon
#

might want to test it in the world before a raid/dungeon though

onyx gust
#

works fine

#

thanks a lot

#

Now i will not lose some gcd

uncut lagoon
#

with how shit tab targetting is in retail rn I might switch to these macros myself

#

good idea

onyx gust
#

idk how it works

#

but i have 60% keyboard and i dont have enough space in pull to click tab also

#

a lot of shit happening

#

to focus on that also

I don't even use tab target. Tab is actually my kick

What is tab targeting even useful for

sacred zodiac
#

changing targets without much effort

Unless you need it to optimize your spec

I just click the nameplate or the boss frames

sure you can do that

#

can you turn your camera while doing that?

feral breach
#

And it targets the next target that is casting

#

Which is nice with a bunch of adds cluttering the nameplates

rose matrix
#

Every situation I am in is mostly just a focus kick

rose matrix
sacred zodiac
#

think of one yourself im not gonna justify the usefulness of tab targetting to you

#

its not necessary but its nice to have

rose matrix
#

I mean you brought up the point I was just asking what you mean

feral breach
#

It is useful no matter what, but if you got used to not using it, whatever

rose matrix
#

Never had to do both

sacred zodiac
#

can you seriously not come up with a scenario where you need to change your camera to avoid something while also needing to kick something reactively

feral breach
#

He means you press down your mouse for the camera and cant target your kick at the same time

#

Due to pressing down

rose matrix
#

I honestly have not really ran into that issue which is why I didn't understand him

tacit nacelle
#

There are situations

uncut lagoon
#

or that's how it should work, it just doesnt at times since TWW S1 because blizzard coding

feral breach
#

It does not work when kick is on cd

#

Which is annoying

rose matrix
#

Wasn't trying to be obtuse

#

But most of the groups I get in everyone has a marker for their kick or you can just use a mouseover focus

untold pewter
#

I've always used tab unless I need focus/boss frame specific things

No issues with it other than sometimes it'll not pick the caster (like when your kick is on cd)

But that's a knowledge check not a problem with the function necessarily

uncut lagoon
rose matrix
#

I just use focus kick most of the time and if I need to swap I can just swap it with a mouseover macro rq

#

Can usually do it preemptively

#

I did see a macro that tab targets, kicks, then returns to your previous target

untold pewter
#

Yeah but that's not necessarily optimal or the best thing to do every time either

There are situations and situations

I think learning to use all options for all situations is better than outright excluding them

feral breach
#

That macro is cursed

rose matrix
#

Is it really? Never used it

#

The one I saw focused your focus first if you had one but would do the rest if you didn't

#

I didn't use it because it did seem like it would be a bit much

untold pewter
#

That macro works

#

You just gotta be in range

#

It's no big deal

rose matrix
#

It not picking the caster if your kick is on cd sounds pretty terrible

feral breach
#

Ye annoying for stops

If you got more haste than crit, how much damage are you losing by using lights potential instead of reckless pot?

dim basalt
#

Because you want reckless to proc crit

tight basin
#

Yeah, what i mean is how much worse is lghts potentianl generally than reckless

dim basalt
#

Not much

#

Heavily depends on your stats

For me its only a diff of like 800 dps

(with vantus enabled in sim)

is this right too or cap?

dim basalt
#

You hold demo in st until you have cs
you just cast demo on cooldown in aoe, can keep it for cs if the cd of cs is less than 8-ish seconds

You can pretty well just rip demo on cd in aoe yea

Only worth if you don't mind the suffering that comes with it

i assume i should time it with every Avatar no? though it does feel pretty poopoo to use, specially in keys

#

i'm just surprised how high it sims compared to other trinkets

latent moss

it just gives an absurd amount of stats and arms has dynamic cds

Real answer is just get the raid trinkets. Both bis raid trinkets are on easy bosses to pug on mythic

#

Should I be looking to swap to defensive stance on targeted spells from elites/bosses in M+?

safe vigil
#

you'll never deplete a key to using d-stance too much, but you'll deplete many keys to not using it enough

leaden trench
#

makes sense. thanks

safe vigil
#

If you see it's giga fine, then next time you know you won't need d-stance for it

balmy kindle
#

the higher you go the more you depend on D stance okayge

#

not dying is better than losing some damage

leaden trench
#

I'm a tank main so I don't care too much about losing a bit of damage its just that I don't know when a healer cd is sufficient to survive a mechanic or when I should be exchanging defensives w/ specific mechanics.

balmy kindle
#

on the higher keys i personally just use D stance when theres incoming unavoidable damage, not worth limit testing and bricking the key

leaden garnet

You can basically welfare your way to 290 ivl

#

how do you guys handle regular spellcasters in higher keys?

#

when stuff like arcane bolts starts oneshotting people

#

kick rota on every mob ?

#

tried MT 20 all our deaths were just from regular casts going through

#

everyone holding kicks for stuff like poly or terror wave

#

but the regular spells + if u have a mechanic on you = insta death

limpid patrol
#

how long do you hold CS if demo is on cd? Or do oyu just send and hope the CDR got you (for both st and aoe)

slow saddle
#

U never hold cs

#

These are the rules

leaden garnet
#

Stall bolts until the mechanic is resolved

slow saddle
#

Yeah, and sometimes u die if u bad

#

If u miss an interrupt u die in a cuttin edge key

leaden garnet
#

You have to realise that m+ isn't balanced to be clearable at such high levels. Blizzard didn't balance this stuff to be reasonable at +350% damage output

slow saddle
#

I mean higher keys, the job is to not let cast through

#

U got so many stops these days

leaden garnet
#

And if a cast has to go through, tank it with personal cooldowns and make sure it doesn't overlap with anything else

#

If you're doing +20 or above you should be able to co-ordinate that

candid garden
#

i pug

#

so its rough

#

many times 2 or even 3 people kick the same thing and after that its just someones dies xd

I always hold my sb for oh shit momenta

I always hold my kick

Sometimes i have 7. Kicks entire dungeons

Or co-ordinate kick markers

But the 7 when no1 else have kick up

#

Same with stops hold em

calm glen

why should I cast ravager before avatar in AoE?

because else u waste a second of avatar to ravager cast/gcd

If they banned Elvui, Iโ€™d finally quit for good.

ripe field

I am a TellMeWhen shill. Ive replaced probably half a dozen add-ons with TMW at a fraction of the CPU usage. ElvUI, BetterCDM and BetterBars were using an average of 6% CPU. Replaced all with TMW - tadaa max avg 2%

rancid willow
#

I get good fps with Elvui so cpu usage is no problem

frank willow
#

Anyone else feel like low rolling sudden death procs on slayer is so frequent that the spec feels like shit

nova marsh
#

I think elvui looks gross

frank willow
#

Glad I'm not the only one, feels absolutely garbage

minor gust
#

theres some degenerate RNG with slayer right now. You either hate it or dont mind it

#

just how it is right now

#

hopefully gets adjusted in the future

frank willow
#

It's ironic too because you were spammed with sudden death procs as slayer fury in 11.2

#

couldn't even get through them you'd just send for CDR or if you didn't get a raging blow refund

#

I regularly go 30 seconds without an execute proc

#

then ill get 4 in 5 globals

nova marsh
#

I am unfortunately on the hate it side

#

Slayer feels like outlaw gamba on steroids sometimes

minor gust
frank willow
#

It's actually the most unfun garbage, especially when col is so smooth and predictable and under your control

nova marsh
#

Well

#

Not fully on colo

frank willow
#

Feels as garbage as AR havoc at the moment, you can proc 10 souls in 6 globals or literally go 30 full seconds without proccing a single soul and lose glaives despite full uptime during those 30 seconds

nova marsh
#

But yes crit rng is easier to swallow then just "oh you didnt get procs lmao get fucked

minor gust
#

me when my things dont crit on colo

frank willow
#

Outside of battlelord low rolls Col is pretty low variance

minor gust
#

yeah for the most part its just crit rng.

#

Slayer is omega casino right now no denying that

frank willow
#

They need to stop with random proccing garbage being how your spec performs. More shit that is under my control, less sitting here praying the game lets me play

nova marsh
#

And with crit rng we can kinda stack the deck in our favor

minor gust
#

its more of the layers of RNG slayer theres too much. Slayers strikes, SD, Reap. It all works together too which is why you can see these super highs and lows

frank willow
#

insanely boring

nova marsh
#

Sometimes I wonder if the reason blizz wanted to remove sd reap was to reduce the rng

#

At least for aoe (not that that was a good idea anyways lmao

minor gust
#

im hoping they remove BS CDR and add BS back to AM, and increase reap proc chance from cleave.

nova marsh
#

Im on board with that

minor gust
#

that would hopefully be enough to tone it down

frank willow
#

Its very simple. You tune reap to something that can consistently proc off of cleave, and then tuen the damage to basically just make it a buff to cleave damage. Then add reap to execute from sudden deaths, but again tune both so that the damage isn't out of control and the influx of sudden deaths is smoother, or more under your control

modest marlin

I mean they could just do the rogue route and make everything work the same in aoe lol

#

I still can't get over that their fix for Sin and Sub aoe was to give them blade flurry basically

#

At least in TWW

#

They could buff single target but they'd probably have to nerf sweeping strikes and meat cleaver

rancid willow
#

Prob a shit idea but maybe just have a talent that does more damage to primary target?

#

I dunno.

ionic mica
#

we just need one of the many talents other specs have to let X aoe button do big dam, reduced by 5% per target hit down to a certain point

#

on demolish

#

and make MS/OP better in ST/clean up SD rng somehow

#

colo would probably be fine with just the demo change

modest marlin
#

Its not a new concept when your aoe is just you doing your single target but it cleaves but it frequently causes problems.

ionic mica
#

its fine if they use the tuning knobs they have, they regularly buff outlaw st and reduce blade flurry, and very often fiddle with SP psychic link

#

if they think our 2t is too good they can just make sweep a lower %

#

demo being ass in ST is the main issue really, and is fixed by using the same ideas they have already used on many other specs

Voidclaw will be BiS for slayer ST

They won't be BiS for m+

only worth using if your weapon enchant proc will make your haste higher than crit but ideally you should try to prevent that from happening

if u go watch biz - crit and those guys their mobs are so freaking stacked that they dont even have to move ๐Ÿ˜„

Knockback stuff yeah since it roots you, but Demo alone isn't enough to live through big hits

i read it as 10% per stack xD

up to 10%

ty for clarifying though

no worries, makes sense. Blizzard isn't known for clean descriptions ๐Ÿ˜‚

you also take less damage during demolish

it wont save you from a nuclear bomb though

yeah that's what they're asking about

which now that i think about it

also is it normal to feel like a wet noodle during boss fights as colossus

Slayer in M+ never uses cleave on 1-2 targets, right?

dire hinge

no build uses Cleave on 1 target
however, both use it on 2 target IF you also have 3 stacks of collateral damage (it's higher priority than Overpower, but less than HS/MS/Exe)

for colossus you also want ravager goin, but slayer it's just 2 target + 3x collat

I argued shaman would give 8-15% more overall

He argues aug (that knows how to play) gives more

huh

shaman only affects autos right

#

not ur abilities

its barely anything

In sims its roughly 10%

And i dont understand or know much about aug

just dont have em in grp

#

Gives crit and str and more leaps keks

Bigger burst = better for aug

#

so thats why it works with dev + uh more than war

bold anchor
#

I just wonder roughly how much it is vs blueman

slim plaza
#

i dont rly get it though

#

aug does like 0 dps on its own

bold anchor
#

It also feels aug has to know what hes doing

slim plaza
#

shouldnt it be MUCH ebtter than a simpel raid buff

bold anchor
#

Aug is the bard of wow

slim plaza
#

yeh

#

are u referring to lost ark

bold anchor
#

If the aug boosts three ppl more in total (plus his own low dmg), than another dps

#

No was thinking like lineage or w/e had barsa

#

Bards

#

ohh

#

well yea anyways i get what u mean

but yea i never realized windfury was that big

fuck playing without a shaman wtf
