Colo would even go Cleave

copper fox
#

I actually just 6-0 my first rsham lobby ever and I’m pissed

#

frank knoll
#

Make every crate after the first one give you like 10 conquest or some shit for no reason
I wouldn’t put it past them

copper fox
#

Forged is such a cool title

#

That I don’t have

#

They owe us a banger after this prized shit

sharp meteor
#

I thought forged was neato for plate.

#

Idk what prized is.

#

Need some crusader larp title for s3 if arathi or ethereal if brokers or w/e

I heard we're switching to bleed build for arms? Fake news?

I'll try it and see. Btw I had a mental breakdown and racechanged from gnome to void elf because I couldn't stand being a midget for another second

urban skiff
#

velf is nice

#

nice box spread for my hunter

thick reef

lucky pulls

#

Being a skinny elf is so much better than a dumpy gnome oml

urban skiff
#

agreed

#

if velf teleport still had verticality I'd play it more tbh

thick reef
#

I think the issue is that it's a damn 3 minute CD

#

gnome is 1

urban skiff

green wharf
urban skiff
#

is it a big dam power or just buffs something else that actually deals damage?

#

Almost gave 2.5 conq on sham and I’ll start grinding

Spammed ss as resto

Accidentally did well first 2 games so mmr was higher than I wanted so it’s taking longer to get conq

You know when you hit the goal and I have to deliver, you'll have about a thousand questions on how to set up all those addons to display the stuff right, right?

isn't that just the eiffel tower?

#

what makes it reversed? Handstand? Buttstuff?

lost juniper
#

my second warrior that i use for blitz is fucking stuck in elo hell, every single game i play with bots not real people im sure ofit

urban skiff
#

if there's bots on your team, there's bots on their team

lost juniper
#

the common denominator is me

#

guess im the biggest bot

#

gotta throw on some mobb deep and zug zug harder

cosmic field
#

if you AB/Gilneas you can carry pretty easy just mount up and cap bases. ppl at low rating dont even know how the timers work on ab

urban skiff

Be the bot you want to fight

lost juniper
#

i be getting into ctf all the time and my whole team be sittin on our FC and im alone at EFC

urban skiff
#

@copper fox my list of alts is getting ever longer

cosmic field
#

yh i dont really like blitz on my warrior as it just feels rng on teams around 2k rating. maybe gets better higher but its just not competitive

#

chill on my rogue though

lost juniper
#

might try to do blitz on my rogue ive neglected for too long

urban skiff
#

2 war, 3 enh, sub, survival, feral, hpal, mw

lost juniper
#

cosmic field
#

i mean it should be fine but participation over 2400 took a hit

#

in shuffle

boreal veldt
cosmic field
#

but some ppl reroll on patch notes lol

lost juniper
#

maybe i should hop on my ally arms instead of tilting over blitz

urban skiff
cosmic field
#

is dk actually good after buffs?

lost juniper
#

ended up in gilneas, tried to carry capped 4 times but holy shit the team rotate so god damn slow we lost

urban skiff

which is good

#

it got rid of all the noobs

urban skiff
#

I've been hit by 5.5m so 15% will only take around 1m off

fierce elm
#

15% of 5.5m is 3m

urban skiff
haughty jewel
#

adderal is an amphetamine

urban skiff
#

it's a mix, right?

haughty jewel
#

depends on which one u get

#

but ya its an amphetamine

#

i beleive all of it is amphetamine

spice hornet
#

Yeah adderall is just. A brand

#

I don’t know anyone who gets actual adderall brand. All my friends get some generic amphetamine salts. I have not seen an adderall since like 2010

haughty jewel
#

dextroamphetamine is the good one

#

adderal mixes d and l amphetamines

#

if u get just d its mainly only mental side effects and low physical

#

so ur grindset becomes insane

spice hornet
#

No wonder the adderall hit diff then the salts

#

I have not had it in a long time

urban skiff
#

was going to say the same thing

haughty jewel
#

L Amphetamine literally just jacks up your heartrate and gives you anxiety

#

its dumb and pointles

#

but iguess for some lazy asses it helps them getu p and feel more alive or something

urban skiff
#

which one is elvanse?

haughty jewel
#

d amphetamine

urban skiff
#

and is that dumb or good?

haughty jewel
#

thats the good one

#

it takes away the clean your whole house vibes

#

and makes it so youre more locked in mentally

#

good for computer work

#

or gaming

#

l amphetamine is good for cleaning your whole house or even lifting

urban skiff
#

It's funky but i swear it's like I both feel stronger when lifiting but also less motivated

#

it's like elvanse broke whatever in my brain felt good about lifting

i just want to know how many crates left but I'm not going to tell it that

lost juniper
fierce elm
#

Well there is no cap

#

so thats an issue

urban skiff
#

it's what it takes to buy a full set

fierce elm
#

128.33

#

for full cap

urban skiff
#

well it's less, since you need at least one win in instanced content to get your heraldry quest

fierce elm
#

102.08

#

with no neck+rings

urban skiff
#

no

#

7700 is with the neck+ring removed

#

and weapons

fierce elm
#

so 128.33

urban skiff
#

yes

fierce elm
#

then one win in a BG is what

#

40 conq?

#

50?

urban skiff
#

125 epic bg

fierce elm
#

Yeah

#

so minus two crates

urban skiff
#

375 if you REALLY win ashran

fierce elm
#

so 126.33

#

crates

urban skiff
#

epic bg wins guarantee heraldries

fierce elm
#
  • an epic bg win
urban skiff
#

but I did all this math already

#

I just want a weakaura that tells me how many more crates i need

fierce elm
#

I would prefer to not see that number ngl lmfao

urban skiff
#

I'm down to 22 crates

fierce elm
#

idk how you do it

#

Also

#

it can become way less

#

or way more

#

: )

urban skiff
#

my current crate group has been mine since like 10 this morning

fierce elm
#

If you just GAMBLE it

urban skiff
#

I gambled on my hunter

fierce elm
#

Especially on an alt that has no gear

#

ez pz

urban skiff
#

I got 4 pieces + weapon

#

tier pieces*

#

went from like 7700 to cap to less than 4k

#

actually i got two weapons, both ranged and polearm

#

or staff or w/e

copper fox
#

I’ve just been buying full honor then qing ss / bgb

#

And placement 2s

#

Instant gear

#

Way faster than crates

urban skiff

it's about putting in more work to avoid less work

If you don't make it your entire identity, do you really have it?

What are the most important stats for Slayer Fury Warrior?

can't spell farm without arm(s)

i was playing skirmishes with a prot pali before, all the top ones on murlok are his. im sure he's the only prot pala

like to get 2600 rating you need to better than 10 other ppl or some shit

maybe prot is the play...

why is that dangerous?

Heart attack?

urban skiff
#

isn't heart attacks caused by the heart itself not getting enough blood?

Pretty sure my psychiatrist would have mentioned not to train while taking amphetamines. He cared a lot that I'm a bulky man but drilled into me not to drink soda or anything with vitamin-C an hour before and after taking the pills

Amphetamines in some people also have a tendency to lead to anxiety, it could just be anxiety while your working out. the body is complicated but you should really check it out, i've lost my breath due to anxiety on elvanse

urban skiff

I mean I get wellness checks yearly and EKGs too

But not while working out

lost juniper

a normal EKG wont show anything if it happens while you work out

need to pedal like crazy on a bike in the hospital for 30minutes during ekg to be sure its nothing harmful (which it most of the time isnt) but with the heart you shouldnt take chances

All of the info you have to instantaneously process and react too
On top of that you’re playing good players

lost juniper

yeah i would and i dont even like uppers

#

cancels ur next queued ability

lost juniper
#

ahh

#

ive noticed it

sharp meteor
#

which is why sometimes mashing feels unrespknsive

#

if ur high haste or w/e

lost juniper
#

gonna try mash a little less next time i do ss

sharp meteor
#

i use bolt as example because if you have a queued ability itll sometimes go off first and you'll be like aaaa i was in global

#

but you kind of werent you just had another abilty already set to cast

#

its not like giga huge but def a subtle thing

lost juniper
#

this will most likely be healthy for my wrist

sharp meteor
#

but its why theres minimal or no gap between abilities without extreme spam

#

ya

lost juniper
#

nice man i appreciate this info haha

sharp meteor
#

prior to mop or whenever they added it you had to actually giga spam

#

and you could get like

#

5-10%+ more casts

#

so you'd just passively crush people

#

with more casts

#

idr the script that shows your threshold but some people i recall had theirs set to 400

#

so you'd actually nerf your dmg

#

inversely a lot of people learned of this and turned their window to 0

#

which meant unless ur a literal bot it will be a dps loss

#

cos no qing

#

anyways peepostudy

#

keep your wrists and tendons safe friends

lost juniper
#

definetly something i should have been atleast noticing enough to start google if there was a queue lol

#

but this is great since i have some issues with my wrist

sharp meteor
#

last seas my hands kind of hurt and i ended up playing like 8% haste fury with powerful enrage

#

which ended up actually feelin great cos every global was like 25% of a dudes health

lost juniper
#

im gonna log on in 20min and try it on a training dummy and check it out

sharp meteor
#

sometimes just gotta slow down

urban skiff
#

but might just be my head is literally as laggy as the game

#

I mean I win arenas but I can't explain how or why

sharp meteor
#

erm not sure i just know i start to have issues in lust with like 40% base haste on fury if i dont play powerful

urban skiff
#

I'm pretty sure the one game where the arms went sudoku the enemy team could visually see how stunned I was over getting a kill

#

so you have enhanced pp

urban skiff
#

There's no explanation for wins

#

What's the opposite of enhanced?

#

I have a modified pp

lost juniper
#

disenhanced? hahaha

#

my english is way to bad to know

#

i have not met many enh that crush though

urban skiff
#

I mean i win because of pure luck and being carried by my wife

lost juniper
#

what is wife for if not for carrying their husband ❤️

urban skiff
#

this is my current favorite kill at 2k mmr

lost juniper
#

i guess we need to nerf another 15% to arms execute , can see he almost beat u

urban skiff
#

He beat me on damage and be even stole my kill

lost juniper
#

is enh alot of apm? its the only melee i didnt check out

urban skiff
#

no clue

#

I have this weakaura but I don't ever look at it when the info i would want is there

sharp meteor
#

its useles

urban skiff
#

But I can say this, I can hit the GCD cap if there's a pet team

sharp meteor
#

means nothing

lost juniper
#

enh is kinda supportish so maybe it will suit me

sharp meteor
#

me on prot

urban skiff
#

I think apm alone isn't the big deal, it's whether the next action is predictable or depends on the result of your current action

#

And in that regard, enh is a bit of a nightmare but not really thanks to some talents

#

Like I can get MSW refund on a lightning bolt / tempest which naturally means I'd want to cast another one, but after doing a lightning bolt I generally queue up a stormstrike. Usually that's bad, but at least in pve the advice is to still do a stormstrike even if MSW capped if you got the MSWcap from refund

#

Idk, it's a lot of words and I don't read

lost juniper
#

ive been a bit skeptical due to juggling with totems alone

urban skiff
#

I don't really use my totems

lost juniper
#

but i dont have a wife to carry me

urban skiff
#

we just use PI with bloodlust

#

And then we're back to "I'm being stupid but I'm stupid really fast"

lost juniper
#

some insane burst though

#

haha

#

if i find time over i will gear my shaman

urban skiff
#

one of the rare kills where I've actually used cooldowns to kill

lost juniper
#

what rating is it?

urban skiff
#

still around 2k mmr in 2s

#

might be 1950 mmr

lost juniper
#

rarely use cds to kill seems like its a fun 2s combo u play

urban skiff
#

This is the match i linked

#

and the top one is the one that got her to 1950 CR, which is 1) better than I've ever achieved in 2v2 and also her best ever

lost juniper
#

you should feel lucky man, im a bit jealous

urban skiff
#

this is a match where my ascendance ended below the red line

#

enh is super fun, and that's all i care about

maybe he just really badly wanted to cast starfire?

No cheese

theme builds like me? or just builds in general?

I do like thematic things more in general

#

None of that 10 bard 1 pala yada yada 1 shot shit

urban skiff
#

How do you feel about the trick to get a permanent shadowblade?

sand sundial
#

Nah

#

I won't do the astral sword/Raphael either

urban skiff
#

You can still do this build without, you'll just have to do specific shit to get arabella's ring and then be stuck with the ring

Full send Way of the Shadow, shadowblade mainhand, plus the thingy that gives psychic damage vuln

# sand sundial Nah

if that doesn't tickle your fancy, how about trying out the classic 3e prestige class: blackguard

urban skiff

it doesn't sound like it'll work but it does

sand sundial
#

I tried this items mod, forgot it's name but it's front page on mods you should check it out

#

Adds bunch of decent loot to the game for you to find

urban skiff
#

still playing modless until i have all achievements

sand sundial
#

For all types of builds

urban skiff
#

my next restriction will be to mimic attunement

#

max equip 3 blue+ items with names

#

everything else has to be mundane or unnamed

sand sundial
#

Interesting idea lol

urban skiff
#

But if you want ranger, you should do a beast master ranger with heavy armor, crossbow expert, sharpshooter, who walks into battle next to his pets and just shoots people point blank

#

I have no idea if it works but it sounds fun

sand sundial
#

I wanna do something based off Aragon if I do ranger

#

Melee ranger

#

Not optimal at all probably lest I run some gimmick sword

urban skiff
#

stranger is kind of cool

#

if you can access shillelagh somehow you'll be the belle of the ball dualwielding torches for a long time

#

You can do astarion origin as a vampire build

#

Spore druid astarion, pick only spells that match vampire abilities. Almost everything spore druid gets for free or can access via druid makes sense from a vampire point of view:

Can turn into a mist, can turn into wolves, can read minds, raise the dead, can summon a fog, can charm and command beasts, curse contagion confusion

#

enhanced body: Jumping, running, literally enhanced ability
Conjure elemental is strong but requires strong flavour: You raise the soil from a grave

god I fucking hate that they changed it

and now I don't know which is which

but that is correct

1950 is such an ugly reward rating

green wharf

it should be something for each hundread, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 and so on

#

but then you get 1950 then 2100 and only something at 2.4

verbal tangle

yeah its tabard at 2.4k as well as competing for top 0.1% in bracket titles

#

They needed to make that reward more free than it was with blitz existing

sharp meteor
#

wonder if blitz mmr gets nuked next seas

#

figured for sure it'd go this season

#

first game on warr was 2900 or som

urban skiff
#

it's 50/50

urban skiff
#

what's the reason so many sub rogues are using conq pieces for tier slots instead of crafted? Are they getting a bit more vers or is it just prep in case 4set gets necessary?

urban skiff
#

welp, a bit of stat DR is fine

urban skiff
sharp meteor
#

i mean that prob is the usual

#

new raid set new pvp sets new glad drake new vicious mount more elite sets etc

urban skiff
#

would be pretty cool if they updated pvp and pve ratings to be equivalent in skill level according to ladder position somehow.

#

I hope we get a renown track for pvp rewards, and stop ratings entirely from being a thing and instead award people a position on the ladder and put them in different leagues based on that position

#

how fast one unlocks renown track depends on what level on the ladder you're playing on, whether it's elite or rival2 or w/e

#

Next opportunity for them to mess with the rewards/ratings system is in like 8-12 years if they don't take the opportunity now

jovial torrent
#

it would probably be way healthier for the game if it was a renown track, with higher rating speeding up the track a little, then just have % based titles

cosmic field
#

that and a solo queue option for 3s that just puts you with a group

jovial torrent
#

add a repeating reward at the end of the track which is a old elite set token to let you buy 1 old set

sharp meteor
#

all casual pvpers have to grind is conq gear lol

jovial torrent
#

i was thinking how blizz could f it up but it could actually be good

#

i was thinking that +3 ilvl per track would be bad

#

but would it actually be worse than current gearing if there were 2 colours of the pvp set on the track, and increasing the track gave +3 ilvl

#

would be a bit of a mess mid season tho since alot of ppl farm conquest for ilvl outside of pvp through crates and daily/weekly rewards

sharp meteor
#

Ilev is all people want ya

urban skiff
fierce elm
urban skiff
#

So how much better is mastery than vers? Because i DR10% the mastery but it's only 130ish rating i'm losing.

If that's still fine then going crafted would give more damage per point

#

Except this is damage buckets all over again, so vers and mastery needs balance to maximize the buckets

fierce elm
#

its the same with assa

fickle forge
#

I would like for blitz to get nuked next season

fickle forge
#

I dislike seeing people have fun

urban skiff

I too had a grumpy man phase when i was 19

urban skiff
fickle forge

I baited our healer in by claiming Artji had glad xp when it was his first season

Now he heals us every day

urban skiff

He's also routinely getting banned so who lured who in? 🥴

fierce elm

Use someone else's account as your xp note

#

"ALT ACCOUNT"

copper fox
#

Woke up 2 spots higher on the ladder without even having to q. We love that

fickle forge
#

That only happens when he plays shuffle

#

And after healing shuffles, I completely get why tbh

#

I rage quit a lobby yesterday cause I'd have gouged my eyes out otherwise

cosmic field
#

everyone i play with has sinful glad mount, was that easy af to get or some shit?

fickle forge
#

For the first half of the season it was

#

For the second half, nope

cosmic field
#

mmr got deflated?

fickle forge
#

They nerfed it mid-season yeah

#

It's why it's called the sitful gladiator rank 1 title

#

Everyone in range after the MMR nerf just sat the rest of the season and got rank 1

cosmic field
#

ahaha glad I got that lore

fierce elm
#

It's the equivalent of getting 2.4+ in blitz rn

fickle forge
fierce elm
#

no

#

I am claiming both

green wharf
#

another reason why shadowlands was shit

fickle forge
#

The first half of sinful was pretty inflated true true

urban skiff

Everything is righty tighty then suddenly it turned into righty loosey and shit went downhill fast

Ye what’s better super inflated ssn with high participation. Or deflated ssn with dead 3s?

fickle forge

Now hear me out

So it doesn't matter

#

Give glad at 1600 if that's T0.5%

fierce elm
#

Now hear me out

#

delete 3s

#

give glad mount to blitz and SS

#

finally kill off pvp

#

or rather 3s

I dont care as far as I don’t have to sit in lfg looking for ppl for 2h

As far as I don’t have to face same 3teams above 2k mmr each evening

fickle forge

Wish we still had luduslab so we could see ladder distribution

urban skiff
hot solstice
#

In general

urban skiff
#

you learn most by playing the most deflated bracket, you'll get to play against better opponents and have more learning opportunities

fickle forge
#

That's not really true though

#

Deflating just affects your mmr

#

Doesn't matter if you Q into Whaazz on 2.4k or 3.2k

urban skiff
#

deflation would reduce the difference between you and better players

#

if you're not literally on their level, you'll have a shorter distance to them and an easier time playing with them

green wharf
#

give glad to anyone who plays 500 rounds of solo shuffle or 100 blitz games, regardless of rating

#

pvp = saved

fierce elm
#

just kill the gamemode

balmy reef
#

Hey quick question : are the stats priority the same between protection and arms warrior ? I grinded a (almost) full pvp set for my prot warrior, and was wondering if I could make the switch to arms by only bying the corresponding weapon ?

fickle forge
#

Inflation mostly stems from when low mmr people Q up

green wharf
#

everyone would play pvp if it was like that

fickle forge
#

Top end ladder remains mostly the same

#

You inflate the ladder every time you make a new enh sham to Q on 1.8k basically

urban skiff
#

BUT

#

the only situation where inflation/deflation doesn't matter is situations where the gains/losses from games and the match making system also inflates deflates at the same rate.

#

Since that isn't the case, deflation = you get to play much better and much worse players. -> skill spread in the people you play against will be wider.

#

If matchmaking is changed so it finds the 50 closest players then inflation and deflation stops mattering

fickle forge
#

But it's literally just an offset for glad+ xp people

#

They'll be Q'ing into multi glad/R1 teams whether the ladder is deflated to 2.1k or inflated to 3.6k

urban skiff
#

Taking my math teacher's advice, whenever facing a question, to predict the likely answers take the biggest possible extremes of variables and see what happens.

Assumptions: The game looks for players within a fixed rating range, MMR within ~100

In this case
In the magic world of stupid deflation: Nobody can climb above 1000 MMR: You will play literally anybody on the ladder with more than 10 wins. Be that pikaboo or that guildmate of yours who never touched pvp in their life and he plays using only castsequence macros.
= Huge spread. Very fast queues, because anyone is a potential match.

In the magic world of stupid inflation: The highest end of the ladder is 1000000 MMR. You will wait in queue forever. You will only get to play people who has the exact same number of wins and losses as you do, to end up at the exact same MMR as you.
= very low skill spread. Very slow queues, because very specific requirements by the matchmaker algorithm that are hard to fulfill.

fickle forge
#

But that is also what 3s is like

#

It doesn't pick people with 100 mmr from you

urban skiff
#

which one?

cosmic field
fickle forge
#

It takes your team average, and literally pairs with another team who's within like 30 mmr

#

So you can face the same team back to back after you yank their MMR

cosmic field
#

i know mmr is tied to participation, but the range can be shifted by blizz clearly

urban skiff
urban skiff
fickle forge
#

Unless you're Whaazz

#

You gotta be R1 range at 2 AM for the matchmaker to expand down to glad range etc.

#

For the most part when Afro and I Q, we'll face a team, and then we'll maybe face that team again if we lose the next one and they won their previous one

#

Else it's new teams

urban skiff
#

But my observation on expected behavior from inflation/deflation still seems correct to me. It just means we aren't as deflated as worst case scenario The truth is somewhere in between those extremes

fickle forge
#

That's cool though, but we should be realistic as well

#

Your extremes mostly are 2.6k cutoff and 3.5k cutoff for R1

#

We never see dips below or above those

urban skiff
#

As jwise pointed out, there's more to in/deflation than just in/deflation. it's most likely that inflation / deflation is directly controlled by participation.

Which goes back to how a competitive game running on the ELO system is basically a pyramid. The wider the base, the higher above ground level you'll find the peak.

#

Altering the formula would change how steep the pyramid sides incline.
Blizzard manually messing with mmr injections is raising or lowering the foundation

fierce elm
#

100 rating cutoff for r1

urban skiff
#

If I had more time/interest and proper data I could probably figure out a way to calculate seasonal participation based entirely around R1 cutoff

#

Would be an interesting project

#

kind of a shame there's no R1 titles from 2v2

#

I'm rank22 enh without even trying

fierce elm
#

yeah that wouldn't be enough for a r1 title in 2v2

#

because its not spec based

urban skiff
#

Would participation go up if there were spec-specific R1 titles?

fierce elm
#

prbably not

urban skiff
#

only 225 rating between me and topdog

#

That's, what? 16 more wins than losses?

#

I'm rank 6912 total and 1427 is the top enh.

There's something really interesting going on with this dynamic

copper fox
#

WW monk is better than both warrior specs

urban skiff
#

MW monk is superior to WW though

#

@elfin surge said MW monk is the best when playing with a top tier dps like enhancement

copper fox

elfin surge

Yes he definitely said that enhancement is the best dps in 2s and that mw can only be good in that scenario

What race is the best for MW in 2s if the goal is to hyper-specialize entirely around 2s and nothing else matters as much as best performance 2s?

Undead or Nelf

#

probs undead

urban skiff

I can see that on murlokio but I have no understanding of why

so what ilvl hit

haven’t done any pvp so i assume id be starting out with crap gear

I left that lobby

fierce elm

but it also depends on current gear

and what you are going to play

You don't need to replace a 684 weapon or tier sets basically

but you need the honor trinkets at minimm

Just stack up on honor gear and take the grind from there

hmm i wanna try some pvp out, whats the best way to farm those conquest if i have 0 pvp gear

fierce elm

War crate farming

#

Mindnumbingly boring though

whats that

fierce elm
#

You join a group, fly to war crates that are announced in the raid chat

loot the crate

#

repeat

distant wharf

fast conquest?

#

how fast until i get full conquest gear? 😛

rancid granite
#

ehhh

urban skiff
#

This is so fucking cool

#

Guys, mistweaver can autoattack enemies while having target on a friendly

rancid granite
#

do the weeklies and look for world quests for bloody token gear first

then crate farm a bit.... honestly q up solo shuffle mid way

#

or what I did was do bloody token gear then just crate farm til you get your conq weapon achievement

#

then good to go

#

and just normal pvp til you fill in the rest

urban skiff
#

win ashran by killing boss and you get 250 + 125 for one game

#

go queue up a brawl to get the quest for that too

copper fox
#

Fastest conq is buying honor gear and doing 10 wins in 2s then pressing q for bgb… win or loss gets you heraldries then you can Q anything you’ll be around 677/679

distant wharf
#

yeah, wanna skip shitty anoying farms :p

#

probly buy full honor and go bgb

copper fox
#

Yea so just do what I said it’s the fastest

#

Yee

distant wharf
#

skip bloody tokens? not a big gear diff right?

copper fox
#

Do the dorn token quest while you’re in Q

fierce elm
#

Yeah

copper fox
#

It’ll come passively anyway

#

I don’t do more than 1 token quest tho per char

And the dorn one this week is fast af

#

There’s dirt everywhere

full pve 😛

full honor

#

buy conq gear

#

can do some Bloody token stuff if you want to

otherwise just keep grinding conq gear

distant wharf
#

they are raging xD

copper fox
#

Well I wouldn’t pvp without at least honor gear lol you’re throwing hard

#

Takes no time to get honor

i notice i have 15k honor
