#

lots of feral druids of both covenants too

#

but maybe 1 in every 5 or 6 matches has a warrior

gritty salmon
#

Thats its biggest issue

#

The dps it does is decent, it just has horrible surivability compared to arms

lucid walrus
#

the vast majority of my games have more hunters than warriors

#

casters more common too

dry trail
#

i just hit duelist

#

i don't get 252 conduits ?

sharp meteor
#

Nope, they cap at 239 from the vendor.

#

Couple hours of rift farming with a group and you'll be stacked, though.

dry trail
#

ye need like 2k more rep for tier 6 archivist

#

i have to hurry before reset and get honour almost upgrades everything to duelist

#

some pieces missing tho

fierce elm
#

Just win a game next reset

wet scarab
#

do you guys have suggestions for talent options against hunters? do you have any particular strats? I feel like in 2s the uptime is such that it's only really worth training the healer in those games and hope to outdps the hunter. I've had some success on occasion when I've taken double time instead of stormbolt in terms of uptime, though it isn't that much better and makes it harder to set up goes

sharp meteor
#

i usually just play misshapen and pve the healer

#

wanted to try warbringer plus double time but doesn't feel great when u can't bolt the freedom

ember rose
#

I just play leaper vs bms cba lmao

thick reef
#

kyrian or necro for 2s/rbgs? 😄

wet scarab
#

Those new PvP trinkets are going to make spear fun again in 9.2

dry trail
#

i just got duelist with necro in 2s

#

and rbg still very decent

wicked magnet
#

still havent done necro myself but cant imagine it beats kyrian in rbgs

dry trail
#

i have full crit gear but need like 10% haste for necro to feel smooth

hasty fractal
#

Hey all, been Kyrian for a week now, and pretty fun. But I am using Pelagos, and I think I am making ZERO use of Newfound Resolve and the little sparks from Combat Meditation. Is there another suggestion for soulbind?

pastel garden
#

Forgelite.

#

Forgelite Mikanikos generally, Kleia for feral/assa rogues seems to be the idea.

hasty fractal
#

ok, doing RBGs right now, but I am doing arenas as well

pastel garden
#

Ye. Forgelite is the go to for those.

pale minnow
sharp meteor
#

i feel like i don't see many hunters in 3s

#

anecdotally couldn't find any ferals on my hunter in lfg

pale minnow
#

I see alot of rmps in 3s nowdays

#

Locks at higher rating will trinket your bolt and insta port if you are kyrian just sayin, heads up on not throwing spear until u are sure he will sit that bolt and of course not close to the portal

sharp meteor
#

yeah i noticed

#

tried having my sham sunder them

#

and they aren't as likely to trinket that

#

or i would just bolt and they'd trinket port

#

and i'd spear next bolt

#

then they'd gate

#

zz

pale minnow
#

We usually go for the priest

sharp meteor
#

yep started going shadow more

#

spear to bait fade

pale minnow
#

Pre silence in spear and get arsefucked

sharp meteor
#

been going enduring

pale minnow
#

Oh sorry forgot to mention silence comes from my sp

sharp meteor
#

i feel like good splay farms melee cleaves

#

oh yeah i wish my partner players shadow

pale minnow
#

Yeah i love warr+sp

sharp meteor
#

seems like a rly nice time especially with sps all going necro

#

just really durable

pale minnow
#

So much easier for me then clunky greedy paladins fatfingering bubble

sharp meteor
#

just setup my ret and it dies so easily

#

stupid long ass globals

#

more specs should have shit on the gcd namely defensives

pale minnow
#

Yeah annoying, i dropped my ret for a sp and immediatelly pushed 100 points in 30min xd

#

Really got rid of alot of headache

#

Yesterday i played 12 min game vs a frost mage + demolock + rdruid

#

Was insanely painful, but we won so they can suck it

sharp meteor
#

not looking forward to triangle comps popping up again

#

there's like a 3.2k frost/mm

pale minnow
#

That's a big rip

sharp meteor
#

wanna eat a 25k aimed shot or a 25k frost bolt

pale minnow
#

Or a spamming 5k rapid fire x10

#

Tru the wall as well

sharp meteor
#

idk if i like kyrian on mm

#

feels too all in

pale minnow
#

There are some sick chese comps some people play

sharp meteor
#

yeah stuff hasn't been fully explored

#

we only just got cov swaps so

#

suddenly more paladins can be like hey lets try necro ret

#

or nf prot

pale minnow
#

Frost dk + mm hunter ratge

sharp meteor
#

queued into fdk aff a month or two ago and it was rly annoying

#

dk wasn't using his stuff in response to our goes so thankfully we clapped him but if he did it would've been awful because zero chance we hit lock with limb and chains

pale minnow
#

Nf prot- disc and convoke balance , 0.2 sec magic trick

sharp meteor
#

yeah get vaporized

pale minnow
#

I mean he can even be invis and you just stay together and pray

#

Then he comes out with queen convoke da xd

#

2 of us died before we could've pressed anything

#

Was like some horror movie where we get dragged in by the monster in the darkness

sharp meteor
#

just another one of those things that'll pop up more now that people can swap

#

friend was wailing about capping an alt and queuing into 3x marksman

thick reef
#

queuing 2s on my alt and all you face is feral/dps, rogue/mage and balance/prot

elder wigeon
#

love it

thick reef
#

never lost against balance/prot but holy shit its the most painful comp ive ever played against

elder wigeon
#

prot anything is not fun

#

rdruid anything is not fun

warped warren
#

hecking druid abusers

elder wigeon
#

it's really not fun, especially ret rdruid

#

they just play like sissies until it hits higher dampening and you just lose from ret burst

warped warren
#

just

#

dont be bad lolw

dry trail
#

warrior prot also strong until like 2.2-2.3k

#

i got my duelist with prot

scarlet barn
nocturne radish
#

yeah warr + sp seems rly fun

#

might try that comp now that some of u guys were talking about it

sharp meteor
#

spriest is nice because it can get a lot of its stuff out without casting initially

#

instant dots, unfurling, goo ball that summons a skeletont hat does 2k dps

#

hey look 7k dps while floating around and not casting, also instant ranged cc on healer

thick reef
#

dont forget the enormous amount of peeling/self-peel

sharp meteor
#

yep

#

between disarm, duel, rally, fear, intervene, dispers, fade, embrace, fleshcraft, desp prayer then healer externals you just kind of live and pve people

wet scarab
#

I queued into a prot warrior for the first time last night ❤️

#

he was doing pretty good damage too, quite threatening, not a long dampening game

sharp meteor
#

hmm interesting it's one of the few specs i haven't seen

#

although i did see a few armories of warrs who had played it to glad range

#

95% of the time it's just somebody who played arms who swapped to tank keys or something

nocturne radish
#

yeah i qued into prot/enahnz once funny part was prot warrior outdpsed the enhanz

sharp meteor
#

poor enh

nocturne radish
#

fr haha

#

i might swap tho might try warr/sp and try to rotate defensives i like my ret but it sucks when we overlap rally and bubble or some other stuff

sharp meteor
#

i need to queue more retwarr

#

feel like the play is often to sit on holy power to heal self

#

or rather always have it banked instead of just sending your 3 hp on verdict asap

nocturne radish
#

yeah for sure

#

when do u intervene and fear for ret btw just curious

sharp meteor
#

fear usually to scuff a setup or go

#

intervene usually up around the same time but also sort of like

#

so like with turbo ill send bolt into spear on a target then my sham doom winds

#

second bolt is kind of flex and then third bolt has to align with spear and doom winds again

#

similar thing for intervene

#

use in response to cds, you'll usually be able to use it again sometime beefore they're up again, but make sure i t'll be up by the time their next go is up

nocturne radish
#

got it thanks so u mainly use fear/intervene to help fight against setups to protect ur ret right just making sure

sharp meteor
#

generally yeah we're just playing to live as we win most matchups on mana

nocturne radish
#

Gotcha thanks ill try that i sometimes intervene him at half hp or lower and fear when they pop a big cd

sharp meteor
#

we'll also just randomly send it offensively some matchups and kill somebody in 3 seconds

nocturne radish
#

yeah those games are fun haha

#

gotta love ur ret hitting 20k through wall with FV

sharp meteor
#

we queued turbo and then both of us melee decided hey i wanna play retwarr

#

so we both setup a ret and a warr

nocturne radish
#

lmao thats sick

sharp meteor
#

and have both been playing both sides ofi t

nocturne radish
#

ahhh

#

yea its a sick comp for sure

warped warren
#

ret warr peepoHappy

sharp meteor
#

we both understand why rets randomly flop now

#

it's like do i use wog here

#

down 80% in a sec ow dead

warped warren
#

send banner on ret go

#

weeeeeee

sharp meteor
#

yeah zug

nocturne radish
#

lmaooo

#

tru

warped warren
sharp meteor
#

matchup dicussion be like

nocturne radish
#

warripr pusshes ret wheelchair with banner

sharp meteor
#

uhh <spec>?

#

k

nocturne radish
#

around arena

#

lmaooo

sharp meteor
#

sending

#

vene

nocturne radish
#

yo self u also sb healer and hoj kt right

#

kill target

sharp meteor
#

generally yeah

#

ret doesn't have easy access to most healers unless they trollin so

#

i send bolt and while it's mid-air or as it's connecting ret hoj kill target

#

or hoj first if no dispell available, or i feared healer, or if my healer got cc on enemy healer

nocturne radish
#

got it thanks if ret is close tho he can hoj healer right

sharp meteor
#

yeah

nocturne radish
#

ahhh i see thanks

sharp meteor
#

like if you stacked and cleaving it up in the deathball then hoj is great on healer

thick reef
#

prot warr sounds fun, what do u play w it

#

cov etc

sharp meteor
#

not sure, i need to see their numbers

#

probably necro/kyrian

#

i wanna say they need a ms but maybe if they're durable enough they could play with something meme like aff

#

and just eat all the melee cleaves who can't reach the lock

warped warren
sharp meteor
#

i doubt prot is in any way better than arms

#

similar to brm which seems dece but, like, ww

warped warren
#

nop

fierce elm
#

Brewmaster can actually do something

#

Prot warr is just useless

nocturne radish
#

yea bm can stun and cc quite a bit

dry trail
#

do you guys play gladiator's emblem at all ?

#

i mean i don't play shackles or emblem just badge of ferocity

sharp meteor
#

idk haven't seen prot dam or the perma root recently but it seems like it might have potential

#

likely too small of a ball of stats after tank nerfs directed at pala and guardian tho heh

#

and emblem decent as another defensive yeah it lasts a long time

fierce elm
#

It doesnt lmao

#

Prot warr is so fucking useless

sharp meteor
#

probably not but that's all i heard in legion as well

wet scarab
#

the prot I played against was kyrian, guessing uses same spec for keys

#

I was playing around 1950 MMR

#

but yeah he did pretty decent dps, I think if he was necro or something he might have actually killed me

#

not because he did a ton of damage exactly, but because most healers don't know their abilities or cooldowns and can't play around them

sharp meteor
#

Might actually grab a 1h to try protection

#

at the point where the only thing I can buy is other weapons for the elite tint

wet scarab
#

yeah I bought the 1H and shield for the mog and to tank keys with them

sharp meteor
#

I don't know who I'm going to grief into queuing with this.

#

maybe like a ww and rsham

wet scarab
#

heh

#

wasn't there a vid a few months back of a necro prot doing like 45k damage or something in 3 seconds at the opener

sharp meteor
#

Possibly? I have seen very little prot content or play in general.

#

Again, probably suffers from the ball of stat issue where they just take too much damage for how little damage they'll do, but maybe not.

wet scarab
#

wasn't there something called turtle cleave back in the day

#

prot warrior hunter paladin

warped warren
#

yea but prot back then crit half of ppls hp

sharp meteor
#

yeah but that was kind of a different time

#

arp and icc 2pc bonus

thick reef
#

question is do you want to go for a shield slam build

#

or what

#

looking at shield bash that stuff could destroy casters

#

so many options, literally

warped warren
#

what

#

you have two options

#

spec arms

#

or go next

frail light
#

What is the burst rotation for arms on opener?

#

if u play necro 🙂

sharp meteor
#

Ideally you don't open hard

#

get slow up, get wounds up, build overpower stacks, fish for execute proc

#

then banner into bolt avatar into execute/ms

frail light
#

aha okay thanks!

dry trail
#

what do you think about my necro stats ? should i add more haste like 10% ?

sharp meteor
#

I am enjoying playing with a haste-heavy build on necro

#

at least in non-smurf matches

nocturne radish
#

yea i like haste too

#

esp with enduring

sharp meteor
#

Ye.

dry trail
#

i was venthyr so whole gear crit

#

i bought cloak with haste and made the leggo with haste so im not like 4%

#

i will try 10% +

frigid loom
#

8-9% is the sweet spot imo. Above that i feel you loose to much crit, and below it feels horrible

mortal marlin
#

is necro better than kyrian?

fierce elm
#

no

#

if ret/warr yes

sharp meteor
#

uhh maybe not in general

ember rose
sharp meteor
#

think maybe like kryain/necro(retwarr) > necro > nf/venth

sharp meteor
#

i just like being able to get disarms/duels/rallies quicker, and the haste feels nice for a playing to live playstyle

ember rose
#

Yea makes sense

mortal marlin
#

so only play necro if im play with a ret?

#

what about turbo?

sharp meteor
#

no it just synergizes nicely

#

uhh lack of pin feels kind of bad into some stuff

mortal marlin
#

do you guys go pelagos?

sharp meteor
#

honestly he's probably pretty good for spear goes if you can fish for a spirit proc

#

i usually just play mika though sometimes kleia

thick reef
#

he's really good defensively

mortal marlin
#

mika is the safe pick right?

sharp meteor
#

mika has the aoe stun which can be really nice

dry trail
#

i have all covenants besides kyrian renown 80 i don't really like the vial shit and the aesthetics

sharp meteor
#

Vial certainly feels underwhelming after playing Necro

dry trail
#

ye fleshcraft owns

frail light
#

do you still go enduring lego if u are kyrian or u also want the em lego?

wet scarab
#

I play Mika mostly but don’t like losing a potency conduit, just feels bad offensively compared to necro burst if you hit a bad RNG string

sharp meteor
#

I play elysian like 90-95% of the time

frail light
#

so you u mostly wanne go mika aswell

dry trail
#

u guys use the axe or the sword ?

sharp meteor
#

Operating under the assumption that crit>mastery I think that the sword is probably the play

#

although the axe does have more vers

dry trail
#

ye it's like trading 2% crit for 1 versa gem

thick reef
#

sword is better imho

elfin surge
#

sword is bis

sharp meteor
#

i hope they do elite weapon tints again next season

thick reef
#

100% will

#

they did it for s1 and s2

sharp meteor
#

s1 just used nathria weps i thought

#

because i do recall getting new appearances as i upgraded my weps but when i looked at the pve vendor i had all the appearances despite not raiding

thick reef
#

yeah the elite appearance was the mythic appearance aswell

warped warren
ember rose
#

Crit gives dopamine

#

Haste gives cr

nocturne radish
#

u guys rly think sword is bis? thats sick i got it in my vault but havent used it yet

sharp meteor
#

again operating under the assumption that crit is better than mastery

#

the sword should be better

#

not sure exactly how the stats weigh

nocturne radish
#

gotcha thanks yea extra crit def helps

sharp meteor
#

i think crit might fall off a bit if/when the meta slows down

nocturne radish
#

yeah prob haste is p good now

sharp meteor
#

but games turning on a mortal combo proc + crit

nocturne radish
#

true

proven maple
#

War Sp mirrors. Do you open on the SP. They can peel an opener so well sometimes I feel like living while chugging healer is better?

#

3s

rugged swan
#

so changed to necro to get renown, please explain what is that spell "Raise Banner" and do i need to use it in arena, because i don't see any buff when that instant casted banner over my head?

minor vector
#

It’s cosmetic

rugged swan
#

ok, ty, so banner and fleshcraft 2 spells

sharp meteor
#

It's just an RP thing, yeah.

#

Although you can sometimes spooky people into thinking you actually used banner.

rugged swan
#

thx for your answers u both guys 🙂

sharp meteor
#

What are the NF and Kyrian cosmetic things, anyways? Venth is that your hands get soaked in blood after killing something with condemn, and necro has the banner.

minor vector
#

Soulshape I’m guessing for NF, since its perma in rested areas

#

Kyrian is probably the Steward’s extra options

south wren
#

hey guys, what soulbind to pick as night fae, to have some fun, never played it before

broken zephyr
#

Can't seem to get a consensus on forums, anyone able to tell me what the current arms meta is? Gonna try to slog out glad

sharp meteor
#

Kryian with Elysian Might or Necrolord with Enduring/Misshapen then queue with a ww, ret, shaman, spriest, dk or feral + rdruid/rsham

broken zephyr
#

Oh that's interesting. Is Venthyr Condemn no longer viable?

sharp meteor
#

It's viable, but due to the nerfs to armor and the buff to execute as well as the addition of 8 second spear it has kind of fallen off.

#

Just kind of underwhelming in 3v3 relative to Necro/Kyrian imo

broken zephyr
#

Ahhh wow. I'll check out Kyrian! If I swap at 57 renown will I have to grind Kyrian renown from 0?

sharp meteor
#

I'm not sure. There's a skip to 40 but you may need to have been 80 on a char already to buy it, can't remember.

#

There's a vendor by the FP upstairs in Oribos that sells a thing for 500g that lets you skip to 40

south wren
#

yes, you need to have renown 80 on 1 of your toons

broken zephyr
#

malding

elder wigeon
#

super easy to get 80 at this point

#

you need 80 if you wanna swap at will anyways

broken zephyr
#

quickest way to pop to 80?

sharp meteor
#

Comp Stomp

#

Not active now so probably layer 6-9 Torghast speed runs where you just b line it to the next floor

broken zephyr
#

holy shit you can just do that?

scarlet barn
#

Ofc

broken zephyr
#

thats amazing

scarlet barn
#

Layer 9 is most reliable

sharp meteor
#

Yeah. Super boring, but you can get <5 minute runs in that have a 60-90% chance of getting a renown, varying by current renown level.

broken zephyr
#

Can you repeat layers for the same chance or is it just once per week?

scarlet barn
#

You can do as many

#

As you want

#

Still will get reward

#

It was changed this patch

broken zephyr
#

That's such a good way to cheese renown

elder wigeon
#

not really cheesing it if they've intentionally made it easy to get 80 several weeks after you could first get it

tranquil hemlock
#

9 is most reliable

steel ferry
#

Is the white two weps from 2.1k?

ember rose
#

ya

sharp meteor
#

You get the appearance by upgrading it to Duelist quality which requires 2100 yeah

wet scarab
#

How do you actually beeline to the end without dying

lucid walrus
#

dnt let your health drop to 0

minor vector
wet scarab
#

Gonna try that. What’s the best leggo and covenant for not letting your health drop to 0

elder wigeon
#

none of them are particularly good at that now but technically necrolord

full quiver
warm quarry
#

Best covenant for arms rn?

#

Cant decide kyrian or necro

elder wigeon
#

whatever is best for your comp

#

or playstyle

#

both are equal

thick reef
#

as arms war what soul bind do i use as necro

sharp meteor
#

plague deviser

robust hearth
warped warren
#

nop

wooden canyon
#

as kyrian arms with kyrians might i just want to stack crit and vers?, my haste is down to 7% but it doesnt matter?

dry trail
#

secondary stats doesn't count in pvp from items right ? so it makes vault items with leech speed etc not worth it ?

elder wigeon
#

they don't work in pvp

wicked magnet
#

i want to try another class, how are enh shaman these days? i havent tried a shaman since vanilla

#

oh wait nevermind they go venthyr right? hows a kyrian enh shaman? lol

nocturne radish
#

lmao enhanz is ok rn

#

i think u find a good warrior and que with that if u wanna push 3s

wicked magnet
#

im looking for something good in outdoor pvp but not a rogue/druid but that can throw out an extra heal every now and then to help my wifes raiding guild thats full of baddies. Would ret be a much better choice?

#

i already have a monk

elder wigeon
#

ret is a noob crusher

#

so is WW

exotic wyvern
#

Guys re picking the game after a time away and want to dust the rust off and learn the ins and out s of the class in arena. Which covenant is better atm in 2’s, necro or kyrian?

#

Been doing some reading/lurking on twitch and it seems those are the options, right?

sharp meteor
#

Yep.

wet scarab
#

I think you'll have an easier time as a returnee with kyrian, at least it was for me when I started doing pvp properly in SL

#

helped a lot fighting mobile classes

#

it's also really fun in BGs

elfin valve
wicked bison
#

is nf worth it as fury or is banner still better

elder wigeon
#

pretty confident necro is the best for fury still

dawn hill
#

Is the Venth coven leggo good in 2s?

sharp meteor
#

Yep.

wet scarab
#

just hit 2k cr for the first time, nothing special but a personal milestone, wanted to thank you all for answering every manner of stupid question

sharp meteor
#

Congrats, fren.

simple rock
#

why are they using this lame colour instead of red for glad mount

#

sad reeeee

dreamy compass
#

Best soulbind for kyrian war+dh comp in 3x3? Nobody is playing into war so it seems mechanikos is losing his advantage. Kleia or pelagos is better for dmg in this comp?

fickle forge
simple rock
#

:/

#

bottom one looks dope

#

like a tank or some shit

fickle forge
#

They spend time making different recolors, but choose to stay with the same color in a different tone

warped warren
#

the bfa ones look good tho

full quiver
#

Karg you won't get it anyways if you keep queueing with artji and afro

warped warren
#

yooooooooooo.......

#

too far my guy

wheat jay
#

I'll reply again when i get glad

elfin valve
#

damn why we can’t get the red glad mount. ksm got red and takes no skill.

#

I mean I won’t get it anyway sadge

ember rose
#

Just get it

nocturne radish
#

same lol i feel u

#

and yea ksm didnt take much effort tbh for me

quiet notch
#

is there a good guide or a clip of mud explaining his oneshot? I swapped to necro and wanna try it myself... not sure what the globalorder exactly is

full quiver
#

Just play necro

nocturne radish
#

he gets 2 charges of op buff then nerco banner > avatar > warbreak >sharpen or he might excute or charge it depends

#

might not be the right order 100% but he does something like that

#

depends on matchup too he will sometimes save avatar to break root vs mage too

quiet notch
#

and what does his bladestorm do? alwayys looks like he bladestorms for half a global, cancels it and kills enemy with the global after

nocturne radish
#

he bladestorms sometimes for pure dam or to prevent being cced cuz u cant be cc while in bstorm and u can be immune to disarm

quiet notch
#

ah thats good to know.. and people play enduring blow leggo right?

nocturne radish
#

yeah gen u do

#

sometimes he plays unhigned and does big dam with banner but yea gen alot of nercos pref enduring for passive dam

#

unhigned only for meme 1 shot tbh

sharp meteor
#

Once you get it then banner, warbreaker, storm bolt, cahrge for warbringer then execute into sharpen

#

bolt prior to warbreaker if you think they'll use something

#

Then obv bladestorm if ur unhinged

#

and that straight instakills most people at lower mmrs

nocturne radish
#

yea

sharp meteor
#

but yeah can be any time in the first minute or you can even send a bolt and warbreaker first to get trinkets/cds

#

proccing insignia and sinful revelation also good

#

don't need to force it especially when people so willing to burn defensives onair

nocturne radish
#

yeah

#

its cool to split it and kill them when they burn defensives on the first go

fluid lichen
#

what best legendary?

robust carbon
#

EM for kyrian EB for necro

mystic barn
#

jaunty furnace
#

Everyone exited for pvp in 9.2?

#

Wonder how many people will return for it

elder wigeon
#

not particularly

#

will have to see how they want to balance 9.2

sharp meteor
#

yeah looking forward to it

lucid walrus
sharp meteor
#

big spear + another leggo it's like christmas

#

enduring sephuz misshapen unhinged so many choices

fluid lichen
#

i love how they tried to say covenant choice wasnt game changing

#

and then when they release 2 legendaries, one of them has to be your cov lego

sharp meteor
#

They wanted people to be rewarded for specializing

#

Like if you pick one covenant you'll do more raid damage but be worse in pvp whereas if you pick the lockdown/burst/cc one you'll be better in pvp but less useful in keys

#

Not that I'm agreeing with their philosophy but that's kind of how they seemed to see it

somber comet
#

That was the intent.

#

The problem was some classes just got shafted with their choice

#

Granted, skill can make even a shit covenant work.

#

My mm friend is necro

And he’s got all his +20s

sharp meteor
#

Yep. Specs weren't affected equally. Some played the same cov regardless of content, others didn't.

#

I think that it was a horrible mistake trying to tie the powers to actually joining the covenants

elder wigeon
#

well now that you can swap, it doesn't really matter now does it?

#

from a competitive standpoint

sharp meteor
#

Yeah but here we are a year later and they reluctantly change their stance

#

except that it didn't and they'll do it again next expansion

thick reef
#

Does spell reflect reflect the dmg or the spell. For example i reflected a deathbolt from a warlock but it did 0 dmg even though i had full dots on me

sharp meteor
#

It kind of varies. In the case of deathbolt I think that the damage is only dealt to the target as it's based off dots on them, and nether/reflect aren't going to bounce a 30-50k bolt back their way.

thick reef
#

Ahhh ok

thick reef
#

in the case of DK they get shafted hard because the only cov you can play is necro

#

playing anything else is practically griefing yourself and your teammates

warped warren

i found a nf dk at 2.5mmr in 3s the other week

must've swapped to it then

#

cuz that shit is dog

drowsy goblet
#

which soulbind should i use for kyrian 3s

#

we play arms hunt mw monk

elder wigeon
#

depends on what you're playing into

#

Kleia into assassination rogues and ferals for ascendant phial and hope springs eternal, mikanikos into RMP for auto-phial and stun, pelagos into other stuff if you prefer it over mikanikos

#

I prefer mikanikos into everything other than feral/assass

what's the quick n dirty of why arms is playing necro? is there a good guide on it?

you do big dam your teammates do big dam

i'm guessing it's big if it's buffing like a ret/dk etc

but is it worth for 2s?

elder wigeon

necro is good in 2's for sure

I think kyrian is better though

alright, thanks!

yea kyrian best for 2s prob

As necro for rated bgs, I use the necro leggo on chest peice @fresh kite

Necro executes 40k+ crits ppl die

its either NF or Kyrian for rated bgs for me

is necro Bis for rated bgs?

Kyrian is weak and can often bug and most of the time hunters and .ages know how to get themselves free from a kyrian spear

so necro and what leggo?

what about venth?

teams might make the mistake of being stacked and u can punish them for it as kyrian i think

# wicked magnet kyrian is amazing in rbgs

It's not as good as it used to it got nerfed by 25% this patch and also like I said, it bugs out sometimes and skilled.mages and hunters know how to make it where they can free themselves from the spears root

#

I was kyrian for a few weeks and when I swapped to necro after maxing out kyrian not even 50 renown on necro and felt a huge difference because of them big juicy executes

wicked magnet
#

its not about the damage in rbgs its about the control

#

i just got death bolted for 33k in dstance xD

robust hearth
#

U have 4 other classes tht handle the control issues, mainly BOOMKINS and DKS (talking about rated bgs)

#

Once targets r within execute range u just fleshcraft full cast, avatar+warbreaker, glory execute for them big.juicy 38k+execute crits

#

Maybe a sharpen bladed MS for insurance but usually they die either the 1st or 2nd execute

wooden canyon
#

Can i do anything against the maledict trinket as a warrior

#

or how do i deal with it

sharp meteor
#

u can reflect it before the initial channel finishes to stop it entirely

#

there's also bolt or fear

#

or leap/intervening/charging away

wooden canyon
#

does spell reflect really stop it entirely?

#

even after they started channeling?

#

or do i need to precast it before they begin

sharp meteor
#

so there's an initial windup before it starts actually channeling, i think it has to be during or before that

#

i tested in a duel a while back but can't remember, and i rarely get shackled now

alright cool thanks! also how do you prefer to deal with the shaman's earth elemental spamming earthquake in 2s

elder wigeon

Don’t stack, otherwise there’s nothing to do

sharp meteor
#

accept that you might fall behind a bit early but don't concede pressure completely

#

then just avoid clumping as resune says

#

you can also drag the ele onto your teammate to break cc on the off chance the shaman is playing with something like a mage or hunter

I can't seem to get a "clear" answer by looking at murloc or pvpleaderboard - some go haste, some go crit, some to mast. What should I stack and why?
I am new to this warrior alt.
Thanks in advance.

warped warren
#

mastery is poop

#

i personally like haste. gets more globals out and has better consistent pressure

#

while crit has that rng factor of generating alot of pressure at once, while you go make coffee inbetween globals, drink it up, get a new cup and then you can press the next button

elder wigeon

mastery isn't poop weird

Heh, so not much wiser from that 😢

So a build with like vers> haste = crit > mastery would be nice you reckon? Wouldn't go zero mast, but prio others a bit higher..

Not sure. I tried it and it seemed fine.

Completely new to PvP but have very solid gear from PvE (252 ilvl)

Is ilvl still always better or are lower ilvl pieces with higher verse preferrable?

I currently have 12% versatility

Also, what is a good way to get reps in solo? Are unrated BGs any good at all?

#

Also, warmode? Worth it for practice?

sharp meteor
#

Ilev is better for the most part just steam roll low mmr games to farm out conquest

#

Unranted bgs are fine for honor and war mode is pointless

quiet notch
stark reef
#

Yeah, I'll probably play BGs to at least get trinkets and then go into arena - low mmr should be free lunch

#

Just off the PvE gear - but lets say I have the choice between 246 and 252 with the lower lv. gear having high verse - should i downgrade?

sharp meteor
#

yeah

#

lower ranks of conq gear more powerful though so shouldn't take long to get pieces replaced

#

it's just a lot of games for 1) the conquest and 2) the honor to upgrade

#

least first few ranks are pretty cheap

stark reef
#

I assume misshapen mirror still goes on chest?

sharp meteor
#

yeah although gap between max ilev legendary and duelist gear is lower now

elder wigeon
#

3 ilvl is essentially non-existent what's more important is socket and or using a piece to get stats you can't otherwise get IE haste on helmet or gauntlets

sharp meteor
#

yee

#

there's also the expense factor because some realms have pricey leggos and not everybody wants to shell out a token

elder wigeon
#

yup

sharp meteor
#

because multiple leggos on several chars adds up real quick

stark reef
#

So for Kyrian or Necrolord arms - where would I put misshapen mirror?

#

Or is it even ever used?

Thank you!

elder wigeon
#

if you're playing against a comp where your spear is pretty inconsequential, mirror could be better into a caster cleave, especially against frost mages and all lock specs

#

but mages and locks are pretty tanky and do extreme damage right now, one reflect doesn't really help all that much, only against deathbolt/chaos bolt since it's predictable

sharp meteor
#

one frost bolt or ice lance against both of you is pretty reasonable

#

there's also catching stuff like spriest dots

#

tricky to get stuff on your healer though

elder wigeon
#

yeah if you can actually do that, spell reflect gets pinged off by anything anymore

#

fire mages are gross in that they can fireblast right before the poly goes off to get it no matter what

sharp meteor
#

yeah

elder wigeon
#

wizard cleaves just suck and are very unfun to play against

sharp meteor
#

i am not a happy camper when i queue into splay

#

especially on tolviron

elder wigeon
#

Mage lock MW makes me cry

#

or MLD

#

frost mages do nuke tier damage and if you don't have a purge they're actually anti-melee as fuck because they're immune to stuns for 30 sec

sharp meteor
#

yep

#

ice form bolts with rune down absolutely chunk

stark reef
elder wigeon
#

not generally but it is nice if you can run it

#

most of the time you're stuck grabbing utility talents

sharp meteor
#

so the thing abotu stats site is that they generally only provide what people logged out in

#

disarm for instance is good into other warriors rogues mm hunters etc but useless into wizards

#

i feel like warbringer usually isn't the play but sometimes it is

#

fine default pick for bgs etc

Hello - newly trying out Venthyr - is there any change to the priority list while using Exploiter legendary? (apart from Mortal Strike every 2x Executes) Should I try and stack it with overpower stacks as well?

elder wigeon
#

I wouldn't try super hard to make sure everything's stacked like that but when it happens, it's a big MS usually

#

it's just nice consistent damage

#

you really don't want your MS falling and if you're full crit you're looking at a ~5.8 second cd with a 10 sec duration so there's not much time to let it fall once it's off cd

sharp meteor
#

You can lose so much damage trying to get everything aligned that you should've just sent it

#

If you're playing Venth just go Sephuz or Misshapen

i feel like emblem is only ever bad if you know you aren't going to be looked at

#

it's fine if there's a chance you will be and it's good if you know you will be

#

20 seconds of a personal rally that's also off the GCD is nice, and you don't lose much damage running it

Hey ! Thundercleave necrolord is the way to go convenant wise ?

is necro the best overall cov now?

for all formats'

elder wigeon

no

it's close though

thick reef
#

whgat u mean

elder wigeon
#

necrolord is extremely good on its own, the damage is disgusting, but EM and kyrian still provides a ton of utility for some comps like WPS, WMP

#

I would actually advocate for a 50% nerf on veteran's repute and the mastery benefit from banner nerfed by 50%

thick reef
#

what stat is good for necro? crit or haste?

sharp meteor
#

yes

elder wigeon
#

both, most run at least 10% haste it seems

sharp meteor
#

yeah full crit doesn't not feel great

elder wigeon
#

🤔 which is it

sharp meteor
#

mix of both good

#

full haste good

#

full crit iffy

#

at least that's how it felt to me

mystic barn
#

full send crit

fierce elm
#

full send mastery

elder wigeon
#

full crit feels okay, full haste is probably more fun, crit is what gets you the mud clips

mystic barn
elder wigeon
#

so i mean if you live off of high doses of dopamine, go crit i guess

sharp meteor
#

might also be one of those things where high uptime is haste

#

reduced uptime is crit

mystic barn
#

imagine the dopamine bank account not being exhausted since the early 2000s

elder wigeon
#

Yeah that's also true, if you have 100% uptime, haste feels insane, if no uptime, it feels terrible because it doesn't matter

thick reef
#

what leggo for necro, and in what slots

elder wigeon
#

sephuz is really nice into everything if orc, mirror is great into wizard cleaves like MLD/S or Shadowplay, enduring blow is a great dps option if you just wanna deal more damage. if going sephuz, put on chest, mirror also on chest, and if going enduring, make it on helmet

thick reef
#

what about battelords?

and glory

elder wigeon

glory sucks and I have no comment on battlelord

thick reef
#

how good is Kyrian with enduring vs elysian might? this is for 2v2 mostly

lucid walrus

EM typically better unless you play into something that laughs at spear imo

also makes spear even stronger for peel though. making something like a monk sit there for 8 seconds while you wait out SEF or something is pretty funny

also earth shield leggo good

#

but dstance during bestial + PI can be fine then swap battle when they don't have bestial

#

arms/x vs bm/priest feels super free

#

when and how do u use conqueor's banner?

sharp meteor
#

more or less the same way you use any other damage modifier

#

stacked with others while maximizing uptime

fierce elm
#

Stack it with WB 2nd time

#

or rather

#

stack it with WB mostly everytime

#

unless you are doing some strat of baiting disarm with WB

thick reef
#

it doesn't line up with WB though

#

also WB first, or banner first

grand scaffold
#

av wb banner

#

then wb

#

then av wb

#

then wb banner

#

buffs before dmg buttons

#

if the enemy doesnt have defensives lined up for you next banner

#

save all 3 and use them at 1 go

#

omni bar very useful

stable dirge
#

To get pvp gear. I’m guessing I need to do a ton of pvp? Is the honor currency new to shadowlands? Or was it in BFA?

sharp meteor
#

Yes.

#

Both for the initial conquest to get the gear then the honor to upgrade it.

#

Efficient if you capped weekly but catching up it's a bit of a drag.

#

Should I use 249 pvp helm over this? If not, what dom shard is the best to use in pvp?

Guys, how does the massive Shattering Throw damage work?

sharp meteor
#

shatter do big dam to shields

#

demolition makes it do the biggest dam to shields

wicked magnet
#

@past vapor you ever figure out how massive shat throw dmg works?

sharp meteor
#

sometimes it only breaks the shield

#

sometimes it punches through and kills them

#

threw my toothpick at some lock at 70% with a 50k+ shield up and he died idk how anything works

quasi lotus
#

modifiers on your shattering

#

are unaffected by the shattering limitations of shields only

Are there any streamers playing ret/warr/x that I could check out for VODs? My friends and I have been really struggling at 1900 rating for a week now and I’d want to study better players. We especially struggle against virtually all Lock comps and have no clue how to play them beyond ”hope the lock forgets to press defensives when we burst”

sharp meteor
#

hit spriest they can't kite as well

proven pine
#

He hasn’t streamed in a week and mostly just plays viewer 2s

#

Do his older vods have 3s gameplay with a ret?

fickle forge
#

He should still have some 3s gameplay somewhere

thick reef
#

his yt channel has a few ret/warr/rsham games on it

If i intervene my healer, i will get kicked right? if they try to kick my healer? which classes is it effective against or useless against. To give my healer a breather during heavy damage, and bait kicks

sharp meteor
#

yes if it's a physical kick

#

so rogue warrior monk etc

#

whereas dk dh warlock mage etc are magical and will go through

#

helpful if caster/healer teammats have weakaura to show intervene duration

#

as it's fairly short now

wooden canyon
#

oh cool, i didnt even know it worked that way until a few minutes ago

KEVIN'S OOZELING, does this summon an actual controllable pet

#

or its like bron, uncontrollable

fluid lichen
#

what best lego?
can i be rival with night fae?

sharp meteor
#

i have seen at least two warriors playing nf above glad range so yeah

#

and the oozeling is like bron it just puts a dmg debuff on stuff

ULTIMATE FORM
While channeling Fleshcraft, you are immune to crowd control and you regenerate 2% health every 1 sec. If you finish the full channel, you gain 3 sec of crowd control immunity, during which you regenerate 2% health every 1 sec.

#

is it still interruptable?

sharp meteor
#

and yeah can still be kicked on flesh

#

it's immunity to cc knocks etc

#

so if they kick your healer or something you can channel flesh for free

#

or use to immune a clone/poly or stormbolt etc

mystic barn
full quiver
#

Yeah bounding strides, double time, and leaper is a good combo

fluid lichen

thx

#

when I activate warmode, my gear swaps to pvp item lvl right? what if i go into maw/korthia etc to quest while in warmode, am i questing with pve item level, or pvp?

ember rose

Pve item ilvl i think, pvp gear actives when u enter pvp combat

Do you guys have any recommendations on finding a healer for 2s. By far the hardest part of playing rated arenas

sharp meteor
#

i played with any healer or hybrid

#

can't be picky with no gear

stark reef
#

I went from 0 to 1.5k in 21 games, so far so good. Farming honor in skirmishes right now

#

RIP

lucid walrus
#

you alliance or horde?

stark reef
#

Horde

lucid walrus
#

you're on the preferred side of LFG then

#

it just gets kinda tricky to find heals when pushing if you don't have okay xp

stark reef
#

Probably better to play with friends to 1.8k or 2k before using lfg

#

Because otherwise my drywall looks like swizz cheese in a week

lucid walrus
#

it's no secret that 2k players aren't the best but all i'm saying is i've seen a lot more backpeddlers than usual

sharp meteor
#

everybody at 2.1k rn is fkn awful

#

grab an rsham or rdruid and collect free rating

#

then enjoy the 100k honor grind for upgraades

#

ur allowed to have fun after finishing that

lucid walrus
#

literally just been afk pondering the orb in ashran to get both warrs their 259 crit sword lmao

sharp meteor
#

i want all the weps cos seasonal

lucid walrus
#

ditto

stark reef
#

It put me in 1.9k rated games with 0 games played because duo was 2.1k - games were completely free

#

Just adding hamstring to PvE rotation

#

I guess around 2k I hit a wall with PvE gear where the verse just is too much

sharp meteor
#

yeah now it's just

#

gear grind

#

cr in one bracket probably 2s then farm low mmr 3s for fast conq/honor

#

pop into a daily bg whenever u can if possible for the win bonus

stark reef
#

That 60 conquest is daily?

sharp meteor
#

so first win of the day in any bracket is extra rewards

#

which makes the most efficient thing to do everything once if possible

#

daily bg win, daily epic bg win, daily rbg win

stark reef
#

Will definitely do that

#

Ty!

lucid walrus
#

3s give a shitload as well

#

if your cr is still ratty there then it'll also be easy to replace some slots

#

hey

#

anyone at 2k cr that wasnts to push 2100 with tsg ?

im on dk

#

hi. im new to PvP with 250ish ilvl from mytic. i have around 8k of honor and 300ish of conquest.

should i just buy the remove character control trinket with honor or just farm more conquest?

scarlet barn
#

Trinket should be one of your purchases for sure, if you buy it with honor at lower ilvl or with conquest doesnt matter. The thing you should focus on most is replacing items from pve that dont have good pvp stats first

#

Or ones that are lower ilvl and start upgrading them

shut barn
#

allways upgrade weapon first u can have honor medalion

What you prefer for 3s necro or kyrian? I play most time lfg with my war. I was venth for 2 all the time but now i wanns also q 3s😊

stark reef
#

It definitely depends on the comp and your role in it. Necro has the burst potential and Kyrian has the utility where you can set up offensively or peel for your team-mates.

I’d say Kyrian in 3s should have more applications but that’s really just because spear has broader application.

And the higher you climb the more narrow the meta will be and maybe at the top it is to set up a necro warrior to insta-gib someone. I am the wrong person to ask there.

I’d definitely check arenamaster.io and see what highest rated wars in 3s play but also keep in mind that that’s specific to that bracket.

wicked magnet
#

no set bonus though i dont think

warped warren
#

buy with honor

wary frigate
#

hey guys. whats the meta rn for arms/ret/rdruid? is it necro for arms and kyrian for ret?

analog warren
#

necro for playing with ret

sharp meteor
#

necro warr, kyrian or maybe necro ret depending on what you're queuing into? in general probably kyrian though
