#

Wat is downside of venthyr warrior compared to other covenants can somone actually explain?

#

And don't explain it by using arena comps as a reference

#

I just want to know y it's considered "not meta" for the warrior alone

minor vector
#

Execute hits harder

#

Ez

warped warren
#

feels like shit to press

wheat jay
#

Is boring as fuck

warped warren
#

you autolose into ferals

#

kinda

wicked magnet
hard hazel
#

what second lego were people thinking of running with Kyrian elysian might

#

unhinged coming back you think?

sharp meteor
#

probably enduring as a general pick

#

maybe unhinged, or reflect

hard hazel
#

never ran enduring, does it feel like it procs as the 25% states?

sharp meteor
#

can proc off mortal combo as well

#

so it feels

#

quite nice

#

just scored a kill vs another warr randomly the other day because enduring created little burst window

hard hazel
#

interesting

#

are you playing kyrian or necro

sharp meteor
#

necro on that warr actually

#

i queue turbo on kyrian warr and retwarr on necro

#

spear leggo 95% of the time on kyrian

hard hazel
#

ret war on kyrian not bis?

sharp meteor
#

i like necro more in general and it meshes nicely with ret

#

although kyrian warr with ret doesn't seem bad at all

#

necro warr with enh feels like a matchup specific thing where sometimes it's good other times it's pain

elder wigeon
#

sometimes more sometimes less

#

it is rng after all for EB

#

sometimes you're given a double proc off mortal combo as a gift from god

#

5% chance every time you press mortal strike for that to happen

#

if you have 252 enhanced mc

vast haven
#

i just resubbed. havent played since 9.0. im bis pvp season 1 gear. what should i do to catch up?

sharp meteor
#

oh and mortal combo procs off any instance of ms damaage

#

a swept mortal strike is 2 chances to proc for instance

vast haven
#

i figured that for grinding conq and honor

sharp meteor
#

227 or w/e is fine just grab a healer

vast haven
#

but what about campaign, story, torghast pve stuff etc?

#

what should priorities be?

sharp meteor
#

not sure how mandatory that stuff is now aside from renown which u get from everything

#

need like 57ish for full tree then 75 or something for full conduit upgrades but importaant bit is 57

stark reef
#

Shackles any good on war?

thick reef
#

it works but not lotta warrs use it more pref to use something like badge or insignia

sharp meteor
#

can badge to align with spear or every other warbreaker

#

or just insignia

#

both feel nicer than maledict to me

thick reef
#

^^ yeah

#

maybe unless u have a partner that plays with one then u can coordinate and mal after dispell

stark reef
#

kk, ty

elder wigeon
sharp meteor
#

it just has icd to prevent the windfury thing

elder wigeon
#

I've played thousands of games, did a bunch of m+ and heroic/mythic raiding, never once had it happen

sharp meteor
#

funny i was just wondering why i got so many more procs when sweeping

#

after queuing into hunters for a whole day

fringe moat
#

Besides monks and warriors what are some of the classes that consistently counter or negate the war breaker every 45 seconds?

sharp meteor
#

rogue with dismantle is a big one

#

and/or kidney

#

DH can fel eruption and/or big incap

#

although you can reflect the imprison

elder wigeon
#

rdruids, if they're good

stark reef
#

Any good macros vs. shaman totems?

elder wigeon
#

you can't, just click them

sharp meteor
#

esc, interface, names, then minions or minor to show their plate

#

they killed macro killing totems a LONG time ago

stark reef
#

I came from classic straight to this, over there it was all totems macro'd into hamstring

#

Ty, just turned on the option

frosty flower
#

Isn’t that normally aff?

sharp meteor
#

probably aff? although demo might work like a bit of a ghetto wps

#

deathbolt is nice it gives aff kill pressure prior to the ten minute mark

#

should be fine

#

don't have to neglect everything and all-in a 1-shot attempt

#

just setting up for a bolt off CD and maybe forcing something is fine

#

20-50k over 2-4 seconds or w/e it is will still sting a lot

safe pecan
#

for kyr which leg is bis?

#

spear or CS proc?

sharp meteor
#

I think that spear is the better overall

#

although there are some cases where enduring might be good

elder wigeon
#

spear for sure, but certain teams, spear is useless, like sp

languid swift
#

sorry ive just seen where it comes from, i need to learn to read

sharp meteor
#

luv elite weps

#

hope they do them again next season

warped warren
#

every season

sharp meteor
#

ya

#

also queued into my first fury warr in a while

raw summit
#

New enchant though..

sharp meteor
#

necro fury with kyrian boomie and hpriest so they just gave him the buffs and he went ham

raw summit
#

Thing is how does fury live a go

#

It's the main thing im struggling with as that spec

sharp meteor
#

idk but it worked with them until 2650

#

also the warr stormed 2 point blank bolts

#

im in shambles

raw summit
#

IP is awful to press and Frenzied Regen kinda shit compared to dbts

sharp meteor
#

it is

raw summit
#

Been told the best play for fury is to respec Arms

#

Probably straight up true

sharp meteor
#

it is true

#

last cov i need to push on is nf though

#

so i have to go full meme

#

probably going nf fury panda or something

raw summit
#

NF fury Panda with some gimmicky oneshot that works one time

#

Maybe with idk Bell Trinket from the World quest

#

For giga mastery

robust hearth
sharp meteor
#

because it's not as troll as vulpera

thick reef
#

both Kyrian and Necro use Badge right

#

is it worth it to buy/upgrade Insignia

warped warren
#

yes

#

i use insignia 99% of the time

thick reef
#

hmm, Mud's video and also everyone on the leaderboard uses badge

full quiver
#

eto only plays at like 1200

warped warren
#

cant care less

sharp meteor
#

i play both and kind of swap depending on cov matchup comp

#

basically the win condition of the game

#

am i killing somebody in goes > badge

#

am I killing somebody by ooming their healer > insignia

#

idk what to pick > insignia

#

im scared > battlemaster

thick reef
#

haha

#

nicely put

sharp meteor
#

like shackle might have some potential but there's usually so much else to think and worry about that I don't think to fret about setting up a decent shackle go

#

also lot of warrs i notice recently playing rly mongo i think because they're so used to being ignored

#

been turning and killing a lot of people recently

#

it's like they trade parry and intervene into our cds to peel their partner we swap to them after it falls and they just explode

rugged swan
#

so wsup with these shadow priests and lock metas? they just simply use warlock gate after i spear any of them and spear laser won't bring them back? i am sure some time ago it did bring them back after they use gate

full quiver
#

if they use their demon circle port at wrong time it will pull them back

#

don't spear them next to gate unless it's on CD

rugged swan
#

yeah but problem is that when they see spear is up they run and stand next to gate 😄

#

so u mean if they use gate right after spear it won't bring em back?

full quiver
#

so pressure them into taking gate

#

then leap spear

rugged swan
#

ok, will try, thx for help

full quiver
#

idk if you're talking 2s or 3s. but if it's 2s and you're hitting him with warbreaker/avatar, he's probably going to need to take gate lol

#

if it's 3s and you're on him with your partner, same thing

#

you can also do opposite. bait their gate with just spear, then do your big go

rugged swan
#

i was talking about 2s y

#

ok, good ideas will try

full quiver
#

spriest, i'd play enduring if you have it, you can spear them, they'll GF then you do your warbreaker/avatar go

#

you'll win just by training the spriest whole time

sharp meteor
#

can usually spear to bait fade then just send bolt and warbreaker

#

rdruid splay actually feels impossible as a lot of melee comps

#

unless u luck out and they don't press anything in opener

thick reef
#

what does Berserker Rage break? what I know is Fear/Sap/Repetence/Paralysis. anything else?

old trail
#

cant believe it took 3 hours of skirms

#

but I did it

#

got this from rank 7 to 8

#

And then spent all week going from rank 0 to 8

full quiver
#

lol

#

i just got both from vault at 2.1

old trail
#

Im shooting for stuff from raid/dungeons for vault

#

pvp is very low priority 😦

#

Im a raider main

wooden canyon
#

How do you guys deal with bm hunters?

full quiver
#

kill them with big dam

low gulch
#

Is 246 fully upgraded jaithys worth running in my offhand if I have a 259 duelist weapon in main hand? (Fury, obviously)

full quiver
#

would be better using duelist wep as arms

#

lol

low gulch
#

That’s why I’m asking about fury and not arms kekw

raw summit
#

at that point it might be worth doin some dummy testing

#

try out both options in a "Go"

#

then both over like 3 mins or smth

low gulch
#

Ok gonna give it a shot

#

Obvi arms is better but I’m tryna see if there is any way to make fury go harder than arms in RBGs so I can rip and tear all Doom style

full quiver
#

duelist PVP weapon will outperform jiathys 100%

#

if you have 2 of them use that

#

fury in any rbgs over 1800 is just going to get focused and die in the first team fight lol

elder wigeon
#

big true

sharp meteor
#

fury in a large scale setting seems susceptible to focus fire

full quiver
#

if you want that experience just play DH lol

sharp meteor
#

havoc is much better than fury

#

although in recent history

#

i have queued into more fury warriors than havoc dhs

full quiver
#

i haven't done rbgs since beginning of the season, i'm not sure if they play necro or nightfae now

#

i'd imagine it's probably still night fae

#

can't really rely on demon spawn for one shotting FC lol

sharp meteor
#

can the team join then tell u which map it is

elder wigeon
#

necro dh is disgust

#

actually S tier now

wheat jay
#

Wouldn't say s tier

#

Definitely strong

#

Their dps on details is fake

#

It counts oneshot to their demon

#

So 70k dmg from throw Glaive on every proc

mystic barn
wheat jay
full quiver
#

lol

#

their dps is not fake

#

you can look at after arena and see the dam diff

wheat jay
sharp meteor
wheat jay
#

Today, 260k above me in details, 360k was dmg to demons he was proccing

wheat jay
sharp meteor
#

a+ or s tier

#

necro havoc rly good

wheat jay
#

Mhmmm

sharp meteor
#

dh players just

#

aren't

#

similar to lock players

wheat jay
#

Some would say that about warriors :)

sharp meteor
#

every bfa glad dh/lock that's rival now and think that their class is bad deserves to be thrown from a helicopter

wheat jay
#

So do people who claim warrior is completely fine tbh

#

Necro dh is strong but its definitely not s tier

sharp meteor
#

whomst is claiming warr is fine

#

although most people can't even articulate what's strong about them

minor vector
#

after bfa warrior the ladder had it comin

wheat jay
#

Mhmmm

#

Not sure if it should be based on past seasons but ok

wheat jay
elder wigeon
#

DH does unhealable damage right now

#

and is actually really hard to kill

#

DH is so brain dead every DH does the exact same amount of damage, all the skill is how hard they are to kill

thick reef
#

what is their burst rotation?

elder wigeon
#

pop demon, eyebeam death sweep, spam annihiliation

thick reef
#

what is pop demon?

wheat jay
elder wigeon
#

lol I've never out damaged a necro dh

#

not even close

wheat jay
# thick reef what is pop demon?

Necro dh ability, they proc a demon, if they kill it, throw Glaive oneshots it, they get 20% more dmg and heal 45% of their HP

sharp meteor
#

havoc dh always does more than arms

elder wigeon
#

and I'm out damaging my ret

wheat jay
#

Resune, do you count throw Glaive as their dmg?

sharp meteor
#

🤨

wheat jay
#

Cuz those 70k hits from throw Glaive

#

Is them killing demon

elder wigeon
#

No, have you ever played 2's? necro dh solos healers all day

sharp meteor
#

havoc does way more dam

#

arms has utility

elder wigeon
#

I can't kill any healer faster than a necro dh

#

havoc has utility too

wheat jay
#

I dunno, I rarely play 2s

#

And in 3s im survival, not arms

elder wigeon
#

necro dh boomie is actually an S tier comp atm

#

insanely hard to beat

wheat jay
#

And when i dont count throw Glaive, im never outdamaged by dh xd

elder wigeon
#

you're a hunter

sharp meteor
#

hmm

wheat jay
wheat jay
#

I dont do bm dmg

thick reef
#

so how do u prepare for a necro DH's burst? watch out for when they "Fodder to the Flame"?

sharp meteor
#

havoc should never

#

lose to a surv

sharp meteor
#

in overall

wheat jay
#

Ok, are we talking 2s or 3s?

elder wigeon
#

basically disarm or cc when they pop their demon and gain their demon soul empowerment

wheat jay
#

Cuz that's important

sharp meteor
#

3s idc about 2s

wheat jay
#

Ok, in 3s dh is not that super amazing

#

Especially against warriors

#

Intervene, execute charge, disarm, stun, duel if you play it

#

Their defensives are rng based as well

sharp meteor
#

wtf does duel do to necro havoc

wheat jay
#

Reduce dmg they do to your teammates assuming they dont target you, and if they do theyre stupid cuz you're a warrior and you dont rly die easily

sharp meteor
#

they swap off them instantly

elder wigeon
#

intervene doesn't do fuck all vs 90% of dh dmg

sharp meteor
#

havoc has no rampup

wheat jay
elder wigeon
#

if you haven't noticed DH is all AOE except annihilation, intervene doesn't stop any of that

wheat jay
thick reef
elder wigeon
#

cc them when they pop it man

sharp meteor
#

most of my kills recently have been

#

swapping to the warr

wheat jay
#

Lol

#

Most of mine have been just killing dh

fickle forge
elder wigeon
#

yes, that

sharp meteor
#

yeah necro dh is probably the hgihest sustained dps spec aside from aff

thick reef
elder wigeon
#

Aff > necro DH > BM > ret > everything else

#

in terms of dps

wheat jay
thick reef
#

oh this one right

#

thats the buff I can make WA for

wheat jay
#

Ye this

thick reef
#

kk

wheat jay
#

Precisely

thick reef
#

only 20%? doesn't seem that impressive compared to the hunt

elder wigeon
#

they get it for like 26 or 27 seconds with max conduit

sharp meteor
#

bolt/disarm the eye beam

#

dh is just a hose of dam

#

hard to rly peel it

#

stuff so long

wheat jay
#

Will be stronger in 9.2 cuz legendary for it is good

thick reef
wheat jay
#

Iirc it applies fire brand and demon soul lasts longer

sharp meteor
#

kick eye beam to disrupt haste if possible

#

soul too long to worry about controlling

#

beam is a lot of damage and haste denied if you disrupt it

#

or disarm the follow-up demonic form

thick reef
#

metamorphsis?

wheat jay
#

They get meta for few seconds after eye beam

thick reef
#

kk

#

why does it seem like necro is becoming the end-game covenant for everyone..

#

necro war....necro hunter...necro DH

wheat jay
#

Necro hunter is not meta yet

#

Doubt it'll be

#

Bm doesnt benefit much from it

#

Neither does survival

#

Its used mostly by mm

sharp meteor
#

venth seems better for all specs of hunter

wheat jay
#

And venthyr has the best legendary for 9.2

elder wigeon
#

venthyr warrior will return

sharp meteor
#

def has potential especially if they directly buff it

#

cos at last check nobody played it

stark reef
#

Can someone explain how the movement speed gems work? I am having the 13/shadowland gem and the +5% one + minor speed on cloak and my MS is 7%

#

(Was 8% before I put in the +5% one over a verse one)

sharp meteor
#

5% one doesn't show

#

or rather it's calculated differently and so doesn't show

#

speed cloak, SL gems in all sockets, SL speed gem, 5% movement speed

#

but don't bother with SL speed gem if u aren't full gems

stark reef
#

I am full gems

#

And have 18k soul-cinders left

wheat jay
#

Man you're mad

stark reef
#

Just leveled 4 covenants to 80 in thorgast

#

Now I just need to find a healer for 2s

warm quiver
#

What’s the best 3s comp right now ? I’ve been running vanguards but every time we que into a warr a priest we have issues.

elder wigeon
#

RMP

#

best warrior comp? ret war with an Rdruid

#

RMP > Jungle > Ret war

sharp meteor
#

retwarr with rdruid and wps feelin cozy

#

just pve

wet scarab
#

I’m actually trying a really fun 3s comp right now with a demo lock and disc priest

#

Not ideal but lots of peel options and pressure especially against melee comps

#

Also a bit easier on caster comps I feel than melee cleave

#

The demo is a lot tankier than spriest too

#

Anyway lots of chaos and fun to be had and I can usually go nuts on the healer or one of the dps because they always go for the lock

#

Monks and rets and feral druids instantly die

sharp meteor
#

seems like budget wps except u lose on mana and are basically just banking on the enemy team not knowing what happens after decimating bolt

#

but yeah seen so many wonky comps recently

#

aff/demo/hpal, feral/disc/aff, unholy/aff/hpriest

#

delete warlock

wet scarab
#

The games are usually over far before mana becomes an issue. The only comp that gave us trouble was necro DH

sharp meteor
#

yeah they spooky

wet scarab
#

We played a rdruid necro dh afflock comp and it was cancer

sharp meteor
#

infinity damage owO

wet scarab
#

Lasted too long and I had to peel to save the healer and the afflock just killed everyone

#

But the nice thing about demo is you can split targets easily and it’s way too much pressure for the healer

#

With the disc they can 2v2 the dps as well

thick reef
#

what is frost DK's biggest powerup ability

#

and unholy's

sharp meteor
#

unh idk how they work rn but frost is limb and pillar

#

well, empower, pillar and limb, but empower can telegraph the go

#

frost generally trying to get people gripped for pillar

#

try to bladestorm the stun/sleet and disarm the pillar

#

when they grip your teammate onto you

old trail
#

But most unholies are taking ebon fever, which means no blight

#

If you see yourself at 4+ wounds around every minute, chances are the uh dk is going for an apoc

sharp meteor
#

Oh, yeah, the red line to the pet is usually aligning with the unh setup

old trail
#

especially if you see them transform first

sharp meteor
#

er orange line

old trail
#

UB+DT+Apoc are usually lined up in that way

#

It's very telegraphed

sharp meteor
#

ya there's like so few people who q it that i forget how it works

#

doesn't seem bad just requires a degree of finesse

spice hornet
#

necro dh healer

#

its so aids

#

for 2s

#

literally just run down healers pressing blur on cd, cage/stun on off target

#

like lol

simple rock
#

the dhs that q with foxyllama literally do 5-7k dps sustain without cleave

#

~2600mmr

#

it's insane

elder wigeon
#

yup

#

rev and mvq

lucid walrus
#

hunt 1shots are annoying but getting dogged by something as hard to peel as that feels way worse

elder wigeon
#

nah dhs don't play nf anymore

#

all necrolord now

lucid walrus
#

wondered ab that

frigid loom
#

Ye the sustained damage from necro dh is pretty insane, and the added survivability from being necro benefits them alot as they are squishy as fuck as nightfae and need to use their mobility to run away all the time. So with necro they also get way more uptime

fickle forge
# elder wigeon rev and mvq

Going up against mvq is big sweat time, feel like he can drop you at any given time if you don't mind his positioning constantly

elder wigeon
#

Yeah any dh is sweat time, the damage is unreal

viscid bluff
#

can you intervene the war banner?

wheat jay
#

No

viscid bluff
#

ok

wheat jay
#

Why would you ever want to

fierce elm
#

movement

warped warren
#

so drop banner

#

move away

#

intervene back

#

😂

wheat jay
#

just use intervene for your homies

#

even against casters

#

it gives dmg reduction xD

fickle forge
#

Plant banner on ports
Intervene to it when monk/lock TPs

Checkmate

warped warren
#

not like people instakill banners

#

🧢

full quiver
#

Tek and I played vs warlock, warrior, rdruid

#

Warlock was using gate leggo that knocks you up when he gates if he touched you

#

Was absolutely aids lol

sharp meteor
#

ya haven't seen that yet

#

keep bumping into locks with drain leggo

full quiver
#

we had no clue wtf was going on during the game

#

i kept checking to see if the arms warrior they had was prot lol

sharp meteor
#

portal knock

#

er gate knock

full quiver
#

yeah

#

first cast of gate does not put it on CD

#

and every time you gate, it knocks up people near you / you pass through mid gate lol

#

i didn't know about hte leggo so i thought maybe it was a prot warrior

#

since bear druid has knock up

wet scarab
#

what slot do you use leaper on?

rough wharf
#

yo, only shadowlands speed gem or also bfa one?

elder wigeon
#

you can use both if you'd like

warped warren
sharp meteor
#

i like sl speed and 5% along with a few vers

#

idk about the 3%

rough wharf
#

Hmm I’ll skip the bfa gem if it’s not mandatory

#

@sharp meteor is the 5% one actually 5%? Read that it’s oddly calculated somewhere

sharp meteor
#

yep just doesn't show in the default char sheet

#

it's like they have multiple movement speed stats that interact fine but only show some of them

rough wharf
#

Ah ok. Im at 9% speed from the shadowlands one atm

sharp meteor
#

although really it's hard to notice

#

but then again so is 16 of a secondary

rough wharf
#

It’s 4.5k on my server that’s why I’m wondering

thick reef
#

how do I play War/SP

#

used to ret/war, but no idea what the game plan is for War/SP

sharp meteor
#

even easier

#

just peel for priest

#

and do pve damage

thick reef
#

what makes spriest better than any other caster for a warrior?

sharp meteor
#

they just sit there and don't die while pumping damage

#

and have reliable ranged cc

thick reef
#

also, i guess Kyrian > Necro for War/SP ya?

sharp meteor
#

i think so but they both work

elder wigeon
#

sp has md for cc on your healer, does big dam, has insane pressure with spear + psyfiend goes, very strong stun silence goes with your bolt

#

and yes kyrian is best because of psyfiend

sharp meteor
#

spear into unholy nova is actually impossible for melee cleaves to deal with

elder wigeon
#

WPS is like a S- tier comp

sharp meteor
#

can't reach psyfiend

elder wigeon
#

it's almost one of the best

sharp meteor
#

yeah the shadow priest in a wps was #1 on na the other day

#

also yeah the mds on healer are really nice as well

#

rip off trap poly and whatnot

elder wigeon
#

survival hunter comps are a bit hard actually

#

for WPS

#

played against a survival jungle and it was actually hard

#

feral could never die, did like 800K healing, kept adaptive swarm frenzying

sharp meteor
#

oh i have seen a few ferals playing resto aff

thick reef
#

comparing Ret/War to WPS? i suppose WPS would have an easier time against caster comps, which is hard for Ret/War

sharp meteor
#

and/or that one healing legendary

elder wigeon
#

WPS is okay into wizard cleaves

sharp meteor
#

yeah wizards are kind of suffering

elder wigeon
#

shadow play is suffering for every comp in the game

sharp meteor
#

actually tho

elder wigeon
#

kitty cleave is probably the most "fun" comp into a wizard cleave like shadow play

full quiver
#

lol

#

i like KFC into caster cleave

elder wigeon
#

KFC fucks caster cleaves especially if it's a MM hunter

full quiver
#

kyrian war + bm hunt is hard to deal with

sharp meteor
#

why is that

#

oh yeah mm

full quiver
#

we played BM

#

haven't rode the MM train yet lol

#

necro MM seems pretty nasty though

elder wigeon
#

hunters passively counter rdruids with tranq shot and if you play with rsham that spam purges on a swap, it's actually kinda nutty

sharp meteor
#

venth seems more reliable

#

and tranq shot is a reasonably long cd for a single hot

elder wigeon
#

KFC is definitely on the cusp of being nuts

full quiver
#

it's not just a single hot tho

#

it reduces the all the remaining hot timers

elder wigeon
#

you play the pvp talent

sharp meteor
#

thought the dart talent was still melee range

full quiver
#

yeah

#

but vs cleaves

#

it fucks rdruid so hard lol

#

doesn't help much vs caster cleave, i don't think you'd play it

lucid walrus
#

granted there's the issue of mana & cross cc but goddamn

thick reef
#

if i want to make a WA to pop my banner when my ret is bursting, which ret buff/CD should my WA trigger with?

#

wings?

lucid walrus
#

avenging wrath

#

so wings, yeah

thick reef
#

kk

#

isn't there a mini-wing proc though

You should be able to set it to show the length of the cd. And then you’ll be able to tell the difference between big wings and the proc

So here's the dilemma lads. Im a clothie range main, but this season I really want the 1800 plate set (kick myself for not getting last seasons). What will I have an easier as (from a pretty fresh character) - ret or warrior?

sharp meteor
#

arms

#

better in 2s

#

works with less gear

vestal ibex
#

Arms is also simpler imo

#

Don't have to worry about BoP/Freedom/Sanc/Sac/off-healing

sharp meteor
#

like nobody used cds all the way to like 2200 on necro warr

#

i just ding somebody in the opener each game

#

ret they're peeling the seraphim gcd

vestal ibex
#

My dumbass still can't break 1950 though

lucid walrus
#

1800 2s is a joke on war

vestal ibex
#

LFG is a lottery of 'whos boosted'

sharp meteor
#

uh there aren't too many truly boosted players but there are a good chunk of like

#

2s rdruids for instance

#

that are like duelist 2s 1700 3s

#

similar wit hunters

vestal ibex
#

I've got 1800 in 2s and 1890 in 3s

#

Can't seem to break higher

full quiver
#

probably not an issue with boosted people then lol

vestal ibex
#

It is because I got my rating with someone who no longer plays - since then it's been losses galore

#

Found climbing to 1890 easy as pie

full quiver
#

1800 arms in 2s is completely free

vestal ibex
#

Not saying that I'm not also just hardstuck too, just a factor haha

warped warren
#

@plain wing get an understanding of how to press damage and peels correctly and you should have no issue

full quiver
#

i thought you needed 1950 for set now tho

lucid walrus
#

you can reliably reflect every trap against hunter teams in 2s until like ~2.2

full quiver
#

lol

warped warren
#

granted you have a healer who somewhat press buttons

full quiver
#

just play shackle and kyrian and you don't even need to reflect trap

warped warren
lucid walrus
#

they reverted the set breakpoints

full quiver
#

oh did they change it back

#

lmao

lucid walrus
#

which is a good thing imo

warped warren

necro is the far friendlier cov

warped warren

isnt the best thing to do

i guess

but vs hunter "is the hunter trap off cd? is he running otwards healer or stunning him?"

pretty easy for any level lol

Thanks for the answers guys!

#

@warped warren any good starting places on where to get good at these mentioned concepts? Or just in general getting into arena / pvp on warrior

full quiver
#

watch people do viewer 2s on war

#

and play a bunch of games

sharp meteor
#

hm not sure about viewer 2s as those are kind of like smurf matches

full quiver
#

if they're looking to get 1800 in 2s lol

warped warren
#

can start off reading abit in the pinned guides

#

i guess

#

also this

sharp meteor
#

yeah the tldr of arms is just do pve damage to the thing least likely to kite you

#

queue with ideally rdruid or rsham

#

and should be easy time

full quiver
sharp meteor
#

so the thing with viewer games is that u end up like the million sub rogues

full quiver
#

nah

sharp meteor
#

who try to mimic pikaboo

full quiver
#

this guy does a lot of war viewer games

#

so then you can see how to play when your healer has no clue wtf they're doing lol

#

he calls out what he's going to do/ doing half the time. was pretty easy for me to pick up and go

#

got 1800 at like 199 ilvl

#

never touched war in my life since classic back in like 2008 or w/e lol

warped warren
full quiver
#

i had no clue what buttons war pressed

#

i had played a lot of DH tho

#

but if he wants 1800 that's literally just playing the game lol

sharp meteor
#

like if he's explaining what he's doing then that's fine idk i don't watch streamers

#

i just see a lot of people trying to be mud or pika

full quiver
#

i found it helpful

#

he'll answer questions too

sharp meteor
#

yeah sounds good then

lucid walrus
#

viewer 2s is probably the closest you'll get to a good stream on the topic i guess

#

considering higher rated shit wouldn't be realistic for climbing in low cr. but yeah you run into the issue of r1s just dunking on people w/o explaining a thing

sharp meteor
#

yeah sending parry and all offensive cds in the opener to just body somebody can't realistically be copied

#

when you're down on gear and exp

full quiver
#

that's our boy muds viewer 2s

#

lol

#

which is also how i got second war up to 2.1 as necro

lucid walrus
#

don't get me wrong, watching dude make a sport out of seeing how high of an execute he can hit in rat leagues is top notch entertainment

#

it just isn't for learning lmao

sharp meteor
#

yeah my healer nearly fell out of his chair when i whomped some guy for like 44k which swept and killed his partner

lucid walrus
#

lmfao

sharp meteor
#

im like hey watch his and just dropped him from 100% with a warbringer charge into execute

#

wheeee

full quiver
#

no one expects warbringer dam

#

i've killed so many people running by running away from them if i'm not close enough to hit, to get warbringer, to get them back into execute range

sharp meteor
#

that like 10-15k hit plus 25-40k execute followed by sharpened ms

#

#

Thanks guys

#

Excited to hop into it. Pretty terrible at pvp 🤞🏽

full quiver
#

just keep playing and don't blame your healer lol

plain wing
#

Getting into pvp is just super hard with crappy gear

#

Haha true!

wooden canyon
#

pls gimme tips against bm hunter + healer in 2v2

sharp meteor
#

vs non-druids I'll usually just eat the healer

#

vs druids I'll go hunter bolt the freedom and swap to pet whenever I can't reach the hunter

#

can also run misshapen to reflect 90% of traps below duelist+ because down there hunters just intim healer into trap, so you reflect in between and will usually stop it

#

healers USUALLY won't cross-cc you

#

if they do it's possible to trade trinket quickly if you can still get it

#

be in dstance during bestial unless you're absolutely tearing into them with your own cds

#

can also line them as long as it doesn't fk your healer as 90% of their damage is shots form the hunter, not the pet

wooden canyon
#

alright thanks alot sir! will apply this on the next bm game im in

sharp meteor
#

yeah i hate bm/rdruid but if you have your own druid it's fine

#

rdruids getting deleted when

plain wing
#

Guys recommend hopping into bg’s or straight into arena

#

210 Ilvl (mostly pve gear)

lucid walrus
#

depends on vers. daily wins are often worthwhile

#

already have trinkets?

plain wing
#

I have the proc trinket

lucid walrus
#

got medallion?

sharp meteor
#

so best case scenario you have a healer willing to queue with you and you just play SUPER low mmr 2s matches to faarm conq

#

and get 1k cr out of the way for some upgrades

#

some crafted gear leggo etc to fill out prior to that is aight, along with korthia

lucid walrus
#

anything's an upgrade for you if you're all pve gear, yeah. trinkets + trinket bonus is imperative no matter how ratty the rating you're playing at is

sharp meteor
#

bgs and honor gear as last resort imo but you can do the epics once for the quest that gives like 250 conq, like kill tremblade

#

i climbed two chars up like this and 95% of the struggle is having somebody to queue with

plain wing
#

Ok, sounds good. 🙌

#

@sharp meteor find a healer with low rating too?

lucid walrus
#

oh yeah

sharp meteor
#

basically just like a warm body to queue with, I had to play with a hunter at one point lmao

#

anything to get those super low mmr wins in, just need conquest

deft island
#

hi guys, i got a quick question...so i just reached 1,8cr and was wondering how i will get the nice looking weapons in the fitting colour theme....not that buyable yellow/purple kind of scheme....do i need to unlock it through more rating?!

sharp meteor
#

white weapons are Duelist/2100

plain wing
#

@sharp meteor thanks man

sharp meteor
#

Best of luck. Just don't let those games where you lose due to lack of gear bug you.

#

Just need games to buy pieces, and that can take a little while.

the worst bit is the honor required to upgrade all the weps to duelist deadge

that it costs more than the 15k cap

also only DH can use the warglaive so had to setup mine just to get that deadge

@sharp meteor yea im sure there will be MANY MANY more games where I just am bad (not related to gear)

conquest caches?

sharp meteor

375 conq on your 1400 (or maye it was 1600) cr main

and it can be opened for a random conq piece

#

so nice for setting up the alts

plain wing

oh damn

wicked magnet

thats what you'll be saying when you get 5 pvp trinkets in a row you don't use

its not that bad, some of my alts got really lucky with it but one of mine did get a bunch of crappy pvp trinkets

what leggo do you go for arms as necro?

sharp meteor

enduring is really nice

best general pick imo

thick reef
#

why does alot of arena LFG say "Looking for btags"

sharp meteor
#

because regular partners > finding new ones every time you get on

thick reef
#

ah

sharp meteor
#

also whenever u find somebody new to play with try to play with them again soon

#

too easy to add peopple then just awkwardly never queue LOL

thick reef
#

is there any good pvp discords? for NA or NA horde more specifically.

wheat jay
#

Used to be this one sadge

#

Or do you mean to find people to play with?

#

Cuz fastest way would still be to queue and add people with whom you haveve good results

thick reef
#

not just for warriors, but u know, everyone

wheat jay
#

Queue is the best

#

Do you have any past seasons exp/achievements?

#

If not then just queue

full quiver
#

I found a lot of people from LFG, rbgs

#

You can join other class discorda and try and find people to play with

wet scarab
#

If you do RBGs you’ll often be asked to join a community’s discord and if they’re cool you can find great arena partners that you vibe with

#

Lol sometimes I add people on bnet after we have a really good sesh together and I don’t ask them to requeue because I’m worried I’ll play badly and be exposed

thick reef
#

i dont think i deserve my rating/gear.

sharp meteor
#

me swinging from god complex to imposter syndrome based on how my last queue session went

wet scarab
#

That said once I got over it because the friend reached out and wanted to play, it swings back and forth, but it gives you the confidence to try out new strats and to give constructive feedback, and I’m this close to duelist from playing with three of those folks

So it’s totally worth taking the chance to be embarrassed briefly

basically you get partnered with a(nother) newb and will probably face some troll team of 2kers

Do some random bgs, particularly epic

Arms is quite dreadful in skirms even with gear

How do you guys deal with being kited? Whenever I go against hunters, DH, Feral etc I find myself sometimes waddling my fat orc ass in non-mans-land unable to connect

#

I know it's my inexperience causing this!

sharp meteor
#

Maintain hamstring/piercing, don't charge if you don't have to, use avatar for the root break, bladestorm cc.

#

Like in opener don't generally charge stuff with more mobility than you if possible, like ww/havoc.

fierce elm
#

stop charging at the start of a match

#

is a big one

sharp meteor
#

Yeah just walk into them, hamstring/piercing/overpower

fierce elm
#

just mount up and walk to them and hamstring

vestal ibex
#

Ahh good shout, I've always charged at the start

fierce elm
#

ya fuck that

sharp meteor
#

so the idea is that you want to be on them as uch as possible, but always during your cds

#

so have cc/mobility to guarantee your uptime

#

and/or wiat for them to burn mobility

fierce elm
#

Also generally you can afford to pick DS to cover your mistakes

vestal ibex
#

Literally my biggest issue with playing Warr was the lack of self healing and being rooted/slowed on repeat... If I can solve one of those problems I'll be happy 😂

fierce elm
#

if you and your healer plays somewhat right it should be hard to kite you

#

With spell reflect, bladestorm, charge, leap, 100% uptime on slow, avatar

sharp meteor
#

won't have perfect uptime but should in most matchups be at least on them for the duration of your cds

#

usually getting kited is misusing mobility tho

soft plank
#

Is there a situation where you dps different targets as retwar in 3s?

fierce elm

stacking vs WW on leg sweep should be a non issue

Just banner it and rotate trinkets

and its fine

as ret warr you are gonna get double swept however you do

You can stack on WWs that have leg swep up, but only once

or

full quiver
#

Never

sharp meteor
#

ava can get kind of

#

hm

vestal ibex
elder wigeon
#

badge doesn't line up for shit

#

if you're mikanikos and get 2+ targets in spear often you gotta hold spear for like 10 seconds, you gotta hold warbreaker for 15 seconds for badge, you have to hold badge for 30 seconds for avatar and bladestorm

#

none of it works, and god forbid you get disarmed when you use badge with warbreaker

sharp meteor
#

yeah like if you only win in burst windows then it might be fine but in general

#

insignia feels to synergize with how you want to be playing

#

haste, insignia and enduring feels super good

thick reef
#

but getting insignia proc when you can't burst (like snared, have no CD etc), feels pointless?

elder wigeon
#

I don't wait for insignia proc to burst and I may be wrong, but I don't see any other top warriors doing that either

#

it's for more sustain damage and pressure

wheat jay
#

Holding dmg in arena is usually a bad idea

#

Unless you know you're gonna get fully stopped

plain wing
#

So should i not use badge? Like use the chain trinket or insignia instead?

elder wigeon
#

I will never ever play shackles

#

and it's up to you

#

smexxin runs insignia as kyrian and full haste

#

the higher rated you are, the harder it is to actually have your burst be unpeeled which I think makes badge worse and makes playing for big crit 1 shots impractical

wheat jay
#

Getting big crits during your cds is hard at high rating

#

People just peel, as you said

#

Unless you're a Hunter and just proc 20k killshots xD

elder wigeon
#

yeah i find big ass crits to be less common idk if I'm just unlucky as hell but it's just how it is

wheat jay
#

And any time I get good crit warrior can capitalize on that so

#

It also depends on comp xD

#

Also I don't get stopped

#

Like, I have one CD, which is 20% more dmg

#

So its not much

elder wigeon
#

yeah I play ret war, kitty, WPS and WMPala atm

#

kitty is by far the most fun

#

Kitty > WMPala > WPS > ret war in terms of fun

wheat jay
#

KFC is fun

sharp meteor
#

my partner plays every melee except feral deadge i ask and he goes on some tangent about furries deadge i just wanna play kitty/jungle

wheat jay
#

I'm survi tho, bm is better for it

elder wigeon
#

he's scared he'll turn into a furry

#

can't handle even the slightest of temptations

wheat jay
#

If he's scared of becoming furry that must mean he already has some deep desire for it

#

If he hadnt he'd have nothing to fear

sharp meteor
#

deadge I'm setting up my druid now and maybe I can bait him into setting up his if it works out nicely

#

He'll probably like kyrian boom + necro dh

wheat jay
#

Tell him to stop being a pussy, and just play one

sharp meteor
#

yeah he should

#

both specs rly nice right now

wheat jay
#

Tbh I wouldn't play feral as well

#

Not because furry or something

#

Only because I don't have mage tower appearance for cat

elder wigeon
#

that's fair

wheat jay
#

Yep

#

Why do you make selfies like you're 50 greenbear

because it seemed funny at the time

also surprised that they didn't

Worth playing leaper into hunters and rdruids? Who would you go for first if mobility was no longer an issue?

near delta

#

That sounds grief yeah

#

Would rather run double charge than losing a leggo

#

I feel like if I was able to keep 100% uptime on the druid the value of double spell reflect kind of goes down

near delta
#

Honestly I kinda wanna try it now lol

thick reef
#

swear to god, biggest thing keeping me from playing kyrian is newfound resolve

#

fuck this soulbind

sharp meteor
#

I feel like I play pelagos the least.

#

Although getting a spirit before a spear is super nice

#

I hate that bis Mikanikos restricts you to two potency conduits

#

Feels so neutered compared to necro

#

Do you have to run hammer?

#

Don't think hammer isn't even that good in pvp

sharp meteor
#

there's only two good ones as kyrian anyways

#

Mike triple pot seems fine to me

sharp meteor
#

eh

#

i don't hate piercing or adaptive

#

but they aren't the necro banner 20% str

#

You have to take sparkling driftglobe into melee no?

#

Means you can’t take piercing

#

As that path is only two potency conduits

sharp meteor
#

sparkling what now

wet scarab
#

The ability that stuns enemies for 3 secs when you’re at 30% health

sharp meteor
#

oh autostun yeah

wet scarab
#

Yeah if you take that then you only get 2 potency conduits

sharp meteor
#

like i said two potency feels fine

#

piercing feels underwhelming

#

Really? Always found it really nice against rogues in particular

#

Lots of good pressure and usually a kill against RM

#

I only really feel like I miss Kyrian against rogues and hunters

sharp meteor
#

yeah it's like christmas when i see that a hunter is playing razor

#

defensively vs stuff like retwarr also nice

#

like gl killing the psyfiend lmaooo

Heh quite a few times I just stood there outside the spear looking at the rogue attempting to flee and dying to the dot
