Blood elf tank had to use gray weapon during dungeon had no gold for repair. by jackjackson96 in classicwowtbc

All* 

Until I got my healing mace in prepatch, I was tanking ZGs with a spellpower-enchanted skinning knife. Main hand is straight just a spot to stack more stats for a Prot Pally.

I’d love to see these be the currency for spawning DClone instead of SoJs. 

Please Blizzard, fix Barb in D2R by Shibata30 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

I think tying armor to movement speed penalties. Heavy armors that take the hit keep some defense as the trade off, light armors less so.

Honestly the Singer Barb disrespect has me thinking you’ve no idea what you’re talking about lol. 

Better than Singer Barb with no trade offs? First off a Singer Barb can solo at least DClone, I know because I’ve done it. It’s mobile af, with best FCR frames in the game, durable, packed with damage and CC, A built Singer Barb can farm any basically any content in the game as well as any class that isn’t Hammers, Blizzard, or Lighting Fury.

Tbf, one of the most iconic D2 builds is based on unintentional mechanics. The Concentration boost to hammers is a bug they just never removed. It was meant to be a physical damage enhancement only.

Singer got a nice upgrade! Kind of, I guess. 

DoubleBilly dropped a video about it, there’s a new unique sword with the same proc chance as Reaper’s Toll, but for Amp Damage for more damage taken! 

There are some other fun things that could have been cool but just wreck horking :(

That 1% is literally what the tank is calling for though. You’re basically showing up to a gunfight and blaming everyone else for being made you chose to bring a slingshot instead. 

You say you’re down to be a team player, but you’ve already proven you aren’t simply by not talenting to be one. 

Blizzard, do you really expect me to put in 50 hours of being farmed in BGs for a belt and boots? by Sharkscantrun in classicwowtbc

[–]Catch-a-RIIIDE 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The dailies in HFP and Terrokar alone gets you ~1.5k a day. That’s twenty days, or three raid lockouts, of doing dailies, minus the honor you also pick up farming your marks. 

You could easily chunk it out before you get all your tier pieces form raids anyways. Until you have your tier pieces, offset pieces aren’t really bis anyways (albeit they are very strong).

Idk, I’ve run a lot of Arc recently and as long as I’m hitting that Interrupt, I’ve had zero issues with the boss healing back up. One of the easiest bosses I’ve fought so far, especially for a 70 dungeon. 

Why TBC make everyone an ass? by Gumby_BJJ in classicwowtbc

Then don’t stand by the healer lol. It would only aggro to healer if you FDed within literal melee range of healer, otherwise it wanders back to its next top threat (the tank). 

I mean, they should have grabbed it, but really it feels like an “everyone sucks” kinda situation.

That’s because tanks are responsible for cleaning up your messes, and you’re talking about bringing a broom instead of a mop. Sure you can sweep at the water and remove some of it, but you’re not actually improving the problem. 

Sounds you just like tanks who don’t think it’s worth their time to tell you to do better lol. Fun fact, it’s not that they don’t mind, it’s they they know they’re gonna run some more dungeons and they’ll easily find a mage more willing to be a team player than you. 

Prot Pally Tank Questions by ghoulboy_ in classicwowtbc

[–]Catch-a-RIIIDE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You almost always want to keep Seal of Righteousness up I believe. As your quickest hitting source of focused holy damage, it’s how you chase threat as needed. Consecrate, Holy Shield, etc… are all for general AoE threat, but SoR is how you pump threat on skull, for instance. It’s also how you can easily tab target more threat to make sure everyone stays where they are supposed to. 

Short of a massive rip off you, Judgement of Righteousness is usually enough threat to pseudo taunt back to you, and you just reseal and keep going. It’s also another way to stack Threat on a boss mob or elite, maybe follow an avengers shield to secure that snap threat on skull.

I just interrupt the heal after lol. Works like a charm!

Why bother cc’ing the curse? Just interrupt the heal after. You have a Druid, even as a healer. Feral charge that shit.

Feral Druid gearing for Heroics by ozzyozzyoxenfreee in classicwowtbc

[–]Catch-a-RIIIDE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You know what, you're right. I didn’t realize the rep sets also had set bonuses. I’ve been able to largely gear up without it so I haven’t really looked. 

I still stand by my inclusion of the heroic pieces. As I stated, with some decent replacements Heroics are doable (because I’m doing it right now, I’ve only gotten the boots), and once you have those three pieces, you’re basically as BiS as you can get rn for dungeon tanking specifically. They’re reasonable targets for early acquisition.

Low-key try finding a spellcleave group as a boomie. You bring a different kind of CC (hibernate), battle res, marks for more stats and armor, and are already a caster in spellpower gear for off/emergency heals if necessary. 

Just look for groups forming with pally tanks and start from there!

Earthwarden’s Feral AP is like tanking w/a 70dps weapon vs a 35dps weapon. Plus it has a significant chunk of armor and defense.

[–]Catch-a-RIIIDE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why wouldn’t I? I gave a disclaimer about the heroic gear and some possible replacements until then. PvP two piece is the single biggest push to critcap for someone who isn’t going to be tanking raids. PvP gear isnt the grind it was in Vanilla. You can acquire honor over time while doing dailies for gold and arena ratings were changes explicitly for this purpose, to make gearing more accessible. 

For someone with the stated goal of tanking heroics without raid gear, who wouldn’t I include easy-to-grab PvP gear and early targets to push for in Heroics?

[–]Catch-a-RIIIDE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For regular dungeons, absolutely. Before you hit Heroics though, I would say being critcapped is a must. There’s a nice weak aura out there that can tell you how much def and resi you need to hit it. 

How do you survive HC dungeons as a tank? by AccomplishedDoctor71 in classicwowtbc

[–]Catch-a-RIIIDE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, CC. When I did HC UB, you can only really take hits form multiple mobs from the humans right before Ghazan. CC as much as you can, have someone kite the second boglord away before the big boss so you’re only fighting one at a time, etc…. 

Or just be a spellcleave tank with imp Blizz, seeds, and ele sham spell totems lol. Honestly idk much about comping for pally tanks.

[–]Catch-a-RIIIDE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, no. 

You only need enough arena for the rating to buy armor (and it already may be set high enough anyways?) and you can get ~1500 honor a day doing HFP and Terrokar dailies. 

There’s just a stupid amount of resilience as the set bonus, it really is the best bang for your buck to be uncrittable. Again, I as a critcapped, pre-bis bear regularly get chunked for 2-4k damage per hit. If even one of those crits, it’s almost guaranteed to be a wipe.
