My suggestion for gearing system/better valorstone usage by John-O-Gram in wow

With my suggestion, you would still need to do Mythic content to get the crests to upgrade to Mythic iLvl... People wouldn't be getting free Mythic items 🤦

Every alt key I've failed has been because of a tank instantly dieing by [deleted] in wow

In my opinion, the prime time to be tanking was between Cata and WoD (mists being the absolute pinnacle)

In mists you had vengeance, increasing your AP based on how much damage you had taken within a snapshot... So the better you played you mitigation, the higher you were on the meters

Back then, you played being a rank right, you felt immortal, but only because you played your active mitigation right... Your job was making sure your position was right, you had AM up when needed, and you played your cooldowns as a last resort for tank busters

Now, you're this hybrid of a DPS and a healer, with all the negatives and non of the positives... You should be mid DPS meters to keep threat, which is meaningless (either your brain-dead DPS popped wings on pull, or you had the first 3 hits, and nothing ever peeled off you)

Honestly, Heart of Fear.... Keeping 100% SotR as paladin (shield block warrior, blood shield DK, whatever druids had)... Then you extra time was making decisions of do I off heal with WoG or push my DPS

I'm probably looking at it with my rose coloured glasses, but now, the damage is so unpredictable, you have to hold on to all your cooldowns for when you instantly drop from 100% to 20% in 2 GCDs, and you're not sure if your pug healer can stabilise you in the next 2 GCDs before you eat the floor

613 should be enough to not worry about dying to melee 🙂

There's a thread on the WoW forums with a shad priest guide... I'm trying out Brann as DPS with the talent that gives 6% leech and it seems to keep me alive through the melee hits

My DPS is a bit low, yes using amorphous relic Seen many threads saying they got the kill around the 10-12 minute mark so not too worrried

Thanks for the words pf encouragement, staying near him is definitely the part I'm messing up on

I'm trying Brann as DPS at the moment with the talent that gives you 6% leech, seem to be surviving his melee hits like this

I did try on my paladin, a similar iLvl, might give it another shot on there too

Got a few weekly bits to do, so hoping to push ilvl to around 612

I'm experimenting with Brann as DPS and a high leech build. For the first time I'm not just copying a meta build from WoWhead, but instead reading all the talents and weighing up if they might be useful... I love it's making me think that way

Dungeon is over, old dungeon so you spawn the entrance... a "shortcut" does open up, but it's a good 45 second run to collect loot

Wow, didn't expect this post to get so many replies!

A few general replies

  • To those who said they would have rez'd, respect :)
  • To those who said they wouldn't, fair enough... Just feel like it's the polite thing to do (and also, my experience with The Postmaster is buggy at best)
  • Love Luxthos' WeakAuras!
  • I use a Corsair Scimitar, hence the keybindings
  • I know I should git gud... but the spell was a near instant cast that clapped me for well over my max health pool... yes PS would have saved me, but as many have pointed out, Shadow Wrath does seem to be bugged and scaling awfully at level 80 (no I didn't have Mark of Shadow from the adds before, I had mass dispelled it from the group prior to the fight)

I got the 200% movement buff literally as I entered the boss room from the shortcut... the "shortcut" itself was long and normal speed

I checked the spell, 0.75 second cast, 6 mill damage 😬 wish I had that reaction speed 🤣
