What is the absolute fastest way to fill my vaults on my alts so that they're keeping up on voidcores? I'm guessing T1 delves? And if so which delve is quickest

Would any of you know a website/addon where is it possible to get information about mobs cast/recast timer after interrupting. This would make it easier to assign markers to perma kick x mob.

Discussion Hero Crest Downgrading is Bugged/Nerfed

0 Upvotes

Currently if you attempt to downgrade Myth Crests into Hero Crests, the Hero crests will NOT bypass the cap. This is in stark contrast to the last few seasons, where you could use this trick to sacrifice a character in order to unlock the Warband-wide Hero discount a bit earlier.

Hopefully this is a bug, but if this is an intentional change by Blizzard, it's pretty egregious that it wasn't communicated anywhere (atleast not that I could find).

Edit: Even if you think this strategy is degenerate (I agree that it is), it doesn't change the fact that this is important information for anyone who was considering taking advantage of it.

First boss murder row

31 Upvotes

Has anyone had dps get one shot by chaos barrage during first boss of murder row? I’m not sure if it’s a threat issue or just bad rng but last night i had a dps get one shot right on pull (im assuming this one was threat and they tagged boss before I did) but also coming out of an intermission same thing. Here’s a log of the run, I’m not sure how to really figure this out with logs, looks like they never had threat of boss though?

Tank availability in M+ reduced?

95 Upvotes

I'm not great at data, so I thought I'd throw a theory a buddy and I were discussing and see if anyone who is good with data can prove or disprove it. Could also be that there isn't enough data yet to really know.

With the changes to rerolls and M+ vs. Heroic and Mythic Raid as it pertains to bonus rolls, I had a thought that there would be an overall reduction in the number of tanks playing M+ this season compared to previous seasons.

What led me to this conclusion was thinking about how there are only 2 Tank spots in raid which disincentives tanking as there just isn't a need for more people to play tanks; however, I have characters in a few guilds as a M+ only player and I noticed that while there used to be a lot of folks that would tank M+ for quick queues to get gear and then play DPS in raid, they just aren't doing anything but delves and raid now or only running one key each week to spend their bonus roll token targeting an item slot they can't get a better item in raid.

So my question is, have the changes to bonus rolls and M+ vs. Raid this season lead to a reduction in the available tanks in the M+ pool by simply reducing the loot benefits of playing M+?

I suspect it led to a reduction across the board based on what i'm seeing on Raider.io as there were 5.1 and 3.6 million runs in week one and two of season 1 and only 4 and 2 million runs in weeks one and two of season 2.

Looking at TWW Season 1, it went from 2.4 and 2.1 million to 2.2 and 2.1 million in season 2. TWW season 3 showing 4.1 and 3.5 million for weeks one and two respectively.

I hope this doesn't devolve into a "raid is better than M+ as content" or "M+ is better than raid as content" discussion, I'm just curious about the effects of blizzards changes.

What does the data show for someone who is smarter than I am?

How do you learn skips in dungeons with PUGs?

24 Upvotes

Question, how do you practice as a tank to learn the skips in dungeons with PUGs? Example, Voidscar Arena, if you go the left route after the first boss, you skip the pack at the stairs and the dragon after.

Another example, King's Rest, the big elite on the bridge after the first boss.

How do you learn these skips and do them with PUGs for high keys?

Discussion Healing Difficulty of Season 2

Post image
240 Upvotes

I'm a multi-season "midcore" healer, usually finishing somewhere in the Top 1-3% if I actually bother to play the whole season.

I've seen some say this season feels easier to heal than the previous one, but I beg to differ. So far I think it's a lot harder, though part of that no doubt has to do with people being unfamiliar with the dungeons and not playing them properly (myself included). I pug almost exclusive and you do see a lot of priority kicks and mechanics get ignored, causing unnecessary wipes or dicey situations.

In that sense I guess it is at least less punishing since I can, to some degree, brute force my way through some ridiculous HPS checks caused by missed kicks. But it's pretty stressful and doesn't always work out (maybe a random targeted cast will snipe someone before I can top everyone off, etc.).

There are also some genuine outliers like AOF. I pugged a +15 earlier and the group was a bit of a disaster from the start, but even so, I was doing 300-400k HPS almost every pull. This is like twice the amount of healing required for most pulls in other dungeons. You do have some big HPS checks in other places too, but AOF is pretty relentless with throwing them at you back-to-back with very little downtime.

On the opposite end of the spectrum you have something like KR, which I think most of us recognize as the "free key" of the season. The only place where things can really go wrong in there is the big pull at the start with the two golems. But otherwise that whole dungeon feels like a walk in the park (a very long one, but still).

Then you also have something like MR, which is made artificially more difficult by the framerate issues. The mob density in there is completely wack and goes against Midnight's own philosophy of cutting down on the amount of "nameplate soup," but I guess Blizzard forgot about that.

I'd be really interested in hearing from other healers on how they're faring with this season's dungeons, and which ones they're having the most trouble with. Especially other pug healers, since we all know that's a completely different world from premades where people actually have interrupts and crowd control on their action bars.

Northern Sky Sszorak vent alert and Coiled Altar Cut

28 Upvotes

Hello everyone :)

I''ve noticed that Method used NSRT for their WF Sszorak, and more specifically, the "wind vent help", that tells where to put puddles. But my question is : how does that work ? Is it automated and then you need to put down markers in the arena in a specific way for it to work ? If so, where to get the plan ? Can’t find it...

And also, for coiled altar. I've noticed in the RWF that they have for p2 interrupt add, something attached to the frame of the add that tells who should be the next kicker. Is it something also found in NS ?

Have a great day !

Discussion Crafting big potential fix!

25 Upvotes

I posted previously about the crafting bug and it appears it’s getting quite more experienced by others.

I’ve just got my item in the mail! Now this could be pure coincidence but if so, it’s crazy timing. But wanted to share in case it is what fixed it.

I got fed up of waiting for my ticket to be even looked at, 2 days and no response.

I was thinking of all the things it could be, and thought that it might be a problem with the in game mail service. So what if I sent a mail from my character to the crafter and see if it triggered anything and sent me the item.

So I sent him a letter. A subject and a simple message. Logged off, did a delve on a different character, logged back in and there was my item in the mail!

Could be a fluke but worth a try right?

Edit: Sigh, I noticed my autocorrect title mistake after submitting…

Holy Priest 2-set bonus bug?

For me at least I don't get any bonus crit on the character sheet, perhaps this is just a visual bug?

Is this the same for everyone, and is it possible it's actually not working?

Question Prot Pala 4-piece tier bonus doesn't work?

10 Upvotes

When said abilities crit, there's no debuff on the enemy or any other indication that it's receiving increased holy damage. Anybody tested it?

For example, Holy Shield deals 35k damage, I hit the enemy with a Judgement crit and the next shield STILL does 35k while it should deal 40% more.

Crafting bug strikes again

It appears crafting (EU) is having bugs again.

Sent a personal crafting order to my regular crafter and when they clicked complete it disappeared.

80 myth crests, 2 sparks and max rank mats all gone.

I’ve submitted a ticket but please be wary when crafting.
